One Piece: God Killer

In the tunnel, four people sat in a circle around the "Heart of Light". It was said that they were sitting in a circle, but in fact it was more like Goodson, Sanders, and Judy sitting together, while the little girl who was saved by Goodson was sitting alone on one side. In the dark tunnel, the light emitted by the gems illuminated the faces of the four people, all of them solemn and worried.

"Damn it," Sanders' tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes. He punched the ground with his right fist, as if this could relieve his annoyance and unwillingness. "Such a tragedy is happening in our homeland, but we don't know. What happened and there’s nothing we can do!”

Gudsson and Judy also lowered their heads. This change happened so suddenly that the Philiniki people were not prepared at all. Not to mention young people like them, even the adults on the island rarely knew what happened.

"I, I might know something." The green-haired girl who had been following the three of them but had never spoken spoke timidly.

Only then did Judy pay attention to this inconspicuous girl with a very low sense of presence: "What's your name? Why do I never seem to see you on the island?"

"I, I..." The girl seemed to want to say something, but was frightened by Judy's forceful question and did not dare to speak. Instead, tears rolled crazily in her eyes.

Goodson stopped in front of Judy: "Look at you, you will scare this sister to tears." Then he squatted down, looked at the girl levelly, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, we are all good people."

"My name is Bessie." The girl obviously had a better impression of Goodson who had just saved her. With his encouragement, she was finally willing to speak.

She recounted her experience in a very low voice: "I was originally a resident of Shampoo Land, but I was captured by the Tianlong people and became a slave. Because I wanted to sneak away, I was caught by CP0, and I was going to be executed directly. But. Because the Tianlong people were going to hold a large-scale 'activity' - I later learned that they were going to hold a 'hunting' activity."

"Hunting?" Sanders shouted angrily. "Then what are they doing now?"

This is not hunting, it is clearly a massacre.

Bessie was so frightened that she shrank her head, and her originally low voice became even quieter: "It's hunting, but it's just a killing game, and we are the 'prey'."

The three of them all felt horrified after hearing Bessie's words. Living in Philiniki, they never dreamed that there would be people who enjoyed killing people in the world.

"Then what should we do?" Judy's voice trembled slightly, and her momentum was much weaker than before.

However, Gudsson, the oldest of the three, remained calm and continued to encourage Bessie to tell her story: "What happened next? How did you get to this woods."

"I was small and inconspicuous. When they were gathered and no one was watching, I quietly squeezed out from between the gaps in the cage. I found the key to open the handcuffs and escaped." Talking about his experience of escaping from the cage, Bei said Qian looked a little excited, "But, I was still discovered..."

"Isn't that still useless?" Sanders said blankly.

"Listen to me," Bessie bravely interrupted Sanders. "I heard their conversation when I escaped from the cage and sneaked out along the corner."

"I remember, there was a guy in white who said, 'The winner of this competition can get a precious Devil Fruit as a reward.' I once heard about Devil Fruit. As long as you eat it, you will be able to Can gain powerful power. I heard that they placed the Devil Fruit on the 'Altar of Confession' in the Dome Temple. If they can get the Devil Fruit, maybe they can turn around."

After saying so many words in one breath, Bessie seemed to have exhausted all her courage and strength, and immediately hugged her knees with her hands and lowered her head.

"But what should we do to get the Devil Fruit that Bessie mentioned?" Obviously, Sanders was very excited about the idea of ​​eating the Devil Fruit and gaining powerful power.

"There's no need to worry." Judy was obviously also very interested in Devil Fruit. She took out a drawing of the direction of the tunnel from her pocket, "This underground secret tunnel can lead directly from the underground to the 'Place of Confession'." Altar', we can sneak through the ground and catch them off guard!"

After Judy finished speaking, she and Sanders turned their attention to Goodson. Obviously, it was Gudsson who made the decision among the three at this time.

Gudsson hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

The plan is not foolproof, but what in this world is without risk? It's better to get the fruit and still be able to fight, than to hide in the tunnel and wait for death.

The four of them followed the twists and turns of the tunnel and soon arrived at the foot of the Altar of Confession.

According to the tunnel map in Judy's hand, the exit of the tunnel is not far from the side of the Altar of Confession. She quickly found the corresponding position of the mechanism. As long as she pressed it, she could open the exit to the ground.

"Are you open?" Even with Judy's bold personality, she was inevitably a little nervous at this time. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked.

Sanders nodded firmly and said, "Open!"

As Judy pressed the button on the side wall, the top of the tunnel slowly opened...

……

"I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm still scared." Sanders said with emotion, "I didn't expect that there were so many treasures on the 'Altar of Confession', but there was no one guarding them around."

Now that he recalled the situation at that time, he even felt a little incredible. At that time, there were not only devil fruits on the altar of confession, but also countless gold and silver treasures and several famous swords. Logically speaking, this is an extremely important location. But there is no one guarding such a place.

"We all got the devil fruits at that time," Sanders said. "After that, we retreated into the tunnel. In the next few days, we all stayed in the tunnel, only I was so hungry that I went outside to find something to eat at night."

"Then we found an opportunity and left Philiniki. We spent six years on a desert island before we chose to go to sea."

It sounds easy to say, but the situation at that time was far from that simple. Thanks to Bessie's dense fruits, they have a sufficient amount of wood and the ability to process it. Sanders' vocal fruit's ability to detect sounds over a wide range ensured that their operations were not exposed for a long time. And Gudsong's oar fruit became the source of power for ships...

It can be said that the successful escape of several people from Feliniki was absolutely indispensable with the help of luck.

After going to sea, the "Redeemer" pirate group made great progress, quickly established their own reputation, and obtained extremely high bounties. Even the World Government had the idea of ​​"recruiting" them as the Shichibukai - of course, provided they didn't know that the Redeemer Pirates came from Philiniki.

"Of course we won't accept that bullshit 'Shichibukai'!" Judy punched the table and the bowls and chopsticks almost jumped. "Destroy people's countries, kill their parents, and want others to treat them as dogs! Wishful thinking!"

"Shichibukai?" Profik's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name. He didn't expect that the World Government would start planning to form the Shichibukai so early.

The Redeemer Pirates are not interested in the Shichibukai, but that is not the case with Profik.

Eliminate bounties, plunder legally, occupy territory...

Compared with the "obligations" of the Shichibukai, the power they can enjoy is really great. After all, "forced recruitment" has not happened a few times except for the top war.

After thinking about it for a while, Profik said: "In that case, I have a proposal."
