Kasha, the sword Mr. 11 treasured, was his passport to the world of Barak Works. Without this blade, he would have been just one of the countless elders, mid-level agents lost in the shadows. But Kasha granted him power, and he finally became one of them.
Leading the team of assassins sent against Rodney was Daz Bonz, Mr. 1, renowned for his strength. By consuming the Dice Dice fruit, he could transform any part of his body into a blade, and his skin became as hard as steel. Beside him was Bon Clay, Mr. 2, a man fond of cross-dressing. Mr. 3 and his partner were absent, but Mr. 4 and his partner, Miss Christmas, were present, as well as Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 1's partner. And of course, there were lesser-known assassins, such as Mr. 9, Mr. 11, and a blue-haired girl named Miss Wednesday, who was the princess of this country. She infiltrated Barrack Works to investigate the Dancing Powder case and, relying on her formidable strength, rose to the rank of mid-level agent.
Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine's failure alarmed the Crocodile, and he decided to send Mr. 1 and his team to find Rodney. If they could recruit him, it would be the perfect solution. If not, they would all attack him. The Crocodile wouldn't let any threat survive.
"Red-Eyed Rodney, pirate hunter from East Blue," Mister 1 began, "I'm here to invite you to join Barak Works. If you accept, we'll forgive your past sins and promote you to Mister 5 or higher. If you refuse, then..."
Blades appeared on his hands, even his fingers transformed into blades. There was no doubt that if Rodney refused, they would attack him and kill him.
"Really..." Rodney scratched his head, narrowed his eyes, and smiled. "In that case, I..."
He opened his eyes, showing killing intent in his blood-red Sharingan.
— …I'll take the initiative into my own hands!
He dove headlong into the sand. Mr. 1 immediately shouted:
- Miss Christmas!
The plump old lady quickly replied:
- Got it, got it, enough of this nonsense!
Her words were rushed, as if she'd borrowed a mouth. Her mouth sharpened, a beard grew, and her skin was covered in fine black hair. Her hands turned into claws, transforming her into a human-sized mole. Miss Merry Christmas had eaten a mole-mole devil fruit, a Zoan-type devil fruit that transformed her into a mole-human hybrid with incredible speed. She buried herself in the sand, searching for Rodney.
Mr. 11 felt a huge hand tighten around his ankle, grabbing him and pulling him with tremendous force beneath the sand. Before he could even scream, he was buried beneath the sand.
"Mr. 11, what an idiot! What is he, a pig?" Miss Christmas lifted Mr. 11's lifeless body, cursing angrily. Mr. 1's sharp eyes spotted the detonation symbol on Mr. 11's chest. He screamed:
— Everybody run! Rodney's paper exploded!
Mr. 1 and the others knew much more than Rodney had gathered, including details about the exploding papers they called "exploding papers"! Their power was immense. The detonation symbol on Mr. 11's chest exploded, and everyone retreated, quickly falling to the ground. The explosion left them covered in dust and strange debris. Before Princess Vivi could even get up, a face emerged from the sand. She was about to scream in fear when a huge hand suddenly covered her mouth.
- Shut up and follow me!
With these words, Vivi was dragged into the sand and led to Yuba. As for the rest, let the battle begin.
Emerging from the sand, Rodney brushed off the dust and drew one of the fifty Master-class blades, Kasha, whose straight edge was engraved with flame-like patterns. It was a fantastic sword, far superior to the standard longsword he held in his hand. Holding Kasha horizontally in front of his chest, he stood upright on the ground, facing the agents before him, and asked:
— Who wants to die first?
"You took Mr. 11's coveted blade? Let this girl meet you!" Bon Clay's voice was as nasal as a duck's. In the anime, this character seemed noble and just, and also had a sense of humor. Despite being a pervert, he was quite interesting. But in reality, everything was different! His actions and behavior...
Rodney decided to use his sword. He plunged it into the sand, and suddenly a mole jumped out. The mole spoke quickly:
— What are you, an idiot? You almost cut me! You would have killed me, you definitely would have!
Someone reminded her, and Miss Christmas looked up. The bright blade was already descending. She quickly buried herself in the sand, and when she emerged from another spot, the earth was torn apart by a terrible shockwave, and dry sand pooled in the center.
"This guy treats everything like a game. He doesn't take Miss Merry Christmas seriously," Mr. 1 said solemnly. "To him, she's just a toy, like many of us."
Understanding Rodney's thoughts, Mr. 1 and Bon Clay exchanged glances and attacked from opposite directions. Mr. 1's five fingers curved into tiger claws, and blades extended from his fingertips, reaching out to grab Rodney. But Rodney used Han Shu to parry the blow, creating sparks.
- Have mercy on me, oh, come, my way, dungeon!
Bon Clay used the "Mercy Me, My Way!" technique and rained down blows on Rodney. A figure appeared next to Rodney, blocked Bon Clay's blows, and then vanished. Mr. 1 realized that Rodney was far more troublesome than he had imagined, and more difficult to deal with than any opponent he had faced before. His eyes grew fierce, and he launched a furious attack, swift as the wind, raining blows on Rodney, which he defended flawlessly. Bon Clay thought:
"His strength is on par with Mister 1's. He's truly a formidable opponent. But well, I must use a skill worthy of demonstration."
Taking a deep breath, he jumped into the air and sent a spinning kick downwards towards the ongoing battle.
— Grand Fouette: Memoirs of a Summer Day!
Rodney parried Mr. 1's attack and spun his body, creating a ferocious dragon-like whirlwind that raised a cloud of yellow sand and took the form of a ferocious dragon with gnashing teeth and sharp claws. Mr. 1's attack collided with the Leaf Dragon God and was immediately absorbed. The sand slammed into his face, causing searing pain, and even cut into some places, drawing blood.
His eyes were drooping with fatigue, but Mr. 1, gritting his teeth, refused to relax. He saw Rodney lost in the wind dragon's vortex, and, as if possessed, he spun at breakneck speed, unleashing a hail of blows, trying to knock his opponent off his feet.
"Behold my signature technique, Grand Fouetté: Memoirs of a Summer's Day!" he shouted, drowning out the whistling wind.
"Forget it! Leaf Whirlwind!" Rodney snapped, easily dodging another blow.
A powerful blow, as if fired from a cannon, struck Bon Clay, knocking him off his feet. The enormous bear collapsed to the ground, unable to rise. Shivering with cold, Rodney realized that his Sharingan, capable of copying any physical technique, refused to learn Bon Clay's Okama Kenpo. It seemed that by learning it, he would lose something important, perhaps his dignity.
"So, who's next?" he asked, looking at the audience.
A dog barked, and a plump man swung a baseball bat at Rodney. Rodney easily dodged it, and the bat flew past him, hitting the sand behind him.
"A baseball like that really has to attack me? That's crazy," Rodney muttered, but his smugness quickly vanished.
The baseball lying behind him suddenly began to glow, and Rodney, sensing danger, started to run.
"Damn, it's still a bomb!" he shouted, without slowing down.
Rodney jumped out of the sand, but two mole claws, jumping out of the ground, grabbed him by the ankle, preventing him from escaping.
Mr. 1, his blade gleaming with a cold light, gave chase. He swung, attempting to decapitate Rodney with one blow.
