Chapter 026: Courage to Resist

It's weird.

He had never had any intersection with that guy, so why would he suddenly call himself?

Could it be that the matter of accepting bribes from Aaron was exposed?

But even then, it was the world government that came to arrest him, and it had nothing to do with him......

Colonel Rat thought for a long time in his heart in disbelief, and finally picked up the phone and tried to pretend to be unfazed: "What are you doing, Mr. Brigadier General?" ”

"I want to inquire about something ......"

There was a voice on the other end of the phone that didn't seem to have woken up yet, and I couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations: "Have you received a call for help from 'Housha Town' recently, they belong to your jurisdiction, and it seems that they were attacked by pirates some time ago......"

Housha Town?

Colonel Rat thought about it for a long time before he remembered.

Some time ago, it seemed that someone did call the navy for help, but after hearing that it was Aaron and his gang, he suppressed the matter......

The crowd of civilians......

How did you get in touch with this bald demon king!?

"Ah, it seems like that......"

Colonel Rat kept weaving lies in his heart, and said to the other end of the phone without hurrying: "I have already been to Housha Town myself...... According to them, it was a group of pirates composed of fishmen who destroyed the town, but my warship searched the vicinity for a long time and found no trace of the fishmen......"

Saitama on the other end of the phone blinked, "Ah, that's really weird." ”

"Actually, it's not like nothing like this has happened before......"

Colonel Mouse's eyes rolled, and a poisonous plan had already appeared in his heart: "Because of the typhoon, all the houses were blown down, and they needed to pay for the reconstruction, so they pretended to claim to the world government that they had encountered pirates, and then cheated them out of relief...... This kind of trick is not uncommon, do you think it will be the same this time......"

"I see, I know ......"

After saying this, Saitama had already hung up the phone.

He's in Housha right now.

In front of me is a barren town full of corpses.

And next to them are the two fish people who have just been caught by Saitama, and they are still scolding and shouting.

When they first saw themselves, they didn't show a panicked expression, but asked themselves very familiarly if they had come to pick up Colonel Mouse's warship.

To be on the safe side, Saitama ends up making a phone call with Colonel Mouse.

On the phone, he still lied and beat back.

Now the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive.

Colonel Rat...... Guilty!

"Abominable navy! How dare you rebel against us! ”

The two fish-man pirates who were tied up by the five flowers were still threatening Saitama very rampantly: "Wait for us!" There are still our cadres in the town who have not returned, and when he finds out that we have been captured, you will definitely be killed by him!" ”

"Oh, cadre?"

Saitama glanced at them, "Is he very powerful?" ”

"Hmph, isn't that a matter of course!"

The fish-man sneered, "We fish-people are born with ten times the strength of you humans!" And he is the strongest swordsman on Fish-Man Island except for Leopard Hide! You kind of ragtag navy, he can kill them all in a second! ”

That's right......

Saitama said to the navy beside him, "You stay here and watch them, I'll go to the town and have a look, maybe I can find survivors." ”

All the Navy soldiers stood upright: "Yes! Brigadier General Saitama! ”

Jumping from the deck to the shore, Saitama with his hands in his pockets like an old man.

"I always feel a little awkward to wear that old man's clothes for heroic activities......"

Saitama paced along the road of the town, which had almost turned into ruins, shouting loudly as he went, "Is there anyone? If there are survivors, please come out, I'm the hero who rushed to the rescue news...... Anyone? ”

The sound echoed through the empty town.

After shouting for a long time, no one came out.

Truly......

Since it was attacked by fish-man pirates, it was certainly impossible for people to stay here all the time without running.

Not to mention the problem of eating and drinking, safety cannot be guaranteed at all.

Saitama stood in the middle of the road and scratched his head a little: "Ah...... I seem to be stupid......"

Before he finished speaking, a small head with a wounded face poked out from the corner of the wall in front of him, and he looked cautiously in this direction.

Isn't this anyone!

Saitama happily beckoned to the child, "Hey, I'm here, come here!" ”

The little boy looked at Saitama carefully for a long time, and then walked out, still holding a knife in his hand, and asked hesitantly, "Are you......?" Rescue of the Navy? ”

"A ...... who was commissioned temporarily"

Saitama looked behind the little boy again: "What, are you alone?" ”

"Everyone is hiding somewhere else, and I secretly ran out to find the fishman for revenge......"

The little boy sniffled, and looked at Saitama with obvious disappointment in his eyes: "Obviously, the adults have explained the danger of pirates to the world government, why did you only come here with a weak-looking you, and you didn't even have navy clothes......"

Saitama laughed dryly: "I'm really sorry to look weak." ”

"Uncle, you better hurry back and call more navies......"

The little boy's face was stubborn and firm: "The leader of those fishmen is very powerful, you must not be able to do it alone, while the octopus man with six knives in his hand has not found out about you......"

Saitama was stunned: "What about you, won't you go with me?" ”

"No!"

The little boy's eyes showed bitter hatred: "Those fishmen killed my father, I must avenge my father with my own hands......"

Before he finished speaking, a wheat-skinned blue-haired beauty rushed over at the sound of a voice.

"Children are not allowed to mess around!"

Hearing the little boy's last words, the blue-haired beauty hit the boy on the head with a knife without saying a word, squatted down and said sternly: "If you go against the fish man, you will die, you should know very well!" ”

"I ...... I know ......"

The little boy pouted, and was about to cry: "But they killed my father, and I will never forgive their ......"

The blue-haired beauty shook her head: "What kind of hero is you at a young age, it's just a hundred years old when you give away your little life......"

……

"You're not right."

"What?"

……

"There are countless wicked people in this world, and those who dare to stand up against them are heroes......"

Saitama, who had just been watching and didn't speak, suddenly spoke: "That's a kind of spirit, no matter how big or small the ability is...... You may have good intentions, but this spirit of rebellion against evil cannot be lost, and everyone is looking forward to the appearance of a hero who can solve the problem and is indifferent, so if the hero never appears, will you always be submissive and let others decide whether to live or die? ”

"If one day, when the revenge of killing my father is in front of you, you don't dare to pick up a knife to resist......"

"Then, such a person is not worthy of the hero's protection."

The little boy's eyes gradually glistened with hope, and the stars sparkled: "Big brother...... I understand! I won't be afraid! I must kill those fishmen with my own hands to avenge my father!! ”

"Ah, that...... Actually, I don't recommend you to die......"

Saitama, who was still serious just now, suddenly changed back to the appearance of the salted fish, scratched his head and said, "I just don't agree with her philosophy, but I agree with the practice of not letting you go to death...... Of course, you'll have to defend your home yourself until the hero appears......"

"But now the hero is coming......"

Saitama smiled and patted the little boy on the shoulder, "Then, leave it to me next." ”
