Chapter 86

The sea is moody.

The sky was clear the previous second, but a thick layer of dark clouds accumulated in just a few minutes. The lightning flashed in the clouds and made a low roar. The dark clouds were like a hungry beast crawling and roaring on the sea.

Navy Captain Ron stood in the rain, holding a telescope and looking at a dilapidated pirate ship in the distance.

The Blood Bull Pirates, who had just been defeated in the Grand Line, were like sharks entering a school of sardines after entering the South China Sea. They did evil everywhere and committed a lot of murders. Many villages and towns were completely wiped out.

The Blood Bull Pirates, who acted so arrogantly, naturally attracted the attention of the Navy Headquarters. Soon the headquarters sent Major Ron to lead a warship to encircle and suppress them. The two sides exchanged fire several times, and each won and lost, but Ron also successfully forced them into a desperate situation.

Ron's adjutant, Captain Lezite, stood beside him with an umbrella and reminded him: "Sir, the Blood Bull Pirates have entered the waters near the Kingdom of Solbe. Do you want to continue chasing them?"

"Solbe? Which country is this?" Colonel Ron asked in surprise. Obviously, he had never heard of this country. It should be an unknown small country.

Sure enough, Adjutant Lezite proved his guess: "The Kingdom of Solbe is not a member country. Their country is too poor and cannot pay the sky gold. The navy stationed there has been withdrawn for a long time."

After hearing the words of the adjutant, Ron was obviously much more relaxed. After all, if it is not a member country, the navy has no obligation to protect them, so there is no need to rush to go to war with the Blood Bull Pirates.

At this time, an exclamation came from the watchtower.

It turned out that the Blood Bull Pirates, who were eager to seek supplies, were running at full speed towards the direction of the Kingdom of Solbe.

"Brothers, hurry up, there are big fat sheep on the shore, let's plunder them first." The pirate leader Okos, nicknamed Blood Bull, stood on the deck and shouted with a grin, as if he had seen the entire small country surrendering to his gunfire.

On the other side.

The Kingdom of Solbe was not completely unprepared. A group of kingdom guards on horseback were gathering on the coast, ready to resist the invasion of this group of uninvited guests.

Although the number of this group of guards was large, their equipment was obviously much inferior. There were only a few flintlock rifles. It seemed that they could only wait for the pirates to land and fight hand-to-hand.

On the lookout of the navy warship.

"Sir, do you want to stop them? Now is the last chance!" A young recruit reported anxiously after seeing this scene.

But Colonel Ron remained indifferent. Obviously, he had his own plan. After observing the situation of the guards with a telescope, he ordered his adjutant:

"Keep a distance from the Blood Bull Pirates. After the army on the Solbe side kills the main force of the Blood Bull Pirates, we will go over."

"But in this way, Solbe's side will suffer heavy casualties, and if one or two pirates escape into the residential area, then..." Lezite hesitated. It was obvious that Colonel Ron's approach could not be called justice.

Ron waved his hand and interrupted Lezite: "If you want to blame, blame them for not paying the sky gold."

………………

On the coastline, Sopo was anxious as he watched the vicious pirates approaching the shore.

As the king of the Solbe Kingdom, it was his unshirkable responsibility to protect national security. Therefore, every time the enemy invaded, he would personally lead his troops to resist.

There is no way. Who made the Kingdom of Solbe so poor? Not only is the land barren, but the geographical location is also bad. Pirates often attack, which makes the whole country poorer and poorer. It can't even pay the gold from the sky. The navy has directly given up protecting it.

Although he has defeated the invading enemies many times, Sopo is really unsure this time. The Blood Bull Pirates are not ordinary small pirates. Who can escape from the Grand Line unscathed is easy to mess with?

"Be prepared for battle!"

Looking at the Blood Bull Pirates with strong ships and powerful guns in the distance, Sopo is ready to fight to the death. After all, their families are behind them, and all they can do is fight to the death.

At this time! A sudden change occurred.

The first person to notice it was still the young lookout on the warship's observation deck. From his perspective, a pirate ship was speeding behind the warship at an incredible speed.

"Report, there is a pirate ship approaching us quickly! Looking at the pirate flag, it should be...it should be the Dalo Pirates!" The lookout had obviously heard of the name of the Dalo Pirates, so much so that his voice trembled a little.

.

Colonel Ron quickly walked to the edge of the deck and looked behind the ship. A pirate ship was speeding on the sea level not far away. It was as fast as a flying fish, shuttling between the waves.

"Damn it! It's really the Darrow Pirates!" Colonel Ron cursed inwardly and made a quick decision: "We are not their opponents, let them go!"

The moment the order was issued, the speeding Mermaid Anthem had surpassed the warship, and a gas explosion sounded at the stern, and then the compressed air burst instantly, pushing the ship to the direction of the Kingdom of Solbe at a faster speed.

"Captain! There is another pirate ship in front, it seems to be preparing to land in the Kingdom of Solbe. There are troops stationed on the shore. It seems that they are planning to fight." Recter, who was also holding a telescope, said excitedly to Darrow.

They had been sailing on the sea for more than half a month. They had not gone ashore for supplies for a long time. They had eaten most of the food. Although they could catch fish for food, they had been eating fish head noodles all the time. Recte was obviously a little tired.

After hearing Recte's concise report, Darrow, who was holding the rudder, touched his chin and said in a strange way: "What's the situation? Pirates invaded the country, and the navy was the audience, right?"

"What's so strange about this? The Kingdom of Solbe is in front of them. They are not a member country, so the navy will naturally not protect them. They are even happy to see them destroyed by pirates, so that they can warn those non-member countries."

Recte shrugged. He knew that this was a common situation after years of escape. Even many non-member countries would be robbed by some navy borers.

"Is that so."

Daro, holding the rudder, looked at the navy warship that had already left the sea area not far away, pointed at the pirate ship that was about to go ashore to plunder not far away, and showed a ferocious smile: "Then let's go over."

Daro let go of the rudder, raised his hands slightly, and the air around him became agitated and began to gather towards the sails. Under his control, the Mermaid Anthem began to approach the position of keeping pace with the Blood Bull Pirate Ship at a very fast speed.

"Everyone, good morning!" Daro took off his cowboy hat with a smile, and waved it slightly, as a greeting to the Blood Bull Pirates.

"Captain! He... they are the Daro Pirates!" A member of the pirate group who was a little more discerning said stutteringly.

As soon as the voice fell, the people of the Blood Bull Pirates began to panic, obviously having heard of the Daro Pirates who were in the limelight.

"Daro Pirates, what do you want to do?" Blood Bull Oaks narrowed his eyes and looked at Daro fiercely, like a wounded lion, trying to deter the enemy with his eyes.

"Nothing, but we are planning to go to the Kingdom of Solbe for supplies. Please make way for me, please!!!" Daro's voice was powerful without anger, and it was clearly conveyed to everyone in the Blood Bull Pirates like thunder.

"It's not that we don't want to make way, but the situation does not allow it. If Captain Daro doesn't let us resupply, it will force the brothers to fight to the death!" Oaks pretended to be calm and said loudly, trying to scare Daro away with a deadly gesture.

"Oh, are you threatening me?" Daro sneered, his five fingers slightly opened, and a huge cyclone began to form in the opponent's pirate ship.

Soon, Oaks and his many men began to notice that something was wrong.

First, the sails began to tear continuously, becoming like rags, and then the wooden wall panels on the deck began to collapse and were caught in the cyclone.

The ship began to shake violently, and the sailors found that the ropes in their hands began to twist like sea snakes. Even the cannons fixed on both sides of the ship began to become restless, shaking and making teeth-grinding sounds.

Some pirates wanted to fight back, but as soon as they raised their muskets, they were swept into the cyclone with their guns. Guns and swords fell on the deck with a clang, leaving only Oaks on the deck.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong just now. We are just passing through this sea area and have no intention of docking. Captain Darrow, please show mercy, we will leave now!" Oaks bowed in humiliation, but his hands tightly grasped the railing, his joints turned white.

"You're polite, I just think it's too dangerous here, and I want to ask this captain to leave first." Darrow smiled slightly, and the condensed power also dissipated, and the various strange events that happened on the blood bull ship began to calm down.

"We'll leave now!" After seeing the cyclone disappear, Oaks was obviously timid, and he lowered his posture and bowed again, while urging the sailors who could still move to leave quickly.

The ship slowly staggered, and the Blood Bull Pirates began to sail in the opposite direction of the Solbe Kingdom.

After pulling away, Oaks stared at the Mermaid Anthem fiercely, his eyes full of resentment, wishing he could open fire on the spot and smash Darrow and his ship together, but he didn't dare.

Suddenly.

A blazing bullet shot out from the direction of the Mermaid Anthem like a meteor, hitting Oaks right in the middle of his brow.

The bullet-sized fireball began to explode violently in the next second, and endless flames swept across the Blood Bull Pirates' ship like a huge wave, engulfing the entire pirate ship in an instant.

Violent screams accompanied by the smell of meat drifted across the sea, and thick smoke began to rise, taking the Blood Bull Pirates and the sins they had committed to heaven.

"Captain, this is a sneak attack, but it's a bit unethical." Recter on the deck scratched his head. At first, he thought Darrow was going to let them go.

Unexpectedly…

“I just don’t want them to fight desperately. After all, if one or two of them escape to the Kingdom of Solbe, it will be quite troublesome.” Daro said without raising his head while holding the rudder.

“As for morality, I talk about morality with them, but who can talk about morality with the people they robbed and killed?”
