Chapter 67 Undercurrent from Xihai and Shangjing (3/3) 9K Seeking a Monthly Pass
Year 1121 of the Tianyuan calendar.
December 1st, the early winter in New Tokyo, was just an ordinary weekend.
No, maybe it can't be said to be ordinary.
Two big things happened on this day.
The first thing was that the pirate cadres who were publicly executed on Rising Sun Island were rescued by members of the pirate group. In this battle, more than 20 warships and nearly a thousand troops were dispatched by both sides. After a battle between those with absolute abilities at the port,
After the shocking battle, a unique sea chase also unfolded.
In the end, nearly half of the warship was destroyed.
A large number of casualties occurred on both sides in the thousand-man naval battle.
In the end, the remnants of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates successfully rescued Ryunosuke Kamiya, the captain of the second team, and disappeared into the vast East China Sea.
It is said that Judge Adams Carr, one of the twelve rulings of the Adjudication Division, was so angry that he shot the warship under his feet in a rage!
at last....
The companions who were rushed over picked it up from the sea.
It can be said that no matter which day of the year such sensational news occurs, it will probably be the big news that people can talk about after dinner and tea.
Unfortunately, on the same day,
Another big thing happened.
In the Celestial Senate of the World Government, Leighton Hope, a strong-armed member who has risen like a meteor in recent years, was assassinated by an unidentified human from Wano Country and died on the execution platform of the Rising Sun Island.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this news.
This human...how could he?
How dare you?!
...
The west of the continent.
A coastal town near the West Sea.
This is a fisherman town with only over a thousand people living in it. The first group of residents who established the town are said to be the people of the subjugated Luoning Kingdom, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away.
In order to escape the war, they migrated thousands of miles to this land by the sea. After several generations of reproduction, they gradually reached the current scale.
The town does not belong to any country of the Alliance or non-Alliance. The people in the town rise at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a self-sufficient, peaceful and happy life.
Kitts is an eight-year-old boy with a round face and freckles on his face.
His favorite time on weekdays is to go to the beach and look at the distant sea. He often tells his friends that there is no freedom here at all, it is lifeless, and he thinks childishly that he will go to sea and become a pirate in the future.
When the other children heard this, they would just clap and laugh around him.
However, if other adults in the town heard this, they would often scold him severely.
The parents would be beaten if they heard this. After all, pirates were an ominous disaster to their helpless fishing towns.
Only a little girl named Wendy seemed to understand him in the small town.
The other person was the same age as him, and he was also a student in a small town school. Every time he said that he wanted to be a pirate in the future, Wendy's little face would show an encouraging and envious smile.
The only pity is...
Wendy is a deaf-mute little girl,
He was born unable to speak.
This immediately made Kitts feel like he was hiding behind the scenes, and his sense of accomplishment was greatly reduced, because he suspected that the other party did not understand what he was saying at all...
...
This morning Kits received a beating, and when he got to school he was laughed at by others for being late. He was so angry that he ran dozens of kilometers and came to the beach to watch the sea walk aimlessly.
It would be great if he could awaken his ability sometime, then no one will look down on him in the future and will listen carefully to what he has to say.
Kits imagined in his mind that it was noon before he knew it, and his stomach growled.
A child of this age will definitely not be in trouble with his stomach. He will run back after he has done something. Anyway, his parents don't know that he did not go to school.
After dinner at home, hurry up and leave.
He had an idea in his mind, but when he walked home along the seaside path...the closer he got to the town in front of him, the stranger he felt - the town seemed too quiet today, not as quiet as before at noon.
There were noisy shouts as every household prepared lunch.
The next moment, without warning!
Before Kitts could get close to the town, a dazzling fire fell from the sky and accurately hit the mayor's home. The horrific explosion instantly destroyed all the surrounding buildings. The burning heat ruthlessly destroyed the area.
Turned into charred ruins.
Thick black smoke rose from the ruins and slowly floated high into the sky. Kitts quickly reacted from his brief shock and hurriedly climbed up a nearby high slope.
Immediately afterwards, he was shocked to find a group of strangers armed with weapons outside the town. Everyone in the town was trembling and kneeling at the door, with confusion and fear in their eyes.
On the streets of the small town, countless corpses were lying on the ground. The blood stained the stone road he had run on countless times in his childhood. The wind was full of burnt smell, and it also brought a faint moan.
Voice.
Several strangers wearing turbans and laughing walked by on the street. They raised the sailor's scimitar in their hands and slashed at the dying man, cruelly and mercilessly adding the last fatal blow.
Kitts was suddenly stunned.
This is...what happened?
correct!
Where are dad and mom?
As a young boy, he was a little panicked and quickly wanted to sneak around the town and return to his home to see if his parents were still there.
Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, one of the strangers turned to look at him.
"Oh haha~! There is also a kid."
The other party said with a chuckle.
Then, as he was running, Kitz felt a lightness on his feet, and his whole body was lifted up.
...
boom!
The ground is filled with smoke and dust.
Kitts was thrown carelessly in front of the kneeling people of the town. He was dizzy for a while, and a large piece of skin was scratched on his arm, which was extremely painful.
At this time, he was suddenly stunned.
In a pool of blood in the corner not far away, there seemed to be two familiar faces lying there. The father stood in front of the mother, and a sailor's scimitar "strung" them together face to face.
Red blood...
It was also left drop by drop along the tip of the knife.
Kitz's scalp suddenly became numb, and the sudden fear and anger made him speechless. He clenched his fists tightly, and his lips were almost bitten.
These...devils!!!
At this moment, he suddenly saw clearly the man squatting on a chair behind the group of strangers. He had short sea-blue hair, goggles hanging around his neck, a coat and cropped pants, and his hands
There is a large cigar in it, which looks very weird and fashionable.
It's him!
Kits, who often pays attention to pirate information, immediately recognized the man in front of him.
The notorious Celestial Pirate in the West Sea, Thiago Murphy, who rebelled against the Celestial Family, has always been known as the "Deep Sea Devil" in the West Sea. He is engaged in the human trafficking trade. It is said that he slaughtered several villages and towns in a year.
He even helped the rebels attack a small coastal country.
With his privileged background as a heavenly noble, Tiago Murphy also has a complex network of relationships on the mainland, and is often able to conduct various trades under the nose of the World Government. It can be said that both black and white take all.
This is the most shameless pirate he has ever been.
But this guy has never been to this sea area.
Why did he appear in this small town?
Kitts clenched his fists tightly, and just as he was about to get up, someone stepped on his back again.
The man who captured him earlier laughed and teased, "Kid, did you see someone familiar? Do you want to point it out to me?"
Plop!
Kitz fell heavily to the ground again, gritting his teeth and saying nothing - he would not bow to these damn pirates.
But gradually, as the foot behind him stepped on his back became stronger and stronger, Kitts's face became redder and redder, and his consciousness became a little blurry.
Obviously he couldn't bear it anymore.
The townspeople kneeling on the ground watched this scene with trembling lips, but in the face of these murderous demons, they were trembling for a while and dared not speak in anger.
At this time, a little girl of seven or eight years old got up from the back of the crowd. She walked over anxiously, nervously holding her clothes and looking at Kitz who was being stepped on the ground.
It turned out to be Wendy, a deaf-mute little girl in the town.
"Oh? Do you still have a childhood sweetheart?"
At this time, Thiago Murphy in the crowd of pirates suddenly took a step forward and looked at the timid boy in front of him with interest, "Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, such wonderful memories that make people cry."
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Thiago Murphy asked with a smile.
Wendy noticed that someone was speaking to her, and raised her head in confusion, looking at the smiling Thiago in front of her. Murphy subconsciously took two steps back, opened his mouth but could not speak.
"Oh...you think I'm too scary, so you refuse to answer?"
Thiago Murphy muttered to himself and sat down again, "Unfortunately...I don't have the patience to wait for others..."
He waved his hand in disgust.
The man who was stepping on Kits not far in front of him gave a ferocious laugh, turned around suddenly, and the sailor's scimitar in his hand flashed through a cold light as fast as lightning!
laugh--!
The little girl raised her face in confusion, blinked, and a blood arrow suddenly shot out from her tender neck, and then she fell back weakly.
The pirates around him were accustomed to this. The man who did it wiped the blood on his scimitar, smiled, turned around and bowed down and respectfully asked Tiago Murphy:
"Boss, what should we do with this town?"
Thiago Murphy looked at the town, which was full of ruins and thick smoke, shook his head and said, "Leave your property and women."
Kitz, who was lying on the ground and witnessed all this, had tears all over his face. However, no one listened to his words among the pirates who had already begun a carnival of slaughter.
Just like always...
Anger filled his chest.
Suddenly, the dripping tears glowed with a trace of fire.
The next moment, his eyes turned red, as if burning with two blazing flames. He suddenly got up and punched the man holding a scimitar with his back facing him with an angry punch.
Hula—!
The red flame swelled from his fist like a huge wave.
"Huh?!"
A whisper came from among the pirates.
At this time, someone blew on the fire, and the fire on Kitts' fist instantly dissipated like a powerful fire extinguisher, and he punched the man in the back dryly.
superficial.
The man holding the sailor's scimitar turned around with a sullen face, stared fiercely at the angry Kitts, and slowly raised the scimitar with a cold light flashing in his hand.
"You brat...do you...want to die?"
"etc."
The moment the scimitar fell,
Thiago Murphy suddenly raised his hand.
The man hurriedly stopped his hand and stepped back, feeling frightened for a while.
Did he know that the man in front of him not only disliked others ignoring his words, but also his own people. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, disobedience to the tyrant would always lead to death.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that in such a small fishing village... there are actually children who have awakened abilities..."
He rubbed his chin and pondered for two seconds, then turned to his men who were happily massacring in the town and shouted, "If you add one more and keep the child, it will be a fortune."
Everyone responded again.
Amid the pitiful wails as the sword fell from his hand, the town was suddenly stained with a layer of rich blood.
Only those ignorant children who had not yet realized that they had escaped were left quietly huddled in the corner, raising their heads from their arms from time to time and staring blankly at the parents lying in a pool of blood.
....
Thiago doesn't like watching scenes of massacre.
So he turned around.
Suddenly, the phone of the deputy captain next to him rang. After answering the call, he said a few words and quickly covered the phone and approached Thiago Murphy, who had his back to everyone:
"Captain, I'm calling from Beijing. It seems that the family has entrusted you with something."
Thiago Murphy raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Oh? Those old guys finally remembered me? What happened this time?"
"It was Representative Hope who died in Wano Country, East China Sea. The family hopes that you can go to East China Sea as soon as possible and cooperate with the special operations investigation team of the Judgment Division to investigate the murderer under the mask in Wano Country."
"On a business trip?"
Tiago said with a half-smile, "But my investigation method... is not the same as those of the hounds in the Judgment Division, and I need a reward that is enough to make my heart beat..."
The vice-captain immediately continued, "The phone call said... No matter what method you use, as long as you can find out as soon as possible, in return, the trade share of the Shangjing Tianhu Bart family's original purchases from the Corleone Pirates in the West Sea will be divided
Give a quarter to our pirate group."
The moment he heard "Corleone Pirates", the smile on Thiago's face disappeared without a trace, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.
The man named Corleone, like him, broke out of the Celestial Family.
The difference is that the other party is from a wealthy family, one of the "Nine Families of Heaven and Humanity", and has now been promoted to an eighth-level absolute ability user and has become one of the "Four Kings of the West Sea".
His vicious vision and domineering style, coupled with his eclectic methods and delicate thoughts, made him a heroic and heroic maritime hero who stood out from the crowd in the West Sea.
In comparison, the Corleone Pirates' reputation in the Western Sea is countless times more prominent and respected than Tiago's, and they are a top pirate that countless pirates flock to seek refuge with.
The attitude of the World Government and the Celestial Beings in Beijing toward Tiago is at best like treating a vicious dog. If it goes too far, it will be beaten with a stick and a piece of meat will be thrown out when necessary.
But the Corleone Pirates, one of the "Four Kings of the West Sea"... To a certain extent, as a pirate, he was able to truly talk to the big shots in the clouds in Beijing on an equal footing after breaking out of the family.
Why?!
This is what Thiago wants to say in his heart.
He thought gloomily for two seconds, then suddenly a smile appeared on his face again, and he slowly said to the vice-captain, "Tell that old guy that I agree with the matter of Wano Country."
After a pause, Tiago continued, "But the trade share that the Bart family of Sky Fox gave us from the Corleone Pirates is not a quarter. What I want is half!"
Having said this, Thiago gently rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "I won't...stay at the seventh level..."
...
at the same time,
The other side of the distant world.
Wano Country, New Tokyo.
The lights came on in the Cabinet Conference Center.
An emergency meeting on how to deal with the special investigation team that went to Beijing and how to arrest the high-risk elements who claimed to be "discipline committee members" when they assassinated Congressman Hope...
It unfolds in full swing!
In the same city, Higashinohara carried a black handbag, stepped on the first snow after winter in New Tokyo, and walked into the campus of Takehara Minami Private Academy with the belief of being higher, faster and stronger.
