[OP]Chapter 12: Scroll of Sealing

Upon hearing Famu's words, Kaminari paused for a moment and said, "Well, let me think about it..."

A man sitting next to him became anxious and said, "Hey, kid, if you killed Andelin, we're the ones in trouble. If you don't agree, we'll have no choice but to tie you up and hand you over to Anderson for punishment!"

"Yeah, that's right!" echoed the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Kaminari stood up, looked directly at them, and spoke without backing down, "If you think you can tie me up, then come and try!"

The people lowered their heads and remained silent, realizing the terrifying power Kaminari possessed. He could instantly kill a bounty worth 5 million berries. Who would dare to challenge him?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Famu quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation. "Young man, please don't be angry. The villagers are also anxious. After all, this is a matter of life and death for us. So please don't take it to heart."

"Okay, but you have to agree to my two conditions," Kaminari said.

Famu responded, "Please tell us."

"Lend me 20,000 beli," Kaminari said calmly.

Hearing this, Vierdan, who was beside them, became worried. "Father, I think this guy is trying to swindle money from us. You can't give it to him."

"Well, in that case, let's forget about it."

As Kaminari was about to leave, Famu reached out and stopped him. "No problem. If you can truly defeat Anderson, not only will we give you the 20,000 berries, but we can also provide monthly tributes without any hesitation."

"Alright then, if that's the case, I agree. I want the 20,000 beli right now," Kaminari stated without any concealment.

Upon hearing his words, Vierdan couldn't help but give him a disdainful look.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately gathered 20,000 beli for Kaminari and handed it to him.

With the money in hand, Kaminari activated the Ninja Shop in his mind and spent 20,000 berries to purchase two Fūin no Sho (Scroll of Seals). He unfolded the scrolls and sealed Andelin's body inside, making it convenient to carry.

For Kaminari, who was now a pirate hunter, this body was worth more than just a corpse; it was worth 5 million beli. In the world of ninjas, there were convenient tools like these scrolls that could be taken to the Marines at any time to exchange for the bounty. He didn't have to worry about the body decomposing and becoming unidentifiable.

The reason Kaminari bought two scrolls for 20,000 berries was that one of them was meant for Anderson.

However, the people were unaware of all this. Andelin's body seemingly vanished into thin air within the scroll, like a magic trick. The onlookers were once again dumbfounded.

Vierdan, who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, couldn't contain her astonishment. She couldn't help but think, "Could this man be a monster?"

In the world of One Piece, with Devil Fruit abilities and various peculiar powers, Famu knew that this young man, Kaminari, must possess some kind of special ability.

"Aren't you making two requests? What about the other one?" Famu asked.

"Help me pay for the meal," Kaminari said.

After helping Kaminari pay for the meal, Famu said, "...Since you've come from afar and probably have nowhere to stay, if you don't mind, you can come and live at my house."

Kaminari scratched his head and said, "Well, I appreciate the offer."

Upon hearing this, the villagers felt somewhat relieved. With the village chief keeping an eye on him, they didn't have to worry about Kaminari sneaking away.

Unexpectedly, Famu's daughter, Vierdan, was very displeased. "Dad, how could you let this guy stay in our house? I'm still an unmarried young girl!"

Famu chuckled. "We have several rooms in our house. We can spare one for the gentleman."

"Dad... You're so mean! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Vierdan huffed and walked away.

Seeing Vierdan leave, Famu still smiled. "My daughter can be quite stubborn. I hope you don't mind, young man."

Kaminari replied, "It's alright, I don't mind."

Famu and his daughter came to Sad Village for some business. Their home was in Happy Village, and although there was a sea separating the two villages, it was only six sea miles away. Taking a boat would get you there in less than twenty minutes.

Out of anger, Vierdan returned to Happy Village ahead of Famu and Kaminari.

When they arrived home, Famu arranged a room for Kaminari. Since Kaminari had come from the open sea, engaged in battle with Sea Kings, and killed Andelin, he was a bit disheveled. So Famu asked him to use the bathroom in his own house to freshen up.

"Thank you."

Although Famu intended to use Kaminari to defeat Anderson, overall, he had a good impression of Kaminari. As a result, Kaminari didn't need to be overly polite to him.

Entering the bathroom, Kaminari undressed and immersed himself in the bathtub.

Washing away the dust, feeling light in body and mind,

The bathtub is not meant for whales in the sea.

How can a true dragon be confined to a mere pond?

A hero must traverse both land and water!

Even while taking a bath, Kaminari didn't forget to inspire himself with fiery motivation. Just as he stood up, the bathroom door suddenly opened!

"AHH!" A piercing scream echoed, and a young girl covered her face and ran out, loudly cursing, "You scoundrel! Filthy rogue! Pervert!"

Who else could it be but Vierdan?

Vierdan had returned home first, so she had no idea that there was a man in the bathroom.

Kaminari stood up naked, and she saw everything!

He had a big sweatdrop on his head: Did I have to be seen by her? Is her reaction necessary?

But it's also my fault for forgetting to lock the door when entering the bathroom...

In the following days, Vierdan never gave Kaminari a good look. Her impression of him was that he not only had no sense of propriety but was also an exhibitionist. 

'So what if he defeated Anderlin? Anderson is much stronger than his brother. You probably won't even know how you died!'

The villagers of Happy Village also learned about Kaminari killing Andelin, and everyone began to discuss it.

"Are you saying that weak-looking kid killed Andelin?"

"How is that possible?"

"Hey, isn't that the point? Even if he killed Anderlin, would his brother spare us?"

"Anderson will surely slaughter the village!"

"Killing Andelin, can't our 'protector' Mile do that too?"

"Doesn't that guy know what it means to settle scores later?"

"He's just an outsider, he won't care about our lives!"

"This kid has brought so much disaster to our village!"

"He's a harbinger of calamity..."

Rumors spread throughout the village, and some who were afraid of facing Anderson's brutal retaliation chose to flee.

In response to the village's discussions, Famu chose to trust Kaminari unconditionally. "Don't worry, everyone. I have seen this young man's strength, and it's beyond your imagination."

To this, the "Guardian" Mile said, "Village chief, you didn't bring in a scammer, did you?"

PS: Vierdan is a Jade Beauty no doubt. Lol
