One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words

An old pirate sat confidently, his back straight and posture proud.

Despite his white beard and aged appearance, his aura remained fierce and imposing.

The Red Earl, Baloric Redfield, one of the legendary great pirates of the old era, was a terrifying monster who once stood on equal footing with Whitebeard and Roger themselves.

"Ryder, do you want to leave with me?"

Outside the cell, Lucifer asked indifferently.

Ryder opened his eyes, his expression cold and unreadable. "Don't waste your efforts, brat.

"I'm not like those fools behind you."

"I don't cooperate with anyone, let alone rely on them."

"If you want to conquer me, you're still a hundred thousand years too young."

With that, Ryder closed his eyes again, sitting with an air of untouchable pride.

Ryder was unafraid of death and unshaken by threats. Lucifer's schemes and tactics wouldn't sway him. For Ryder, death was preferable to dependency.
