《Diamond Jozu (English)》Chapter twelve: Diamond Jozu

...
After getting used to this ship, Joz encountered a new problem: money. He had to buy furniture for his boat and other things, so he was in dire need of money. He had no base on him like his crew, and the money had already been taken on the old ship.
There were only a few thousand Berries.
In addition, the food was starting to dwindle rapidly.
Seeing Joz thinking about money, Robin pulled out a stack of bags (~ 10/15); each bag was worth at least 10,000 Berry. So there was more than 1,000,000 Berry in all.
The crew looked at Robin in admiration. The captain was right to frame her; she was solving the problems one after the other.
'Long live Robin,' some members thought.
..
"Captain, where are we going?" David asked. They were now very far from the kingdom of Prek, and it was time to determine the next island.
Joz wanted to complete his revenge mission as quickly as possible, so he asked Robin about this family.
"I heard that the headquarters of the Bena family was on Uruk Island," Robin said, frowning slightly.
Fortunately, she had a good memory since she was little; otherwise, she wouldn't give such information.
Joz was immediately delighted and asked David if there was a card onboard.
"Yes, captain!" David quickly pulled out the map he had taken from the old boat.
Of course, the map was simplified, but there were still most of the surrounding islands.
Joz found the island robin talked about and asked, "David, are we far from Uruk Island?"
"No, the island is not very far."
"Very well, let's go to the island from now on," Joz said.
With the speed of the Diamond Rusher, they will arrive faster than expected.

"Heard captain," David replied, heading for the rudder.
David was excited to be driving such a big ship.
The ship's sails had swelled, and it accelerated with speed five times faster than the previous ship.
..
They had decided to stop over on a nearby island, so they could buy whatever they needed.
After a good night's rest, the next day, the Diamond Rusher continued to sail the seas with panache.
In the air, the bird giving the news gave the newspaper to Robin.
In the newspaper, Robin saw that the navy had published a new bounty.
The bounty of a certain Joz: After all, the kingdom of Prek had been in impossible chaos; more than a thousand people had died (including the nobles or people of high rank). This affair had a tremendous impact on the kingdom's future (There were foreign nobles and others with deep 'backgrounds').
"Captain, you have a bounty on your head; it's 50 million Berry," Robin said.
"That 50 million Berry?" Joz asked darkly. This sea was not East Blue, so there were several pirates with a bounty of 50 million. He thought that with this massacre and the pressure from the various nobles, the navy would put in at least 70 million.
At West Blue, the highest bounty (active pirate) was around 90 million Berry.
But what Joz had forgotten was that this bonus was his first. It was, therefore, really very high for a first premium.
To get a high bounty, there are two ways:
- power: the navy increases the premium because it seems that the person is powerful and therefore dangerous (example: Luffy)
- murder: the navy increases your bonus if you commit a lot of atrocity towards civilians (example: Kidd)
For Joz, this was the second option. More than 1000 murders in a few hours. For the navy, it was a severe crime (especially with the pressure of the nobles).

Although his strength was good, after all, he only had to face simple gladiators and civilians, so the navy didn't feel threatened.
..
"Captain, there is an island; would you like to go?" David shouted, holding the monocular.
"Let's go," said Joz, he had to refuel, and this island was going downhill.
As the ship moved forward, the island became more apparent, and they could see that it was small, and there seemed to be only one town.
After entering the harbor, Joz could see that there were plenty of other boats moored. Most were merchant ships, and workers could be seen moving goods.
Eight people had been left on the boat to watch him, and Joz went into town with the rest of the crew.
The city was quite large (relative to the island) and seemed prosperous. Many stores were perfect for Joz, who wanted to 'stock up' (= buy) the missing things.

8 71Nameless Hypocrite
"Bastard, surrender yourself!" "You think you can escape our encirclement?!" "An omnicidal fiend like you can only atone in death!" Despite his precarious situation, a young man ignored the union's provocations. His violet robe was in tatters, showing the incredible number of attacks he received, yet there was no sign of injury. Noticing the light smile tugging at his lips, the pursuing heroes warily watched him, cautious of a final attack. It was only by working together that they could corner a monster like him. An arrow pierced the air, beelining towards the young man. A malicious gleam revealed itself in his eyes; he unsheathed his sword, a long, curved blade, and deflected the projectile, spiking it into the ground. The archer's eyes widened before being split in two. He died suddenly and indignantly. The group backed away; their former confidence diminished greatly by the invisible counter. It was then that the young man sighed, his voice full of lament and self-pity. "Being a saint truly is difficult, even the world cannot understand my righteous actions." The expressions of the surrounding heroes turned ugly. Such blatant hypocrisy! Yes, the protagonist is a villain. We don't do morals here. New chaps when I write them
8 177Path of Defiance: Isekai Cultivation
CURRENTLY ON HIATUS High-school senior Rowan doesn’t have a bright future ahead of him. He has no plans, his grades are average and he isn’t exceptional at sports. When faced with the choice to fade into obscurity as a mindless drone in corporate hell or try his luck in a world where mere mortals can battle gods, his choice is clear. Little did he expect that he’d be thrown into an alternate world very much like his old one where everyone he knows is present, but their roles and personalities twisted to fit the cruel world they now reside in. The worst part is, his bully can and will kill him for the slightest offense and Rowan happens to have picked a fight with him. The story is set in a Xuanhuan-based world (basically Xianxia, but extended to include Western concepts). This story is also posted on Neovel. Cover Art from Asviloka's Free Cover thread.

8 166After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
