《Diamond Jozu (English)》Chapter thirteen: Diamond Jozu
Advertisement
...
After getting off the ship, Robin put on her green coat and silently followed Joz and the others.
She accepted Joz's invitation because she wanted to learn more about Joz while remaining in the shadow of a pirate who is very likely to be famous.
She gave the impression of doing nothing but in real life; she observed with her powers what surrounded her.
And she had already discovered some crisp information.
Bounty hunters had already spotted their pirate group.
Logically, Joz and his crew were new to piracy, which was perfect for veteran bounty hunters. As with Whiskey Peak, veteran bounty hunters knew that a pirate party's early bounties did not indicate its power. If it had been a 50 million old pirate, they would have hesitated, but Joz was new. He just had a massacre that offended the noble families greatly.
..
"Is the one ?"
In the corner of a house not far from Joz's group, a tall, blond man with pistols at his waist while holding a bounty said excitedly.
Beside him, another bald and obese man who seemed to know him replied: "Hahahaha, I did not expect to have a big bonus on this small island."
The two bounty hunters showed the bounty to other hunters on their team. They were more excited than anything else. They knew that Joz's reward was simply due to a massacre of civilians and influential people.
By this time, a slew of bounty hunters was already surrounding Joz and his crew, and more continued to arrive.
Almost all of the bounty hunters (or just the stingy people) had rushed to Joz.
In the eyes of these people, Joz was simply a murderer.
Especially since Joz's boat was worth even more than Joz's bounty, the diamond parts gave an impression of luxury.

For many, Joz + his ship was worth around 300 million Berry (minimum).
With this sum, they will be able to live such a comfortable life.
"Go," The bald man said to his group. They had already hunted a group of a pirate who had a bounty of 30 million.
While this group decided to act, an eye and an ear were on the wall next door.
..
Robin advanced to the same level as Joz and informed him of the bounty hunters around them.
"HAHAHA, thank you for your hard work," Joz said with a smile.
Robin nodded and continued to follow him, and she wasn't exactly surprised at Joz's reaction. She knew very few people on West Blue could hurt him.
Joz knew his bounty would be coveted by bounty hunters, especially a new one like him.
Of course, Joz's reaction was not shared with his crew following him. They all had pale faces, and they looked like a bunch of vampires.
..
With this, Joz made his purchases as the bounty hunters gathered around them, biding their time to attack.
'With this, we will be able to destroy the Bena family,' thought Joz as he looked at what he had bought for himself and his crew.
If it had been the Capone family, Joz would have prepared a lot more. Still, the Bena family wasn't that powerful (4 families vs. the Capone family, and the Capone family won).
Especially since Joz was confident of his strength, after all, he had a mid-level physique (optimistic that for the Bena family, not for Capone).
[Ding! mission triggered 'Kill the Killer,' reward: Demonic Fruit Pill G1, 25 HP]
[Kill the Killer: kill the bounty hunters]
'HAHAHA, I will be able to improve myself' Joz was glad to see that he had triggered a new mission, especially since he was going to kill them anyway.

The hunters hunted, as they say.
When Joz and his crew left the trading area, the bounty hunters tracked them down.
"David brings the crew to the ship. I take care of the rest," said Joz with a smile.
"No worries, captain" his crew rushed to the nearby ship. The bounty hunters were amazed to see this, then continued to watch Joz. After all, it was on his head that had the bounty.
..
"GET OUT" Joz shouted, looking behind him.
With these words, dozens of bounty hunters rushed to surround it.
These bounty hunters were divided into five groups, but some were on their own or in duo/trio.
It was widespread to see cooperation on a particular group of pirates: you can never be too careful.
"Hahahaha, this big fish was caught by my group," said a man.
"Are you kidding, he's worth 50 million to him all alone, and with his ship a half billion, we will not leave it to you, "said another
The two groups knew each other and were still hostile when talking about money (cooperation in surrounding but for the head of the pirate ...).
The other groups also began to argue over who will lead Joz.
"HAHAHAHAHA, you overestimate yourself," Joz said with a grim smile.

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”
8 131Tools of Slaughter: Story of a Human
In a world filled with war and horror, she was a tool of slaughter. She fought her way emotionlessly through the war for her masters' commands. But it isn't until they die that she realizes how much the people she killed meant to her. ... People say that being immortal would be an incredible dream come true, but they are liars. Immortality is a nightmare. People also say that they would rather have no feelings than to feel hurt. But she would rather feel something than to feel nothing at all; especially when people who care about her die right in front of her, under her own hands. She would do anything to become human. To live, to feel, to die. To be in control of her own fate. Even if it means losing everything.------------------------------------------------
8 158The Collected Short Stories of Necrontyr525
Hey all, Necrontyr525 here! Rather then drown you all in a flood of one- to three-chapter mini-fics, I've decided to put out all of my short stories in an 'omnibus' format, sorted by series and by release date. These stories span my entire progress as a writer-for-fun over the past three plus years, with the corisponding variance in length, subject matter, and quality. Each chapter will get an Author's Note as a sort of forwards. Not nessisarily as a summary, but more to give you all some context for where each short came from, as well as any chapter-spicific trigger warnings. I can't think of any off of the top of my head, but better safe then sour.Comments, reviews, and constuctive criticizm is welcome, but please do recall that these works collectivly represent a great deal of my growth as a writer.Cover by the wonderful gej302! Go and show them some love!
