I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 426 A scumbag with only five power
〖Island of real money and silver, rich country, suburbs——〗
On the ground in the wild, more than a dozen people were covered in blood from claw marks scratched by wild beasts. Some of them were covered with blood holes that were still bleeding. They were lying on the ground in a mess.
Broken swords and flintlock guns scattered on the ground.
The fire flickered and the smoke curled up.
In the thick smoke, there are two tall figures.
A majestic figure like a werewolf slowly shrank, and finally turned into a young man wearing white sleeves and black hexagrams.
The other one is also tall, more than 2.6 meters tall, but he looks round and round. Looking from a distance through the smoke, he looks like a giant egg standing tall instead of a human figure.
Gabra recovered from his werewolf appearance and returned to his human body. He glanced at the pirates on the ground and said indifferently: "It's so easy to fight, really! How dare these pirates enter the Grand Line with their level? No wonder that guy Lu Qi is too lazy to come along..."
"Six-style swimming skills and hand combination..."
Gabra turned around and saw his teammate, Otonashi Owl, who looked like a giant human egg, gesturing with both hands to the pirate in the pool of blood on the ground, "The power is only five..."
"There are only five. After all, they were almost beaten to death by us." Gabra nodded and suddenly cursed, "Liar! Is this how Handai tests his power?!"
Six-Style Game Skills and Hands... To put it bluntly, it is an auxiliary skill that uses an iron block to harden oneself, withstands the opponent's blow, and then determines the strength of the opponent's blow.
In Gabra's opinion, this move is purely a masochistic move. Among his companions, only Otonashi Owl has a soft spot for this move. Gabra often doubts this kid's hobby.
Otonashi Owl said nonchalantly: "Come on...they are so weak, it seems they are not pirates planning to rob the palace treasury."
"Hey!" Gabra warned, "Don't tell us our goals casually."
Otonashi Owl raised his hand to his mouth and quickly made a zipper movement.
"The superiors should not have allowed a seventeen-year-old rookie like you to participate in this operation..." Gabra said disgustedly.
The Otonashi owl made a zipper movement in front of its mouth again, reminding: "Lucci is one year younger than me."
"Why are you mentioning that guy..." Gabra thought of his sixteen-year-old companion Rob Lucci, and felt very angry, but he couldn't say anything like he had just disliked the owl.
Three years ago, Lu Qi was sent to a certain franchise country to solve the pirate incident. At that time, five hundred soldiers were defeated and captured, and the pirates used this to threaten the king. As a result, Lu Qi, who was only thirteen years old at the time, single-handedly entered the pirate den and first killed all the five hundred soldiers and hostages who were imprisoned. Then he completely let go and slaughtered all the pirates.
Today, three years later, Lu Qi's strength has only increased and there is no need to question it.
It’s just that the murderous intention is too serious!
Even Gabra, who ate the Dog Fruit and Wolf Form, sometimes feels that even if Lucci was not rewarded with the Cat Fruit and Leopard Form for the mission three years ago, the boy's innate desire for blood is still extremely strong. scary.
Lu Qi once said that the reason why he joined CP9 was simply because this department was the only one with the power to legally kill people.
Even ordinary civilians can be killed as long as they hinder their CP9 mission.
Gabra shook his head and asked: "Where is Bruno?"
I didn't hear a response for a long time. I turned around and saw Otonashi owl looking at him quietly with the corners of its mouth drawn.
Gabra was furious and shouted: "Don't shut your mouth now!"
"He should still be in town..." Otonashi Owl opened his zipper and said leisurely.
………………
The three of them left the restaurant.
To be honest, Lynch was not happy with this meal.
Mainly because I didn’t eat enough.
Lynch didn't want to default on the Overlord meal; but even if he and Robin could afford it, the restaurant wouldn't be able to distribute so many ingredients and food.
So Lynch could only regretfully rest half full. Finally, under the stunned gazes of the chef and the rest of the restaurant, he walked away with Robin and Rose who had already eaten, leaving the table in a mess.
The restaurant's plaque is cracked, which shows that the restaurant owner is also living a miserable life. It is estimated that he is not far from the situation of those people who swarmed up on the street to sell clothes before.
Judging from this situation of people's livelihood, I am afraid that it will not be long before this "Island of Real Money and Silver" is renamed as "Island of Broken Copper and Iron".
In a few years, the "rich country" will slowly be called a "poor country"...
Judging from the comparison of the buildings in the memory screen of "B.I.B", this is the place where Skeleton Brook was sacrificed by a group of believers as the evil **** Satan after he was knocked away by the big bear.
But that is something that will only happen in about twelve or thirteen years.
At this point in time, Skeleton Brook is still floating on a ghost ship in the thick fog in the Devil's Triangle, if nothing else.
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Qi heard someone on the street suddenly say in surprise:
"I'm getting wet!"
Lin Qi thought there was a flood or a fire somewhere. Just when he felt confused, he looked up and saw a group of businessmen-like people walking along the street. They led several strong men and women and carried several people. A large wooden barrel followed behind them. As they swayed as they walked, some colorless liquid sloshed out of the barrel they carried. Judging from the reactions of the residents on the street, it seemed that the barrels were filled with water.
As if they saw God coming, the residents rushed towards the merchants, raising their hands and shouting about "redemption water", "wealth water", "wealth water", "resurrection water"... A mess of words.
"What's going on over there?" Lin Qi held down a person who was also excitedly trying to rush over.
It's not that he didn't want to pull or pull, he was really tall, so he could only hold down the passerby's head with his hand.
The passers-by were a little unhappy when their heads were held down, but when they looked back, they calmed down and explained kindly: "It's the people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce who are giving out free water... Everyone said that drinking their water will make you wet. Once you get to the light, you will soon be rich again!”
"Did those who drank it become rich?" Lynch asked curiously.
The man shook his head, "No."
"You still drink when it's useless?"
"It's not that it's useless, it's that although I made money, it can't cover the debt I have to repay." The passerby wanted to be impatient, but he looked up and continued patiently, "In order to pay the annual heavenly gold, everyone If you can't get the money, you have to borrow money... There is no other way. Even after the king's treasury was robbed by pirates, he could only borrow money temporarily to make up for the shortfall in heavenly gold."
Whoever loses money cannot lose the money of Tianlong people. This is self-evident. The Tianlong people don't care if you are robbed by pirates or whatever. If you are short of the heavenly gold you have to pay every year, as a franchise country, it is very bad.
"This process sounds familiar..." Lynch pondered, and finally asked, "Who are you borrowing from?"
"Of course it's the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce." A passerby said matter-of-factly, "They are one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Grand Line. Of course I borrow money from them..."
As soon as Lin Qi's big hand was released, passers-by quickly ran away, squeezed into the crowd, and shouted loudly to beg for a bowl of water.
Lin Qi even saw that there were people wearing soldier uniforms who actually put down their work and joined the chaotic crowd to grab the water distributed by people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce.
"The treasury was robbed, unable to pay the heavenly gold and take out loans, and then charged higher taxes to the people. The people were overwhelmed and had no choice but to take out loans..." Robin walked to Lin Qi's side and looked at the turbulent struggle over there. The crowd grabbing the "wealth water" said softly, "The country of Igor, which the old man guarded alone before, gradually fell into ruin like this. In the end, he was unable to hand over the gold from the sky and angered the world government. He was stripped of his status as a franchise country. Then, the entire island was destroyed by pirates, and the people fled overseas..."
There were too many people, and the water was quickly ran out. The businessman from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce loudly shouted: "This month's charity water has been distributed today!"
The people of the "rich country" holding bowls or cups were greatly disappointed. One man in patched clothes even cried in despair.
