Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

With the current close-range and dense Tempest Kicks, CP0 believes that even the most powerful swordsman like Wood would not be able to escape unscathed.

Wood was able to hold out for so long because they wanted to capture him alive to give the Celestial Dragons an explanation.

However, seeing the obvious changes in Wood, the cautious CP0, in order to prevent further complications, has now taken drastic measures.

However, to his surprise, faced with such a dense and closely spaced series of storm kicks, the previously dying Wood now moved with the ease of a butterfly, darting through the dense storm kicks with minimal movement.

Even when the CP0 was momentarily distracted by the scene before him, Wood had already passed through the multiple shockwaves of the Storm Kick and appeared in front of him.

Seeing the blade coming straight at him, the intense sense of crisis finally made the CP0 member react, and he used "Armament Haki" to cover his arm and complete a defensive maneuver.

The blue crescent moon slash grew larger as it faced the wind, colliding with the two black arms that seemed to have turned into metal. Not only did it spark a lot of sparks, but it also sent the CP0 flying a hundred meters away!

Wood wanted to give chase, but the slash had aggravated his wounds, and a sharp pain made him wince.

And after that attack, Wood felt an intense sense of fatigue wash over him instantly.

If they stay, even if they manage to defeat these two CP0s by chance, they will be overwhelmed by the others, and there is no guarantee that other CP0s won't appear later.

So after only a few moments of hesitation, Wood looked at the two CP0s he had knocked away, as well as the group of CP members around him who were still in a daze, and without hesitation, he chose a direction and fled.

Only Wood himself knew about the changes that had just occurred to his body. His physical condition had not changed, and his stamina and injuries were the same as before, almost to the point of exhaustion.

As for why he was able to suddenly unleash his full power and even turn against two CP0s with a single attack, it was entirely because at the last moment, Wood's "Observation Haki" had advanced to a higher level!

Wood first awakened his "Observation Haki" during an attack by a group of wild boars in the back mountains.

Previously, he faced an attack from numerous CP members, and then fought two CP0 powerhouses against one against two, putting him on the verge of death. Coupled with Wood's desire to become stronger and survive, his "Observation Haki" underwent a transformation!

Combat can help people grow; there is great terror in the face of life and death, but there is also great opportunity.

Previously, Wood used his full Observation Haki to deal with the siege of many CP members. Although he got quite a few scratches, it also rapidly improved his Observation Haki level.

Until the final glimpse of Ein and Gion's faces, the desire to become stronger and survive prompted him to break through the final shackles, and made Wood's Observation Haki "see" even more clearly!

Ordinary Observation Haki is the ability to predict and sense danger. As for the types, Wood previously mentioned that there are roughly four types.

However, what Wood found somewhat strange was that his Observation Haki after his transformation seemed to be different from the four known types of Observation Haki in the One Piece world.

If I had to describe it by feeling, Wood's Observation Haki seems to have the effect of instantly increasing dynamic vision. Extremely fast movements would be slowed down exponentially in the face of his Observation Haki.

Furthermore, Wood can quickly discern the flaws in his opponent's moves in this extremely short time, somewhat like combat intuition, or perhaps a weakness perception...

Chapter 71 Wood Falls from the Red Line

"Boss Tiger, if you go back now to help that brother, you'll just be throwing your life away. There's no other way here except to trust him."

“That’s right, Tiger. When we were escaping here, we encountered quite a few pursuers.”

Now that you're planning to go back alone to meet up with that brother, you're completely letting him down.

On the edge of the Red Line, a large, luxurious ship carrying a large number of merfolk and slaves who had escaped from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise has gathered.

They hadn't truly escaped until they had completely fled the Red Earth region, and everyone on the ship wore worried expressions.

Because they were quite aware that the longer the situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Don't forget, although the Marine Headquarters is some distance from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, it only takes a short time to reach it by using the Marine-only passage.

Although they have now left Mary Geoise, they are not completely out of danger. If they are surrounded by the Navy Headquarters' warships, they could still be buried at sea!

As for why the ship hasn't set sail yet, there's a reason: the fish people won't allow it.

The ship was mostly filled with merfolk, and to the other races here, the merfolk who rescued them were considered benefactors.

The fishmen all listened to Fisher Tiger, who said they should wait for their benefactor, so naturally no one dared to risk their lives and set sail first.

The waiting time passed slowly, dawn was approaching, and even a dazzling glimmer of light began to appear on the sea.

Aaron believed they couldn't wait any longer, otherwise none of them would be able to leave once the navy arrived, so he tried to persuade Tiger.

Tiger looked at his many compatriots and the rescued slaves on the ship, then looked up at the peak of the Red Line, and finally decided to let Jinbe and the others leave first, while he would go to meet Wood.

As Aron said, once the Navy Headquarters ships arrive, given their current exhausted state, there is absolutely no chance of escape.

The longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be for everyone.

However, Tiger couldn't bear to leave Wood, who had saved them earlier, to die.

Torn between the two options, Tiger had no choice but to make this decision: let Jinbe take the others and leave first, while he stayed behind to meet up with Wood.

If Wood were still alive, even without a ship, it wouldn't be difficult for fishmen of their level to escape.

If Wood were to die, Tiger would fight alongside him and die in the same place, as a way of repaying the man's life-saving grace.

Jinbe and Arlong were naturally vehemently opposed to Tiger's decision, since Tiger was both their idol and a hero of Fish-Man Island.

If there were any hope of rescuing Wood, they would naturally be willing to try, but going back now would undoubtedly be pure suicide.

Since a murloc hero has already sacrificed himself, we should live up to his sacrifice and strive to survive.

Unfortunately, no matter how reasonable and well-founded Jinbe and Arlong's arguments were, they had no effect on Tiger, who prioritized loyalty above all else.

After feigning being persuaded, Tiger took the opportunity to knock down Jinbe and Arlong, and threw them onto the ship. Then, on his leader's orders, he commanded the fishmen on the ship to set sail.

Without Jinbe and Arlong, who dared to challenge Tiger, the other fishmen, intimidated by Tiger's authority, could only tearfully and grit their teeth as they announced their departure.

After watching the ships gradually sail away into the dawn light, Tiger looked at the towering red earth and decided to climb up again!

Tiger never betrays his compatriots, nor does he abandon his benefactors!

With his fellow countrymen having already left safely, he had nothing left to worry about.

Just as Tiger braced his exhausted body and began climbing the Red Line again, a figure suddenly plummeted from above, brushing past Tiger as he climbed up, and fell directly into the sea.

In order to escape the pursuit, Wood traveled at full speed after knocking away two CP0s, and soon arrived at the place where Tiger and the others had left.

The rope ladder had been lowered, which meant that Tiger and the others had left, and Wood breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing the large group of pursuers behind him, Wood jumped off the Red Line...

For Wood, who had mastered "moonwalk," climbing slowly with a rope ladder would be a fool's choice.

However, Wood, who jumped off the Red Earth, overestimated his remaining strength and ignored his injuries.

As a skill that requires superhuman physical abilities to master, "Moonwalk" naturally consumes a lot of physical strength when used.

Given the immense height of the Red Line and the fact that Wood's injuries had already reached their limit, he ultimately succumbed to exhaustion and the onset of his injuries while suspended in the air, approximately tens of meters above the sea, and fell into a coma.

Falling into the sea from a height of tens of meters could be fatal for an ordinary person.

But this is the pirate era, and common sense has no meaning here. Besides, years of training have made Wood's physique far stronger than that of ordinary people.

The salty seawater entered Wood's lungs through his mouth and nose, instantly waking him up.

As a Marine who is not a Devil Fruit user, Wood naturally possesses a fairly high level of swimming skills.

However, when Wood tried to move his limbs, he found that his body could no longer muster any strength. A strong sense of fatigue overwhelmed him, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

"If I had known I would die like this, I would have preferred to die in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

"A swordsman drowning? That's such a pathetic way to die. It's a disgrace to the transmigrated army."

Through his blurring vision, Wood could see a red figure swimming rapidly towards him. However, Wood no longer had the energy to analyze what kind of creature it was. He slowly closed his eyes, and his limp body began to sink...

Tiger, who had only climbed a few dozen meters up the red earth, saw a figure fall from above. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Tiger recognized the person as his former swordsman brother.

So when he saw Wood fall into the sea, Tiger jumped into the sea from a height of several dozen meters on the Red Line without the slightest hesitation.

Because of the seawater washing away the paint on Wood's skin, the camouflage fins and other parts used for disguise also fell off at this moment.

Tiger looked at the human boy in his arms. Although his expression was full of doubt, he still took Wood to the surface of the sea to catch his breath, and then swam away from this place of trouble at an extremely fast speed!

Chapter 72 The Group with the Bounty

The CP organization that was pursuing Wood arrived almost immediately after he fell into the sea.

For CP members who can use "Moonwalk", even the cliffs of the Red Line are no obstacle.

However, they soon discovered that although a rope ladder was hanging on the cliff, Wood had long since disappeared.

The Red Line was surrounded by the sea, leaving no possibility of escape. Then, looking at the large amount of bloodstains left on the sea, the two CP0 members immediately concluded that Wood had finally chosen to jump off the Red Line when he had nowhere else to go.

The summit of the Red Line is ten thousand meters high, and it is no exaggeration to call it a true chasm. Even if the opponent is a fishman, jumping off from this height will almost certainly mean certain death.

However, the Celestial Dragons would certainly not be satisfied with such an answer.

Therefore, the two CP0s could only order their subordinates to search the surrounding area, even if Wood was dead, they had to find his body!

Although they knew that with the ocean currents moving so fast, finding Wood wouldn't be easy, and besides, the smell of blood would attract sea monsters, it wasn't impossible that his body had already been eaten by some sea monsters...

The next day, the entire ocean trembled!

What happened in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise could never be concealed; it spread rapidly across the entire ocean at an extremely fast pace.

The news agency quickly learned the whole story through various channels and, through Newsbird, immediately spread this major news to every corner of the ocean.

The fire spread to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, freeing many Celestial Dragon slaves, and two World Nobles, Celestial Dragons, died in the chaos!

Chaos erupted in Mary Geoise, and Celestial Dragons perished. This major news is comparable to the execution of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, a few years ago.

Undoubtedly, the entire maritime power also remembered several names because of this big news.

Fisher Tiger, a fish-man, was one of the ringleaders of the Mary Geoise incident and has a bounty of 350 million Berries!
