Starting with Hawkeye template, from Pirates to Demon Slayer Chapter 017

Hiss!!!

Upon hearing Lin Lei’s words, Vivi, Bepo, and the others, including the bear, gasped in unison.

Chop them up and throw them into the sea to feed the fish?

That’s too ruthless, isn’t it?!

In contrast, Law’s eyes brightened a few shades.

When Lin Lei used his Conqueror’s Haki, Law had already decided to accept the man’s earlier invitation and become his aid in ascending to the Shichibukai throne!

Being chased by Diamante all the way from North Blue these past few days made Law deeply realize that trying to take down Doflamingo for revenge would be impossible with just himself and his few companions.

The few of them couldn’t even defeat one Diamante right now!

In fact, if it weren’t for Boss Baruch’s intervention today, they would probably have all been captured by Diamante.

One must know that although Diamante was one of Doflamingo’s four top executives, his strength in the Donquixote Family ranked at most sixth!

Ahead of him were Doflamingo, Vergo, Pica, Trebol, and Caesar Clown!

Now, he was having such difficulty dealing with just one Diamante. Law couldn’t imagine how long it would take him to get his revenge!

The Donquixote Family was simply too vast, leaving him with no confidence at all.

Now, seeing Lin Lei, a young man with such powerful strength, even possessing the same Conqueror’s Haki as Doflamingo!

By following such a man, he might finally see a chance to take down Doflamingo.

After all, the other party had killed Diamante, so confronting Doflamingo was only a matter of time!

Therefore, Law, who had already made up his mind, heard Lin Lei’s words and responded in a deep voice, speaking as a subordinate:

“Yes!”

After responding, Law decisively used the last bit of energy he had saved for escape on his Op-Op Fruit ability.

“ROOM: Shambles!”

What happened next shocked Vivi’s young heart greatly.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

The swirling vortex in Law’s left palm instantly expanded into a transparent spherical space with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters. At the same time, with a swing of his right hand, he used Kikoku to cut all the unconscious human traffickers into countless pieces of varying sizes.

Splash, splash, splash!!!

Then, with a wave of his hand, Law threw the human traffickers, who had been cut into countless body fragments, into the surrounding sea.

Bodies cut by the Op-Op Fruit, if not personally restored by Law, would not lose their abilities even if they fell into the sea.

Even if these people woke up from their unconsciousness, they would eventually suffocate to death in despair!

Lin Lei naturally saw Law’s intention, but he nodded in satisfaction.

They deserved such a death!

Then, Lin Lei turned his head to look at Vivi:

“Miss Vivi, what do you think of my method of eradicating the roots? Is it more effective than sending them to the Marines?”

Vivi felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, she finally realized how naive her previous words had been.

Is this the cruelty of the sea that her father and the others spoke of?

Although Vivi was somewhat uncomfortable, she had no sympathy for human traffickers either.

Immediately, she nodded with a stiff smile:

“Mr. Lin Lei’s method is indeed much faster and more convenient than my childish suggestion.”

Seeing Vivi’s frightened expression, Lin Lei laughed heartily:

“Miss Vivi, there’s no need to be nervous. After all, I’m not a devil.”

“While my methods for these slave traders are a bit harsh, if you think about the slaves they’ve persecuted, you’ll understand that no matter how I deal with them, it’s not cruel.”

“Since they chose this line of work, they should be prepared to be eliminated by someone like me, who despises slave traders.”

“I… I understand, Mr. Lin Lei!”

Vivi’s expression became more serious. She hadn’t expected such a powerful person to explain things to a young girl like her. She immediately said earnestly:

“I was too naive before. I just realized that the Shichibukai are connected to the World Government.”

“If these people were sent to the Marines, most likely they wouldn’t be taken to Impel Down, but would be sent back to Doflamingo!”

“In that case, Mr. Lin Lei’s information would quickly be betrayed, and they would commit evil again!”

By the end, Vivi herself felt a little ashamed.

Only now did she understand how ridiculous her previous words had been.

Snap!

Lin Lei snapped his fingers:

“It’s already very impressive that Miss Vivi can quickly grasp the key points at this age.”

Vivi gave a wry smile, but soon she cheered up again and looked at Lin Lei, saying:

“Mr. Lin Lei, I know what kind of box Diamante’s Devil Fruit was in. I’ll take you to find it now.”

As she spoke, Vivi immediately stood up and walked forward.

“Good!”

Lin Lei also nodded slightly.

He was naturally happy to acquire another Devil Fruit.

Law and the others also followed.

“Boss Baruch, how do you plan to deal with these slaves?”

Law looked at Lin Lei beside him with an unreadable expression and spoke:

“Diamante’s death is no less than a bombshell for the Donquixote Family. If you don’t want to confront Doflamingo right now, you still need to be cautious.”

Hearing Law’s words, Vivi, who was walking ahead, and Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi, who were following behind, all pricked up their ears.

Lin Lei’s casual remark about “chopping people up to feed the fish” was still fresh in their minds.

They all wanted to confirm what kind of person this young man was and whether he was worth following, based on how he handled these slaves.

Law asked this question for the same reason.

He could help Lin Lei eliminate those slave traders without burden, but if Lin Lei intended to silence these slaves as well, he would absolutely not work with such a person.

Let alone follow him!

“Simple.”

Lin Lei seemed to have a plan already. A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he pointed to Vivi ahead and said:

“Just let this Princess of Alabasta take these slaves back. In that case, it should be no problem to buy us a month or two.”

Gasp!!!

Lin Lei’s words immediately caused Law and the others to exclaim in surprise.

“What!? The Princess of Alabasta! This girl?”

“Hiss!!! That super-power of the Grand Line? Hey, hey, hey, this… you’re joking, right!?”

“Boss Baruch, are you serious or not?”

Vivi, who was walking in front, also turned around sharply at this moment, her pretty face filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.

She couldn’t imagine how her identity had been exposed.

Even Diamante, an executive of the Donquixote Family, hadn’t recognized her identity.

“Mr… Mr. Lin Lei, are you… are you mistaken?”

Vivi still wanted to struggle, she chuckled:

“If I were really the princess of a superpower like Alabasta, how could I have been captured as a slave?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi all nodded in agreement.

Law had already recovered from his shock. After this short period of time together, he had a certain understanding of the man he was going to follow.

Such a man wouldn’t lie or deceive them about something like this.

Because it was completely meaningless.

Lin Lei surveyed everyone’s expressions, his steps never faltering. He walked over to Vivi, who still looked bewildered, raised his hand, patted her shoulder, and said, avoiding the question:

“Currently, the Shichibukai under the World Government are full. If I want to become a Shichibukai, I must bring one of them down.”

“Princess Vivi, if I asked you to help me choose a Shichibukai to take down…”

At this point, Lin Lei paused. He looked at Vivi’s slightly trembling body and her suddenly constricted dark pupils, then continued:

“Who would you choose? It’s so hard to guess.”
