Bang, bang, bang!
Tils screamed at the top of his lungs, swinging his hammer frantically with the intent to smash it down towards Skyler from all angles.
However, Skyler was as steady as a monolith; no matter how the giant hammer attacked, he always casually blocked it with a single slash…
Tils was panting heavily, his legs already unsteady, unable to understand how the seemingly frail Skyler could possess such abnormal physical strength.
In the brief gap when the attacks stopped, a flash of blade light sliced diagonally across Tils’s face, not harming him, but cutting the weapon in his hand into two pieces.
“I’ll talk!
I’ll talk!”
“Skyler, our pirate ship has already been destroyed by the Marine.
All the valuable treasures were on it, and I only ran out with the remaining cash.
After coming to Long Whale Island, I was targeted by Monde…
That guy threatened me, and in order to just barely survive, I had to take out my last savings to please him.
Only then did I barely manage to stay alive, and now I’m also working for him.”
“However, I still hid ten million Berries, I’ll give them all to you…
They’re all yours!”
Tils finally gave up resisting and shouted in panic.
Ten million?
“Hehe.”
Skyler let out a chuckle.
His predecessor truly had no eyes; to actually board such a guy’s ship!
Slash…
Without any superfluous nonsense, a brilliant bloody flower instantly burst from Tils’s chest, and his entire consciousness instantly returned to nothingness, losing all breath.
Not far away, another officer of the Tils Pirates, Loir, whose hands had been cut off, was running desperately toward Monde’s town, leaving behind a trail of flowing blood that dried into a red line.
In just this short while, she had already run several hundred meters away.
She was praying that the god of plague wouldn’t discover her…
But the next second, her eyes trembled, her pupils began to dilate, and her vision gradually turned pitch black.
Her whole body was powerless.
I…
what is going on with me?
The woman couldn’t figure it out; was it because of excessive blood loss?
The world was spinning.
She felt like she was falling.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her stiff body…
and Skyler, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time.
After swinging out with a single slash, the man walked away without even looking back, not even glancing at her once.
“So my head was cut off after all…”
Before dying, the woman understood.
Having dealt with past matters, Skyler used the ability of the Teigu to take Tils and rush toward that distant bustling city.
Tils had a bounty in the tens of millions in the South Blue, but much of it was an empty name…
His true level didn’t reach the tens of millions; if he had originated from the East Blue, he would have been a proper great pirate.
But in the South Blue, he could only be considered a strong pirate who dominated a region.
Among the Four Seas, North Blue and South Blue, in Skyler’s view, had the most frequent pirate activities.
However, the atmospheres of the several sea areas were still different.
The North Blue frequently erupted into large-scale national wars, thus giving organizations like Germa sufficient nourishment.
The West Blue was the mafia’s territory, serving as a hotbed for the underground forces of the New World to cultivate fresh bloodlines.
The East Blue, relatively speaking, was the most peaceful…
yet when it didn’t make a noise, it would astonish everyone.
Many great pirates walked out from here, such as Roger.
As for the South Blue…
national wars and mafias were relatively rare; it was purely a Shura field where pirates slaughtered each other, and the degree of bloodshed was unimaginable.
Therefore, being able to have a bounty in the tens of millions in the South Blue was earned step by step, making it much more valuable.
But Tils’s bounty was mixed with some moisture.
This guy always made his subordinates charge into battle while he hid in the back…
Because the number of crew members in the Tils Pirates was extremely large, he always liked to use human wave tactics.
Precisely because he himself did not possess overwhelming strength, it caused some officers to eye him covetously, thereby allowing him to use Skyler’s hand and secret schemes to get rid of these thorny individuals.
On the current Long Whale Island, besides Monde’s native forces, there were still many passing pirate groups.
Skyler’s appearance did not interfere with the enjoyment of these outsiders; many people still lingered in activity places such as casinos and taverns.
Life on the sea was very boring after all, and brief preparation and rest were the few times these people could pastime.
But…
just as Skyler was approaching the city entrance, he was intercepted by a batch of troops continuously dispatched by Monde the Executioner.
The opponent’s formation was fully two to three hundred people strong, wielding all kinds of sharp weapons and firearms.
Some were pirate squads under Monde’s command, and some people were purely dressed as assassins and bounty hunters…
entirely a private armed force.
“A bounty of thirty-five million!
The Ghost, Qin.”
An old man wearing a swallow-tailed coat stepped out from the crowd and said with a serious expression: “Long Whale Island does not welcome you…
If you leave now, the boss can pretend that nothing ever happened.”
A great pirate with a bounty of thirty-five million!
Even if he was alone, conflicting with such a person would result in immeasurable losses.
It could be seen…
this boss who occupied Long Whale Island, Monde the Executioner, was very smart.
“Thirty-five million?” Hearing the other party’s words, Skyler’s eyelids twitched.
It seemed the World Government side had re-evaluated his level of danger.
Seeing that Skyler had no reaction, the old man continued: “You just entered the Grand Line, so you might not be very clear…
Our boss is a partner with the Shichibukai Crocodile!
You should know what the Shichibukai means, right?
Angering such a big shot is a consequence you cannot afford to bear!”
“Are you…
threatening me?”
Skyler looked over coldly.
Facing that gaze, the former’s breathing hitched.
“It’s not a threat, it’s just stating a fact…
And I believe you are a smart person.”
The surrounding crowd of troops led by the old man all stared covetously at Skyler with fierce and vicious expressions.
“Tils was just a stray dog newly taken in by Boss Monde.
Boss Monde doesn’t care about what happened between you and him before…
Of course, if you have anything you want to ask for our help with, you can also say it, and I will convey it on your behalf.
The Tils Pirates are already gone, and a potential swordsman like you always needs a place to settle down, otherwise it will be very difficult to survive on this great sea by yourself.
If you can serve Boss Monde, it’s also a win-win situation…”
“Money, fame…
Joining us, the treatment you can enjoy will definitely be unimaginable…
With your strength, you will also be an absolute core officer.
How about it?”
Changing the subject, the old man spread his hands and revealed a smile.
Compared with the current Skyler, Tils was just trash…
If he could gain Qin’s assistance, then Boss Monde would have even more confidence when negotiating with the Sand Crocodile.
He wouldn’t have to be timid and submissive, acting extremely humble.
He could only be exploited.
During the time Qin went ashore, after losing contact with Tils, they immediately realized that the perpetrator was not simple and was a trouble…
Therefore, they quickly made a response and also checked out some intelligence.
“No…
The things I want, I prefer to obtain with my own hands rather than relying on others’ handouts.”
Skyler said.
Hearing this, the old man’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately retreated, raising his hand without hesitation: “Kill him!”
As soon as the order was given, hundreds of people instantly rushed out.
Forming a black tide.
Skyler urged Tils’s corpse to take the lead, while he followed behind like he was taking a leisurely stroll.
Speed.
Pure speed.
Skyler’s footsteps began to quicken.
When he pushed his movement technique to the limit, the eyeballs of this group of small fries could no longer capture his frequently flashing trajectory.
There were no special techniques, it was simply chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
At the edge of the battlefield, the island’s overt administrator, the old man Stu, looked at the heads falling one after another and the screams, his lips feeling somewhat dry as he slowly retreated…
Too fast, they died too fast!
At this rate, let alone annihilating Qin, they wouldn’t be able to last long at all!
Thinking of this, the old man turned around and ran.
At the same time, he took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the boss.
“How is it going?”
With a beep, the Den Den Mushi opened its eyes, emitting a deep male voice.
“Monde, it’s bad.
This Qin is very tricky, our people can’t hold on…
Tils was indeed killed by him, and he also has no intention of making peace with us…
He seems to be a Devil Fruit user who can control corpses!” The old man replied while running.
“…”
The other end of the line fell into silence.
“It’s also within expectations.
I just inquired, the reason the government raised his bounty is because he slaughtered a battleship all by himself, which is no small feat!
Marine’s Hina is also pursuing him.
It seems I will have to do it myself…
Notify all officers to assemble.”
“Yes!”
“After all, he’s just a rookie.
This is the Grand Line, not the South Blue…
It’s necessary to teach him a lesson.”
After the communication finished, the call hung up with a response.
