Meanwhile at the other end of the town.
Wallace, Dafne and Lenny arrived at the port warehouse and saw that the building was heavily guarded by some marines, but they were not alone, some residents were also there talking to the marines.
Lenny: Dafne, Wallace, how are we going to proceed?
Dafne: I think I can take out the guards from a distance with my babies.
Wallace: But Dia wanted us to catch them alive and that we bring them later to the city center together with the drugs.
Dafne: I could shoot them in their legs? But I don't know if they'll still be able to use their legs afterwards.
Lenny: You shoot at their legs while me and Wallace distract them with a fight.
Dafne: I see an alarm tower over there that's unoccupied, I'll sneak in there and you two will attack them when I fire my first shot.
Wallace: I've never done anything like this before, I'm pretty nervous.
Lenny: Just imagine that these soldiers are spiders who want to be squashed.
Dafne: I'll go to the tower to shoot a few spider legs, at my signal we'll start!
Wallace: Got it.
Dafne went into the alarm tower and got a good firing position, about 50 m from the guards. She aimed Ebony at the leg of the Marine furthest away from her, she exhaled and BOOM!
Marine: AHHHHHHH, MY LEG WAS HIT!!
The soldier fell with his body on the ground and saw his leg lying next to him. A fountain of blood sprayed into the area and the other guards were alerted and tried to locate the shooter. BOOM!
Another soldier lay on the ground.
Criminal resident: The shot came from the alarm tower, take cover!
At that moment Wallace and Lenny came running towards the soldiers. Lenny had received a new weapon from me and was now trying it out for the first time. He threw the ax in his right hand at the legs of one of the soldiers. The soldier lost his legs and his stumps froze when he landed on the ground and he could no longer move from the spot.
The ax then flew back into Lenny's hand, who started to jump. Lenny caught the ax in the air and slammed it onto the ground in front of the soldiers and a wave of ice froze the entire ground where the remaining criminals and marines were.
Marine: The ax must have some devil fruit power, I can't get my legs off the ground!
Wallace and Lenny stopped because they were both impressed by the power of the axe.
Lenny: Shit, the Leviathan Ax is the killer! If I had had this ax on my island, I wouldn't have had to fear for my life, I would have wiped out all the spiders in a week.
More Marines came running out of the warehouse and pointed their guns at Lenny and fired. Wallace ran at them with his dagger and knocked out two of them while Dafne shot one of their legs off again. Lenny raised his left hand in front of him and Kratos stone wall shield formed in front of him, blocking all bullets.
The shield is made of vibranium after I modified it and has some runes engraved on it and can transform into all 5 of Kratos shields. After devaluing the bullets, Lenny changed the shield to the charge shield and ran towards the remaining soldiers, he held the shield in front of him as he ran and then slammed it into the ground in front of the remaining soldiers, which triggered a blast wave that sent all the remaining marines flying hurled and thrown from their shelters. Afterwards Dafne shot their legs and everyone whined for their lives.
Wallace: That was easier than I thought.
Lenny: You go to the warehouse and look for the drugs, I'll collect this scum and get them ready for transport.
Wallace: Freeze their bleeding with your axe, we don't want them to bleed to death before they get to our captain.
Marine: Why are you attacking us?
Lenny: Because we want to take your drugs away from you, you corrupt bastards!
Wallace entered the warehouse and felt pain in his chest and when he looked down he discovered that a Marine had stabbed a bayonet into his chest. Wallace pressed the button on his dagger and turned back time for a few seconds and was now back in front of the warehouse door. He checked his chest, but there was no wound left.
Wallace: Lenny, come to me quickly! There is another soldier in the warehouse who just rammed his bayonet into my chest.
Lenny: He stuck a bayonet in your chest?
Wallace: I used the dagger, the sand became less and I jumped back in time.
Lenny: So the dagger works like Dia said?
Wallace: Yes, but it wasn't a nice feeling testing it for the first time.
Lenny took his Leviathan ax and struck the wall of the warehouse hitting the last Marine soldier.
Lenny: Now he's dead, get the drugs.
Wallace: Thanks for your help.
Wallace entered the warehouse and searched all the boxes and barrels for drugs and then brought them to the door.
Dafne: That's a lot of drugs, how do we transport them all?
Lenny: I'll get us an ox cart, I've seen a few of them around town.
The three got a cart and took the drugs and the soldiers to the city center, where they saw the nobles already lying on the ground. After a few moments, Cornelius and I also arrived and had another nobleman with us.
Dia: You're already there, that was quick!
Lenny: We only had small problems, the Marine soldiers were all weaklings.
The people of the city looked in disbelief at the severed body parts of the Marine soldiers.
Dia: So let's get to today's main event! We are all gathered here today to prosecute these people for their crimes.
These three nobles accused a doctor in your city of killing your elder, and it was these three nobles who killed him with a poison that could only be mixed by one of them. I have here in my hand evidence that supports this claim. Over all the years you treated Cornelius like dirt, Cornelius collected exactly this evidence so that he could prove his mother's innocence.
People came to me and went through the records and were horrified.
Citizen: She's right, the three must have killed him!
Nobleman: Don't listen to this woman, she wants to trick you all and then plunder our city!
Dia: These three killed the elder because he opposed the expansion of your port, but they needed the port to use it to smuggle drugs in collaboration with the Navy, so their opposition had to die. My team brought the drugs and their accomplices to us from the port.
I opened one of the boxes and everyone saw tons of cocaine in them.
Citizen: She's right, my son died of an overdose a year ago, so it's those nobles' fault that he got his hands on this poison!
I walked around the area and placed iron rods in the ground of the city center that were about 3 m tall.
Dia: So these people are guilty of murder, they committed high treason against your city and illegally traded drugs!
When I found them, one of them was having sexual contact with two underage slaves, so I would leave his punishment to the two girls. Does everyone agree with this?
Neither said a word and the two girls stepped forward and looked into their tormentor's face with a smile. I gave them a knife and they could then have fun with him.
Noble: Please have mercy.
Girl: Did you have mercy when you raped and murdered our mother? Did you have mercy on us when we begged you not to rape us every night or when we were in pain when you beat us and we couldn't move our bodies because of the pain?
I turned my gaze to the other people.
Dia: The punishment for treason is death in your city, I will now make an example of these bastards.
I grabbed the first marine by the collar and threw him into the air and he was impaled by one of the iron rods. His blood flowed to the ground and he couldn't scream because his lung was pierced by the iron rod. The others involved panicked and cried for their lives, but I ignored their screams and continued until only the nobles remained.
Some townspeople vomited at the sight of the impaled soldiers and some couldn't bear the sight and closed their eyes.
I grabbed the two nobles and slowly pulled them towards their rods.
Noble: We'll give you anything you want, just spare our lives. Killing us is a big mistake, our partners will then hunt you down and kill you!
Dia: I'm a pirate, do you think I'm afraid of death?
I threw both of them into the air and their screams stopped after a few seconds.
I looked at the two girls and saw their tormentor lying in pieces on the ground. I went to them and took the knives from their hands and put my hand on their shoulders.
Dia: We will get you both out of this city, we don't want you to be punished for your actions.
Girl: Thank you, thank you for freeing us and allowing us to avenge our mother.
Dia: If the Navy comes and sees this, tell them the Bloody Diamonds were here and will treat all other corrupt Marines the same way. Guys, let's get out of here, take the two girls with us and Cornelius burn the drugs!
Cornelius: To your command, Captain!
Cornelius swallowed one of his pills and hit the cart. The cart lit up with a bright light and melted into a charred mass.
We all went back to the ship, but when we arrived at the harbor, Dolfo was already there waiting for us.
Dolfo: I've stayed out of everything and will try to talk to the Navy. Of course I will have to tell them your names and will put all the blame on you, but you have my thanks for everything you have done for this town.
Dolfo bowed to us.
Dolfo: I wish you all the best with your new family, Cornelius. And you, take good care of him, he has his little quirks.
Dia: He's in good hands by me.
Cornelius: Bye uncle and maybe we'll see each other again some day.
Dolfo: Hopefully you become a strong man, that would increase the chances of that and now disappear.
Dolfo cried and went back to the city.
"Ohhhhh, the old geezer really loves you, little Cornelius," I said in a mocking tone as I patted Cornelius on his shoulder.
Cornelius: Bye, you repentant bitch of a city, lick my clover-covered ass! Let's get going before she bites me in the leg and I can't get out of here anymore.
We paddled out to the ship and were greeted by Jack and the kids.
Oliver: They're back!
Coni: Are you all okay?
Jack: Who are the two girls?
Dia: The two girls will accompany us for a while.
Terra: By the way, our names are Terra and Bibi. Bibi is 12 years old and I am 14 years old and we are sisters.
Coni: Nice to meet you, do you want to sleep by me in my room tonight?
Bibi: We don't want to cause you any trouble, we'll just sleep up here on the deck.
Coni looked at the two of them and pulled them below deck by their arms and went with them to her room.
Dia: I'll fly to the city again and set up one of my shops on the outskirts of the city and you can show Cornelius his room and cook some food for us and show the girls the bathroom, they still have blood everywhere on them. Jack will drive the ship away from here as soon as I get back and tomorrow we'll figure out how to get to the Grand Line.
All: Aye Captain.

Author: Sorry for no chapter over the last few days, but I'll try to make up for it. Unfortunately I've been very busy and didn't have time to write, but thanks for the great support. I'm writing this story for fun and will definitely continue it for a long time. If you have suggestions for improving the story, write them in the comments. I will respond to the suggestions and include them in the story if I like them. I write everything freely, so I can afford changes, I would even revise entire chapters if someone comes up with a good idea. I follow a very thin guiding thread with a few side notes and background.
