Chapter 126: Displaying Strength! Instant Kill of the Pirates
Seeing those few people suddenly charging over.
tengetsu was stunned for a moment. Then her expression turned serious as she drew the sword at her waist, staring warily at those people.
After hearing their shouts, her face darkened.
"Captain, be careful—these guys seem to be coming for us."
The captain looked pale and thin; he was probably weaker than her in strength. She had to find a way to stop these people!
Just as Amatsuki Toki steeled her resolve.
She saw the masked young man beside her calmly extend his palm.
"Swish!"
His figure remained completely still in place. From his fingertips, bullet-like wooden spikes suddenly erupted, effortlessly piercing through the bodies of those pirates.
Their figures immediately stiffened on the spot.
Then, with looks of utter disbelief on their faces, they collapsed to the ground as scarlet blood flowed from beneath them, forming pools of red.
The sight was shocking.
Even Amatsuki Toki froze in place, staring dumbfounded at the scene before her.
This was resolved in an instant—dozens of people effortlessly killed. She never imagined such a method could come from this seemingly harmless young man.
If he had wanted to kill her, it would probably have taken only a blink.
This made her swallow hard.
"On these seas, never judge by appearances—otherwise you'll die very miserably."
"But these pirates seem to be members of a large-scale slave-trading crew. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a ship docked at the edge of this island right now."
"This is an opportunity for us."
Lotte spoke calmly, warning Amatsuki Toki.
Their appearance didn't surprise him at all. After all, in the original story, Amatsuki Toki had been deceived by slave-trading pirates. If Oden hadn't suddenly appeared,
She would have had no choice but to jump straight into the future.
Hearing this.
Amatsuki Toki came back to her senses at this moment. She curiously glanced at Lotte beside her and asked in a puzzled tone.
"By the way, Captain—you don't even have your own ship?"
"Then why call yourself captain?"
Upon hearing this.
Lotte immediately shot her an annoyed glance.
"Stop talking nonsense. I just left my ship somewhere for now. Since a ready-made one has come to us, it's good news."
"Saves me the trouble of building one."
Lotte wasn't incapable of building ships. With Wood Release, making a small boat was no difficulty for him.
But constructing a larger, more detailed ship was beyond him.
After all, the precision required for shipbuilding was on a completely different level from building wooden houses—especially for ships dozens or even hundreds of meters long. The level of detail needed was enormous.
Even though Lotte was confident in his abilities.
He didn't think he could masterfully build a massive ship dozens of meters long without training. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially gone to Water 7 back then.
It was precisely to build a suitable pirate ship.
But speaking of which.
The pirate ship at Water 7 should have been completed long ago by now. As for the remaining payment, he had already arranged for Shadow to handle it.
He wondered what kind of pirate ship it would be.
Hearing Lotte's retort.
Amatsuki Toki obediently shut her mouth and silently followed behind him.
The two of them quickly reached a spot near the edge of the island and saw a large slave-trading ship about sixty meters long docked there. Some pirates were resting on the shore and resupplying with fruit.
In terms of numbers alone.
The entire large slave-trading crew probably numbered several hundred.
And they clearly had their own armed force—many held flintlock guns in their hands. They didn't look easy to deal with.
Amatsuki Toki couldn't help but hesitate when she saw this.
"Captain, do we really need to mess with so many people? Dealing with all of them seems like a lot of trouble."
"Why not just build a small boat and leave?"
Amatsuki Toki wasn't afraid of these pirates. In fact, seeing their slave-trading brutality, she now wanted nothing more than to charge in and cut them all down immediately.
But she still had her mission ahead of her, and she had this young man beside her.
Even if his abilities were impressive.
Facing so many people at once would probably be futile. After all, a large slave ship like this definitely had plenty of skilled fighters on board.
Lotte couldn't help but rub his forehead lightly.
It seemed his newly recruited crew member still didn't understand his true strength.
It was time to let her know just how terrifying her captain really was!
"Alright, just stay here. Watch how I deal with these guys."
"In a situation like this, I don't need a crew member like you reminding me."
Lotte said calmly as he stood up.
Then, without hesitation, he walked forward. He slowly drew the dual swords at his waist. Pitch-black Armament Haki instantly coiled around them.
Immediately after, Sun Breathing condensed.
Crimson flames wrapped around the blades. The scorching heat instantly scorched the ground, and even nearby branches began to burn.
Before those pirates could even react.
"Bang!"
With a sudden stomp, he vanished from his spot.
His figure turned into a meteor, easily weaving through the crowd. In just ten or so seconds, Lotte stood calmly in place wearing his mask.
Behind him,
More than a hundred pirates lay collapsed in pools of blood, dyeing the entire shore red. The burning flames devoured their clothes.
And engulfed their bodies.
Amatsuki Toki's pupils suddenly contracted as she watched this scene. She couldn't process what had just happened. These hundred-plus vicious pirates.
Were completely no match for the captain—not even a single exchange!
Wasn't he just a young man? How could he already be this strong?!
Amatsuki Toki gradually came back to her senses.
She began to realize that her captain was far from as simple as he appeared.
Meanwhile, the fallen pirates on the ground stared wide-eyed, looking in disbelief at the masked figure holding flame-wreathed blades. Their eyes were filled with endless terror.
When exactly had they provoked such a powerful enemy?!
"Hahahaha! The booze is here! Let's keep the party going!"
"A few guys seem to have slipped off into the woods to slack off. Let's hurry and divide the wine now!"
On that massive slave ship.
The remaining pirates returned carrying wine and caught sight of the bloody scene on the shore.
For a moment, they froze in place. Before they could even react, terrifying Conqueror's Haki suddenly crushed down upon them.
Instantly knocking these small fries unconscious.
Lotte sheathed his swords and calmly stepped toward the ship.
"Done. Let's set sail."
