Luke traveled slowly by walking using a trail that leads him to the Windmill Village. From time to time he would stop for a couple of minutes not to rest but some trails would lead him to a seaside cliff which gives him time to marvel the night time beauty of One Piece world. Moonlight illuminates the world with countless shining stars reflecting the vast sea making the world look like a fantasy painting.
"Behind this beautiful world lies ugliness within. There are so many creatures who are suffering. Such is the reality of this world."
Luke recalled that innocent boy Luffy who seeks real freedom by becoming the Pirate King. He once said that real freedom will let him eat whatever he wants. He can go wherever he want with his friends.
...
As Luke traveled through in the woods, he sensed something a kilometer away and couldn't help but let out a hearty smile. He instinctively closed his eyes while proceeding to walk forward.
"Lookie here boys! We found us a little prey!"
Five men jumped out of the bushes and appeared in front of Luke. They were holding daggers and swords while their pistols are visibly inserted in their pants.
Luke knew these lawless people from the story. It's not so coincidental he met these kind of group as the Goa kingdom has full of them everywhere. Whatever the reason they turned into savages has nothing to do with him.
"Hehehe! I know this guy! He lived in that Windmill Village nearby. He makes wooden cups and barrels for a living. He should be hunting a rare type of wood to carve."
"Then he must have collected a bunch of money all these years."
One of the men grabbed Luke's shabby bag and examined the belongings inside unceremonously without permission. He said in a disappointed tone, "Only tools for carving wood and a lunchbox. Not a single berry inside."
"Haha! This guy must be scared! Look at him closing his eyes all this time! Hahahaha!"
The rest of the bandits laughed. Their eyes were full of mockery and contempt.
"Well then, we shall enter his house tonight and grab everything valuable inside. If he has a family member, you know what to do next." The bandit that seems to be their boss made a slit-throat gesture.
"Hahaha! Of course! We will be having drinking supplies again!"
"Hehe.."
Luke joined in the fun and also chuckled in amusement. His face had a hint of nostalgia through his smile.
"...."
All of the bandits glanced at Luke in bewilderment.
"Fucking hell?! What's so funny, punk?! Are you eager to die so much huh?!"
"Nobu, you mentioned you know this punk's place? Let's kill him now! This pretty boy is getting on my nerves already." A hot headed bandit ruthlessly swung his sword aiming to cut Luke's neck in one go.
"Just this once.."
Before the sword cut on Luke, he smiled as he mumbled.
All of a sudden, all the bandits halted their moves as if they turned into statues much to their surprise. Soon, their hearts were filled with great horror as they could not even move their body. Their faces were still that of laughing expression but there are no laughing sounds echoed.
"You know when I was a kid, I was an orphan. I do all things illegally. I even killed.. quite a few along the way until I grew up. But a special someone made me realized that being a bad person is not a way to escape reality."
"I'm a good person now because of her... You see. You only need one special someone to make you realize everything and be a better person."
Luke took a deep breath as he sighed.
The bandits felt elated knowing that they still had a sliver chance of survival. No matter what, they need to get the hell out of this place as far as possible to avoid this monster.
"Unfortunately.."
The bandits, who felt the glory of the heavens just now went in to hell in a matter of second. Despair filled their hearts.
"Targeting my family just signed you your death warrant."
Luke opened his eyes and his gleaming crimson eyes intensified. He raised his palm slowly.
"If given the chance, I'll take her here and we'll explore this wonderful world with freedom."
"Just this once... I'll be a bad person again to clean the ugliness of this world starting from you."
After that, he clenched his fist lightly.
Swish! Crack!
All five horrified bandits suddenly got crushed by a powerful vacuum and let them form into a single floating red-like marble. Not a single blood stain left behind. Not even clothes and weapons remained. They turned into a perfect shaped bullet-sized solid marble.
If Killer Bee saw this scene, he might be really thanking the heavens that he did not attack Luke earlier. This guy is a real monster. Who knows what kind of attack he will be facing if that happens.
Luke picked the red marble from the air and marvel how powerful he got. He clenched the marble and it shrank further to a booger-sized marble. He could feel that he can easily erase this marble from existence with more pressure but decided not to. After a while, he flicked the marble into the nearby sea to feed some little fishes.
...
After a while, Luke arrived at the Windmill Village. He quickly scanned for a house that's likely to be his and easily found one. A small house at the corner of the Village.
After entering the house bypassing any locks and everything, Luke was sure that his predecessor lived this small house.
Fortunately for him, he was alone in this world. However, he was a bit speechless when he found something unusual.
"My predecessor is probably a pervert.. Maybe a womanizer."
Luke saw a few women's undies neatly piled in a corner. He noticed that these undies were different in sizes, indicating that various women owned these things.
Luke felt a headache coming after seeing all these stuff. While he's at it, he glanced at the mirror.
"Yeah.. There's no way this guy is a pervert.. I'm even jealous of this guy's charm."
