Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

"Go to hell!!"

In his grief and rage, Joel raised his gun and fired wildly, and the other security team members who followed also fired at the pirate with the knife.

Bang bang bang!

Bullets rained down on the knife-wielding pirates, but the rate of fire and power of these ordinary firearms were hardly enough to inflict any effective damage on them.

The pirate with the knife chuckled, lifted a woman to defend himself, and quickly flipped over to hide against the wall of a nearby house.

Despite their intense anger, Joel and the other sheriffs were unable to bring themselves to shoot the townspeople.

The dangerous first volley of shots was thus neutralized by the knife-wielding pirate.

After Joel and his crew had used up their first round of bullets, the knife-wielding pirate emerged from behind the house wall with a wicked grin.

As for the woman he used as a human shield, her neck had already been cut open.

With their ammunition exhausted, Joel and his men fell into even greater despair. One of the security team members was so frightened by the sight before him that he fell to the ground.

"Stop it right now!!"

Joel's mind completely collapsed. Ignoring the difference in strength between the two sides, he raised his long sword and charged towards the pirate with the sword.

boom!

With a casual slash, the pirate with the sword cut Joel's sword in two, and the sharp blade struck Joel's chest, splattering out a large amount of blood.

With a swift kick, Joel crashed into a nearby house, smashing through the walls and being buried under a pile of broken wood, whereupon he fell silent.

At this point, the remaining security team members completely lost the will to resist and began to scatter and flee.

Upon seeing this, the pirate with the knife laughed heartily and did not rush to give chase.

He arrived at Irit Island by small boat ahead of time, not only to eliminate the town's only security force, but also because he was bored and wanted to find some amusement for himself.

For a small island like Irit Island, which didn't have anything special to offer and whose commerce wasn't thriving, their pirate crew originally had no intention of plundering it.

However, Captain Dylan suddenly got the urge to have some fun crushing the weaker crew members and give his newly recruited underlings a good workout.

He was bored staying on the ship, so he decided to go ashore and have some fun.

After calmly entering a house and searching it without finding anything of value, the knife-wielding pirate leisurely walked out.

However, on the streets of the small town, a robust and handsome young man appeared, staring at him with icy eyes.

He Nian arrived.

On his way there, he encountered some townspeople who had fled, and he led them and Edmund to a hiding place before heading to the town.

With that thought made up, He Nian slowly exhaled and assumed a fighting stance towards the sword-wielding pirate.

The sword-wielding pirate clearly didn't care about He Nian's provocation.

"What's going on? Are there really this many greenhorns here?" The sword-wielding pirate scratched his head dramatically, his tone menacing. "Then let me, Cyril, teach you what true cruelty on the high seas is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cyril bent down and rushed towards He Nian at lightning speed. The long sword he was wielding almost transformed into a chilling blade of light as it slashed towards He Nian!

He Nian remained completely calm and composed. His physical condition had reached a new level after being baptized by the previous hail of bullets.

Cyril's sword-wielding movements and the trajectory of the blade were all clearly visible in his eyes!

Step forward in a lunge position, turn your body to the side and tilt your head.

The cold blade reflected He Nian's calm, almost indifferent expression, brushed past the stray hairs on his forehead, and fell into empty space.

At the same time, his right fist, which had been gathering power, landed precisely on Cyril's abdomen.

Boom!

A powerful punch sent Cyril flying backward, his eyes rolling back and his face contorted in pain.

Boom!

The powerful impact carried Cyril, precisely shattering the stone pillars of a house a dozen meters away, before he finally tumbled and fell onto the corridor railing.

"Damn it..." Cyril struggled to his feet, his abdomen cramping, his face still contorted. "Damn it! That damned brat, I'll chop him into pieces and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks..."

"Pfft—"

Before Cyril could finish his harsh words, He Nian quickly caught up and kicked him in the head with his bizarre hairstyle.

Among the splattered blood was a gold tooth that gleamed.

He Nian was well aware of the amazing physical abilities of the characters in the One Piece world, so he did not give the other party time to catch his breath and recover.

Once they gained the upper hand, they unleashed a barrage of attacks that were so dense they were almost suffocating.

Head, heart, waist, Adam's apple... heavy punches, sweeping kicks, downward slashes... He Nian attacked without stopping, each strike using all his strength, unleashing all the various fist techniques he had shared with Cyril.

And in this process, he successfully entered the same state of selflessness he had when he was dodging bullets!

At this moment, He Nian, a man, connected all the various boxing techniques he had collected, some profound and some rudimentary.

Remove the superfluous elements, retain the concise, effective, and suitable methods of exertion, and gradually transform them into your own brand-new physical technique system.

boom!

With his final blow, He Nian landed a powerful uppercut on Cyril's chin, shattering Cyril's last breath of life.

"call--"

He Nian's fists were dripping blood, his chest heaved violently, and he had exhausted most of his strength, but his face showed excitement and satisfaction.

This method of rapidly improving one's strength in battle was truly fascinating to him.

However, He Nian did not lose his mind. He knew very well that the reason why he was able to improve his strength multiple times in such a short period of time was not only because of his previous hard physical training, but most importantly because the power of space sharing provided him with a solid foundation!

Subconsciously using the One-Man World Qi Refining Technique breathing method to recover her strength, He Nian bent down and picked up Cyril's sword.

He didn't know what level the sword in his hand was in the pirate world, but he had already experienced its sharpness in the previous battle.

That's enough for him right now.

He Nian gripped the knife, casually swung it a few times, and after getting used to the feel of it, turned his head to look towards the port.

At this point, there was no one left alive in the town except for him.

The flames from the surrounding houses overshadowed the cold moonlight, and the warm orange light softened the glare of the blood, but the somber atmosphere in the town continued to rise.

In the direction of the port, the pirate ship that we had seen earlier had already dropped its anchor.

A dozen or so small boats, laden with pirates, were approaching the town, bathed in moonlight.

With just one glance, He Nian was able to see through the strength levels of most of these pirates.

Apart from a few who were close to Cyril in strength, the rest were basically cannon fodder.

These few outstanding fighters, when facing He Nian wielding a knife, could barely last a few rounds.

But He Nian's mood did not relax in the slightest.

He sensed a dangerous gaze fixed on him from a distant pirate ship.

Pirate Captain Dylan.

It seems the other party has already discovered him.

He Nian took a deep breath; after this short rest, his strength had recovered to about 70-80%.

Haha, I'm finally experiencing the benefits of the One Piece world.

He Nian grinned, twirled his sword, and slowly walked towards the port, while simultaneously responding to Dylan on the pirate ship with a murderous gaze.

Almost there, just a little bit more. He could feel the hidden power within him about to break free!

Dylan was his whetstone!

In response to He Nian's provocation, Dylan on the pirate ship burst into laughter, startling many of the pirate soldiers who were moving forward to turn around and look.

"That arrogant brat, I'll deal with him myself!"

Amidst laughter, Dylan leaped off the pirate ship and landed precisely on a small, moving boat, knocking the three pirate soldiers off the boat into the sea.

At the same time, the momentum of the fall propelled the small boat rapidly toward the port.

"Ready to die, kid?!"
