Back in his office at the naval base, Smoker stared at the broken chair, his heart filled with sorrow. Today had been nothing but bad luck. Nothing good had happened on his way back to the naval base. Getting splashed with cold water, dropping flowerpots, being chased by dogs were the least of his worries. He couldn't help but spit out his drink, choking and coughing for ages. He almost slipped and fell in the toilet, only to have the methane gas explode and the toilet collapse. Along the way, soldiers' guns misfired several times, bullets always coming straight at him. If it weren't for his strength and his Logia-type Devil Fruit powers, he would probably be dead by now, and that bastard hadn't even been found.
On the way back, the soldiers kept their distance from him, even Tashigi kept more than ten meters away. Even so, he still got caught up in his bad luck. When they returned to the naval base, half of them were slightly injured due to various unfortunate events.
"Damn it!" In Loguetown, at the Marine Headquarters, Smoker, who couldn't hold back his rant again, looked up to the sky and cried out in despair, tears streaming down his face. Today's series of misfortunes and his inability to control his mouth were driving him crazy. Whatever he thought of, he would immediately say it out loud. He would suddenly complain while eating, spraying food all over the soldier opposite him. He would suddenly say what he wanted to eat for dinner while going to the toilet.
"Assemble the soldiers immediately and prepare the warships. I'm going to hunt down that bastard!" Smoker roared. He didn't think his misfortune was Wang Han's doing, since it was impossible for one person to have two Devil Fruit abilities.
“Colonel Smoker, you can’t leave Loguetown without permission,” Tashigi quickly advised. “Although I really want to go after that bastard, if you go out to sea today, your warship might even sink. Besides, we don’t even have any news about that bastard.”
"I'm going crazy." Smoker slumped to the ground, exhausted.
"Boom." The next moment, the spot where Smoker was sitting cracked, and a hole appeared in the floor.
"Looks like I'll have to stay away from him today." Tashigi looked at Smoker falling downstairs, took two steps back, and quickly left Smoker's office.

On an unnamed pirate ship in the East China Sea, pirates who had just plundered a village were excitedly celebrating their great haul.
The pirates, engrossed in their singing and dancing, failed to notice the strange addition of a stranger to their ship: a man clad in black armor, wearing a mask, and wielding a long sword. (The Miao sword, somewhat resembling a samurai sword, but with a smaller curve and a longer length; the one Wang Han wielded was 1.5 meters long, crafted using the most advanced technology of the modern world during the Three Kingdoms period.)
Wang Han, who had been located by radar, frowned as he looked at the noisy pirates on the ship and the helpless, weeping woman tied to one side. He didn't hate people who killed, nor did he mind killing innocent people. To him, as long as they weren't his own kind, killing them was fine. But he absolutely despised the act of plundering and torturing women. Even in the army during the Three Kingdoms period, such behavior was strictly forbidden by him. Whether the women were his own kind or from another race, Wang Han loathed this kind of humiliation of women. It wasn't about race, but about humanity, about the ugliness of the soul. Wang Han would never be such a person.
"Brother, which one have you got your eye on? Go for it if you want." A drunken pirate walked over and said, then looked at Wang Han wearing armor and tried to touch it with envy, saying, "Brother, you even managed to snag such a beautiful suit of armor. Can I borrow it and try it on?"
"Clang."
"puff."
"Scum like you doesn't deserve to touch my armor." Wang Han wiped the blood off his Miao sword, glanced at the fallen pirate corpse, and walked towards the celebrating pirates.
"Pfft..." Amidst the pirates' triumphant chant, a pirate on the outskirts was cleaved in two from head to toe by Wang Han, without even being able to let out a scream.
The death of this pirate finally allowed the other pirates to see Wang Han approaching them with his sword drawn.
"There are enemies."
Several pirates, who weren't completely drunk yet, drew their weapons and shouted.
Hearing their companions' cries, the pirates who were singing and dancing stopped. Seeing Wang Han walking towards them and the corpse behind him that had been cleaved in two, they sobered up instantly and all drew their weapons at Wang Han.
"Kill him!" the pirate captain roared, his eyes glazed with drunken rage as he looked at his slain subordinate. Anyone who dared to kill his man on his ship had to die.
"Kill..." Upon hearing the captain's order, the pirates, swords in hand, charged toward Wang Han.
"Scum." Wang Han looked at the pirates who were unsteady on their feet, but he didn't stop. His Miao sword flashed with white light, and one by one, the pirates who rushed over were cut in half, along with their weapons.
"This..." The women, who were bound to the side, saw hope rising in their eyes as they watched the pirates being slaughtered like vegetables.
"You all step back, let me deal with him." The pirate captain swayed as he stood up, grabbed his great axe, and charged towards Wang Han.
"puff."
Wang Han glanced at the charging pirate captain. The same slash, the same result, and Wang Han continued walking without stopping. Even a pirate captain was no different from an ordinary pirate lackey to Wang Han.
"The captain is dead." After the pirate captain died, the remaining pirates sobered up completely and retreated step by step as they watched Wang Han continue to walk towards them.
"Please, don't kill me." A pirate knelt on the ground, trembling.
Once one person was caught in the crossfire, others followed suit, unable to withstand the pressure and kneeling down to beg for mercy.
"To me, your value is not enough for me to let you go."
Unfortunately, their pleas for mercy could not change the fact that Wang Han was going to kill them. Wang Han's figure appeared among them in an instant, and with a horizontal swing of his Miao sword, he decapitated all of them who were kneeling on the ground.
After killing all the pirates, Wang Han untied the ropes binding several women, allowing them to untie the others, and then said, "You can figure out how to get back yourselves."
“My benefactor, can you tell us your name?” a woman asked Wang Han, kneeling down.
"Whether you live or die is none of my business. I didn't come here specifically to save you; I just killed some pirates along the way," Wang Han said coldly, his figure disappearing from the pirate ship.
"this……"
Watching Wang Han leave, the women exchanged glances and could only take matters into their own hands to steer the pirate ship back. Luckily, they were from the world of One Piece; the group of women discussed their options and managed to get the pirate ship moving.

Meanwhile, at the Loguetown Naval Base, a naval soldier holding documents cautiously knocked on the door of Smoker's makeshift office. "Colonel, the identities of all those who died today have been confirmed."
"Just leave the documents by the door," Smoker said mournfully from behind the door.
"Yes, sir." The Navy officer quickly replied, letting out a sigh of relief as if he had been granted a pardon. He hurriedly placed the documents on the ground by the door and ran off in a flash. Now the entire naval base knew that Smoker was having a run of bad luck today, and getting close could mean certain death.
