Chapter 59: Rifles and Slingshots
As soon as she heard this, Nami stood up suddenly: "You still need so much money to go to the island?" It doesn't make sense at all, why would they do it? ”
Nami asked, and Tommy looked bitter, "Of course, it's for money." He knew that the people who came here generally didn't have that much money, and then he would leave these people here, and they would be taken into slavery when they were cornered, or they would be sold or they would be labored to death for eternity! ”
Usopp and Nami's faces changed after hearing this.
Tommy said with a wry smile, "Do you think you're the only ones who are unlucky?" Look at me, I used to be the richest man in this country, and now they have made me look like this. If there are tens of millions, I will definitely hand them over without hesitation, and then take my family to escape from this place of right and wrong. ”
After hearing this, Chen Qi smiled and said, "You turned out to be the richest man?" That Helian guy is really good at collecting money. ”
Tommy sighed: "If it weren't for my family's wealth, my family and I would have either starved to death on the streets or been taken as slaves by others." You're here for the last day of this restaurant, and it's going to close tomorrow. ”
"Huh?"
"Because those who open restaurants have to pay a certain amount of taxes, they can barely accept it at the beginning, but slowly they pay a lot now, and now I can't make ends meet, so I can only close the store."
Usopp looked worried: "Hey, now isn't the time to talk about this, right?" We're going to need 30 million Baileys to get out, so what can we do? ”
Zoro: "Isn't that easy? Shall we go to the docks and kill those soldiers, and then we will leave? ”
Nami covered half of her face: "I knew we shouldn't have come up, the supplies are so small, and it's so troublesome." ”
While the group was talking, a soldier captain came in with a group of soldiers.
"Hey, old Tommy, I mean, are you old man impatient? You've been notified at least three times, right? When will the arrears of taxes be paid? ”
The captain kicked open the door to the restaurant and saw that Tommy's nose was not a nose and his face was not a face.
Seeing the captain leading the troops over, a trace of obvious sadness flashed on Old Tommy's face, and then immediately replaced it with a smiling face: "Yo, the military master is here, what do you want to eat?" ”
Captain: "Shao Tee is talking nonsense with me, either take the money, or I'll arrest you now!" ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to arrest himself, Tommy retreated a little tremblingly: "Master Jun, if you have something to say, you are giving me grace for a few days, this store will be closed tomorrow, and I will pay you back when I buy the store." ”
Seeing Tommy pleading like this, the captain seemed to have a great sense of accomplishment, he seemed to like the feeling of trampling people under his feet, he approached the old man, showed a wicked smile, and patted his lean face with his hand: "I said Tommy, it turns out that you are the richest man in our Silver City, the richest man!" But how did you get to this point now? Ahaha!"
The captain smiled so arrogantly that if his mouth was a little bigger, he could see his stomach.
"Phew!" At this moment, there was a muffled sound, followed by a scream and a fierce collision, and I saw the captain being knocked away by a solid punch and slamming hard against the wall.
"It's a crooked noise! Affected me to eat. ”
It turned out that this punch was rewarded by Luffy, and although he probably didn't know what they were talking about, he knew that the person who came was definitely not a good one.
"Captain!"
Seeing that the leader was directly knocked out, all the soldiers shouted and stepped forward one after another.
"Don't get in the way!"
Chen Qi said lightly, and a [Chong Ling Fist] shot out from his left fist, knocking these soldiers to the ground one after another.
The remaining diners in the restaurant have long since run away, and Tommy is already stupid: "You... You guys..."
Tommy's eldest mouth was speechless for a long time, and at this time, a middle-aged man of medium stature outside the restaurant carried a double-barreled musket with a large group of soldiers.
Originally, Tommy was very shocked by the actions of Luffy and the others, but when he saw this person coming with a large group of soldiers, he was even more obviously stunned: "End... It's over..."
Usopp looked back at Tommy, "Who is he?" ”
Tommy's eyes looked straight ahead: "He's one of the three generals under Helian Coco... Saukel, we can't run today..."
As he spoke, the captain got up from the ground with a hum, and when he saw Shokel, his eyes lit up, and he limped over: "Sho... General Saukel! Someone is rioting! ”
Shokel looked at him contemptuously with a double-barreled musket: "I see, what are you all eating?" Can't even deal with a few imps? Get out of the way, get out of the way! ”
One pushes the captain to the ground, and he loads the bullet.
Saukel, forty-two years old, is a burly man, and his biggest feature is that he has no nose and has two large nostrils. He is one of the three major generals under Helian Coco, a partial general.
He aimed the pitch-black muzzle at Chen Qi and the others, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
The bullet shot out like a meteor, and almost formed a line of fire in the air, rushing straight through.
"Nirvana, Powder Star!"
Usopp loaded three times more gunpowder than before, pulled the slingshot, and headed towards each other with no less momentum than bullets.
"Boom!" The bullet collided with the lead bullet wrapped in gunpowder, and there was a roar in the air like a small bomb.
Saukel's armament was not an ordinary musket, but a special double-barreled rifle imported from the West Sea, and its barrel material was more than 20 times more heat-resistant than ordinary ones. Its bullets are not black powder used for ordinary bullets, but yellow powder, which is more powerful.
You can actually use a slingshot to shoot the same power as a bullet, what the hell is this guy...
A smoke screen came out of the muzzle of the gun, and the smell of gunpowder was almost all in the air, and Shokel couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After muttering for a while, I saw that a few soldiers next to me suddenly changed their faces: "Will... General..."
"What's wrong?"
"That's... Those two people are the two people who are newly issued by the East China Sea. ”
Everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on Luffy's Chenqi and the two people.
Captain, Monchi M. D. Luffy, a bounty of 30 million Bailey! Vice Captain, Chen Qi, 40 million Bailey!!
"The Straw Hats who have repeatedly defeated the pirates of the East China Sea..."
At this time, Shokel also had a look of sudden realization, and then his face showed a ruthless face: "No matter who they are, those who dare to oppose Helian Guo will let him die without a place to be buried!" ”
General Shokel gave the order, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey, and they rushed forward with swords and swords.
Sanji took a puff of cigarette and ground with his feet, bearing the brunt of the attack: "Kick the upper thigh meat!" ”
I saw his hands on the ground, his feet dancing like windmills, knocking the soldiers into the air...
