"Since you're not a pirate, can you let me go first?" Smoker asked, his eyes darting around.
"It's alright to let you go." Wang Han nodded, lifting the foot that was stepping on Smoker. Two quick-thinking Marines rushed over, each grabbing one foot and dragging the powerless Smoker back. (Smoker is a Devil Fruit user, and Seastone is effective against Devil Fruit users.)
"First, help me remove the seastone from my chest," Smoker said to the two soldiers as he was being dragged back. The two soldiers immediately did as he was told.
After taking the Seastone, Smoker finally stood up, gritted his teeth, looked at Wang Han, and said, "You say you're not a pirate, how are you going to prove it? If you can't prove it, I'm still going to arrest you."
“There’s no proof, but there is a reason. I don’t have a bounty, and I hate pirates. There’s nothing likable about people who would abandon their families for such a pointless dream. Of course, I don’t hate certain fake pirates (adventurers who use the name of pirates), but I personally would never become a pirate.” Wang Han said, “In addition, I do have some goodwill towards your Navy, but only at the bottom.”
"I'll believe your reasoning for now." Smoker nodded. He hadn't seen Wang Han's bounty, and he couldn't prove that Wang Han was a pirate, so he asked, "Then why did you kill these innocent people? If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I'll still arrest you."
"You talk as if you're so capable." Wang Han rolled his eyes, but still explained, "These people are all pirates, and they provoked me first, so I killed them. Of course, compared to your navy, my method is simpler and more direct. There aren't so many rules. I kill whoever I want. And remember to give me the bounty. There are two of them with bounties."
After saying that, Wang Han pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"Aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person? Can you be sure they're all pirates?" Smoker said, thinking to himself, "It seems this guy might not actually be a pirate."
“Colonel.” Dashira pulled Rasmogg.
"Damn, he actually blurted out what was on his mind." Smoker thought to himself, speechless, but his mouth still uttered the words.
"Mmm..." Smoker quickly covered his mouth, looking at Wang Han in surprise, finally stopping himself from revealing his inner thoughts. He knew that Wang Han had definitely used an unknown Devil Fruit ability on him.
"Of course we're not afraid of killing the wrong person. If we do, we do. Better to kill the wrong person than let one go." Wang Han glanced at Smoker and said nonchalantly, "Many people in your navy do the same thing and get extra credit for it."
"This idea is dangerous. It seems we still need to find a reason to arrest him first," Smoker thought to himself, but he said it aloud again.
"Damn it, this is your Devil Fruit ability, which makes people involuntarily say what they're thinking. Well, I won't think about anything else then." Smoker gritted his teeth and said, "Now, I'm still going to arrest you."
"Arrest me? As if you weren't the one who was just standing at my feet." Wang Han said with a smile to the naval soldiers behind Smoker, "You all agree, don't you?"
"How embarrassing!"
"He landed face down and slid across, his cigar went out."
"This is the first time I've seen a colonel so humiliated."
"If we tell the others when we get back, it'll definitely become another topic of conversation."
"You bastards!" Smoker roared, turning his head sharply. At the same time, he thought to himself, "When I get back, I'll definitely make things difficult for them."
"Smoker, you've blurted out your thoughts again," Tashigi quickly pulled Rasmoker aside, reminding him. He, too, had blurted out his own thoughts. "I didn't expect Smoker to be so petty."
"Mmm..." Tashigi quickly covered her mouth.
"Damn, he blurted out what he was thinking." One by one, the navy men quickly covered their mouths.
When Wang Han asked them just now, he used his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) feature on all of them, so that they would involuntarily say whatever was on their minds.
"Ah..." Smoker was practically going crazy. He stopped caring about his subordinates' complaints and immediately rushed towards Wang Han: "As long as I defeat you and put you in the Seastone handcuffs, your power will be canceled. The pretext for arresting you will be using your Devil Fruit power against the Navy."
"Then take your time arresting them. The sun is about to set, and I still have to chase after the escaped people, so I can't play with you anymore," Wang Han said with a smile, and instantly disappeared from the tavern.
“He…he got away…” Smoker froze. He muttered, “This…he got away, how do I remove his powers?”
"We're doomed," the naval soldiers behind Smoker said in unison. With the black-armored man's abilities still active, their future was uncertain.
"Chase after him immediately! We absolutely cannot let him get away!" Smoker shouted, leading the naval soldiers in pursuit.
————————————————
Meanwhile, Wang Han, who had disappeared from the tavern, reappeared atop the clock tower in Loguetown, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at the still-rising sun. "Enough time."
Wang Han took out a Mauser rifle from his backpack (bought during the Three Kingdoms modernization period; he couldn't keep using the Japanese rifles). After activating the radar, he selected the nearest red dot.
"Eye roll".
Wang Han's gaze pierced through a thousand meters, penetrated the walls, and landed on the person he had marked. Inside a tavern, a bald, burly man was drunkenly talking to others.
"Pretty relaxed." Looking at the bald, burly man in the tavern, he raised his Mauser rifle, attaching aimbot and wallhack to the bullets.
"Bang." A gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew out of the Mauser rifle at high speed, heading towards the bald, burly man in the tavern. The bullet flew out at high speed, passing through all the walls and people it encountered like a phantom.
"Pfft..." In the tavern, the bald, burly man who was shouting loudly with his head tilted back suddenly spat out blood and brain matter from between his eyebrows, and his body slumped to the ground powerlessly.
"What happened?"
"Murder?"
Inside the tavern, chaos erupted the moment the bald, burly man died. Hidden pirates quickly drew their weapons.
"One." Wang Han pulled back the bolt, ejected the shell, and selected another red dot. He used his white eye to observe and lock on, repeating the same action.
The next moment, in a hotel room, a hole suddenly appeared on the forehead of a man resting on a bed. Blood flowed down his forehead, staining the pillow red.
"two."
...
...
Sixteen.
Wang Han continued to repeat the action, bullet after bullet fired from the Mauser's muzzle, ignoring all obstacles except the target, and hitting the forehead without exception, whether the target was moving or stationary.
Those who dared to stay in the town have been dealt with; it's time for those who left.
