The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 275 Red Heart

"Boss, are we really going to make a move? That guy's a superhuman!"

A skinny pirate tugged at the captain's sleeve, his eyes wide with terror, and large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

This group of pirates was following Wes furtively.

They moved cautiously, trying not to make a sound. Everyone looked tense, their muscles taut, and they gripped their weapons tightly.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just an ability user. We'll be rich after we pull this off."

The pirate captain gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

His eyes gleamed with an almost insane greed that burned away the last shred of reason he had left.

Wes leisurely arrived at the beach, and the spaceship slowly descended from the sky.

"???"

The pirates were stunned, their eyes wide open like saucers, their mouths agape enough to fit a fist.

These pirates, who had never seen much of the world, had never imagined that something so large could fly in the sky; it was completely beyond their comprehension.

"I remember now, he's the alien the World Economic Herald mentioned!!"

One of the pirates suddenly shouted, his voice becoming shrill with fear.

People are always filled with fear of the unknown.

Some of the pirates' legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes filled with a desire to escape.

"Don't go!" the captain roared, his face contorted with rage.

He suddenly drew his long sword from his waist, raised it high, and then swung it forcefully. A flash of cold light appeared, and a thick tree next to him snapped in two.

Under the pressure of his fierce gaze, the pirates dared not back down any longer. They gritted their teeth and moved step by step toward Wes, surrounding him completely.

"Hey, hand over the treasure and I'll spare your life!!" the captain shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice carrying a bluffing arrogance.

However, Wes merely glanced at him indifferently, like an adult looking at a child throwing a tantrum.

Wes ignored these foolish pirates and enveloped them all in a red light.

Their bodies began to gradually disintegrate.

Soon, they were transformed into the Philosopher's Stone.

Wess gently toyed with the red stone in his hand with his long, slender fingers.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the lush forest beside him, his voice deep and magnetic: "Having followed you for so long, aren't you coming out yet?"

There was not a trace of surprise in his tone.

First came a rustling sound in the woods, the leaves whispering.

The three people and the bear slowly emerged from the woods.

The person walking at the very front was particularly conspicuous.

He carried a three-meter-long broadsword on his shoulder, and wore a fluffy hat that looked very warm. Underneath the hat was a well-defined face with a small, neatly trimmed beard, and heavy dark circles around his eyes.

Beside him was a silly-looking polar bear, its snow-white fur as pure as the first snow of winter.

Wes recognized them instantly; they were the Heart Pirates.

The one leading the group was none other than Trafalgar D. Vaticro.

At this time, they had not yet set foot on the Grand Line, and their bounty was only a mere 4000 million Berries.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately adopted a cautious and wary posture.

Especially when Bepo saw Wes's gaze fall on it, its already round eyes widened even more instantly, filled with terror.

Like a frightened child, it immediately hid behind Luo, its massive body trying to curl up and hide itself. However, its conspicuous white fur and enormous size were not something that Luo's not-so-broad body could completely conceal.

"When did you find out?" Luo's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes fixed on Wes.

His face didn't show much fear, but his slightly clenched fists and tense muscles betrayed his inner tension.

"From the very beginning."

His gaze roamed brazenly over Luo's body.

In fact, he did have a strong interest in Law, or more precisely, he was very interested in Law's Op-Op Fruit ability.

Luo's senses were exceptionally sharp. Under Wes's almost tangible gaze, he felt as if he were standing naked in the freezing cold, the surrounding air cutting into his skin like sharp ice blades, and Wes was like an incomparably fierce beast, staring at him menacingly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

This feeling sent a chill down his spine, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, streaming down his cheeks and quickly soaking his clothes.

He suddenly drew the knife from his waist, the blade pointing directly at Wes, his knuckles turning white from the force of his grip.

This guy is terrifying!

Luo was secretly on guard. He knew that this seemingly ordinary man was definitely an extremely dangerous being.

"If you want to make a move, this is the perfect opportunity for me to witness the power of the Op-Op Fruit."

Wes stood there calmly, not regarding the Heart Pirates as a threat.

However, at this moment, Luo felt as if he were carrying a heavy burden, and he felt an endless pressure sweeping over him like a surging tide.

That pressure didn't come from external force, but from his deep-seated understanding of the disparity in strength between the two sides.

He could keenly sense that the mysterious man before him was like an insurmountable, towering mountain, while he himself was as insignificant as an ant in his presence.

"ROOM!" Law took a deep breath, shouted, and unleashed the power of the Op-Op Fruit.

A hemispherical space was created with him at the center.

This space seemed to be an independent world, and everything within it was under Luo's control; he was the ruler of this world.

Luo swiftly drew his long sword from his waist and shouted, "Cut!!"

As his words fell, a cold light flashed in the hemispherical space. It was the power generated by Luo's sword swing that slashed straight toward Wes.

This attack was a concentrated effort from Luo, who was looking forward to seeing his enemy split in two.

However, to Luo's great surprise, Wes was still standing there unharmed, his body intact, without any signs of being cut.

It was as if Luo's fierce attack was just a gentle breeze, causing no real damage to Wes.

Wes simply used magic to create an invisible shield around his body, easily blocking Law's slash.

"Too weak." Wes frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment in his voice.
