“This is the place.” Kain raised his head and glanced coldly at the Marine base in the distance.
“This is the Marine branch that colluded with the Arlong Pirates and oppressed Nami’s village.” “Oh?” The moment Luffy heard that, his expression turned serious.
“Then let’s destroy it.” As a pirate, the whole point is to live freely!
Since they had bullied his companion, there was no way he could let them off the hook.
That was Luffy’s way of thinking.
The others nodded in agreement.
After all, these Marines were no good either.
Getting rid of them would be like eliminating a public menace.
“A fight already?” Zoro stood up excitedly.
“Let’s just charge straight in.” After resting for several days, he felt like his body was starting to rust, and the timing was perfect to use these Marines to sharpen his blades!
“There’s no need to go to so much trouble.” Kain casually pulled a fist-sized sphere out of his pocket.
“This little thing can blow this entire Marine base to the bottom of the sea.” The Straw Hat crew: “????” ‘That thing was that terrifying?!’ “Wait, hold on!” Nami immediately grabbed Kain’s hand.
“Put that thing away first.” “We can’t fight like that this time.
Captain Nezumi worked with Arlong for years, so there must be a huge amount of treasure in there!” That was all the money!
Money extorted from civilians!
Free money was still money!
“Ahem…” Usopp twitched nervously.
“I think you should switch to something with a smaller blast radius.” ‘Carrying such terrifying bombs around all the time…
was that really OK?’ ‘What if one of them suddenly exploded?’ The whole ship would be blown into the sky!
“Fine…” Kain reluctantly put the massive bomb away.
“What a pity.
My precious masterpiece won’t get a chance to be seen.” “You’re sure you don’t need it?” Kain still sounded unwilling to give up.
One bomb could solve all their problems instantly!
“No need!” x4 Meanwhile, Luffy had already made his way to the front of the ship, preparing to charge in.
“Luffy, wait!” “Hm?” Hearing Kain’s voice, he paused.
“There’s no need to rush.” Kain pulled several small bomb robots out of his pocket.
“Let me show you some fireworks first.” Then he tossed the bomb robots into the air.
Mid-flight, they transformed into small fighter jets and flew rapidly towards the distant base.
A few moments later…
“BOOM!” “BOOM!” “BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!” The entire outer perimeter of the Marine base exploded under Kain’s bombardment, and the sudden attack left all the Marines inside stunned.
“What happened?!” The Lieutenant Commander roared furiously.
“What the hell is going on?!” ‘Could there actually be pirates in East Blue daring enough to attack a Marine base?’ “Lieutenant Commander, sir!
A pirate ship has appeared outside; it’s them attacking us!’ “Judging by the flag, it must be the Straw Hat Pirates!” “The Straw Hat Pirates?” The Lieutenant Commander froze, then his face darkened.
Not long ago, he had learned from the sole surviving Marine about Captain Nezumi’s death.
When that survivor left Cocoyasi Village, he saw a pirate ship by the shore with a straw hat on its flag.
It was the Straw Hat Pirates!
“You’re certain?” “Yes, sir!
The flag is definitely theirs!” “This is bad…” Cold sweat dripped down the Lieutenant Commander’s face.
Even the captain had died there, so there was no way he could defeat people like that.
He was now the only ranked officer left in the entire base.
Everyone else had died alongside Captain Nezumi.
If someone hadn’t needed to stay behind to guard the base, he would have gone too.
‘Should he run away?’ The Lieutenant Commander seriously considered it.
Over the years, the cut he had received was already enough money for him to live comfortably forever if he had disappeared somewhere.
Unfortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates weren’t going to give him that opportunity!
By the time he had made up his mind, they had already stormed inside.
“Get out of our way!” Luffy swung his arms wildly around.
“Stop interfering with our search for treasure!” “Luffy, we came here to cause trouble for them.
The treasure isn’t really the main point.” Usopp hadn’t even finished speaking before Nami, whose eyes were practically glowing with belly signs, interrupted him.
“We came here specifically for the treasure!” She spoke to Usopp before turning her ire to the marines in front of her.
“If you know what’s good for you, hand over all the money!
Otherwise, we’ll wipe you all out!” Seeing how they were acting, Kain shook his head in disbelief.
How could they possibly confess if you asked them like that?
“We hand over the treasure…
and you’ll spare us?” One Marine soldier asked cautiously.
Kain: ???
“That depends on your information.” Nami crossed her arms calmly.
“Now then, tell me where it is…” “Absolutely not!” The Lieutenant Commander suddenly rushed out with a twisted expression.
“That money is mine!” He had traded his future for that money.
Now that Captain Nezumi was dead, it all belonged to him.
But the moment he shouted it, he immediately regretted it.
Looking at the pirates who were staring at him like hungry wolves, he felt cold sweat begin to pour down his face.
He wished he could slap himself several times.
‘Why on earth had he charged out without thinking?’ These monsters might actually kill him!
“Yours?” Kain sneered coldly.
“That money came from your partnership with the Arlong Pirates, didn’t it?” “If anything, it should belong to the civilians living on the nearby islands.” “So how exactly did it become yours?” The Lieutenant Commander opened his mouth, but no words came out.
There was no way he could answer that.
Kain coldly continued: “This guy definitely took part in all those crimes, too.” “I see.” Luffy’s eyes turned cold.
“Zoro, take him out.” “With pleasure~” Zoro revealed a savage grin and instantly charged toward the Lieutenant Commander.
His blades had long been thirsting for this man’s blood!
