Chapter 276 Rain Demon Sheila, what she will look like in the future (daily)
The Four Kings of the West Sea.
This is not a fixed title.
Starting hundreds of years ago, countless pirate groups on the Western Sea, the most powerful sea in the world, competed with each other in bloody battles to become the bloody king.
As new kings ascended the throne from generation to generation, the name was passed down in the form of the old king being guillotined.
As for this generation of the Four Kings of the West Sea, in addition to the newly promoted Corleone Pirates, the Shelby Pirates are one of the remaining three established Four Kings that have experienced countless ups and downs and continue to this day. They all belong to the previous generation.
The remnant party.
At the same time, the Shelby Pirates can also be called the most notorious pirates in the world among the Four Pirate Kings of the West Sea.
They will not conduct their own trade and commercial activities like the Corleone Pirates, or even cooperate with the world government.
On the contrary, all the wealth and supplies of the Shelby Pirates were built on plunder. It can be said that every pore from head to toe is dripping with dirty blood.
The "World Journal" of the United Targos Republic once published an article angrily denouncing the existence of this pirate group as "a shame for the civilization of this generation."
A week later, the writer who published this commentary died tragically at home.
There is no way, the strength and power of the Shelby Pirates are simply too amazing.
Especially when such a powerful pirate group has no foundation of its own and relies entirely on plundering on the vast sea to accumulate wealth and supplies.
Even the World Government is unable to exterminate them most of the time.
As for those Western Sea trading ships that had been plundered by the Shelby Pirates, they could only carefully pay the protection fees while secretly cursing the captain of the Shelby Pirates, "Dark Devil" Arthur Sher.
He could die earlier than this old guy from the previous generation.
But I don’t know whether I should say that the disaster will last for thousands of years.
The Shelby Pirates rose to fame in the Western Sea in 1040 of the previous generation and gradually became notorious. It has been more than seventy years now.
The captain of the Shelby Pirates, Arthur Shelby, known as the "Dark Devil", left the original Four Kings Pirates of the previous generation at the age of 40 to form the Shelby Pirates. The final step
Step onto the throne of the four kings of the Western Sea in the previous generation.
He is now close to one hundred and twenty years old. At the end of the millennium of Tianyuan Calendar, Arthur Shelby once showed the strength of the eighth level peak. No one has reached what level his strength has reached now.
You know.
But since the other party can live to this age and is still strong and healthy, the outside world speculates that this guy may have broken through the barrier between heaven and man between the eighth and ninth levels and become a god-level ability user above the ninth level.
Shinagawa Ward,
Mitsui Garden Hotel.
In a luxurious suite,
After completing the mission and returning to the hotel, Higashinohara, Dusk and Wild Rose returned to the hotel's living room and were sitting on the sofa to the left of the coffee table.
And on the other side of the living room,
There were three unfamiliar faces sitting there.
Also two men and one woman.
The man on the left has a rough build, while the man on the right is wearing glasses and has a slightly feminine appearance, and his face looks a bit like a Wano native.
As for the girl in the middle, you can tell at a glance that she is from Wano.
Being able to appear in this room tonight, there is no doubt that they are all the last elite hunters in the [Dawn Scarlet] organization, and they are also the people matched by [Dawn Scarlet] for their joint operation to complete this mission.
"This time our target is the No. 4 cadre of the Shelby Pirates, the person with the awakened elemental water ability known as the 'Rain Demon', and the seventh-level absolute ability user Sheila."
"He used to be the warden of a seaside prison in the United States of Tagos. He had a cruel personality and liked to torture and kill prisoners. After being exposed to the news media by the prisoners' families, he went to the prison address and killed the family members in a frantic manner. He later went into exile at sea and entered Xie.
The danger level assessment of the mission target of the Erbi Pirates is level 7."
After saying this in one breath, Huang Huangyu glanced at everyone and said with a very serious face:
"There is another thing I have to remind everyone here. The Shelby Pirates like to act as a group and pursue retribution. The Rain Demon Sheila will appear here. I am afraid that other members of the Shelby Pirates will also be here.
Even the captain of the Shelby Pirates"
After hearing Huang Huang's words, everyone in the room couldn't help but shrink their pupils slightly.
Obviously, as [Dawn Crimson] registered hunters, they have also dealt with the Shelby Pirates and are well aware of the terror of this pirate group.
At this moment, the man on the right in the three-person group opposite the coffee table, wearing glasses and looking a little feminine, suddenly said, "I don't think the 'Dark Devil' Arthur Shelby will appear for the time being."
"Are you the scout of your three-person team?" Wild Rose couldn't help but asked curiously.
After all, judging from the body shape and appearance of the trio, the soft-faced man with glasses seems to be somewhat of a "brain tank".
"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet."
The bespectacled man pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded towards Wild Rose, and spoke in an authentic Kyoto accent, "Seven-star executive hunter, codename Viper."
As he said that, Viper pursed his lips towards the rough and sturdy man on one side, "That code-named Xiong, he is the reconnaissance hunter of our trio."
"Hello."
A naive smile appeared on the bear's face, and he stood up and nodded towards the three Higashinohara people.
When Wild Rose and Higashinohara under the mask saw this, their faces showed some strange expressions.
Unexpectedly, this elegant man with glasses codenamed "Viper" would be the executive hunter among the three, while the sturdy guy played the role of analyst.
Only Dusk, who was sitting in the middle, remained calm, as if he had seen strong winds and waves and remained motionless.
The bear had a strong body, and when he sat back down, the Wano girl in the middle quickly moved to the side, for fear of being accidentally pressed by his butt.
At this time, the girl also noticed the gazes of Higashinohara and the others, and immediately stood up politely and said, "Hello everyone, I am the team's finishing hunter, codenamed Xia, you can call me Axia.
"
It's obviously not good to come and go.
When they met, they had just received the mission and were in a hurry, so they didn't have time to inform each other.
At this time, since the other party introduced themselves first, Higashinohara and the three of them also introduced themselves.
"Scouting Jaeger, dusk."
"Final Hunter, Wild Rose."
"Execution Chasseur. Uh, Shiro Yaksha."
After hearing Higashinohara's introduction at the end, the three people sitting across from him couldn't help but subconsciously cast their eyes again on the Yaksha mask with white face and fangs on Higashinohara's face.
The next second, the three of them quickly looked away, seeming to remember the information they had seen before.
Is it new to execute the Jaeger?
It seems that I just completed a mission tonight.
It's just that this time their mission target is level 7. Although "Viper" is also a seven-star hunter, the hunter at least has a bottom line, but the mission target has no bottom line at all.
When the two sides are fighting, the bottom-line hunters have a natural disadvantage. Naturally, they have to outdo each other in terms of strength, so they will jointly complete the mission.
But is there really nothing wrong with the matching mechanism of [Scarlet of Dawn]?
With such a "newcomer hunter", it would be nice if he didn't hold back when executing the battle. How can he really be expected to increase his side's chances of winning?
The viper and the bear looked at each other and saw the confusion between them.
Opposite the coffee table,
Dusk didn't care about these thoughts in their hearts.
After hearing what Viper just said, he nodded and analyzed, "Yes, the active sphere of influence of the Shelby Pirates has always been in the West Sea. Even if they know that the Judgment Division has withdrawn from Wano Country, such a place on the bank of the East China Sea
It’s such a small country, and taking advantage of it to rob it may not catch the eye of the Shelby Pirates, so their purpose of appearing here is very clear.”
Hearing this, Xiong's face also showed some thoughtfulness, "Is it the legendary lost world behind the Sky Tree [Border Gate]? It seems that those old guys are really interested in this kind of thing.
ah."
"Old people always want to live longer."
Huang Huang said noncommittally, and then continued, "So when we carry out the mission, at least in the short term, we don't have to worry about the threat of 'Dark Devil' Arthur Shelby. We only need to come up with a target against 'Yu' as soon as possible.
Just let Demon Sheila draw up the best battle plan."
"I think so too."
The bear nodded.
The two scout analysts looked at each other and reached a tacit consensus.
Wild Rose clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, now the question is, where can we find Rain Demon Sheila when she is alone?"
"Everyone has his own world."
Suddenly, Huang Huang said something incomprehensibly, and then found that everyone around the coffee table was looking at him. When he realized it, he shook his head and said:
"Sorry, this is what I said to Wild Rose's old partner, so I think the world of Rain Demon Sheila must belong to a prison."
After hearing Huang Huang's words, a glint flashed in Xiong's eyes with a simple and honest face, and he nodded and said:
"Yes, according to the information I have, Rain Demon Sheila was the warden of a seaside prison in the United States of Tagos before joining the Shelby Pirates of the West Sea. She took pleasure in torturing prisoners, even without distinguishing between friends and foes. Some
New prison guards were also brutally murdered by him, but he later covered it up as the result of prisoner riots, and then killed more prisoners."
"In the end, it wasn't until this incident was exposed that he killed all his family members and lived at sea before joining the Shelby Pirates. But I heard that wherever the Shelby Pirates occasionally stayed ashore, the local prison would suffer a disaster.
.”
It is hard to imagine that a bear with a simple and honest body could finish such a long paragraph in such an orderly manner.
But prison?
After hearing what the two said, Higashinohara also showed a thoughtful look on his face.
Next, the two sides discussed specific actions.
Ten minutes later, Higashinohara and his party temporarily walked out of the hotel where Dusk and Wild Rose were staying.
Before leaving, Huang Wan said that he would hack into the surveillance systems of all prisons in New Tokyo starting tonight, hoping that they would be ready to go out at any time while having a good rest.
I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Higashinohara complained in his heart, but didn't say much.
He, Viper, Xiong and Axia left the hotel. When they separated outside the hotel door, he casually asked, "Don't you guys live here?"
After hearing Higashinohara's words, the three of them subconsciously looked back at the splendid hotel behind them, their expressions seemed a little unnatural.
Neither the viper nor the bear spoke. Axia blinked her big eyes and said to Higashinohara:
"Well, the more cost-effective place I arranged for them is not much worse than here."
"For example?"
“Motel.”
"."
There should be more luxurious motels in New Tokyo, right?
Shaking his head and bidding farewell to the three of them, Higashinohara walked silently towards the tram stop.
What he didn't know was that the three Vipers behind him looked at Higashinohara's "simple" back walking towards the tram stop, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Psychologically, I felt a little closer.
Edogawa Ward, Aragaki Apartment.
After getting off the train, Higashinohara walked around a few times outside. After making sure that no one could keep up with him, he picked up fast food such as sushi and tempura from the deli outside.
Today he made a lot of money in every sense of the word. When he went home, he passed by the deli and subconsciously brought something back. He felt like an old working father who had received a salary.
Just on the way home, perhaps due to the TV report of the explosion of the Roppongi Tower last night and the orange warning on the radio, even the streets in poor places like Edogawa Ward were visibly depressed.
Many shopping malls and supermarkets close one to two hours early in the evening. Only some izakayas and ramen shops that rely on this are still open, but there are no customers in the empty lobbies.
"Big brother, you are back!"
Higashinohara was sorting out tonight's harvest in his mind. As soon as he walked up the corridor, he heard the "squeaking" sound of the door opening!
Immediately, Nishimaru Miria's little head appeared, showing a bright smile to Higashinohara.
Raising the food bag in her hand, Nishimaru Miria jumped up and took it from Higashinohara. Coladia also stood in the door and looked at Higashinohara with a sigh of relief.
It's a bit strange to say that she is obviously seven or eight years older than Higashinohara.
But every time she saw this gentle and jade-like young man, she seemed to have found a backbone in her heart.
After returning to the room, they tidied up the tatami and moved a small square table. Charlie, who came over smelling the smell, sat in a circle with Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria.
Kolodya brought out the food that had been kept warm after being prepared in the evening, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, and sat down opposite Higashinohara at the small square table with a smile on her face, looking more and more like a housewife.
Feel it.
She was the princess of the Grand Duchy of Shayash.
Now that I have come to the country of Wano, I am far away from the center of the whirlpool where the various revolutionary armies are fighting for power, but I have gradually fallen in love with this quiet, leisurely and ordinary life.
It’s just that the storm has come to Wano Country now.
Clodia turned her head and looked at the lights outside the window, seeming to feel that today was a little dimmer than usual.
I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Higashinohara noticed it and asked.
Coladia turned back, raised her hand to smooth her hair beside her ears, and asked softly, "Higashino-kun, do you think Wano will be like Shayash in the future?"
Hearing this question, even Charlie, who was immersed in eating, was stunned.
Obviously, although this tiger girl is a bit petite, she is not stupid either - the Aragaki Detective Agency downstairs has recently suspended operations. In fact, most detective agencies have entered a state of silence.
After all, in the past when private investigations were conducted, the most the defendants would do was invade privacy and then make false accusations.
But if you go out to investigate now, if you are not careful, you may lose your life, and then appear on NHK's evening or morning news broadcast with a white cloth on your face.
Higashinohara was silent for a moment, and noticed that the three people's eyes were looking at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Don't worry too much. No matter what Wano will become in the future, as long as we are still like this, life is still worth looking forward to."
After hearing Higashinohara's words, Coladia was stunned and looked a little thoughtful.
She seemed to think of everything that happened after she fled from the Shayash Grand Duchy in the north to Wano Country, and immediately nodded seriously.
On the tatami, a small square table with four people sitting around was filled with heat and the atmosphere was somewhat warm.
Higashinohara looked at Nishimaru Miria whose small face had regained a smile, then looked at Coladia and Charlie, and looked at the night outside the window, thinking silently in his heart.
What will happen next to Wano Country?
He doesn't care.
But if someone wants to hurt the people around him.
Then, he won't forgive anyone.
A night of silence.
The next day, it was just dawning in March outside.
At early five o'clock in the morning, Higashinohara's biological clock was flooded with group messages popping up in the background of the [Dawn of Scarlet] Hunter website on his mobile phone before it even reached time.
He sleepily took out his cell phone and looked at it, only to find that Dusk was sending messages to inform everyone, and all the content on the screen was the same sentence.
A riot occurred in Shimizu Prison, Arakawa Ward, in New Tokyo, known as "the most difficult prison to escape from" in the early hours of this morning!
The entire prison is currently out of control.
Normally, this would probably only be regarded as an incident where the prisoners took advantage of the chaos that occurred when riots broke out in many parts of New Tokyo and the police force was stretched thin.
But Dusk's keen sense of smell told him that it wasn't that simple.
