"Brother Ren, since this captain is rather fierce, she's imprisoned alone in a closed cell."
"Open the door, I'll go in and take a look!"
"It looks scary. Brother Ren, although you're strong, there's no need to make your vision uncomfortable. Are you sure you want to see her?"
"Open it."
"Okay, Brother Ren, don't say I didn't warn you. Don't blame us if you get scared."
There was a slight sound as the cell door opened. Ren then saw the huge figure sitting on a pile of weeds with iron chains tied to her feet. Even though he was mentally prepared, his heart still tightened when he saw her.
This terrifying pirate captain turned out to be Alvida, the very same Alvida who hadn't yet eaten the Sube Sube no Mi(Slip-Slip Devil Fruit) .
Oh, I'm so tired! It would have been fine to deal with a bearded uncle, but why does it have to be Alvida? Most importantly, how did she end up here? Although the comics don't explain where she went after being beaten by Luffy, she shouldn't be in this prison. If she wanted to come here, she should have eaten the Sube Sube no Mi(Slip-Slip Devil Fruit) first!
Ren held his forehead, feeling that this plot was a bit unreasonable.
"Brother Ren, are you okay?" Seeing Ren's reaction, the two soldiers were shocked, thinking he was dizzy from fright.
"I'm fine, just a little surprised. She should have a mace, right?" Ren shook his head, glanced at Alvida, and decided to use her to improve his strength. After all, even though she looked a bit scary now, she would become a beauty after some 'changes' in the future—and one with the "slippery" attribute, which was a dream for many men.
It doesn't matter who beats me, but being beaten by a future beauty brings some comfort to my heart. Most importantly, she's the strongest person in this prison.
"Let's go live and make the audience envious!"
"A mace? She was unarmed when she was sent here. We never saw her with a mace. Brother Ren, what do you need a mace for? I can find one for you."
"She's a bit ugly, so I want to teach her a lesson!"
"Haha, good! Good! Brother Ren, wait a moment, I'll go get the mace!" With a loud laugh, the two soldiers quickly ran to fetch it.
The entire conversation between Ren and the soldier was heard by Alvida. When she heard the word "ugly," her gaze at Ren was filled with fire.
Ren completely ignored her anger and looked at her sturdy frame with interest. It must feel great to be smashed by someone with such strength wielding a mace!
Soon, a mace thicker than his thigh was brought in. Ren hefted it, testing the weight. "Not bad, it feels good. I'm going in. Please close the door. Also, unless I ask, no matter what you hear, don't open it. Otherwise..."
Ren waved the mace threateningly. The two soldiers flinched and responded in unison, "Don't worry, Brother Ren, we won't open it without permission. If you need anything, just shout."
"Yes!" Ren nodded, turned, and entered the cell. The soldiers exchanged glances before quickly closing the cell door.
"Tell me, how is Brother Ren planning to teach this fearsome captain a lesson?"
"He's probably going to use the mace—why else would he bring it?"
"Brother Ren's so strong, he could beat her without a mace. Why does he need one?"
"It's more fun with a mace. One swing could break bones and smash flesh. Besides, that woman's terrifying. Touching her directly would be disgusting."
"Yeah, you're right. But if Brother Ren hits her with the mace, won't he kill her?"
"Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. She's just a pirate. You'd still get the bounty for her head. Who would care about a woman like her?"
...
Ren approached Alvida, throwed the mace at Alvida, and taunted, "Ugly woman, let's see how strong you are."
Alvida, who despised being called ugly, grabbing the mace. She didn't care about Ren's intentions or the consequences of attacking him. With a furious look, she swung her mace at Ren's shoulder.
Bang!
With a loud sound, Ren's shoulder exploded, and half of his body crumbled.
"Wow, that's fierce! That sound must've been from a full-force hit!" The two soldiers outside the door winced at the explosion, almost feeling the blow themselves.
"I wonder where that hit landed. She's huge—did she survive?"
"Brother Ren won't let her die so soon. He's just started playing; he won't end it immediately. That woman is brutal. She didn't even scream after getting hit."
"It turns out that injuries that shatter the body are the fastest way to trigger transformation. A bullet wound doesn't even change my power level from 1 to 2."
Ren sighed, eyes steady, a slight smile on his lips. "Ugly woman, not bad. Keep going!"
"…"
Bang!
The word "ugly" struck a nerve with Alvida. Without hesitation, she swung her mace at him again. She didn't wonder why Ren didn't die or question his behavior.
With this swing, Ren's other shoulder shattered, and his head tilted awkwardly.
"Ugly woman, again!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After three consecutive hits, Ren collapsed to the ground, his body broken and blood pooling everywhere.
Silence filled the cell.
"Three hits in a row. Think she's dead?"
"Maybe. Let's wait for Brother Ren's call."
Half an hour later...
"Why's it so quiet in there? What's Brother Ren doing?"
"I don't know; let's wait a bit longer."
...
Ren's body began regenerating, his shattered parts reforming, and his blood returning. Alvida, already on edge, watched in stunned silence as his broken body slowly healed. Finally, after a full half-hour, she lost her nerve, roaring in horror and slamming the mace down while screaming.
"Ah!" "Bang!"
"Ah!" "Bang!"
"Ah!" "Bang!"
...
"What's that sound?" The two soldiers outside felt the ground shake. Hearing the strange noises, they were initially surprised, then shared a knowing smile.
"So that's why he didn't call for help. Brother Ren's really going all out in there."
"Brother Ren's got unique tastes! He's impressive."
