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

Joining Chapter 331

Kuzan sat on the sofa feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if countless sharp needles were pricking his body.

"None of that matters. The so-called world government is nothing more than a game of make-believe played on your planet."

Weiss leaned back on the sofa, his tone full of disdain, completely disregarding the World Government.

All that the World Government controls is child's play in the grand scheme of the universe, like children playing house – seemingly serious, but actually naive and laughable.

"That's really bold."

Kuzan couldn't help but mutter to himself, genuinely taken aback by Wes's arrogant words.

Having once been a member of the Navy, he was well aware of the World Government's power and its absolute authority in the world. However, Weiss's contemptuous evaluation of him was hard for him to accept, yet he had no way to refute it.

He had indeed never witnessed the vastness of the universe that Wes described. In comparison, they were perhaps like frogs in a well, with far too narrow a perspective.

Kuzan knew he was now in a difficult situation.

"What interests me most about your world is Devil Fruits." Wes suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Kuzan, and made his demands: "Your first task is to produce 10 Devil Fruits, or capture 10 Devil Fruit users."

"Oh my, is this a pledge of allegiance?" Kuzan asked with a wry smile.

Wes simply nodded: "Whatever method you use, whether you go after the Marines or pirates, it's up to you."

After saying this, Wes's figure gradually became ethereal, like a bubble, slowly dissipating, leaving only his undeniable voice echoing in the room: "You only have 7 days."

At this moment, only Kuzan, Cyrus, and Luo remained in the room, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Cyrus's face was so dark it could drip water. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "The World Government has already abandoned this country once, and now they want to take direct action?"

In his mind, he was already convinced that Kuzan was an undercover agent sent by the World Government. If Wes hadn't already given Kuzan his mission and made his stance clear, he probably would have already lost his temper and drawn his sword to fight Kuzan to the death.

"Calm down." Luo quickly reached out and patted Cyrus on the shoulder to reassure him. "He can't cause any trouble."

Luo had absolute trust in Wes. In his eyes, Wes' strength was unfathomable. No matter what tricks Kuzan had up his sleeve, they would be exposed in front of Wes and could not cause any big trouble.

Upon hearing Luo's words, Cyrus couldn't help but recall the magical world created by Wes.

In that world, the power that Wes displayed was beyond imagination, as if he possessed godlike abilities.

In his mind, Wes was no different from a god; if Wes wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do.

"So what if he's an undercover agent? Betraying Wes just makes him a guinea pig on the operating table."

Luo looked at Kuzan and said coldly.

"Is this your advice?"

Aokiji raised an eyebrow

"No, it's true."

After saying this, Luo ignored Kuzan and turned to leave the room with Cyrus, leaving Kuzan sitting there blankly, his face full of distress.

"This is going to be difficult."

Kuzan scratched his head helplessly.

Five days later, a major news story, like a bombshell, shocked the entire world. People were talking about it everywhere, their faces filled with astonishment.

Former Marine Admiral Aokiji betrayed the Navy and became a subordinate of one of the Four Emperors, Wes.

The news spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar wherever it reached, and Kuzan was thrust into the spotlight because of it.

Wes looked calmly at the 12 pirates frozen into ice blocks in front of him.

These pirates are no ordinary people; each of them has a bounty of over 100 million, making them quite famous on the high seas and a headache for the Navy.

"To be able to accurately locate these people, you must have used up a lot of your favors."

Wes tilted his head slightly, looked at Kuzan beside him, and asked softly.

Finding so many pirates with bounties over 100 million in just seven days is no easy task. Kuzan must have used a lot of his accumulated connections and favors to do so.

Kuzan remained silent upon hearing this, without saying anything more. However, the expression on his face revealed a hint of fatigue that was not easily detected, indicating that he had indeed expended a lot of effort to complete this task.

"You exceeded the task requirements, so here's a gift to congratulate you on joining us."

Wes smiled faintly as he spoke to Kuzan, his tone as relaxed and casual as if he were chatting with an old friend.

"You're too kind."

Kuzan was about to say a few polite words when, before he could finish speaking, an astonishing scene suddenly unfolded.

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

Suddenly, cracks began to appear on his left leg, which was made of ice. Then, like shattered glass, it broke into pieces with a "crash" and scattered all over the ground.

Kuzan was startled, thinking that Wes was about to attack him. His body instinctively assumed a defensive posture, and his domineering aura began to surge within him as he instinctively prepared to fight back.

However, Kuzan quickly suppressed this impulse.

He knew that if Wes really wanted to harm him, there would have been no need for him to offer a gift earlier. Moreover, given Wes's strength, if he really wanted to make a move, there was probably no point in him resisting.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt an itch at the site of his broken leg. The feeling was peculiar, as if countless tiny insects were gently crawling there.

Kuzan quickly rolled up his trouser leg to check, and what he saw left him speechless with shock.

And then, fleshy buds began to grow from the severed leg. The fleshy buds were pink and tender, and they were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, blood vessels extended out little by little, followed by bone, and slowly the leg became whole again. The muscles also gradually became firmer.

Before long, his left leg grew back completely. Kuzan tried stomping his foot and found that it was exactly the same as his original left leg, as if his leg had never been broken. The only difference was that the skin of the new left leg looked whiter and was different from the original skin color. However, this was not a problem at all compared to having a complete leg again.

Are you satisfied?

Weiss asked with a smile, looking at Kuzan's surprised expression.

"It's simply a miracle."

Kuzan finally came to his senses and said with amazement that he never expected that the gift Wes gave him would be such a magical "surprise".

Losing his left leg has always been a regret in his heart.

"Many Devil Fruits can achieve the same effect. From now on, you will follow Law's instructions."

As he spoke, Si waved his hand, and the 12 frozen pirates slowly rose up with him, then disappeared again as if they had merged into the air, leaving Kuzan standing there, still immersed in shock.

"Please give me your guidance."

Kuzan quickly came to his senses. He gathered his thoughts, extended his right hand towards Law with a friendly smile, and wanted to get closer to Law.

Koro completely ignored him, not even glancing at him, and turned to walk in another direction. His indifferent attitude left Kuzan awkwardly standing there, his hand outstretched in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or not. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly, thinking that he would probably have to put in a lot of effort to integrate into this team in the future.
