Chapter 149: The Massacre of the Village! This is what pirates are all about!
The Freedom slowly approached the shore. This island had no harbor for ships, only a flat beach where they could dock.
boom!
Just as the Liberty came to a complete stop, another roar echoed across the island, followed by a gradual return to silence.
"Captain! Those guys were quick; it looks like they're already done!"
Slad slung the two-meter-long iron rod over his back, turned to Mu Chong, and said...
"Let's go! To the island!"
Mu Chong didn't say much. What happened on the island wasn't really his concern. If he could help, that was fate; if not, that was destiny.
As always, the entire Liberty crew disembarked; no one stayed behind to watch the ship. The Liberty's safety has always been absolutely guaranteed, provided there is no threat.
The closer Mu Chong and his group got to the center of the island, the stronger the smell of gunpowder and blood became in the air. Belinda and Aisha, the two girls, had already begun to frown.
"Captain! This island isn't very big. It might just be this one village on the whole island. The pirates have probably finished their operation and are now converging on the other side of the island!"
Enel, his white robe embroidered with silver lightning bolts, his Observation Haki covering the entire island, frowned slightly and spoke.
"Captain! There are people over there!"
As everyone entered the village, Baku suddenly pointed to the entrance of an alley and said...
Stab it!
As soon as Baku finished speaking, a faint rumble of thunder was heard from the side, and then Enel's figure vanished from the spot.
"Huh?! Who is it?"
Stab it!
boom!
A scream came from the alleyway in the distance, and the next moment, Enel threw a man dressed as a pirate in front of everyone.
puff!
Before the pirate could react, a chilling sensation ran down his neck, and a pristine white longsword appeared just below his throat, dripping crimson blood.
"Ah?! You!! This... have mercy!"
This series of actions left the pirate completely bewildered, and the pain in his neck made him beg for mercy.
"Hey! Quiet down! I have a question for you. What kind of pirate crew are you? What are you doing here? How many people have you killed?"
Slad gripped the hilt of a longsword—a sword formed from his power—and coldly stared at the pirate, speaking with an icy expression.
"I...we are the Wewood Pirates, our captain is the great pirate Wewood with a bounty of 800 million, we stopped here to rest, I...I didn't kill anyone..."
"He's lying, Captain!"
Just as the pirate finished speaking, Aisha's voice rang out from the side, her expression somewhat angry.
"Ok?"
puff!
"Ah!! Spare me! Spare me! I wasn't lying!"
Upon hearing Aisha's words, Slade instantly plunged his longsword into the pirate's thigh, the immense pain causing the pirate to scream in agony.
"Hmph! The bounty is wrong, the purpose of landing is wrong, and besides, you killed someone!"
Elsa adjusted her wide-brimmed hat, revealing a beautiful face, and spoke with an air of confidence.
"Huh?! You, what happened?"
Aisha's confident voice completely threw the pirate into a panic; he had never expected her to be so accurate.
"Hahahaha! That's really good, Aisha! You're getting better and better at using Observation Haki!"
Mu Chong witnessed this entire scene. Aisha's reaction made him laugh; what terrifying Observation Haki!
"Let's go! There's no need to waste time with him. What can a pirate possibly say that we can trust? Let's go into the village and take a look!"
Mu Chong glanced at the pirate sitting on the ground, and as he spoke, he walked towards the center of the village.
Watching Mu Chong and his group disappear into the distance, the pirates sitting on the ground seemed to wake from a dream. They quickly got up and ran in another direction towards their own pirate ship, intending to report to their captain.
Stab it!
But just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly fell from the sky, striking the pirate squarely on the head.
Without even a scream, the pirate met his end. Even as he collapsed, he couldn't understand why such a thick bolt of lightning would strike from a clear blue sky.
call!
"Dead! Dead! This one's dead too! Cough cough! Not a single one's alive, these heartless pirates! How despicable!"
Dozens of corpses lay scattered haphazardly on the village's central street. Belinda, accompanied by her white cat Mumu, examined each body, but it was all too late to save them.
"This is what pirates are all about!"
Seeing this, Baku spoke in a deep voice, saying that since he boarded the Liberty, such pirate-like behavior hadn't happened in a long time.
"Captain! After they've caused this commotion in the village, forget about supplies, even filling our stomachs is a problem!"
Slad looked around; the entire village was filled with collapsed and burning houses, and there were no supplies left.
"Uh! Captain! Should we stop those pirates? They've looted all the supplies in the village. If we stop them, we can get the supplies, right?"
Baku turned to look at Mu Chong, tentatively asking a question. To him, perhaps a double-cross was a good idea.
"Hahahaha! There's no reason for this, Baku! In that case, let's go! Let's go to the next island. What a pity we're a step too late!"
"Tch! I knew it! Captain!"
Mu Chong's words elicited a sarcastic response from Enel, who was standing nearby.
"Hahahaha! Enel, isn't this our captain? This guy always has some excuse for not fighting! Sigh, let's go! We're going to be hungry!"
Slad's words brought smiles to everyone's faces, while Baku moved over to Mu Chong's side and whispered an apology, only to be stopped by Mu Chong raising his hand.
"Hey! Let's go! Mumu!"
"Meow!!!"
Everyone turned and left, but Mu Chong turned back and called out to the white cat Mu Mu, who had fallen behind.
boom!
call!
Just as White Cat Mumu responded to Mu Chong, a cannonball fell towards White Cat Mumu.
boom!
The shells landed and exploded, shaking the ground, sending up clouds of dust, and the roar echoing throughout the street.
"Hehehehe! Men! Look what we've found! There are survivors in the village, and wait, there are two beautiful women too?"
Before the smoke from the shells had even cleared, extremely smug laughter rang out from the other end of the street.
"Gah gah gah gah! It has to be Captain Akeg, following the captain means you get to eat and drink the best!"
"That's right! Captain Akog, after you've had your fun with those two women, I wonder if I could have a taste of meat too?"
"You're being naughty again, you little rascal..."
As the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, a group of figures at the other end of the street became clearer.
A dozen or so pirates surrounded a man dressed in a long black robe, with his hair sticking up in the air. A bandage wrapped diagonally across his face covered his left eye, and he held a flintlock pistol in his hand. This man was Akug, the captain of the Wewood Pirates.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Give me those people..."
"Roar!!!"
Just as Akug was enjoying the praise from the pirates and preparing to give the order to capture Mu Chong and his crew, a roar from the smoke of the explosion interrupted Akug's words.
Then, Mumu, the white cat, slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, her once pristine white fur now covered in dust.
"Roar!!!"
It was clearly a cat, yet it let out a roar resembling that of a tiger, showing just how angry Mumu was.
"Gah gah gah gah! Captain Akeg, is that tiger angry? It's just a beast, it..."
boom!
The moment the pirate's voice faded, the white cat Mumu vanished from the spot of the explosion. The pirates only saw the shattered ground before Mumu reappeared before them.
"Roar!!!"
At the same time, whispers arose among Mu Chong's group.
"Captain! Mumu's angry!" [Aisha]
"It's not my fault! I didn't activate my Observation Haki!" [Mu Chong]
"Enel, you could have blocked that cannonball!" [Mu Chong]
"Tch! Don't try to smear me, Captain!" [Enel]
"I think so too!" [Slard] [Baku]
"What do you think?!" [Enel]
"What kind of people are these?! Aren't you going to help?" [Belinda]
