"I'm a Great Pirate with Bounty of over 100 million, after all. If I let a mere Marine wipe out my entire crew, where would I put my face?"
The captain rested the back of his knife on his shoulder, a confident and tyrannical smile on his face, completely disregarding his opponent.
"As expected of the captain! Let's use this Marine to further enhance our pirate crew's reputation!"
The pirates behind them kept shouting encouragement, and the civilians took the opportunity to flee.
"You scum! The common people of this country have to fight tooth and nail just to survive. How could you do this to them!"
T-Bone's eyes were bloodshot, and the scene of the people lying in pools of blood flashed before his eyes again. He raised his longsword and launched another attack.
"Hahaha~ What does their survival have to do with us? I'm a notorious pirate!"
The man laughed loudly and brandished his broadsword as he charged forward.
The two clashed again, but it was clear that T-Bone was at a disadvantage. Even if his opponent couldn't take him down quickly, his defeat was only a matter of time.
"Navy, I want your head!"
In their final clash, T-Bone's longsword was broken in two, and the pirate captain's greatsword swung towards him.
There was no panic in T-Bone's eyes, only resentment at his own weakness.
If I were stronger, I could defeat the person in front of me and save the innocent people.
"What a terrible thing!"
After someone uttered a sigh, the man felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, knocking him to the ground.
After a series of heavy footsteps, a figure dressed entirely in purple robes slowly approached from not far away.
"Captain! What have you done!"
The pirates behind him raised their machetes and charged towards Ichisuke and T-Bone.
"This blind man, please leave quickly! There's a group of vicious pirates here!"
T-Bone was a little confused as to why the man suddenly lay down on the ground, but the pirates' actions made him quickly stand up and stand in front of him.
He was never wanted, so T-Bone did not know that he was a fellow countryman of Cifer, and only regarded him as one of the suffering people of this country.
"Ahhh, what on earth happened?!"
But at that moment, before the pirates knew what had happened, they all suddenly fell to the ground, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from their bodies.
"This is... this uncle, did you defeat them all?"
T-Bone looked puzzled. The pirates who had just been in the lead had all fallen in the blink of an eye. He turned his head and focused his gaze on Yi Sheng.
"Commodore T-Bone! That man, he's an ally of the 'Black Winged Great Demon'!"
At this moment, T-Bone's marines finally caught up intermittently. One of them shouted that he had disembarked late and had seen a life disembark from the Little Ul.
"I see, no wonder it's so powerful, but thank you anyway!"
T-Bone was only stunned for a moment, unaffected by his subordinate's words. He bent down and bowed deeply to Yisheng.
Regardless of his stance, T-Bone only knew that the other party had saved him, and even more so, countless civilians who might have been persecuted.
"I am merely a comrade-in-arms who walks the same path as you; there is no need for further words."
He helped the child up, a look of relief on his face.
"What use do you think the World Government has for collecting this Heavenly Gold?"
Cifer and his group appeared at the rear at just the right time. His words made T-Bone grit his teeth, but he couldn't find any words to refute them.
One of the uses of the Heavenly Gold is to serve as military funds for the Navy. Countries that pay Heavenly Gold can notify the Navy for rescue when invaded by pirates.
But in places like the New World, which are not exactly naval territory, there are very few branches that have taken root there.
Often, the pirates have already finished their sabotage and left before the navy even arrives; this is a living example.
"The Navy? What are you doing back again?"
At this moment, a large group of people also arrived in the town, but upon arriving there, they only saw the pirates lying on the ground screaming in pain, and the marines wearing the Justice Coat covered in blood.
The leader was the town's police captain, but he hadn't expected that the pirates would be defeated so soon after he arrived.
It was a navy unit that had never arrived in time before, and the captain recognized T-Bone; he had only come here yesterday to collect the Heavenly Gold.
"We are so sorry that we failed to protect the civilians!"
T-Bone, whose waist had just been helped up by Yisheng, bent down again in shame towards the captain and the others, startling them so much that the latter rushed forward to support him.
"T-Bone, instead of bowing down and apologizing and shedding tears every time something like this happens, you should think about how to prevent it from happening again."
Cifer stepped forward and placed a foot on the pirate captain's back. With a slight exertion, the captain coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.
Sensing the current situation, he increased the gravity on the pirates, and dozens of deep pits appeared in front of them in an instant.
"So... so strong!"
Seeing the pirates die without any resistance, the police were greatly surprised. At the same time, they recognized one of the world's most vicious criminals and couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Commodore T-Bone!"
Not far away, shouts came from all directions. T-Bone looked in the direction of the sound and found his men, who had been left behind on the World Government's cargo ship, walking towards him covered in wounds.
"What on earth happened?!"
He quickly went to meet them and helped the one who looked the most seriously injured.
"It was this guy who did it."
Lucci slowly walked out from the rear of the navy, casually tossing the CP leader, who was dressed in a black suit, onto the ground as if he were throwing away trash.
The latter had all four limbs broken, was bleeding from all seven orifices, and was barely able to breathe.
"That's right, this guy tried to risk running away, and after we stopped him, he wanted to kill us all!"
The marines' answers confirmed Lucci's words, T-Bone's face darkened.
"What do you want to do... I'm a member of CP... Do you want to offend the World Government?!"
Seeing T-Bone stand up and approach him, the man in the suit panicked and forced himself to shout.
The T-Bone suddenly stopped, and as the man breathed a sigh of relief, he took off his Justice Cape, tore it into strips, and distributed them to his wounded subordinates:
"Although it's a bit rushed, let's use these to bandage the wounds first. We can have the ship's doctor treat your wounds after he has finished treating the civilians."
"Commodore! How can this be..."
His subordinates were all moved to tears; this was the uniform of justice that represented naval officers!
T-Bone simply waved his hand and walked back towards the man in the suit.
The blood shed by his men wounded his heart.
