Chapter 78: Ruthless is the only way



"So this is a Water 7." 

"You have never been here before, Brook?" 

"It's quite different from the past, after all." 

"How different is it?" 

"Hmm... it was much, much larger than before." 

"Larger?" 3x

Brook nodded and said, "This one is so small." 

Yup, this was the impression that Brook got when he saw the Water 7 for the first time after so long. The island was cramped, he thought. 

"...did you know something, Masa?" Carina quickly looked at Masa, which quickly attracted the attention of Perona and Brook. 

"It isn't something surprising since many parts of the world have also been flooded by the sea." 

"..." 3x

"...hey, don't say something so scary, Masa." 

"Yeah, it is as if you want to say this world is going to sink, right?" 

"You are joking, right?" 

If this was the truth, then... wouldn't it be scary? 

"It's fine." Masa was calm and said, "I am going to make a big ship." 

"..." 3x

"Let's stop thinking and just enjoy, okay?" 

"It's hard to enjoy this trip after you said that!" 3x

The three of them complained since there was no way for them to enjoy this trip after knowing that this world might be flooded! 

Nevertheless, there was no doubt the bigger the ship was, the better. 

"Music room and horror-theme room, right? I know." Masa nodded. "I also want to make my own indoor farm, too." 

"...indoor farm." 

"Stop scaring us!" 

While Perona and Brook were frightened, thinking this whole world might be submerged by the ocean, Carina rolled her eyes and asked, "By the way, Masa, what is that?" 

"Hmm?" 

When Masa followed Carina's finger, he saw a steam locomotive that moved on the top of the ocean. 

"....." 

The steam locomotive aside, Masa had to say, the technology of One Piece was weird since how could a railway continue to float on the top of the ocean even with such an incredible weight on the top of it? 

"Oh, right, this isn't a locomotive." 

"What?" 3x

"No." Shaking his head, Masa knew that he had made the wrong assumption since the water vehicle before him wasn't a locomotive he knew. Instead, it was another type of ship that had the shape of a locomotive. "If I am not wrong, it is known as a sea train." 

"Sea train?" 

"It's a ship, but it uses a different mechanism to move." 

"What kind?" 

"It seems to be a paddle." 

"Oh, not using the wind like ours?" 

"Yup, there is a machine inside that ship that will make it move in the ocean. Naturally, this machine needs a different type of energy to move, so it isn't cheap." 

"Will you make that?" 

"Hmm... let me think first. I want to see what kind of ship this island, which is known to have the best shipbuilding technology, can offer me." Masa folded his arms and said, "I don't lack money, but can their technology satisfy me?" 

The highest chance this city couldn't satisfy him, Masa thought. 

Yet, there was no doubt that there were many strange and unique technologies on this island, such as "Cola Energy" of Franky. 

How the heck did a ship move with a cola? 

Was it by using the kinetic energy of the carbonation of the cola? 

Or did it get energy from the sugar in the cola? 

Masa wasn't sure, but if the fourth Masa brought this technology to his world, there was no doubt those countries that relied on oils and gases to survive would do their best to kill him, he thought, but he would try to get this unique technology.

Regardless, he felt that this island was like Venice, which was also known as the "City of Water" in his original world, and, similarly, this city also sunk in his original world. 

"Well, you got a lot of money from Moria-sama, after all..." Perona sighed helplessly, which caused Masa and Carina to roll their eyes. 

Moria had a lot of money? 

Hahaha...

Still, the two of them decided to remain silent since there was nothing good to show off about their wealth. 

"By the way, do you think there is a criminal organization here?" 

"There must be." Masa nodded firmly and said, "If one or a group wants to grow, it is impossible to grow by just being kind and gentle, after all."

"...." 3x

"Well, anyway, our purpose is the ship. When we finish, we can play around. There are many places that you can visit and enjoy." 

Masa then put his hand in his pockets, and then a wad of money went to Brook. 

"...." Perona. 

"...this is?" Brook subconsciously accepted the money awkwardly. 

"That's one million belly. If that's not enough, tell me." 

"Enough! Enough! This is enough!" 

One million? 

Brook had never touched so much money!

"Tell me if you need more; maybe you want a legendary sword or musical instrument. Just tell me what you need." 

"...." 

It was good to have a wealthy boss, Brook thought. 

"What about me?!" Perona couldn't help but complain. 

"Just tell me what you want, and I will buy all of them." 

"Really?!" 

"Yes." 

"Yay~!" 

"....." 

Watching Perona cling to Masa happily, Brook felt that it was better to become a woman, he thought. 

'Well, will he even be interested in female bones?' 

"No, I am not." 

"Hyohoho, can you tell what I am thinking?" 

Masa rolled his eyes, then said, "Let's go." 

"Oh!" 3x

With that, Masa ended his time with the ship which he stole from the noble family and entered the Water 7 for the first time. Watching the architecture, canals, fashions, and many others, he felt that this place was really similar to Venice. 

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that all of them attracted the attention of many. 

"Wow, those two are so beautiful..." 

"Wait! Wait! Is that a skeleton?! That's a skeleton, right?" 

"Offu!" 

Whether it was Perona or Carina, the two of them were beautiful on their own, especially when they had received care and nutrition from Masa, which made their charms even higher. 

It was the same case with Brook, who was just all bones with an afro. 

Yet, there was no doubt that the one that attracted the most attention was Masa, as he just appeared that special. Unlike before, there were the four of him, and his charm had become even better, which made him a bit speechless. 

Nevertheless, Masa often wore a facemask as he learned from the habit of Masa of Mahouka and the fourth Masa. 

'Well, I shouldn't call him the fourth Masa, right?' 

Yet, when he thought of the world in which the fourth Masa was, it was hard to give him a label such as Mahouka or DxD as the fourth Masa lived in the world with mixed characters from various harem comedy works. 

So, the harem comedy Masa? 

The fourth Masa became that dense character who didn't notice the feelings of the girls around him. 

Well, considering the status of Masa in that world, he felt like... it was normal for him not to be interested in the relationship; at least, this guy wanted to wait until he could enter the university as it wasn't easy to enter his targeted university while working to make money. 

If Masa was distracted by a relationship, and his dream was crushed, then... it would be too late to cry, right? 

Still, there was no need to worry too much about this, especially after the harem comedy Masa had this ability, he thought. 

Nevertheless, as he was in the middle of his thinking, many people with dirty clothes appeared, surrounding them, holding various weapons as they looked at their group with greedy smiles. 

"Woho~! The women are so beautiful! Let's get them boss!" 

"That walking skeleton is rare! We can sell this skeleton as a slave, too!" 

"By the way, that guy with the face mask, isn't he handsome!" 

"Anyway! Give up all of your resistance and bring everything!" 

"....." Masa, Carina, Perona, and Brook. 

"...how many times again this time, Carina?" 

"I am too lazy to count, Masa." 

"...did you often meet this situation, Masa, Carina?" Brook asked, speechless, wondering how the IQ of people in this world had been lowered so low that they didn't realize what kind of dangerous people this group of people tried to attack. 

"Dammit! How dare you?!" 

Still, Perona, who was a pirate, didn't have a good temper, and how could she allow this group of people to do something bad to the people she loved?! 

Yes, like Carina, Perona simply fell for Masa, who got her virginity for the first time and dominated her entirely, and she also thought of them as a family, so watching her family being threatened like this, how could she bear it?! 

Nevertheless, when Perona thought to use her ability, suddenly, out of nowhere, another group of people beat up this gangster group mercilessly. 

"You bastard!" 

"Do you think you can do whatever you want on this island?!" 

"I will beat you to death!" 

"....." 4x

Masa, Carina, Perona, and Brook didn't do anything and just remained in silence, watching a group of people dressed like mechanics and strange glasses beat up the gangster who tried to do something evil to them. 

Watching them, Masa felt like he underestimated the value of morals in this world, and he thought that there were no good people left. He knew that it might be strange, but all the people he had met were far from good, or rather, no one was a good person! 

Carina was a thief, Brook was a pirate, and Perona was also a pirate. 

Masa was the only one who was just a normal guy. 

If he appeared on the peaceful island, then would he even try to kill others? 

So, while the appearance of this group was strange, Masa was ready to thank them, but—

"We have saved you, give us money!" 

"Oh, let us play with your women for a bit, too!" 

"Ah, aren't you so handsome? By the way—" 

Masa beat all of them mercilessly, realizing that only by being ruthless could one live in this world safely.
