Chapter 26: Such a Personality
[After writing the last stroke, blood splashed onto the ground and slowly sank into the soil.]
[Gurgle…]
[Everyone stared blankly at the bloody words on the water tank, swallowing their saliva uncontrollably. For a moment, no one dared to speak or move.]
[After a long time, someone finally bravely ran to the water tank and saw the tragic death of Lugia, the captain of the Wind Chaser Pirates, under the water. He hesitated and said, "Do we really want to... collect the bounty and send it here?"]
[Everyone looked at each other, and saw that there was still fear on each other's faces.]
[“What if there is no other way?” Someone said faintly, “If we don’t listen to the evil spirit, the one lying on the ground will become us, right?”]
[He pointed to the corpses of pirates on the ground. Everyone shuddered.]
[Finally, the surviving residents suppressed their fear, and after a brief discussion, they immediately took action to move the bodies of the pirates on the ground together.]
【Dim moonlight, grim streets.】
[People were walking around, the men were pushing carts together to carry the bodies, the women were carrying clean water to wash the streets... Everyone was busy in silence.]
[And in the middle of the street, these people coming and going constantly crossed paths with a dark humanoid armor, but they were unaware of it. ]
[The eyes on the faceplate of "BIB" glowed white as he silently watched these people busy themselves, fishing out the body of Lugia, the captain of the Wind Chaser Pirates, whose head was the most valuable, from the water tank.]
[When I was almost done with the work, the sky was gradually turning white and it was almost dawn. ]
[The old mayor, still in his pajamas, called a dozen young men and asked them to escort the pile of pirate corpses to the Navy Branch Base in exchange for the bounty.]
[And the rumors about this thrilling night of killing spread unstoppably across the island.]
【"BIB" saw that the time was almost up, so he left and returned to his home on the edge of the royal city. He passed through the walls like a ghost and came to the bedroom where his real body was.】
[It stretched out its left hand with blue flame patterns, and pulled out the chip from the Flower-Flower Fruit inside its main body, which was sleeping soundly on the bed. It then transformed itself into pitch-black energy and flowed back into its main body.]
[Lin Qi felt like he was being sleep paralyzed. He felt pain all over his body and had nightmares one after another. After a while, he woke up with a frown on his face and sweat all over his body.]
[“Just mess with your father!” He sat up and cursed, rubbing his forehead and sorting out the memories of the substitute that flooded into his mind.]
…
Lin Qi drank the fresh flower milk tea in one gulp and breathed a sigh of relief.
After retrieving the substitute in the early morning, all the experiences of the substitute last night were integrated with him, as if he had done it himself.
The screams of those pirates... the feeling of their brains being crushed by the hands of the Stand...
"Strange, I don't feel too much discomfort!"
Lynch clenched his palms and muttered to himself. He looked at the dark "Iron Man" standing quietly beside him and asked playfully: "Is it because you liberated the devil in my heart, or is it - this is my nature?"
"BIB" also looked at the main body and seemed to be grinning.
No, its visor doesn't even have a mouth, how can it smile! Lin Qi realized that it was himself who was smiling.
"Lynch, are you okay?" Robin was cleaning up the dishes and inadvertently discovered that Lynch was smiling at the air. His smile looked scary, which scared her.
Lin Qi stood up and said, "I'm fine, very good!"
He stretched and prepared for his morning exercise.
"Oh, by the way, Robin." Lynch said without turning his head, "I have a feeling that we won't be on this island for long."
In the recovered stand memory, the captain of the Wind Chaser Pirates, Lugia, mentioned "gunpowder" in his unwilling roar before his death last night. Did he mean that he was cheated by the gangs on this island?
Robin was slightly startled and whispered, "Oh, I see."
She really wanted to ask, if they were to leave the island, would they go together...
"Pop, pop!" The green Den Den Mushi nimbly climbed down from the table and happily chased the black armor to the yard where Lynch was training.
………………
At the Naval Branch Base, the Marines stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.
The old mayor led a group of young and strong men, pushing a cart with piles of corpses and stopped at the gate of the base. The strong smell of blood almost made the Marines fall over.
"Is it the Wind Chaser Pirates?!"
"How is it possible? How could that Lugia be... ah, it's Lugia! He was really killed!!"
"That's a powerful pirate with 17 million berries..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Marines, especially the new recruits who had not been in service for long, could not help but whisper to each other.
The old mayor negotiated with the naval officer at the base and said in a deep voice: "The bounty order says that it doesn't matter whether the pirate is dead or alive, right? Then, after examining the pirate's body, please pay the full bounty..."
“Ah, ah!” The lieutenant of the branch came to his senses and shouted, “Quickly bring all the bounty orders of the Wind Chaser Pirates over here and verify the identities of these bodies!”
"Yes!" The Marines stood at attention and took action.
After a while, the Marines brought over a thick bound copy of the bounty warrant and moved out the bodies pushed in by the young men in the town one by one to compare them with the photos on the bounty warrant.
"Wind Chaser Pirates, Lugia, verified, bounty 17 million Baileys!"
"Wind Chaser Pirates, Matt, verified, bounty 9.1 million Baileys!"
"Wind Chaser Pirates, Noxia, verified, bounty 7.2 million Baileys!"
"The Wind Chaser Pirates..."
The bodies of the once vicious pirates were counted one by one. The marines' hands were shaking, and it was unclear whether they were happy or shocked.
The branch lieutenant asked the old mayor in confusion, "Can I ask how you dealt with them? With all due respect, I don't think the people in your town have the strength to wipe out the famous Wind Chaser Pirates..."
One of the young and strong men looked unhappy, as if he had recalled some bad memories. "Yeah, if it wasn't for..."
"Shut up!" The old mayor's face darkened, and he rudely scolded the lieutenant of the navy branch. "Do I have the obligation to answer you? Anyway, these pirates were killed by people from our town, so you can just record it like this! If there must be a reason, you can write that they were beaten to death by people from our town, or that these pirates usually do all kinds of evil things, so when they came ashore to attack our town, they suddenly died suddenly and their bodies were lying on the street... Anyway, the bodies are yours, and the bounty is ours!"
"Damn old man..." The lieutenant wiped his face and cursed in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to argue with such an old man, so he held back his anger. "Don't worry! There are many pirate hunters who are unwilling to explain the battle situation and bring corpses to collect the bounty... Since the bodies of the Wind Chaser Pirates are here, the bounty will definitely be paid!"
How dare you not keep your promise! The old mayor cursed in his heart. If the navy dared to default on its debt, he would lead the whole village to stay at the navy base. Anyway, they would not dare to go back empty-handed!
God knows what the evil spirit of the so-called Pirate King will do if he doesn't see the money! ………………
In the afternoon, on Nanga Island, in a house near the palace.
The dim sunlight came in through the window, casting the faces of the people in the room in half light and half dark.
The muscular man in a black suit and black coat held a cigar in his mouth, puffed out a puff of green smoke, slapped the table and laughed sinisterly: "Since the evil spirit of the so-called Pirate King is still on this island, it proves that the Devil's Son is still here!"
