[Note: Genos ' hometown was destroyed by a rampaging cyborg at the age of 15. In order to seek revenge, he became a cyborg with the help of Dr. Kusuno. At the age of 19, during a battle with Mosquito Girl, he self-destructed, dying along with her.]
Eric looked at the dazed Genos in front of him and couldn't help but think: 'The system panel's data lacks the physical attributes that everyone else has. Is it because he's a robot?'
"I remember it was in the battle with Mosquito Girl, where he was severely damaged, and activated the self-destruct device to die with the enemy..."
"Oh, you died by self-destruction too?" Deidara leaned towards Genos , making a large circle with his hands above his head, "I self-destructed as well, explosion radius of 10 kilometers… a world-shattering explosion!"
"Ha..." Looking at Genos ' expression, it seemed he didn't understand, but only realized that the yellow-haired guy opposite him also died by self-destruction.
"Did you save me? I truly appreciate it," Genos bowed to thank them. "But I still have something I must complete. Please allow me to fulfill that task, and I will come back to repay you for saving my life."
It seemed that Genos wanted to find revenge for his destroyed hometown.
But in the world of pirates, where would his enemies be?
"You'd better not bother," Eric advised. "You want to get revenge on the cyborg who destroyed your hometown? But this world has no one like your enemy."
"What did you say?!" Genos opened his eyes wide, his previously calm expression disappearing, replaced by shock.
"Hahaha..." Deidara laughed with empathy, patting Genos on the shoulder. "I want to get revenge on my enemies too, but unfortunately, my enemies aren't here."
After saying that, Deidara gritted his teeth, as if Sasuke was in his mouth, and he was chewing him up.
"What do you mean? My enemy isn't in this world?" Genos ignored Deidara and directly asked Eric about the question in his heart.
"Can't you feel it?" Eric shrugged. "This is no longer the world you were in before. Look at this wooden sailboat. Does the world you were in before have such primitive ships?"
Genos carefully examined the Poker Card Pirate Crew's warship, commenting as he looked: "This design is unreasonable. It would be impossible to build such a large wooden sailboat..."
Finally understanding, Genos slumped to the ground, "The blood feud that destroyed my hometown... what should I do now?"
Hearing Genos ' mumbling, Eric stood in front of him.
Seeing Eric 's shoes in front of him, Genos lifted his head.
"If you can't get revenge, then think about what you can do now!"
Genos looked at Eric , who was shaking his fist and delivering a motivational speech.
"Every world has people whose homes were destroyed. Do you want to see those young children lose their homes too?"
"!?" Genos , filled with a sense of justice, felt the fire reignite in his eyes.
He quickly stood up, straightening himself and solemnly said: "Thank you...? Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Darren Eric . They're my companions. We are world changers."
Deidara quietly murmured to himself, "Hm? When did we become world changers?"
Esdeath: "You, shut up."
"Mr. Eric , thank you for your guidance! I am willing to join you and destroy those evil forces!"
"However, we are pirates."
"Pirates?" Eric 's response stunned Genos . He looked at the pirate flag on the Undaunted, and his expression slowly began to change.
He clenched his fists, stepping back with his left leg, assuming an offensive stance.
"Although you are my saviors, I can't just ignore the evil pirates."
"No, wait, let me finish talking..." Eric waved his hands in front of him.
"Enough talking!"
The turbines on Genos ' shoulders started to spin faster, emitting fiery colors. The mechanical body beneath his white T-shirt revealed orange patterns. White smoke began to emanate from Genos ' body.
"Oh, you want to fight?" Esdeath, filled with fighting spirit, charged at Genos .
"Don't kill him!" Eric shouted from behind.
Four steel plates extended from Genos ' shoulders and closed together, gathering the flames that shot out. The turbines suddenly blasted a massive stream of fire backward, propelling Genos ' body forward like an explosion.
Esdeath's saber clashed with Genos ' flying leg, creating a violent storm that shattered the wooden deck.
"!" Seeing his power wasn't enough to push the enemy back, Genos used the recoil of the impact to leap high into the air, raising his left leg. Fire shot from behind to accelerate him as he aimed a fierce kick at Esdeath from above.
"That little strength is not enough!" Esdeath's sword, wrapped in white frozen aura and armed Haki, thrust upward.
Even though Genos didn't feel the cold, the fire from his turbines noticeably weakened.
Genos gritted his teeth and continued to kick down toward Esdeath with his left leg.
Clink—!
The crisp sound of breaking gold and jade rang out as Esdeath's sword severed Genos ' ankle, and the wound was covered by ice crystals.
"Damn!" Genos spread his palms out, shooting flames from both hands toward Esdeath. Using the recoil from the flames, he spun rapidly, curving his right leg outward to sweep Esdeath horizontally.
"Bang!"
The right kick was stopped by a hard ice wall, leaving only a faint mark from the impact.
"Since I can't break it, then I'll melt it!" Genos , realizing the hardness of the ice wall, stepped back a little.
The surface metal of his mechanical forearm split into six pieces, forming a flower petal shape. Flames began to shoot from the back of his fist and elbow.
The intense orange flames gathered in Genos ' left arm, the orange glow even dimming the sunlight. All the onlookers could see was that streak of orange.
"Burn!" A straight flame shot toward Esdeath, and before it even reached her, she felt the overwhelming heat of the fire.
The wooden deck began to burn from the intense heat.
"Ice Wall!" Dozens of layers of ice rose from the deck, stacking together.
The searing flames collided with the extreme cold of the ice, rapidly producing a large amount of white mist, covering the entire pirate ship.
"The biological reactions are still there... The numbers are... She's perfectly fine!" Genos was surprised. "She's coming fast, here she comes!"
"Finished!" Esdeath charged out from the white mist, her pale jade hand sweeping across Genos ' chest. Blue ice crystals formed where she touched, spreading across his entire body.
"Damn!" Genos tried to melt the ice with the flames from his turbines and palms, but the ice had already frozen his whole body, leaving only his head exposed.
Seeing that the battle was over, Eric and the others slowly approached.
"Don't you want to destroy me?" Genos tried to activate his self-destruct mechanism again, but even the self-destruct circuits were frozen by Esdeath's ice.
At this point, Genos could only accept his fate.
"Sigh, you should have listened to me..." Eric had to start from the beginning, explaining the corruption of the World Government, the arrogance of the Celestial Dragons, and the greed of the noble families to Genos .
