Creek's voice, filled with fear and disbelief, squeezed out from his throat, sounding unusually sharp.
The crew members behind him saw their boss lose his composure and ran to Creek's side, looking towards the beach.
"Continue"
"Admiral of the Navy! Tsugikuni Yoriichi?!"
Tsugakuin Yoriichi's face is so iconic and easy to recognize. Tsugakuin Yoriichi is handsome. Compared with most people in this world, it can be said that he has two completely different "styles". What's more, Yoriichi's iconic red hair and the red markings on his forehead all deepen people's impression of him.
The next second after recognizing Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the pirates on Creek's ship fell into chaos.
Before Captain Creek could even give a word, some pirates had already panicked and informed their companions in the cockpit to turn the ship around and sail away from the coast.
However, it is a little too late to think of escaping at this time.
"I didn't expect that there would be other pirates who would set their sights on the Goa Kingdom."
"The reputation of the Red Hair Pirates can't even frighten the pirates of the East China Sea."
"I don't know if the Red Hair Pirates are too useless, or if you pirates just don't know your place."
Ji Guoyuan placed his hand on the hilt of the long sword, and with a light pull, he removed the sword from his waist. After casually inserting the scabbard into the sand, Ji Guoyuan walked towards the pirate ship on the coast while slowly pulling the blade out of the seastone scabbard.
"Damn it!"
"Attack! Quick, attack this guy!"
Seeing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly approaching the ship, Creek suppressed his fear and growled. However, his shouting failed to sway his own men, and the deck of the pirate ship was still in a state of panic.
"Asshole, the other party is just one person!"
"What are you guys afraid of?"
"Attack, attack him!"
Creek looked back at the pirates running in panic on the deck, and finally overcame the fear in his heart. When he turned to look at Yoriichi Tsugakuni again, his face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked crazy.
"Bang!!!"
Creek quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it directly at Yuichiro Tsugikuni on the beach, and pulled the trigger.
“It’s really sad.”
Yoriichi Tsugikuni tilted his head slightly, and a bullet shot past his cheek. Yoriichi murmured softly, and swung the long sword in his hand diagonally towards the ship in front of him.
On the deck of the ship, Creek saw Ji Guoyuan dodged the bullet by just turning his head. His pupils shrank slightly and he was ready to continue shooting.
But at this moment, the ship suddenly shook violently, and Creek was caught off guard and fell directly onto the railing. Creek could clearly see that the deck of the ship seemed to have lost its support and was falling down.
"W-What happened?"
The pirates on the ship also felt the movement, and they grabbed whatever they could get their hands on nearby, trying to stand firm and screaming in surprise.
A crack appeared on the pirate ship's hull, running through it. The upper and lower halves began to separate, and the deck slowly slid down the diagonal surface into the sea.
With just one strike, this pirate ship, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people living and fighting, suffered irreparable damage.
What was destroyed by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's slash was not only the pirate ship, but also the ambitions and dreams of the Creek Pirates.
"Bang!!!!!" The upper body of the pirate ship slid directly into the sea, and the waves it stirred up surged in all directions.
At this time, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had already slipped onto a protruding reef on the shore. Looking at the frightened and panicked pirates in the sea, he silently took out the Den Den Mushi in his arms.
"I'm Yoriichi Tsugikoku."
"I received news that pirates have landed on the north coast of the Kingdom of Goa."
"Go check it out."
Tsugakuni Yoriichi was contacting the Sword of Dawn Navy stationed in Windmill Village. He would not kill these pirates, as Tensei's words had more or less had some influence on him.
Unless the criminals have been proven guilty, when facing such an unknown pirate group, it is better to leave the task of judging them to the right people.
We can't let the Judicial Island and the Undersea Prison become mere decorations, right?
The pirates were actually quite good at swimming, and the place where the pirate ship was destroyed was very close to the coast. In order to avoid being swept away by the waves and into the seabed, the pirates tried their best to grab floating objects and swam towards the beach.
Creek was the best swimmer, and at that time he had not yet put on the heavy golden armor. After falling into the sea, he quickly swam to the shore.
As Tsugikuni Yoshiichi looked at the pirates who were coming ashore one after another, he gently turned the long sword in his hand, and then his figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Creek. Before Creek could react, the back of the long sword in Yoshiichi's hand hit Creek's shoulder and neck hard.
"Well--"
A huge force came, Creek opened his mouth and let out a painful murmur, then he lost consciousness in an instant and fell on the beach.
After knocking down Creek, Ji Guoyuan raised his long sword, moved his shoulder joint, and then his figure flashed and rushed directly towards the rest of the pirates.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of muffled sounds rang out on the beach, and the figure of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin shuttled among the pirates. As his figure flashed, the long sword in Yoshikazu Tsugakuin's hand could often accurately attack the pirates' shoulders and necks.
The pirates couldn't even see what Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was doing. Most of them didn't even react to what was happening. They fell to the beach with their eyes black.
The Creek Pirates have a large number of members, but for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the number of pirates of this level is completely meaningless.
When the navy of Sword of Dawn found this beach, there was no trace of Yoriichi Tsugikuni anymore. There were only the wreckage of the pirate ship washed ashore by the waves and the pirates lying on the beach "sleeping".
The young lieutenant in the lead saw the pirate flag of the Creek Pirates from the wreckage of the pirate ship. Although they still couldn't recognize who these pirates were, this did not prevent them from arresting the members of the Creek Pirates.
One after another, more than a hundred people were escorted to the Dawn warship docked in Windmill Village. After sending these people to the prison on the warship, the navy also began to investigate the identities of the Creek Pirates.
Fortunately, the Creek Pirates are not just some fledgling pirates.
He is now a "big pirate" with a bounty of 3 million!
For the ordinary navy of the East China Sea, capturing the Creek Pirates was definitely a great achievement, but for the navy of the Sword of Dawn, it was a bit boring.
Having seen many storms and waves, they did not take pirates of this level seriously at all.
Moreover, the Navy of the Sword of Dawn had no intention of "picking up" this kind of merit. After examining the identities of this group of people, they contacted a nearby naval branch and asked that naval branch to take over and send these people to Push City.
The appearance of the Creek Pirates was originally thought by Ji Kuniyoshi to be an accident, a ridiculous incident caused by the fledgling pirates who were unable to recognize their own mistakes.
But unexpectedly, similar things happened one after another in the following days.
The Kingdom of Goa seemed to have turned into some kind of "Tang Monk's meat", attracting all kinds of monsters from the East China Sea.
Ji Guoyuan was a little surprised by this situation. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly figured out the connection.
This must be because the news of the Red Hair Pirates taking over the Goa Kingdom spread. Seeing that the Red Hair Pirates had occupied a country without attracting an attack from the navy, these pirates in the East China Sea also followed suit.
More and more pirates are coming to the Goa Kingdom. Some pirates come to challenge the Red Hair Pirates, hoping to replace Red Hair and become the "king" of this country. Some pirates come to join the Kingdom for the sake of Red Hair's reputation.
The earthquake that occurred in the Kingdom of Goa is affecting the East China Sea and even the entire world.
After crushing the Creek Pirates, Yoriichi Tsugakuni rarely left Shanks' ship, but he also knew something about what was happening in the East China Sea.
His sources of intelligence came from reports from his subordinates and from the mouths of Beckmann and others.
Although Red Hair took over the power of this country, he did not live in the palace. The same was true for the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates. They did not like luxurious and comfortable beds, but preferred the small cabin and small bed of the Red Force.
No matter how busy the Red Hair Pirates are during the day, they will return to the ship at night to drink, eat, chat and sing together.
While chatting with them, Yoriichi Tsugakuni also obtained a lot of information that was different from his subordinates. Beckman and the others did not hide anything from Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Want to know why?
Perhaps in the eyes of Shanks, Beckman and others, there was nothing shameful about what they were doing.
The number of pirates invading the Kingdom of Goa began to increase slowly. After resisting the Creek Pirates, Yoriichi Tsugakuni did not take action again. The main reason was that his subordinates learned of Yoriichi Tsugakuni's existence when they interrogated the Creek Pirates.
Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi gave a perfunctory answer to his subordinates' inquiries, if the same thing happened more often, Yoriichi's subordinates would not be fools and would always be able to find some clues.
Since Tsugakuinichi did not take action, the task of resisting the pirates naturally fell on Shanks.
If you want to become the new king of this country, protecting the safety of the people is of course your responsibility.
Shanks was worrying about how to quickly establish his prestige among the people. The appearance of these pirates helped him solve this "pain" very well.
It didn't take long for Shanks to complete his transformation from "the hateful pirate who seized the throne" to "the hero who protects the people".
The speed was so fast that even Yoshiichi Tsugikuni was a little surprised.
Although the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected, the direction of development was generally similar to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's goal.
After Shanks had gained a certain popular base, he began to take action against Duan Town, a gathering place for gangsters and criminals.
However, when Shanks began to actively target the town of Digging Duan, he had an "unexpected gain". The evil forces here were organized and disciplined, and the sources of their wealth were also diverse.
Theft and robbery were minor matters, but several of the leading factions were actually connected to some of the nobles in Gao Town. Some of the nobles had strange habits that were clearly impossible to achieve through normal channels.
At this time, the human traffickers and thieves in Duanzhen come in handy.
Power, wealth, and evil forces, when these three are combined, the kind of evil that can arise is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although Shanks has a good temper and would not kill easily, after digging out the real financial backers behind Duanzhen, Shanks could no longer contain his anger. He traced back and purged a group of nobles who did not flee the country.
At nightfall.
"Honey, is there still no news about Sabo's whereabouts?"
"So many days have passed, and the person you're looking for hasn't given you any news yet?"
"I heard that pirate started targeting nobles."
"I heard that Duke Mile and his son were killed just yesterday!"
In the study of Baron Ottolock's manor, Sabo's mother sat on the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, and asked her husband about her son's condition with some concern.
These days, the Red Hair Pirates raised and lowered their butcher knives, killing countless people, which really scared the little woman.
"No news. Duan Town is in chaos right now. I heard that the pirate's deputy, Ben Beckman, personally led people to Duan Town and sealed it off."
“The people I hired were unable to do their jobs.”
"The true nature of that pirate group has been exposed. They actually killed people with those lame excuses!"
"I've already had people preparing the boats. We have to leave this country. The longer we stay, the more danger we'll face."
Baron Ottolock sat behind the desk, his eyes full of worry, and said in a deep voice.
"Walk?"
"But...Sabo..."
Without waiting for his wife to finish her speech, Baron Ottolock raised his hand and interrupted:
"We can't take care of him anymore, let him destroy himself!"
Baron Ottolock slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily.
Just as Baron Ottolock and his wife were having a private conversation in the study, the window of a room on the third floor of the manor was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Whoa--" After a light sound, Sabo's head popped out of the window, and then he skillfully pulled the window sill and flipped over into the room.
"Boom~"
An undetectable sound was heard in the room, waking up the person who was still asleep on the bed.
“Sabo!!”
A scream rang out in the room. Sabo, who had just climbed into the house, was startled by the sudden sound. He turned his head and saw Stelly sitting up on the bed with a look of surprise on his face.
"Steley?"
"How come you are in my room?"
Sabo quickly gathered himself together and uttered a low cry under his breath.
Hearing this, Steli subconsciously opened his mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly his breath stopped, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Sabo:
"Why am I in your room?"
"Isn't this simple?"
"Dad and Mom no longer consider you as their son. They only have one child now, and that's me—Stally!"
"You've been out for so long, didn't you realize they haven't even looked for you?"
"How can a disobedient boy like you become the eldest son of a baron's family?"
Even in the world of pirates, the term "eldest son" of the aristocratic class has a different meaning, which contains special responsibilities and rights.
“.”
Sabo was still too young after all. Although he was very smart, he was confused when he sneaked back home this time and found that Stelly, who had always been at odds with him, lived in his direction.
At this time, he believed what Staley said without thinking about it carefully.
Children are children after all. They will also compare with each other and be jealous of each other. Sabo also has this emotion, but it is weaker than ordinary people, but it does exist.
"Sabo."
"Why are you back?"
"Don't tell me you want to be a good child to your father and mother again?"
"Haha, don't even think about it. There's no such possibility. There's not even a room for you in this house!"
Steli's words pierced Sabo's heart, and Sabo looked around at the furnishings in the room.
As Sterley said, there was no trace of Sabo's life in this room anymore.
“.”
After a short silence, Sabo said:
"I have no intention of coming back."
"I just wanted to make sure they were both safe."
"Seeing you look so energetic, they should be doing well."
Sabo smiled, a smile that was somewhat forced and ironic. Turning his head, Sabo took a deep look at Stelly, who was lying on his bed. Then, without looking back, he climbed out of the window. After crawling back to the ground, Sabo used the moonlight to quickly climb over the protective forest beside the manor.
Stelly got out of bed, stood by the window, and looked at Sabo who disappeared from his sight. His eyebrows curved and he showed a bright smile.
That night, Sabo truly became a homeless child.
And he will also get a new home, in that new home, there will be his real brother, and a room that the two brothers share.
