Chapter 12: First partner
"Chaos on the Sabaody Archipelago!"
The next day, the newspaper and everything else were filled with information about the accident that happened in the Sabaody Archipelago.
While everything that happened in the lawless area, where all the crime happened, and most that were affected were bad people, which everyone was happy for, many couldn't stay calm, especially when the Marines were also attacked as they tried to stop the chaos.
Yet, the focus of everything was simply because those people who had made this commotion were so weird!
However, considering the low IQ of the people in this world, there was hardly anyone who thought weirdly about this accident. Instead, everyone just accepted everything the way it was, especially when the information that was gathered during the accident was extremely limited.
Yes, nothing was weird except for the fact that all of those people who were rampaging in the lawless area were controlled as mindless dolls by Masa.
However, even so, those with high IQs knew that something weird was happening, and some people were worried that this dangerous element that no one knew might become a hidden danger that might cause unrest within the stability of the world.
"What are you frowning about, Tsuru?" Sengoku looked at his old comrade with confusion as Tsuru had been reading the newspaper for a while.
"No, I am just reading the news about the Saobody."
"Isn't that good news?" Sengoku showed a rare, warm smile. "That place should have been destroyed a long time ago. If there is a group of people that wish to destroy it, then why not?"
As long as the place that was attacked by this group of people wasn't the Marine Base, other residential areas, or even worse, the places where most nobles and rich resided, everything was okay.
"Well, you are right..."
Tsuru nodded, yet even so, she couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling within her heart, as if... someone controlled this group of people from the dark. Then—
However, soon, she shook her head for being overthinking. Even if someone was really capable of controlling a group of people like mindless dolls, this person did a good deed by destroying an evil place, such as the lawless area of the Saobody Archipelago.
'Yet, if this person is an evil... then...'
Tsuru would do her best to catch this person since she knew that for someone to have the power to control others like a mindless doll, this definitely is a power that shouldn't fall into the hands of an evil person.
Yet, while the Marines might react lukewarmly as they weren't affected much instead, they benefitted since many mice and lice that had been disguising themselves as justice had been taken out due to this incident, many nobles, rich people, criminals, and many others, whose wealth were related to the lawless area of the Saobody Archipelago, cried and cursed the group of people that had been destroying their source of money!
Some of them even complained to the Marines, hoping for the head or the person who had been hiding behind the dark to be caught, as this person had caused unrest in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Unfortunately, many people in this world had such low IQs that some Marines followed the words of those people, trying to catch all the people who destroyed the lawless area of the Saobody Archipelago.
So, at this moment, even if this place was known as lawless, a place that shouldn't be ruled and had been ignored, it was full of Marines that was ready to catch anyone who was suspicious and related to last night's accident. Yet, unexpectedly, they underestimated this group of people since, as mindless dolls, there was nothing that they feared.
No, so even if there was a group of Marines that surrounded the lawless area, all of them attacked without hesitation and even committed a suicide attack, ignoring their lives, which made the situation even more chaotic than ever.
Yet, if someone reacted the most about this incident, it would be a certain Shichibukai Member who had a lot of influence on the lawless area of the Saobody Archipelago and whose member died, killed during this accident.
"Young Master... Machvise's Vivre card is..."
Everyone had a gloomy expression when they saw the Vivre card of Machvise; their family burnt and disappeared.
"Fufufufu..."
A tall man with short blonde hair and a flamboyant coat laughed with all of his might, yet for those who heard his laugh, it gave them a shudder of fear. His expression was distorted, and blood veins were so prominent on his face, showing how furious he was.
"How dare you touch my family....!"
Donquixote Doflamingo couldn't control his emotions, and a powerful aura swept over his body, causing many to stumble, lose their footing, or, even worse, pass out.
"Young Master!"
Yet, everyone understood Doflamingo's feelings since for him, his family, and this pirate group was his everything, and touching his family meant death!
"Wait here, I will go to Saobody!"
"Yes!"
After Doflamingo said so, he left his home, soaring toward the sky, aiming for the life that had killed his family.
Yet, Masa, who had taken the life of Machvise, knew nothing about that. Instead, he was just woken up and then looked at the woman who had taken his virginity.
'Carina...'
Out of all the women that he slept with, he wondered how he could sleep with Carina, one of the heroines in One Piece, who was also known as Nami's rival. His plan was to go after Nami's older sister in the beginning, but he got her rival instead.
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Masa then took out ten million belly, which he had taken from the lawless area, to give to Carina. He didn't plan to bring her with him, considering his adventurer was full of danger and, more importantly, to become stronger, he would be ruthless. His life in this world would definitely be different from Luffy, who would just beat up the villains and then continue with his adventure.
To become powerful, he would do anything, and for Carina, who had a gentle heart, she definitely couldn't stay with him.
It was just when he was about to leave that his hand was grasped.
"Are you going to leave me after you took my virginity?"
"....."
Masa fell silent, watching Carina, who suddenly woke up and also took out the ten million belly into her pocket so naturally. Still, before he even said anything, she cried loudly and blamed him. "How cruel! After everything we have done... you are going to leave me like that...?"
"...do you want to follow me?"
"Let's go!"
Hearing his invitation, there was no hesitation in her actions, and Carina directly wore her clothes as if what had happened last night hadn't caused trouble to her body.
Only—
"Don't force yourselves. Let me help you."
"...I think you should help me from the beginning since it was all your fault, right?"
Carina looked at Masa with grief since her body was all sores, and there were many lewd marks, showing how fierce he was. Still, there was no doubt; she was so sad since she didn't expect this guy to be so cruel as to leave her just like that after he gave her a ten million belly!
She wasn't a prostitute, bastard!
Moreover, wasn't this guy too stingy?
Ten million belly was just a small amount of money compared to all the money that Masa had stolen from this lawless area, right?
How dare he leave her when he didn't even share eighty percent of all of his wealth?!
How cruel!
"When we get out of this place, let's stay in the luxurious hotel."
"Um..."
At least, Carina had to say, this guy was so gentle, which made her heart warm and a little happy for some reason.
As for Masa, well, he also smiled since, while he was unsure of how it would be in the future, he got his first partner.
"Oh, right, what's your name?"
"...Carina." Carina was speechless, realizing that they didn't even know each other's names, but at the same time, she cursed herself for telling her real name without much thought. "What about you?"
"Masa."
"Real name?"
"Real name."
"Masa..." Carina nodded with a soft smile, then asked, "Say, everything is good at all, but how will we even leave this place?" As she asked so, her eyes peeked outside, watching many fights, chaos, and a group of Marines that were ready to catch anyone within a lawless area.
If it was others, it might be difficult, but for Masa?
"Well, leave it to me."
