Starting with Hawkeye template, from Pirates to Demon Slayer Chapter 052

The day after Crocodile was cut in half.

Alabasta, Rainbase.

Inside the Rain Dinners Casino’s underground meeting hall.

With the arrival of Baroque Works’ strongest combatant, Mr. 1 Daz Bonez, all ten high-backed chairs on both sides of the long table in the meeting hall were now occupied.

At this moment, a man wearing a brown trench coat, sunglasses, and an afro, sitting in the fourth seat opposite Robin, coolly looked at Robin with his hands in his pockets and spoke:

“Hey! Miss All Sunday, now that everyone’s here, can you tell us why you called us all over?”

Swish!

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at Robin, who was sitting at the very front of the long table, opposite Mr. 1.

“Hehehe~”

Robin chuckled softly, then slowly stood up and walked to a high-backed chair at the very front of the long table that hadn’t yet been turned around. She placed one hand on the side of the chair and gently waved the other, causing all the lights in the underground meeting room to illuminate.

“Since everyone is so eager, I’ll be direct. Baroque Works has been established for so many years, and I’m sure you’ve all been curious about who your boss really is, right?”

Whoosh—

Robin’s words immediately caused a stir throughout the meeting hall.

However, no one spoke first.

But their gazes were fixed on the high-backed chair beside Robin, which had its back to them.

Creak!

As Robin gently turned the high-backed chair, the chair facing away from them slowly rotated around.

Then, a young man they had never seen before appeared, with his arms resting on the armrests, hands clasped together, leaning back in the high-backed chair, and his legs crossed, watching them with interest.

Upon seeing that their so-called BOSS was such a young brat, the expressions of these Baroque Works agents all became rather displeased.

The first to lose her composure was Miss Merry Christmas of Baroque Works, a middle-aged obese woman who had eaten the Mole-Mole Fruit, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

She slammed her hands on the table, making a series of “thump, thump, thump” dull sounds, and shouted at Robin:

“What kind of joke is this, what kind of joke, what kind of joke, Miss All Sunday! You just casually find some brat to be our BOSS, aren’t you afraid he’ll get killed by us!?”

Upon hearing the woman’s questioning, Robin remained unhurried. She smiled and looked at the others:

“Besides Miss Merry Christmas, does anyone else have any questions? Feel free to speak your minds clearly.”

Hearing this, the woman sitting next to Mr. 1, with long blue wavy hair and wearing a coffee-colored ruby bikini long-sleeved jacket, propped her chin and spoke in her magnetic, alluring voice:

“Oh my, oh my, it seems Miss All Sunday has a lot of confidence in our little BOSS.”

Mr. 3, sitting opposite her, was about to speak, but after hearing her words, he immediately shut his mouth, his small eyes behind his glasses flashing with shrewdness.

He had actually understood Miss Doublefinger’s meaning; she was warning them not to be impulsive, that this young man might not be as simple as he seemed.

As Mr. 1’s partner and a member who often received them at the secret cafe, the agents naturally understood Miss Doublefinger’s character.

Therefore, upon hearing her words, they swallowed their own questions and taunts that were on the tip of their tongues.

This, in turn, caused the entire meeting hall to suddenly fall silent.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

However, even in this suddenly silent meeting hall, strange noises continued to emanate.

Everyone turned their heads to see Miss Goldenweek eating senbei as if no one else was there.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the small girl tilted her head, then took out a small bag of senbei from her satchel and placed it on the table, pushing it with her small hands:

“Does anyone want some?”

The Baroque Works agents all raised their hands to cover their faces, thinking, “Goldenweek, is this really the time to talk about eating senbei?”

However, what happened next left them all dumbfounded.

They saw their so-called BOSS, introduced by Miss All Sunday, suddenly widen his smile. He raised his hand and waved at the bag of senbei Miss Goldenweek had placed on the table, chuckling:

“Excellent, it’s senbei! Then I won’t be modest.”

Whoosh—

Immediately, everyone saw the bag of senbei move as if it had a life of its own, then flew towards the young man in front. In just a breath, it landed in his hand.

Rip!

Then, they saw the young man tear open the packaging indifferently, take out a piece of senbei, and put it into his mouth.

Crunch, crunch, crunch—

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

For a moment, the entire silent meeting room was filled with the sounds of two people eating senbei again.

Miss Goldenweek ate her senbei while tilting her head, curiously watching the young man.

Although she didn’t talk much, she wasn’t stupid.

Being a Baroque Works agent sitting here proved her strength was unusual.

Therefore, seeing this young man dare to sit there and leisurely eat senbei just like her, she felt that this young man was also not simple.

Moreover, she had just seen her senbei actively fly into the young man’s hand.

She couldn’t detect the reason for such a strange attractive force at all.

A Devil Fruit user?

Almost simultaneously, the Baroque Works members frowned and immediately made a judgment.

“Ooh!”

At this moment, Mr. 2 Bon Clay suddenly exclaimed, making snake-like head movements with his hands and palms, then winked at Robin with his big, green-eyeliner-rimmed eyes:

“Miss All Sunday, just introduce him directly to everyone. I’m getting more and more curious about this little boss’s identity, and Mr. 1 must be getting impatient, right?”

Daz Bonez looked up at Bon Clay. To everyone’s surprise, he slowly nodded and spoke in his deep voice:

“I don’t care who the boss is, but to be my boss, you must first defeat me.”

At this point, he turned and met Lin Lei’s gaze, who was leisurely eating senbei:

“Do you have the qualifications to make me submit?”

As soon as Mr. 1 said this, the entire meeting room fell into an eerie silence once more. Even Miss Goldenweek, the carefree little girl, stopped eating her senbei.

Crunch, crunch, crunch—

However, the sound of eating senbei never stopped.

Mr. 1’s forehead veins bulged, and he stared at the young man with ill intent.

Robin glanced at the carefree man, then leisurely retreated to her original seat and smiled at Mr. 1 opposite her:

“Mr. 1, if you want to make a move, you can do so anytime. I’m sure our boss won’t mind, right?”

“Hmm.”

Crunch, crunch, crunch—

The young man nodded casually, still leisurely eating his senbei.

“Slicing Blade!”

Almost the instant the young man nodded, Mr. 1’s fingers transformed into blades, and his body moved like lightning. In a blink of an eye, he covered several meters and brought his hand down on the young man’s head.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone present!

Especially Mr. 3, who pushed up his glasses, his small eyes behind the lenses showing curiosity.

A sneak attack from Mr. 1!

Will this brat be torn to shreds just like that?

A chill ran down the spines of the Baroque Works agents. They knew that even they hadn’t reacted to Mr. 1’s sudden move.

If this brat had no other abilities, they would probably have a new boss today.

However, the next moment, something that horrified them occurred.

Ding!

The young man, holding a senbei in one hand, raised a single finger with the other and blocked Mr. 1’s sneak attack, which had transformed into five sharp blades. He held Mr. 1 suspended in mid-air.

Hiss!!!

Upon seeing this, the Baroque Works agents present felt their scalps tingle, almost sucking all the oxygen out of the basement.

At this moment, they had only one question in their minds.

Who exactly was this boss of theirs?!
