Boss Kashal... Help!

Luo Ze's voice was not loud, and his tone was exceedingly calm. Since Ellie was lying in his arms, he did not draw his longsword. Yet the moment his words fell, not one of those who had been clamoring to drive Ellie out dared to speak again.

The scene instantly fell silent. Every villager looked at Luo Ze as though frozen with fear, not daring to utter a single word of complaint.

The fish-men outside might have been vicious monsters capable of slaughtering them.

But!

The one standing here was definitely no good man either.

If they angered him, the fish-men might not even need to make a move before blood was already flowing everywhere.

No villager dared to make another sound. They all stood silently where they were.

"Viper, take good care of her."

Luo Ze suddenly stood up, walked over to Monya, and placed Ellie in her arms.

Then he added another sentence.

"Oh, right. It's best not to touch the girl. Touching her through her clothes is fine, but if you touch her directly, you'll be in big trouble."

Monya did not understand what Luo Ze meant, but she still held Ellie carefully.

When she turned her gaze back, she found that Luo Ze had already turned and left.

She stared deeply at his retreating back, a trace of shock rising in her heart.

This man had heard that an army of fish-men was coming, yet he did not feel even the slightest fear?

"Alright. Since the prey has delivered itself to my doorstep, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

Luo Ze smiled faintly and drew the longsword from its sheath.

With the longsword in hand, Luo Ze's entire aura suddenly changed!

Though he looked exactly the same as before, the feeling he gave off was completely different.

If Luo Ze with his sword sheathed had been a sleeping tiger, then Luo Ze now was a frenzied beast.

Luo Ze held his longsword and casually swung it. Red light gathered along the blade, quickly forming into a slash that flew forth and cleaved down a large tree nearby.

The tip of his sword scraped against the ground with a sharp screech as Luo Ze calmly walked outside, finally stopping at the doorway.

"Since these fish-men are in such a hurry to come here and die, I'll send them on their way. Starting tomorrow, this village will return to your control. Congratulations. You are free."

Luo Ze's calm voice slowly fell.

The villagers' hearts trembled. Looking at Luo Ze's back ahead of them, they suddenly felt as though they could see hope.

For that brief instant, they truly felt the faintest trace of anticipation.

But freedom? Was such a thing even possible?

"Ruhahahahaha! Freedom? You're nothing but slaves worse than pigs and dogs! Humans, know your place!"

At that moment, a booming voice suddenly rang out. A piece of scrap metal flew toward Luo Ze from ahead, accompanied by a fish-man's laughter.

With a casual swing of his sword, Luo Ze cut the sheet of metal in two.

As the metal fell, an army of fish-men appeared before the villagers. There were many of them this time, around thirty or forty. Each fish-man was tall and powerfully built, gazing mockingly at Luo Ze and the villagers.

At the head of the fish-men stood a green fish-man wearing a hat and carrying a greatsword.

He was Capone, Kashal's trusted officer.

A few years ago, when the Kashal Pirates had still been operating in other waters of the South Blue, Capone's bounty had been eighty million Beli.

Though he had not appeared in other seas again over the past few years, his strength had grown increasingly terrifying. He was far stronger than he had been years ago; if he set sail again now, his bounty would definitely exceed eighty million.

"Ruhahahahaha! Human, you killed our companions, didn't you?"

Capone walked at the front of the fish-men. Looking at Luo Ze standing alone at the doorway, his eyes brimmed with killing intent as he laughed loudly.

"Have you decided how you want to die?"

The villagers' expressions changed at once, their faces turning deathly pale. They had not expected Luo Ze to have killed fish-men. No wonder these fish-men had come in such force.

But!

"Shave."

Luo Ze looked calmly at Capone ahead. He did not even have the interest to speak with him.

Against an opponent of this level, he only needed one exchange to kill him instantly.

The next second.

A strange sound suddenly rang out, and Luo Ze's figure vanished from where he stood.

"What speed!"

Capone's gaze abruptly narrowed. What was going on? A man who had been standing there had disappeared in an instant?

"How do you want to die?"

Before Capone could even blink, before the shocked thought in his mind had even faded, Luo Ze appeared beside them. A faint breeze brushed across Capone's cheek, and at the same time, an icy voice sounded by his ear.

"What?!"

A drop of cold sweat fell from Capone's forehead. How could this human be so fast?!

"I'll choose for you."

Luo Ze spoke calmly and suddenly slashed out with his sword. He had already asked Capone how he wanted to die, but unfortunately, this small fry did not know how to choose.

In that case, he would cut him into eight pieces.

Luo Ze swung his sword, quickly striking Capone's body. His blade was exceptionally sharp; the instant it touched Capone, it swiftly moved across his body.

Splat! Sizzle!

Another strange sound rang out.

Eight chunks of flesh quickly fell to the ground, blood splattering across the earth as the pungent stench of blood spread once more.

Afterward, even more disgusting things slowly spilled out.

Intestines, liver—

All of them were covered in blood, and some were still twitching.

Luo Ze stepped on those disgusting things.

At the same time, his icy voice rang out again.

"Have you decided how you want to die?"

As his words fell, everyone present shuddered.

The villagers stared at Luo Ze in disbelief. They had never expected this guy to truly possess the strength to kill Fish-Men.

But the Fish-Men were different.

Every Fish-Man looked at Luo Ze as though they had seen a ghost.

Capone was the strongest among them aside from Boss Kashal, yet even a Fish-Man like him had been cut down with a single slash.

Didn't that mean they were doomed as well?

The Fish-Men stared at Luo Ze in terror. After ruling Bock Town for so long, they had never imagined that one day, they too would be slaughtered by humans.

"Quick, notify Boss Kashal!"

Someone among the Fish-Men suddenly shouted.

Then, the Fish-Men snapped out of their fear.

As though their bloodlust had been stirred, they charged madly at Luo Ze.

But Luo Ze was overwhelmingly strong. Killing them was like butchering pigs and dogs—one slash per Fish-Man. Before long, the ground was covered in Fish-Man corpses.

Very quickly, Luo Ze had cut down all several dozen Fish-Men.

The Fish-Men had died miserably. Some had been chopped into pieces by Luo Ze, while others had been torn apart limb from limb.

However, Luo Ze still left one Fish-Man alive.

At that moment, the Fish-Man's face was covered in tears, while snot ran continuously from his nose.

He used a Den Den Mushi to contact Kashal.

Soon, a man's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"How is it? Have those human scum been dealt with?"

The Fish-Man choked back sobs as he spoke.

"Boss Kashal, save me!"
