Chapter 56: Don't Ask for the Bounty
Walking on the street, Ian didn't know that he and Ace had inadvertently completed another trip to the overlord's meal, he just noticed the huge commotion in the town, and the children who were playing outside were all forced back to their homes by the adults in the family, and each shop closed the door and used the deadbolt to resist it.
It's not that there is no one on the street, but what you can see is a crowd of people who want to flee with their suitcases, and their expressions are all frightened, and you can often see someone accidentally falling, only to be trampled by several people, and the whole Rogue Town is now in chaos.
It was only at this time that Ian truly realized the harm of pirates to this world, the notoriety of the Creek Pirates, just hearing it can cause people to panic, I really don't know what kind of miserable scene these guys will cause when they kill and rob.
There is a difference between pirates and pirates, from this point of view, Ian feels that Luffy's straw hat pirates are not really pirates, to be precise, to give them a definition, it should be wanted by the world government, with a bounty on the adventure group!
Yes, the Adventure Party! Luffy: They're just a bunch of adventurers, not real pirates.
The real pirates are the Creek Pirates, who act unscrupulously, burning, killing and looting!
Ian didn't expect that the Creek Pirates would capture Johnny and Joseph, and judging from the account of the messenger, Johnny and Joseph may have suffered a lot of crimes.
As for saying that the Creek Pirates would appear in the square in such a high-profile manner, and also threw Johnny and Joseph, who were covered in blood, on the ground to display, Ian understood what was going on after a little thought: the Creek Pirates wanted to lure themselves out!
However, to Ian's slight surprise, why didn't they go straight to themselves, but instead, use it this way? Is it just to make an example to other pirate hunters?
Or maybe Johnny and Joseph didn't say their names or locations at all, so the Creek Pirates had to fish for themselves in this way?
Ian didn't know what it was all about, but no matter what, Ian decided to do it last time!
It's not just to save Johnny and Joseph, but because everyone is knocking on the door, shouldn't they fight back hard?
Moreover, Crick's human head is worth a lot of money, and for Ian, who has now been forced into a money obsession by the system, that guy is a walking humanoid Bailey symbol!
On the way to the square, he suddenly heard Ace's shout from behind: "Ian! Wait for me! ”
When I looked back, I saw Ace running from behind with his shoulder bag.
"Why are you here?" Ian asked in surprise, "This is my business, why are you here?" ”
"Haha, don't be reckless!" Ace grinned at Ian with his hat on his hand, "If I'm not mistaken, the flames coming out of the sword are very draining of your physical strength, right?" You tried it once yesterday, and today you used it again to open the handcuffs, and the tired expression on your face can't fool anyone, do you still have the strength to fight? ”
Exhaustion is certain, but this exhaustion is mental exhaustion, but physical exhaustion is not consumed, and this sequelae has always existed after the exhaustion of energy, although it is much better than the strong headache feeling at the beginning, but it has never been eliminated.
Ian was going to explain it to Ace, but after thinking about it, he thought so, he thought so, he wanted to help out of good intentions, and it was not easy to refuse.
And Ian also feels that the number of Creek Pirates is too much, although most of them are small minions, and it is easy to solve, but too many will still be very troublesome, and it is always good to have someone to help.
"Alright, let's go!" Ian didn't say thank you, and went straight to the point.
So the two of them rushed towards the square, and it didn't take long for them to return to yesterday's execution table square.
The reason why the Creek Pirates appeared here is probably because of the significance of the execution table, they probably want to put to death the guy who provokes the majesty of their pirate group under this execution table, so as to deter other pirate hunters.
When Ian and the others arrived, they saw a large number of navy officers surrounding the outside, raising muskets in their hands to surround the members of the Creek Pirates in the center.
There can be no ordinary people on the square now, no matter how bold people are, they can only hide and peek far away at this time, the tense confrontation between the navy and the pirates, that is a sign that a big war may occur at any time, ordinary people are mixed in, it is simply looking for death!
The navy raised their guns and aimed at the pirates, and the pirates also took out their weapons and waited for them, but no one dared to start a battle.
On the Navy side, because the intention of the Creek Pirates has not been clarified until now, and the other party does not seem to have come to rob, even if the Navy has the obligation to capture the pirates, but that also depends on the situation, and now the strength is not as good as the Pirate side, where does the Navy dare to make the first move?
And the same is true for the Creek Pirates, they got Creek's advice before they came, so that if they can not go to war with the navy, it is better not to start a war, because once the navy soldiers suffer huge casualties, Vice Admiral Karp, who is still in the East China Sea at that time, is afraid that if they chase to the ends of the earth, they will destroy the Creek Pirates!
Although Crick is arrogant, he is still afraid of Karp, a legendary naval soldier.
Unable to move, the navy could only choose to shout first, a navy with the rank of captain, holding a megaphone, shouted to the pirates: "You have been surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and arrest them!" ”
When Ian arrived, he happened to hear this shout, and suddenly had a strange feeling, the police in the movie seem to act like this when they shout to criminals, but I have never seen any criminal surrender obediently after shouting.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were shouted, the pirates on the side of the Creek Pirates suddenly became clamoring.
"Get out of here! We're not here for your trouble! ”
"That's it! If you want your own life, get out of here! ”
"What about the Navy? We Creek Pirates have never been afraid! ”
The pirates didn't buy it, and the captain of the navy also looked very embarrassed, the person in charge of the base in Rogue Town had just been transferred, and the Colonel Smoker who took over had not yet arrived, but now there was such a big thing suddenly, he was the highest military rank in the base, but he had no countermeasures for this, and wanted to grit his teeth and order an attack, but he was worried that he would not be able to bear the consequences at that time, so he hesitated for a while.
In this strange atmosphere, Ian and Ace squeezed through the navy soldiers and walked towards the encirclement.
A naval soldier spotted him, grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?" Get out of here quickly, this is not something that ordinary people can participate in! Are you all dying just to see the excitement? ”
"Don't worry!" Ian patted him on the shoulder and said, "These pirates are looking for me, and we are not ordinary people!" ”
In the stunned eyes of the naval soldier, Ian and Ace squeezed out of the crowd and stood in the middle of the field.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them at once.
"Who are you?" One of the pirates asked stupidly.
Ian grabbed his hat and pressed it down, so that he could put it on tighter, and then said with a smile: "Aren't you looking for me?" That's why I'm here! ”
"Looking for you? You ......" The pirate who spoke was still a little unresponsive, but for some reason, after he looked at the smile on Ian's face, he suddenly shivered, and the rest of the words couldn't go on.
Ignoring the stunned pirates, Ian walked over to Johnny and Joseph lying on the ground, crouching down to see how they were doing.
Johnny and Joseph were beaten so badly that if they weren't still breathing, Ian would have thought they were dead, and when Ian patted Johnny lightly, he heard Johnny murmuring, "I won't say it...... ...... won't say"
He was completely unconscious, and he still said such things even though he was unconscious, which made Ian's eyes more and more gloomy.
Seeing Ian's movements, the pirates finally realized that this kid wearing a bear-eared hat who had just appeared was the third pirate hunter that the Creek leader wanted them to find!
"Up! Kill him! ”
The pirates erupted all at once, shouting and immediately rushing towards Ian.
However, when the nearest pirates just rushed in front of Ian, they suddenly saw several flashes of knife light, and in the next second, the pirates who rushed the fastest suddenly disintegrated!
Some of them were split in half from the top of their heads, and some were separated from their upper and lower bodies, and in either case, they all had one thing in common, they were all cut in two by Ian!
The blood of the crashing flight was sprayed out instantly after the disintegration of these pirates, and the scene was like a blood rain, dripping blood stained Ian's body, he was in this blood rain, raised his head with a long knife, looked at the pirates, and showed a smile.
"I'm in a bad mood today, so your bounty ...... I don't want it! ”
