Although Ellie's strength had improved somewhat, she was still only at the level of a pawn. Luo Ze did not feel at ease bringing her along in battle. If some pirates harbored ill intentions when the time came, that would be troublesome.

After settling Ellie down, Luo Ze quickly walked out of the restaurant.

He had already observed the restaurant earlier. Most of the people inside were local residents, and there was no one suspicious.

Moreover, he was now standing outside the restaurant. If a fight broke out later, it would be nearby, so it was unlikely that anyone would go inside to harm Ellie.

He stood there and waited for the pirates to arrive. With Ellie settled, he had no worries and feared none of these pirates.

He had just spent several hundred million Beli, and had little savings left on him. These pirates had conveniently come to offer themselves up, so Luo Ze planned to kill them and take their treasure while he was at it.

Besides, Kid had to die as well. That was a mission issued by the system.

A short while later, the pirates arrived outside the restaurant one after another.

Seeing Luo Ze standing there waiting, the pirates were rather delighted.

It seemed that this fool had not chosen to flee the island at the first opportunity. If he had quickly escaped out to sea, killing him really would have taken some effort. But now, things were much simpler.

"Heh heh! Killing Sword Luo Ze, hand over the demon blade Snow Joy obediently, or you will surely die today."

A pirate crew approached Luo Ze with weapons in hand. The pirate captain at the front wore a smug expression as he sneered and threatened Luo Ze.

But Luo Ze paid no attention at all to such a boring threat.

He instantly drew the longsword from its scabbard. The moment the blade was unsheathed, a clear ringing sound echoed out, and Luo Ze's aura suddenly turned fierce.

"Trying to resist? You really can't see the situation clearly. Since that's the case, go die."

Seeing Luo Ze draw his sword, the pirate captain's face showed a trace of disdain. He admitted that Luo Ze was far stronger than him in a one-on-one fight, but they had numbers!

Besides, Luo Ze's bounty was only a hundred million Beli, while their entire pirate crew's combined bounties amounted to two or three hundred million.

Shave.

Luo Ze's expression was cold as he could not be bothered to waste words on such a character. He stomped the ground, his whole body jolting sharply as he instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished from where he stood.

"So fast!"

The pirates were greatly alarmed. They watched their surroundings solemnly, trying to guard against Luo Ze's sneak attack.

But Luo Ze was still too fast.

His Agility was as high as 500 points, and the speed of Shave was incomparably swift. Before those pirates could fully enter a state of alert, Luo Ze was already in front of them.

Then, facing those pirates, Luo Ze's gaze remained calm. He raised the steel sword in his hand high and fiercely slashed down at them.

His sword was incredibly fast as well. The pirates had only just realized that Luo Ze had appeared before them when his sword had already arrived.

Clang!

Luo Ze's sword soon struck the pirates' blades, producing an intense crash. But the force behind his strike was immense, like Mount Tai pressing down from above. It was as if a whirlwind clung to his steel sword, granting it boundless power.

Their weapons held against each other for only an instant before that pirate's longsword was sliced apart by Luo Ze as easily as a crispy noodle.

The next second.

The steel sword cut straight down from above, splitting through the pirate's head.

The pirate did not even manage to make a sound. Like slicing a watermelon, Luo Ze directly cut him into two halves.

"Captain!"

The pirates were instantly horrified, their gazes toward Luo Ze filled with fear.

Their captain was a pirate with a bounty of seventy million Beli. He could even exchange a few moves with someone like Kid, the overlord of South Blue, yet against Luo Ze, he had been cut in half in a single exchange?

This completely defied logic!

"How is this possible?!"

The pirates screamed in disbelief, nearly losing their minds.

"Frogs at the bottom of a well. Go repent in hell."

Luo Ze gave them no chance to keep living. After speaking indifferently, he flicked his longsword, flinging several drops of the pirate captain's blood from the steel blade into their eyes, instantly blurring their vision.

Then, with a horizontal sweep, Luo Ze instantly ended the remaining pirates' lives.

Plop, plop!

The corpses fell to the ground, scarlet blood flowing endlessly as organs and brains spilled out.

But Luo Ze was not someone afraid of getting dirty. He had seen far too much of this bloody sight and felt nothing about it. He reached into the pirates' clothes and searched them, quickly finding a large amount of Beli.

He did not need to count it himself. He directly used the system to absorb it, and soon, several tens of millions of Beli had been added to his savings.

Luo Ze did not put away the steel sword in his hand. Instead, he quietly stood where he was and waited.

This was the middle of the street, after all, where there were many people. Many passersby had just witnessed him slaughtering the pirates, causing quite a stir.

Therefore, he only needed to wait here, and those consumed by greed would naturally come to seek their deaths.

Sure enough, only a few minutes later, a large number of pirates arrived one after another.

Naturally, Luo Ze showed no mercy. He killed one when he saw one, and killed a pair when he saw two.

Until the moment they died, many pirates never understood why they had suddenly lost their lives.

Because Luo Ze was incredibly fast, many of those idiot pirates had barely approached before he sliced them straight into chunks of flesh.

Only one or two stronger ones could last a move or half a move against Luo Ze, but in the end, they too could not escape becoming corpses.

Thus, in merely five or six minutes, the entire street had practically been flooded with blood. Dozens of corpses lay scattered messily across the ground, a terrifying sight.

The merchants who had been doing business on the street had long since fled back to their homes. With a madman like Luo Ze here, this street was practically hell itself. Anyone who stayed would definitely die.

"Killing Sword Luo Ze! We finally found you!"

A few more minutes passed, and Luo Ze absorbed all the Beli from the corpses.

He had only just stopped when a familiar voice rang out beside him.

Luo Ze turned around and saw Kid, with his red spiky hair, leading the others toward him with weapons in hand, looking utterly menacing.

Luo Ze's face immediately broke into a smile.

It seemed that the 500 Swordmaster upgrade points were finally his.
