"I'm … still alive?"
Maud opened his eyes and sat up straight. He was shocked to find himself lying on a simple wooden bed.
Before he could check his surroundings, he felt a sharp pain in his head.
Images that were filled with fine scars spun in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Unfamiliar.
Clear.
Blurry.
All the memories were mixed together, it seemed to be the cause of the pain in his head.
"I've been …"
Amidst the pain, Maud was in a daze.
He clearly remembered the incident in the Hunter Association hall where he was unlucky enough to be affected by the power of the wishing machine that he used to beat up the enemy.
He did not even have the chance to fight back and his body was twisted like a rope.
The change was quick and sudden, but the intense pain remained, forming a shadow of death that shrouded Maud's thoughts.
It was as if he could still vaguely feel the tearing pain coming from his skin.
After a long while, the negative feelings brought by the shadow of death slowly disappeared.
He was still alive.
That was enough.
At that moment, Maud finally had the time to check out his surroundings.
It was a wooden room that was less than ten square meters in size. There was a faint moldy smell in the air.
There were visible cracks on the wooden walls and even the floor.
The furnishings in the room were unusually monotonous. Other than the single bed that Maud was lying on, the only furniture in the room was a wooden table and chairs without any decorations, and a mirror that was hung on the wall.
There was a low-powered incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling, providing limited light in the room.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the room, not even a window.
He glanced at the dusty table and chairs and finally fixed his gaze on the mirror that was covered with a thin layer of dust.
Through the reflection in the mirror, Maud saw an unfamiliar black-haired young man.
The young man in the mirror was about 15 or 16 years old. His facial features were not considered handsome, but they were pleasing to the eye.
The young man's forehead was bandaged with blood stains. His face was sickly pale and he looked weak.
Maud stared at 'himself' in the mirror, the unfamiliar memories in his mind gradually became clear.
Under the brief baptism of these unfamiliar memories, Maud endured the stabbing pain, and the bewilderment in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"So it's like that …"
He had transmigrated again.
Furthermore, this time, it wasn't a physical transmigration, but a soul transmigration.
Therefore, he managed to survive in such a manner.
Slowly exhaling, Maud was not in a hurry to get out of bed to figure out where he was. Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly accepted the memories left behind by this body in an attempt to extract useful information from them.
After a long time, Maud opened his eyes, his pale face quietly oozing fine beads of sweat.
"Slave ships and pirate ships …"
Maud lowered his head and muttered to himself as he wiped the sweat off his face with his index finger.
He figured out the origin of this body.
His predecessor was born in a merchant's family. Unfortunately, he was robbed by pirates while he was transporting goods.
On the merchant ship, except for the young teenagers like his predecessor, the rest of the adults were slaughtered by the pirates, including his predecessor's parents.
After that, his predecessor was sold to a slave ship and locked in a room with a group of young people with hay on the floor.
A few days later, the slave ship was suddenly attacked, and a cannonball blasted open the room where his predecessor was held.
The recent memory was broken here.
After that …
Maud touched the bandage on his forehead, and the wound didn't hurt much.
He had no memory of how he came to this room.
However, to be able to escape in such a way, other than rejoicing, Mo De was also happy.
"One Piece, One Piece … Is it the world of One Piece?"
Maud thought.
He was a little uncertain.
But the only thing he could be sure of right now was that he had to start everything again.
Including the results of five years of cultivation in the Full-Time Hunter World, and the Telekinesis that allowed him to quickly gain a foothold.
"If only I still had the ability."
Maud thought silently.
When the thought came up, without warning, a thin black notebook appeared in his hand out of thin air.
On the cover of the black notebook, two Chinese characters were outlined with silver lines – Hunter.
Under the word [Hunter], there were four blank parallel silver lines, and a quill pen was pinned to the spine of the notebook.
Looking at the black notebook and quill pen that appeared, Maud's eyes widened.
There was no Telekinesis, but the ability was activated.
And …
Maud looked at the blank space on the parallel silver lines.
There should have been four words reflecting his [Needs] on the silver line, but now it was empty.
Maud opened the notebook.
What he saw was still a blank space.
Rustle — —
Turning to the second page, the third page …
Still blank!
In the original page, the results of his [Hunting] for four years were recorded, but now they were all gone.
"Is it reset? No wonder I can't feel any 'buff'. "
Although the hunting results were cleared due to the reset, the ability was still there, which was enough to make Maud ecstatic.
The Hunter's Notebook was a growth-type ability that Mo De had painstakingly developed in order to maximize the intelligence advantage of the transmigrator when he was in the full-time Hunter world. It could maximize the transformation of intelligence into strength.
To activate the ability, five steps had to be completed, which were:
Set the hunting requirements → find the hunting target → prepare for hunting → complete the hunting action → harvest the hunting results.
The first step was to record four different requirements according to his own needs on the silver line. The four requirements recorded by Maud were: Telekinesis skills, Heart Dripping Boxing, Potential Qi, and Apparent Qi.
But if it was in the world of One Piece, these requirements obviously wouldn't work.
However, some requirements could be shared.
For example, Taijutsu, Swordsmanship, Physical Strength, Devil Fruit's ability experience, or Haki experience …
After recording the requirements, as long as he wrote the target's name on the notebook page and generated the target's appearance in his mind, he could complete the second step of finding the hunting target.
The third step of hunting preparation was to record the correct ability information of the hunting target in all aspects. As long as the information recorded was detailed, the more abundant the results could be obtained after hunting the target personally.
The ability was still there, even if he had to do it all over again, he could grow at the fastest speed.
Maud was very excited, but he quickly calmed down.
He realized a problem.
Although the Hunter's Notebook was still there, he wasn't sure if it was applicable to the current world.
If it wasn't applicable, it was equivalent to being happy for nothing.
Slowly closing the Hunter's Notebook, Maud said to himself, "It's a good start, but I still have to figure out the current situation as soon as possible."
As soon as his voice fell, a gunshot suddenly came from the outside.
Maud's face changed, and he reflexively rolled out of bed and looked at the closed door vigilantly.
Then, the gunshots became more frequent, like the sound of fireworks in the distance. It was quite a distance away.
Hearing that the gunshots didn't come from inside the house, but somewhere outside the house, Maud didn't let his guard down, and subconsciously held the Hunter's Notebook tightly.
With his current body, if he were to encounter any unexpected situations, he would be a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
The gunshots outside went back and forth for a full five minutes before it gradually stopped, and Maud stared at the door for more than five minutes.
The gunshots just now gave him a preliminary understanding of the chaos in this world.
Holding the Hunter's Notebook tightly, it didn't give him any sense of security.
Because the Hunter's Notebook now could be said to exist in name only. Only by successfully completing a hunt could he obtain the actual buff.
Thud — —
Not long after the gunshots stopped, Maud heard a series of footsteps approaching the door. His pupils shrunk, and he removed the Hunter's Notebook.
Then, he quickly got up, softened his footsteps, and leaned against the wall on the right side of the door.
Without knowing the situation, compared to squatting on the empty wooden bed, it was more advantageous to be on the side of the door.
Soon, the footsteps came closer.
Maud tilted his head and stared to the right, holding his breath as he waited.
Creak — —
The wooden door was pushed open, and made an unpleasant sound.
But, no one walked into the room, instead, a black muzzle stuck out.
And the muzzle was pointed at Maud at a strange angle.
At that moment, Maud felt a chill, and his heart skipped a beat.
