One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

East China Sea, Orange Town.

The flaming wings turned back into arms, and An landed in the woods near the town.

As for why he didn't land directly in the town, An just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

In the woods, An sorted out his clothes and walked towards Orange Town.

On the streets of Orange Town, people came and went, and it was very lively.

"What a prosperous town," An admired in his heart.

Looking at the various shops in the town, An planned to bring some gifts to Ace and the other two who were far away in Windmill Village.

Walking into the largest clothing store in Orange Town, looking at the various styles of clothing in the store, An began to try them on one by one.

Then, in the praises of the clerk over and over again, An began to gradually lose himself.

...

One hour later, An was kindly sent out of the store by the clerk with packaging bags hanging on his hands.

Arriving at an empty corner outside the store, An threw all the things into the system space.

Walking on the way to the town, An thought about the process of spending 800,000 Baileys to buy clothes, and always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But I couldn't remember it anyway.

Passing by a restaurant, An pushed the door open and walked in, smelling the aroma coming from the store.

Welcome!

The pleasant voice of the waiter sounded.

An picked up the menu and ordered a dozen special dishes at random.

After handing the menu to the waiter, An sat on the chair and listened to the gossip of the customers in the restaurant.

Passerby A: "Have you heard that the Blood Sword Pirates seem to have appeared again recently."

Passerby B: "How is it possible? Wasn't the Blood Sword Pirates wiped out by Colonel Smoker of Rogue Town before?"

Passerby A: "Colonel Smoker did wipe out the Blood Sword Pirates, but the leader Blood Sword Lacey and several cadres jumped into the sea and ran away during the chaos."

I heard that they recently annexed an unknown pirate group and made a comeback

"Let's not talk about it, come on, let's drink, I hope those crazy people from the Blood Sword Pirates don't come to us."

...

In the northern waters of Orange Town, a shabby pirate ship sailed on the sea.

"Captain, the navy of Rogue Town is really chasing us too closely. If we continue like this, we will be in danger."

"See if there are any islands nearby and find some hostages to let them let us go."

A thin man with a gloomy face used a sword to block a flying shell and said.

This man is the captain of this pirate ship, Blood Sword Lacey.

A few weeks ago, Smoker wiped out the Blood Sword Pirates. Lacey jumped into the sea with several cadres to escape.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to be rescued after drifting on the sea for more than ten days. They were raised in a village called Shuiliu for several days before they recovered.

Of course, as a reward, Lacey and his cadres killed all the villagers of Shuiliu Village after venting.

When he thought of the smell of the girl who saved him, Lacey couldn't help licking his lips.

"I found the captain. There is a town in the north."

"Let's go to that island."

...

Orange Town Restaurant.

An listened to the customers talking about what happened on the sea, while eating food slowly in his hands.

Suddenly, there was a panicked voice from the crowd outside the door.

"Run!"

"The Blood Sword Pirates are coming."

...

Bang!

A gunshot was heard and the outside instantly became quiet.

Lacey's gloomy voice sounded: "Listen to me, everyone, if you don't want to die, be obedient.

Lacey pointed at several teams of pirates and said: "Go and bring all the people on this island to the square. "

As Lacey issued the order, screams of ordinary people were heard everywhere on the island.

Bang!

The door of the restaurant was kicked open, and several pirates walked in. The scimitars pressed a group of diners to the square, and An was among them.

On the square, hundreds of residents of the entire island gathered here, and the crowd occasionally heard the wailing of the elderly and the crying of children.

In front of the square, the originally prosperous streets were now burning with flames.

One by one, pirates with weapons were rushing here, and many pirates' weapons were still dripping with blood.

An did not take action to deal with these pirates, because in the perception of the color of observation, An found that a large number of navy soldiers were rushing to the square.

It turned out that not long after the pirates landed, Smoker, who was holding a cigar, brought Tashigi and a group of navy soldiers to the island and chased the pirates to the square.

...

On the square.

"Colonel Smoker, long time no see," Lacey said in a gloomy voice.

"It's not a long time no see between me and a beast like you. "

Smoker's cold voice sounded, and the rage in his heart became even worse when he thought of the cruel scene in Shuiliu Village.

"Colonel Smoker is talking about Shuiliu Village," Lacey licked her lips, "That girl is so comfortable to play with."

Shut up! With a roar, Smoker waved his ten hands and smashed at Lacey.

Lacey was not to be outdone and drew her sword to fight.

As an elite of the Marine Training Camp and a natural ability owner, Smoker's strength is naturally far greater than Lacey's.

After several rounds, he used the smoke that turned into a fist to strangle Lacey's neck.

"Go to hell and repent, scum!"

At this time, Lacey said with a smile: "Colonel Smoker, if you kill me, everyone in this square will die."

"What?" Smoker looked at the square.

I don't know when both sides of the square were filled with explosives, and the pirates were holding torches and preparing to light the fuse.

"Where did you get so much explosives. "

"This is also thanks to Colonel Smoker. If you hadn't let me jump into the sea and escape, how would I have met the Flame Pirates?"

"It took me a lot of effort to defeat them. The explosives here came from their pirate ships."

"How is it? Surprising or not, unexpected or not, Colonel Smoker." Lacey made a frantic sound.

"Colonel Smoker had better let me go quickly and let me and my pirate group leave, otherwise a lot of people will die today."

In the crowd, An looked at the explosives on both sides of the square, but did not take action because she wanted to see what Smoker would do.

After hearing Lacey's words, the angry Smoker clenched his fist of smoke, and Lacey's face turned red instantly.

But Lacey didn't seem to feel Smoker's power at this time, and continued to taunt in a broken voice.

"hehe,

If you have the guts, kill me, otherwise I will let everyone on this island be buried with me. If you don't have the guts, just let me go.

Looking at Smoker who was standing there hesitating, Lacey spat out a mouthful of saliva and mocked.

"Your navy talks about justice every day, but now you have to let go of a murderer like me. Isn't it really interesting?"

"Haha... Isn't it really interesting?"

The pirates present also laughed mockingly.

"Put me down quickly, time is running out, Colonel Smoker."

Listening to Lacey's arrogant voice, Smoker hesitated.

"If Lacey is let go, more people may die in the future, just like Shuiliu Village."

"If you don't let go, many people will die in front of you now, including Navy colleagues who have worked with you for many years."

After a while of making a decision, Smoker took a deep breath and slowly put away his fruit power. "He couldn't just watch his fellow navy members die in front of him."

Feeling the weakening of strength in her neck, Lacey made a mocking voice. It seemed that I was going to find a village to relieve my anger again.

"you……"

Before Smoker could speak, a cold voice came first.

"When did a clown like you question the justice of the Navy!"

"Garbage should have the awareness of garbage."

"Who is it?" Lacey asked frantically.

A powerful aura emanated from An's body, the crowd dispersed automatically, and An Zhong walked out.

After realizing that the person speaking was a girl, Lacey let out a hideous laugh.

"Colonel Smoker, I want this girl later, I want to kill her."

Listening to Lacey's words, An's anger welled up in her heart, she jumped up and punched Lacey out of Smoker's hand, her two front teeth flying in the air.

"Such a strong force," Smoker said in surprise.

Lacey, who was thrown away by the punch, knew he couldn't escape, and said in a vague voice: "Light a fire for me, damn woman, we will all die together today."

After hearing the boss's order, the pirate stretched the torch to the fuse.

"No!" Smoker turned into smoke and flew towards the pirate who lit the fire.

"hiss……"

Looking at the ignited explosives, Lacey laughed and said, "You'll all be buried with me."

"Ice Purgatory"

The ice-blue flames spread outwards and filled the entire place in an instant, and the square was frozen instantly.

The fuse of the explosive was still screaming, but it could not move forward.

Ann walked up to Lacey and said, "Trash, do you have anything else to say?"

Before Lacey could say anything, Ann stepped on Lacey's face and kept crushing it...

A moment later, enthusiastic cheers erupted in the square.

Smoker came to his senses and ordered the navy soldiers to start catching the pirates.

The frightened pirates did not dare to resist and allowed the navy to arrest them.

After cleaning the battlefield, one pirate after another was taken aboard the warship.

Dasqi led part of the navy to search the island to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

On Ann's side, after venting his emotions, he threw a ball of blazing sun flames at Lacey, burning Lacey's soul with the flames.

The pain in the soul was far greater than the physical pain. Listening to Lacey's high-pitched scream, the surrounding navy suddenly felt horrified.

After handling the follow-up matters, Smoker turned into smoke and came to An. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Little girl, tell me your name."

Turning around and walking towards the warship, An slowly said: "A passing traveler."

Looking at An Yuan's back, Smoker stepped to follow.
