Within Seven Steps, the Gun Is Fast and Accurate

The harbor was silent.

The deaths of their companions sent a chill through the pirates and frightened many of the townspeople, but even more people saw hope of survival.

The Navy represented stability.

Though there was only one Marine, his willingness to stand up in a situation like this was enough to reassure them and give them back their courage.

"Go, big brother!"

"Drive the pirates out!"

"Show them how powerful the Navy is!"

More and more townspeople gathered their courage and cheered for Luo Ya, as if doing so could grant him limitless strength.

However, the imagined scene of the young Marine being greatly encouraged and shouting things like, "I'll protect you!" and "Justice will prevail!" never appeared. Instead, they received the complete opposite response.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

The young Marine had fired the gun!

"Shut the hell up, all of you!"

The young Marine was cursing at them!

The harbor instantly fell silent. Everyone immediately covered their mouths, standing perfectly still and hardly daring to breathe.

Luo Ya held up his pistol, veins bulging across his face as he fiercely glared at the cheering crowd, looking more like the villain himself.

"I'm talking about you people! You can't help at all, yet you're still hopping around over there. Are you afraid you won't die fast enough?"

"If you have so much energy to cheer for me, then get the hell out of here! Staying here will only get in my way!"

"Do you idiots understand?"

Ever since he, Luo Ya, had joined the Navy, a profession that required dedication and self-sacrifice, what he hated most was useless teammates!

They had been scolded!

The crowd that had just been cheering was filled with grievance. Some of the little girls even started crying.

Their grievance quickly turned into anger.

"Damn Marine!"

"I'm definitely filing a complaint against you!"

"You'd better not die, you bastard Marine!"

After leaving behind a few harsh words, the people at the harbor finally realized what they should do and scrambled to flee deeper into the island.

"Damn it, bring them back!"

The pirates' eyes immediately reddened. If those people escaped into the island, it would become much harder to plunder their wealth. If they delayed too long, Navy warships would arrive.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

Just as they tried to chase after them, a row of bullet holes appeared in the ground before them!

"Your opponent is me!"

Luo Ya rested his sword on one shoulder and held up the smoking Lead Bullet Pistol in his other hand, instantly intimidating every pirate.

While the pirates were stunned, Luo Ya secretly glanced at the neat row of bullet holes on the ground, and the corner of his eye twitched.

He had actually aimed at the pirates when he fired.

What a piece of junk!

It was just getting in the way. Throw it away.

The crowd was quickly evacuated, leaving only Luo Ya and more than a dozen furious pirates in the harbor.

"Damn Marine!"

Seeing his subordinates slaughtered and his plundering plan completely ruined, Captain Rossio's face twisted with rage as he immediately drew the Dual Swords from his waist.

"Boys, kill him!"

"Ooohhh!!!"

The pirates' eyes were bloodshot as they howled and swarmed forward.

Luo Ya took a deep breath. He could feel his adrenaline surging, his mind entering an unprecedented state of excitement.

When a pirate's sword came slashing down, his brain was still thinking of a response, but his body had already reacted. He sidestepped the blade and swiftly swung his own sword!

Slash!

The two passed each other.

The pirate staggered forward a few steps before a torrent of blood suddenly burst from his waist, and his body toppled uncontrollably to the ground.

Next!

"Die, Marine!"

Three pirates charged at Luo Ya side by side, swinging their swords down with all their strength. With a clang, Luo Ya blocked all three blades at once!

Screech—screech!

The blades ground against each other, spraying sparks everywhere.

"You're dead, Marine!"

The three men wore vicious expressions as they pressed down with all their strength. Yet instead of forcing their opponent down as they had imagined, their swords slowly began to rise.

How was that possible?!

A flash of horror crossed their eyes.

"This much strength isn't enough to bring me down!"

Luo Ya held his sword horizontally, veins bulging from both arms. His relentless day-and-night physical training had long made him several times stronger than an ordinary Marine.

He suddenly twisted his waist, knocking aside the three swords. Then he swept his blade across, cutting all three men down.

Before the pirates could even fall, Luo Ya stepped forward, leaped off the chest of the middle pirate, and drove his sword into the chest of the pirate behind him!

The sixth!

In the blink of an eye, six pirates had fallen into pools of blood, terrifying the pirates charging forward and forcing them to retreat again and again.

But not every pirate had been frightened.

"Die!"

A pirate standing in the back carried a Rocket Launcher. Completely ignoring his companions near Luo Ya, he pulled the trigger directly at Luo Ya!

Boom!

The shell shot out!

Luo Ya's hair stood on end. Without even a moment to think, he immediately kicked up the pirate at his feet and used him as a shield.

Boom!

Dazzling flames shot into the sky!

The next second, Luo Ya was blasted backward out of the fire, crashing heavily into a stack of cargo and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Cough, cough, cough!

Luo Ya scrambled to his feet and hid behind a cargo crate, gasping for breath.

Though the pirate's corpse had blocked the explosive damage, the blast wave still seriously injured him, filling his mouth with blood.

He had not expected this group of pirates to possess such a devastating weapon as a Rocket Launcher.

Even the 153rd Branch only had a few of them!

As the smoke gradually dispersed, the pirates failed to find Luo Ya's corpse. They immediately guessed that he was hiding among the cargo, leaving them trapped in a dilemma.

"That brat isn't dead!"

"Captain, what do we do?"

"We have to kill him!"

A warship could appear at any moment, but Luo Ya had killed so many of their companions. How could they possibly accept leaving without killing him for revenge?

Captain Rossio gave his subordinates a look. He approached the cargo pile from the front while his men moved in from both sides.

As the distance gradually closed, a white shadow suddenly rushed out from the right. The pirates, their nerves stretched taut, did not even think before thrusting their swords forward!

Stab!

Several blades pierced straight through it!

"Clothes?"

What hung from the blades was clearly a set of clothes.

At nearly the same instant, Luo Ya burst out from behind the cargo pile bare-chested, raising his sword in his right hand and slashing at Captain Rossio's head.

Clang!

The blade was blocked by the Dual Swords.

"You think I'd let my guard down?"

Rossio sneered. He had been prepared and easily blocked Luo Ya's sneak attack. He was not as stupid as his underlings.

"Idiot!"

Luo Ya snapped back, raising his free left hand. In it was a brand-new Lead Bullet Pistol.

He had another pistol!

Rossio's pupils shrank as he turned to flee in horror.

But within seven steps, the gun was both fast and accurate!

Bang bang bang bang!

Luo Ya pulled the trigger repeatedly, quickly emptying the magazine.

Looking at Rossio sprawled on the ground, his body riddled with bullet holes, Luo Ya sneered and drove his sword through the man's heart.

Remembering that the man had a bounty of three million, Luo Ya was still somewhat uneasy. He pulled out his sword and stabbed him more than a dozen more times before finally stopping in satisfaction once he was sure the man was thoroughly dead.

What if he came back to life?

"And you lot."

When Luo Ya turned around, the pirates had long since lost their earlier ferocity. One after another, they threw down their weapons and ran for their lives.

Without their captain, the pirates were utterly vulnerable.
