Chapter 68: The Knight Is Coming
The island is the "capital" of Klick's territory and the barracks of the Klick Pirates' 5,000 combatants.
Galen, who appeared on the docks under the name of "Pirate Hunter", soon became the target of public criticism.
Hundreds of pirate patrols armed with knives and guns surrounded Galen's small sailing ship parked on the shore, and the most powerful Iron Wall Paru stood proudly ahead of the pirates.
And Galen is left with only Nami, Wallace, and... Old man Tex.
"Pirate Hunter!"
Iron Wall Palu shouted: "You are surrounded by us, hurry up and take your hands!" ”
But there was no trace of panic on Galen's face, and not only did he not reply to Palu's shout, but turned his head with great interest and said to Tex, who was still by his side:
"Old man, don't you run after those people?"
Tex glanced deeply at the relaxed expression on Galen's face, and did not answer Galen's question directly, but asked thoughtfully:
"Sure enough, you've noticed something wrong, right?"
"Can't you see this?"
Galen glanced at the group of leading "good people" who were cowering behind the iron wall Palu in the distance, and said with some disdain:
"Those guys were so excited that they almost shut your mouth."
"Ugh..."
Tex sighed and said with mixed emotions:
"As long as they can make the merit of 'reporting pirate hunters', low-level workers can qualify as professional combatants."
"In the eyes of those young people, you are like pie falling from the sky."
The professional combatants of the Klick Pirates are all well-paid and well-paid employees, and they are absolutely superior compared to the low-level laborers who are like slaves.
"Hehe..."
Galen chuckled, frowned slightly, and said:
"I suffer from the oppression of privilege, but I cut my head and desperately drill into the privileged class."
"This can be said to..."
"It's very social."
Galen and Tex chatted as if no one was around, which naturally angered the iron wall Palu who led the team to surround and suppress the pirate hunters.
Palu shouted at Galen and his party in an even more annoyed voice:
"Pirate Hunter!"
"If you don't surrender, you will have to suffer ten times more!"
Palu's voice was very loud, and he shouted the effect of a megaphone in his voice.
But Galen still ignored Paru.
He just looked at the old man Tex beside him, and returned to the question at the beginning:
"Since the benefits are so lucrative, why don't you go and fight with those young people?"
"If you win, you won't have to work in the sea."
"Hahaha..."
In the desperate situation of ambushing on all sides, the old man of Tex actually showed the same relaxed smile as Galen:
"I'm more gambling than they do!"
"Now it looks like I should have made the right bet."
The smile on Tex's face grew:
"The terrifying sea beast that appeared before was scared away by you."
"Yes."
"That stupid cow has suffered at my hands before it wanders around in the sea."
Galen, who came to be leisurely, simply put down the sword in his hand and concentrated on chatting with Tex, an ordinary old man who was too calm:
"Then again, you're behaving like this..."
"Doesn't you look like some ordinary fisherman?"
"I..."
There was a look of reminiscence on Dex's face:
"When law and order was okay here, I was the mayor of the town for a few years."
"But that was a long time ago, after so many years..."
Before he could finish his words, Palu's angry roar in the distance rang out again:
"You bastards!"
"How dare you ignore the majesty of my Lord Paru!"
Galen frowned, opened his mouth and scolded back:
"Shut up!"
"You're making me chat!"
The momentum that was not afraid, and even no one in his eyes, shocked the iron wall Palu was slightly stunned.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Palu finally reacted:
He was the one who brought hundreds of brothers to catch turtles in the urn.
"Damn!"
Palu patted the heavy shield on his chest and strode toward Galen.
Galen finally looked at Palu for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little funny:
The name of Napalu's "iron wall" comes from his solid shield that he wears as clothing;
Among these shields, the two large shields on the back of his chest are the most eye-catching—from a distance, Palu looks like an Oreo sandwich biscuit caught in a shield.
What's even more ridiculous is that there are concentric circles on the big shield, which looks like an eye-catching target.
"Looks like we'll have to talk later."
Galen sighed softly, then raised his greatsword in a strange gesture.
This is not a sword-swinging pose, but a javelin-throwing pose.
The aerodynamic shape of the greatsword and the javelin are very different, and their mass and center of gravity are also very different, so they are not suitable for throwing in this position.
But with the sheer disparity in strength, the influencing factors of these skills are no longer important.
Galen, who has risen to level six, has enough strength to defy an unsuccessful pirate cadre like Ironwall Paru.
Galen threw his greatsword with all his might, and the heavy greatsword literally tore through the air like a light javelin, and cut a perfect parabola through the air.
As soon as the menacing iron wall Palu took two steps closer to Galen, he was frightened by the great sword that flew at high speed.
Palu tried desperately to dodge, but he was dragged down by a heavy shield, but he couldn't make effective dodge moves.
Coupled with the target-like shield on his chest, Galen's greatsword quickly hit the "bull's-eye" with impartiality.
The most penetrating and lethal part of the sword is always the sharp tip of the sword.
Under the sharp stab of Galen's great sword, which resembled an armor-piercing cone, the protective shield that Ironwall Paru was proud of was easily pierced like a tissue paper.
The flying sword pierced through the shield and castrated into Paru's chest and abdomen.
The blade pierced through flesh and blood, mercilessly piercing through the back of Palu's heart, once again piercing the shield behind him.
And the power of this heavy sword is still not yet vented:
Before he could let out a cry of pain, he was carried backwards by the great sword that pierced through his chest, and was finally nailed to the ground like a sugar gourd.
"Ahh
Palu's weak screams finally rang out, and the corners of his mouth were filled with terrifying blood foam.
"Come back!"
Galen looked flat and stretched out his right hand, which was held with five fingers.
The great sword nailed to the ground moved again, and it was drawn straight out of Paru's chest.
By the time the big sword flew back into Galen's hand, Paru, who had been injured twice, was completely out of breath, and the big sword in Galen's hand was still dripping with blood.
"It's really worthless..."
Galen sighed helplessly:
Napalu's strength is even worse than that of the Fish-Man Pirates, and the experience points provided are a drop in the bucket for Galen, who now has more and more experience needs to level up.
"Luckily, there are enough of them."
Galen looked at the large group of pirates in the distance with bad intentions, and slowly took a few steps forward with his big sword.
"Pa, Palu-sama is dead!"
A somewhat panicked voice rang out in the crowd.
There was a commotion in the pile of pirates.
Another pirate standing at the front of the queue and looking like a squad leader comforted in a deep voice:
"Don't panic, everyone!"
"There are hundreds of brothers on our side, and he is only one person!"
Hearing this, the pirates who were in a state of great excitement finally quieted down for the time being, and barely mustered up the courage to face the battle.
Galen is also very satisfied with this.
However, the good times were short-lived.
I heard an even more frightened trembling voice coming out of the pirate pile: "He—he's the righteous knight in the newspaper!" ”
"What?!"
"He's the one who's on a par with the naval hero Karp?"
More panicked voices spread through the crowd like the flu.
Seconds later, the first person in the group of pirates to turn around and run away.
After a few more seconds, Galen looked at the spectacular scene like an apocalyptic escape, and his expression was very stunned.
"The Knight of the East Sea is here!"
"Run!"
They run away without forgetting to give themselves the acceleration buff with a frightened shout.
"Wait... Don't run! ”
Galen helplessly raised his sword to chase: "I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" ”
