Chapter 6: Trafalgar law
"This guy is...law? Trafalgar law?"
Abel recognized him instantly.
In this world, they were not just partners in the same church; Abel had even treated laws father for his illness.
This meant that they were, in a way, childhood acquaintances.
Discovering this connection immediately put Abel in a dilemma.
If he remained motionless, he would likely remain undetected and survive.
However, this approach offered no further benefits.
He would have to rely solely on the soldiers to quickly discover their objective and depart, hoping that the duration of the [I am a Passerby] effect would hold.
On the other hand, if he chose to intervene and save law, he would be putting himself in immediate danger, despite his confidence in his ability to escape.
He wasn't a saint and felt no inherent obligation to save others.
At that moment, he was weighing the potential costs and benefits of intervening.
"You've been hiding among the corpses... If you hadn't been so unlucky as to encounter us, you might have survived this massacre."
"Don't waste time talking to him.
Kill him quickly and let's find what we're looking for!"
"Little ghost, blame your bad luck."
One of the soldiers grinned cruelly, raising his gun and aiming it at law.
They felt no remorse for their actions.
They simply viewed law as an obstacle, an eyesore.
Law, cornered and defenseless, gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment.
He resented his own weakness and loathed the inhuman executioners who had slaughtered everyone in Frevans.
"Is this how it ends? I haven't had a chance to avenge this cruel world... I'm not reconciled!"
As the soldier's finger tightened on the trigger, a series of images flashed through Ro's mind: his father, mother, sister, the nuns, his church companions...
However, no one noticed a figure quietly approaching the soldier from behind.
[Foot Strength Strengthening Shoes] instantly adjusted to the highest third gear.
Under the dual stimulation of electricity and magnetism on the foot acupoints, the strength of the right leg muscles was immediately exerted to its limit.
The Secret Meaning: Cutting Off the Legs of Children and Grandchildren!
Abel unleashed all his strength, delivering a ferocious kick to the opponent's groin.
This kick wasn't merely powerful; it was designed to inflict devastating consequences.
In that instant, something within the soldier ruptured.
He felt an excruciating pain in his groin, as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He crumpled to the ground, his face pale, eyes bulging, and saliva drooling from his mouth.
The pain was unbearable, worse than death itself.
He could only open his mouth and let out a silent, agonizing cry.
The intense pain rendered him unconscious, and he collapsed to the ground.
This entire sequence of events unfolded in a flash, leaving the other soldier and Law stunned.
They couldn't comprehend the presence of another individual, and the sheer brutality of the kick was enough to make anyone wince.
Even though Abel had utilized the [I am a Passerby A] coin, its effect was likely diminished.
After all, reducing one's presence wasn't equivalent to invisibility.
However, Abel, having achieved his objective, remained calm. He didn't even attempt to retrieve the fallen gun.
Instead, he hurled the object he was holding at the remaining soldier.
This unexpected action finally alerted the soldier.
Almost subconsciously, he rolled to the side, perfectly evading... a banana.
Yes, Abel had thrown a banana.
"Damn it!"
The soldier erupted in fury, further enraged by his own overreaction.
He had been tricked by that brat!
He immediately rose to his feet, raised his gun, and aimed it at...
"Huh? Where did he go?"
"Get down!"
Abel, having taken advantage of the distraction, had already found cover. He could only yell a warning to Law.
Whether Law heeded his warning was uncertain.
Fortunately, Law wasn't foolish. He recognized Abel and immediately dropped to the ground.
The next second, the banana near the soldier's feet exploded with a loud bang.
The soldier was likely bewildered until his dying breath.
Abel felt a tinge of regret for wasting 5 transaction points on the [Banana Grenade].
However, witnessing its effectiveness was undeniable.
After all, how many people would expect a banana to be a lethal weapon?
While the act of killing someone for the first time wasn't pleasant, it wasn't as unsettling as he had anticipated, considering the circumstances. He had awakened amidst a pile of corpses.
Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the air.
Turning his head, Abel saw Law pick up the fallen gun and, with a chilling expression, execute the incapacitated soldier.
