Driver System: [One Piece]

Villain Town

'I hate Grandline weather! No wonder it was nicknamed the Pirate Tomb !' Blaize uttered as he walked on the sea. His feet were emitting heat, making him only a few centimeters above sea level.

Looking back, he breathed. Behind him, a hurricane reaching the sky could be seen, raging everything in his path. Had he not abandoned his wooden boat, the storm would have pulled him too.

He was strong but against such a natural phenomenon, he was none other than an ordinary person. Of course, in the future, it will be a different matter.

He had been on a sea trip for a day. One night had passed but he still had not reached the Island designated by Log Pose. As he worried about the predicament, Blaize saw a faint line in the distance.

"That's Island!" He muttered. His figure turned into a calbur as his feet emitted high heat.

It was a normal-sized coral island scattered with vegetation. About 15-20 ships are anchored some distance from the coast due to the presence of pointed corals that can damage the ship.

A wooden bridge that is about one kilometer long is seen extending from the island which is a path for visitors.

What caught his attention was that most of the ships anchored around the island were pirate ships along with one or two merchant ships. That confused him.

Although pirates roam the seas, they would think twice before landing their ship on a ship

Isle. It is possible that the marines are waiting to capture them in one fell swoop.

But here, everything looks very different. 'Is there no sea base on the island? This whole place looks weird'

Setting foot on the island, he did not start a conversation but observed the situation. After hearing the conversation of some pirates, he got a general idea of this island.

The island, named Little Reef, is famous among pirates, villains, and bandits.

There is only one town on the Island known as Outlaw City.

The entire city looked bustling with pirates and half-drunken bandits. There are many street shops, bars, restaurants, entertainment houses, and even casinos to entertain them.

After Blaize filled her stomach at a nearby restaurant, she took a walk on the island to get a strong picture in her mind. He had conversations with many people and tried to get as much information as he could.

After an hour, he got the point in general. This island was similar to the top of whiskey, but was ruled by the people of the underworld who had the support of the Sky Dragon.

That's also the reason why

The Marine ignores the activities of the island.

Villain towns were used as a base to buy pirate looted items from others.

For example, gold, expensive ornaments, treasure maps, unique objects, and even slaves could be sold for a good price.

Instead, the pirates can turn it into a stomach, buying weapons, information, and so on. It's sort of a black market that operates to collect gold and specialty goods.

Blaize had no idea there was such an island in the

Old residents of the city recommend

Blaize to the auction house. This attracts many buyers and lasts once a week.

This week's auction will start in an hour.

This auction is popular here because it holds the history of selling devil fruit once. Blaize sneaked into the auction and attended.

Since Blaize was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, he did not arouse suspicion.

Otherwise, he could not enter the auction house so easily.

The reason Blaize came here was to check the items sold by the auction house, and at the same time, he wanted to try his luck. As a famous auction house, it attracted most of the famous pirates visiting the city.

If he wanted to, he could burn the entire city to ashes. But he won't do that because he's not strong enough to oppose the world government, and there's no guarantee the purge won't affect innocent people.

He was not afraid of the World Government, but he was not stupid to offend them at his weakest point.

After an hour of waiting, the auction began. Like every other auction house, he started bidding with ordinary items and ended the auction with rare items.

The auction lasted for two hours, but Blaize only remembered the faces of the pirates carrying the goods at high prices. What caught his attention was the 'Scourge Pirates' commanded by Pirate Captain Bardy.

They are a crew of famous and raising pirates on the Grandline who often appear in newspapers, recently. Blight followed wherever they went, until now they had destroyed 4 cities and sunk two marines.

If they follow their path without deviation, they will reach

Sabaody Archipelago in a few days. Their total bounty reached 65 Million

Berries, an impressive amount for a normal person.

Their captain 'Brady the scourge' had a bounty of 52 million berries on his head, Vice-captain Mercka Gize's bounty was 10 million while their other crew's bounty numbered 3 million berries.

Brady is a devil fruit user, that's also why his bounty is high. He ate

Noko Noko Mi, which allows users to create and control poisonous fungal spores.

In the original series, it was a non-canon type demon fruit eaten by Musshuru, the younger brother of Wapol.

With Blaize's current strength, fighting against Scourge's pirate crew can be a challenge but that's what he'll do. He wants to test himself.

The only advantage they have

Blaize over them is, the power of the demon fruit Noko Noko Mi will not work against her, the user of heat abilities.
