One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 212 Witch

Profik walked alone on the deserted streets, trying to find any clues.

He found a lot of spider silk - there was spider silk on every building on the roadside and at every corner of the street. However, it has nothing to do with the story of this island. As for the "horse traces", Profik can responsibly say that he did not find any horse traces at all.

It's such an eerie feeling to be walking alone on the streets of a town, with the city silent and no one around. It gives people a feeling of depression and suffocation. Even, it is not as comfortable as the primitive jungle or the naturally occurring no-man's land such as the great desert.

Profik couldn't stand it anymore, so he released his domineering energy and enveloped the entire village, trying to find the breath of life.

This kind of information is relatively vague and cannot give feedback on the specific situation. However, detecting basic human activity is still possible.

This time, Jian Wen Se Ba Qi did not disappoint Profik.

He captured some life forms in the northeast corner of the village, moving in an orderly manner. Judging from the size and movement patterns, there is a 99.9% chance that it is human.

Profik carefully used the buildings in the town to hide himself, quickly came to the northeast corner of the village, and hid behind the wall of a house to observe the situation.

Anyone operating on the edge of a deserted town, no matter who they are, deserves Profik's 120% vigilance.

He soon saw the target in the perception of the Haki. However, Profik did not show up directly, but chose to observe secretly.

This is because this group of people is really a little too weird. No part of these people's bodies was exposed to the air. They were wearing thick long clothes, gloves on their hands, thick turbans on their heads, even their faces were wrapped in masks, and they even wore strange masks protruding forward on their noses. It seems that he is trying his best to isolate himself from the outside world.

It is somewhat similar to Morana's choice, but fundamentally different. Morana was afraid of scaring others and was unwilling to receive strange looks, so he chose a black burqa that was extremely light and did not affect his movements. But these people choose very thick clothes, as if they want to block some kind of harm from the outside world.

Moreover, Profic could clearly feel the fear in their emotions. They wanted to get things done as soon as possible and then leave here quickly.

After taking a closer look, Profik discovered that they were carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was a man covered in bandages, almost wrapped in a rice dumpling, and tied tightly to the stretcher. The man looked extremely frightened. He was struggling on the stretcher and wanted to shout loudly, but he could not make a sound because his mouth was sealed with tape.

The team of men in black ignored the man's struggle on the stretcher and carried him to a pile of wood.

Only then did Profik suddenly remember that he had seen similar piles of wood on the way into the village, and he had also seen gray-black marks that seemed to be left after burning the wood.

The leading man in black said loudly: "You are a poor man who has been attacked by the epidemic, and now you are terminally ill. In order to prevent innocent people from being harmed further, we can only use the sacred fire to purify the disease on your body!"

"May your soul not suffer pain and ascend to heaven, bless us to eradicate the disease and kill the witch!"

Say so, the leader lit a torch and approached the pyre, seemingly intending to burn the man alive.

Just as he was about to throw the torch into the firewood pile, a clear voice sounded.

"Please wait!"

The leader ignored it and still threw the torch towards the pile of wood.

The next moment, a hand grabbed the torch in mid-air, and then thrust the torch toward the ground to extinguish the flame.

The one who took action was naturally Profik.

Although he didn't know what happened, the simple and kind concept inherited from his previous life did not allow him to watch a patient being burned alive in front of his eyes.

Even if he really had an incurable disease, burning him alive would be too cruel.

Profik's obstruction gave the man on the stretcher a glimmer of hope, but it angered the man in black.

"Hey, you guy, do you know what you are doing? This man has been infected by the witch. Even if we don't burn him to death, he will die soon. Moreover, he is now the source of infection. If we don't timely If it is eliminated, more people will be infected!"

Profik frowned slightly.

Through the words of the man in black, he roughly understood what happened on the island.

Apparently, some kind of terrible disease appeared on this island, and in order to prevent more people from being infected, the infected people had to be eliminated.

But what is a "witch"?

In the world of pirates, although there are some shadows of extraordinary power, there does not seem to be a power system like a magician or a witch. The most likely possibility is that the witch is a user with some kind of devil fruit ability.

What is the ability?

Sick fruit? Poisonous fruit?

Or some other ability?

Now that you know the power of the Devil Fruit, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Profik walked up directly and held the man's arm.

Apart from the special abilities of the Devil Fruit user, generally the ability to influence others will not be too strong. Profik's armed domination may not be able to completely defend against it, but it can at least withstand it for a while.

Seeing this, the people in black who had originally planned to attack Profik were immediately frightened and backed away, trying to stay as far away from Profik as possible.

But at the same time, they can't just leave. They were worried that after Profic was infected, he would continue to pollute the village and make more people sick. This is something they are absolutely unwilling to accept.

Therefore, they could only retreat to a safe distance and surround Profik, while quickly contacting the safe point and sending people to deal with it.

"As expected, they are outsiders who don't know anything." The leader of the men in black sighed with regret. Over the years, many outsiders have come to this island, and many of them are inexplicably infected with various diseases. A dangerous disease and eventually death.

He loudly said to Profik: "Outlander, you have come into contact with an extremely dangerous 'source of infection' and are now infected. Stand there and don't move, let the fire purify the disease from your body! Otherwise, you will He will die in pain."

After that, he lit another torch and actually wanted to burn Profik to death too!

"What are you talking about?" Profik looked at the leader of the men in black with an idiot's eyes, "Isn't it painful to be burned alive?"
