Pirates of the Lazy General

Chapter 21 Basement

Everyone: (°ー°〃)
Leo: 乛乛
"How on earth did you do it?"

Lamor couldn't help asking.

Is this still the Leo who was beaten by wolves, and even his pants were bitten by wolves?
How come this guy has become so fierce in just over two months?
"Oh, it's just a random fight, I didn't recognize it at all..Pfft! Really.(￣￣)"

Everyone: "."

"It seems that I really ate a devil fruit."

"And the side effect actually makes me vomit blood."

Lamore and Xiu En nodded thoughtfully.

But in fact, Leo still has some doubts about his own strength.

Although he took three months of hard rest in the training camp, his physical fitness and hardness have been enhanced to a very considerable level, but that is only relative to Sihai.

It is no exaggeration to say that with his current small body, if he is placed in the new world, it is estimated that a random pirate with a reward of over [-] million will be able to unilaterally hammer him.

Take the battle just now as an example. If Howson hadn't used the venom from the needles to give him several layers of buffs before the fight, he probably wouldn't have won so easily.

At the same time, Pickman and Fith went over to check on Howson's situation.

"tsk tsk"

"It's too cruel."

"If it weren't for this fat man's rough skin and thick flesh, he probably would have died already?"

As the two talked, they turned their heads to look at Leo with more and more admiration.

"Hey, come and see!"

Lamor's voice suddenly came from the villa.

"what happened?"

Xiu En and Da Siqi hurried over when they heard the words.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of them stunned all of them.

What's the situation?
"Would you guys stay here for vacation?" Lamor asked with a twitching corner of his mouth.

In the spacious hall of the villa, there are forty or fifty people, men, women, old and young, holding a glass of red wine, lying on the reclining chairs leisurely and comfortably, watching the scenery outside the window..
Eh, wait?

Lamor and Xiu En glanced at the transparent windows in the villa at the same time.

Cooperating with you guys, have you been watching a show here just now?

"Have all the hostages been found?"

At the door, Leo walked in with a cigarette in his mouth.

With a blink of an eye, he looked at the people lying in the hall.

Um..
"So can anyone explain to me what's going on now?"

After tying Howson and everyone in the Helmet Pirates together, Leo glanced at everyone in the villa.

"You are all villagers on this island of Manati, aren't you?"

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone nodded one after another.

"You were all caught by this fat man?"

"Um"

The leading middle-aged woman nodded, then shook her head again.

Seeing this, Leo asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Some of us were not arrested, but came here by ourselves."

"Come here by yourself?"

"Yes."

The woman explained: "Don't you think it's very comfortable to live in? It's much more comfortable than my dilapidated wooden house. Not only do you not need to plow the fields, you don't need to chop firewood, and you don't have to worry about food. And the most important thing is , all the people living here are acquaintances, and it’s nice to talk to each other, I like it so much.”

Leo: "."

It's like Garp ran away from home and asked his mother to open the door for him when he went back, it's outrageously home!
In the same way, most of the other hostages in the villa had the same idea, even the parents of the little boy they met when they first entered the village, voluntarily ran into the villa early this morning.

in short..
The people living here are simply a group of people who want to get something for nothing.

"Then you keep them like this, don't you just choose to kill them?"

Leo looked at Howson, who had already woken up a long time ago, and he suddenly felt that this fat man didn't seem like a bad person, otherwise, who would feed such a large group of people with delicious food and drink? Is it a useless hostage?
Hao Sen, who was beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face, said inarticulately at this time: "I can't kill people."

"Clam?"

Leo and the others looked strange.

They were thinking that this wasn't the case when you got into a fight just now, the dense poisonous needles all over the sky, if someone else came, they would have been tied into a sieve long ago, right?
As a result, after further questioning, everyone finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that Howson had no idea what happened on Manati Island.

He just obeyed the order of the man in the helmet and was responsible for bringing the hostages to the villa.

Moreover, this fat man seems to be a very poor guy, he was abandoned by his parents since he was born and became an orphan, almost growing up in a garbage dump in his childhood.

Until the age of 14, because I was hungry, I accidentally ate a devil fruit, and happened to meet Yale Wick, who had just formed the pirate group.

What happened next was very Whitebeard.

Because he had no parents since he was a child, when Vic wanted to win Howson onto the boat and threatened that he would be his father and give his family the warmth, the 14-year-old Howson cried badly.

"Howson's a good kid, really."

At this moment, the woman spoke for Howson again: "If it weren't for this child, that guy in the helmet would have killed us long ago."

"That's right, how can we eat and drink for nothing here?"

Leo: "."

The co-authors of you also know that you are eating and drinking for free?
"never mind."

This fat man is not pitiful, so what does it matter to him?

Anyway, they are all with the helmeted pirates, so they should be taken away together.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Where are the people you kidnapped from all over the West Sea sent?"

Pickman stepped forward and grabbed Vic by the collar, questioning loudly.

"Sold to a slave trader."

Vic swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and explained in detail: "Besides, the rest of the hostages were also secretly used by us to study toxic weapons."

After ten minutes.

Everyone found a very crude research base in a hidden man-made underground passage on the island.

It is more like a torture chamber than a research base.

Humans of all shapes and ages were tied to posts and covered in poisonous needles.

Some were still dying and begging for mercy, while others were rotten and had already lost their voices.

Everyone just looked at it like this, clenched their fists, their faces were full of anger, and even their bodies were trembling slightly.

But at this time.

bass-!
Leo suddenly pulled out Shigure from Dashiqi's waist, and slashed at Yale Vic's neck with a backhand.
