Chapter 6: The Silent Battle
In the darkness, the figure of a child flashed silently through the hallway.
Compared to the situation of starvation and dying two days ago, Rossi's physical strength has recovered a lot now, and after eating the Devil Fruit, even the 'Silent Fruit' that can compete for the most rubbish name still makes his heart swell a little.
No matter how garbage the fruit is, it is not comparable to ordinary people!
Although it is not the 'familiar' era of pirates, the Four Emperors are in their prime, and the Seven Martial Seas are basically still little children... But much of the information in Rossi's mind contained great encounters in itself.
For example, in another 3 years, the 'Battle of Edwall' that shocked the world was about to start, and dozens of large ships of the Golden Lion besieged a ship of the Roger Pirates, but it ended dramatically with the destruction of the large ship group by a storm, and the Golden Lion was plugged by the rudder.
Two years later, the 'Roger Pirates' arrived at Ralph Drew and became the true One Piece...
After another year of lurking, Roger turned himself in. On the execution table, he shouted the famous sentence that affected tens of millions of people:
- Do you want my treasure? If you want, I can give it all to you, go find it! I put all my treasure there!
As a result, One Piece has become the ultimate pursuit of countless pirates!
There is also the 'Dancing King' of Wano Country to tolerate adultery, the Golden Lion breaks the myth of the Advancing City, the birth of the sea train, etc.
In these big events, as long as Rossi is willing, a phone call and a letter can make the future trajectory completely go to a different timeline.
This is the confidence that belongs to the traverser, even if Rosie is so depressed now, he still has a little pride in his heart.
Not vigorous, is that still a young man?
But to underestimate the enemy is to suffer.
Just like now—
"Hah, look what I found!"
Just as Rossi climbed the ladder to the second floor, a figure flashed out from behind the cargo pile.
?!
Careless, someone is ambushing here...
There was no chance for Rossi to explain at all, and the other party directly pulled out a flintlock pistol! The muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the little boy who had just climbed the stairs.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, Rosie almost instinctively wanted to retreat to the next layer!
But he suddenly thought of one thing: if he came to ambush himself, would he arrange only one person here?
At the thought of this, Rossi gave up the downward retreat, and instead suddenly lowered his body, and the whole person almost fell to the floor.
Reach out with both hands and press them on the ground, while your right foot is bent and exert force! Jump out of the stairs in the manner of a sprinter and pounce on the sailors with flintlock pistols!
If you are an adult, in this narrow environment, you will naturally only have the life of eating lead bullet.
But Rosie's size was already small, and this charge on the ground was even more unexpected. The sailor with the gun was stunned for a moment, and by the time he wanted to aim and pull the trigger with the muzzle down, it was too late.
There are only a few meters between the two, and at the moment of life and death, Rossi has already come to the other party with all his strength, kicking his feet and jumping up like a spring!
The gun-wielding sailor saw a flicker in front of him, and subconsciously closed his eyes and retreated in the face of the little boy who pounced on him.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the gun-wielding sailor was caught off guard and staggered backwards.
But it doesn't matter. The other party is just a little ghost and-
Puff,
The cold blade stabbed into the jaw of the gun-wielding sailor from the bottom up, through the tongue and straight up, nasal cavity, brain...
If this knife goes down, even the fruit of the operation can't be saved!
boom
The gun-wielding sailor fell on his back, his flintlock pistol, which he had not had time to use, spun and slid off the floor.
"Jike?!"
At the same time, a voice of grief and indignation came from behind him! Another sailor, armed with a scimitar, climbed up from the previous staircase, his face full of exasperation.
If Rossi had chosen to retreat just now, he would have been killed by the sailor who had touched him from behind.
"Bastard, I'm going to break your hands and feet and hang on the mast to dry!"
The sailor strode forward, waved the scimitar in his hand, and with a bang, the knife in Rossi's hand, which turned around, flew away.
Then a cruel smile appeared on the sailor's face, and the raised left fist slammed down from top to bottom, obviously to fulfill his 'promise' and not want Rossi to die too easily.
The sailor's tall and muscular muscles smashed down from top to bottom, and it felt like a huge hammer slamming into the felt, even if there was a red-hot ball of steel underneath, it would make it spark!
Boom!
Rosie, who received this punch, buzzed in his head, and the whole person rolled out in a whirlwind, until his back slammed into the cabin, and then stopped.
"Ahem,"
What a terrible power!
Without giving Rossi a chance to breathe, the blade of the sailor's scimitar fell a few centimeters from his face, and with a muffled bang, the scimitar slashed into the floor, into the wood!
Even in the dim cabin, the light still made Rossi's pupils shrink.
Death is so close!
Regardless of whether the opponent misses the attack or deliberately teases, when he slashes into the floor with a scimitar and does not pull it out, Rosie rolls to the side in place, trying to pull away.
However, unlike the gun-wielding and careless sailor before him, this scimitar-wielding sailor was clearly proficient in melee combat, and grabbed Rossi as he rolled and dodged!
Oops –
As soon as this thought flashed in Rossi's heart, the whole person was directly twisted up by the other party's hand, and then slammed into the pillar next to him.
Click,
The muffled sound of the impact was mixed with the sound of something cracking.
My chest and back are numb, and my eyes are dark! When Rossi came to his senses again, he was once again lifted up by the other party and ready to be smashed into the sharp corner of the nearby pile of goods.
Don't think about it—
Instinctively lowered his head and bit directly into the hand that grabbed his collar!
There was a smell of blood in my mouth, and I didn't know if it was the other party or my own. The teeth clenched, and they were rigged into the back of the other party's hand.
"Ahh Little ghost~~" The tall sailor who was in pain shook his hand and smashed Rosie to the ground.
Just as Rossi got up and was about to run away, the tall sailor flew up and kicked Rossi in the stomach, causing him to roll like a ball for several meters.
"It's over!!"
After being bitten hard by Rosie, the tall sailor decided to 'stop playing'. Backhand pulled out the cutlass that had been stuck in the ground before, but Rossi, who was kicked by him, was already half-kneeling.
"yes, it's over—"
In his hands, there is already one more weapon.
A flintlock pistol that is not advanced, but can also take people's lives!
It was a weapon left behind by the previous sailor with a gun, who was stabbed in the jaw by Rossi and instantly died. Before he could fire, the weapon fell to the ground.
In the series of battles just now, Rosie was not just 'beaten'. Instead, he kept trying to get close to the weapon, and although he almost kicked out all the bread he had eaten before, he managed to get a chance to win.
?!
In an instant, the big man who obviously crushed Rosie with his strength was frozen by the oncoming murderous aura.
The distance between the two is only a few meters, and with the wide size of the tall sailor, it is difficult to miss! While the other party's face was hideous and he was trying to dodge, Rosie had already pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang!
Although it was only a flintlock pistol, the bullet was only buckshot.
But the lethality is by no means weaker than many firearms in previous lives, and unlike many penetrating wounds with one or two holes, the soft lead bullet deformed, shattered, and 'squeezed' a huge flared cavity while hitting the chest of the tall sailor.
"Huh... Hohoo..."
Clutching his chest, he couldn't stop the black and red blood gushing out, and the tall sailor who fell to the ground gasped with wide eyes and looked at the little boy in front of him in disbelief.
"You... You... How..."
How dare you?!
As soon as the gunshots go off, the others will immediately come over, and you will die, you will die!!
They are all cronies of the aristocratic captain, and they are arranged to ambush all over the ship, ready to uncover the true face of the 'silent murderer'.
I didn't expect to die in the hands of a little ghost...
Sir Clahhorn won't let you go!
At this dying moment, the tall sailor suddenly remembered a question:
Obviously, I shouted before, why hasn't anyone come to check on it yet?
However, his question was destined to go unanswered, and a black muzzle appeared in the sight of the tall sailor, and there was a condescending sigh from Rossi.
"Farewell,"
I don't want to kill you, but if you want to kill me, don't blame me for being rude!
Bang!
————
?
In the room where the passengers were being held, the little girl who was sleeping on her knees suddenly opened her eyes.
"Someone died."
?!
The little girl's voice was soft, but it was enough for the bearded swordsman next to her to hear it, and the bearded swordsman who opened his eyes frowned.
"Gion-chan, what's going on?"
"At 3 o'clock, about fifteen meters away, there was a series of vibrations just now. Especially in the last blow, it was obvious that the lead bullet had pierced through the flesh and hit the wooden board...
"Impossible,"
The bearded swordsman shook his head,
"If someone was shooting at such a close distance, I couldn't have heard it."
Although he doesn't have the ability of a little girl to judge things out of sight by means of 'vibration', he is also a very powerful 'strong man', and it is impossible not to even notice the sound of gunfire close at hand.
"Unless it's a technique like 'pointing a gun,' but that's not possible. How could a naval master who had mastered the finger gun run to this ordinary merchant ship? ”
"Maybe..."
Faced with the beard's soft rebuttal, the little girl Gion frowned.
"Is it some kind of Devil Fruit ability?"
