Rope looks at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
Edward Weevil was on his knees in front of Zephyr.
He wailed and begged for mercy "My mom is still waiting for me to come home for dinner. Please, Uncle, let me go, let me go!"
The voice sounded like a simple and stupid child. He looked like he had tears on his face. In a miserable state.
It didn't take Zephyr too long to deal with Edward Weevil.
Edward Weevil wasn't weak. But it depends on who you're comparing it to. Zephyr is the big prize in his prime. How could Edward Weevil possibly beat Zephyr?
But what would have happened in the original storyline was still presented to Rope's eyes.
According to the original storyline, Edward Weevil would kneel down and beg Zephyr for forgiveness, and Zephyr, in a moment of weakness, would let down his guard. The next step was to break his hand.
Zephyr looked at Edward Weevil, who was on his knees begging for mercy, and his heart, which was not to be killed, was once again flooded with sympathy. Once again, sympathy flooded in.
"Then I will..."
Zephyr was silent for a moment, just about to say the words to spare Edward Weevil.
"Old man Zephyr, are you mistaken about something?"
Rope spoke up and interrupted him.
Zephyr looked back at Rope.
Rope had a dark look on his face. Looking at Edward Weevil in front of him, he said, "This man is my enemy. It should be up to me to decide whether to kill or not."
Rope's words were not said very politely. It also struck fear into the heart of Edward Weevil, who was kneeling on the ground seeking a ray of hope for himself.
He could see. zephyr was ready to let himself go. But his hijacking didn't end there.
"I- I- I don't know you!"
Edward Weevil showed a frightened and puzzled expression.
He genuinely didn't remember doing anything to do with Rope.
Rope had a smile on his face, "It's okay, I know you."
Flames then rose around him. The flames rose, like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour people at any time.
Rope's body was burning with flames. Zephyr was shocked.
Rope's anger seemed really big.
So what should he do now? Pacify Rope and let Edward Weevil go, or ignore Rope and let him kill Edward Weevil?
It wasn't really a hard choice to make.
Although Zephyr doesn't know the truth about the feud between Rope and Edward Weevil.
But Rope had helped him avoid a tragedy today, something that was already certain.
His own students what color, his own heart of course know clearly. Edward Weevil killed all his students on the ship all, he is not even surprised.
If not for Rope's previous warning. I'm afraid that today's tragedy has already happened.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."
Practice sighed softly. Somewhat compassionately glanced at Edward Weevil. then shook his head and walked away from him, signaling that he had handed over the initiative to Rope.
Actually, seriously, the quest was done. And the system had also given an indication that the mission was complete. Because the original plot wouldn't happen again.
At least the students wouldn't die again.
As long as the students don't die. Even if Zephyr himself breaks his hand. I believe that he will not make the same choice as in the original plot.
After all, this person in front of him is Zephyr. After the death of his wife and child, the students are all he has.
Rope walked up slowly. He looked at Edward Weevil, who was begging for mercy, with a wary look in his eyes.
In fact, he was not sure whether he should kill this person or not. He didn't have any enmity with him.
The mission had also been completed. Then what should he do? Let him go! Or kill him.
Rope himself actually didn't know how he should choose. But when he saw the fierce light in Edward Weevil's eyes, and the pure hatred. He then knew what he should choose.
Only to see the beaten Edward Weevil in front of him get up violently and swing his fist towards Rope.
"Die!!!"
"Fire Fist!!!"
Rope gulped softly. Then similarly swung his fist.
Huge and scorching flames erupted from his fist. It wrapped Edward Weevil's entire body. From the flames came Edward Weevil's agonized howls. He struggled to get up, then jumped off the deck into the sea.
"You don't seem to have any intention of killing him?"
Zephyr said as she leaned on the mast and looked at Rope.
"Of course I did, it's just that he ran away."
Rope closed his fists in an extremely perfunctory response of.
Zephyr shook his head. Then said "You got what you wanted, when do you plan on leaving our ship?" Though Zephyr didn't really know exactly why Rope had come to his ship to wait for this battle-damaged version of White Beard, to remind himself to be wary of the man.
But the end was undoubtedly good. He had nothing but gratitude for Rope.
"Rushing me off in such a hurry? Not inviting me to stay two more days."
Rope said playfully.
Zephyr heard this, but made a face of serious thought. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Then you can stay here for two more days. I'll teach you a few things along the way. Look at those fights you have now. What kind of crap is all that?"
"Logia's ability users can't rely too much on their abilities. Physical arts, sword arts, and hegemony must all keep up, so that you can become a truly strong person."
"Not to mention your Flame-Flame Fruit. hasn't been reached yet. The degree of coming and going as easily as Glint-Glint Fruit."
"That Borsalino guy. Hit and run if you can, but you can run anytime you want. Could be a lot safer than you."
Zephyr said to Rope with a serious face. It felt like he was talking to one of his students, giving advice and an earful.
The corners of Rope's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was a bit surprised by this quick change in Zephyr's identity.
But glanced at the system, giving himself time to return. Slowly, he nodded.
"I'll leave in half a month then. Let's see how much you can teach me."
Rope said with a grin.
"Hmph!" Zephyr grunted softly, then chuckled, "Depends on how much you can learn."
So the two joked and laughed and headed towards the ship's training grounds.
Edward Weevil, who had fallen into the sea, was just ignored by the two.
It was bound to not end well for him. Meeting Rope's flames head on, although he jumped into the sea in time, he was bound to be badly burned even if he didn't die. Moreover, Rope had added heart fire to the flames. I'm afraid that his already low IQ will burn off a section again.
In other words, I'm afraid this fool will really become an idiot in the future. And I don't know if there's any fate to see him again.
Of course, this wasn't something Rope was going to think about right now. He's going to learn physical arts now.
Fourteen days later, Zephyr pushed open the door to Rope's cabin in the morning.
He saw the empty bed and a letter left on the table.
His heart felt empty, like he had lost something.
Rope was the most gifted student he'd ever taught. Better than the three that now roam the seas.
Zephyr had every intention of pulling Rope into the Navy. After all, someone this talented. If he didn't pull him into the Navy, was he still waiting for him to become a pirate?
Navy instructors didn't work like that.
As for the question of unknown origin. This problem is not really a big problem. The navy is so big that there are many admirals whose family is not clear, and even those who have reached high places.
The Navy is not just looking at ideas though. But what it valued more was the power within the navy rather than the person's own family power.
But in the end, all of this was just Zephyr's own thoughts, and how could Rope possibly stay here as a Navy man?
Zephyr opened the letter Rope had sent himself. There was only a simple sentence on it.
"I have other things on my mind. See you again sometime, Mr. Zephyr."
"Bastard!"
Just a simple sentence. Just the four words Zephyr-sensei. It was enough to satisfy Zephyr.
"Have a safe trip."
——————————
A white light flashed in front of his eyes. Rope was once again back under that Tree of Creation.
"Yo, are you boys back so early?"
Shiba Kugo sat under the tree, drinking wine from his gourd, looking at Rope's return and said with a smile.
"You're back here, aren't you still earlier than me? That world was so boring."
Rope looked at Shiba Kugo and let out a laugh before sitting down next to Shiba Kugo.
Shiba Kugo handed the gourd in his hand to Rope, then smiled and said, "It wasn't boring at all, that world was able to improve my own strength very quickly, and I went to the home planet of some kind of race in the main world that survives with soul bodies."
"How come you didn't spend more time there for the strength boosting?"
Rope asked, rather puzzled, as he took over the gourd.
"What's so great about boosting your strength? Any more boosting and I'll be assigned another job by the company, and the Savior's job is so easy, why don't I just keep doing it?"
Shiba Kugo smiled, a lazy expression on his face.
Rope took a sip from his gourd. Nodding, he exclaimed, "Good wine!"
However, he was also surprised for a moment by this brain circuit of Shiba Kugo's. After all, if you were a normal person, you would want to be as strong as possible. The stronger you are, the more power you have over your words. But Shiba Kugo didn't seem to think so. He seemed to just want to stay in his own acre of land.
"You seem to be really lazy."
Rope couldn't help but spit at.
Shiba Kugo looked at him and smiled, "What do you mean by lazy? I call it loving life, don't you understand little kid."
Rope gave him back a blank stare. Then took another sip from the gourd. Returns the gourd to Shiba Kugo.
Shiba Kugo pushed the gourd back and said, "Come on, you keep the drink. It's not like I have a shortage of wine there."
"Ha, then I'm welcome ha."
Rope didn't bother to be polite with Shiba Kugo and just took the gourd of wine.
"Feels like after going on a mission, you kid came back a lot more relaxed."
Shiba Kugo looked at Rope with a smirk.
"Suddenly it doesn't feel like there's anything to wonder about. Isn't that what life is all about? Not everyone is mean to themselves."
Rope said with some emotion, his mind recalling the time he spent with Zephyr, Ain and the others. Although it was only half a month. But one's gains could be really great.
"That's right, go back to loving life."
Shiba Kugo said to him with a smile.
"Have all those people of theirs not returned yet?"
"Some of them are back too! It's just that I'm waiting here alone. They all left first."
Shiba Kugo said blandly.
"But why are you staying here?"
Rope asked as he took another sip from his gourd before opening his mouth.
"Small matter ~ just hiding here for a while. Too many women at home is annoying."
"Huh? What the hell is too many wives?"
"It's not like Bleach is monogamous."
Shiba Kugo said in an unusually bland manner.
The corner of Rope's mouth twitched, Pokémon was monogamous. Then asked, "How do I get there?"
"Shout Return. and Tree of Creation will send you back."
Rope nodded toward Shiba Kugo, then shouted, "Return."
Then, once again, white light flashed before his eyes, and the familiar feeling of spiraling into the sky and exploding in place reappeared.
A moment later. He looked at the stars in the sky. Once again, he felt the terror of weightlessness.
A gentle voice came to his ears.
Cynthia asked, "What's wrong? You don't look very well."
"You can hardly make someone who's been spinning in a tumble dryer for quite some time look good?"
Rope said with a slightly tired look on his face.
He looked up and looked away. Realizing that his Pokémon's were also looking around at him with concern.
And lifting his eyes was Cynthia.
She looked at Rope with a faint smile on her lips while in her eyes was a faint concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and it was quite a rewarding outing."
Rope managed to immediately put out a smile that relieved the crowd.
"Alright, whatever you say, now get some rest."
With that Cynthia moved Rope's head onto her lap while she sat up and wiped the cold sweat that was seeping from Rope's forehead.
Rope enjoyed Cynthia's lap pillow. A "I have no regrets in this life" type of smile appears on her face.
Rope looks at the starry sky above him. In his head, he remembers his experiences in the world of One Piece. Suddenly I felt that I was lucky to have traveled to the world of Pokémon.
Just like Shiba Kugo who was too lazy to get stronger. He probably likes this feeling more. This kind of world where you don't have to face the dilemma of surviving and killing all the time.
Compared to Pokémon, One Piece still had a more gory side.
"Ah Cynthia!" Rope suddenly spoke up.
"Eh? What's wrong?"
Cynthia asked, rubbing Rope's temples.
"I really like this world!"
Rope had a smile on her face, "This world is really great!"
"I love this world so much !!!!"
Rope yelled out somewhat nervously.
The people walking around first looked at Rope with the eyes of a psychopath, but after realizing that it was Rope and Cynthia, they all became very friendly.
After all, it was Professor Rope, he said he liked this world because something must have touched him.
