With Ope Ope no Mi in Marvel (Resident Evil, Marvel, Harry Potter)

"The fact that subordinates of Donquixote have come is one thing, but even the World Government's slaver teams are here. They've been quite active lately, probably because the slave auction house on Sabaody Archipelago is in full swing, trying to make a quick profit," Daniel Davis mused as he tapped his fingers on the glass table, a slight smile on his face.

Compared to long-standing vices like gambling, drugs, and prostitution, the profit from the slave trade is even greater. As long as there is enough profit, there will always be those willing to take risks.

Human trafficking is something that can't be eradicated, even in modern society. It's a major crime in any country, yet still persists, much less in the world of pirates, where slavery is almost openly practiced.

The so-called World Government slaver teams are not officially sent by the government; they operate under the government's tacit approval, similar to the Shichibukai. If the Shichibukai wanted to engage in such activities, it would be no problem.

The World Government tries to play both sides, acting righteous while allowing these practices to continue.

"Since they're here, they shouldn't be allowed to leave."

Others might fear the Donquixote Family and the World Government, but for Daniel Davis, it's simply a matter of whether he wants to act or not.

"I wonder if I could defeat Doflamingo with pure hand-to-hand combat now." With this thought in mind, Daniel Davis prepared to take action. Before doing so, he took out a thin face mask and put it on. As a light flashed, his face transformed into someone else.

It was a young, handsome face, just as attractive as his own. This mask was a piece of technology he obtained from Hydra, like the one used by Agent 33 to impersonate Melinda in the original series, capable of storing facial data and changing voices.

With this mask, voice actors could be out of a job.

Among Daniel Davis's current abilities, only Polyjuice Potion could achieve a perfect transformation, but the taste was off-putting. Besides, Polyjuice Potion requires parts of the person to transform into, which is why Daniel Davis prefers the Hydra mask.

Polyjuice Potion only allows transformation into real people, with no adjustments, unlike the versatile Hydra mask.

"If I had this mask back then, it would have stunned everyone at the cosplay convention. I think this face should be Cloud's, and his weapon seems to be a giant sword." After his transformation, Daniel Davis conjured a piece of metal, clapped his hands, and pressed his right hand on it, turning it into a black giant sword.

"Cloud's weapon consists of several swords combined. Quite an impressive design." With the giant sword on his back, Daniel Davis took out two Den Den Mushi, calling himself.

"So it goes by appearances. That's good." Seeing the Den Den Mushi on the other end mimic his new face, Daniel Davis felt relieved.

The Den Den Mushi, a peculiar creature in the pirate world, can mimic the person using it. Daniel Davis was worried it might see through his disguise, but it seems the Den Den Mushi identifies by sight, not by essence.

His real identity mustn't be exposed while confronting the Navy, the World Government, or big pirates like Doflamingo. However, his alias could act without fear of repercussions.

On the vast sea, two large, damaged ships floated, their decks littered with dismembered corpses, most cut in half.

"Who are you to dare oppose us? Do you know who we are?" The surviving captain of the slaver team, with a mix of anger and fear, looked at the young man with a terrifying giant sword standing not far away.

As members of the Donquixote Family's slaver team, protected by the family's pirate flag, they had never encountered such a direct attack.

In these waters, the flag of a great pirate is often more effective than that of the Navy. Look at Fish-Man Island; with the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, no one dared to capture mermaids. At most, slaver teams would lurk around, hoping for one to venture out.

Doflamingo's flag commanded respect even in the New World, not to mention the first half of the Grand Line.

"I know who you are. Inform your boss." Daniel Davis had no interest in the captain's bravado; he needed him to relay a message.

The Donquixote Family's slaver teams were formidable, but against Daniel Davis, they had no chance.

"Who dares attack us?" The captain quickly contacted his superior through the Den Den Mushi, not someone who would die for pride.

"Boss, we're under attack!"

"Who is it? Such audacity!"

"So it's not Doflamingo. Makes sense; someone able to contact him directly wouldn't be dealing with this." Seeing the figure mimicked by the Den Den Mushi, Daniel Davis knew it wasn't Doflamingo.

"It's me. Inform Donquixote Doflamingo to immediately stop the slave auctions, or face the consequences." Daniel Davis hung up without waiting for a response and cut the captain in half.

"Death won't come so easily." Cutting in half was an ancient form of torture Daniel Davis was familiar with, and he had no mercy for these slavers.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Daniel Davis's approach was straightforward: treat others as they treat him. This attitude wasn't apparent in his past life as an ordinary person, but now it was.

After eliminating all the slaver team members, Daniel Davis freed the slaves on the ship and gave them the team's money, appointing a few strong individuals as leaders to ensure everyone got home safely. He left with a few Sea Stone handcuffs in hand.

As slavers, they occasionally encountered Devil Fruit users and carried Sea Stone handcuffs to capture them.

No one knows the exact number of Devil Fruit users on the Grand Line, especially with Zoan-type fruits, the most common. Even the Drum Kingdom under Wapol had a user of the Bull-Bull Fruit.

The adventures of Luffy and his crew were just a small part of this world.

"You're brave, but do you know who these slaves were for? Look closely at this!" Unlike the Donquixote slaver team, the World Government's slaver team was more arrogant. After Daniel Davis took down most of their men, they brandished the World Government's pass, as if it would scare him off.

"Of course, I know. World Government, the Five Elders, the Celestial Dragons—just a bunch of trash." Daniel Davis's words left the man speechless, his eyes wide with shock. In this world, the Celestial Dragons are considered gods, the highest authority.

"Too bad I haven't encountered any Celestial Dragons. Killing a few might be fun." Hearing Daniel Davis talk about killing Celestial Dragons, the man's finger pointed at him, his mouth opening and closing without making a sound, completely terrified.

"Boring." Daniel Davis said, grabbing the man's head with his left hand and using Legilimency to extract information from his mind.

He wasn't just talking about killing Celestial Dragons. While he couldn't do it with his main identity, his alias had no such constraints.

In fact, Celestial Dragons have been killed before. Daniel Davis remembered a user of the Moa Moa Fruit attacking them. He doubted they only planned to rough him up.

The Celestial Dragons' invincibility is a facade; if killed in secret, it's just an "accident," like the one supposedly killed in a storm in the original story. Whether it was truly a storm or foul play remains unclear.

It's worth noting that Fish-Man Island is 10,000 meters below sea level. It's strange for someone to be brought there from the surface. The pressure at that depth is unbearable for ordinary people, even for the relatively strong Celestial Dragons.

Of course, it's not impossible. The pirate world, especially the Grand Line, is full of strange weather phenomena. Reverse Mountain, rising currents, and the White Dragon current are just a few. So, a Celestial Dragon ending up on Fish-Man Island isn't entirely impossible.

"The sixteenth slaver team, and there are still more. Almost at Sabaody Archipelago now." Thanks to Legilimency, the connection between slaver teams was clear, and with his Iron Man suit's speed, Daniel Davis had come straight from the Kingdom of Alabasta to near Sabaody Archipelago.

Since he was in the pirate world, Daniel Davis wanted to explore. This journey served multiple purposes: rescuing many captives, training his skills, and exploring new places, memorizing maps for future use of the Gate of Babylon and Apparition.

"It's amusing how the place closest to Marineford is the most chaotic." Thinking of Sabaody Archipelago and the nearby Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Daniel Davis couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I wonder where the future Admiral Fujitora is now. It would be great to recruit him, but I didn't know who Green Bull was when I came across him."

Fujitora, who debuted with Admiral-level strength, was too good a character to join the Marines. However, finding him now, before he became well-known, was difficult.

"Former Admiral Zephyr could be worth contacting, but now might not be the right time. The best opportunity would be after the Paramount War."

Zephyr, the former Marine Admiral, led a tragic life, dying at the hands of his student. If Daniel Davis could, he would change that fate.

As a former Admiral, Zephyr's whereabouts were well-known. He stayed at the G-1 Marine Base, training new recruits. Most of the Marine's high-ranking officers were his students, from the current Admirals to Smoker, Tashigi

, and others.

Given the current leadership of the World Government, Zephyr was destined for tragedy.

"A bounty of 100 million already. It seems the World Government sees me as a threat." Seeing the latest wanted poster for "Cloud," Daniel Davis chuckled. To debut with a bounty high enough to be considered a Super Rookie was quite something.

He had eliminated numerous slaver teams from the World Government and Donquixote Family and taken down several notorious pirate crews. Initially, he wanted to turn in those pirate captains for bounties, but when he arrived, he found he was already wanted for "indiscriminate killing."

"Bloodthirsty Butcher" was now Cloud's nickname, as he left his victims sliced in half, ruining Daniel Davis's plans to have Cloud become a bounty hunter. This almost led him to kill the Marines pursuing him out of frustration.

This incident solidified Daniel Davis's disappointment with the Marines. To the Marines, someone like Cloud might be insignificant, but to Daniel Davis, this casual framing showed the Marines had lost their sense of justice.

"I'll switch identities again soon. Maybe Sephiroth this time." Since the Marines enjoyed issuing wanted posters, Daniel Davis planned to cycle through multiple identities to keep them on their toes.

"The Marines' justice seems like the justice of a certain someone, sacrificing a hundred to save two hundred."

"A Marine ship is coming straight at me. They must think highly of me, sending a Vice Admiral."

Standing on a small deserted island's beach, Daniel Davis watched the Marine ship approach. He knew they were after him; he was the only person on the island.

He could tell it was a Vice Admiral's ship because of its specifications. An Admiral's ship is similar but flies the Admiral's flag.

This ship flew the flag of Vice Admiral Momonga.

"Momonga, a Marine Headquarters elite Vice Admiral. It seems the World Government is pushing hard." It's rare for an elite Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters to deal with pirates, even for a Super Rookie.
