Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

As he spoke, facing Li Mingyuan who was charging straight at him, the bandit Dick went head-to-head with him.

Compared to the two unarmed Li Mingyuan carrying two inexplicable ropes behind him, his large sword gave him a greater advantage in attack range. If the two were to collide head-on at this speed, his sword would undoubtedly strike the other's head first.

In any case, I have no reason to back down!

The bandit Dick firmly believed this.

But just as he charged forward with his broadsword, he seemed to see, for a fleeting moment, the tomoe in the opponent's eerie red eyes shift slightly...

Is it just an illusion?

"Drink it all!"

As the bandit Dick roared, he suddenly swung his broadsword toward Li Mingyuan's neck.

Just as he had expected, his broadsword's attack range was much greater than his opponent's.

Under his watchful eye, his broadsword indeed struck the opponent's head squarely before he could strike.

Upon seeing this, the bandit Dick's face lit up with wild joy.

"It's a success!"

Watching Li Mingyuan's head spin in mid-air, finally rolling a few times before landing on the ground with a thud.

The bandit Dick laughed as he put down his knife and turned to look behind him.

"Hahaha! My little minions, did you see that?!"

"I've avenged my brother!"

He stared at the bandits, preparing to say a few words.

But for some reason, he suddenly noticed that the other bandits were looking at him with terrified eyes.

It was as if he had done something extremely absurd.

"W-What's wrong with you guys? Why are you staring at me like that?!"

Before the bandit Dick could react further...

Immediately afterwards, he felt the sound of running behind him.

He turned around hastily and was shocked to find that the man he had just beheaded was now rapidly approaching him, still clutching his ridiculous rope in his hands.

What's going on?

Was I just dreaming?

Without time to think, the bandit Dick gritted his teeth and gripped his broadsword tightly.

Regardless of whether what happened just now was an illusion or something else, since the man in front of him was still there, all he had to do was swing his broadsword and kill him again.

There's nothing to panic about!

As the bandit Dick recalled the feeling of chopping off Li Mingyuan's head, a sinister smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Drink it all!"

He roared again, his muscles tensing, and swung his broadsword forward once more.

Carrying the feeling from last time, bandit Dick even felt that he performed even better this time.

He seemed to be one with the broadsword, the sword being an extension of his arm; wherever his arm swung, the broadsword slashed in the same direction.

Faster and more efficient!

With a flash of light, his blade slashed straight at Li Mingyuan's neck.

"Hahahaha! You idiot, I already told you you're after my head..."

"What!?"

Before the bandit Dick could finish speaking, a shocking scene unfolded.

Because his broadsword actually passed right through the man in front of him, missing its target entirely!

"—This is impossible!"

The bandit Dick blurted out.

However, just like his brother before him, due to the unexpected force, the bandit Dick staggered.

Because he exerted too much force, he was even more disheveled than his brother, and the broadsword slipped from his hand and struck the nearby fence.

And so, the bandit Dick continued to stride forward relentlessly.

But his knife missed its mark, and the rope in the other person's hand was still tightly gripped!

As Li Mingyuan brushed past the other party, he raised his hands and tightened the rope in his hands.

"Hmm!"

The tangled ropes instantly bound the burly man who was still moving forward due to inertia.

Caught off guard by the sudden impact, the bandit Dick was even choked by the rope, which caused a loud bang.

Boom! !

The bandit Dick knelt down, momentarily unable to breathe, and his eyes rolled back.

Only then did Li Mingyuan turn around and look at the bandit Dick.

He slowly walked to the other man's side, tightened the rope with both hands, and firmly bound the bandit with a bounty of 1000 million Berries.

"And that concludes the discussion."

Li Mingyuan looked at the bandits crawling on the ground at his feet with an appreciative expression.

"For a bandit to dare charge straight at me, his courage is commendable."

"...No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain before my eyes."

As Li Mingyuan spoke, the large sword that had been flung away and struck the fence gradually disappeared into a phantom.

Instead, as the bandit Dick looked back at the spot where the bandits were standing, a large sword gradually emerged from the soil.

Of everyone present, except for him, no one knew what the bandit leader had just done.

From the perspective of others, when faced with Li Mingyuan's surprise attack, it was the bandit Dick who threw away his broadsword in full view of everyone, and he himself, unarmed, suddenly charged forward in a posture of wielding the broadsword, and finally crashed head-on into the enemy's ropes.

Everything was so unbelievable.

And this is the second ability of the Sharingan besides its ability to perceive.

— Illusion.

"I didn't expect it to succeed on the first try."

"Not bad."

Li Mingyuan was still savoring the battle he had just fought.

So far, apart from the Mangekyou Sharingan, he has tried all the basic rewards that come with the system. He feels good using the Sharingan's perception and genjutsu, including chakra and taijutsu enhancements.

Even he himself did not expect that his attempt at using the Sharingan's genjutsu would be successful on the first try.

He originally thought it would fail to be released, just like the Rasengan.

After all, illusions are essentially achieved by disrupting the opponent's chakra. Theoretically, they are ineffective against beings without chakra, let alone the Pirate King, a native who has no concept of chakra.

However, in the Naruto world, chakra is a product of the mixture and refinement of physical and mental energy.

In the manga, there are many scenes in the story where genjutsu works on ordinary people or animals that do not cultivate chakra. So, in theory, genjutsu can work on any object with both spirit and body.

Now that Li Mingyuan has actually tested it in One Piece, he has successfully confirmed that it is indeed effective.

However, the effect is much weaker than in the Naruto world.

"Whether the successful release was due to the Sharingan being a system reward, or simply because genjutsu itself can work on beings with mental and physical energy, the mere fact that genjutsu was successfully released in different worlds is enough to excite people."

"However, although the release was successful, I've currently used up nearly four-fifths of my chakra, and it only puts these common fodder into a hallucination for a fleeting moment. With this amount of energy, I could use my Mangekyou Sharingan techniques until I'm almost blind. This is a really big problem right now."

Until a solution is found, the casting of illusions must be approached with extreme caution.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyuan frowned slightly.

Various solutions to reduce the consumption of illusion techniques or increase chakra levels kept flashing through his mind, but none of them seemed to be something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

Just as Li Mingyuan stood there lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to the fearful gazes of the bandits, he was lost in thought.

"You... could it be that you're a Devil Fruit user...?"

The bandit Dick, who was being dragged along by Li Mingyuan's ropes, managed to lift his head at some point and looked at Li Mingyuan, panting, "A man like you actually associates with these nameless bounty hunters in the East China Sea..."

"Um?"

Distracted from his train of thought, Li Mingyuan subconsciously turned his head to look at his feet.

When he saw that it was the bandits, who were tightly bound, who were speaking, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"That's surprising, you still have the energy to speak?"

Judging from the bandit's muscular physique, Li Mingyuan guessed that the other party was probably a standard Pirate King with a robust build.

However, when he clashed with the bandits just now, he had anticipated this and used his chakra to pull the rope with all his might. Moreover, the bandits were charging forward and crashed head-on into the rope.

If he were facing a normal enemy, with his skills, he could easily crush their organs. This is just a small-time bandit, yet he can still speak.

It's so hard to kill a mere 1000 million Berries of trash.

No wonder those monsters on the Grand Line can do repeated sit-ups and still survive.

"But you're wrong about that."

"First, I'm not a Devil Fruit user. Second, when did I ever say I was on the same side as these two guys lying on the ground?"

Li Mingyuan shook his head and said calmly to the bandit Dick, "Let's make this clear beforehand. When you asked me who I was just now, I didn't even have a chance to answer. You just assumed I was one of these two's accomplices and launched the sneak attack."

"I only stepped forward to help the villagers from the beginning. I only thought of helping them because I saw these two young men being beaten badly for standing up for the villagers."

"I don't know either of them at all. In fact, I don't know anyone here at all."

Upon hearing this, the bandit Dick widened his eyes in disbelief.

"What? Villagers...? It's all because of some villagers...?"

"I thought you were a bounty hunter after me, that's why I fought back so desperately... Hahahaha!!"

Suddenly, the bandit Dick couldn't help but laugh, and his laughter grew louder and louder.

"So I was defeated because of something so trivial!... If I had known your target was just the villagers, I would have... "

Before the bandit Dick could finish speaking, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his neck tilted to the side, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

I don't know if he collapsed from anger or if the impact on his internal organs is only now manifesting.

Maybe it's both.

Seeing this, Li Mingyuan stepped forward to check the bandit's breathing. After confirming that the bandit was simply unconscious, he could only chuckle twice and said nothing more.

at the same time.

Not far away, villagers were still standing outside the fence.

Unlike Li Mingyuan, who took the outcome of the battle for granted and was not surprised at all for defeating a bandit with 1000 million Berries, he also had the leisure to chat with him.

The villagers who witnessed the entire battle were completely terrified.

Another instant sell-out!

Moreover, he captured them alive! He captured a bandit worth 1000 million Berries in one fell swoop!

In the East China Sea, they had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.

Moreover, during the battle, the bandit Dick's bizarre behavior, as if he were possessed, terrified the villagers, who couldn't understand what was happening at all.

At this moment, upon hearing the bandit Dick's words about a "Devil Fruit user" and Li Mingyuan's denial, the villagers immediately came to their senses.

"Knock them down!"

"Mountain bandit Dick has been defeated!!!"

Cheers instantly filled the entire stadium.

In their excitement, some villagers grabbed their weapons and charged at the remaining bandits who were still standing there dumbfounded.

After all, even the bandit leader was instantly killed, so the remaining bandits were nothing to fear.

In the end, do they really dare to resist?

Unlike the two bounty hunters who had just been knocked to the ground, this newly appeared man was as strong as a monster; even if he resisted, he would only be knocked to the ground.

At this moment, the village could effectively consider the bandit incident resolved.

At the same time, besides the villagers who had already started settling accounts with the bandits and trying to get their belongings back, there were also villagers who looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing Li Mingyuan's conversation.

To be honest, not only did the bandits think that Li Mingyuan was with the two bounty hunters, but even the villagers thought that he had come to help the bounty hunters. Therefore, no one had any doubts about the bandits' direct attack.

But looking back now, it does seem a bit strange.

"Huh? Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have said that he was with those two bounty hunters."

"Speaking of which, why do I feel like I've seen this man somewhere before...?"

Just as the villagers were discussing it.

"Ah! I remember now!!"

Suddenly, a villager slapped his forehead and shouted.

He opened his eyes wide, looking around excitedly. "Hey, do you guys remember that weirdo we found on the beach three days ago, the one we moved to the farmyard!"

"Three days ago? On the coast?"

Upon hearing this, some villagers looked thoughtful, then suddenly realized what was happening.

"Could it be?!"

"Yes! Look closely, isn't he wearing the same clothes you washed?"

In just a short while, the villagers had basically figured out Li Mingyuan's background.

After Li Mingyuan's identity was confirmed, the villagers' discussion became even more enthusiastic, and their fear of the unknown figure was greatly reduced.

"No wonder they came to the rescue..."

"So, we really did do him a favor?"

Perhaps having confirmed that Li Mingyuan was not in danger and was on their side, many villagers gathered around him, and some even approached him, mustering the courage to speak to him and ask questions.

Li Mingyuan became the subject of discussion, but he wasn't annoyed. He quietly gathered information and listened to what had happened before he lost consciousness, while watching their discussion with a smile. He would wave his hand from time to time when his name was mentioned.

In this way, Li Mingyuan naturally integrated into the villagers' understanding of him.

Starting with the arrest of the bandits, this small village became his first foothold in the world of One Piece.
