Flevance.
The sounds of gunfire came from everywhere.
The soldiers of the united army advanced like zombies, indiscriminately killing all the citizens of Flevance in their path.
A large number of children were sent around the church in the center of Flevance, who were sent here by retreating adults.
Not far from the church.
"At least save the children..."
"No problem, just gather all the children here."
A young woman in nun's robes looked pleadingly at a man in a white suit.
The man thought about it and nodded.
The nun smiled brightly and bowed to the white-robed man, then ran quickly to gather the children.
But.
When the nun turned around, the kindness in the man's eyes was abruptly replaced by coldness and indifference.
He is a member of SP-0, under direct command of the World Government.
His task was to oversee the cleanup of Flevance.
If this country is not completely destroyed, the secret of the World Government and the royal family of Flevance about lead mining may be revealed.
This country must be buried along with all the secrets....
The previous promise was false.
It is much easier to gather the children into a group and kill them all at once, rather than waste time searching.
But as he was preparing to report to the World Government, a quiet voice suddenly came from the side.
"What's going on here?"
The SP-0 member froze for a moment as he heard this calm voice, then turned his head sharply and looked at the figure walking in the distance.
When the SP-0 member got a better look at the walking figure, his expression changed dramatically and his eyes filled with surprise.
This person...
An SP-0 member instantly identified the person in front of his eyes.
The traveler!
According to the known information, after killing the Kaido Beast, he became the ruler of Wano Country.
How could he appear here?!
"Has the World Government ordered the complete destruction of this country?"
Yeruashi approached and asked calmly, looking at the SP-0 member.
A cold sweat broke out on the SP-0 member's forehead, and his voice trembled violently, "... yes, Flevance is over, even without the blockade of the neighboring countries. All the people in this country are poisoned with lead, so sooner or later they will die of lead disease."
"Ah, such a disgusting dirty act."
Yeruashi said mockingly.
"..."
The SP-0 member stood tensely in front of Yeruashi, not daring to say anything.
In the expanses of the sea, almost no one can scare SP-0 members, even people like Whitebeard or Golden Lion, the only exception is the person standing right in front of him right now!
This person is really... capable of destroying the world!
A member of SP-0 felt the pressure stronger, standing right in front of Yeruashi.
Cautiously he asked, after a few seconds of silence, "How did you get here?"
"Just passing through."
Yeruashi looked at a nun standing nearby and said calmly, "I'm not interested in this country, but I need children, gather them all in a safe place for me."
"...Huh?"
The SP-0 member was stunned to hear this demand, but then looked into Yeruashi's eyes and lowered his head abruptly, "Alright, I'll take care of that right away."
After saying that, he quickly walked away.
Yeruashi continued to stand calmly in the middle of the street, looking out of the corner of his eye in the directions where the sounds of explosions and battle were coming from.
After the SP-0 member left Yeruashi immediately pulled out den den mushi and contacted the World Government.
He immediately reported Yeruashi's appearance.
"That man... appeared in Flevance?!"
Gorosei's voice on the other end trembled violently.
After a few seconds of silence, one of them still replied, "You must accept all of his demands unconditionally..."
"Yes."
The SP-0 member took a deep breath.
He climbed onto the roof of the building and looked at the many children gathered near the church.
Who would have guessed that the children of Flevance would be so lucky in such a desperate situation.
Most likely the Traveler would want to take these children for training, and given their abilities, eliminating the lead disease should not be difficult.
The doomed and tragic ending has been completely rewritten.
Often, just a single word from one of the great people at the top of this world can decide the fate of an entire country.
...
Before long.
Two SP-0 members led a nun and children through the ruined streets of Flevance.
"You are lucky."
"You were doomed to perish along with this country, but suddenly a man appeared who was ready to accept you."
One of the SP-0 members said calmly.
The nun folded her hands in front of her chest and began to pray after hearing the words of an SP-0 member.
But the nun's fingers were tense and there was great concern in her eyes.
After the crowd passed down the street and turned at the intersection, a human figure appeared in front of them, standing calmly in the middle of the street.
"Mr. Traveler."
"We have picked up the surviving children..."
One of the SP-0 members stared at Yeruashi and said cautiously.
The nun, who was leading a large crowd of children, was startled abruptly when she heard an SP-0 member address this person, and then felt a strong shock, thinking of something.
The traveler?
That Traveler?
The name Yeruashi is not so widespread in the four seas, if compared to Grand Line, but there are still many people in the expanses of North Blue who are well aware of the existence of such a person in the sea.
Perhaps few people can recognize Golden Roger or Dark King Rayleigh at first glance, but everyone from young to old has heard their names!
Although Yeruashi appeared in the expanses of the sea not so long ago, even such a short period of time was enough to make his name a household name all over the world!
Whoosh!
Yeruashi briefly examined the nun and the children in front, then waved his hand, revealing a black spatial passage.
"This is the gateway to the New World... go through it if you want to live."
Yeruashi said calmly, after once again surveying the assembled children, and squinted at the SP-0 member, "Were all the children assembled?"
The SP-0 member hesitated and replied cautiously, "There may be more.... We'll search right away."
"Hands on."
Yeruashi waved his hand.
Two SP-0 members immediately left the street.
In the middle of the street, only a young nun and children remained.
Many children stared in fright at the black space passage next to Yeruashi.
The nun suppressed her anxiety with difficulty.
Now it is not so important what rumors surround the personality of this person, it is much more important that the lives of all the children here depend on him.
His choice was limited to only two options.
Life or death.
"There is no need to be so afraid, it should be the devil fruit skill from the legends... it seems that we will get somewhere else by passing through this black passage."
The nun looked fondly at the children behind her, doing her best to remain calm, and led them one by one to the space passage leading to Wano Country.
