The low-key king of pirates

Chapter 43 Conflict Escalation
The bullets whizzed past, and Curry stood there sluggishly, while a figure hugged him backhanded.

"Lisa!" Hugging his playmate in front of him, Curry's entire spiritual world collapsed.

"Brother Curry, thank you. You have always protected me, and I finally protected Brother Curry once."

After Lisa finished speaking intermittently, a faint smile appeared on her delicate face.

Tears couldn't stop falling down, and the little heart was ruthlessly crushed by the cruelty of reality.

Curry, who hesitated to speak, supported Lisa's body and knelt on the ground.

The dry lips opened and closed a few times, but no sound came out.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so fateful. This time, I want to see who else can block bullets for you!"

The executioner on the carriage didn't realize anything, but raised his pistol again.

Curry was completely immersed in grief, and knelt on the ground in despair, completely unaware that the danger had come.

Snapped!
A carrot head was thrown directly into the carriage, and a middle-aged woman from the vegetable market blocked Curry with her body.

"You murderer, don't think that the people of the Reis Kingdom are easy to bully. If you have the ability, you kill me first."

Although the middle-aged woman was thin and small, she had a loud voice, which directly detonated the powder keg.

The onlookers of the Leisi nationals seemed to be boiling water, and they crowded around the carriage in an instant, making a noisy mess.

"Bastards! Are you untouchables trying to rebel? Come here, shoot me to death!"

The name of the man on the carriage was William Joseph, the second son of the patriarch of the William family.

This time, Joseph came to the Kingdom of Reis to negotiate with Green because of Old William's instructions.

He has always been raised as the heir of the family, and he has always had his eyes above the top, and he does not regard other people as human beings.

Following Joseph's order, a dozen burly men in black suits came out with rifles in hand.

The guns were aimed at the rioting people.

But are the people of the Kingdom of Reis afraid?
No, on the contrary, more and more people gathered around, and even the traffic was blocked to the point of impassability.

"Do you think we will be afraid of you? Dare to openly commit murder in the Kingdom of Reis, arrest them and hand them over to His Majesty the King!"

"Yes, we must not let them escape!"

"His Majesty the King will definitely decide for us!"

The besieged people were filled with righteous indignation, shouted one after another, and blocked the carriage with their bodies.

"Master Joseph, what should we do?" The old butler beside him looked at the people gathered around, and asked with some embarrassment.

"Since these untouchables want to die, let the guards shoot!" Joseph showed a cruel look on his face.

"If we start a massacre here, it will be tantamount to turning against the Kingdom of Lacey. Aren't you worried?" The old butler didn't finish his sentence, but just looked at Joseph.

"Hmph, as the nobles of the world, our William family bears [-]% of the navy's military expenditure every year, and I am the heir of the William family. Do you think a little king dares to turn against us?"

"As long as there are untouchables who dare to make trouble in my place, they will all be killed on the spot!"

There was no wave in Joseph's cold tone.

"stop!"

The moment the gunshot rang out, a guard rushed over and roared loudly.

But those guards did not receive Joseph's order, and fired a round, killing or wounding more than [-] people.

The imperial guard had followed Green for so long, seeing the number of people and the pomp on the opposite side, he didn't dare to procrastinate.

He took out the signal stick that he carried with him, and ignited the fuse directly at the sky.

Whoosh!
A huge purple beam of light shot up from the market.

Even in the daytime, such dazzling fireworks with thick purple smoke instantly filled the entire sky.

On the training ground in Wangcheng, dozens of forbidden soldiers are working hard.

"Look! That's it."

"Everyone gather! Level [-] battle preparation, something big has happened!"

Dozens of familiar figures galloped towards the market on the east coast.

"What are you doing? We are members of the William family, what right do you have to do anything to us?" Joseph, who was in the carriage, stepped out and shouted at the guards who were besieging them.

It was the first time that these former prince's personal guards had been mobilized since they were reorganized into the imperial guards.

As for the William family, I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it!

The 82 imperial guards moved swiftly, and with the blessing of two-color domineering, each guard has the strength of a colonel in the Navy headquarters. Although it is a bit tricky to deal with a dozen guards, it is only a matter of time.

"Stop! Stop! How dare you do something to my people? Tell your king to come here. Who gave him such courage?"

Joseph stood by the fence of the carriage, angrily pointing at the guards and yelling.

However, this is of no use.

"Good job! As expected of His Majesty's Imperial Guard, kill these bastards!"

"Yes! Kill them and avenge our relatives!"

Public anger has been aroused, and public anger cannot be appeased.

Except for the merchants from other countries who were hiding aside, the people of the Reis Kingdom still refused to retreat and surrounded them tightly.

And as time went by, more and more people crowded shoulder to shoulder, and the crowds pointed at Joseph.

Even Joseph, who has always been proud, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw the crowd who couldn't see the side.

As the screams came to an abrupt end, a dozen guards of the William family were subdued and tied up with iron chains.

"Huh? Curry! Why are you here?" A teenager among the guards asked in surprise, it was Griffin.

"Brother, Lisa is dead! Woohoo..."

"Who did it?" Seeing Curry's sad look, Griffin couldn't help asking.

Immediately, Griffin followed his younger brother's gaze to look at Joseph in the carriage, and couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"That man was going to kill me, Lisa blocked the bullet with her body in order to save me."

"Brother, I want revenge!"

There were red lines in the dry eye sockets, and there was longing in Curry's angry eyes.

"Okay, I'll kill him for you!" Griffin rushed directly into the carriage and hit Joseph angrily.

Bang!
Joseph turned into an adult bear form, leaning back involuntarily, while Griffin was repelled and returned to the street.

"The devil fruit of the zoology!" Griffin didn't care.

"Wait! I want to negotiate with your king. You'd better not make decisions on your own. If something happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the price!"

Although Joseph is stronger than Griffin, he is also extremely limited.

He didn't want to be humiliated for no reason. After all, there are still 81 guards like Griffin.

"Our Majesty the King is not here, you can tell me something." Sander brought a group of ministers to the market and said to Joseph.

"You can't be the master. It's not that I'm alarmist. How you deal with me will determine the survival of your Kingdom of Reis."
