The Men of Loguetown
Kuzan was taken aback.
Then, his eyes narrowed.
For the next three days, everyone had a very relaxed work schedule.
But Xia Le clearly observed that the number of people arriving in Loguetown was skyrocketing. In just three days, the Harbor was already full of ships.
People from all walks of life filled the small town to capacity.
The hundreds of streets were packed with people. Even with Domain that covered the entire island, it was impossible to carefully identify each person's face and identity.
Because there were too many people, Xia Le's brain couldn't handle the surge of information coming at the same time.
He could only narrow the scope of the attack, concentrating it within about one kilometer of the cell where Roger was imprisoned.
"No wonder so many Pirate showed up in this Town when Roger was executed."
"With the navy's limited manpower, it's simply impossible for them to handle everything; they can only maintain a roughly calm situation."
"The best outcome is that no one caused trouble."
Xia Le sighed.
On this day, he and his squad did not notice anything unusual and spent a peaceful day. However, several fights broke out on the outskirts of Loguetown, which made the Navy nervous, but they were eventually quelled.
Xia Le observed the entire incident from the Domain.
His eyes narrowed slightly; from this simple disturbance, he had already deduced that the navy's forces in Loguetown were severely insufficient.
Even the troublemakers were not arrested; they were simply given a brief warning and then allowed to escape.
The sixth day, which is the day before the execution begins.
The entire team relaxed.
"Once the executions are over tomorrow, we can return to headquarters."
"It's been six days, nothing else should happen."
Kuzan casually.
Borsalino smiled slightly, holding a cup of hot tea in his hands.
Sakazuki remained expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
"I think the exact opposite; this day will be our busiest!"
Xia Le sighed softly.
In his mind, he could already see a group of mysterious people, completely covered in clothes and hats, their faces obscured, quietly entering a radius of one kilometer.
"Just kill him!"
"If we kill Roger, we will become famous throughout the world!"
"If the Pirate King dies at our hands, we will dominate the world's news tomorrow."
How many billions will the bounty grow to?
"If a person lives a lifetime and can remain in history and in the eyes of the world for even a second, that is of immense value!"
Words tinged with a hint of madness, excitement, and exhilaration echoed through the quiet alley.
"Captain Ryan, I've scouted this route and the naval defenses there are far fewer than on other routes."
"As long as we get close to Roger, kill him, and then escape safely."
"We will become the most famous Pirate crew of the next era!"
Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out.
"Thief, hahaha!"
"You're right."
"Life is a constant series of adventures and gambles; to reach the top, you have to risk your life."
"We Pirate at the very bottom don't have many avenues for advancement."
The Pirate known as Ryan sneered.
"Charge in, guys!"
"Fame, status, and money are all waiting for us!"
A group of people started running quickly through the alley.
As the Pirate had said, this route indeed had the least defensive presence; they hadn't even seen any Marines along the way.
In the Temporary Base of Xia Le's team, Xia Le slowly stood up.
"Sakazuki!"
Sakazuki, wearing a navy cap, looked up, his face cold.
"Street 54."
Xia Le.
Sakazuki was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant, nodded, turned around, and strode away.
"Kuzan, 86th Street."
Xia Le.
Borsalino, 43rd Street.
"Bullet, number 52."
"Crocodile, number 102."
"Evens, Rosinante, number 93."
The assignment was made to six streets in a row. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and their expressions became tense and serious.
"This world has never lacked bold and courageous people."
"They had kept their restless hearts in check for the first five days, but today, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore!"
With a soft laugh, Xia Le said, as Lightning crackled around his body.
"Is someone planning to Shockwave this place?"
Kuzan exclaimed in surprise.
"Killing Roger would calm down the restless hearts of Pirate all over World Government world."
"It also has a stabilizing effect on the overall world situation."
"But the alliance and identity have shifted."
Xia Le paused for a moment, then grinned.
"If it were Pirate, some lucky ones who succeed would gain fame and status."
Upon Wen Yan, everyone present understood, turned around, and quickly left, heading towards their target neighborhood.
Xia Le, on the other hand, stepped out of the room.
He first shifted his gaze, then slowly raised his right hand, pointing it at 45th Street.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Dense blue arcs of electricity suddenly flashed up and burst forth in an instant.
"200 Million Volts, Divine Punishment!"
A dazzling Thunder Pillar instantly filled 45th Street, illuminating the quiet, dark alleyway as it swiftly wound its way forward.
About a hundredth of a breath later, he crashed into the six-person squad that was stealthily moving around, their faces contorted with madness.
"Boom!"
A dazzling flash of Lightning enveloped the six people.
The next second, screams rang out, and the smell of burning filled the air.
At the same time, a flash of Lightning appeared on Xia Le's body, and his figure disappeared.
Chapter 80 The Men of Loguetown
Inside Street 178.
Ryan ran ahead, his face flushed with excitement and madness, with his crew close behind.
In reality, they were well aware that they weren't the only ones willing to take the risk. Many Pirate shared this idea: to defeat the Pirate King and enhance their own reputation and status.
Among the countless Pirate, their ambitions and dreams are naturally diverse and varied.
But it's all about fame, status, and money!
As for ONE PEICE, that's something a man destined to become the Pirate King should do.
"If it succeeds!"
Ryan's heart pounded, and he was already imagining the future after his success.
Suddenly, Lightning flashed in the dark street ahead.
"Sizzle!"
A figure surrounded by Lightning suddenly appeared, and this unexpected scene caused the entire team to stop abruptly.
"Embracing ideals and ambitions is a good thing."
"But if you misjudge the path you should take and overestimate your own abilities, it will become the biggest obstacle to survival!"
Xia Le floated in the air, his body crackling with electric arcs, and spoke softly.
"Navy?!!"
Ryan's pupils contracted.
But in an instant, he shouted, "Kill him!"
From the moment he begins his actions today, he has already made all the necessary decisions.
Anyone who stands in your way must be killed.
As the shout rang out, the crew members behind him rushed out instantly, drew their long swords from their waists, and swung them at Xia Le with ferocious expressions.
The latter didn't even blink, nor did it make any dodging motion.
The next second, the long sword sliced through his body, sending up several flashes of Lightning.
The Pirate landed, his face filled with terror.
"Boss, he's a Logia Fruit user!"
Xia Le then slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and slowly pointed forward.
However, the direction he pointed was not towards the person who had just attacked.
Just as the Pirate were wondering what was going on, Xia Le suddenly disappeared from their sight.
"It's not just the Logia."
Xia Le said calmly.
His right hand pointed forward, directly at the brow of the Pirate who had drawn his sword.
"How is that possible?!"
"That's too fast!"
Ryan's pupils contracted, and his whole body trembled.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the Pirate's fingertips flash with light, and then suddenly shoot out.
A winding Lightning pierced through the forehead of the sword-wielding Pirate.
"Roger is not someone your lackeys can get close to."
Xia Le turned her head and looked at Ryan.
