Captain Nezumi glanced at Kain, feeling an instinctive sense of unease rise in his heart.
‘Why did this seemingly harmless guy make him feel so threatened?’ ‘More importantly, he knew his secret!’ “Kill him!” This guy wasn’t even on the wanted list, which meant that he was just some insignificant nobody.
‘So what if they killed him?
No one would know or care anyway.’ “How ironic, Colonel,” Kain mocked.
“Killing people the moment you disagree with them, is this the way of the Marines?” Shaking his head, he slowly raised two fingers.
“In that case, I can only send you all on your way~” “What are you trying to do?” “Shh.” Kain slowly raised a finger to his lips before speaking.
“Someone is calling for you.” “Calling for me?” Captain Nezumi was confused.
‘What on earth was this guy talking about?’ “The Grim Reaper.” Kain’s lips curled upwards.
His gaze sharpened as he snapped his fingers.
“Explode!” “BOOM!” “BOOM!
BOOM!” At some unknown point, miniature bomb robots had attached themselves to the Marines.
They suddenly detonated, blasting the group into a brilliant display of fireworks!
Looking at the only surviving Marine, Kain revealed a bright smile.
Combined with the trace of blood on his face, he looked like a demon in the Marine’s eyes.
“Don’t be nervous; I won’t kill you~” Kain waved his hand while speaking.
“Go back and deliver a message to your Marine base.
Tell them this scum was killed by me, the future Pirate Kain!” Killing this scumbag was one thing, but he couldn’t let Cocoyasi Village get dragged into it.
“Y-Yes…
y-yes…” The Marine stammered while trembling.
“I…
I…
I understand…” His teeth chattered uncontrollably, and he could barely control his own body.
He was simply too terrified!
“Mm.” Kain nodded in satisfaction and patted the Marine on the shoulder.
Then his expression suddenly darkened.
“Get lost!” As he watched the Marine scramble away into the distance, Kain narrowed his eyes.
‘Did this guy really think he would let him go?’ Sorry, but he won’t be doing that!
When Kain patted him on the shoulder earlier, he had already placed two robots on him: a miniature bomb robot and a tracking robot.
The moment he reported the situation to the people at the base, the bomb robot would explode!
Kain had never intended to spare any of them, including those back at the base.
Walking in front of Nami, Kain crouched down and pulled her into his arms while ignoring the murderous look Genzo was giving him.
“Do you understand reality now, Nami?” “Why…” Upon hearing Kain’s voice, tears began to shimmer in Nami’s eyes.
“Why?!” “I only wanted to buy the village back.” It was such a small wish!
She had struggled for so many years for that, surviving countless brushes with death.
And in the end, had it all been for nothing?
Nami clenched her fists, her heart filled with hatred towards Arlong.
“I hate him so much!
If I had known this would happen, I should have fought them to the death back then!” “Arlong never intended to let you all go from the very beginning.” Kain sighed.
“Saying those things to you was just a way of making it easier to use you.
It’s just that he never expected you to gather the money so quickly.’ After all, people with hope in their hearts wouldn’t kill themselves.
They would carry on living properly.
What Arlong valued was Nami’s talent for drawing maps.
He couldn’t let her die!
Tears streamed endlessly from Nami’s eyes as she gripped the Arlong Pirates tattoo on her shoulder as hard as she could, her nails digging so hard into her flesh that it seemed they were about to pierce into it.
“Arlong…” “Arlong!” “ARLONG!!!” Kain reached out and grabbed Nami’s hand, stopping her from hurting herself.
“Kain…” Nami raised her tear-streaked face and looked at him.
“Help me…” “All right.” Kain smiled gently and reached out to rub her hair.
“I’ll go and destroy your nightmare right now.” “Uncle Genzo.” Kain stood up and glanced at Genzo in the distance.
“Take care of Nami.
Don’t let her rush into Arlong Park.” Going there now would serve no purpose other than increasing her pain.
“Alright.” Genzo nodded with a complicated expression on his face.
‘Did this kid really have the courage to face Arlong head-on?’ If that was the case, then he’d forgive him for hugging his daughter just now.
Ultimately, though, this was a matter for Cocoyasi Village itself.
There was no way they could let this young man challenge Arlong Park alone!
As he watched Kain’s departing figure, Genzo thought for a moment before saying: “Nami, I’m going to gather everyone.
We’ll fight them to the bitter end!” “But…” “There are no ‘buts’!” Genzo roared angrily.
“Since Arlong has shattered our hope, there’s no point in waiting any longer.” Rather than continue living like this in misery, they might as well risk everything!
Even if he died, he would die like a man, falling in battle!
