"Pirates!"

"There are pirates!!"

The pirate ship approaching the coast of Dressrosa quickly attracted the attention of the people working in the port, and a wrestler loaded the goods onto the ship, and was just about to leave when he suddenly noticed the shadow of the ship on the sea in the distance.

After seeing the ship's pirate flag, Young Lux let out an exclamation, alerting the other partners working on the docks.

"Pirates? Are there pirates? ”

"Where? Where? ”

On the deck, on the dock, the people heard the cry of the young wrestler, and instead of fear, they all cried out in surprise and rushed towards the ship.

This is a cargo ship from other places to trade in Dressrosa, more than ten meters high, the dock is blocked by the hull of the cargo ship, and the people working on the dock only saw the pirate ship on the sponge in the distance after running onto the deck of the merchant ship.

“ohhh！！ It's really a pirate ship! ”

"How dare you come to Dressrosa? I don't know where it came from. ”

Among the people standing on the side of the ship, there was an older middle-aged man, looking at the pirate ship in the distance, groping out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, and pulling out a cigarette that had just been held in his mouth, and a young man on the side hurriedly ran towards the dock after confirming the pirate ship, shouting to everyone as he ran:

"The pirates are coming! Run! ”

After the young man shouted, the figure quickly disappeared above the deck.

The middle-aged man with a cigarette turned his head a little stunned, then grabbed his hair and asked the people around him, "That kid, where did you come from?" ”

"Absenteeism for no reason, he can only get half of his salary today!"

As he spoke, a young man with a turban beside him handed over the lighter with great insight and said with a smile:

"Foreman, newcomer, forgive me."

"It's going to take a while to get used to, don't be surprised."

"That kid works quite hard, don't have a problem with him, you should deduct half a day's salary, but if he comes back later, just treat it as if nothing happened, foreman."

As he spoke, he helped the middle-aged man light a cigarette.

Taking a puff of his cigarette lightly, the middle-aged man known as the foreman glanced at the direction where the young man had just left, and said with some disdain: "What a fuss, I haven't seen the world!" ”

"Others, take a fifteen-minute break and watch a show."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of hesitation, and he said to himself, "I don't know if those guys can hold on for fifteen minutes." ”

While thinking about it, a loud alarm suddenly sounded on the dock, this alarm sound was like an air defense alarm in modern society, and the piercing sound instantly penetrated the entire island, and even King Liku, who was far away in the center of Dressrosa, heard this alarm.

"Huh? Alert for the Navy? ”

"There are pirates attacking Dressrosa?"

When King Riku heard this alarm, he was discussing this year's town expansion plan with his subordinates in the main hall, and when he heard this voice, he was obviously slightly stunned, and his face showed a little curiosity.

"King Liku, it's indeed the siren from the military port, it should be attacked by pirates."

"What are we going to do, do we have to get the troops stationed in the port to assist the navy in the attack?"

The minister asked with a slight bow towards King Riku.

When King Liku heard this, he looked at the minister with a strange expression. The minister who said this also realized that he had said the wrong thing at this moment, smiled awkwardly, and lowered his head.

"Since the arrival of Dressrosa in the country, sirens like this have been heard a little bit every year."

"When he first came, there were pirates attacking at both ends of the three days, and before we could send troops, the incident was already resolved."

"It's been so long that I haven't even seen a shadow of a pirate."

"Dressrosa's tranquility, I really want to thank those people in the Navy Branch!"

King Riku slowly rose from his throne and walked to the door of the main hall, looking out towards the harbor in the distance. As he spoke, King Liku lowered his head, pinched the fat hidden under his clothes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Quick! Get on board, keep up, keep up! ”

In the military harbor of the Sword of Dawn, a group of navy officers in white training uniforms were running towards the warships parked on the shore with swords and guns on their backs.

A young navyman in a captain's uniform stood by the escalator on the ship's embarkation and urged.

Not long after the navy boarded the warship, Cyrus's figure appeared in everyone's sight, and then one flew and went directly to the deck.

"Brigadier General Cyrus!"

The navy on the deck saluted Cyrus in unison, and then, at Cyrus's signal, went to their respective posts.

Amid the shrill siren, the three large warships docked on the warship began to shore the shore one after another, heading towards the pirate ship in the distance.

"Report the situation!" Cyrus stood at the bow of the ship with a telescope in his hand and looked into the distance.

Not long after, one of the sailors on the lookout flew and jumped directly from the watchtower more than ten meters high, came to Cyrus's side, and reported:

"Report to the Commodore General, a pirate ship has been found so far, with an estimated hull length of 70 meters, and several pirates on the deck."

"And on the deck of the other party, there is an abused hostage."

When Cyrus heard that there were hostages, he glanced back at his men, nodded, and asked:

"What about the identity of the other party?"

The lookout shook his head, and before he could reply, a young sailor came up to Cyrus with a wanted warrant in his hand, and reported:

"The report is that it is the Braji Pirates, the captain is named Braji, and the bounty is 440 million Bailey, and they are the 'rookies' who only entered the New World last year."

"The ability of the Devil Fruit is the Bubble Fruit, the bubble that is spit out, it will produce a violent explosion, and the danger level is three and a half stars."

The hazard level assessment system is something unique to the Dawn branch of the first country of the country. In the world of One Piece, deciding how much a pirate's bounty is not based on the strength of the pirate or the pirate group.

The definition is based on the degree of threat that the wanted criminal poses to the world government.

This led to a situation in the future, that is, the survivor of O'Hara, Robin, who was only 8 years old, was offered a bounty for the first time after fleeing, and the amount was in the tens of millions.

It is obviously unreasonable to use the pirate bounty to define the strength of the other party and send the corresponding navy.

Because even a "little pirate" with a small bounty may be a powerful powerhouse.

The best example of this is the famous Five Five Kai in the One Piece world, Sand Crocodile, and Klocodale. During the period of the Seven Martial Seas, his bounty was only 81 million Bailey, which was only a few million more Baileys than when the young Nicole Robin was first rewarded.

But the difference in strength between the two people can be described as a world of difference, one is a natural department that can "open five or five" with Mihawk, and the other is an 8-year-old girl who is just starting out.

It can be seen that such a thing as a bounty cannot be used as a measure of strength.

And this danger level assessment system developed by Ji Guoyuan is only about combat strength, regardless of anything else.

The highest, it is 6 stars, the top strength of the general and emperor level, such as three and a half stars and a half, the more powerful rear admiral, who leads the fleet to be able to confront the other party, that is, the level of X Drake can be matched.

Of course, this is only for individuals, and if it is a pirate group, it is not so simple to measure.

"Three and a half?"

"The danger level is not small, everyone, cheer up."

"Inform the other teams that the other side has hostages, don't shell, get closer and then directly attack by speedboat and engage in battle."

"Send a message to the base, send more warships."

Cyrus looked at the slowly approaching pirate ship and said in a deep voice. At the same time, the warship was already within the range of the pirate ship's shelling, and after a few cannon shots, the cannonballs quickly struck at Cyrus's warship.

In the face of the attack of the pirates, there was no movement from Cyrus, and several figures quickly swept out of the deck, directly swinging their swords to cut the cannonballs from the air.

After the cannonball fell, three figures landed on the side of the ship, standing or standing, each holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was quite young.

Seeing this, the lookout turned to Cyrus and asked, "Brigadier General, is it too much of a fuss?" ”

"There is only one ship on the other side, and under your leadership, it will be more than enough for us to attack."

"Now that we've dispatched a total of three warships, do we still need support?"

Faced with the inquiries of his subordinates, Cyrus said in a deep voice: "Bastard! ”

"If I could, even if I met a pirate, I would like to go out of my nest."

"Under the absolute superiority, our losses can be minimized, and on the road of fighting against pirates, each of us must be prepared to fight for a long time."

"The lives of our navy are far more expensive than those pirates!"

Listening to Cyrus's words, the young lookout couldn't help but stir in his heart, saluted Cyrus, and then said firmly: "Brigadier General! We will not be afraid of death! ”

When Cyrus heard this, he gave the other party a blank look and scolded in a low voice: "Fool, you didn't listen to my words at all, go and go, pass my orders, and the speedboat will attack!" ”

At this moment when the two were communicating, the warship was getting closer and closer to the pirate ship.

On the pirate ship in the distance, the pirate captain Braggy looked at the warship that was approaching quickly, and directly gave up the idea of continuing the shelling, and shouted to his companions on the deck:

"Little ones, get ready to send these navies to hell!"

"After killing them, go to Dressrosa to eat and drink spicy!"

As he spoke, a burst of cheers erupted from the deck, and the snapper and fishman at the feet of Braggi heard the name Navy, not only did he not have any excitement and joy on his face, but his face was defeated, and even the movements of struggle were much smaller at this moment.

On the sea, countless speedboats lowered from the warship and rushed towards the pirate ship from several directions, and in the blink of an eye, the speedboat approached, and white figures leaped directly from the speedboat, occupying the sides around the pirate ship in an instant.

A group of navy officers in white training uniforms stood on the railing, surrounding the pirates, staring coldly at the pirates on the deck.

"Whew!" After a soft sound, a little cold light swept directly from the top of Bragi's head, and Bragghi, who noticed the movement, only had time to roll to the side and avoid it in embarrassment.

And the next second he left, the figure of Cyrus had already appeared on the deck, and he picked up the snapper and fishman who had been chained and tied into zongzi on the ground, and quickly retreated to the bow of the ship, and the order sounded: "Action!" ”

"Boom !!!"

After a loud bang, black smoke billowed from the hull on both sides of the pirate ship, and two large holes opened in an instant, and the navies on the speedboat that arrived later jumped directly into the next second of the pirate ship's hole, entered the cabin, and quickly searched for possible hostages.

At the same time, the navy that surrounded the pirates who jumped out of the pirate ship in advance and stood on the railing opened fire on the pirates on the deck.

The inexplicable explosion caught the pirates off guard, and many of them failed to stand firm, and at this moment, under the burst of bullets, many pirates were directly pierced through the chest.

After a volley, the navy threw away their guns, drew their long knives, and rushed directly towards the pirates.

Cyrus also leaned the snapper fishman against the mast in the bow of the ship, and rushed directly towards Braji with his sword.

"Damn the Navy!"

Bragi had barely gotten up from the floor when he screamed before Cyrus' sword light fell in front of him. Bragi opened his mouth, and a black bubble protruded directly from his mouth, heading towards Cyrus's face.

"Boom !!!" In the next second, Cyrus's head seemed to be hit by a small cannonball, obscured by the flames from the explosion.

The corners of Bragi's mouth had just been hooked, and Cyrus's face appeared in Bragi's sight directly through the black smoke.

"How could it be ?!!"

Seeing Cyrus's unscathed appearance, Braggi let out a low cry of astonishment, and the next second he only felt a tingling pain in his chest, and lowered his head slightly, finding that a long sword had actually penetrated his chest at some point.

Opening his mouth, Braggi wanted to say something, but his throat was filled with blood.

Cyrus's left hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Bragi's head directly, and in the next moment, the sword was drawn and flashed across his neck.

Carrying Bragi's head, Cyrus flew back to the bow of the ship and shouted, "Report the situation!" ”

It was a long time before the navy replied to him on the surface: "Report, no hostages have been found." ”

The moment he heard this voice, Cyrus squatted down, grabbed the snapper fish man directly, and then shouted at his subordinates: "Retreat!" ”

The moment the navy who was fighting with the pirates heard this order, they left behind the corpses of the pirates in one place, and quickly left the battlefield and fell towards the sea.

Cyrus grabbed the head and the snapper and fishman, and quickly fell from the bow of the ship and went to the warship.

The navies left one after another, and one by one the speedboats sailed directly from the side of the pirate ship.

From the time the navy boarded the ship to the time the navy left, it was only a short ten minutes before and after. Before the pirates could react to what was happening, the navy had already left in a hurry.

"Retreated?"

"Obviously you have the advantage, and you're leaving?"

The pirates chased to the side of the ship, looking at the speeding away Navy speedboat, and were a little distracted for a while.

"Dead! The captain died!! ”

A terrible scream came from the deck, and before the pirates could turn around to check the situation, the three warships in the distance suddenly erupted in a roaring cannon.

At the same time, the military port on the coast of Dressrosa also showed its fangs, and the coastal guns on the naval buildings turned around and spat out tongues of fire.

Countless cannonballs fell directly towards the pirate ship, and in the blink of an eye, the already ragged pirate ship was already caught in the raging fire, and the pirate flag of the Braji Pirates on the ship gradually disappeared into the flames.

The speedboats, which had been speeding away, made a big detour in the distance and began to return to their respective warships.

Cyrus returned to his warship with the snapper and fish-man before he had time to take a good look at his hostage.

In order to prevent the "flustered" hostages from affecting his actions during the operation, Cyrus never untied the chains on the snapper.

But it wasn't until he untied the other party that Cyrus was stunned to discover that the person he had saved was not a human being in the pure sense of the word.

"Fish-Fish-Human?"

On the deck, the sailors looked at the snapper fish-man with obvious fish-man characteristics on their bodies, and whispered in disbelief. was helped before, and the other party's orientation was not so different from that of people, and they didn't care.

But now that I look at it, the other party is actually a fish-people!

The snapper and fishman who was rescued by the navy looked at Cyrus with a wary face, clenched his fists, and put on a posture to resist the attack, staring at the navy with a dead will on his face.

"Yes, so what?"

The snapper asked in a deep voice, his body muscles tense.

Seeing the nervous look on the other party's face, Cyrus was a little stunned, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this brother." ”

"My subordinates are a little rude, please don't mind."

"Don't be afraid, we're navy, not pirates."

As he spoke, Cyrus pointed to the seagull logo on his chest, signaling the "hostage" to relax.

However, when he heard the word navy, the fishman did not relax at all, and stared at Cyrus.

Looking at the fish-man like this, Cyrus suddenly fell silent and said softly:

"I'm sorry! I don't know what happened to you, but"

"I'm sorry!"

Cyrus's words made the snapper look stunned, and when he looked into Cyrus's gaze, the color of hatred dissipated, and in his place, his eyes were full of confusion.
