The Birth of the Tree World

As John and the others followed in the footsteps of the pirates, one of the island's villages suffered a massacre.

　　"You damn bastards, how dare you defy me and kill my people, none of you will live today."

　　Hundreds of pirates surrounded a small village, captured all the inhabitants and began a bloody massacre.

　　Initially, this group of pirates came to raid the village, but who would have thought that anyone would dare to resist and kill one of them, which instantly enraged the pirate captain and he decided to massacre the village.

　　"Kill, kill them all, leave no one alive."

　　The cold blade rose and fell, and in an instant, this small village of only a few hundred people was wiped out.

　　"Hahahahaha......"

　　The pirate captain laughed out loud in triumph, the bloody scene made him very pleased.

　　This pirate captain was called Coleman, he was an extremely cruel pirate from the North Blue, and this pirate group of them, also half a year ago, entered the first half of the Grant Line from the North Blue.

　　The Pirates, led by Coleman, were a group of vicious scum, murderous criminals already infamous in the North Blue, and not changed since their arrival in the Grant Line.

　　The bounty on Coleman's head has risen from 40 million baileys during their North Blue trip to 89 million baileys today, just 10 million short of the 100 million bailey mark.

　　Since they are all the dregs of society, this pirate group causes great destruction wherever they go, not to say that they leave no one behind, but they kill anyone who dares to resist, they kill anyone who looks at them, and they kill anyone who has no money.

　　Although many pirate groups are scum, most of them are just looking for money. A pirate group like Coleman's, who kill for no reason and without law, is definitely considered scum even among pirates.

　　"Boss, we killed everyone, old people, children, nobody left."

　　Coleman laughed even more freely when he heard the report of his people: "Burn this place, it upsets me, burn everything to the ground."

　　"Yes, boss".

　　The pirates started lighting fires, and soon the village, which had been quiet, turned into a sea of ​​fire.

　　"Not good, smoke is rising up ahead, it must be the pirates burning the village."

　　John and the others leading the way saw a large amount of smoke billowing up ahead, which is formed only after being burned in a flame.

　　Lieutenant Commander Matt, who was experienced, immediately realized what was happening and was horrified.

　　"Quickly, we need to go there immediately, we can't let those pirates cause more damage and burn down the village."

　　The group instantly accelerated and rushed there as fast as they could.

　　The pirates were about to leave, when they suddenly saw that a lot of sentinels appeared, instantly alerted.

　　"Boss, there are sentinels."

　　Coleman's face was grim: "How did the Marines get here?"

　　They had been on this island for some time and had never run into the Marines, but they didn't expect to run into them the moment they were about to leave.

　　"What the hell, if the Marines dare to come and die, I will do it, bastards, kill all the Marines for me."

　　When Marines and pirates meet, the most realistic situation is fight or flight.

　　If the pirates don't want to run away, then they'll have to fight, and that's the kind of fight that doesn't require anything stupid, it's simple.

　　In fact, there are very few situations like "War of the Strongest" where you talk for half a day before you start fighting, and this is a duel of the strongest.

　　And now, after John and the pirates had met, no more words were needed, just one look at the fire that filled the sky and the corpses that were already lying all over the earth.

　　"Kill!"

　　Matt, as the highest ranking officer, was also at the moment, his hair and fingers crackling in anger as he roared in rage.

　　The sentinels prepared for this quickly drew their rifles and opened fire on the advancing pirates, and the battle began.

　　"Bang Bang Bang......"

　　Both sides opened fire almost simultaneously, firing non-stop.

　　John did not rush forward, but looked ahead, and although he was not close, thanks to the will of observation, he could still clearly see the roaring flames, as well as the corpses that had fallen to the ground and piled nearby.

　　You didn't need to think to understand, these corpses must have been the inhabitants of this village, they were the most ordinary people, but now they turned into corpses, it was much more terrible than any scene he had ever seen before.

　　And somehow, thanks to his amazing will of observation, he heard endless cries of suffering and misfortune, and it was hard to imagine how much torment these villagers endured and how desperate they were before death.

　　"Those bastards, they all deserve to die."

　　An unprecedented anger filled John, seeing such a cruel scene for the first time, even the calmest person would instantly become angry at this moment, and they would be left with only endless anger.

　　"John".

　　Seeing that John's eyes turned red, Peberton was amazed: he had known John for more than a year, and for the first time he had seen him so angry, even when the pirates killed an entire ship full of people at sea, he had never seen John so angry.

　　"I'm fine".

　　Peberton's words woke John up and he took a deep breath, most of his feelings had just disappeared due to his anger.

　　Peberton, do you think all these people deserve to die?

　　Peberton replied, "Yes, they all deserve to die."

　　"Very well, then I will send them to their deaths."

　　"John, what do you want to do?" Peberton felt that John was in a somewhat inadequate state.

　　Instead of answering, John approached Officer Matt and said, "Officer Matt, I'm going to use my devil fruit powers, order your men to stop firing and stand back."

　　"A?"

　　Matt looked at John in surprise, there were a lot of pirates there, was John ready to deal with them alone?

　　"Don't be surprised, just watch."

　　Without explaining anything, John walked forward and sat down on the ground, hands pressed to the ground with cold eyes.

　　"Since I mastered my power, I have never used it to its full potential, today I will see where my limit is."

　　After saying that, he used his ability to its full potential and began to communicate with the plants that lived underground while simultaneously using his ability to create plants.

　　Saying that he was using Hashirama Senju as a reference template for developing his ability, John wasn't kidding, he had already started planning his training.

　　These simple wooden ninjutsu techniques John naturally didn't need to develop, since he could directly control plants to attack, which is a much more convenient way than forming a seal.

　　However, these abilities of Hashirama Senju could be used, and the ability he was about to use now was a parody of Hashirama Senju's technique.

　　But unlike Hashirama, who directly clapped his hands and used his chakra to create techniques, John had no chakra and could only use his physical strength to call on the fruit's power to create plants.

　　This also caused the time needed to create the technique to not be as fast as Hashirama's, unless he prepared for it in advance, then it would probably be fast; but now he clearly hadn't prepared for it beforehand, and using the technique would take some time to prepare.

　　Due to his anger, John didn't care about expending his physical strength and used his ability to create plants to the maximum.

　　After about ten seconds, John finally pulled himself together and called out in a low voice, "Birth of the tree world!"

　　With John's cry, the smooth ground suddenly shook, and a shocking scene ensued.
