Beard King
Three days later.
The sun is shining brightly on the sea, and the weather on the Grand Line is intermittent. Half a day ago, it was a rainstorm, and now it is a big sun, and the heat makes people sweat.
Kuro was lying leisurely on a deck chair next to an umbrella erected by a Marine. There were a few cold drinks on the table near the deck chair.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannon fire came from the ship and the shell exploded near a Pirate Ship in the water ahead. After a few rounds of firing, the mast of the Pirate Ship was hit by a shell and broke.
“Okay, stop.”
Crowe, who was at the side, made Captain stop the bombardment and stepped on the edge of the ship. He kicked off and used Geppō (Moonwalk) to step on the air towards Pirate Ship.
Bang bang bang!
Sparks flew from the pirate ship as lead bullets flew towards Crowe in the sky.
“Iron.”
Crowe happened to reach the top of the Pirate Ship at this time. Without looking, his body slightly solidified, and after the lead bullets hit him a few times, he let Crowe’s body descend.
Then, there were screams.
Then the Pirate Ship fell into silence, and Kro flew up again and came back again, but this time he was carrying two pirates in his hand.
Snap.
He threw the pirates on the deck and several Marines pounced on them and tied up two injured pirates.
“Two bounty criminals.”
Crowe took out a clean towel from his pocket and wiped the blood off his hands.
“You’ve worked hard. Come and have a drink.”
Kuro pointed to the cold drinks on the table and said.
“How can it be fixed!”
Suddenly, the three-bearded man in the captain’s hat who was tied up by Marine knocked Marine away and pulled out the knife from Marine’s waist and went straight to Kuro on the recliner.
Leda, who was lying on the side, raised her head slightly and was about to move when she saw Kuro waving at her and sitting up. He slowly took out a cigar from his arms, put it in his mouth, and took out a lighter to light it.
“Hu…”
He took a deep breath and the smoke brewed in his mouth and was sprayed out. The smoke of the cigar turned into a straight line and sprayed on the face of the rushing pirate, as if it was alive and drilled into his eyes and nose.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
The sudden choking sensation made the pirate bend over and cough. Then, Marine reacted and pressed the pirate to the ground.
“Let me go, let me go!”
The pirate kept struggling and was hit on the back of his head by a Marine with the butt of his gun. He became much quieter.
“Sigh…”
Kuro shook his head at him and asked Crowe, “Which ship is it?”
“Eight,” Crowe answered.
Kuro looked back at the pirate with three beards. “Is this also a beard?”
“‘Trident’ Augustine, bounty of 16 million, and also his Field Captain, ‘Madman’ Kelfin, bounty of 7 million.” Crowe continued to answer.
“Eight ships, eight ships in three days…”
Kuro stood up and walked towards the pirate who was pressed down by Marine. He kicked him in the chin and sent him flying and hit the edge of the ship.
“Including you, eight ships means five beards, five! My Battleship is about to become the headquarters of the Beards. Those who know will say that they are pirates, and those who don’t know will think that they are all bandits!”
Kuro gritted his teeth. “Isn’t it good that you like beards so much to be bandits? So what if you look down on bandits? The Mountain Bandit King is also very impressive! He can kill 56 Yonkō (Four Emperors), why is he a pirate…”
In three days, plus the ‘Flame Sword’ he encountered before, he had already encountered eight Pirates.
The average probability is not even half a day and you can meet one. This frequency is so high that it makes Kuro feel annoyed, especially when there are all kinds of beard nicknames in these eight Pirates.
In his current cabin prison, there are ‘Greybeard’, ‘Redbeard’, ‘Chrysanthemumbeard’, ‘Mountainbeard’, plus ‘Tridentbeard’, there are five beards.
It had only been a few days since Whitebeard’s death and he had grown a lot of beard for no reason, which made Kuro stunned.
If he can encounter so many mustaches when he goes out to patrol, then there must be a lot of beards in the whole world.
Do these people want to be Pirate King or Beard King?
“Shave his beard and go down to accompany those dead mustaches.” Kuro waved his hand and asked Marine to take the two pirates down.
Then, his body flew up and floated to the pirate ship. With a touch of his hand, the pirate ship floated up and then reversed, pouring all the seriously injured pirates inside into the sea. Only then did the ship float up and hide in the sky.
Kuro reached out and a huge wave rose, drowning all the pirates who fell into the sea. After doing all this, he returned to the ship.
“Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel!”
Suddenly, the Captain ran over with a Den Den Mushi in his arms and said: “I have received a distress message, it is from our Marine!”
At this moment, Den Den Mushi looked extremely frightened, and his voice was intermittent, as if he was seriously injured.
“Help, help, I’m Marine, I’m in Tada Town, come and save me… No, don’t, don’t come over! Ahhh!!”
On the Den Den Mushi’s end, there were a few muffled roars, then the Marine’s screams and the faint sound of sharp weapons cutting into flesh, and then there was no more sound.
Kuro narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “What happened?”
The Captain could not bear it and said, “We just received a distress signal from Tada Town. Our colleague… seems to have been killed.”
“Tada Town?”
Crowe was stunned. “Are you sure it’s Tada Town?”
“Yes, I also find it a little unbelievable.” The Captain nodded.
Seeing Kuro looking at him in confusion, Crowe explained, “Tada Town belongs to the Tada Kingdom and is the only port town in that kingdom. Although the kingdom is small, the people there are famous for being fierce. That kingdom is most famous for ‘burning’ criminals and they like to burn them to death in public. They are also very crazy when they fight and generally no pirates will go there to invade.”
“Although Marines have a base there, it is generally used for conscription. They are not needed in real battles. There is a very strong existence in Tada Town. Even a big pirate will not go there easily. After all, the Tada Kingdom is not very rich.”
“Eh?”
Listening to Crowe, Leda sat up and said, “Are you talking about the Gatekeeper Gugas?”
“That’s right.”
Crowe nodded. “I read the newspaper some time ago and saw his news. He single-handedly annihilated a pirate group with a total bounty of nearly 150 million pirates.”
Hearing this, Kuro raised his eyebrows slightly. This level is very powerful.
“The next location on Log Pose is there?” Kuro looked at the Captain.
“Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.”
“Then let’s go and take a look.” Kuro’s eyes were calm and he was not in the mood to sunbathe.
If an existence of this level can be guarded and Marines can rescue them, then the attacker must not be an ordinary person.
A criminal who ran out of the sixth floor?
These people are starting to cause trouble now?
