From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 222 Five Elder Stars: Erase That Town

In a bar in a small town in the Clover Islands in the East China Sea, seven or eight villagers were chatting and drinking.

"I don't know how long it will take for the rain to fall. It has been more than 20 days in a row. With the temperature like this, the water in the well is not enough."

"Let's wait a few more days. The grain caravan will come again in a few months for the last time this year. It won't be a big problem."

The three people sitting around suddenly lowered their voices, and one of them said, "I don't know when the New Era will publish its latest issue. The ending of the Black Arm General has worried me for more than ten days."

At this moment, the door of the bar was kicked open.

I saw a dozen guys coming in, some carrying flintlock rifles and some with swords on their waists.

The bearded leader walked to the bar, glanced at the trembling boss, and drew his sword.

"Oh!"

The blade was embedded three-quarters into the bar, and the bearded man said, "Bring out all the good wine, understand?"

The tavern owner nodded repeatedly: "Understood...I'll go right away."

"Snapped."

Because he was too flustered, he fell down and broke his forehead, but this made a dozen bandits laugh.

"As expected of the boss, this guy's posture just now was ridiculous."

"Just the momentum is enough to make the other party surrender. Our boss is a big shot with a bounty of three million Baileys!"

The leading bandit leader was very proud. He sheathed his knife and walked over to a few villagers.

"Goo."

They swallowed their saliva, even though their faces were red from drinking. After seeing the long sword on the other party's waist, the few people who were chatting happily just now quickly got up and left.

However, before they could leave the house, they were stopped by a bandit with a drawn knife.

"Shh!"

The back of the knife swung violently.

"what!!"

The ordinary villagers were beaten until their mouths were full of blood, and they spat out a few teeth while screaming, and rolled on the ground wailing in pain.

"Idiot! We are bandits!"

"You're looking down on us by leaving like this, you bastard!"

"Click."

The flintlocks were pulled, and at once five or six guns were all pointed at the villagers at the door.

"Sir, the grain caravan has not arrived yet. We are out of money right now."

Seven or eight villagers squatted on the ground, tremblingly explaining themselves, and one of them was still sobbing and wailing.

However, a bandit walked forward and kicked the villager who had just been knocked down by the back of the knife.

"Boom."

"Why are you making noise when I'm talking? Do you look down on me, you bastard?"

"Boom."

"You have money to drink but no money to hand over? What do you think we are? Good people?"

The last kick was aimed at the head, and he even raised the long knife in his hand.

"You guys won't listen to my nice talk...so you really want to die, right? You want money over life?"

The dazed middle-aged villager's face was covered in blood, and he stared at the bandits: "You...you...a bunch of bastards!"

The cursing was very soft, but it was clearly heard throughout the small pub.

For a moment, the other five or six villagers who were kneeling on the ground widened their eyes, their eyes full of panic.

"Sir, sir, he is a lunatic, he has a mental problem, you..."

Before he could finish his words, more than a dozen bandits looked at him at the same time, making the villager swallow his words.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

At this time, the bandit leader, who had been silent all this time, stood behind the villagers, looking at them as if they were livestock.

Then he stretched out his hand, and his men quickly handed him a flintlock.

Aim and pull the trigger.

"Oh!"

Sparks flew, and the middle-aged man with a bloody face collapsed to the ground. Lead bullets shot into his head and blood flowed all over the ground.

The bandit leader looked at the remaining villagers and said, "You still want to teach me how to do things now? I am a bandit! A big bandit with a bounty of three million berries. Can't those stupid pirates understand me better?"

He just picked up the wine bottle next to him, drank it all, and then kicked the kneeling and trembling villager to the ground.

"I just closed a deal worth 30 million Baileys. I'm asking you to pay up because I want to give you face! So, you bunch of lowly people, don't you want to give me this face?"

The trembling villagers began to take out all the small-denomination Baileys and begged for mercy, hoping to escape with their lives.

They knew that this group of bandits did not originally have so many weapons, but now they even had flintlock rifles.

Paying money to save your life is the only option.

At this moment, the two members of CP9 who had been hiding in the dark corner of the tavern and watching looked at each other.

"Do you want to take action?"

"The fruit has most likely been sold by them. We haven't seen them during our surveillance here. It's obvious that they went to complete the transaction I just mentioned."

"Report it first. It seems like they won't leave for a while."

"it is good."

……

Half an hour later, six villagers crawled out of the tavern carrying a corpse.

In the woods opposite the tavern, a team of revolutionary soldiers was observing the movements in the tavern.

"These bastards actually killed a villager!"

"The World Government is in there, but they obviously don't care about the lives of ordinary people."

"At the moment, the tavern owner is the only one left in the tavern, but if we take action, the people from the World Government will discover our presence."

Team leader Bach thought for a while, then said, "No. As long as they come to the tavern for the purpose of drinking, then the owner of this tavern will be safe in the short term. Wait a minute, this group of bandits and the World Government have been waiting for so long, they will not let go of this opportunity."

The three of them stared at each other for a moment, then fell silent again.

Just ten minutes later, three figures in the distance approached quickly. In order to hurry, they even used shavers, and headed straight for the tavern.

"boom!"

This time the wooden door of the tavern was kicked directly into pieces. After Foz F walked in, his eyes immediately locked onto the bandits.

"Asshole! Who are you?!"

"How dare you interrupt us while we're drinking? Are you tired of living?"

"Kill him!"

"A guy looking for death."

……

All of a sudden, long swords were drawn and the muzzles of several guns were pointed at the target.

However, Foz F didn't care and still looked at the bandit leader who was drinking quietly.

"Ah!"

After a light laugh, Fuzi Fu said, "If I didn't know that you were just an ordinary bandit, I would have thought you were some big shot with such a calm demeanor."

After the boss finished speaking, he didn't say anything, but a dozen of his younger brothers began to compete to show off.

"What are you talking about you asshole?"

"Shoot him!"

"shooting!"

"Bang bang bang..."

"The boss is offering a reward of three million..."

After a series of gunshots, the rest of the words were swallowed back.

Because none of those lead bullets hit the target, they were all... avoided.

Fuzzy F looked at the dumbfounded bandit leader and said, "So, a guy like you who was so calm and composed just now, apart from being a big shot, sometimes he is just a frog in a well."

“Because of ignorance, one becomes arrogant and complacent. Because of arrogance and complacency, one can only see a small piece of the sky. Therefore, one thinks that he is a big shot and imitates the calmness of big shots.”

"To live."

The last sentence was obviously not addressed to the bandits.

"Shhhh..."

Two CP9 spies disappeared instantly.

shave.

He suddenly rushed in front of him, and just as the bandit was about to swing his sword, he found two bloody holes on both sides of his shoulders.

How could it be so fast?

Who are these people...?
Just as he thought of this, his knee was shattered. Severe pain came over him, causing him to roll on the ground and wailing.

In just a moment, all the bandits except the leader were pierced through the shoulders and knees, and rolled over and wailed on the wooden floor of the tavern.

This scene also made the bandit leader stunned. The wine glass in his hand fell off and rolled to the side on the ground.

Fuzzy F slowly walked to the opposite side and smiled disdainfully: "You don't even know the Devil Fruit, idiot. This sea area where the Pirate King Goldoroje once came from has become increasingly desolate."

As he said this, he patted the bandit leader's cheek and said, "30 million Baileys? You know that a devil fruit, even the most common animal type, is a treasure worth 100 million in the Grand Line, you idiot!"

The leader's pupils moved slightly after being slapped on the cheek: "Devil...fruit?"

Fuzzy F smiled sarcastically: "Now it's your turn. Tell me where the devil fruit was traded to, and maybe I can spare your life."

"Really...really?"

The bandit at this moment no longer had the arrogance he had just had. The strength of the three people in front of him was beyond his comprehension.

He dodged the bullets and dispatched all of his men in a flash, piercing all of them with holes in the shoulders and knees.

It's just like a monster!

I'm afraid those pirates with bounties worth billions of berries are just like this, right?

"puff."

The bandit lowered his head, and when he saw the bloody hole, he fell to the ground and screamed.

Fuzzy F wiped his sharp fingers and said, "Don't challenge my patience, you frog in the well. Let me ask you again, where did you trade that devil fruit?"

"Before this, you mentioned in this tavern that fruit with purple patterns and strange appearance, who did you trade it to?!"

Seeing the other party raise that terrifying finger again, fear overwhelmed the pain, and the bandit said, "It's... it's a caravan, a caravan coming here to collect food! We... we exchanged some guns and supplies and Baileys, all... all can be given to you..."

"Don't kill me... don't kill me... I can give it all to you."

Caravan?

Fuzzy F's eyes narrowed slightly. "What's the name of the caravan? Where are they from?"

But obviously, he didn't know this.

Soon, after all ten fingers and toes were cut off, Foz F believed that the fool really didn't know.

"team leader?"

"Have someone check all the merchant ships that have come during this period. It's only been a short period of time, so the number of targets should not be that large."

"clear."

Then, Foz F stood up and walked towards the bar, his eyes meeting with the trembling tavern owner hiding behind it.

"You heard everything, right?"

"No...no, I didn't hear anything, no...really...it's true."

The next moment, a cold light flashed past. "Bang."

A bullet fired from outside the tavern directly broke the long sword swung by Foz F into two pieces.

The darkness covered by the Armament Haki dissipated, and the bullet hit the ground with a crisp sound. It was a sharp bullet that was completely different from the flintlock lead bullet.

So far, apart from the Revolutionary Army, only a small part of the entire ocean has been left, and is used by some countries and pirates in the New World, such as the sniper of the Beasts Pirates.

But this... is the East China Sea.

"Revolutionary Army?"

At this time, a man carrying a spear walked into the tavern and said, "You are the Marine Six, but you are not wearing marine uniforms. So you must be agents of the World Government? But even if you are agents of the World Government, you can't just label people like that, right?"

The tavern owner, who was waiting to die with his eyes closed under the bar, was stunned when he heard the voice. After seeing who was coming, he crawled over.

"Bach... Bach save me! Save me, Bach!"

There was no explanation, but it already showed his native identity.

This is a technique learned in the camouflage and concealment course: let the enemy infer the result on their own, because human pride will naturally make them believe this result.

At this time, a total of five people, including the two CP9s who were originally hiding in the dark, surrounded Bach.

Fuzzy F said, "Sniper, you only have one gun, and we have five people. That old man heard things he shouldn't have heard, and he must die."

"Now that you know our identities, do you want to become an enemy of the World Government?"

Bach shook his head slightly. "He is just an ordinary tavern owner, an ordinary person who knows nothing and has no channels to disclose your secrets. Of course, you can also try to see if you can keep me with you."

The moment the words fell, a slashing blow suddenly came.

"Om..."

Under the armed color domineering, the slash was shattered by the butt of the gun.

shave.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him and fired his gun but missed.

Bach's observation Haki once again dodged a storm kick, and the tavern was directly cut off.

Turn around and shoot.

"boom!"

As the gunshots rang out, a CP9's black hat was shot through and fell off.

"The next shot will be to the head."

With obvious warning, Foz F waved his men to stop.

"Walk."

Without any hesitation, Foz F and his team left.

The degree of domineering power that he just revealed has already proved that if they fight, they will inevitably suffer losses, and he himself may even be killed.

In the tavern, the owner thanked Bach profusely.

However, while waiting for Bach to leave and the tavern owner was listening to his advice and packing his luggage to leave for a while, a figure suddenly appeared.

"puff!"

The tavern owner's heart was pierced and he fell to the ground, not breathing.

CP0 wearing a mask called Den Den Mushi: "Report: A revolutionary soldier has been confirmed in the CP9 operation area of ​​the East China Sea Clover Islands."

……

Between the powers that be, Mary Joa.

Recently, any changes in the information about the rubber fruit will be reported here.

With the attention of the Five Elders, the CP organization also understood the importance of this superhuman devil fruit.

Thus, the information about a bandit in the East China Sea with a bounty of no more than 3 million berries appeared in the hands of the five most powerful people in the world.

Saint Satan frowned and said, "It's the same situation again... For eight hundred years, this devil fruit has coincidentally avoided us every time."

Maz Saint: "Animal-type devil fruits contain the will of the past. Only those who have inherited this will can master awakening."

Saint Wouchuri: "But eight hundred years have passed. This may be the last one or two chances for that devil fruit."

Eight hundred years.

This time point is very important, just like the Kozuki Toki in Wano Country, or if Gol D. Roger in Raftel...

The Five Elder Stars, who are at the pinnacle of world power, also seem to know what will happen at this point in time.

Nasu Juro Sei put down the intelligence record in his hand: "The Revolutionary Army has also appeared in CP9's operation area. These rats are really annoying."

After he finished speaking, the Five Elders were silent for a moment.

Mazi Saint asked: "The group of criminals that O'Hara missed...will the origin of that fruit be clear?"

Satan Saint shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but the intelligence shows that there is only one person on the other side, and he stepped forward to stop CP9 in order to protect a pariah."

Peter Saint: "Kill him as soon as possible. If we really attract the attention of the Revolutionary Army, with the ability of the Cloaked Man, the fruit with its own consciousness may cause accidents again."

Saint Vochuli: "That's what I've considered. If the cloaked man is involved, with the ability to teleport and the high probability of coincidences, the probability of accidents will increase greatly."

Satan Saint nodded slightly: "Then let CP9 continue the operation. The Navy and CP0 are too big a target. Also, let CP0 wipe out the revolutionary army."

At this time, Nasu Shoulang Sheng said in a deep voice: "The untouchables in that town may be able to play a role."

Satan Saint: "Attract attention. If any of the bandits are ineffective, the caravan CP9 will investigate, but in order to prevent the Revolutionary Army from asking anything..."

Mazisheng: "Just a bunch of bugs."

……

A week later, the town where the Hog's Head Tavern was located was massacred and no one survived.

At the entrance of the town, the three members of Bach's team, who had been busy for a week, were just about to return to the base when they stopped at the same time.

"Captain, it's a little quiet."

"Sniff...it's the smell of blood."

The next moment, the three of them looked at each other and rushed in.

The streets were littered with corpses lying in pools of blood, and when the doors were opened one after another, no one was found alive.

This scene made the three of them look very ugly.

A breeze blew by.

"Crash."

The three looked over when they heard the sound, and saw a pirate flag hung on the eaves. It was a pirate group from the East China Sea with a bounty of 10 million Baileys.

In this weakest sea, a bounty of 10 million berries already makes you a big pirate.

But Bach and the other two knew very well that it was not this pirate group that did it, because this notorious pirate group was wiped out by their family not long ago.

"asshole!"

"It must be them..."

The two teammates shouted angrily, but Bach kept his eyes fixed on the dense forest not far ahead.

"retreat."

After the order was given, the two men, whose eyes were bloodshot and extremely angry, immediately calmed down, and the three of them quickly retreated.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave."

Three people wearing strange masks appeared, and the guy in the middle disappeared instantly.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the CP0 dodged the attack, raised his hand and swung it violently, slashing past.

"boom!"

The other party's observation Haki is obviously superior to Bach's.

"Captain, let's go!"

A gleam of determination flashed across the eyes of one of the team members. He drew out the long sword from his waist, covered with armed color domineering, and faced the slash.

Bach's eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, without any hesitation, he quickly retreated with another teammate.

The CP9 records made during the previous operation were still in his arms, and there was even a small-scale signal receiving device, which was something that absolutely could not be lost.

After the operation is over, these things will generally be hidden in a place known only to the team leader, and even team members will not be able to know them under the principle of confidentiality.

The records would expose their purpose, and the signal receiving device would allow the world government to be on guard in the future, so these things could not be lost at all.

"Ayag, help."

After Bach finished speaking, he raised the sniper rifle in his hand, locked the target with his Observation Haki, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

The huge recoil was reduced by the armed color domineering on the shoulder, and the bullet was fired suddenly.

Paper drawing. Afterimage!

The shadow that was hit disappeared, and the opponent was approaching.

"boom!"

The domineering butt of the gun collided with the opponent's fist, and Bach was knocked back.

Ayag, who had just connected to the channel, had the communication device in his hand shattered by a gunshot.

Another CP0 holding a flintlock rifle looked over here and said, "The Revolutionary Army operates in teams of three, so we also prepared three people. How is it? Isn't it fair?"

The next moment, the pistol's trigger was pulled continuously, and the bullets with domineering power whizzed towards him. For a moment, Ayag's observation Haki domineering power was fully activated.

"puff."

A lead bullet hit his arm, and the huge force even broke his armament domineering, causing him to be thrown out.

"So it would be wrong to call for help in such a fair situation. I've waited for you for so long, so I'd better keep my life, how about that?"

This CP0 is like a chatterbox, but every word he said really disturbed Ayag's mind.

The guy in the middle at the beginning is definitely the strongest, and his teammates are now using their lives to buy time for them.

Even Captain Bach was trying to buy himself some time...

The comm unit was shattered, but there was still one thing.

That thing was an emergency call for help when there was no magnetic field signal, but now the other party was staring at him...

"What are you thinking? If you don't call for help soon, all your teammates will be killed."

The moment the words fell, the other party fired again.

……

At the same time, Lor, the first one to be cut off, was knocked away by a punch.

The Armament Haki covering the abdomen was dented, and the internal organs were damaged by the blow.

"You think you can hold me back?"

CP0 kicked his foot.

shave!
"boom!"

Lor, who had just stood up, was kicked away again and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"asshole……"

He gritted his teeth and stood up again. Lor's observation Haki had reached its limit.

"Shh."

An afterimage passed by.

I see!
“Bang!

After being kicked away again, Luo Er still stood up to block the opponent: "You...don't even think about getting through!"

……
