Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Will and Lan are rare people in this world with extremely upright values. Kuroko's personality is quite twisted, and she has taken many lives, but ultimately it is mostly due to factors caused by the Empire. Besides, the other party is Akame's own sister, so she still has to give her some face.

"Whether it's Tatsumi or Mr. Wood, why do you both choose to rebel and bring chaos to the empire when you are both people with a heart full of justice?"

Looking at Wood standing in front of him, Will's expression was quite excited. Wood's selfless act of saving those children during his battle with Esdeath had long been deeply engraved in Will's mind.

To put it bluntly, Wood at that time was the "hero" that Will had always admired since childhood—powerful, gentle, and handsome.

But for this very reason, he simply couldn't understand why a righteous hero like Wood would become a rebel and stand against the empire.

"It's a very simple principle. The so-called empire you're referring to might not be the side of justice as you imagine."

"You couldn't see it before when you were serving in the Imperial Navy in a local area, but now that you've been living in the capital, does the Empire you've seen and heard resemble your expectations?"

Will is a young man with a strong sense of justice. If he could, Wood would not want to kill such a person. After all, there are not many people like him in this world. They are one less person to kill.

Will was speechless after Wood's words. He was an upright man, but he was not stupid. His time in the capital had indeed shown him many things he shouldn't have seen.

Even so, Will had his own concerns and insistence, so he countered, "I understand that the Empire has changed a lot since then."

But waging war is not the only solution; once war breaks out, countless people will die.

As a member of the Imperial Navy, Will is well aware of the horrors of war and understands just how many lives are lost in each war, which is why he has been trying his best to stop it.

"How foolish! The empire is already so rotten and corrupt, do you really expect it to slowly change?"

The empire is a sick tree, and it's terminally ill. Since it's beyond saving, the most correct course of action is to knock it down and let new shoots grow from it.

As for what you said about people dying in war, that's because you see those poor people dying every day in the dark corners of the capital.

Those who die on the battlefield deserve sympathy, but who will seek justice for the weak who perish in the dark corners of the capital?

Seeing Will's struggling expression, Wood didn't waste any more words and immediately attacked. After all, if Esdeath returned, they would be in trouble.

Seeing Wood charge forward with his knife, Kuroko gripped the "Hachifusa" in her hand and rushed to Will, who was still reeling from the verbal attack and hadn't yet reacted.

"Ding------!"

Wood's longsword, which he had acquired from the Imperial Capital's weapons market, collided with Black Eyes' Hachifusa in mid-air, creating a shower of sparks.

However, compared to Esdeath, even with the injection of the Empire's drugs, Kurome's physical advantages were clearly far inferior to Wood's.

In this clash of blades, Black Eyes' petite body was sent flying backward like a cannonball. However, just as Wood was about to press his advantage, Black Eyes released several of her undead puppets.

During the previous attack on the Night Raid base, the seven Dead Puppet of the Black Eye Imperial Arms "Yafusa" were lost, and now only four remain: childhood friend Natara, Super Dangerous Epman, Bunker survivor Hunter, and former Imperial General Locke.

Of the four dead puppets, Hunter of the Bang clan was probably the strongest, even being called the greatest masterpiece by Black Eyes, who had killed the opponent through a scheme in the past.

His strength during his lifetime was even greater than that of Kurohime himself.

“Bangzun Hunter, I’ve heard of you. You’re said to be a fellow who could rival the princes of the northern barbarians.”

But I've met this so-called foreign prince before; he's nothing special. What level are you, trying to compare yourself to him? Let me see what you're capable of!

Seeing the four undead puppets that suddenly appeared in front of him, Wood was not afraid at all. Instead, he took the initiative to step forward with a look of fighting spirit.

Chapter 438 The Black Eyes on the Verge of Death!

"Is Wood alright? With the four guys summoned by 'March of the Dead: Eight Houses,' he's going to face all seven of them head-on!"

Far from where Wood and the others were fighting, Mine crouched down from a high vantage point, using her Imperial Arms "Romantic Turret" to aim, ready to strike at any moment.

Chelsea, on the other hand, uses the "Gaia Foundation" to transform into an eagle, using her eagle eyes to survey her surroundings from the air and react promptly to any changes that occur.

When she saw Black Eyes summon four undead puppets, Wood went from being one against three to one against seven. Chelsea, feeling a little worried, landed on Mine's back and asked.

"If you think he can't handle it, it's because you don't know him well enough."

That guy once sparred with everyone in our "Night Raid" group except Lubbock, and he ended up winning by himself.

"Compared to those puppets of the dead, I don't think Brand and Akame are easier to deal with. Although Wood doesn't have a Teigu right now, he still has me!"

As Mine spoke, she pulled the trigger on the "Romantic Turret"!

With a pink beam of light shooting from afar, former Imperial General Locke was shot in the head and died instantly.

The so-called strongest member of the tribe, Hunter, together with Natara, one of the former seven assassins of the empire, could only barely hold back Wood, and were even suppressed throughout the entire process.

The massive, super-dangerous Epman originally intended to ambush Wood, but Wood detected it in advance with his Observation Haki. With a "Shave" and "Moonwalk," Epman vanished from Natara and Hunter's sight and appeared behind Epman's head, wielding a long sword and unleashing a fierce slash!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itachi-ryu!"

A fierce gust of wind howled out, and the extremely sharp wind blades offered almost no resistance, easily severing the head of the super dangerous species, Appleman.

Even though the battle had only been going on for a few moments, two of the few undead puppets that Black Eyes was so proud of had already died.

"Will, how long are you going to stand there like a dummy?!"

Wood was very strong, something Kurome had known for a long time, but she hadn't expected that Wood would still maintain such strength even without his Teigu.

If she continues at this pace, she has absolutely no chance of winning, so she can only ask her teammates for help.

Lan's "Ten Thousand Mile Flight" is not very effective in direct combat. Although it can carry teammates at high speed, it can only carry one person at a time, so its usefulness is limited at this moment.

Hearing the girl's cries, Will finally snapped out of his daze. Forget about the Empire and the Revolutionary Army; all Will needed to do now was protect his comrades!

"Asura Incarnation: Noble Chariot!"

With a burst of air that enveloped Will's figure, a handsome armored warrior appeared the next second.

In terms of appearance alone, the "Noble Chariot" is indeed cooler than the "Haunted by Evil" because of its bright blue color and more technologically advanced equipment and cape.

The jetpack on his back exploded, propelling Will's body at high speed in an instant, and he burst into Wood's face in a flash, delivering a punch straight to Wood's cheek.

Faced with this fierce punch, Wood did not choose to dodge. Instead, his arm was coated with a black substance at a visible speed, and then he threw a punch in return.

"boom------!"

Fists collided in mid-air, instantly creating a powerful gust of wind. The terrifying aftershocks of the collision cracked the ground beneath their feet and sent up a large amount of debris.

However, to Will's disbelief, at the moment of exchanging punches, his body actually experienced a tremendous impact, and the next second, this impact actually carried his body backward and slid several meters on the ground!

Even though he had already used the Imperial Arm and was charging forward to build up his momentum, he ended up being the one who was knocked away after a head-on collision.

Wood is powerful, Will admits that, but this is just too outrageous!

The opponent was just a mortal, while he was wearing Imperial Armor. With this punch, Will even had the illusion that the opponent's fist was harder than his own armor!

And despite being wearing the Imperial Armor and having his physical abilities supposedly enhanced, he was actually knocked away by a single punch from someone unarmed?

"Will is really good at cooking..."

Hearing Kuroko's sarcastic remark, Will looked embarrassed, but having long been used to Kuroko's sharp tongue, he showed no sign of being discouraged and continued charging towards Wood.

Is Will weak? Actually, no. Even within the entire "Hunter" team, Will's combat strength is definitely among the top three.

The emotionless black eyes just liked to make fun of Will in their daily lives, after all, she had just personally experienced how extraordinary Wood's physical abilities were.

Lan, feeling useless here, has taken the initiative to go find Mine and the others who shot her from the shadows.

Meanwhile, Wood, facing Will, Black Eyes, Natara, and Hunter all by himself, still maintained a completely relaxed attitude.

Exquisite and superb swordsmanship, powerful physical skills that can cover up weaknesses, superb Observation Haki that can always predict their attacks, and excellent reflexes and Armament Haki that amplifies both attack and defense.

Even without his Imperial Arms, Wood in front of him was still a guy with almost no weaknesses.

He can suppress Black Eyes with his swordsmanship, and he can also fight Will, who is wearing full armor, with his bare hands.

Although the puppets Natara and Hunter kept trying to find an opening, they couldn't find any weakness in Wood's defenses and were repeatedly beaten to the ground by him.

Whether it's Kurome's "March of the Dead" or Will's "Noble Chariot," they are both Imperial Arms, and as long as they are Imperial Arms, they will inevitably cause huge consumption of energy to the body.

Leaving Will aside for now, Black Eyes was already expending a lot of energy summoning two undead puppets to fight, and now she was maintaining such a high intensity of combat, her body was quickly reaching its limit.

After clashing with Wood's longsword and blocking the attack, Black Eyes inexplicably coughed up a mouthful of blood. Natara and Hunter, who were still under his control, lost their power like puppets that had broken free of their strings and fell to the ground.

Seeing the black-haired girl suddenly cough up blood and collapse to the ground, Will also suddenly became incredibly powerful. He not only punched Wood away, but also picked up the fallen Black Eyes and prepared to run away.

"If you don't want her to die here, it's best to put her down now."

Feeling the numbness in his arm, Wood couldn't help but sigh. The punch Will had just unleashed for the girl was at least two or three times stronger than before. Sure enough, men always unleash incredible power in front of women they like.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Will, who was about to get up and leave with Black Eyes in his arms, stopped abruptly and looked at Wood with a puzzled expression.

"You don't think that the reason the girl in your arms vomited blood was because of me, do you?"

"No matter what, she's Akame's younger sister. I've been going easy on her the whole time. The reason this happened is simply because of a health issue on her part."

Upon hearing what Wood said, Will not only failed to understand the situation, but also looked even more puzzled.

"As her companion, you can't be completely unaware of her situation, can you?"

Seeing how much you cared about her just now, I thought you two were a couple. Turns out you're just a scumbag who's only after her looks and lust after her body.

Will, who came from the countryside, couldn't withstand the teasing of an experienced man like Wood. He was soon blushing and started to argue back.

"Kuro-tomi is Akame's younger sister. She also comes from the Empire's assassination squad. Unlike other squads, the Empire's assassination squad is considered one of the darkest places in the entire Empire."

To train top assassins, they would orchestrate scenarios where the assassins killed their own family and friends, thus completely erasing their senses. Akame and Kurome were products of this method.

"Compared to her younger sister Kurome, Akame has extremely high talent, which is why she was chosen as one of the Empire's 'Seven Assassins'."

After Akame betrayed the Empire, Kurome chose to undergo a drug injection administered by the Empire to strengthen her body in order to seek revenge, which ultimately led to her selection as one of the Elite Seven.

The Empire's medicine can enhance her abilities and make her so resilient that she can only die if her head is cut off or her heart is pierced.

However, the side effects are also enormous, namely, the drug is highly addictive and extremely corrosive, which will continuously erode her body.
