"Pop!" Under the shining sun, a multicoloured bubble slowly ascended to its highest point and suddenly burst.
Beneath a sturdy tree, Arashi knelt with his hands tied behind his back, his head bowed in silent contemplation.
A black barrel of a gun was aimed precisely at the back of his head.
"Execute!" Major Karens ordered in a low voice, withdrawing his gaze from the black-haired boy. A flicker of regret passed deep in his eyes.
Everyone knew the boy was not at fault, yet he could not escape death. "Damn Celestial Dragons!" Karens thought angrily.
The talented individual under his command would have had a promising future with them. But he had no choice.
If the Celestial Dragons did not see the boy's corpse, his own life would be at risk. "Bang!" As this thought flashed through his mind, the gunshot rang out.
This boy was just one of the hundreds, or perhaps tens of thousands, who had offended the Celestial Dragons and the nobility and were doomed to die.
Karens sighed and turned to leave. It was hard to avoid such incidents while stationed at the Sabaody Archipelago, but this was his fate to endure.
Commodore Karens believed strongly in destiny. However, as he took a few steps forward, he unexpectedly found that his Marines had yet to follow.
"What are you standing there for? Lift his body and dispose of it quickly!"
Karens said, frowning as he turned around. But as he turned, the scene made his pupils contract sharply.
Shock, disbelief! His already grim face quickly changed colour, leaving him momentarily bewildered.
Beneath the black-haired boy, there was a small hole, and the faint smell of gunpowder lingered in the air, a trace of the gunshot.
The Marine-issue rifle had a distinctive scent. "He's not dead?"
"How is that possible?"
"The bullet pierced through the back of his head and exited his forehead."
A trembling, slightly panicked voice spoke.
Commodore Karens quickly regained his composure, staring at the black-haired boy who had now raised his head.
From the beginning to the end, the boy remained calm after being captured, showing no fear in the face of death.
Even after being shot in the head, he still wasn't dead.
The boy's eyes were as black as ink, calm to the point of being unsettling, as if he had anticipated this scene.
Karens noticed that there wasn't even a scratch on the boy's forehead, as if the bullet hadn't hit him at all.
His pupils narrowed slightly, and Karen quickly said, "Use a Sword."
The Marine behind the boy hesitated before drawing his military knife from his waist.
He understood Commodore Karens' intention: to execute by beheading.
This boy was strange; bullets couldn't kill him.
In the next second, the knife sliced through the air, cutting through the boy's neck without any resistance under the Marine's full swing.
Everyone saw the entire process and ensured the execution was flawlessly carried out.
Yet, to their shock, the black-haired boy remained unscathed.
His head did not fall to the ground; his face and eyes were as calm as a lake. A mockery even appeared in his gaze as he stared at Karen.
"What the hell are you?" Karen shouted.
He sensed something was very wrong; the gunshot couldn't kill him, and the beheading didn't harm him. This boy seemed like a monster.
Arashi did not answer his question; his mind was occupied elsewhere.
After experiencing death twice, the two extra points on his panel made him ponder.
About ten days ago, he arrived and became a gardener under a noble on the Sabaody Archipelago, making some good friends.
Before the noble's family returned, Arashi's days were relatively comfortable.
Until that day when a richly dressed, obese man came back in a furious rage.
He seemed to have experienced extreme humiliation outside and vented all his anger on the household servants.
Four of Arashi's friends were beaten to death, and one female friend was tortured to death by the noble's twisted hobbies.
She was forced to enter a large pot naked, then steamed, and finally burned alive.
Arashi had never imagined that such cruelty and evil could exist.
Despite being a slave, his friends had treated him kindly, especially that girl who would secretly save extra food for him every day.
Whenever their eyes met, her fair cheeks would blush. When it was his turn, Arashi went berserk.
He fought desperately and was shot in the heart by the noble.
Upon arriving in this world, He discovered his first unique trait: he couldn't die! No matter the attack, any fatal damage would be nullified.
He could be injured but never killed. Using this immortality, Arashi died twenty-three times and eventually killed the noble and his thirty-two guards.
He managed to escape. Until today, Arashi had provoked a Celestial Dragon and was captured by Marine Commodore Karens.
Sometimes, he mocked his misfortune.
Others who reincarnated or transmigrated would become admirals at eight or challenge the Yonko at ten, dominating the world.
But he had become a noble's slave. Still, he hadn't figured out the purpose of the points on his system, which increased with each death.
...
"Devil Fruit user?" Karens quickly judged, seeing no response. Such a bizarre phenomenon could only be explained by a Devil Fruit ability.
He then ordered five more gunshots and three beheadings, but the black-haired boy remained unharmed.
This guy seemed impossible to kill. "Take him to the base and use Seastone handcuffs or seawater," Karens said, frowning.
The Marines immediately complied, lifting Arashi and dragging him forward. "Investigate his background. Find out what this guy's deal is!" Karens added.
A boy who couldn't be killed was too strange. Karens had never seen such a power.
His curiosity grew, and he wanted to try other methods to see if the boy could die. How could there be someone unkillable in this world?
As they arrived at the base, the gate sentry saluted and whispered, "The Vice Admiral is here."
Karens froze, instantly becoming nervous. To him, the Vice Admiral could only mean one person.
"Burn him! Drown him in seawater, use poison gas, bombard him with cannons—try everything!"
He waved his hand, ordering the Marines behind him. Then, he quickly composed himself and walked briskly towards the office.
Hearing Karen's words, Arashi remained silent. At that moment, he was curious about the points on his panel.
Each death added a point. He also wondered if he could indeed be killed.
