The Professional Death-Seeker, Luo Mo
"Captain, should we give chase?" Ryuma of Ryuda asked Tianqi calmly.
"Heh, they think they can just walk away after offending our Conqueror Pirates? Not so easy. We're just killing time, so let's play around with them. Chase them!" With Tianqi's shout, the Conqueror set off and began its pursuit.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded on the high seas: one ship was chasing three others, running around aimlessly. The three ships in front tried to shake off the ship behind with cannon fire, but it was all in vain. Moreover, cannon fire was limited, and the ship in front could not keep firing indefinitely.
For five days in a row, the four ships maintained this posture. No matter how fast the three ships in front accelerated, the ship behind followed at a leisurely pace, as if it were playing with a fish, which was quite dramatic.
"I didn't expect the Conqueror Pirates to be so determined to destroy the War Axe Pirates. This is not a good thing!" In one of the cabins of the three ships, the black-haired woman was pacing anxiously. The ship had been running nonstop for five days, and she hadn't found a chance to escape. How could she not be anxious in the face of the Conqueror Pirates' pursuit?
"That idiot Luo Mo has really been killed this time. It seems we need to find an opportunity to kill Luo Mo. I wonder if that will give us a chance to live!" The black-haired woman frowned slightly. She really didn't want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
It's a taboo for a crew member to betray her captain. If she does, she'll have a hard time getting by at sea. After all, no one will take in someone who betrays their captain; it's incredibly damaging to their reputation.
The War Axe Pirates were extremely frustrated. They never expected that their ambition to dominate the Grand Line would be extinguished so quickly after only a few days on the Grand Line. From thousands of men to just a few hundred in just a few days, it was a nightmare for them.
"This is the Grand Line? Any one of them could wipe us out. It's terrifying!"
"If I had known the Grand Line was so dangerous, I would never have left the South China Sea!"
"I don't want to drift in the ocean anymore, I want to go home!"
At this moment, the War Axe Pirates had all sorts of thoughts, but no one wanted to resist. As newcomers to the Grand Line, this incident had dealt them a huge blow. Their initial enthusiasm had completely vanished, and if possible, they never wanted to set foot on the Grand Line again.
These pirates were really unlucky. The Grand Line is dangerous, but it's not this dangerous. If they hadn't encountered Tianqi, they could have made a name for themselves in the first half with their numbers of several thousand. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. Who told them to encounter the pinnacle of this world so soon after they set off?
Unlike the War Axe Pirates, Tianqi was leisurely lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, while Hancock was peeling an apple and feeding Tianqi bite by bite, while Ryuma of Ryuda watched them speechlessly.
"Captain, we've been chasing those bastards for five days already, aren't we going to attack and sink them?" Ryuma of Ryuda asked, speechless. Even with his Bushido spirit, he was completely fed up with the couple's public displays of affection. He simply couldn't stand it anymore; he couldn't concentrate on practicing his swordplay whenever he saw them.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Mental torment is often more painful than physical torment. These villains have clearly done a lot of murder and arson. Killing them with one blow would be too lenient. Besides, didn't you notice how interesting their route is?" Tianqi said unhurriedly.
"That's interesting. These ants have gone around in circles and are actually heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, which is exactly the same route as ours!" Ryuma of Ryuda nodded, also finding the ants' route quite novel; it was really a coincidence that it was the same as theirs.
"I reckon Shanks' situation is almost resolved. We can take these guys to Sabaody Archipelago. Supplies for hundreds of people aren't readily available anywhere. We'll deal with them right here in Sabaody Archipelago!" Tianqi said leisurely. With their current erratic route, they should reach Sabaody Archipelago in about ten days.
Ten days later, the War Axe Pirates on the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago and immediately disembarked, looting everything in sight. After half a month of fleeing, their food supplies were almost exhausted. Upon arriving on the island, everyone frantically scrambled for food, as no one wanted to starve to death. Their behavior attracted the attention of the Navy, who then launched a campaign to hunt them down.
In order to save their lives, this group of people coincidentally kidnapped a Celestial Dragons. It has to be said that these pirates who have just arrived in the Grand Line are really brave, daring to kidnap even Celestial Dragons. This step has given them hope.
"You marines, hurry up and prepare enough food for a thousand people, or I'll kill this fat man, do you hear me!" Luo Mo grabbed a Celestial Dragons with one hand and pointed his axe at the marines in front of him. Luo Mo was no longer the high-spirited man he had been half a month ago. Now he was more like a madman, and he was willing to do anything to eat his fill and survive.
"Captain, those monsters are catching up! If we don't run, we're doomed!" Just then, a member of the War Axe Pirates ran over in a panic.
"What? They've caught up!" Hearing that the monsters had caught up, Luo Mo was shocked and frightened, but he also seemed to have figured something out. Since he couldn't escape, he simply gave up. The mental torment and hunger were unbearable. He said fiercely, "Since they won't give us a way out, then don't blame us! Brothers, charge! Even if we die, we'll bite off two pieces of their flesh and die with a full stomach!"
"That's right, even if we die, we'll die full!" The pirates echoed, no longer wanting to be tormented by hunger.
The Celestial Dragons, held captive by Luo Mo, was utterly humiliated. His fellow Celestial Dragons had warned him of the dangers of Sabaody Archipelago, but he hadn't believed them. Now, however, he did. He'd barely had a few days to enjoy himself before being kidnapped by pirates—it was a humiliating blow. He turned his head slightly and said viciously, "You damned lowlifes! Do you even know I'm a Celestial Dragons, a World Noble? You dare kidnap me? Are you trying to defy the entire Navy? I advise you to release me now, or I'll make sure you all die a horrible death..."
"Smack!"
Before the Celestial Dragons could finish speaking, Luo Mo across the face. Luo Mo said viciously, "What the hell is this World Noble? You fatso, if you dare utter another word, I'll chop off your hands and feet!"
Having just escaped from a remote sea area, Luo Mo had no idea how powerful the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, were. If this guy hadn't been able to stop the Navy from attacking them, Rama would have killed this foul-mouthed fat man long ago.
Meanwhile, the Marines and Celestial Dragons bodyguards in front wore grim expressions the entire time. They never expected that such a small-time pirate with little strength would dare to kidnap Celestial Dragons. They thought that such a nobody wouldn't dare to do something so stupid, but the fact is that, without their knowledge, this pirate did what only a great pirate would dare to do.
"Pirates in front, don't be impulsive! You have Celestial Dragons, a world noble, in your hands. If anything happens to him, none of you will survive!" the bodyguard warned the pirates in front of him sternly.
"He's right! If you lowly people dare to touch me, just wait for the Navy Admiral to hunt you down. You'll be torn to pieces and suffer the most vicious torture!" The kidnapped Celestial Dragons continued to shout, trying to intimidate these audacious pirates with the Navy's power.
"Shut up, you lot! I don't care if you're a Marine or an Admiral. If you dare utter another word, I'll cut off your head right now!" It has to be said that when Luo Mo is pushed to the limit, he's willing to do anything. Normally, he would be scared if he heard the word "Marine" or "Marine Admiral," but now he's fearless. He immediately grabbed the man and headed towards the ship on the shore.
"What do we do now? Our lord is still in the hands of these pirates. We can't just do nothing, can we?" a bodyguard said to the naval rear admiral.
"Now I can only have my men secretly surround their path. I've already notified headquarters, and they'll send a general to support them. Let's keep an eye on them for now!" the colonel said, frowning. With the Celestial Dragons in the enemy's hands, he had no choice but to compromise.
Soon, the navy scattered in all directions, trying to find an escape route for the pirates. The rear admiral and bodyguards slowly followed the pirates. When they arrived at the beach, they saw a luxurious pirate ship anchored there, with two men and a woman standing at the bow, looking at the shore with strange expressions.
"Who are you guys? Why are you chasing us like this?!" Luo Mo roared at the people on the boat, baring his teeth.
"Offending me means you're doomed. Of course, I don't even need to lift a finger; you're already doomed!" Watching Luo Mo kidnap a Celestial Dragons, Tianqi sighed at the guy's incredible bad luck. First, he caused trouble for him, and now he's kidnapped Celestial Dragons. He's practically begging for his life. He's offended both the righteous and the wicked; he's a ruthless figure on the high seas.
"You mean, you won't attack us again?" Hearing that this person wouldn't attack him again, Luo Mo swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous, wondering if he had misheard.
The black-haired woman among the hundreds of Tomahawk Pirates looked utterly dejected. Being Conqueror Pirates was already pitiful enough, but just as she stepped into the Sabaody Archipelago to escape, she encountered Luo Mo, that idiot, who kidnapped Celestial Dragons. She was forced back by the Marines once again. To be honest, she had never seen such a suicidal person in her life. She should have known better than to hide with the War Axe Pirates. Now she had completely ruined herself.
"Sigh... I'm so unlucky. I can't escape the Navy's capture no matter where I go!" The black-haired woman shook her head vigorously. Although she said this, she still didn't want to give up. She had to think of a way.
