Chapter 1

East Blue, Beriot Island.

The life that was originally calm and peaceful was destroyed by a group of pirates. The island was full of fire, one screaming for help and cruel killings. The originally peaceful and peaceful village became a living hell on earth.

"Maki, run and leave me alone!"

One man, who was shot in the ankle, screamed for his beautiful young wife to flee as she fell gravely ill.

Maki cried, but refused to leave her husband.

Not far away, the trigger of the gun was pulled, and a shot hit the man's head.

The pirate who had just shot put the gun on his waist, looked at Maki, who was already stunned, with a gloomy smile in his eyes, and immediately rushed over...

At this time, in a shabby tile-roofed house in the east of the village, a man around 18 years old who was lying on the ground suddenly woke up, his eyes opened slowly but slightly disturbed as his head felt as heavy as lead.

Holding his head with his left hand, he looked at the simple furniture around him, his face very confused.

"What is this place? Wasn't I sitting in a chair drinking tea? But where is this? If I die, then this is heaven?"

Looking back, that wasn't true, with this shabby and run-down furniture and this awful smell, it couldn't be heaven.

His name is Kondo, he is a former warlord, he retired at the age of 75 to spend the rest of his time resting and spending time with his family, although like a normal grandpa, but his past before entering the military has been destroyed so no one knows, only few in his generation knew, because Kondo was once known as a Monster who lone wreaked havoc in world wars with only his sword.

"So am I alive again?"

"At least someone told me!"

Confused, he couldn't help but curse silently. At this time, it was late autumn, and there was a biting coldness on the ground. He supported the ground with both hands and got up with difficulty.

Then he saw not far in front of him was a sword whose blade didn't look sharp anymore.

"this..."

Kondo turned his gaze there, he saw a sword, maybe saw it wrongly, Kondo rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times, but the sword did not disappear.

"It is not lost, what era is this indeed? The people here still use swords" said Kondo who wondered while looking at the sword and a small grin appeared on his face because of nostalgia, Kondo stood up and took the broken sword.

As Kondo recalled his past memories when he was young, he realized his voice was different, he saw a small mirror shard nearby then he picked it up, when Kondo saw his appearance, he was shocked.

"Oi oi oi, are you kidding me? why did I return to my youth, and the beard I was proud of also disappeared, what is this?"

With long black hair that reached his eyebrows, eyes red as fire, Kondo was also now wearing a white shirt that was torn and black pants torn to shreds, although at first glance he looked like an ordinary 18 year old boy, but on his body he had many deep slash wounds. there was no way an adult would even have that many injuries.

"Even all my scars are there too, but the one on my forehead is gone, besides it doesn't matter if it's gone or not, the important thing is..."

Kondo who was looking at his appearance felt something was wrong, the broken shirt he was wearing, there was a slash wound on his upper left chest to the lower right abdomen.

'I have a feeling that I am already in a chaotic situation.'

Just as Kondo was thinking that, he suddenly heard screams of men and women, and lots of them.

Outside.

More than a dozen village men wielding simple weapons such as wooden sticks and shovels to face the ferocious pirates on the opposite side.

"Damn, do you guys know who I am? How dare you fight me? I've killed more people than the animals or fish you catch for your daily food!"

The leader of the pirates, a tall and fierce bald man, shouted at the people who still wanted to fight.

The leading man is a pirate captain, called Baron, known as "The Butcher", with a bounty of 2.3 million Berries.

"You bastard! Even the old and the children are not spared. We will fight you even if we die!"

More than a dozen villagers were furious at the cruel acts of the Pirates in front of them.

"Hahahaha!! You guys decided you idiots, All of you, kill them for me!"

The pirates under his command were ordered to fight or rather massacre these villagers.

Perhaps it was the will of this part of the villagers that made the Baron angry, and he ordered the other pirates to look elsewhere carefully and leave no one alive!

"Boss! Someone is still alive here!"

The wooden house door opened, and Kondo was found.

"Kill instantly!"

"Yes!"

The Captain Baron ordered, and several pirates with swords showed hideous expressions on their faces.

When Kondo saw this, there was no fear on his face. To him, this was like a walk in a park, with his youth full of blood, swords and corpses everywhere.

He was not afraid but rejoiced in his heart, he intended to fight these people because they deserved to be beaten, killing just for fun, when killing, there are people who deserve to be killed and there are also those who don't deserve to be killed, but they kill without indiscriminately, this really pissed Kondo off a bit.

Even though he had a sword in his hand, some of the pirates saw that he was only a teenage boy, so they didn't really care.

The corner of Kondo's mouth curved indistinctly and he charged at the person in front of him with the broken sword in his hand, the pirate in front of him just laughed stupidly and slashed at him.

"You really need to get spanked, brat!"

Almost subconsciously, he blocked the blade with his sword, quickly drew back the blade sharply, and swiftly slashed between the waist and stomach of several pirates.

One of his Kendo techniques, Remnant Heart with high concentration of the user, makes attacks that suit his movements, and issues swift slashes when it recognizes the enemy's weakness.

Only this time, several pirates were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

The pirates over there also saw the situation here.

At first, they thought that a stupid teenager with a broken sword could be killed like stepping on an ant.

"Damn brat!"

Even though the Baron was angry, he was a little surprised. There are still swordsmen in a broken village like this?

No matter what, he is just a naughty boy.

Several more pirates surrounded him.

Similar to the current situation, Kondo is still one person and one sword, slashing and slashing between several people. After a while, there are several more corpses around him.

"What a teenager!"

On the other hand, there were only a few villagers left to fight against the pirates.

Although they didn't know where these youths came from, they seemed to have been raised up by the current fighting spirit.

With the addition of Kondo, the Pirates, who had an overwhelming advantage, fell into a stalemate this time.

"Damn brat! Don't get in my way!"

The greatsword in Captain Baron's hand was already unsheathed, and he slashed towards Kondo head-on.

Kondo still uses the broken sword to fight, but when the blades collide, he feels that this broken sword can still last a few rounds, which shows that this sword still has power.

Besides, Kondo had just woken up a moment ago, and his head was a little dizzy.

'If that is the case, then make a quick decision.'

Thinking like this, he immediately jumped at the Baron and slashed at him, but the Baron dodged to the side with a stupid laugh, as the sword landed on the ground and slightly stuck in the ground, Kondo whose body was still in the air, made the sword a support in his hand, then kicked the Baron. which is next to it.

Even though his current physical strength was still lacking, but it was enough to catch the Baron off guard and make a gap wide open.

With a murderous aura appearing and enveloping his sword, he immediately took his sword back and swung his sword at the Baron's neck who didn't have time to react, with his head and body separated and blood splattered everywhere, indicating that the Baron was killed on the spot!

There are only a few pirates left. Witnessing that Kondo only used swords to kill their captain, they felt even more terrified.

Kondo saw the rest of the villagers who had been killed, he could only pray silently for the villagers he could not save.

Seeing the pirates shaking and sweat pouring like bullets and intending to run away, but unfortunately Kondo didn't intend to let them go, "The villagers of this village have been wiped out, which also means that you guys have to be wiped out too, brat."

With those words, Kondo's killing intent was released and the pirates who were planning to flee suddenly froze and some also fainted, as Kondo's killing intent was released, in the pirates' eyes, like an illusion, they could see Kondo sitting on top of pile of corpses and also under it also many corpses scattered.

"You must be kidding!"

"I can't move"

Said the pirates one by one, Kondo who saw them, didn't give them time to think, with his body almost at its limit and also Kondo's dizziness, he would soon faint, 'so before that, let's finish up the pirate boys this first.'

With that thought, Kondo advanced like a demon and quickly killed the pirates one by one in front of him, not long after, his clothes and face were already exposed to many pirates' possessions, Kondo almost fainted, body was over its limit, stamina was drained, the dizziness had not gone away, because it was safe and also the island was considered empty, Kondo decided to lie down next to his house and then he immediately passed out or fell asleep.
