Pirates: The Strongest Justice

East Blue, Orangetown.

This place is located on the edge of the Marine branch and is famous for its excellent orange cultivation. However, due to frequent intrusions by pirates, the residents of this town are not very wealthy and can only barely maintain food and clothing.

"Mayor! Oh no, another pirate ship has appeared in the port!"

Mayor Budol, who had been busy all morning, was ready to take a rest, but the news brought by the panting young man at the door made him ignore his physical fatigue. He picked up the coat he had just taken off and was about to go. Rush to the town entrance.

"Wait a minute, you go first." Suddenly remembering something, Budol stopped, "I'll go ask Marine for help first!"

"But……"

The young man hesitated.

"There is no but, reporting to Marine at this time is equivalent to one more possibility."

Budol also knew in his heart that even if Marine responded in time, they would most likely not be able to get here after the pirates took over the entire town. The location of Orange Town was so remote that Marine, who was responsible for the jurisdiction of the town, would not be able to get here. The branch is always unable to provide adequate support.

"Okay, mayor, please hurry up..."

The young man gritted his teeth and could only obey.

In fact, it is not that there are no security personnel in the town. Young people are members of the security team. However, it is not a problem to maintain order and deal with some local gangsters. But if you really encounter pirates, a few lives are not enough for them to kill.

…………

The town is not very big. The entrance of the town is close to the port, which facilitates the export of oranges. Planting is one of the important sources of income for the residents of the town.

At this time, a large number of townspeople had gathered at the port, most of them young and middle-aged people. The leader was an older man with a calm demeanor.

Facing them was a group of pirates holding weapons, talking and laughing, and constantly spitting out sweet things. They are already familiar with plundering small towns without their own armed forces. Even if they encounter a little resistance, it will only take a little more time, so they don't pay attention to the people in the small town at all.

The town was not established very long ago. The old man was one of the earliest founders and had long been used to many ups and downs. I understand that young people are full of energy and naturally have to come out to maintain it. Otherwise, once these pirates are angered, this small town may disappear from the map of East Blue.

"Mr. Captain, he looks familiar."

Although he was very scared, it was not because he was afraid of his life, but because he was carrying the lives of the whole town on his back. To put it bluntly, he is so old and has already had enough life, but he does not want the town he built with his own hands to be destroyed now.

"Hahaha, old man, you have a good memory. Laozi just came here last month!"

This is a fat man with a tall body. Years of living at sea have made his skin cracked and sallow, making him look very ferocious and sinister.

"Since this captain has already been to Appearance Town, he should understand our situation. We really don't have any extra money to pay tribute to you adults!"

The old man begged with a wry smile, even he understood that this was just a useless effort.

as expected.

"Hahaha! Laozi is a pirate. If you dare to bargain with Laozi, you are really embarrassed!"

The fat pirate didn't care about this. He didn't kill everyone in the town directly last time because he was thinking of recycling. He didn't expect to spend money so much. If he couldn't be satisfied this time, then...

"Go! Let's fight him..."

"Mad, the worst possible outcome is death, what are you afraid of!"

"That's right, these bastard pirates, do they really think we are fools?"

Hearing the pirates' humiliation, a group of young people suddenly blushed and wanted to go forward and chop these pirates to death.

"hey-hey……"

The fat pirate is not angry. If he can't get enough money to satisfy him later, he doesn't mind slaughtering the whole town. There will always be something to gain by scraping the ground.

"Shut up!"

Budol rushed over sweating profusely. He could hear the scoldings of the young people in the town from a distance, and he felt even more anxious. He was afraid that if he arrived a step too late, a bigger conflict would result.

"What are you doing! If you don't want to live, then your family will lose their lives!"

"Mayor, you..."

Ignoring the rebuttals of others, Budol turned around with a flattering smile and complimented the fat pirate, "Can you please give us some time? We were already too poor to open the pot after you visited our town last time." …”

"Huh? You mean, Laozi makes you hungry!"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Budol quickly retorted that his purpose now was to delay time and try his best to delay Marine's support, but the next words of the fat pirate in front of him made him horrified.

"I think you informed Marine! You want to delay..."

"Absolutely not..."

A trace of panic flashed across Budol's face when he was poked at the central point, and he was about to quibble.

But how can pirates listen to such nonsense? For people like them who lick blood from their swords, even if they have just a little suspicion, it is worth taking action. Otherwise, if they are not careful, their heads will be moved.

Uh-huh!

Swing the machete in your hand!

Just when everyone thought that Budor would die on the spot in the next moment, a light voice broke into everyone's ears.

"I'm so sorry. You are unlucky today..."

Before the obese pirate could react, his whole body was instantly burned to ashes and drifted into the wind.

"Gulu~"

The pirates who were still having fun suddenly became quiet and no longer looked as relaxed as before. They were obviously frightened by the strange scene in front of them.

No nonsense, Conqueror's washes the ground. These pirates are all low-level pirates. In the whole group, there is only the fat pirate from before who carries a pitiful bounty, so he is intimidated by Atlas' Conqueror's. , one by one, bleeding directly from the orifices, fell to the ground.

"Marine? Backup so fast?"

Budol, who was surviving the disaster, looked at Atlas appearing in front of him with confusion. He was wearing a pure white suit, but the epaulettes on his body looked strange to him.

"I'm really sorry. Justice cannot be absent, let alone late. This is our Marine's fault."

Atlas also knew that although the four seas were under Marine's control, the troops and military expenditures were really limited. The number of pirates was now increasing, so Marine's reinforcements were not timely.

"Huh? Don't be sorry. It was thanks to Marine-sama's promptness that we survived this time."

Budol waved his hands quickly. It would be false to say that he didn't complain about Marine's lack of timely support, but at the same time he understood the situation.

In today's world, it has become increasingly difficult for civilians to survive. Without Marine's protection, there would be no hope.
