Two months later!
Cocoyasi Village!
Corpses everywhere, wailing echoed, with angry roars and horrified shouts.
"100,000 Berries for adults?"
"50,000 Berries for children?"
"Will be killed if we can't pay?"
"Pirates? Ridiculous!"
Kuina carried a long and narrow Spirit Blade, walking coldly towards Arlong, whose right hand had been cut off.
The Arlong Pirates.
Arrived in the East Blue two years earlier than the original timeline. Three or four months ago, Fisher Tiger just died, and Arlong released the evil in his heart.
Just arrived at Cocoyasi Village three days ago.
Met Kuina, who was training through battle.
She was ignorant before going to sea.
But only two months after going to sea to cultivate, Kuina understood the evil of pirates, which is unforgivable.
Two months.
Destroyed nine pirate crews, every pirate was extremely evil.
Burning, killing, looting!
Committing all kinds of crimes!
"Why be a pirate?"
Kuina's voice was cold.
Ten days ago, she met a girl, sweet-looking, good personality, cheerful, lively, and humorous.
Such a girl.
Made Kuina think she was a good girl.
But two hours later.
Everything changed.
"Why rob the villagers' money?"
"...I'm a pirate, robbing money is normal, right? If I don't rob money, what do I eat! Look for treasure? Where are there so many treasures! Rob pirates? People will die! But I won't kill civilians."
"..."
This worldview.
Made Kuina almost collapse, especially as the other party smiled and said words she thought were natural.
Can't you work to earn money?
Kuina questioned, suddenly felt meaningless.
She understood.
Even if some pirates are kind and yearn for freedom, they are of no benefit to this world.
Not engaging in production.
Only harm.
"The more seemingly kind pirates, the more they deserve to die!"
"You, deserve to die even more!"
Kuina cut off Arlong's head with a sword amidst the surprise of the Cocoyasi villagers.
"Honest and kind?"
"Six-sword style invincible?"
"Die!"
Kuina turned around and hacked Hatchan to death, who looked somewhat kind and brought them to Cocoyasi Village.
Watching Kuina coldly slaughtering fish-men one by one, the Cocoyasi villagers were suddenly a bit afraid.
"Is it... too cruel?"
A villager spoke like this.
This sentence made Bell-mère laugh, a cold laugh: "Can you stop being so naive? How many people did they kill in three days? No one died in your family, so it has nothing to do with you? Do you want to ask her to leave and let those pirates continue killing?!"
That villager smiled awkwardly.
Many villagers were ashamed and embarrassed.
10-year-old Nojiko said with a straight face: "That Arlong kicked Mother, and other fish-men were laughing. They all deserve to die."
"Mmm mmm, sister is right."
Eight-year-old little Nami nodded repeatedly.
But her eyes couldn't leave Kuina, who was waving her sword and slashing continuously. Covering her eyes with small hands, she peeked.
That sister, not much older than her, is so amazing. One slash killed several fish-men who claimed to have ten times the strength of humans.
Outside Cocoyasi Village.
On the ship, Hyuga Hanabi, feeling Kuina's increasingly intense emotional fluctuations, worried: "Little sister, will this make her thinking extreme?"
After Kuina was taught for half a month.
Started free-range, given a small boat, let her roam in the East Blue, solving problems she encountered.
But after encountering several evil pirate crews in a row.
Kuina's thinking changed.
Regardless of good or bad, kill pirates on sight!
Hanabi was not worried about Kuina killing pirates, but worried about her becoming bloodthirsty, cold-blooded, and losing her nature.
"Everything has two sides. We should choose to believe in Kuina, she can stick to her heart."
Lucian said, looking at Hanabi and asking a question: "Do you understand Kuina's saying that the kinder the pirate, the more they deserve to die?"
This sentence.
A bit contradictory.
Hanabi's thoughts turned rapidly, suddenly realizing: "I understand Kuina's idea."
"Although some pirates are kind, saving people in the name of pirates influences people, making more kind people go to sea as pirates."
"Not everyone influenced can remain kind, eventually falling into evil."
"Saving people in the name of pirates is the greatest evil in itself, indirectly killing more innocent people."
Correct answer.
Mikoto agreed.
Saving people is a heroic act, but if the savior shouts "I am a pirate, I want to become the Pirate King," it will make children think pirates are heroes, and the Pirate King is the king of heroes.
Distorting the thinking of the new generation.
Making the world more chaotic.
So, in Kuina's current view, regardless of character, pirates are evil and deserve to die.
"Eh? Another pirate crew?"
Hyuga Hanabi looked into the distance.
A not-so-small pirate ship sailed slowly, the skull on the pirate flag had a red nose.
"Kuina is here."
"Looks like bad luck, done for."
Hyuga Hanabi affirmed. Currently, Kuina hates pirates the most.
"Bad luck?"
Seeing who the comer was, Lucian thought the other party's luck reached the limit of the world.
But things reverse when they reach an extreme.
The possessor of the world's strongest Luck Haki finally turned luck into bad luck.
"Listen up, small village ahead!"
"Hand over all treasures. You can choose not to hand them over, then I will destroy this village!"
?!
A loud shout came, making the Cocoyasi villagers panic again.
Just solved the Arlong Pirates.
Another pirate crew?
"Damn it, these pirates are too much!"
Little Nami was furious, punching with her small fists.
Bell-mère picked up a sword dropped by a fish-man: "We can't always rely on others, we must resist!"
Kuina will eventually leave.
Pirates may come again. If they don't resist when someone helps this time, they won't think of resisting next time when no one helps.
"Boom!"
A cannonball landed on the coast of Cocoyasi Village, directly blasting a piece of land.
"Did you see? This is just a small cannonball. My Buggy Ball can even destroy half a town!"
"Give you half an hour, put all treasures on the coast, otherwise I will blow you all up."
Bursts of threatening shouts came from a distance, scaring many villagers into fleeing frantically.
Too scary.
More scary than the Arlong Pirates. There are pirates in the East Blue who threaten to destroy the whole village for money.
"Buggy Ball? Buggy the Clown!"
Bell-mère was startled.
The Arlong Pirates just arrived in the East Blue a few days ago, not famous, but the Buggy Pirates have been rampant in the East Blue for several years.
Bell-mère used to be a Marine. Because her unit was wiped out in a battle with pirates, seeing 3-year-old Nojiko holding 1-year-old Nami on the battlefield, she decided to adopt the two girls and retire.
So.
She knew a lot about Buggy.
"According to the officer, Buggy the Clown is taboo about others talking about his nose, and often goes crazy and hurts the innocent because of this."
"He even takes pleasure in abusing the weak. Once out of anger, he used Buggy Cannonballs to bomb multiple towns indiscriminately, causing countless casualties."
"Likes robbing treasures the most, committing all kinds of crimes."
Bell-mère's words chilled the villagers.
Really destroyed towns, there is such a brutal pirate.
"Heh!"
Kuina's eyes were cold.
The world outside Shimotsuki Village is messy enough.
Step, step, step.
Kuina walked towards the sea holding the Spirit Blade without saying a word, under the villagers' shock.
Stepping on the sea surface.
Walking towards the slowly sailing pirate ship.
Little Nami was dumbfounded: "That sister is so amazing, walking on the sea."
Person from the Holy Empire?!
Bell-mère was even more shocked.
As a former Marine, how could she not know that soldiers of the Holy Empire can walk on the sea.
"...Maybe I should take them to live in the North Blue, but it's too far, too far."
It is rumored that there are no more pirates or villains in the North Blue. Bell-mère also hopes to give Nami and Nojiko a stable life.
But the East Blue is separated from the North Blue by half the world.
"Bu... Bu... Lord Buggy, look... someone... someone ran over."
A pirate saw it, incoherent with shock.
"Are you stuttering?"
Wearing a pirate hat, Buggy touched his red nose and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"With me here, who dares to run over?"
Buggy said confidently. As a man who believes the essence of being a pirate is snatching wealth, he dreams of getting all the treasures in the world.
Even if this village has no money, no matter how small, it's still meat.
"Hiss!!"
When Buggy glanced at the sea surface.
Splash.
In an instant, Buggy was shocked, his whole body split apart, eyes flying out.
A little girl ahead, running on the sea surface, approaching here rapidly.
"Quick, attack quickly!"
Subconsciously, Buggy was a little scared, ordered to attack, but Buggy quickly shouted: "No, flee quickly, sail the ship, run quickly!"
"Damn it."
"My luck is so bad!"
"Damn it, people from the Empire are on this small island. Will die, definitely people will die."
Buggy was sweating profusely, fear in his eyes.
Watching the Sabaody battle live broadcast seven years ago, he also recognized the other party's running on the sea as an Empire characteristic.
Empire people are all monsters.
Other times are fine, but robbing an island where Empire people are, Buggy dare not imagine, will he die?
Today's luck is exceptionally bad.
"Can't escape!"
Approaching the pirate ship a few meters away, Kuina held the Spirit Blade with both hands, aiming at the pirate ship.
"Using a sword? Good good, there is a chance."
Seeing the attack prepared by the opponent was swordsmanship, Buggy breathed a sigh of relief, "Sail quickly, I'll block it."
Buggy's half body flew over.
"Sword Pressure!"
Kuina erupted with spiritual power and slashed wildly.
A slash of more than ten meters burst out, attacking the flying half-body Buggy directly.
"Although I'm afraid of the Empire's monsters, for a little girl, I, Buggy, am least afraid of slashes... Woo ahhh!"
Buggy didn't finish, letting out a painful sound.
His right hand was cut open. Possessing the Chop-Chop Fruit should be unharmed, but the pain of soul tearing came from his right hand!
"Ahhh, it hurts so much."
Buggy roared, his eyes full of disbelief.
Even if slashed by Captain Roger back then, he wouldn't be injured.
But this Empire girl.
"Die!"
One move succeeded.
Although Kuina was surprised that other parts of the opponent were also splitting, Kuina attacked mercilessly.
Jumped up from the sea surface.
Slashed directly at Buggy's head.
Blade slashes the soul!
"Bang!"
At this time, a gunshot rang out.
Kuina's Spirit Blade was directly bounced off, making her flip in mid-air and land on the sea surface.
"Another pirate!"
Kuina stabilized her body and looked coldly at a large pirate ship sailing over again ahead.
Person unseen, voice first.
"Little girl, give me face, spare Buggy this time."
Hearing the voice from afar, Kuina's expression became colder.
"Why should I give you face?"
Red Hair: "..."
