The pirate's eyes flickered; although the current situation seemed like they were surrounding others, the actual scenario was that the man standing before them surrounded them all.
"What... what to do now?" A man asked tremblingly.
"Me, what would I know!" Another man was sweating profusely.
"Should we run?" A man with an axe wiped his sweat and cautiously proposed.
"Great idea!" The others' eyes lit up, and one by one, they moved their legs, preparing to flee.
Bang bang bang...
Three more shots rang out in a row, and three men fell to the ground. It was the three men who wanted to escape, including the man with the axe who had proposed the idea.
Ron blew the smoke from the muzzle of his pistol and said indifferently, "If you dare to run, I will kill you!"
"Please, spare my life!" A strong-looking man couldn't resist the pressure and quickly knelt down, prostrating his head and begging for forgiveness.
"Please, please spare our lives! We... we only obeyed the captain's orders to do such things, please let us go!" The others fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Even the fiercest of pirates who lived life on the edge would be scared when their lives were in danger, let alone just this small group of pirates.
Ron glanced at them. "Take me to where your pirate ship is. Hand over all the treasures to me, or I'll kill you all!"
Listening to Ron's cold tone, all the pirates shivered and immediately nodded their heads wildly. "Okay, okay, no problem! We have money on the ship. We'll hand over the treasure to you. Just let us live!"
"good!" Ron turned and looked at the girls.
The girls all smiled.
Nami said, "Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, if they hurt Kaya and Marianne, I don't know how I'd explain it to you!"
"Hmm, they want to hurt me? No way!" Marianne looked up proudly.
"But they might hurt Kaya!" Nami nodded towards Kaya and said, "Kaya is just a doctor. She has no power!"
"Oh!" Marianne looked at Kaya and nodded, "I will find a way to protect Sister Kaya!"
"Thank you!" Kaya looked at Marianne gently and said gratefully.
"No problem!" Marianne also showed a smile at the corner of her mouth. Although she wasn't good at expressing her feelings, it was evident that she was happy now.
"I'm sorry!" Vivi and Tashigi came to Ron and said with some embarrassment, "The two of us were a little careless. They seized the opportunity and took them as hostages..."
"It's all right you two!" Seeing the guilt on their faces, Kaya immediately walked over, took their hands, and said, "At that time, you still had to take care of Nami and Apis. With so many people, you couldn't handle them all. I was a little frightened at the time, and I didn't hide behind you in time. It was my fault!"
"Oh, don't apologize again!" Ron smiled and said, "With the strength of both of you, you could have gone all out. They couldn't hold out for long anyway. You two are too kind and soft-hearted, so because of this they took the opportunity!"
The actual situation was exactly like this. With the strength of Tashigi's current swordsmanship mastery, even if the opposing person is a master of marksmanship, there's no way they could defeat her. Plus Vivi who has strong attack power, they wouldn't have been caught off guard with Kaya and Marianne being captured. It must be said that the two of them showed mercy.
"Hmm!" Both girls bowed their heads and confessed their mistakes, promising never to show mercy to their enemies next time. Otherwise, they might truly endanger the others, and it would be too late for regrets.
"Then, the next step is to carry the treasure!" Ron turned to look at Nami, this is your favorite thing. Let's go and count how much money you have!"
"Rest assured!" When it came to the treasure, Nami's eyes lit up. "I will definitely take all their treasures. Let's go!"
The group led by Ron escorted a dozen men toward the docks of Jaya Island. They came to a medium-sized pirate ship, and under Ron's threat, the dozen pirate fledglings reluctantly moved the treasures from the cabin.
Nami's eyes blazed with golden light as she began to count the treasure. After some counting, she cried out in surprise, "So much! The treasure here is worth at least fifty million Berries! Oh my God, we're rich!"
"Fifty million Berries!" Vivi also sighed. "That's a huge amount of money. It seems that they haven't been up to any good deeds!"
"It seems we've done a good deed. Ron killed their leader, and we've taken their treasures. I think they might disband in the future, right?" Nojiko said with a big smile.
Ron listened, smiled, turned to the remaining pirates of the pirate group, and said, "You will disband later. If I see you at sea again, I will kill you!"
With those words, Ron touched the long sword around his waist, and with a flash, he sliced the pirate ship in half.
"!!!"
The dozen or so strong men who had luckily escaped with their lives saw this and one by one, they were frightened and felt weak, collapsing to the ground. They stared at the slowly sinking pirate ship with stunned eyes, their minds blank.
What kind of enemy had they provoked?
Ron took the girls and carried the five chests of treasure back to the Merry, then reluctantly accompanied the girls to continue shopping.
Alas! In the end, he couldn't escape the fate of shopping!
"Brother Ron, this pistol is very beautiful!" Beside Ron, Kaya had been holding onto his arm, feeling most secure by his side. Seeing Ron holding a golden pistol, she remembered that it was the pistol owned by the captain of the Ghost Devil Pirates.
"This is the guy's pistol from earlier. Although the guy isn't very good and his marksmanship is garbage, this pistol is indeed a good thing. I temporarily accepted to use it as a toy!" Ron played with the pistol in his hand and smiled.
He felt that the other party's marksmanship might be up to more than ten levels. To a large extent, the other party's marksmanship bonuses came from this pistol. The value of this pistol was no worse than the Sandai Kitetsu on Ron's waist, or even higher. The technical craftsmanship on this pistol could be said to be top-tier in the world.
Dare that guy be so arrogant? His confidence definitely stemmed from this pistol!
Robin walked over to Ron, looked at the pistol, was silent for a moment, seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "I want to get familiar with the inscriptions on this pistol."
"Huh? Sister Robin, do you know the origin of this pistol?" Kaya asked curiously.
"Captain Ron is a swordsman, and he should know that in this world, the rank of famous swords are strictly divided!" Robin said. "Although the division of firearms isn't so strict, there are some famous firearms that are passed down in the world."
"The pistol in Captain Ron's hand, from the pattern, seems to be produced by a very famous firearms factory under the Celestial dragons, and it's also a limited production top pistol. Look at the pattern above the gun's body, with a dragon-shaped appearance, which represents a firearm that only the world's nobles can wear."
"it signifies power" Robin said while pointing to the body of the golden pistol in Ron's hand.
Ron looked down, and sure enough, he saw a dragon-shaped pattern. He couldn't help but laugh. "So it's a pistol carried by the celestial dragons. Those wastes have no combat effectiveness and can only increase their attack power through this kind of pistol. But it seems that they've always been protected by the bodyguards around them, right?"
"Celestial dragons carry pistols, not for protection!" Robin said solemnly.
"The pistols on them are basically used to execute slaves. As Captain Ron said, their safety doesn't have to be worried about. The World Government and the Marines are always protecting them. If anyone dares to attack the celestial dragons, it will attract the agents of the World Government at any time, as well as the admirals' attacks. Every Celestial dragon has the most powerful secret department of the World Government protecting them: CP0!"
"Oh well..." Ron smiled lightly. "they're just some garbage. Let's not mention them for the time being. Let's not spoil our mood for shopping. I hope there won't be any Celestial dragons provoking me in the future. Otherwise... I don't care what CP0 they have, or what they do with the three admirals!"
