General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 601 Whitebeard’s benevolence

Salk Island is the territory of the Octopus Pirates, one of the vassal pirate groups under Whitebeard.

Walking in the town on the island, you can see from a distance the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates on the top of the tower in the center of the town.

In the New World, basically everyone knows Whitebeard's name, so wherever the Whitebeard flag is hung, there will generally be very few raids by other pirate forces.

So at this moment, Rorschach and Anilu, who were walking in Salk Town, clearly felt that the people living here were indeed very relaxed mentally.

The town is far from prosperous, and the surrounding buildings and houses are all ordinary brick and wooden houses.

Along the street, you can see some plainly dressed civilians going about their lives.

Occasionally, half-grown children chase and play on the roadside, shouting that they want to be pirates and follow the nursery rhymes of the invincible white-bearded father.

Everything seemed ordinary and peaceful.

"It seems that those pirate captains are not talking nonsense. In the territory under Whitebeard's rule, people's lives are indeed relatively stable."

Enelu said softly.

From the time he entered the island until now, the biggest feeling that Enel has felt is that the people on Salk Island have an inexplicable admiration for the Whitebeard Pirates.

The bar was noisy, and the surrounding drinkers were bragging loudly, making punches, and guessing dice to win.

"I don't have any impressions. What these pirates say is all praise for Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Pirates."

No matter where you are, places like bars and teahouses are always the most convenient and quickest places to get information.

"We have been sitting for a while, Enelu, what do you think now?"

In response, Rorschach just smiled softly, pointed to a house on the corner of the street ahead and said: "Don't make a conclusion too early, let's go to the pub in front and have a look."

The powerful knowledge and domineering power boosted by his Thunder Fruit ability is enough to easily cover the island under his feet.

This is somewhat different from other pirate-dominated territories in the New World.

It's quite a lifetime to pay the rent.

He did not lower his voice, but the strange thing was that neither the pirates drinking at the tables around them nor the bar owner who came to their table to refill their drinks seemed to have not heard Rorschach's voice at all.

"It's very simple. I just want to know whether Whitebeard is a good or bad person and whether he should die or not."

This is the tie of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He really didn't hear much useful information.

Rorschach picked up a piece of ham with only a slight salty taste and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, drank the last ale in the glass, waved to the bar owner, motioning for him to come over and add more wine, and then looked at Enel.

But it seems really different here.

The two of them walked into the bar with more than a dozen tables one after another. Because of their identical appearance and tall stature, they attracted the attention of many drinkers.

Therefore, it can be clearly distinguished whether the people living on the island are truly at ease.

It was different from the imagination that being ruled by pirates would be full of fear and despair. The people here lived surprisingly peaceful and peaceful lives, which was really beyond Enelu's expectation.

Rorschach suddenly smiled and made a suggestion that shocked Enelu.

Those who still have spare money and time to drink in bars during the day are basically pirates.

The life there seems prosperous and affluent, but the people living there are required to surrender part of their soul life to Auntie every year according to regulations.

"Captain Karma, these two guys want to join our Octopus Pirates."

Otherwise, based on what Rorschach just said, the pirates in the entire bar would probably attack him.

For example, the people living on the islands in Totland are extremely fearful and awe of their former ruler Charlotte Lingling and the Big Mom Pirates.

Enelu frowned slightly, but still told the truth.

"Since you can't tell, then why not..."

"Let's join the Whitebeard Pirates."

He didn't like playing riddles the most, so he asked directly.

Of course, compared to the territory ruled by the war madman Kaido, the residents of Totland who paid their life rent on time actually lived a relatively stable life.

Rorschach glanced at him and knew that Enel must have come to this conclusion by looking at more than just a corner of the town in front of him.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Enelu drank all the ale in his hand, and Rorschach had no intention of getting up and leaving.

Enelu was a little impatient and confused.

A few minutes later, the Octopus Pirates were stationed in Salk Town.

He has a strong sense of knowledge and domineering, and can also be keenly aware of the emotional changes of others.

It has been more than a year since Enel entered the New World, and he has visited many New World islands.

Rorschach didn't bother to talk to these drunkards. They just drank the low-quality ale in front of them slowly and tasted smoked bacon and cherry pie pizza.

Rorschach didn't care, ordered two large glasses of ale, a few plates of side dishes, and found a table to sit down at random.

After all, in this hellish place like the New World, no one can guarantee that they will still be alive tomorrow.

You can live a stable life if you shorten your life span. Even if you are still afraid in your heart, you can barely accept it.

Rorschach glanced at the pirate in the bar.

"What exactly do you want to know?"

A drunken bearded pirate pointed at Rorschach and Enel who were following behind him, and shouted at an octopus man with six arms and an octopus hat lying on his head.

This octopus man is the captain of the Octopus Pirates, Karma, one of the vassal captains under Whitebeard.

According to the files compiled by the Navy on the Whitebeard Pirates, Karma is a notorious slave trader in the New World.

It is worth mentioning that when Tianyue passed through the past decades ago, when he met Kozuki Oden, he was caught by Karma's subordinates and wanted to be sold as a slave.

Karma was also subdued by Whitebeard at that time and became a vassal pirate group under Whitebeard.

However, Rorschach was not convinced, so he wanted to come and see for himself.

He didn't want to be soft-hearted in the subsequent confrontation.

Because once the heart is soft, the fist is not strong enough.

"You want to join my pirate group? Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Karma's height is very average, less than 1.8 meters. For the fish-men race, he is basically the most common type.

He was currently packing his six long knives and seemed to be preparing to go out.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Karma raised his head and glanced at Rorschach and Enelu lightly, without showing much surprise.

There are so many people in the New World who are two to three meters tall. Rorschach and Enel's current height of 2.56 meters is considered to be a bad street level.

Only the same appearance and opposite hair colors, one gold and one silver, made the two of them stand out slightly.

Enil didn't say anything. Rorschach quickly nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Captain Kalma. My name is Enil, and this is my brother Eilu. We ran over from Totland, and the fighting there was too fierce. , we couldn’t survive anymore, so we thought about coming over and joining the Whitebeard Pirates. Originally, we wanted to find Father Whitebeard..."

"Coming from the Totlan Sea again?" Karma was stunned.

Since Big Mom's death, many pirates in Totland have indeed escaped.

Situations like what Rorschach and Eniro said are often seen.

The Whitebeard Pirates have grown a lot as a result.

"You were pirates before? Which pirate group? How much is the bounty?"

Karma hung the six long knives on his waist one by one and asked again.

"We are not pirates, and there is no bounty on our heads. We are just civilians."

Rorschach's answer made Karma frown.

He looked Rorschach and Enelu up and down.

Although Enelu remained sullen and silent, Rorschach also behaved honestly.

But as an experienced pirate who has been exploring the new world for many years, Karma's keen intuition made him notice that there was a trace of evil hidden deep in the eyes of the two brothers Aini and Elu in front of him.

That's the aura that comes from someone who has killed someone before. Moreover, many people have been killed.

Karma sneered in his heart, pulled out a long knife from his waist, looked at Rorschach with eager eyes, and sneered: "You didn't tell the truth, Aini, you also know that this is dad's territory. We white beards The Pirates are the most united pirate group in the world. We are all father's children and we all believe in each other unconditionally. We do not welcome people like you who hide the past."

"Captain Karma, I...we..."

Rorschach hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth under Karma's gaze.

"Our brothers are really not pirates. They used to be... little gangsters in the town. Just because they disobeyed the security officers in the town, they got angry and killed many people before running out."

"Why should you hide something like this?! Killing a few people is not a big deal in the new world! Boy! Tell me! Is there something else you are hiding from me?!"

The long knife in Karma's hand pointed at Rorschach's neck with a swipe, as fast as the wind.

Rorschach was so frightened that his face turned pale, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body began to tremble.

His voice was trembling and crying as he hurriedly explained: "No... no! Captain Karma! I just heard that Whitebeard is the most benevolent pirate. My brother and I have killed many civilians, and our hands are not clean. I'm afraid that if I speak out, my father will kill me."

"Why are you killing civilians?" Karma asked sternly without putting down the long knife in his hand.

"We didn't do it on purpose. Those civilians are too weak, like ants, they will break with just a touch. Captain Karma! If the Whitebeard Pirates don't want us, we... we can leave." Rorschach When your legs become weak, you have to kneel down and beg for mercy.

However, Karma ignored Rorschach's last sentence and became interested. He withdrew the long knife that frightened Rorschach and could not stand still. He looked at Rorschach and Enel and said with interest: "Oh? Too much." Are you weak? So you two brothers are very strong? Show it off."

"I don't dare to show off in front of Captain Kalma." Rorschach shrank his neck, as if he was still frightened by Kalma's long knife just now.

"Cowardly as a mouse! Yitus! Give me a try on their level!"

Karma glared at the shrinking Rorschach in displeasure and shouted.

"Yes! Captain!"

A three-meter-five-meter-tall strong fishman came in response, opened his two thick arms, and swept his arms at Rorschach and Enilu at the same time.

The dozens of pirates in the yard all had smiles on their faces as they were waiting for Rorschach and Enel, two country bumpkins from Totland, to be beaten to the ground by the first mate of their Octopus Pirates.

then……

"Oh!"

There was an explosion, and Yitus, who was majestic and bigger than Rorschach and Enelu combined, groaned, and his huge body flew out through the air, knocking out several pirates watching the show behind him. After the collision caused him to vomit blood, he still kept his momentum and crashed into the wooden house behind, smashing the thick brick walls and wooden boards to pieces.

"what?"

The pirates in the yard were all dumbfounded. They all stared at Rorschach and Enel who were waving their arms to block.

"What happened? Why did First Officer Ites fly out?"

"Are you kidding? Ites is a big pirate with a bounty of 160 million beli! How can two mere gangsters beat him away?"

Karma was also stunned.

But this time he did not pull out the long sword, but looked at Luo Xia and Enelu in surprise and asked: "What kind of physical skills are you doing? Is it so powerful?"

Rorschach scratched his head in confusion, "Huh? We don't know any physical skills. Our brothers are just born with supernatural powers."

"Innate divine power?"

Karma and all the pirates were stunned.

"Our brothers are born with such great strength and can eat very much, so they often get into trouble and are not welcomed by the people in the town..."

"Let me test your strength!"

Karma interrupted Rorschach's words, stepped on her feet, and her short body suddenly jumped over. All six arms were swung towards Rorschach, and they were actually covered in a layer of pitch black color.

This guy actually used his armed color Haki.

Rorschach still used the same action as he had just blocked Ites, clumsily hugging his head and face, and swung his two arms out randomly.

"Oh!"

There was another explosion, and the wind was raging in the yard. The pirates around him could hardly stand still, and they were knocked over one by one while screaming.

Karma grunted as he flew up, and followed in the footsteps of his first mate Ites. His thin body flew backwards like a cannonball and crashed through the wall behind him.

But this time, Rorschach was also thrown away by his six arms, crashed through the courtyard wall, and rolled onto the long street outside, causing chaos.

"Dammit! Get 'em!"

When the pirates saw their captain Karma being beaten away by Rorschach, they were immediately furious. They picked up their swords and guns and surrounded Rorschach and Eniro.

"Everyone, stop it!"

Suddenly, Karma's voice came from the hole-in-the-wall house.

The pirates stopped one after another, turned around, and saw their captain, Karma, striding out of the broken house with a smile on his face. He didn't look displeased at all, but was overjoyed.

He walked up to Rorschach who was knocked to the ground, pulled the dizzy Rorschach up from the ground, laughed and patted Rorschach's arm.

"Very good! Brother Aini, you and your brother Elu can follow me, Karma, from now on. With your joining, our Octopus Pirates may soon surpass Scuyard and Whitey." Let them become the strongest vassal pirate group under my father!"

"Really? Captain Karma?" Rorschach was overjoyed, but also whispered nervously: "But, we killed many civilians, dad..."

Karma waved her hands proudly.

"Don't worry! Dad won't care about those little things!"

Karma had already seen clearly the temptation just now.

It turned out that Rorschach was really just blocking with pure brute force, without any skills. He was just blocking, blocking and knocking away his armed attack.

This kind of inhuman brute force reminded Karma of two other famous brothers in the New World, the Vanke brothers.

I heard that those two brothers were born with supernatural powers, and without any training, they had a body as strong as a hardened weapon.

The two brothers in front of me are probably the same type of people.

Karma suddenly felt the joy of finding a treasure.

In order to reassure these two brothers, Aini and Elu, Karma continued:

“We are pirates in the new world, how can we not kill people?

Why do you think dad is called the strongest man in the world? Do you think it’s just a rumor that the earthquake fruit will destroy the world?

When did Dad take action, the world turned upside down and a tsunami spread? Those submerged island towns gave Dad his unrivaled reputation!

If you don't kill people, how can you scare Kaido and Red Hair and the others, and how can you scare the navy? "

"It's just a matter of killing a few people. In our Whitebeard Pirates, there is only one insurmountable iron law, and that is... we are absolutely not allowed to kill our companions!"

Karma's words resonated with the surrounding pirates, with a look of awe on their faces.

"That's right! This is dad's benevolence and righteousness! Dad's mind is as broad as the sea in the new world. He often says that everyone is a child of the sea. He treats us all equally under his command."

"This is our Whitebeard Pirates, the most united pirate group in the world."

After receiving Rorschach's affirmative reply, Karma was satisfied and very happy to have gained two capable subordinates.

He knew very well that people like Aini and Ailu, who had monster-like physical talents without polishing, had great potential for growth.

Without practicing physical skills, without awakening the two-color Haki, he could defeat Ites, who had a bounty of 160 million, with just strength, and could block his own fist wrapped in Haki.

What if they awaken their domineering energy in the future and let the captains teach them two powerful physical techniques?

Maybe there will be two captain-level pirates in his Octopus Pirates.

When she thought of this, Karma couldn't help but want to laugh with joy.

"This is really pie in the sky, making a lot of money."

He looked at Anilu, who had been silent, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Aini, why is your brother Ailu silent all the time?"

"Oh? He, his brain was burned out due to illness when he was young. His IQ is only three years old, and he can't even speak."

Rorschach patted Enelu's shoulder and laughed.

Enilu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to shoot a bolt of lightning into Rorschach's face.

God damn Aini and Ailu, I am the god of thunder on the Sky Island, when did my brains get burned out and I can’t even speak?

"Oh, that's pathetic."

Karma's eyes showed sympathy.

"By the way, Captain Karma, I think you were planning to go out just now. Are you going to sea? I wonder if you can take us with you? We brothers have just joined, and we really want to show off and contribute to the pirate group. " Rorschach, who had just joined the Octopus Pirates, took the initiative to ask.

"Hahaha, what you said is quite straightforward! Okay! I do plan to go to sea to attack the Northman group on Isaac Island. Since you want to go, let's go together! With the help of your brothers this time, I will definitely If we can capture them, I will give you some women to play with!"
