I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 451: Shatter the Thunder!

It's stormy in Storm City today.

Thunder, wind and rain swept across the main island and sub-island of O'Hara. Local residents were well prepared and put on raincoats and held up umbrellas, or ran back to their homes or shops to take shelter from the rain.

According to past experience, O'Hara's storms come in two forms: either three or four consecutive days in a month, or they come in segments, with an average of about five or six days in total each time within a month.

It is only five days into this month, and it has already rained once at the beginning of the month, which is the second average segmented method.

So many people did not go home, but appeared in bars and restaurants, watching the rain and relaxing.

Even foreign merchants and pirates would find a place to rest in the city.

The restaurants and hotels near the port are basically occupied by these people. Some are relatively quiet, while others are very mixed.

For example, there is a mixed restaurant two streets away from the port. It has four floors in total. The first floor is a tavern, the second floor is a restaurant, and the third and fourth floors are hotels for accommodation. It is a place frequented by pirates coming and going.

Because the store owner is a retired pirate who used to have a bounty of tens of millions. Later, when his leg was broken, he came to O'Hara to settle down with his savings and treasures.

For those pirates who retreated at the height of their career or retreated due to injuries, the holy place in their minds is not Beehive Island, but O'Hara.

Because this is the only place that accepts pirates like them and does not discriminate against them. As long as they abide by the rules, they can live like ordinary people without worrying about being hunted down.

However, these special groups must report in advance and undergo review if they want to settle down.

People who have done too bad things are not acceptable.

It has nothing to do with strength or weakness, good or evil, it's just that Sager doesn't like people who are too bad.

Because he is bad enough.

Besides those pirates who specialize in burning, killing and looting, there is another type of pirates on the sea. They go out to sea illegally, are labeled as pirates, and have bounties, but are actually guys of another profession.

For example, the owner of this shop has a similar experience to that of Zep, the owner of Barati Restaurant. He is also a chef and also went to sea in search of 'Allblue'. After making a name for himself, he also broke his leg and then came here to retire with the money.

Sager welcomes this kind of people the most.

This guy is not a pirate at all; he is a kind-hearted person who comes to invest and pay taxes to him!

But because they are pirates, the restaurant they opened tends to be vulgar in style, attracting mostly foreign pirates, causing it to be often noisy here.

The locals don't come here, not because they are afraid. Under the rule of their masters, no one is afraid of these pirates. They simply can't stand this noisy and dirty environment.

"Cheng Hui, a total of 14,000 Baileys."

At this time, a pirate had just finished his meal, and the waiter came over with a smile to pay the bill.

The pirate was a big, burly man with a face full of flesh and scars. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. He slammed the table and yelled:
"I don't have any money!"

The waiter still had a smile on his face. After hearing what was said, he waved his hand and several burly men immediately came out from behind.

The pirate quickly stood up, glared at the waiter fiercely, and before the big men arrived, he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.

"Hit me!"

Following the waiter's words, several big men surrounded the pirate and started beating and kicking him.

The pirates eating around seemed to be used to it and continued to make a noise, as if they saw nothing.

This is the rule of this comprehensive restaurant. Perhaps because of the chef, even the poorest person who comes here will be invited to the table, even if they look like they have no money at first glance.

You have to eat until you are full.

As for whether you can afford to pay after eating,
If you really can't afford it, just beat him up and throw him out.

However, since there were pirates everywhere and some even knew each other, no one would lose face for a meal.

Fleeing the bill? Going on a rampage? Murder?
Don’t you see where this is?
If you behave yourself and get beaten and thrown out, at most you will just be embarrassed and injured. But if you do something bad, it will not be as simple as just being beaten up.

There were many dried corpses hanging at the port, with their ribs uncovered from the back.

"You stinky guy from the outer sea is here to beg for food in O'Hara, right?"

The waiter said viciously, "You dare to eat for free? Beat you! Beat you hard! Throw you out after you're done!"

"stop fighting!"

Suddenly, another pirate slammed the table and shouted, "It's just a meal! I'll pay for him!"

The waiter waved his hand to stop the burly man who was beating the man, and then threw the freeloader pirate out.

When the pirate who wanted to pay was about to pay after eating and drinking, the waiter said with a smile: "Sir, the total is 35,000 Baileys."

"I told you I'd pay for that pirate."

The full pirate elegantly picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Yes, guest, it's already included, a total of thirty-five thousand."

"it is good."

The pirate put down his napkin, stood up silently, looked at the waiter with disdain, and turned around.
He squatted down silently with his head in his hands.

waiter:"……"

boom!
Not long after, another guy fell to the ground with a bruised face and nose on the rainstorm-hit street, causing many people in the restaurant to burst into laughter. Guys like this always appear, but they also represent the tolerance of Storm City.

It is not a terrible beast, nor does it have any strict rules. As long as you abide by the rules here, everyone can live freely and comfortably.

……

Unlike Storm City which remains bustling despite the heavy rain, in the wasteland in the northwest, there is a cliff where you can see the sea. Washed by the pouring rain, the stones have become extremely smooth. If ordinary people walk on it, they will easily slip and fall into the sea.

At the tip of the cliff, in front of a stone that was hanging in the air like a sword, under the rain, stood a beautiful body that looked very thin when viewed from behind.

The woman was wearing a battle armor dress. The metal on the hem and arms was soaked by the rain, shining like her long wavy golden hair.

She assumed an Iai stance with her eyes slightly closed, standing motionless like a sculpture under the rain.

Wow!

The sea water under the cliff rose with the intensity of the storm, turning into waves and hitting the cliff. The vibration even caused some gravel to fall from the suspended rocks.

But when the sea water hit the cliff, it seemed to stop for a moment, just like a movie playing on the screen was stuck.

Wow!

The second wave surged forward, and this time, the sculpture-like man's hand holding the hilt of the sword seemed to move slightly, as if he wanted to draw the sword.
It also seemed as if it had already been slashed out and then sheathed.

When the huge wave was about to hit the cliff, it seemed to suddenly lose its kinetic energy and turned into splashing water droplets, merging with the rain curtain and falling into the sea.

"Mrs. Lily!"

Boom!

Several pirates rode motorcycles in the heavy rain to the cliff and happened to see Lily standing like a sculpture. Just as they made a sound, thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and several purple thunders came down, emitting strong flashes that almost blinded people's eyes, causing people to subconsciously protect their eyes.

At the moment he raised his hand, purple lightning like a python had already rushed to Lily who was standing on the protruding cliff.

Stupid!
The piercing sound of swords being drawn rang out. At the same time, a horizontal light inexplicably appeared in front of her, like a white thunder exploding, suddenly appearing in front of the thunders that were striking down, as if it had solidified, making the thunders seem, possibly, probably...
Stopped?

Shiny!

The light continued to surge, as if tearing the air to reveal white holes, one after another, streaking in the striking thunder.

A two-finger-wide rapier wrapped in white lightning was pulled out of the scabbard at the woman's waist at some point and appeared in the air, but it seemed to be still. It was clearly vertical when I first saw it, but without even blinking, it suddenly turned horizontal.

It's like the movie skipped a frame.

The sword was surrounded by white lightning most of the time, but there was one frame where it seemed to be surrounded by cyan lightning.
But it was also like an illusion during a storm, so short that no one could notice it.

As the rapier 'skipped frames', a large amount of white light appeared in the thunder, filling the thunder that was striking down.

The thunder stopped completely!

Click.

The sword that was originally outside inexplicably appeared in the scabbard with a slight sound.

Click!
The next moment, as if glass had shattered, the lightning scattered and twisted into "glass shards" in the air, disappearing into nothingness.

The blonde woman stood up straight, turned around silently, and then looked at the pirates on motorcycles.

Everything happened in a flash. The pirates were still in shock at the lightning. They didn't even have time to show their horror before the thunder dissipated. Their faces were twisted into the shape of the word "囧".

"looking for me?"

It was not until Lily spoke coldly that they reacted. They subconsciously lowered their heads under her gaze and said respectfully:

“Master Lily, Master Sarge is looking for you.

Lily glanced at them, nodded, and didn't answer. She passed by the pirates and walked forward. Before the pirates could breathe a sigh of relief, the voice rang out again.

"correct."

"Yes!!"

Several pirates immediately stood straighter than pencils.

"Don't come here on a rainy day. You may be struck by lightning. Go back quickly."

Lily turned her head and said something, then she turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared from the cliff.

Several pirates relaxed their bodies, and some even couldn't stand and leaned on the motorcycle.

"Mrs. Lily, your power is truly terrifying."

"yes."

The other man swallowed, "Sometimes I feel that he is even scarier than Lord Sager. Is this the influence of the Conqueror's Haki?"

"Don't worry about the domineering color, that is not within our reach, but just now..."

The pirate looked at the edge of the cliff with shocked eyes and said, "Lady Lily, did you break the thunder into pieces?"
