Chapter 32: Can You Be a Pirate Without Being Arrogant?
Boom!
The heavy city gate made a dull, thunderous sound.
The accumulated dust on the gate fell quickly.
The bearded pirate, who resembled an iron can, weighed hundreds of pounds and created a gap in the city gate.
"You..."
Drake and the dozen or so officers behind him opened their mouths in astonishment as they watched Rosha slowly retract his right hand and coldly look at the remaining pirate soldiers.
"Damn it! How dare you make a move? Are you looking for death?"
The other pirates were stunned by the sudden change, and it took them a while to react. They angrily drew their weapons and rushed towards Rosha and Drake's group.
Drake was still in shock and spoke urgently to Rosha in a low voice:
"Hey, kid, didn't we agree to disguise ourselves as pirates to enter the city smoothly? Why did you make a move? If this causes a big scene, our mission..."
"Captain Drex, what is our current identity?"
Rosha spoke with a blank expression, looking coldly at the seven or eight pirates waving their spears and rushing towards him.
"Pirates?"
"That's right, we are pirates."
As he spoke, Rosha stepped forward towards the incoming pirates.
"Since we are pirates, our style of doing things should naturally be..."
"Arrogant!"
He clenched his right hand into a fist, dodged a pirate's thrusting spear, and punched the pirate in the chest.
Boom!
The iron chestplate caved in with a clear fist imprint.
The immense force sent the unfortunate pirate flying.
A smirk appeared on Rosha's lips, and red streaks emerged in his eyes. He struck rapidly with several more punches, hitting three more pirates.
Boom boom boom!
The three pirates opened their mouths wide, feeling their internal organs churning from the punches, as if their guts were being instantly torn apart.
Under the tremendous force, the three couldn't even scream in pain before they were knocked unconscious, flying like cannonballs and crashing into the city gate behind them.
Drake and the others heard a series of thunderous sounds.
Soon, the tightly closed royal city gate was gradually forced open.
The horizontal bar at the gate entrance broke under the tremendous impact.
"Alright, we can go in now."
Rosha turned and called to the group standing behind him in astonishment.
Drake's lips moved.
Weren't we supposed to enter quietly?
"Heh, this kid is quite interesting. Perhaps he's right; since we are pirates now, we shouldn't be too conservative."
Peacock laughed lightly, following Rosha into the city gate.
Drake and the officers behind him looked at each other and then hurriedly followed.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my territory?"
As soon as they entered the city, they heard a loud, thunderous roar.
Behind the open city gate stood dozens of burly pirates.
These pirates weren't wearing any royal soldier armor to conceal their identity, but were openly displaying their pirate status.
The pirate who roared was a giant over three meters tall.
His massive, fat-filled body was constantly shaking as he spoke.
He was holding a large bone of meat in his right hand, tearing at it with his teeth, his face smeared with grease.
He glanced at Rosha and the others with his big, round eyes, then grabbed a pirate who was still groaning on the ground.
"Tell me, what's going on here?"
Seeing the giant's face, the grabbed pirate forgot his pain and fear.
He stammered, "Lord Tiru, they wanted to enter the city, claiming to be from the Sharp Blade Pirates."
"Sharp Blade Pirates?" Tiru scratched his cheek with a thick finger, puzzled. "Is there such a pirate crew in the North Sea?"
"We don't know; we've never heard of them. So... so we didn't open the gate. Then, that white-haired man attacked us."
The pirate pointed at Rosha, his face filled with resentment.
"Oh, is that so?"
Tiru turned to look at Rosha, his fat face almost touching Rosha's.
Immediately, a strong stench of sweat mixed with alcohol assaulted Rosha's nose.
Rosha smiled, revealing a few white teeth: "You bunch of trash, I just asked them to open the gate, but they recklessly tried to attack us. Do they think the Sharp Blade Pirates are easy to bully?"
Tiru sniffed and looked at the pirate he was holding: "Is that true? Did you attack first?"
The pirate's face turned pale, and he hastily explained: "Lord Tiru, it's not like he said. The white-haired man attacked first. We just said something about his captain. Yes, that black-eyed thug over there is their captain, named Drex."
Black-eyed thug?
A vein popped on Drake's forehead.
Tiru looked at him: "Is that so? Are you the captain of the Sharp Blade Pirates, Drex?"
Drake nodded reluctantly: "Yes, I..."
"Kill them."
Tiru said in a deep, rumbling voice.
"Yes, Lord Tiru!"
As soon as Tiru finished speaking, the pirates behind him, who had been eyeing Drake and his group, immediately rushed forward with grinning faces, swinging their swords at Drake and his men.
"You bastards, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Drake, frustrated from being repeatedly thwarted, drew his weapon and charged to meet the attacking pirates.
The officers behind him relaxed.
So it was going to be a fight after all.
If we had known, we wouldn't have bothered disguising ourselves as pirates.
The dozen or so officers charged into the pirate horde.
Meanwhile, Tiru looked down at Rosha.
"Did you start the fight? Is that so?"
"Yes, Lord Tiru, he..."
Crunch.
Tiru's fat hand crushed the pirate's head, helmet and all.
Red and white fluids sprayed out from under the helmet, splattering everywhere.
Tiru raised the crushed pirate: "Did I ask you? Answer me, you rude fool!"
Rosha frowned slightly as he watched Tiru shake the pirate's corpse, then turned to Peacock beside him.
"Who is this giant? He seems a bit abnormal."
"He's the third officer of the Giant Bug Pirates, the Violent Bear Tiru, with a bounty of... 59 million."
As soon as Peacock finished speaking, a large shadow loomed over them.
"You bastard! Who are you calling fat?"
