"W-what are you doing?" Spoke the spy that was held by the neck…

Seeing the panicked crowd that was pointing their guns at him, Yuki put away his gun without letting go of the spy before he took out a pocket watch and waved it in front of the spy and pretended as if he was trying to hypnotize him before he said

"Don't worry, this is just to make sure that everything is fine…" Spoke Yuki calmly and he could feel a terrible rage building up behind him, its source was every single one of the revolutionaries, but especially Dragon…

"You better explain yourself after this" Spoke Dragon and Yuki could feel a terrifying aura from him, but he simply ignored it and activated his master of self and greed abilities at the same time while using the guise of hypnotizing the spy to take control over his mind before he asked calmly

"Are there any traps in the base you prepared?" a heavy silence suddenly covered the crowd as they focused on the spy leader who had unfocused eyes and opened his mouth mechanically and said a single word "Yes!"

The moment those words left his mouth, the rest of the spies instantly yelled "ATTACK!" And just as they did, countless explosions were triggered from under the crowd of revolutionaries along with guns and other traps that were hidden in the trees…

The revolutionaries were taken by surprise and they could barely react as they started flying through the air from the explosions.

Dragon had a shocked look on his face but he quickly waved his hand and raised his subordinates into the air allowing them to avoid most of the explosions, although they couldn't avoid injuries;

Meanwhile, Yuki simply used the body of the spy leader to block the incoming bullets before he rushed at the spies and began to immobilize them and the officers of the revolutionary army also did the same and in no time, they took care of the spies and held them captive before they started questioning them…

…;

After the chaos was settled, Dragon approached Yuki who was sitting to the side alone and asked him directly "How did you know that this was a trap?"

Yuki observed him calmly and he couldn't help but remember what happened... He has a weird intuition when he saw the spy leader crying and it came from his master of self ability that allowed him to control his emotions, and after consulting with Morgana that can detect emotion directly, he confirmed his doubts, the spy wasn't crying tears of joy, his feelings were cold and calculated!

"I can sense emotions to a certain extent, and that guy had an unsettling aura surrounding him so I decided to test him out before we make a move… considering the preparation they made for us here, I'm sure you can imagine what kind of traps awaited us at the so-called base they prepared for us"

Dragon remained silent for a while before he shot his injured men a look and said "Thanks, it seems like we took lightly how loyal these men can be to such a brutal king... This was my fault"

Yuki noticed that Dragon was clenching his hands so hard that the air around them vibrated slightly 'Tch this guy is scary' Before he shook his head and said "You can't gain anything for free, and the price of freedom isn't cheap for it is paid off with lives… good lives"

Dragon froze slightly as he stared at Yuki with a bewildered look but Yuki calmly patted him and said "But if there's a cause worthy of this kind of price, then it's this one"

"I agree" Spoke Sabo as he approached them from the distance followed by the other officers that responded "Me too x ??"

Dragon smiled silently before he asked sternly "How's the state of our people?"

Koala stood beside him and reported "most are fine, only a few have minor injuries and fewer have serious injuries... No deaths!"

"Fine then, if they want to be brutal, we will be more brutal than them!" Dragon had a cold look in his eyes and Yuki couldn't help but cheer him "HAHAHA I'm going to enjoy this raid"

The officers shot Yuki a weird look, but they didn't comment on what he said for they all felt the same!

….

That day, the bull kingdom and their brutal king fell under a terrifying onslaught by the revolutionary army and its strong army! It can't even be considered a fight as they basically weren't even in the same league.

"Oy Yuki, I heard you were seen near the treasury!" yelled Koala at Yuki but he simply shrugged and said "You must be imagining things…"

Koala pouted at him before she used her Fishman karate to punch him in the stomach and said "How many times do I need to tell you that the money is needed to rebuild this kingdom!"

"Tch, fine, I will return it, just stop bothering me now" Spoke Yuki with an annoyed look on his face and Koala finally beamed when she heard this response and went to the location where Yuki said he was hiding the things he stole.

However, she will never realize that he expected her presence and hid most of the things he stole in his space ring while only leaving a few things he found too big to carry in his space ring!

"Yuki, come, the party is about to start" Spoke Sabo while dragging Yuki with him and the latter's eyes couldn't help but light up as he responded "Free food you said?"

'I didn't say that' thought Sabo before he ignored this thought as Yuki's face was simply too creepy to focus on anything else...

That day, Sabo and the revolutionary crew learned their lesson and vowed to never invite Yuki to any of their parties as he ate enough food to feed 5 giants!

"HAHAHA, Yuki, how can you eat so much?" Spoke Sabo and Yuki simply shrugged and responded "I'm not sure myself"

Sabo stared at him and his bloated stomach surrounded by many small hills made of empty plates with a weird look and he couldn't help but find this scene familiar, but he simply couldn't link it to anything he experienced before…

'What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I forgot something significant?' wondered Sabo while staring at Yuki but he simply couldn't bring himself to remember what he forgot so he simply shook his head and decided to ignore it for now…

…

The next day in the morning, Yuki was training his swordsmanship that already reached level 70 when suddenly, he received a notification from the system

[Quest: Desert Savior]

[Quest Description: The Alabasta kingdom is about to face its doom from a combination of inside and outside factors. However, that place holds so much importance to this world so will you be a hero and save it? However, your involvement has consequences]

[Quest Task: Join the Strawhats crew and the princess Vivi to free the kingdom of Alabasta.]

[Quest reward: Skill: Earth spike | Additional rewards can be gained if the host reduces the number of casualties]

[Quest punishment: Lose one random skill, Death of one of the straw hats]

[Quest note: Do not rely on the knowledge you have alone for it will fail you!]

'What does this mean? My knowledge will fail me? It also said that my involvement will have consequences… this is weird'

Yuki was confused as this was the first time this kind of condition appeared in one of his quests so he started recollecting his memories of the possible enemies he could face 'If I'm not wrong, the main problem in this mission should have been Crocodile and his men which the Strawhats are going to face… however, it seems like someone else might interfere this time… Guess I need to be more prepared'

Yuki calmly calculated how much time he had and concluded that the Strawhats will take around 10 days before they reach Alabasta considering that they are still on their way to drum island…

"I will make the best of this time I have, especially since the revolutionaries are going to station here for a while to stabilize the situation"

So, Yuki started training his Haki and swordsmanship even harder than he already did, at this time, Yurei and Shizue also finished destroying every single lab back in the 'normal' world and decided it was time to accept his reward

[Host has greatly overperformed on his third task by destroying all the labs in the world and forcing the organization behind them to halt their research. Additional rewards will be received]

[Accept rewards: Yes/No]

'Yes' thought Yuki and his eyes instantly lit up as he stared at the rewards he received

[4 skill points + 10 mastery upgrade points]

'Hmm, interesting, I actually got mastery upgrade points huh? However, I won't use them yet' He thought, and these weren't the only rewards he received from this as he collected 10/30 of the ingredient required for the next evolution of his space affinity.

…

10 days later

"Where should we dock the ship?" Asked Nami to Vivi who knew Alabasta better than any of them and she directly replied to them "There's a cove to the west, we can hide it there…"

However, just as they were preparing to go there, a voice suddenly appeared behind Luffy and said "Yo Luffy, it has been a while my friend"

"AH Yuki!!!" Yelled Luffy and directly jumped at Yuki and wrapped him with his hands and legs

"Yes yes, I missed you too" Replied Yuki with a wry smile as Luffy tied him so thoroughly that he couldn't even attempt to steal from his empty pockets that were emptier than his brain…

"Eh, is this someone you guys know?" asked Vivi suddenly, while the rest of the crew didn't feel surprised by him appearing out of nowhere and they slowly approached Yuki and apologized in unison

"Sorry for doubting you… and thank you for saving my life" Spoke Nami as she kept staring at Yuki waiting for his answer along with the others but Yuki simply grinned and said "Ah forget about it, I'm not a petty person…"

The crew let out sighs of relief and thought that Yuki was worthy of their respect, but he suddenly dropped a Nami on them and said "Just pay me 10 million berries each and everything will be swept under the rug"

Staring at the awkward faces of the friends she made and the honest smile on Yuki's face as he tried to scam them, Vivi couldn't help but think 'Somehow, he's a perfect match for this crew…'

…

After docking near the port of Nanohana, Yuki got to know the crew better and they also got to know him as well and understood that he wasn't joking about the 10 million Berry so they started feeling a chill whenever he approached them and asked them about when they will give him his money despite him making that declaration just a few minutes ago

"We got someone even greedier than Nami…" Spoke Usopp earning him a punch from Nami before they got down from the ship and made their way to the town and Luffy directly dragged Yuki with him and said "Let's go party!!!"

"Sure, as long as you pay" Replied Yuki, and Luffy simply replied absentmindedly "Sure sure"

'Did he even hear what I said?' wondered Yuki but his eyes suddenly widened as Luffy yelled "Restaurant!!!" before he wrapped his legs around Yuki and stretched his hands to grab two buildings…

"Oy, what are you doooooooooo-" Yuki couldn't finish his sentence as he found himself flying with Luffy and directly smashed into the restaurant…

'This guy is truly reckless… You might kill people like this' thought Yuki but Luffy didn't care and simply started demanding food while ignoring the destruction he caused…
