Chapter 14: Swarming In

In just half a month, the news of a Devil Fruit being auctioned in Mad Hatter Town had spread across most of the West Blue.

Pirates yearning for power swarmed in like moths to a flame, especially those captains of pirate crews ready to venture into the Grand Line. For them, this was an opportunity they couldn’t afford to miss.

What does a Devil Fruit represent? Only seasoned pirates, preparing to break into a new world, could deeply grasp its significance.

On the other han...

Chapter 13: A Gun-Triggered Bloodshed

The blue mask with circular holes was what tipped Mobin off about Killer 's identity.

Considering that Kid was also in Mad Hat Town, Mobin became even more certain.

"Why is he here? To help Kid buy a gun? But that gun… it seems to be the flintlock that Yasopp bought yesterday."

Mobin discreetly observed Killer , speculating on his motive for coming to the shop.

As soon as a customer entered, Sunny put down the auction catalog she was reading, swiftly adjusted her exp...

Chapter 12: The Devil Fruit

The night deepened, and the wine was finished, along with the food.

Shanks and Yasopp departed.

Before they left, Mobin solemnly assured Yasopp that he would cherish the flintlock as if it were his own son.

Once Yasopp was gone, Mobin quietly gave the flintlock a new name—Usopp.

With the night growing darker, Mobin, now armed with a gun and bullets, lay in bed satisfied, gradually succumbing to sleep.

In his half-asleep state, he faintly heard Sol curs...

Chapter 11: Should I Name It First?

Listening to the conversation coming from the shop, Mobin couldn't help but grow curious about Sol's background.

To be familiar with a major figure like Shanks and be addressed respectfully by someone like Yasopp meant Sol couldn't possibly be an insignificant character.

In just two days in this world, Mobin had grasped one truth:

In this age of great seafaring and fierce competitors, there were surely many formidable figures the original story never mentioned.

To find...

Chapter 10: Proof

The sudden arrival of "Red-Haired" Shanks caught Mobin completely off guard.

Despite Shanks’ friendly demeanor from the moment he stepped into the shop, Mobin had initially resolved to stay silent and observe until the group left.

However, after overhearing the conversation between Yasopp and Sunny, his composure wavered.

Guns were an essential tool for his current plans and progression.

Originally, Mobin had intended to obtain a firearm from Sol, but as a newcomer t...

Chapter 119

You’re not the only one who wants to fight Morin, Uvogin!

“Wha-lip-plip?”

Suddenly, Uvogin’s phone started ringing.

“It’s here!!”

Seeing the caller ID labeled "Morin," Uvogin instantly perked up.

“Looks like things have wrapped up on their side.”

Nobunaga stood up, and his aura began to subtly gather.

“Are we heading back?”

“Let’s go!!”

With a loud laugh, Uvogin stormed off back to their original location.

Chapter 118

Morin silently accepted the prop with a slight smile, conveying his meaning through his gaze.

He trusted that Shalnark would understand.

Shalnark gave him a sunny smile in return, leaving Morin with a meaningful look before motioning to Kortopi. The two of them then departed.

Morin followed Shalnark’s gaze and noticed that Pakunoda had left at some point, her figure fading into the horizon, leaving only a vague silhouette behind.

Morin’s eyes flickered briefly. He ...

Chapter 117

“They don’t know we’re here. The assembly of these elite soldiers wasn’t due to us.”

Franklin chimed in, “Perhaps the Kingdom of Mosibia has other plans. Such an elite force could easily conquer a city.”

“It’s like a mobilization for war, but we just happened to run into it,” Uvogin added, scratching his head.

War, huh...

Morin glanced at the soldiers lying dead or wounded all around but chose not to comment.

The three of them walked and talke...

Chapter 116

“You bunch of death row inmates should have been dealt with already.”

“But considering you’ve just finished feasting, I imagine your stomachs aren’t exactly empty. So, instead of a ‘last meal,’ I figure this might interest you more.

“Of course, if you insist on the ‘last meal’ tradition, I’ll grant you that dying wish.”

“No need to change!!”

The eight or nine prisoners shouted in unison.

At the same time, they lunged towards the pile o...

Chapter 9: Asking for a Gun

Red-Haired Shanks...
One of the Four Emperors reigning like a monarch over the New World.

No matter how much Mobin racked his brain, he couldn't fathom why such a prominent figure would visit this run-down shop.

Caught off guard, Mobin failed to respond to Shanks immediately.

Shanks, accustomed to reactions like Mobin's, didn't mind. Instead, he turned to look at Sunny behind the counter and waved cheerfully.

"Yo, Little Sunny, long time no see!"

"L-long time ...

Chapter 8: Visitors

Flower street?
Isn’t that essentially the modern equivalent of a... red-light district?

And Sol is going there for "morning exercise"? With that physique and age...

Mobin was speechless.

The shop opened for business, but it was utterly deserted.

Sunny didn’t assign Mobin any tasks, and he didn’t take the initiative to find something to do either.

Leaning against a corner, he closed his eyes and continued sorting through his memories about the On...

Chapter 7: The Shelves

Morning arrived.

Mobin opened his eyes, his face heavy with fatigue.

Last night, he had stayed up late sorting through information, inadvertently working into the early hours.

After collapsing into sleep from exhaustion, he woke up less than two hours later.

Fortunately, his body had recuperated somewhat after yesterday’s hunt; otherwise, such strain would have been unbearable.

Once awake, Mobin found it impossible to fall asleep again.

He tossed off the ...

Chapter 6: Reflection

It wasn’t that Mobin was deliberately playing dumb; it was mostly because Sunny’s timing for her question was just plain odd.

Seeing Mobin’s look of confusion, Sunny added, “Arthur’s hand.”

“Oh, that…”

Mobin gave her a strange look.

After a brief pause, he put down the mop bucket and slowly re-enacted the dodging motion he had made earlier.

Once he finished, he looked at Sunny and asked uncertainly, “Like this?”

Sunny remained silent.<...

Chapter 5: The Undertaker

Mad Hatter Town, a chaotic hub of vice and commerce, is a notorious pirate haven in the West Blue.

The town’s unique allure stems not only from its lawless nature but also from its deep connections to the underworld. These roots have allowed a lot of black-market industries to flourish, making Mad Hatter Town a hotbed of activity.

The driving force behind this prosperity traces back to the Pirate King Roger, whose dying words ignited the Great Pirate Era.

Yet the true foun...

Chapter 4: Improving Physique

Using a bathroom excuse, Mobin successfully slipped away.

Once inside, he locked the door immediately.

[Hunter's Notebook]

A notebook, black as ink and exuding a mysterious elegance, appeared out of thin air.

At the spine of the notebook, the black tail feather of a quill trembled slightly, as if awaiting Mobin’s attention.

During the initial development of this ability, Mobin had envisioned a sleek black pen as the writing tool. However, creat...

Chapter 3: The Newbie Gift Pack

Eustass Kid.
In the original story, he is one of the Supernovas alongside Luffy, Zoro, and others, representing the "Worst Generation" of pirates. Ruthless and unflinching, he is a cold-blooded killer.

Mobin instinctively classified Kid as a potential target. However, no matter how much he pondered, he wasn’t foolish enough to act recklessly.

If conditions allowed, he’d gladly claim Kid’s experience points without hesitation. But if not, he wouldn’t ris...

Chapter 2: Kid

If it were before his transmigration, Mobin could have easily shrugged off a bullet.
But now...

The cold, dark muzzle of the gun before him felt like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, suspended above his head. Should it fall, it would be the end.

“I mean no harm.”

Facing the muzzle, Mobin immediately clarified his position without hesitation.

The moment the gun entered the room, it was trained on him, indicating the gun-wielder had detected his subtle movements bef...

"You’re lying!"

The man with the slicked-back hair, the eldest son of the Moangka family, was still emotionally unstable.

"Whether I’m lying or not, wouldn’t it be clear if you tried it?!"

Luzurus shrugged, exuding a calm indifference.

After all, he had every reason to remain unfazed.

The commotion quickly drew everyone’s attention.

When the nobles heard Luzurus claim he hadn’t done ...

Chapter 114

He not only couldn’t control his mouth but also couldn’t stop his hands, desperately trying to cover his lips as if they had a will of their own.

Once he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Every face, still pale with fear, now bore an expression of morbid curiosity, as though they were staring at a walking corpse.

“I-I-I…”

The man stammered, struggling to find his voice again and prepare some excuse.

But Morin didn’t give him the...

THP Chapter 1: The Hunter's Journal

“Am I… still alive?”

Mobin opened his eyes, sitting up abruptly, only to find himself lying on a crude wooden bed.

Before he could take in his surroundings, a sudden sharp pain stabbed through his head.

Fragmented images, like fleeting lantern shadows, spun rapidly in his mind.

They were unfamiliar.

Some were clear.

Some were blurry.

The chaotic mix of memories swirled into a jumble, seemingly the cause of the pain in his head.

“I was su...

Chapter 113

Before their thoughts could fully register, a series of muffled thuds echoed through the room.

It felt as though their brains had been struck by a speeding car, followed by excruciating pain. In an instant, everything went black.

Splatter!

Seven vivid sprays of blood erupted simultaneously.

TL: (idk why the MC is playing saint)

With the last flicker of vision they had in this lifetime, they stared in disbelief at the young man holding a ...

Chapter 112 (Bonus)

The crown, depleted of nen, began to search for another source of energy and soon absorbed the faint life force of the overweight officer struggling in the corner.

After a brief, desperate struggle, he could no longer hold on.

The black nen, unable to breach Morin's defenses, gradually dissipated into nothingness outside the protective sphere.

Under the influence of the nen’s diminishing power, the once-glorious crown, said to be one of the world's most beautiful treasures...

Chapter 111

"Just one movement of the Dark Sonata alone is this powerful—what if all its movements were assembled and played in full?"

Morin's mind wandered into bold speculations.
"Could it actually summon the demon king? And if we reverse the entire performance, could it send the demon king away instead?"

He chuckled at his own musings. "Well, thank you very much for such a lovely idea!"

Of course, this was all just idle imagination. The prospect of Morin actually playing the Dar...

Chapter 110

Other than his mouth, the elder prince’s nostrils, eyes, ears—any part of his face with an opening—was stuffed full of the white powder.

“This is the result of the years you’ve spent cultivating it. It’s only right that you should be the first to experience its effects.”

The elder prince let out muffled groans, struggling violently.

But—

Under Morin’s grip, he couldn’t create so much as a ripple. He could only passively endure it all.

Chogelam...

Chapter 109

“Plotting so extensively about that powder, greedy to the core! Eight-nation coalition, indeed…”

“Are you done talking?”

Morin casually scratched his ear. “Is it that age makes one long-winded?”

Under Chogelama's slightly stunned gaze, Morin blew off his fingers after finishing his mock ear-cleaning gesture.

“There’s still business with you later. Stay put for now,” he said indifferently.

Without sparing him another glance, Morin toss...

Chapter 108

Who would have thought that the world’s most beautiful crown, capable of bestowing world-class beauty upon its wearer, required the lives of Nen users to function?

Only by continuously offering the lives of Nen users to the crown could it generate the Nen necessary to shroud the Queen’s face in its flawless aura of beauty.

Nen users were exceedingly rare in the outside world, but for V5 and the Hunter Association, acquiring them was only a moderate challenge.

Though the ...

Chapter 107

Chrollo began contacting Shalnark.

Meanwhile, Phinks and Feitan’s occasional bickering and laughter could be heard nearby:

“Hahaha! So much gold—looks like we can pay off our debts and still have enough for a few extra rounds of mahjong!”

“Do you have a bag to carry this stuff?”

“Nope. Carrying a bag around gets in the way during action, doesn’t it?”

“Well, I brought one.”

Under Phinks’ astonished gaze, Feitan reached into his collar...

Chapter 106

However...

It didn’t seem to make much difference???

After eliminating all the guards on the scene, Uvogin slammed his fist into the iron door of the vault, ripping it off and crushing it into a ball of metal.

With another throw, he sent the iron ball hurtling hundreds of meters away, taking out dozens more approaching guards in the process.

"Uvogin, well done!"

Phinks praised him while crouching down to rummage through the corpses, tossing aside firearms.

Chapter 105

"Everyone is wearing a false mask," thought Luzurus as he sat idly, his youthful face adorned with a casual expression. His hair, tied into a neat bun-like style, swayed slightly as he tilted his head. Though inwardly dismissive, his face betrayed nothing of his thoughts.

While Luzurus was not one for deep scheming, growing up in the cutthroat environment of the Kakin royal family had taught him to distinguish between what to say and what to keep to himself, as well as when and how to a...

Chapter 104

With the intelligence and wisdom of Shalnark, he should know what to do.

As for Kurotopi's ability, it just happens to create a wonderful synergy when paired with Omokage's puppet ability.

In this way, it can be said that Chrollo’s arrangements are meticulous and well thought out.

The remaining Machi and Pakunoda naturally stayed by Morin’s side.

Moreover, their abilities are indeed quite unique and require Morin's protection.

Machi’s ability is a Transmuta...
