The Terror of the Pirates

He successfully escaped by urinating.

Once he arrived in the bathroom, Alex immediately locked the door.

Hunter's Notes

A black notebook with a stylish appearance appeared out of thin air.

At the spine, the black quill of the quill pen was slightly trembling, as if waiting for Alex's favor.

When developing the ability, Alex had originally conceived of a black fountain pen, but that would have made development more difficult.

So, in order to reduce the pressure on the development of other parts, he had to settle for the second-best option, a quill pen that was more difficult to write with but had a simpler structure.

Extracting the quill pen from the spine, Alex did not hesitate to write the two characters for constitution in Chinese on the first silver line.

Physical fitness was his highest priority at the moment.

This was something that didn't need to be considered at all.

Because only by improving one's physical fitness could one have the capital to pursue more things.

Not to mention that in the world of One Piece, a strong physique was the foundation for a strong foothold.

And perverted physiques like Charlotte Linlin, the Four Emperors' mother, and Kaido, the Beast, were something that Alex dared not even think about at the moment.

After writing down his needs, Alex flipped to the first page of his notebook.

The page was blank as snow.

In a trance, Alex saw densely packed, ugly handwriting on the page.

As he blinked, the handwriting suddenly disappeared like an illusion.

Alex was momentarily stunned and muttered, "Let's start again..."

Right now, he was like someone who had a major operation and then went to a new hospital to have a minor operation and start again.

In terms of advantages, it was still solid.

Alex held the pen and moved, generating a mental image of Watt's appearance while quickly writing down Watt's relevant information.

[Evan Watt]

[Good with a knife]

This information was heard from Sunny and was ridiculously simple.

However, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Moreover, with the strength of this body, even if the benefits were relatively small, the effect was expected to be immediate.

It was as if an important task had been completed, and Alex slowly closed the Hunter's Notes with an extra effort.

Thanks to Evan Watt for his dedication.

Thanks to Kid, who had led Watt here.

Alex took off the Hunter's Notes and looked at himself in the mirror.

He gently pressed his fingers against the bloody bandage on his forehead, and the pain immediately grew.

If the Hunter's Notes were effective, the degree of wound healing should have changed significantly after completing the hunt.

The only thing he regretted was that Watt was not a martial arts expert.

"Ready,"

Alex said, picking up the pocket knife on the sink and stepping out of the toilet.

Inside the shop, Saul and Sunny had been waiting for a long time.

But in reality, it had only been a matter of minutes.

Holding the pocket knife in his hand, Alex went to the unconscious Watt.

With Saul and Sunny watching, Alex didn't waste any time. He knelt down, gripped the knife, and thrust it into Watt's chest, aiming for the heart.

Pop

Blood splattered onto Alex's hands.

Embarrassingly, the knife only went in halfway and almost slipped out of his hand.

Saul raised an eyebrow.

Sunny's eyelids drooped.

Damn it

Alex cursed under his breath.

But thinking about the physical fitness level of this world, he also felt relieved, and besides, his current body was very weak.

Without any hesitation, Alex pulled out the knife and then added a few more stabs, which quickly killed Watt in his coma.

The whole process was over just like killing a chicken.

After all, Alex had done this kind of thing many times before.

In the hunting results in the hunter's notes from his previous life, there were nearly a thousand names written.

Among them, he had basically gotten a job in the execution agency and then used convenient means to personally execute those criminals sentenced to death.

The whole process was just a matter of pressing the execution switch to deliver the medicine, and it was as easy as pie.

Because the rewards came so easily, Alex stayed in the correctional facility for a long time and lacked experience in fighting to the death.

Strictly speaking, Alex was not a standard hunter who tended to fight.

As the number of criminals he personally executed increased, Alex gradually developed a tacit indifference towards life.

Or rather, indifference towards the lives of criminals. Most pirates in this world, in Alex's opinion, were no different from the hardened criminals in the correctional institutions of his previous life.

Killing them was like stepping on an ant, without any psychological burden.

Speaking of correctional institutions, the only place Alex could think of in the world of One Piece was Impel Down.

However, the punishment institutions in the world of One Piece seemed to be a little more humane.

Even if the criminals imprisoned in Impel Down were sentenced to death more than ten times, they were just imprisoned and that was it.

It could be understood as preventing the Devil Fruit from falling into the wrong hands, but obviously, only a few people with abilities were imprisoned in Impel Down.

However, even if Impel Down did not advocate executing prisoners, with his abilities, he was actually very suitable for joining the Navy.

Unfortunately, he woke up in such a chaotic place. Even if he could escape in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to pass the Navy's recruitment screening.

As his thoughts turned, Alex slowly released the hilt of the knife, got up, and closed his eyes.

In the darkness in front of him, the Hunter's Notes floated silently, emitting a halo of light around the edges, like the sun during a total eclipse.

The halo was seeping into the notebook at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Immediately, a tiny white speck appeared on the black cover.

At the same time, the light source disappeared, and the darkness returned.

In a short period of time, a hint of blood appeared on Alex's pale face.

He opened his eyes and felt a slight itch on his forehead.

At the same time, the feeling of weakness, which would make him collapse if he were blown over by a strong wind, had obviously decreased a lot.

These changes were all from the hidden gains in physical needs.

As for obvious gains such as muscle and hardness, Watt's rank and the meager preparation materials were not enough to cause changes.

But in any case, the hunter's notes were useful!

Alex's eyes lit up.

Saul and Sunny watched as Alex killed Watt and reacted with excitement after it was over, but they didn't feel anything.

After all, in their opinion, merchants often hated pirates the most for their rampant looting.

Not to mention that Alex's predicament was all thanks to pirates.

It was only normal for him to take out his anger on Watt and thus clear his mind.

However, Saul didn't want the future number two laborer in the shop to go to extremes.

He went over to the corpse, pulled out his pocket knife, and wiped the blood off the corpse's clothes.

"Look how agitated you are. I told you to let go of the past, but I don't want to see you get stuck in a rut."

"Understood,"

Alex answered with his head bowed.

He knew exactly what Saul was talking about, and there was no way he was going to volunteer any explanations.

All he had to do now was to loyally cling to Saul's leg and then, as soon as possible, blend in with this Mad Hatter Town, where human life was cheap.

Saul glanced at Alex's blood-stained right hand and said, "I'm glad you understand. Go wash your hands first."

Then he looked at Sunny and said, "Sunny, go and tell Arthur to come collect the body."

"Okay."

Sunny left as she was told.

Alex went to the toilet, turned on the tap, and washed the blood off his hands.

After washing them clean, Alex dried his hands and looked at himself in the mirror.

He raised his hand and pressed the wound again.

A few minutes ago, it hurt, but now it didn't.

The results were gratifying, and in part, this was because the body was too weak.

He didn't know how many hunts he'd have to complete to reach a level comparable to Luffy's healing power.

"Hoo..."

Alex let out a soft breath, relaxing both body and mind.

Having successfully completed his first hunt, he felt slightly more confident.

However, the situation was still difficult, and the second hunting target was even more distant.

"Mad Hatter's..."

"Although it is dangerous, on the other hand, it is considered an excellent hunting ground."

"Take your time."

Alex cupped cold water and slapped his face.

Wiping away the water, without hastily removing the bandage to check the wound, Alex walked out of the toilet.

On the way back, there was an additional strong outsider in the store.

The man was wearing a set of clothes similar to an engineer's uniform, a black bandana with the word "Death" written on it tied around his left arm, and a white mask covering his face except for his eyes and half of his mouth.

Alex thought to himself that this person must be Arthur, whom Sunny had gone to fetch to collect the corpse.

Arthur was originally examining the corpse when he heard Alex's footsteps. He looked up, a little surprised.

"Oh, you've woken up."
