Chapter 18: Recognize the World
In this sea area, Crocodile is definitely the strongest, the Seven Warlords of the Sea who has the final say. Even the rising star of the pirates is no match for him.
You have to follow his rules, or he won't mind, and the name of "hero" will once again resound throughout the kingdom of Alabasta.
Crocodile couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Humph... The newcomers nowadays are getting more and more daring."
Hearing this, Nico Robin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile: "What should we do now? Should we let Mr. 2 go, or let Mr. 1 and Miss. Double Finger take action?"
Crocodile glanced at Nico Robin, and looked at her gloating over her misfortune. He saw it all clearly, but he didn't say anything.
After all, his relationship with Nico Robin was just a partnership.
Therefore, as long as his bottom line is not touched, Crocodile will at most feel a little unhappy, that's all.
Crocodile was silent for a while and then said: "Let Mr. 1 and his partner go!"
Nico Robin nodded her head in agreement, "If what Mr. 4 said is true... someone who can make Mr. 3, Miss. Golden Week, and Miss. Valentine's Day judge must have some skills. It's safer to let them go..."
As he said this, he walked away from Crocodile, staggeringly.
.....
Three days later, on an ordinary island.
Commodore Leiter of the Pirate Headquarters looked at the pirate ship parked at the port, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The Bloody Hand Pirates finally caught up with me. This time, let's see how you can escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Fire..."
"Rumble...."
Following his order, the cannons on the warships opened fire, and shells rained down on the pirate ship of the Blood Hand Pirates.
"Not good...Run away!"
The pirates who stayed on the ship to watch over the ship were terrified, because just now their captain led his men to rob the entire island.
After all, the supplies on board have been almost exhausted due to the constant pursuit by the navy. We must replenish them immediately...
But I didn't expect that the navy would arrive so quickly.
Fight back?
Didn't they think that without the captain, how could they be a match for the navy?
They rushed off the boat one by one.
Don't think that all pirates are fierce. To be precise, they are only fierce to those who are weaker than them. When facing those who are stronger than them, they will be like ordinary people, full of fear.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the island, the town was bustling with people.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming..."
Suddenly a terrified shout rang out, breaking the tranquility of the entire town.
"Pirate?"
The townspeople were terrified. There wouldn't be any navy stationed on such a small island. If they encountered pirates, they could only rely on themselves.
But how could they be a match for the pirates?
Everyone was at a loss. The smarter ones rushed back to their houses and closed the windows and doors. The smarter ones began to hide their money in the house.
The smartest ones didn't even look back, and rushed in the other direction. They wanted to leave the town and hide in the woods outside the town. They would come back after the pirates left.
Money is far less important than their own lives.
Almost the next moment, a group of pirates rushed into the town. The leader was Bloody Hand, who waved his hand excitedly: "Boys, come on... take all the money and women here. It's still the old rules, you keep the money, and the women are yours... Hahahaha..."
At the end, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, but his laughter was full of bloodthirstiness.
"Tsk tsk..."
"Hahaha..."
A group of pirate minions immediately became excited and entered the town faster...
"Ah...Flee in terror."
"Help..." A desperate cry for help.
"Swish..." The clothes were torn.
“Wuwuwu…Ah!” the woman was in compassion.
Will walked out of a tavern with a dark face. He had just heard someone shouting that pirates were coming. He was very happy because he calculated the time.
The person they are waiting for here should have arrived.
Yes, it has indeed arrived.
But he didn't expect to see such a scene. It must be said that this scene was extremely shocking to Will, who had always lived in a peaceful era.
At this moment, a pirate also saw Will and his companions walking out of the tavern.
Several of them looked at Miss Valentine, a beautiful girl, and laughed obscenely: "Tsk tsk, there is such a beautiful girl here, whoever gets her will own her."
"Hahaha, whoever gets the first shot gets it. Everyone else gets in line..."
Will is not a saint, he will not put himself in danger because of others. However, he will never allow someone to be so presumptuous to his people.
Even though Will had not originally taken a fancy to Miss Valentine, it was an indisputable fact that she was now a member of his ship.
so...
Will punched the pirate who was rushing towards him.
The Eight-punch attack is launched.
With his fist as the center, shock waves were sent towards the opponent one after another, hitting the opponent directly, causing everyone's figures to freeze!
It didn't cause any substantial damage, after all, the Eight Punches...are powerful when it comes to direct physical attacks. But, the next second!
"Rumble..."
Anyone hit by the shock wave had their clothes spontaneously combusted, and the exposed skin was instantly roasted into charcoal.
The real damage caused by this punch was not the shock wave, but the terrifying high temperature that came along with the shock wave.
A thousand degrees!
In this world full of monsters, perhaps many people can resist them. However, the pirate minions in front of them are definitely not among them.
One by one they turned into fireballs and fell to the ground with screams.
"Gurgle..." Mr. 3, Miss. Golden Week, and Miss. Valentine's Day couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this.
They looked at each other and thought to themselves, "Their captain is even more brutal than they imagined!"
At the same time, he felt touched because Will was angry because the other party was rude to Miss Valentine's Day.
This shows that their captain is very protective of his shortcomings, which is definitely what a crew member would like to see most.
At this time, Will looked around and found that these pirates were really evil, killing people and robbing goods... and robbing women. Will frowned tightly, he would not let himself fall into danger.
However, he didn't mind being a "hero" if he could, so he said with murderous intent, "Kill them all."
