International Charity Alliance Monastery.
A charity organization in the One Piece world.
But just like most charity organizations in York's previous life, "charity" was just a name and a slogan; swindling and money-grubbing were their true nature.
Rocks' pirate ship docked at the island where the International Charity Alliance Monastery was located.
Charlotte Linlin, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and others rushed in immediately.
"The money-grabbing contest starts now!!"
"Hahaha! Let's see who can grab more!!"
York was the last to land on the island, as always.
He looked up at the magnificent monastery before him, a faint smile on his face.
"Allow me to test whether there are any truly virtuous high monks in your monastery!"
With that, he clasped his hands together, emitted Holy Light from his entire body, and slowly walked into the monastery.
"Mmph!"
Not far into the monastery, a muffled groan sounded near York.
This time, Charlotte Linlin and the others were mainly focused on grabbing money and hadn't killed many people, so there were many survivors.
However, when York appeared in front of them, these people dressed as monks groaned one after another, followed by reactions similar to the pirates on Hachinosu.
They curled up and rolled on the ground, their faces full of blissful and joyous smiles.
"A monastery, huh~~"
York sighed softly.
"As expected, most are places harboring hidden lust and filth!"
As his words fell, York pushed one palm forward, and countless Holy Light Tentacles wrapped around all these monks.
They didn't physically strangle them like snakes, but instantly amplified their pleasure dozens of times over.
"Oh oh oh oh oh..."
The group of monks emitted moans that were indistinguishable between pleasure and pain. Their eyes rolled back rapidly, and their entire brains were completely filled with pleasure.
"Since you have violated the precept of lust, then die by lust!"
York delivered his judgment on these monks.
Catalyzed by the Holy Light Tentacles, the entangled monks began to foam at the mouth. Finally, their brains could no longer withstand the impact of the pleasure; their nerves snapped, blood vessels burst, and they died of cerebral hemorrhages.
Of course, saying they died from "exhaustion" wouldn't be wrong either.
As York went deeper into the temple, more and more monks were affected by his ability.
York showed no mercy, granting them all the judgment of death by lust.
"I am ultimately too kind-hearted!"
"Even when killing, I give them endless happiness before they die. I believe that after they reach hell, they certainly won't resent me!"
Walking all the way, killing all the way.
The group that usually served as the main slaughtering force of the Rocks Pirates had killed fewer people than a fraction of York's count this time.
"Sigh~ This isn't my fault!"
"If these monks were decent monks! How could they die because of me?"
With a trace of compassionate concern on his face, York finally arrived in front of the monastery's Grand Abbot.
This old monk with a white beard lay on the ground like a maggot in front of York, unsurprisingly.
"Hehehehe~~ Female benefactor~ You wouldn't want your husband to know, right?"
York looked down at the old man with an indifferent expression.
Holy Light Tentacles activated, entangled, pleasure amplified 50 times!
"Aooooooo..."
The old monk, who had a lecherous grin just a moment ago, instantly let out a miserable scream.
"I... I can't take it... Female benefactor... Spare... Spare my life..."
With blood mixed with white fluids appearing beneath the old monk, he too died from the judgment of lust.
"Not a single qualified monk!"
York exhaled lightly and looked at the group of people packing treasure out of the monastery's storage room.
Stussy swallowed silently.
She suddenly realized that York's ability was quite terrifying.
A trace of fear also appeared on the faces of the others.
If previously they only felt York's ability was somewhat troublesome but posed no great threat other than bringing them pleasure...
Then now, they realized that once suppressed by York's ability prematurely due to carelessness, they might not even have room to resist. They would be completely immersed in happiness, happy to death.
...
Without the hindrance of the monks, the treasure transportation work went exceptionally smoothly.
However, the monastery's treasure room was somewhat like a cellar.
There was a huge storage space below, but the entrance and exit was only a small opening at the top.
And there was no ladder; entry and exit relied entirely on a lift.
Whitebeard, Kaido, and the new member Xiong, who joined after York, along with the Golden Lion, were responsible for entering this cellar to load the treasure.
Finally, Golden Lion's ability was used to float the treasure out from the only exit at the top.
Until all the treasure was loaded and floated out, and Golden Lion himself flew out, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Xiong were left below.
"Let's go! All the treasure is in hand!"
Golden Lion greeted everyone above with a grin.
"Hey!!"
Whitebeard's angry roar echoed from the cellar.
"Lower the lift! We are still in the basement! You bastards!!"
"They are so noisy, Shiki."
Wang Zhi commented, and Golden Lion froze instantly.
"Oops! I forgot about the three of them!"
Subsequently, a cannonball was thrown into the basement by Golden Lion.
"Bye-bye~"
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
Whitebeard, Kaido, and Xiong, who were waiting for a response in the basement, collectively displayed question marks as they watched the cannonball fly in.
The next second.
A huge explosion detonated. The entire island, and even the surrounding sea, tilted irregularly towards one corner as if tectonic plates were shifting.
Everyone still in the monastery, except for Golden Lion who could fly, fell to the bottommost level due to the ground collapsing.
"The whole monastery collapsed!" Charlotte Linlin complained: "The bagged treasures are scattered all over the ground!"
York crawled out of the ruins somewhat disheveled.
He hadn't expected this to happen at all. When falling, his head accidentally hit a rock, resulting in a large bump.
"My mindset is wrong~ Although rationally I know this is the Rocks Pirates, I still habitually treat it as a normal pirate crew..."
In this team, one had to be careful of the aftershocks of battles erupting from infighting at all times; otherwise, one truly wouldn't even know how they died.
Kaido: "I'm envious. I really want one too."
Whitebeard: "What? An ability? You better choose carefully, because it will stick with you for a lifetime."
Kaido: "You're right."
Whitebeard and Kaido walked out of the thick smoke chatting idly, while Xiong raised a large axe with a face full of fury.
"Hey!! Who set us up just now?!"
York didn't respond. Wang Zhi silently raised his finger, pointing at Golden Lion flying in the sky.
"It was you! Shiki! You bastard!!"
"Oh~ My little Xiong~ So you're still alive! I was so worried before..."
"I'm going to kill you!!"
