Chapter 2 - Gojo + Sukuna?

Looking at the system panel, Renji fell into thought.

A villain faction, huh?

Leaving aside whether he could abandon his ideology shaped by years of compulsory education to become a cold-blooded killing machine, he couldn't even get past the landlady's kindness.

As for joining the pirate faction?

He couldn't indiscriminately kill civilians, and there were also many guys in the Marine that he respected.

And the crucial point was, he'd be chased by the Marine every day.

Just thinking about it was annoying, and besides, the reward was the Dark-Dark Fruit, which was unnecessary for him at the moment.

According to the later plot, the Dark-Dark Fruit was no longer a top-tier choice.

After checking the introduction of Heavenly Six Eyes, he realised that it was similar to Gojo Satoru's Six Eyes, but its functions were even more overpowered.

'Since that's the case, I choose to join the Marine faction.'

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making your choice. Heavenly Six Eyes (Lv. 1) has been distributed!]

As the system's voice faded, Renji felt a refreshing coolness in his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, information from within a hundred meters instantly flooded his brain.

The texture of the wooden boards, the sand on the ground, every rustle in the wind—all were within his control.

At the same time, a mysterious power began to grow within his body. It was Cursed Energy. It was composed of a large amount of negative emotions, representing the dark side of power.

Techniques primarily composed of Cursed Energy were collectively known as Cursed Techniques.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully making your first selection.]

[Reward: Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue (Lv.1)]

Renji opened his eyes, his azure pupils shining with brilliance. He spread his palm, and as Cursed Energy surged, a ball of blue-white light danced in his palm, emitting astonishing suction.

'I've even learned Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. Amazing.'

[Detected that there is a Starter Pack available. Would you like to open it?]

'Open!'

[Ding! Successfully opened one Starter Pack. Martial Arts (Lv. 1) and Dismantle (Lv. 1) have been distributed.]

Renji felt the surging power within him. Now, if he were to face that guy again, he was confident he could beat him beyond recognition, even relying solely on his physical body.

Dismantle!

With just a single swipe.

Swish!

A flying slash imbued with Cursed Energy cut through the air, severing a corner of the house.

Sukuna's techniques were indeed good!

Renji's lips curled into a smile. The gruesome bloodied hole on his chest had disappeared.

The next second, he vanished from his original spot.

"You bastard, just you wait for me!"

...

"Vice Admiral Garp, report! The island ahead is suspected to be invaded by pirates!"

Garp was enjoying his senbei. Hearing this, he instantly became displeased and flew towards the island using Geppo.

"Dare to cause trouble on my turf? Which group of pirates is so bold? Just in time, my fists are a bit itchy today."

...

"All my savings from all these years are here. Please spare my life."

"This is all the food I have left. How am I supposed to live, old man?!"

"No! Please, let my daughter go! She's only eight years old!"

...

The town was in chaos, fires breaking out everywhere. The sound of breaking bottles and jars mixed with screams. What was once a peaceful dwelling had now fallen into a purgatory.

This was a true portrayal of this world being invaded by pirates.

Bang!

A pirate kicked a table over, his eyes scanning the two women in front of him wantonly, finally stopping at a certain spot and laughing loudly.

"Hehehe! Boss, these two women are not only beautiful but also run a tavern like this."

Watching the approaching figures, Miruko's face was solemn as she shielded her daughter behind her.

Kurone, who was leading the pirates, was unbelievably fast. He had dealt with the tavern's security in an instant.

She just didn't know how Renji was doing. If he was at the port, she was afraid...

Feeling sorrowful, Miruko had already prepared for the worst. She absolutely could not let herself and her daughter fall into the hands of these people, even if it meant death.

Reiko, behind her, had tears in her eyes. Despite being terrified, she still held onto a glimmer of hope as she spoke, "You bastards! What did you do to Renji?!"

Unexpectedly, her actions only further ignited the ferocity of several pirates.

Their eyes glowed with evil light, and they licked their lips, saying, "Oh, Renji? As long as you obediently listen to us, he'll be fine."

Reiko's eyes lit up at the words. "Really?!"

"Of course it's true. I never lie."

"Really?"

"Hehe, of course. Wait, I will come and tell you now."

Just as a pirate squatted down, preparing to lay his hands on her, a cold sensation pressed against his forehead.

Bang!

Having killed one person, blood stained Reiko's clothes. With tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, she raised her gun and aimed it at Kurone.

This little girl was actually acting!

Kurone revealed a bloodthirsty, ferocious smile.

"You damned devils! If Renji dies, I'll make you all pay for it with your lives!"

Her mother had told her that at this distance, ordinary people couldn't dodge it at all.

Reiko was about to pull the trigger when Kurone's figure burst forth with astonishing speed, and with one palm, he knocked the gun away, then seized Reiko's throat and lifted her up.

'Even with a gun, I couldn't win.'

Despair welled up in Reiko's eyes.

"Reiko!"

Miruko panicked, desperately pounding Kurone's body, but he remained motionless, his grip gradually tightening.

Kurone stared at her gradually paling beautiful face, a cruel smile on his face.

He loved this feeling. Watching the weak die helplessly before him intoxicated him.

Boom!

Several figures crashed into the house with a loud bang.

The golden light of the setting sun followed closely, illuminating a tall, thin figure floating in mid-air, his neck and body covered in still-wet blood, especially the large torn area on his chest which was striking.

The black-haired youth revealed a mouthful of white teeth, "Yo, long time no see."

"Renji!" Miruko was overjoyed to see who it was.

"Renji..." Reiko's eyes, which had dimmed, also gradually regained their light.

Looking at the smiling Renji, Kurone's pupils suddenly constricted.

Wasn't this kid the guy from just now?!

He remembered very clearly that he had already been disemboweled and had his neck stomped on just minutes ago.

He exclaimed in surprise, "You... are you human or ghost!?"

"Who knows."

Renji flung a pirate's corpse into the crowd.

Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!

Under the corpse's clothes, unnoticed by anyone, blue-white light surged, emitting astonishing suction. It swept up a group of pirates, smashing them through several tables and chairs before embedding them firmly in the corner.

Kurone's eyes flickered at the sight.

What was that blue-white light that just flashed? Was it a Devil Fruit ability?

After a brief surprise, Kurone, with over two years of experience, forced himself to remain calm and spoke confidently, "Heh heh, even ordinary Devil Fruit users are no match for me."

"Devil Fruit?"

Renji's lips curled into a mocking arc, then he coldly extended a finger. "Bastard, I'll give you one second to let go."

"Heh heh. What an arrogant brat. Remember, you're the challenger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurone felt a sharp flash, and his right arm instantly lost all sensation, blood gushing like a fountain.

"Ahhh! Brat, how dare you! My hand!!!"

Kurone hadn't even reacted when a large hand pressed against his face. His curses turned into painful groans. He was shocked once again.

This kid is actually this fast!

Renji's lips curved into a smile.

With Heavenly Six Eyes' enhancement, high-speed movement using the attraction of Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue was even more effective than he had imagined.

"So, have you prepared your dying words, trash?"

"Ugh, bastard!"

In a fit of rage, Kurone's left arm swung violently towards Renji, but Renji wouldn't give him such an opportunity.

As Cursed Energy surged, a blue-white light illuminated Renji's palm. The immense suction twisted Kali's face into a bloody mess.

At the same time, Renji raised his arm high, and Kurone's head, as if attracted by a magnet, was firmly held in Renji's hand, then slammed heavily onto the floor.

Boom!

This was an attack imbued with Cursed Energy combined with Renji's current physical strength.

He estimated that Kurone's brains had probably been thoroughly shaken.

A system prompt sounded in Renji's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully killing a pirate with a bounty of 17,000,000 Berries. You have gained 17,000 corresponding bounty points!]

[Do you want to use bounty points to upgrade skills?]

[Ding! Detected that Host still has an uncompleted check-in today. Would you like to proceed now?]

"Kid, did you do all this?" A voice sounded.
