on the vast sea called east blue , there exists many islands and kingdoms . one of them is a commercial island called stone island .
from afar it doesn't look any different from a normal island of this world but it has one specialty that has encouraged many merchants to set their bases here for mining beautiful colorful stones which can be used to make many accessories. the nobles liked to purchase excellent stuff crafted from these stones all over the east blue and even other seas .
this island had no name but the merchants occupied it 50 years ago and named it stone island . now the island has a single huge commercial city at the centre which is now inhabited by the rich and influential. in the east blue it serves a boost to reputation if they know that they are the permanent residents of stone city . but the coin has 2 sides and this island is also divided into 2 kinds of civilization.
other than stone city where the rich stayed , on the opposite side of the huge island after crossing the main mountain , one would arrive at the lawless zone . here unlike the stone city where exists strict law and order , nothing of this sort exists causing it being inhabited by thugs , bandits and sometimes pirates who dock in the island for raiding the city sometimes despite the strong defense system there . this area is totally ignored by the stone city government because they dont acknowledge the existence of lawless zone on their island at all .
thus killing , looting etc is commonplace events in this area so only the strong have the say here . but the strange thing is that the hidden leader of the lawless area is a 14 year old child while openly people recognize mountain bait rasa as their leader who is just a figurehead.
the 14 year old is called ren black but only the figurehead rasa knows about his name . right now inside the most big house in the lawless area , 2 people are discussing something inside the underground secret room .
one is a more than 3 meters tall buff man called rasa who is acting respectfully towards a child who is only 175 centimeters tall and look like a dwarf compared to rasa . this child is the true leader of the lawless area .
" so rasa , how many pirates were in that group in total and how many did you manage to capture ? " ren asked rasa with a cold tone like talking to an insignificant ant .
of course rasa also realised that but still he didnt dare to voice his dissatisfaction from fear . " black sama , the pirate group had a total of 13 million berri bounty so we used our full force to capture them quickly . we are sorry for acting without your permission!!" in the end rasa bowed down his head and started shaking in fear remembering the cruel end old residents had when they pissed off ren .
hearing the shaky voice of rasa ren didnt feel any sense of pride as this was only a little strong ant in his eyes . but hearing the capture of pirates, his mood was good . " dont worry rasa , I am not a maniac so I will forgive you and your bandit crew this time but remember to not act out of your place next time, if you want to live .." ren's emotionless words were ringing loudly inside the head of rarsa and his back was drenched in cold sweat .
rasa had no doubts that ren will definitely kill him because he had already killed more than 50 thugs who defied his rules . they all had their heads blasted with a small bullet and died without any resistance .
" I'm going to the prison to play with those captured pirates . as usual you can deliver their bodies to the marine base on the next island and take the bounty money for yourselves. but dont you dare let anyone disturb me when I'm in the middle of playing."
" yes black sama , I wont dare to go against your orders.." black was relieved as they were saved for now because ren was going to play ( torture and kill ) those pirates now . rasa knew that ren was already gone from the room but he still didnt raise his head from fear.
" sam , show me my STATUS " ren inwardly asked the system while walking slowly in the direction of underground prison .
" sure partner !

partner , do you want to turn auto cultivation on for disguise skill ? there are only 2000 more points remaining before lv 11 . "
" hmm.. well I will turn it on before sleeping at night as usual . besides now anyone without observation haki cannot see through my disguise at lv 10 so there is no hurry . now the most important thing is to get some exp points from those captured pirates . I only focused on leveling up marksmanship as main combat skill before because I can kill from far distance but now its finally time to level of boxing and especially swordsmanship
, I really want to use air slashes like zoro and mihawk from anime . "
" as you wish partner! so did you finally thought of the perfect devil fruit for you ? "
" tch .. dont mention it sam , there are too many and you despite being overpowered system restricted me to only one fruit.."
" sorry partner , the limits were decided by god when he created me . I cannot change them . besides you can level up craftsmanship to level 20 then you can just make devil fruit weapons in seconds automatically with system . "
" sigh .. you really tell me this everytime. you know that how hard it is to accumulate exp points and level 20 is really far away right now. so I have to level up swordsmanship to level 10 to use air slash right ? "
" approximately yes . I have only limited access to information in my database and the advance information will be only unlocked when you reach the appropriate skill level . "
" well , I'm already very fortunate because I can level up skills without much training so it will be not good if I complain too much . sam , tell me the accumulated exp points i can gain by killing all these captured pirates . i heard from rasa that this group had high total bounty so maybe I can get points enough to level up swordsmanship to high level . "
" partner , you are really too greedy . here is the list -
captain cragor -
bounty - 9 million berri
kill exp points - 14000
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
total kill exp points - 42500 "
" oh ? these bastsrds are actually worth so much ? sam , I'm going to practice some boxing with these punching bags now . "
" okay , partner . remember that experience gained from the same target will become less and less with each hit . "
" tch. I know that already . I'm going to punch them till they are dead anyway . sam , do you think I'm being too cruel ? "
" you are not wrong partner because you only kill bad people like pirates, evil merchants , bandits etc . you told me that you have no problems in killing scum before so there is no need to think much about this . "
" thanks sam , I'm glad that god was sensible enough to grant to consciousness. otherwise I would have gone insane already from constant killing and no one to share my stress with anybody .."
" dont mention it partner ! "
ren's eyes suddenly changed as he looked at the struggling pirates who were bound with chains and had their mouths stuffed with rags. one thing that ren had realised the hard way after coming to this world for 4 years now is that there are almost no good pirates in this world . he had seen too much bloodshed already and killed many too so his resolve was nothing like the fragile one on earth . if you dont kill then you will be the one to die in this world .
after that ren took his time practicing boxing on the pirates until each one died from either head exploding or organ failure. ren's face was indifferent to this cruelty as he had seen pirates doing much much worse to normal people already in these 4 years . ren was glad that he didnt have to start from a baby because even with system as a partner , he would have defined gone insane already from helplessness because small child cannot do much to protect himself at all..
