Chapter 280: There are no saints in the pirate world
boom! boom! boom!
The pirate captain was loudly begging for mercy while banging his forehead against the deck. His current disheveled appearance was completely unlike that of a pirate captain.
"Hmm? Hehehe! This is the first time I've met a pirate captain like you! Well then, give me a reason not to kill you!"
Slad sized up the pirate kneeling before him, rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Yes! Yes! My name is Fusov, and I was originally a small-time hoodlum in the Kingdom of Soderle. They were all my subordinates! It was only because the King of the Kingdom of Soderle suddenly became tyrannical, cruel, and bloodthirsty five days ago that we had no choice but to go to sea and become pirates!"
The pirate captain, Fossoid, knelt on the ground, speaking in a trembling tone, his face filled with fear, especially when he spoke of the king of the Sodler Kingdom.
"What?! Five days ago? Does that mean you guys only set sail as pirates five days ago?"
Upon hearing Fossord's words, Slad's face immediately showed an expression of disbelief. He had actually wiped out a pirate crew that had only been around for five days.
"Uh! Sir! You're right! It's only been five days since we set sail!"
Seeing Slad's reaction, a hint of doubt flashed in Frost's eyes, and he cautiously replied...
"Damn it! I should have known better than to rush here!"
After receiving confirmation, Slad was speechless for a moment. He muttered something under his breath and looked again at Frosold kneeling before him.
"Hey! You bastard! I'm asking you! How far is this place from the Kingdom of Sodler you mentioned? Is there a record of it?"
Slad didn't want to stay there any longer, but he still patiently asked a question.
"Hmm? Log pointer? What's that? Oh! We've been traveling in one direction for about four or five days!"
Fossoid's face first showed a look of confusion, then he immediately pointed to the direction on his left.
"Damn it! You bastards who don't even know what a Log Pose is! How dare you set sail and become pirates?"
boom!
Frost's answer left Slard speechless, so he kicked him away, sending Frost's body crashing into the edge of the pirate ship.
boom!
Click!
With immense force, Fossord smashed the hull of the pirate ship, cracking it open, and Fossord was immediately knocked unconscious.
"waste!"
Slad glanced at the unconscious Fossod, coldly uttered a single sentence, and then turned and left the pirate ship.
"Hey! Brother Slade's back!"
On the deck of the Liberty, Bartolomeo, engrossed in training, looked up and spotted Slade falling from the sky. He immediately got up and went to meet him.
"Hey! How about it? Are those pirates tough? With Brother Slater's skills, he should have taken them down easily, right?"
Bartolomeo followed closely behind Slad, constantly asking questions, his curiosity evident.
But Slad ignored the guy and walked straight toward Mu Chong with his head down, leaving Bartolomeo completely bewildered.
boom!
"Huh? Slad! What's this?"
Mu Chong placed the dumbbells on the deck, stood up, looked at Slad with a strange expression, and asked in confusion.
"Captain! That pirate crew ahead is made up of guys who have only been at sea for five days! The reason is that there's a country called the Kingdom of Sodler, about four days' sailing distance from us. Their king suddenly became cruel and bloodthirsty five days ago, and these guys couldn't survive in the kingdom, so they went to sea to become pirates!"
Slad's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever, and he spoke as if he were stating something trivial.
"Oh? What a bunch of reckless fools! This is the Grand Line, and they dare to barge in without any strength! Heh heh! They're asking for death!"
After hearing Slad's description, Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, then lost all interest, shook his head slightly, and ignored him, continuing his training.
Most of the others who heard Slard's description also showed little interest. These kinds of people who blindly set sail are everywhere in the world; they always have all sorts of bizarre reasons to become pirates.
The dawn of the Great Pirate Era led everyone to become lost in the allure of the One Piece, whispered by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Countless individuals sought to seize it, resulting in countless acts of abandoning their homes, wives, and children, plunging the seas into a reign of terror and bloodshed.
call!
A sea breeze swept across the calm surface of the sea, and the Liberty's hull brushed past the pirate ship that had been blocking its path. Not a single person on the Liberty gave the pirate ship a second glance; everyone was focused on their intense training on the gravity-covered deck.
Meanwhile, on the deck of the pirate ship, Fossord, who had been knocked unconscious by Slade's kick, was surrounded by his crew, his eyes fixed on the Liberty slowly sailing past.
"Phew! Captain! That guy's strong! Luckily he didn't intend to kill us! Otherwise, we'd all be dead!"
"Cough cough cough! Captain! This open sea is still too dangerous. With our current strength, I'm afraid..."
The two pirates supporting Fossord spoke to him with lingering fear, their eyes flashing with regret.
"Hmph! What can we do? Go back? Don't forget! Half of our brothers died at the hands of that cruel Soder Taylor. Going back now would be no different from courting death."
Upon hearing the two pirates' words, Fosso's face immediately contorted with rage, his eyes fixed on the direction the Liberty had traveled, filled with hatred.
Frost's words silenced everyone around him. Six days ago, everything was fine, but since five days ago, everything has changed.
"Hey? Captain! What's that up there in the sky?"
Just then, a pirate suddenly pointed to the sky above and shouted loudly.
The pirate's shout instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a black sphere the size of the moon appeared in the once clear sky. As time passed, this black sphere grew larger and larger, with red flames rising around it.
"Hiss! A meteorite! It's a meteorite..."
"Captain! It's going to crash down! Run!"
boom!
Amidst the terror of all the pirates on the ship, an enormous meteorite hurtled straight towards them. Its terrifying power and scorching heat caused the pirates to scatter in all directions, some even jumping into the sea.
"This...this...how could this be..."
boom!
Fossoder slumped on the deck, his eyes filled with utter confusion. Even in his dying moments, he never understood why this meteorite had appeared.
boom!
laugh!
The meteorite crashed into the sea, instantly destroying the pirate ship. The entire sea surface was deformed by the immense force of the impact, and plumes of white smoke filled the area.
Meanwhile, on the observation deck of the now-gone Freedom, Mu Chong and Slad stood side by side, their gazes fixed on the distant sky.
"Slad! Remember! On this sea, no pirate crew is innocent. The moment they hoist their pirate flag and step onto the deck, their future is destined to be one of licking blood from the blade!"
Snapped!
Mu Chong raised his hand and patted Slad on the shoulder, his eyes revealing a determined look.
"Slad! The reason you can't fully control your Conqueror's Haki right now is because your heart isn't strong enough! I don't mean for you to become a killer! But a unified mind and unwavering belief are what a true king should have!"
After Mu Chong finished speaking, he jumped off the observation platform, but a low murmur drifted through the air.
"The world of pirates! Talk about compassion? Hahhh!"
