Three ships flying pirate flags were docked at the shore, firing cannonballs towards the port.
"Captain! We're gonna make a fortune this time! There are lots of merchant ships in this port, and they have no ability to fight back. We're gonna hit the jackpot!"
A pirate with a bandana on his head and a knife in his hand looked at the port and said.
"Ka ha ha ha ha! Men, charge! Rob this town dry!"
The pirate wearing a captain's hat pointed his great sword at the town and shouted loudly.
"Kill! Charge! The women and treasures are all mine!"
The pirates on the three ships strode towards the port, with greedy and excited expressions on their faces.
When the people in the port saw the pirates, they ran desperately into the town. Some even jumped into the sea directly.
"Help! The pirates are on shore! Run for your lives!"
"Damn it, stop pushing and let me through."
Countless cries and curses filled the crowded port.
Numerous cannonballs whistled over their heads and hit the houses, which instantly caught fire. This made the scene even more chaotic, with people running helter-skelter.
"Wu wu wu wu!"
"Save me! Save me!"
There were cries for help, sobs, and children standing there blankly.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction the scream came from.
They saw a dockworker being cut down by a pirate's sword.
"Run!"
The people who were originally crowded in the port instantly went crazy and rushed forward desperately.
Suddenly, the port was in complete chaos, and there were stampedes everywhere.
Countless people lost their lives because of this.
As a result, although the pirates only killed one person, countless people died in the stampede.
"Ha ha ha, Captain, it's our turn to shine!"
The first mate said as he saw that the pirates under his command had cleared a space in the port.
Bang!
"Damn it, do I need you to tell me that?"
The captain slapped the first mate flying and then stepped down with an arrogant gait.
"I'm Aries Jesse, the captain of the Brutish Bear Pirate Crew, a big-time pirate with a bounty of forty-five million berries. Those who want to live, hand over all your treasures now!"
Aries Jesse roared as he walked onto the high platform.
His voice instantly drowned out the noise at the scene.
Everyone looked at this three-meter-tall giant in horror.
And this was heard by Xia Luo (a character's name), who had just arrived.
"Forty-five million berries!"
Xia Luo murmured to himself.
Berries at this time weren't as devalued as they would be more than twenty years later. If converted to the value forty years later, he would be a big-time pirate with a bounty of over a hundred million.
Xia Luo wasn't really confident that he could deal with him.
Seeing that everyone at the scene was intimidated by him, Aries Jesse laughed heartily.
"Men, carry all the treasures in the town out. Kill anyone who dares to resist!"
Aries Jesse waved his hand.
"Charge!"
More than a hundred pirates rushed into the town with knives and guns in their hands.
"I'd like to see who dares!"
Xia Luo couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately jumped off the roof and punched two pirates at the front to death.
"Hmm? Who's that?"
Hearing the voice, Alex Jesse looked at the suddenly appeared young boy, and then burst into laughter.
"Kahaha! Kid, you dare to stop me? Go suck your mother's milk!"
The other pirates also burst into laughter after hearing this.
Xia Luo frowned.
Without a word, he jumped up and vanished from everyone's view, then suddenly appeared behind two minions.
Bang! Bang!
"Agh!"
The two minions instantly spit out blood and fell to the ground.
"Hmm?"
Alex Jesse frowned instantly. Looking at Xia Luo, he was then enraged.
"Guys, kill him!"
Alex Jesse pointed at Xia Luo with a two - meter - long broadsword.
"Kill! Charge!"
More than a hundred pirates rushed towards Xia Luo, holding flintlock guns and knives.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets shot towards Xia Luo rapidly.
But it was simply too easy for Xia Luo, who had Observation Haki.
He quickly turned his head and swayed his body to dodge the bullets one by one.
"What?"
Alex Jesse frowned deeply upon seeing this. It gave him a bad feeling. This kid was not easy to deal with.
Seeing so many pirates, Xia Luo was not panicked at all. Instead, he plunged into the pirate crowd and wildly waved the sword in his hand.
For a moment, the severed limbs of the pirates near Xia Luo flew everywhere.
Countless pirates wailed.
Xia Luo ignored these wails and focused on killing.
During the killing process, he felt a long - lost pleasure.
This kind of killing excited him greatly.
His previous depression and distress were well vented.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Xia Luo's eyes were bloodshot, and his weapon was covered in blood.
Many pirates were intimidated by Xia Luo's momentum and didn't dare to move forward actively.
But just because they didn't take the initiative didn't mean Xia Luo wouldn't.
More than a hundred pirates couldn't cause any harm to Xia Luo. Xia Luo rushed into the pirate group like a tiger into a flock of sheep, slashing wantonly.
"Damn it!"
Alex Jesse showed an angry expression as he saw that more than half of his subordinates were dead or injured. These crew members were the result of his painstaking efforts over three or four years. Now, most of them were lost on such a small island.
Compared with Alex Jesse's anger, the people still at the port looked surprised when they saw Xia Luo. After seeing Xia Luo killing people as easily as chopping vegetables, they showed shocked expressions, with their mouths wide open, unable to believe that it was Xia Luo who did it.
"Cool!"
Xia Luo let out a long howl towards the sky.
Suddenly, a terrifying qi burst out from his body.
This qi radiated outwards with Xia Luo as the center. After being exposed to this qi, both the pirates and the civilians fainted to the ground one by one.
Motionless.
This scene made Alex Jesse's eyes bulge.
"This is Conqueror's Haki. How could this kid have Conqueror's Haki!"
As an old pirate who had been roaming the seas for three or four years, Alex Jesse couldn't possibly not know about Conqueror's Haki.
And Xia Luo was still indulged in the killing.
Regardless of whether the pirates had fallen to the ground or not, someone was ruthlessly slaughtering them.
Alex Jesse was completely stunned with fear.
Ivan, who had arrived late, was also overwhelmed by the powerful [b]Conqueror's Haki[/b]. His body swayed, and he could hardly stand steady.
"Wh - what's going on?"
Ivan grabbed the nearby pillar and looked towards the battle with difficulty.
Then he witnessed a scene that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
His boss was mercilessly massacring the pirates. Among those around, only he and a three - meter - tall man on the platform remained standing.
The three - meter - tall man was looking at Xia Luo in shock.
With a single swing of the sword, the last pirate's head separated from his body.
After killing all the pirates,
Xia Luo let out a long howl towards the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
A Conqueror's Haki tinged with red and lightning once again swept through the surroundings.
This time, Ivan completely lost consciousness.
Alex Jesse propped himself up with his sword and crouched down halfway to resist Xia Luo's overwhelming aura.
