Observing the pirate ship gradually moving away, the navy soldiers on the wreckage of the warship were horrified.
"That... that skull flag..."
"That skull has a sword in it, with a rose wrapped around it. What kind of pirate is this? How can they be so powerful?"
The navy soldiers on the wreckage of the warship watched in horror as the Going Merry departed.
Meanwhile, on the Going Merry.
"That... that sword... It's incredible!" Tashigi looked at Ron, who stood with his sword, in shock. She struggled to find words to describe the amazing sight she had just witnessed. The sword had come down, and the warship had already split apart, and it sank—it was terrifying!
"This... Is this the strength of the pirate with a bounty of thirty million Baileys?" Nami gazed at Ron's back in amazement. "It's incredible!"
"Brother Ron... Indeed, he's the most powerful!" Kaya thought adoringly, looking at Ron's back.
Ron's expression remained unchanged as he stood at the bow of the ship. The sword strength he used just now was truly nothing for him. If a small warship could make him go all out, it would be too cheap. The strength he exerted with that sword was only about thirty percent of his full power.
"Alright, let's get the ship moving!" Ron waved his hand, urging the shocked girls to start sailing.
"Okay!" Tashigi and Nami snapped out of their daze and immediately accelerated the ship towards Windmill Village.
Back on the destroyed navy warship, the furious captain with a Den Den Mushi shouted, "Reinforcements, hurry up! We've encountered an attack by powerful pirates. Hurry to our aid. Yes, it's the pirate with a bounty of thirty million Baileys!"
At the East Blue Navy Headquarters, Smoker's eyes narrowed. "Thirty million Baileys pirates? That's him. Tashigi rest assured, I will definitely rescue you!"
A dozen warships sailed out from the East Blue Navy Base headquarters and headed forward, searching for Ron's Pirate crew.
Meanwhile, Ron sailed the Going Merry to the island where Windmill Village was located.
"Windmill Village, I'm back!"
Ron smiled, observing the dock not far away. The Going Merry approached the dock, and in a short while, it was secured.
"Wait for me here. I'll be back in a minute!" Ron's mouth revealed a mysterious smile. "Remember to be ready to sail!"
"Huh? Sail? Nami was puzzled, not quite understanding what Ron meant.
Did Ron need to sail away?
At least in the East Blue, it wasn't necessary. But what did he mean by running?
He came to plunder, and how could he plunder without escaping?
Ron leaped off the ship, landing on the dock. With a step unrecognizable to those who knew him, he strolled toward the small Village. His destination was the hotel where Makino was staying.
Currently, Makino is single, with no family or relatives. The people she knows best are the villagers, as well as Luffy and Red-haired Shanks.
Ron entered the bar, a strange smile on his face, and walked straight to the bar.
At the bar, Makino was busy preparing drinks. The bar had been doing well lately.
"Huh?" Makino looked up and saw Ron. "Hello, Mr. Ron!"
She laughed, "Long time no see. Why are you here? Your bounty has increased; be careful of the navy hunting you!"
"Haha, Miss Makino, don't worry about these little things!" Ron smiled, stepped over to Makino, and said, "I want to ask, are you interested in venturing into the ocean?"
"Huh?" Makino looked at Ron a little inexplicably, not understanding what he meant. Her pretty face showed a look of doubt, making her look even more attractive.
"Hey, hurry up and give me a beer!" A strong-looking man in the bar shouted boisterously, giving Makino a nasty look. He angrily scolded, "Are you still doing business? Looking for death?" (E/D: yes I know it's very cringe but please enjoy the little cringiness)
"Looking for death?" Ron glanced at him, his expression a little cold.
"Sorry! The beer will be coming up!" Makino replied and immediately turned to prepare the beer.
"he doesn't need it!" Ron shook his head, "He can't drink anymore!"
"Huh?" Makino looked at Ron puzzled.
Ron reached out and held his sword's handle, and the strong-looking man's body not far away fell to the ground, while his head already rolling around.
After Ron's mastery of the sword drawing technique, unless someone was at the level of a warlord or above, others couldn't see his movements.
"Huh? Mr. Ron, you!" Makino looked at Ron in surprise. She sensed that the death of the strong man was somehow connected to Ron, but the speed of the sword drawing technique was too fast for her to see Ron's actions.
"Ah, run!"
"He's dead!"
"Escape!"
The bar guests fled for their lives, and the bar descended into chaos.
"Mr. Ron!" Makino pouted in chagrin, "What are you doing? It's affecting my business!"
Ron looked at Makino's cute expression, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Makino, I want you to go to sea with me."
"Go to sea?" Makino shook her head, "I'm sorry, I want to live a stable life. I don't want to go to sea!"
"Oh, so you really want to go to sea with me? That's great!" Ron said happily, "I'll take you now!"
"Huh?" Makino was stunned, not understanding. I said I don't want to go to sea; I want a stable life. How do you...
Ron moved and came to Makino's side, reaching out to hug her soft and delicate body. He resisted her protests and ran out of the bar, heading toward the dock—a classic scene of a mountain Bandit kidnapping the mayor's daughter.
"Hey, Mr. Ron, what are you doing? Let me down! I don't want to go; I'm not going to the sea... Let me down!" Makino was furious, slapping Ron's back to no avail.
"Whew..."
Ron carried Makino to the ship, put her down, and before Makino could speak, he immediately ordered Tashigi and Nami in front of him, along with a dazed Kaya, "Hurry up and start the boat! Evil criminals are chasing us, and it'll be too late to run if they catch up! The enemy is too strong, and I'm not their opponent!"
Listening to Ron's words, a mix of nonsense and urgency, Tashigi and Nami couldn't discern the truth. They sailed away in fright.
Looking at Windmill Village in the distance, Makino was confused. Her mind was still a mess. Was she abducted by a pirate ship? What the hell is going on?
