Chapter 23: Extortion
The additional 1.5 second silence effect of [Critical Strike] did not show any peculiarity when Galen fought against the Steel Knife before, but it achieved a true "fatal blow" on Bucky, a Devil Fruit ability.
The power of the Devil Fruit was sealed in an instant, and the spirit's control over the torn body was forcibly interrupted.
Unlike the real feeling of being powerless brought by the sea and the sea building stone, the effect of this sword slash seems to make Bucky's fruit ability disappear out of thin air, and no matter how hard you try, you can't find the feeling of exerting your ability.
Such a strange phenomenon made Bucky suddenly fall into a fear that was far stronger than before, and even showed a funny expression begging for mercy in front of Galen without dignity.
But before Galen could open his mouth to respond, Captain Bucky suddenly discovered: its fruit ability is back!
He immediately manipulated his scattered body parts on the ground to fly into the air, and escaped more than ten meters away.
It wasn't until he was sure that he wouldn't be slashed by the sword again that Bucky stopped flying.
Before the layer of frightened cold sweat on his face was wiped away, Bucky, who had just curried over and begged for mercy, immediately turned back to Galen and showed an exaggerated smile:
"Hahaha..."
"Evil boy! I see how you can cut me?! ”
"Hmm..."
Galen looked at Bucky's face, which was twisted and distorted like a pie in laughter, and silently raised his left hand, which was not holding a sword:
"You've flown so far, I really can't cut it."
"But you ran too quickly and dropped something..."
"Nani?"
Bucky was shocked:
I saw that in Galen's raised left hand, he was tightly pinching the foot of a strange person...
That's Bucky's foot.
One of the fatal flaws of his split fruit is that the split body cannot be within 200 meters of his feet, which are the only part of Bucky's body that cannot fly in the air.
Galen knew this, so he had quietly grabbed one of Bucky's feet in his hand just when he collapsed to the ground.
"This..."
Bucky's arrogant expression froze on his face again, and the cold sweat on his forehead continued to flow at an extremely exaggerated speed.
Galen confronted Bucky for a few seconds...
Seeing that the cooldown time was good, Galen raised his right hand holding the sword: "Fatal blow!" ”
The great sword suddenly lit up with a bright light of justice...
Then, Galen lightly touched the foot of Bucky, which he was clutching tightly in his left hand, with his illuminated broadsword...
Once again, the parts of Bucky's body flying high in the air fell from the sky like hailstones and slammed into the deck.
"It's over!"
Bucky, who collapsed on the deck for the second time as a part, had already seen his current situation clearly:
His vital point was held in Galen's hands, and not only could he not escape, but he could not even return to the posture of his normal body;
And the other party can easily use the evil method similar to Hailou Stone to restrain his fruit ability, and let him in a divided state become a part at any time....
This is undoubtedly a desperate situation.
The 1.5 seconds of silence passed quickly, and Bucky once again regained control of the split body, but he no longer dared to act rashly.
The casualties of Bucky's minions were not counted, and the few remaining miscellaneous soldiers had already lost their courage and shrank to the edge of the deck in a trembling manner.
One of the two elite cadres was trembling with his pet lion in his arms, and the other was standing stiffly on the sidelines, holding the katana at his waist in the shape of a sword, which could not be pulled out no matter how much the sword was drawn.
The Bucky Pirates have been wiped out at this moment.
Galen gripped Bucky's feet with ease, his broadsword ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Wallace, who had been hiding on the edge of the battlefield to shoot the scene, also had the courage to step forward and give a close-up close-up of the victory of the righteous knight Galen against the sea thief Bucky.
And Nami walked up to Galen with an excited face, and looked at Bucky's head that had just flown off the ground with bright eyes...
"This red nose is worth 15 million?"
In Nami's eyes, the great Captain Bucky had turned into a stack of thick bills.
"yes..."
Galen also followed Nami's words and settled the account:
"With this red nose, we can get a bounty of 25 million Bailey on this trip to Rogue Town."
Bucky's face immediately turned much uglier:
The other party opened his mouth to discuss the issue of exchanging the bounty, presumably a powerful pirate hunter who came out of nowhere.
For the pirates, being defeated by a pirate hunter is worse than being captured by the navy:
As long as they don't take the shit luck and get caught by the Red Inu boss himself, the pirates who are captured by the navy can basically save their lives, and their future food, clothing, housing and transportation will also be guaranteed.
But if they are defeated by the pirate hunters who trade their heads for bounties, then nine out of ten pirates are dead...
“......”
Nami understood something from Bucky's suddenly changing expression.
She rubbed her smooth and slender chin with her hand, and a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in her eyes:
"Galen, if you go to Rogue Town to exchange the bounty..."
"Do you think we should take the lead or lead people?"
"Huh?"
Galen was slightly stunned.
Bucky was so frightened that the cold sweat on his forehead instantly increased a layer, and he was even more busy flying his head in front of Nami and laughed flatteringly:
"Pretty Miss!"
"Take people! Just bring someone! ”
"My bounty says Dead or Alive, and the living can be exchanged for bounties!"
"Oh?"
Nami's pale orange pupils gradually gave birth to a sense of danger:
"Escorting live pirates for bounties is a big risk."
"This potential loss... Who should bear the burden? ”
Nami's dangerous and cold voice echoed in his ears, and Bucky suddenly felt like he was being grasped by a greedy demon.
He frowned in a tangled manner, and his big bright red nose kept moving...
Eventually, Bucky shouted as if he had made some difficult decision:
"I still have a treasure worth a million Baileys hidden on my ship!"
"A million?"
Nami, who has been stealing all kinds of pirate treasures all year round and knows everything about the net worth of ordinary pirates, immediately showed a smile that was both mocking and indifferent:
"Galen, let's take the lead!"
"Okay!"
Galen also understood the current situation, and immediately raised his great sword to slash at the foot of Bucky that he was holding in his hand.
"Wait!"
Bucky was so shocked that he immediately changed his tune and said, "I have five million, five million Baileys worth of treasure!" ”
"Five million Bailey?"
Nami squinted her eyes slightly, and said to Galen in an even more dissatisfied tone, "Do you think it's enough?" ”
"How can five million be enough?"
Galen cooperated with a disdainful expression:
"Use it to buy a toilet, and the rest of the money is not enough to renovate!"
After experiencing economic activities such as helping the Thai pay for prostitution, paying for their own meals, and purchasing seafaring supplies in the market, Galen roughly figured out the purchasing power of the currency "Bailey".
Looking at the prices of various commodities, the "Bailey" that is common to the sea is almost equivalent to the yen.
Of course, because of the different supply and demand conditions in the market, there are many commodity price differences between the two worlds.
For example, sailing ships for navigation are only affordable on the earth, but in this pirate world, they are as popular as bicycles.
And the cabbage-priced real estate that can't be sold at all in the pirate world is so expensive on the earth that people can work as coolies in the bank for thirty years.
The 5 million Bailey promised by Bucky is less than 300,000 yuan in RMB... It's really just enough to buy a toilet.
And Baki's own worth of 15 million, that is, the level of buying a bedroom...
Friends in first-tier cities can sell a commercial house casually, and they can buy a One Piece Empress by exchanging it for Bailey, and the rest of the money can be added to the Chambord Slave Auction House with a dozen Hades Reilly.
"Phew!"
Lord Bucky was so angry by Galen's words that his face turned pale:
"Five million Baileys aren't enough for you to buy a toilet?!"
"Are you the Draconians who live in the Holy Land of Mary Joa?"
Nami also silently cast a complaining look at Galen:
Even if it is an exaggerated way to intimidate Bucky, the claim that five million Baileys can't afford a toilet is too outrageous...
If there is such a housing price, wouldn't the residents there be forced out of the sea to become pirates?
"Draconian? That's right..."
Galen said to himself a cold joke that could freeze people to death:
"I am indeed the descendant of the Great Heavenly Dragon..."
"Grace ?!!"
Wallace's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Lord Galen, you... Actually, there is such a background?! ”
"Hey, hey..."
Galen hurriedly spoke out and stopped:
"I'm just kidding, what are you doing with pen and paper?!"
"Don't always think about making big news!"
