Chapter 168 Scorpion Man

"Loading eggs." The scorpion man scolded the ostrich to load ammunition.

The ostrich unwisely loaded the large shells into the special sniper rifle. The scorpion man grinned cruelly, took out a match, and rubbed it against the soles of his boots, igniting them in an instant.

He used the lit match as the fuse of the shell, and then the Scorpion Man picked up the special sniper rifle. The rear barrel of the sniper rifle was loaded with a bomb.

The fuse of the bomb was emitting flames, and the sniper rifle was aimed at Ace's head.

The scorpion man smiled and said, "Goodbye. Fire Fist Ace!"

He pulled the trigger, but the bomb did not fly out.

??? A big question mark appeared on the Scorpion Man’s head.

Go back ten seconds.

The ostrich, who had just loaded the ammunition, took two steps back slowly. Then he saw the flaming bomb fuse appear in front of him.

Out of its instinctive fear of fire, the ostrich bit off the fuse immediately, and then the bomb could not be launched because the fuse was short.

The ostrich hid away with a guilty look on its face.

"You idiot!" The Scorpion Man raised the sniper rifle and checked the problem. He soon realized what the problem was.

The fuse on the ground that was one section shorter was very eye-catching.

When the Scorpion Man turned around and scolded the Ostrich, the sniper rifle somehow slipped, and the fuse of the bomb struck the match and was ignited again.

The ostrich looked at the burning fuse and made strange hesitant noises, trying to attract the scorpion man's attention, but the scorpion man was immersed in the one-way output of scolding it and did not notice the abnormality behind it at all.

Until the shouting from the King's Army came from below.

"Hey! Who are you?! What is that?! Oh my why are you here!!"

"Oh no! We've been discovered by the King's Army!" The Scorpion Man turned his head to look at the ground below, and his foot accidentally touched the sniper rifle.

The sniper rifle fell down, and the muzzle began to turn, aiming at the Scorpion Man.

The scorpion man looked at the muzzle of the gun and ran in panic, trying to avoid it. But no matter how he ran, as long as he looked back, he would find that the sniper rifle in the air was aimed at him.

Boom~

The height of the rubble pile is limited and it is impossible to fall infinitely.

The Scorpion Man hadn't run half the distance when the bomb was launched, grazed his face, and exploded into the pile of rocks behind him.

A huge explosion interrupted the Straw Hat Pirates from comforting Vivi.

Nami looked in the direction of the explosion, "What, what, what happened."

"Could it be that the Revolutionary Army is attacking?" Usopp hid behind Zoro, trembling.

"No. Kosa said that he wanted to rebuild the ruins city and would not return to Juba. And Juba is not under their management now. It seems that the king has transferred it to other people. I don't quite understand it." Old man Duoduo shook his head.

"Luffy. Go over and take a look." Sanji lit a cigarette and protected Nami and Vivi.

"Okay." Luffy smiled, and his feet were so fast that he slipped past in an instant.

"This guy's impatient personality hasn't changed at all." Ace smiled helplessly at the impatient Luffy.

Several people rushed over following the sound of the explosion.

Under the rubble, half of the body of a King's Army soldier was buried under the rocks. This King's Army soldier was the same King's Army soldier who had just scolded the Scorpion Man.

The scorpion man was stuck in the rubble with his legs up in the air, and the ostrich was lying next to him with his feet up in the air.

"Help~" Because the King's Army's head was not pressed down, he shouted for help to Luffy who came over.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Luffy stretched out his hands and grabbed the King's Army's shoulders.

"Um. What happened here?" Weiwei asked with concern.

"Princess Vivi, be careful, there is a terrorist here. He caused the explosion just now." The king's army had not yet escaped from the rubble, but when he saw Vivi, he immediately reminded the other side to be careful.

Usopp exclaimed: "Where are the terrorists? Where are they!"

He screamed, hiding behind Nami and running around. Nami's forehead was faintly burning. Vivi stretched out her hands, signaling Usopp to calm down.

"Terrorists. Is that what you mean?" Sanji stood on the left side of the ostrich; Zoro stood on the right side of the scorpion man, and they both said in unison.

Ajin covered his face and couldn't bear to look at the Scorpion Man and the Ostrich. If they could be considered terrorists, then they were really cheap terrorists.

"Whether it is true or not, we can just dig them out and ask them and we'll know." Ace fell behind the team, his eyes fixed in the direction of the arena. He had a feeling that the navy had sent people over again.

"That's right." Nami agreed with Ace's point of view. She looked at Sanji and Zoro and ordered, "Sanji, Zoro. Pull him up!"

"Okay! Miss Nami!" Sanji grabbed the ostrich's leg with one hand and pulled it out with force.

"Ah~" The moment the ostrich was pulled out, most of its feathers were rubbed away by the stone pestle. When it appeared in front of everyone, it had become a skinned turkey.

Luffy looked at this ostrich and couldn't help drooling.

"Ostrich~" The ostrich looked at everyone tremblingly.

"Idiot. The person you were asked to pull was a human!" Usopp waved and clapped his hands, complaining loudly.

"This guy?" Zoro looked at the Scorpion Man's legs with disgust. Finally, he chose to draw his knife and chop the pile of rubble.

From top to bottom, Zoro chopped the rubble into sand and gravel particles.

Thanks to Zoro's slash, the King's Army, which was pressed at the bottom, was also freed. Although the King's Army was freed, it was because Luffy pulled him with his rubber ability, so the moment he flew out, he flew to another place.

Weiwei looked at the situation of the King's Army flying out with concern, but she knew that the Scorpion Man at the moment was more critical.

The scorpion man climbed out of the stone pestle and was surrounded by people. It was a large black mass, giving people an oppressive feeling as if a storm was about to come and destroy the city.

He looked at the freckled face and began to back out.

"Who are you?" Everyone asked in unison about the Scorpion Man's identity.

"I, I am..." The Scorpion Man looked at Ace's face and his eyes wandered to the side.

"Wait. Luffy. I think I know who he is." Ace was standing aside and saw a scorpion-shaped ball on the scorpion man's arm. He couldn't help but make some guesses.

"Who is he?" Luffy asked stupidly.

"Luffy. Do you remember why I came to Yuba?" Ace coaxed.

Luffy tilted his head, looking like he had no idea what Ace was talking about.

Weiwei whispered, "Ace. Are you saying that this is the Scorpion Man who defeated Blackbeard?"

"It should be him. Besides the king's army, there's the old man here. And there's the man with a scorpion embroidered on his arm." Ace pointed at Duoduo, who was slowly coming over behind the crowd.

"But this guy, who looks clumsy, is he really the one who can kill Blackbeard? After all, Blackbeard was once a crew member of the Four Emperors." Zoro looked at the Scorpion Man with a questioning expression.

So scary. Zoro's expression successfully frightened the scorpion man.

"It doesn't matter. Didn't we know that this was fake news a long time ago? Now, uncle. You have to answer my question carefully. Why did you trick me here?" Ace squatted in front of the scorpion man, raised his right hand, and flames appeared in his palm. He had a smiling look in his eyes and looked like a good guy.

But Zoro and the others knew that Ace was filled with a strong killing intent. If the Scorpion Man's answer did not satisfy him, he would probably be roasted in the next second.
