Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

With a light laugh, the mad owl's body transformed into lightning and vanished from the spot.

At this moment, in the center of the town, the surviving townspeople emerged from their hiding places and gathered in the square to bandage each other's wounds.

Everyone was still shaken; who could have imagined that this unassuming island town would encounter such a vicious and ruthless pirate?

Not only did they steal their valuables, but they also set the town on fire, just for their own pleasure, leaving them no way out.

Fortunately, Horwell Town had good luck today, as the entire Bloodhorn Pirates were wiped out by one person.

After a while, as her emotions calmed down, sobs gradually began to rise.

Just as the crying grew louder and the atmosphere became more and more sorrowful, a thunderous roar accompanied the appearance of the Mad Owl.

The slightly relaxed atmosphere instantly fell silent.

The townspeople, ravaged by the pirates, looked at the mad owl with a mixture of awe and fear.

After all, at this moment, Kuang Xiao was dressed in rags and had a fierce appearance; he didn't look like a pure and good person at all.

Moreover, with just a few words, he had caused the well-behaved Snow to flee in terror and disarray, further solidifying his image as a bully in everyone's eyes.

But the tyrant didn't care about any of that. After reading the mind, he was only slightly surprised by CP0's efficiency.

After all, he had only been on the island for a short time, and the CP0 bookmarkers had already implanted other perceptions into the minds of all the villagers.

Shaking his head, no longer wanting to think about these trivial matters, Kuang Xiao walked up to the townspeople and calmly asked them.

"Where are the clothing stores in this town?"

Hearing Kuang Xiao's relatively calm question, the hundred or so townspeople, whose hearts were pounding with tension, were all momentarily stunned.

Seeing that this person wasn't as ruthless as the Bloodhorn Pirates, my tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Sir, my family owns a clothing store. We have all kinds of new and old styles; your satisfaction is guaranteed!"

Seeing that the other colleagues dared not show themselves, fearing that the powerful figure before them might become angry again.

An old clothing store owner, his neck stiffened, swallowed nervously, stood up shakily, and respectfully addressed the madman.

"Okay, take me there."

The three-meter-tall tyrant walked up to the "short" but kind and bold old man and patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

"Sir, thank you so much for saving our town!"

"Heroes as kind as you are so rare, so great!"

The old shop owner, who felt that even the mad owl wasn't that ruthless, mustered his courage and cautiously offered a compliment.

"Ha, hero, what a load of bull."

The old shopkeeper's words only reminded Kuangxiao of Garp, a man whose story he found difficult to describe.

His previously calm expression instantly darkened.

Realizing that his flattery had backfired, the old shopkeeper immediately shut his mouth and dared not utter another word.

Before long, he led the madman to his own shop.

"The renovation is quite nice. Bring out the clothes I can wear."

Entering this not-so-luxurious but cozy clothing store, Kuang Xiao sat down at a half-ruined table, placed the wooden crate on it, and casually remarked.

Without saying a word, the old shop owner went straight into the warehouse.

As for the shop, although there were indeed a few sets of clothes that Mad Owl could wear, the quantity was too small, and they had already been ruined by the pirates.

Kuang Xiao spotted the newspaper rack on the side, his eyes lit up, and he casually pulled out a recent newspaper.

World Economic News

Breaking News! Huge Headline!

Red-Haired Shanks ascends to the rank of Yonko! Could the new world order be completely overturned?!

The moment it caught his eye, the headline of the biggest news story immediately drew the attention of the tycoon.

"Has it come to this already? Yes, eighteen years!"

As Mad Owl sighed, he continued reading, but apart from Shanks becoming one of the Four Emperors, the reports were all unimportant.

"The newspaper from a week ago, I was wondering why only Aokiji was watching me, everyone else was on guard against Shanks."

"But I guess they didn't expect me to be able to break through the ice."

"It means that I was too tired when I returned to the atrium last time, which caused the change in my heart rate to be detected by the monitor."

"Otherwise, even Aokiji and the Seastone chains wouldn't have appeared."

I casually put the newspaper back on the magazine rack, and then I saw the old shop owner struggling to pull over more than ten large clothes hangers.

"Sir, all the suitable clothes are here. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like?"

Although there were wheels under the clothes hanger, he was getting old, and even a little exercise left him breathless.

"This one will do."

After glancing at the clothes for a few moments, Kuang Xiao quickly selected one and then carried the heavy garment into the fitting room.

It only took about two minutes in total.

Having shed his tattered clothes, the tyrant, now looking even more imposing in his new attire, emerged from the fitting room.

A tight-fitting black short-sleeved shirt outlined the lines of his muscular physique.

He wore a pair of arm armors that covered his arms from his elbows down to the backs of his hands.

The fingerless gloves on his hands had four metal nails added to the knuckles.

The lower body was adorned with two leather belts, one wide and one narrow, tied around the waist and connected by a roughly diamond-shaped buckle.

Further down, the slightly loose trousers were covered by a pair of shiny black leg armors that concealed the calves.

Most striking are a pair of equally glossy and heavy metal shoulder armors with a few short spikes, followed by a jagged black cloak.

Kuang Xiao walked to the largest mirror in the store, scratched his half-length black hair, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Tell me, how much?"

"Sir, you are joking. You saved us from the pirates, how could I possibly accept your money?"

The old shop owner, who had just caught his breath, was startled.

Don't be surprised if the person in front of you is truly your savior!

Even if they are not saviors, but villains looking for an excuse to cause trouble, they would be even less likely to ask for a fee!

I asked, "How much?"

Kuang Xiao looked at the old shop owner and said in an unquestionable tone.

"M-Sir, this outfit, though not fancy in style, is made of excellent fabric and comes with some equipment. The total cost is... 80,000 Berries!"

Indeed, as the old shop owner said, the fabric of this garment is very comfortable, wear-resistant, and durable, and even the metal accessories, which are considered protective gear, are made of high-quality materials.

Although for Mad Owl, this outfit was more about aesthetics than practicality, and it wouldn't last long in a battle, 80,000 Berries was really not expensive.

"Okay, I'll find someone to pay."

"Come on over." Before the old shop owner could even ask a question, Kuang Xiao said to the shop entrance.

Then, the old shop owner subconsciously turned his head in the direction that Kuang Xiao was looking.

Then they saw a door being pushed open by the air.

In the pale green alternate dimension behind the door, the usually obedient and gentle Snow Snow, now with a cold expression, walked out with a tall woman.

"Telley..."

Before the tall woman could finish using the honorific, she instantly changed her address under the icy gaze of the madman.

"Lord Madman, please punish your subordinate for his previous disrespect!"
