Chapter 12: The Golden Thief and Oden

For the forty-year-old Unan, he is at the peak of his life, whether it is his achievements or his physical strength, he is the strongest at this age!

He has a wealth of combat experience that young people still lack, and a calm and steady will to fight. What's more, he is the leader of a fleet of fifty pirate ships, and his command is filled with countless capable people. There is no possibility of losing this battle.

Although there are only three or five of his subordinates who have the strength of the [New World] level, this is enough. After all, there is only one person on the other side, even such a young boy.

In the face of such a situation, Unan really had a sense of guilt for bullying children, so he didn't even use the love knife, and prepared to take him down with his fists and feet.

Unan, who was preparing to go to the great voyage, had the intention of recruiting the young Ren, who had a good strength at such a young age, and if he survived, he would definitely become a great figure in the future.

The two kicked again and won with Unan's more sophisticated and aggressive weaponry.

Forced to fly backwards to reduce the impact, Wren couldn't help but feel distressed about his neglect of kung fu practice. Now when he encounters an opponent who specializes in this way, with his unattainable and elegant kicking skills, it is completely self-inflicted.

Although this blow did not hurt Wren, in a clash between the two before that, Wren, who was unprepared, was kicked by Unan's hardened kicks, and the bones of his calf inevitably cracked.

Wren's moves are fierce and fast, often ending a fight in just a few moves. But his biggest strength is also his biggest weakness, his skills are all close-quarters short moves, if you run into the kind of opponent who doesn't let you get close, you will inevitably fall into a stalemate. In the battle with Mihawk, the outstanding master of swordsmanship, who was forced by a long sword in one hand, was helpless. In the end, if Mihawk hadn't been shaken by Wren's identity, that battle would have undoubtedly been a victory for the Hawkeyed man.

And now Rennes, who has a leg injury, will become more and more unfavorable for him if he can't break through to the front of Unan. Relying on the speed and the power of the eight-punch fist, Wren was able to defeat the crowd, and now Wren, who was injured in the calf, didn't seem to think about how to face thousands of sailors in the future, and at this moment he focused on Unan!

Enduring the severe pain in his calf, Wren stepped on his feet, and with this force, his body was like a thunderbolt, like a fierce tiger, and he rushed away!

With a faint smile, Unan seemed to be very pleased that the young junior had such strength, and in the face of the mighty Dragon-like Ren, Unan still stood still, until the moment Renan approached, Unan's eyes flashed with light! This move is like a bow explosion! A side kick to Wren's injured calf!

He had already observed the characteristics of Wren's battle through the battle between Wren and his subordinates, and the experienced Unan could see that Wren's strength was all based on the strength of the ground and waist, and if the stage of the battle was placed on the ground, this young man might be even more terrifying. But in this swaying sea, he doesn't seem to have learned to [stand]. Therefore, attacking him is undoubtedly the best way to break his offensive!

The fierce Wren made Unan unexpectedly pause, raised his leg to avoid this kick, and took advantage of the situation to lift his leg and slap the yin foot to take the flawed Unan!

Unan, who kicked in the air, was castrated, and with the power of this kick, he drove his body, turned around and kicked Wren in the jaw!

If this kick is implemented, it is enough to instantly kick Wren's jaw! And the impact of this blow can kick him to death! Wren's flirtatious feet may be able to kick Unan's eggs, but Unan can kill Wren!

The ruthlessness of a sea thief is undoubtedly displayed at this moment!

Just as Unan had expected, Wren took a step back and avoided the fatal kick! A smirk of victory appeared at the corner of Unan's mouth, and the kick he kicked high in the air didn't have any power at all! Even if you hit Rennes, it won't be fatal!

The kick landed on the deck from the roundabout like a cloud, and with the force of his stamping, Unan punched Wren who took a step back!

From Rennes' attack to now, all of this has happened in less than four seconds! And the two have already engaged in an unusually fierce offensive and defensive battle in the eyes of ordinary people!

It's time to decide the winner!

It seems that no one is injured in a fierce battle, but the good players on the ship have seen it carefully, and the next move will be the winner!

Bang!!

The dull sound of the blow made the crew smile as expected, Captain Unan had already hit that stinky imp! And the captain's domineering attainments, after a successful blow, the winner has already been decided!

"Huh?!"

Unan did feel the feeling of his fate, but things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined.

Wren stretched out his arms, and he actually gritted his teeth to block the blow of this giant power!

Unan, who thought he would succeed in one blow, found that the distance between himself and this melee master was very dangerous!

Struggling to push away Unan's iron fist, Wren let out a loud shout, and slapped his left hand towards Unan's front door!

"Do you think it's going to be so easy?!"

Unan hurriedly used his left arm to open this palm! And when he retracted his attention from this palm attack, he was shocked to find that Wren's right hand had already reached his chest!

Wren has been waiting for this moment! A violent hammer slammed into Unan's chest from top to bottom!

Stunt: Tiger Hard Climbing!!

"Whew!"

With just one blow, Unan violently spat blood and fell backwards, and the shock wave of the Eight Punches tore apart all of Unan's defenses, striking him one after another! And Wren was unforgiving, a rush to take a step, and then made up for a blow to the elbow of Unan's chest!

"Captain!!"

The sailors watched as their captain was elbowed like a rag, leaving a horrible depression in his chest, and fell motionless on the deck!

"You stinky little ghost!!"

"Kill you!"

The life and death of their own captain was uncertain, and the sailors all picked up their weapons and rushed to Wren one by one! But Rayne's next move made them stop with a cannibalistic gaze!

There was no expression on Wren's face, and he walked towards the fallen Unan, and the black boots stepped on Unan's head like this!

The threat is self-evident, and thanks to Unan's usual kindness to these men, he will not be like those truly notorious pirates, who will commit crimes at will, and each of them is not bad.

This extremely short but turbulent battle ended in less than a minute. There is no magnificent scene of fists raining down and feet in the sky, nor is there a bloody fight, and the bloody development of both sides. Wren even suffered injuries that caught him off guard at first.

It's not that Unan is not strong, all this is just because the two of them are evenly matched masters, and the masters have made moves between them, and the victory or defeat is only in an instant.

"Next ......"

Looking at Unan under his feet, Wren had indeed smelled the call of the Grim Reaper's dinner in the battle just now, and his victory was only narrowly won. However, victory is victory, although he does not have a good habit of insulting his opponent, but now surrounded by fifty ships, Wren has no choice but to use the means of pointing.

The approaching murderous aura around has almost become a substantial blade, which shows that this Unan is very loved by his subordinates.

But none of this has anything to do with me, so what do I do next...... Take this guy hostage, let them give up a boat, load all the gold and take it away. Then throw this half-dead creature into the sea and feed it to the sea kings.

Although it is too idiotic to think in the direction, but Wren, who took hostages for the first time in his life, was thinking about the retreat route and plan like this, and at this moment, a figure rushed from Wren's side!

There was a crunch snap!

In an instant, Wren's fist swept towards the figure! The punch shook against the air, causing anyone who thought Wren was exhausted after the battle with Unan to retract their thoughts.

But the punch finally stopped.

Resting on the tip of the nose of the man standing in front of him panting.

Wearing a greasy dirty apron, his whole body is soaked with sea foam. The boss of Oden, Iwazo slammed down in front of Wren!

A look of confusion appeared on Wren's face, and he said in confusion.

"Uncle?"

"Please!"

Kneeling in front of Wren, the middle-aged uncle Iwazo's forehead was full of sweat, he didn't have the slightest dignity to kneel at the feet of a young man who could be his grandson at his age, and his forehead slammed on the deck!

"Let him go!"

“…… Why? ”

Wren looked at Unan who was dying at his feet, and he really didn't understand why a seller of oden would intercede for a sea thief?

Iwazo looked up from the ground, his somewhat red and swollen forehead clearly visible, and he looked at Wren with pleading eyes.

"Because he's my friend! Best friend! ”

"Huh?"

Wren, who was deeply puzzled, hesitated, and finally removed his foot from Unan's head. looked at this greasy middle-aged man seriously, and the gold thief really had nothing to do with it.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

That was thirty years ago, and the two who grew up together had a disagreement on the road of life. One of them dedicates everything to the cuisine wholeheartedly, and strives to make the most delicious oden for customers. The other man has endless ambitions, and he is not willing to be ordinary, he wants to pocket the world's gold!

Unan looked down on the cheapest of dishes, and Iwakura thought gold was meaningless. The two best friends have a child-like fight due to a difference of opinion, and because of an accident, both of them fall off the rock wall of the coast! Fortunately, it was hung on a small branch that grew on the rock wall to not fall to pieces, but the small branch could not support the weight of the two, for the sake of his best friend's broad dream, Iwazo let go of the branch without regrets, and let himself fall into the sea.

Three months have passed since Iwazo, who was rescued by a passing fisherman, and Unan has embarked on an endless adventure with the life entrusted to him by his best friend! Never went back!

This parting is a full thirty years!

"I know it's a rude request!"

Iwazo shouted in a trembling voice, for this sea, the victor has everything, and it is rude to try to get Wren to stop, even if Wren kills this uncle who can only make oden now, the surrounding sailors will not find it strange. They won't even stand up for such a small person.

Bang!

Iwazo, who has shrunk in this sea area for half his life, has never seen anything in the world, and does not know what courage and blood are, slammed his fist on his heart!

This middle-aged man, who has been blown by the sea breeze for half his life and has a face full of vicissitudes, shouted loudly!

"Take my life if you want!"

“……”

"Unan, he! There are even bigger dreams to come true! So! For the sake of eating so much oden from me, let me die for him! ”

These sonorous words really shocked Wren, he had never seen anyone who was not afraid of death, let alone someone who was willing to die for others. In fact, even Iwazo, who said this, began to tremble violently in his legs at this moment, and his trembling body was a testament to his fear.

However, this passage did not move Wren.

In any case, this is a head worth 60 million, not to mention the head itself, the gold collected by Unan alone is a wealth that can make many people's hearts excited. And now, it's just a commoner who sells oden by the sea, and he actually wants to exchange it all for all this? It was so ridiculous that Wren almost laughed out loud.

But after all, he couldn't laugh, and Wren restrained his smile, no longer looking at the nervous Iwazo, and no longer paying attention to the sailors around him. He walked away from Unan's side and walked to the side of the boat, where a small wooden boat for lifesaving was hoisting.

He's leaving.

Even an idiot could see that this young man no longer had killing intent, and even the good hands of Unan's men, after Wren left Unan's side three meters, rushed out of the crowd, blocked in front of Unan, and protected his captain. A young female ship doctor ran anxiously to prepare for emergency treatment.

Although it was not known whether the young man had been kicked in the brain by a donkey or something, after no hostage threat, the crew members surrounded and silently took out their weapons. The other party is a bastard who knocked down Captain Unan, and injured Captain Unan like that, how can he let you go back alive?!

(Boring.) )

Walking towards the small wooden boat for the rescue, silently thinking about this futile encounter, Wren involuntarily pouted. He wanted to leave, not because Iwazo's plea moved him, but because it was a very simple equivalent exchange, which was unbelievable, but a very simple way of thinking.

I didn't have any money after eating oden, and I owed a favor. Saved Iwazo's life from the Golden Dragon and paid off the favor. Because of drowning, Wren was rescued by Iwazo and once again owed a favor. And now, begging Wren to spare Unan, Wren has repaid the favor again.

Although the value of this favor is disproportionate in the eyes of most people, for Wren, he is never willing to owe any debt to him. His personality is like his fist skills, more fierce and swift, without any mud and water.

Glancing at the sailors who were approaching him, Wren laughed again, these guys were completely different from the combatants in Wren's eyes, and belonged to the scope of cannon fodder. And the characteristics of the eight-punch punch itself are a combination of offense and defense, with one hit more!

The lower leg was injured, and the battle with Unan consumed a lot of physical strength. Even if you besiege yourself are waste, you can drown yourself with a sea of people.

He could expect a miserable end, but Wren didn't think he would be killed by the mothballs. Just as he thought at first...... It's just a thousand! Defeat them all!

"Both...... Stop it...... Let him go......"

The weak voice had an irresistible power among the crowd, and this voice also made Wren snort lightly and turn his gaze.

Although he looks like he will die soon, Unan is indeed alive! This can make Rennes a little unhappy, so far he has fought twice when he goes to sea, but his opponents are so tenacious! It's just a small East China Sea, why are there so many powerful guys!

"Unan!"

Iwazo exclaimed in surprise and tried to get closer to Unan, but was stopped by the cautious crew.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wren cut the rope that hung the boat and let it fall to the surface, and he jumped and landed firmly on the boat.

"Don't let him run, fire!"

"Forget it, the captain has spoken."

"But ......"

"Do you want to go against the captain's will?"

“…… No, I see. ”

Following Unan's instructions, Iwazo finally passed through the human wall and came to the dying Unan.

Even though thirty years have passed, and the two of them have lost their youthful faces, Iwazo still recognizes this best friend who will never forget in his life.

Unan, who was lying on the deck, was breathing with great difficulty, coughing up one or two bloody fragments of organs from time to time, and it was very worrying that the fire of his life would dissipate at any time. And the horrific scar on his chest that was sunken in it made the viewer shudder. I thought that if I put it on myself, I was afraid that I would die in the first place.

The beautiful doctor fed Unan a tube of unknown potion with difficulty, which made Unan's expression much better, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and as soon as he entered the eye, he saw the blue turban cloth that had not been changed in the decades of Iwazo.

He looked at the strange middle-aged man, looking at the other party's concerned gaze, and it seemed that even the pain in his body had dissipated a lot.

"Ah...... You're ...... again Saved once...... Friends ......"
