A Gentle Kill Intent

Longinus' pupils shrank sharply, and while the bounty didn't exactly equate to strength, it was also the best means of measuring strength in most cases.

When the Great Age of Pirates is in its infancy, and the beginning of the seas of the Grand Line, the bounty of 37 million berries is already an impressive figure.

While he had killed some pirates who had come to attack before, the pirates' highest bounty was only 23 million berries, utterly different from the 37 million berries bounty.

Not to mention, the Giant Rhino Alexander has a reputation in this area for evading the marine chase many times and even chose to slaughter some towns as revenge, which seems to be a pure calamity for these people.

"Longinus nii-san, what...what should we do now?" Seeing that Longinus was a little distracted, Fitz was in a state of confusion and asked.

"Of course... kill them!"

"Huh?"

Fitz's eyes widened, and he was a bit shocked. Although Longinus was strong and had also killed many pirates who had plundered the town, this incoming enemy was on a completely different level from the previous pirates!

Fitz was still distracted when he saw Longinus leave, vanishing entirely without a trace as the rabbit ran away, " Longinus nii-san, wait for me!"

"Looks like we'll have to show some tactics to kill the enemy this time, but it's good, the Sea King class has managed to assimilate enough life force, it's time to try the powerful soul!" Longinus' calm eyes flashed with fierce killing intent, and a slight tremble in his running body was a sign that all the blood surging through his body was beginning to boil.

...

The slaughter never stops!

The red blood stained the earth, and the devastation was everything as if the hell's gates had been opened here.

"Alex-sama, we can hand over all of our wealth to you, but please spare our lives!" The older man knelt on the ground, desperately asking for mercy.

"Mayor, let's fight them!" The crowd behind the older man roared with disapproval.

"Shut up!" The old mayor snapped at the back before continuing to plead, "Alex-sama, take as much of the town's wealth as you like, and I will swear on my ancestor's name that I will never reveal anything to the marine about your movements, and please have mercy on us and spare us!"

"HA HA HA HA! Who will proclaim to this sea the brutality and power of my power, if you are spared? I've long spread the message in this sea that I'll slaughter a town for every time the Marine hunts for me. If you want to complain, old man, go ahead and complain about those idiot marines!" The fat, one-eyed pirate laughed fiercely.

"Now, all of you..." and Alex raised the club of wolf fangs high in his hand as if he wanted to smash the old man to death in the most brutal way possible.

Boom!

Just as the townspeople were preparing to fight to the death, a shadow fell from the sky, and the fat pig-like body of Alexander was suddenly blown away by dozens of meters. It was Longinus who climbed on the roof and leaped into the air to deliver the death blow.

"This... Longinus... he blew away the Giant Rhino Alex!" Some townspeople mumble to themselves, unable to believe what they are seeing.

"Great, with Longinus nii-san here, Captain What's-His-Name Giant Rhino Bandits won't be impudent for long!" The Boy Scouts have unconditional faith in Longinus.

"Are you kidding me? An 11 or 12-year-old kid beat the Captain!" A pirate said subconsciously.

The pirates beside him were horrified to see this man with his mouth agape and quickly retreated like a coyote.

The pirate who had spoken before now woke up, sweating coldly behind his back, shaking his legs and looking at the dust that hadn't dissipated, stuttering, "Ship... Captain, I didn't mean that.... "

Boom!

The wolf's club fangs spun out of the dust with terrific speed, smashing the pirate's head into mincemeat as a headless corpse crumbled to the ground in that pirate's horrified and desperate eyes.

Alex walked with a fury in his eyes, the blood gurgling from his forehead bleeding into his body as if he were a demon emerging from a sea of blood.

Everyone was trembling with fear. Pirates lowered their eyes and eyebrows, unable to breathe as if an invisible boulder was weighing on their chests.

"How dare you hit me, you bastard! You know, no one has ever hit me on the head before!" Alex approached step by step, his face so fierce that he seemed to be giving off immense pressure.

"Do now." Longinus smiled gently, while his mind pondered how Alex's rumors being a Zoan Ability User seemed to be accurate, or else he would not have recovered so quickly from a punch that could have killed even a sea king class.

Longinus' reply stunned Alex for a moment. Then he was so angry that even the words he had intended to say for himself were wholly thrown out of his mind, and his legs were pushing against the ground, driven by the recoil of the outburst, he rushed towards the enemy with astonishing speed.

At this speed, a distance of ten meters was merely a blink of the eye, and when he saw that Longinus looked as if he was scared to death before he could react, Alex felt relieved, and the huge force applied to his fist became stronger.

As a punch of Alex's sandbag-sized fist closes in on his eyes, bringing up a wind that ruffles the hair in his ears, Longinus moves!

With his head slightly to the left, his fist brushed his face with strong winds. Longinus leaned quickly on his right shoulder and heard a crisp sound of the skeleton's fracture, did not wait for Alex's cry of pain. Longinus's right leg quickly kick up, with a swift and powerful to hit Alex's abdomen.

Whether it was the townspeople of Fallen Leaf Town or the Giant Rhino pirates, they all saw that the face of the Giant Rhino Alex had been painfully and wholly disfigured. And his eyes were bulging out like dead fish. Anyone could see that the pain he was enduring at the moment had far exceeded his limits.

That wasn't all. Longinus grabbed Alex's shoulder almost like an instant and slammed him into the ground with powerful slams as if he were an ant throwing an elephant, but the crowd had lost all sense of humor.

Except for the boy scouts who followed behind Longinus every day, nobody thought that the Giant Rhino Alex, who dominated this sea, would be defeated at the hands of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Let's say that reality is often stranger than fantasy.

Heavy breathing was heard, and Longinus's face remained as it was, but his stance was quickly retreating backward.

Only a five-meter tall giant rhinoceros was seen charging out wildly from the dust, the single horn on its nose flickering with harsh cold light, seemingly sharper than an ordinary famous sword.

If Longinus hadn't predicted the danger and dodged early, he would have been toppled by this horn to have his body torn apart.

"It's... it's a monster!" The townspeople who were already looking happy were once again miserable, apparently frightened by Alex's significant change.

"Idiot, that's the Captain's true strength, that's what makes the Giant Rhino Pirates go across the sea!" The almost demoralized pirate yelled again.

"This guy's size is far inferior to that of a sea king class. It wouldn't be a match for Longinus nii-san!" Only the group of Boy Scouts remained confident in Longinus.

"Bastard, it seems I really underestimated you, but unfortunately, you're about to see the power that truly belongs to the Devil!" Alex paddled the ground on his fore-hoofs, taking a heavy breath.

"Don't spout off so easily. It will only show your weakness!" Even in the face of a monstrous enemy like Alex, Longinus smiled with a gentle smile, for he would always be more lenient in the front of the dead.
