One day, you would see someone who was arrogant and despotic a second ago, but in the next moment, he was already lying on the ground like a dead man. In that case, the first reaction of an ordinary person would be fear.
Knowing that one was powerful would only make people respect him, because there was a possibility of surpassing him. Unless it was the kind of power that could overwhelm everything and make people despair, when people could no longer raise the power to resist, only then would despair give birth to fear.
Fear would only come from the unknown and immeasurable. Therefore, the pirates were afraid of such a strange scene. The noisy tavern truly became silent, as if silence could dispel the confusion and confusion that came from the heart.
" What?" The young man took out the bounty list from his pocket and looked at it. He was slightly disappointed when he realized that the captain's bounty was only 500,000 Bailey.
The Eastern Sea was indeed the weakest sea because the strongest pirate had appeared here!
The young man looked around, and the pirates who were swept by his gaze instinctively shrank their heads, feeling uneasy.
The young man sat back in his seat and held his chin with his right hand. If the pirates present still had the courage to pay attention, they would be surprised to find that the depths of the young man's eyes revealed an unconcealable fatigue.
The side effects of using the fruit's ability too frequently were starting to show. It was a kind of fatigue that came from the depths of his soul. To recover, the only thing Rody could do was to close his eyes and use time to slowly heal his wounds.
But for Lodi, time was the most important thing. He knew the side effects of the fruit, but he still had to use it to become more familiar with it.
In fact, in this world, no matter who stopped moving forward, they would only be waiting for death. In this world where the strong were respected and the weak were prey to the strong, people without power were pitiful.
He slowly touched the scar on his forehead. This had become an almost instinctive action. After coming to this world, it was the first time he was injured, the first time he began to doubt his own strength, and the first time he was close to death.。。There were so many firsts. This scar carried too much meaning, and it was also the reason why Rody didn't dare to relax.
After finishing the last glass of wine, Lodi stood up. This action, however, affected the nerves of the pirates who were paying attention to Lodi. Under their uneasy gazes, Lodi walked out of the bar at a moderate pace. This made the pirates in the tavern heave a sigh of relief. As for the pirates who were still unconscious, no one paid any attention to them. There would not be pirates stupid enough to exchange other pirates for the bounty and also lose themselves.
After walking out of the bar, Rody looked up at the rising sun, his eyes filled with confusion.
Everything happened too suddenly. He suddenly came to this world and suddenly obtained the Demon Fruit. From the initial confusion to the fear of encountering pirates, from the excitement of obtaining the fruit to the doubt of his own strength, and then to the confusion of not knowing what to do. It was like a cycle, but he had experienced too much in between.
Lodi had also thought of forming his own pirate group, but that was just an ignorant idea when he first obtained the fruit's ability. This was too difficult. Not only could they be hunted down by the navy at any time, but finding a powerful and trustworthy partner was something that could only be found by luck. Most importantly, Lodi did not pursue the onepiece. In other words, he did not have a dream. A pirate group without a dream meant that the pirate group would have ended before they even set off.
Just as Lodi was lost in his thoughts, he heard a commotion in front of him. Lodi looked in the direction of the noise and saw a group of pirates chasing a girl with orange hair. Of course, this wasn't what really caught his attention. After all, in this era where killing was the main theme, no one would pay attention to such things.
If one day you meet a beggar begging you to give him a meal, some kind-hearted people may be generous to help out of sympathy or other reasons, but
What if he met one every day? What if he was already used to such things? What choice would he make?
The passers-by's cold eyes answered this question very well.
Of course, not everyone was like this. There would always be a few who dared to stand up and try to break the rules that were formed by people unintentionally or intentionally for their own beliefs. No matter how dark and decaying the era was, such people would always exist. Some people did this and miraculously succeeded. We called them heroes or creators of the era. Then, the remaining failures would be laughed at by the world. Because they would not understand why they had to do that. Failure was not convincing.
Humans were strange creatures. They had the ambition to improve, but they were afraid of change because they had at least adapted to the current environment. Although it might be better after the change, who could be sure before it happened? The unknown was the easiest thing to fear and shrink back.
Rody was just an ordinary person. He didn't have strong beliefs, nor did he have the ambition to change the rules. He didn't have the strength to change everything.
Perhaps helping this girl was just a matter of raising one's hand. In his original world, if he did not help, he would at least be condemned by morality. However, in this world, if he helped, he might be judged as a strange party. This was such a world, cruel and real!
