These bandits are menacing, numbering in the hundreds, and they seem to be very difficult to deal with.
But actually...
Let alone him, even two of his elite soldiers could easily capture them all.
Maybe Mr. Bailong had other considerations. He was too lazy to think about it and just leisurely watched the excitement with a cigar in his mouth.
"As you can see, we are bandits."
The bandit leader wandered to the bar with a toothpick in his mouth and grinned, "But we are not here to cause trouble. Hurry up and sell us drinks. We want..."
He turned around, looked at the number of subordinates, and stretched out an index finger:
"At least ten barrels."
"sorry."
Maginot was a little nervous at first, but after looking at Nuo Xia, she quickly calmed down, smiled and shook her head: "Sir, all the wine in the store just happened to be sold out."
"All sold out?"
The bandit leader raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, hey, isn't it a little weird? Are these marines drinking boiled water now?"
"It's really gone." Maginot said apologetically, "Because the store is not big, all the wine in the tavern is here, that's all."
"This is really embarrassing."
Nuo Xia suddenly spoke. He raised his head and raised his wine glass to signal, and said with a smile, "It seems that we have drank up all the wine here. If you don't mind, there is another bottle over there. I'll treat you to it."
Um?
The bandit leader frowned, followed his gaze, and found that there was indeed an unopened bottle of sherry on the bar.
"One bottle?"
The bandit leader narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly raised his right palm.
Snap!
The next moment, the sound of a wine bottle exploding was heard, startling everyone in the tavern.
Nuo Xia, who was very close at hand, was still pouring wine for herself as if she hadn't heard anything.
The splashed wine was instantly electrolyzed when it was still more than ten centimeters away from the surface of his skin, and disappeared silently into the air.
After pouring the wine, he turned around and looked down at the bandit.
He is 3.4 meters tall, and even when he is sitting down, he is much taller than his opponent, who is only over 1.7 meters tall.
"Are you kidding me, big guy!"
The bandit leader did not notice the strange disappearance of the wine, and sneered, "Don't underestimate me, such a small bottle of wine is not even enough to soothe my throat!"
He pulled out a wanted notice from his arms with a swish, held it in his right hand and raised it high, "Look carefully, I am a super wanted criminal with a reward of 8 million Baileys, Sig!"
"I have killed 56 self-righteous guys like you!"
"..." Many marines present looked at each other with strange expressions.
"It's really..." Nuo Xia didn't even look at the wanted poster. He looked at the broken glass and sighed, "It's very laborious to clean this kind of thing..."
As he bent down to pick it up, he asked casually, "Miss Maginot, do you have a rag?"
"Eh?"
Only then did Maginot recover from her sluggishness. After looking at Sig with pity, she took out the rag, pushed the door open and walked out of the bar, "Let it go, Mr. Bailong, how can I trouble you with this kind of thing? I'd better let it go."
I'll just come..."
"..."
Sig's eyes became cold, and his right hand touched the saber at his waist.
These two guys are actually singing along here, completely ignoring themselves?
You really don’t take his dignified Lord Sig seriously at all! You are simply looking for death!
"Do you like cleaning so much?"
An unknown fire arose in his heart, and Sig pulled out his sword with a grim smile, and swept away all the wine bottles on the bar, "Then I'll let you clean it up!"
clang!
As soon as the sword blade fell, it seemed as if it had hit a wall made of steel and was suddenly blocked. Immediately, the force of the backlash surged forward, making his entire tiger's mouth numb.
Sig almost failed to hold on to his sword, and was startled. He turned around and saw that the heavy smoker who was still smoking a cigar in the distance had appeared beside him at some point.
A big black hand, like a steel bar, tightly grasped the blade. Even if he tried all his strength, he could not pull it out or move forward an inch.
"What are you thinking about, bandit..."
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, raised his head and glanced at him expressionlessly, "With me here, how could I let someone like you meet Mr. Bailong..."
The words just fell.
He suddenly let go of his right hand, and Sig was caught off guard. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Brother!"
Several bandit cadres behind him were shocked and hurriedly supported him.
"Get away!"
Sig swung his arm suddenly, knocking several people away. He looked down at his sword and was shocked to find that the entire sword had countless thick cracks starting from the tip.
What a lot of strength!
His pupils shrank, and he looked at Smoker, who had a stern face, and then at Nuo Xia, who was still concentrating on collecting the glass debris with his head down, his face pale and pale.
Damn it!
You've made a mistake! The navy in the tavern has an unusual background. They are definitely not comparable to those weaklings and cowards I have met before!
Seeing that he was silent, the younger brother behind him couldn't help but ask, "Brother, now..."
"What's big?"
Seager's backhand was a big slap in the face, and he reprimanded sternly:
"What's the fuss about? It's just to buy a drink! Why are you making so much noise? Ah? You're disturbing the public at night! Did you know?! The neighbors have to go to work tomorrow!"
It was obviously you who broke the glass...
The younger brother covered his red and swollen face, feeling aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute anything and could only nod his head.
"Walk!"
Sig snorted coldly, waved his hand, and took the lead, turning around and walking towards the shutter door, muttering angrily:
"You can't even buy some wine in any shabby tavern. Let's go, kids, go to the surrounding towns. I'll never come back to this damn place again!"
"Yes, boss."
The bandits finally realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and no longer dared to show off their previous arrogant look, they all hurriedly turned around and followed them.
Oh oh oh!!! So handsome!!
At the bar, Luffy's eyes suddenly turned into sparkling stars. After looking at Smoker, he turned to look at Nosha with excitement.
Is this the navy... It's so awesome. There are so many bandits, they are so menacing and arrogant, but now they are so scared that they want to run away in despair?
This was just the action of the white-haired guy. If Uncle Nuo Xia had taken action himself, wouldn't these pirates be so frightened that they would lose their souls and run away desperately?
"Uncle Nuo Xia..."
Luffy couldn't help but just opened his mouth when Nosha smiled and raised his hand to interrupt him, snapping his fingers.
Tina, who had been guarding the shutter door for a long time, understood tacitly, drew her sword out of its sheath, and blocked the exit of the tavern with an expressionless face.
The rest of the marines also stood up silently and surrounded all the bandits.
"..."
Sig's face suddenly turned cold, he turned his head and said solemnly, "Hey...Navy, I'm leaving already, what do you mean?"
"It's your business if you want to leave."
Nuo Xia took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Do I allow you to leave like this?"
"Boss..." a bandit asked anxiously.
"That's too much!"
Sig's chest instantly filled with anger, he spat out the toothpick with a loud sound, and said in a cold voice, "Since you are so ignorant, I can only make you the 57th dead soul under my command!"
"Young men, fight with these stupid navy and let them know that my Sig bandits are not easy to mess with!"
"Yes, boss!"
The bandits were also aroused by his words. They drew their weapons one after another, roared ferociously, and charged towards the surrounding naval soldiers!
…
One minute later.
The ground was covered with bandits who were screaming in pain. Tina Smorg and others were unharmed. They sneered, clapped their hands and retreated to their original positions.
handsome!
Witnessing the sailors' quick and easy defeat of bandits several times larger than his own, Luffy exclaimed. According to his grandfather, this situation came to light - and he laughed,
Raise your glass and drink it all in one gulp.
It's a pity that he is underage and the only thing in the cup is hot milk.
"Uncle Smoker!"
Luffy wiped the milk stains from his mouth without finishing, and looked at Smoker with a smile, "I can't believe it, you are so powerful...ah, by the way, how are we going to deal with these bad guys?"
"How else to deal with it?"
Smoker lit another cigar, puffed away the smoke, and said expressionlessly, "We will interrogate them later. Those who have been coerced into joining the gang and have not committed any evil deeds will be taken back to prison for custody, but I guess they won't be able to pick anyone out."
several……"
"It would be a waste of food to keep everyone else in prison. They will all be executed on the spot. The seaside is not far from here. It is convenient to dispose of them by dumping their bodies into the sea."
After saying this, he glanced at Nuo Xia subconsciously.
"..."
Nuo Xia was silent for two seconds, but still smiled and nodded slightly.
——It seems, it seems, maybe, besides Aokiji, there are many navy juniors who are supposed to be moderate and dovish, but they have been led astray by their own influence and embarked on a completely different path?
the other side.
Smoker didn't notice Nosha's strange look. He only knew that he had received the approval of his idol. He was in a good mood. He rolled up his sleeves with a cigar in his mouth and walked towards the bandits lying on the ground, ready to put it into practice.
"etc!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
Smoker turned around and saw Luffy standing on the bar without knowing it, eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief:
"You...you, you, Uncle Smoker, do you mean to kill all these bandits?"
"What if?"
Smoker frowned and asked.
"It's too much!"
Luffy said dissatisfiedly, "They just came to buy drinks, and they didn't do anything heinous! Although they were very rude to Sister Maginot and Uncle White Dragon, I was also very angry... but beating them up was not enough."
Is it already even?"
"If it doesn't work, just ask them to apologize and pay for it! Just taking their lives directly like this is simply, simply..."
Probably because of his poor vocabulary, Luffy didn't know how to describe it for a moment. He gritted his teeth and slammed the table, "It just won't work anyway! I don't agree!"
"This little brother is right!"
Sig, who was already in despair on the ground, suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly shouted, "Old... no, I am willing to apologize! You can also pay for it! I have a lot of money, a lot of money, and the one I broke just now
I am willing to pay for the bottle of wine and all the damaged items in the tavern!"
"Did you let me speak? Squat down for me!"
Tina was not polite and slapped him over. Sig's head was swollen three times, and he shed tears of pain. He squatted back with his head hanging.
Smoker looked at Luffy and frowned.
Bandits are not a thing in the first place, and eight million is a bounty that only evildoers who have committed many heinous crimes can receive.
In the end, just apologizing and paying money is enough?
What innocent and childish thoughts, Smoker sighed, and was about to explain the truth to Luffy, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nosha shaking his head slightly in this direction, with thoughts running through his mind, and he immediately chose to shut up.
"I think what Luffy said makes sense."
Nuo Xia looked at the angry Luffy and said with a smile, "Well, little guy, you heard it too. They said they have plenty of money. How much do you think they should pay?"
Did you see it?
Uncle Bailong is still reasonable!
Luffy made a proud face at Smoker, turned around, and pinched his chin to pretend to be thoughtful, "Well... let me do the math, they broke a lot of wine, tables, chairs, and windows.
The glass is also broken... If we add them all together, it would be ten million beli!"
Ten million Baileys?!!
Sig almost spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground. Damn it, brat, do you know how to count? Do you have any common sense?
What is the concept of ten million beli?
Ten million is enough to open a dozen taverns like this. If I cut off my head and sell it, it would be worth eight million. Where can I get ten million for you?
"Well……"
Luffy looked at his expression and felt that something was wrong. He looked at Nuo Xia anxiously, "Uncle, did I say I was too high?"
"No, not at all, the price is very suitable."
Nuo Xia rubbed his smart little head, looked sideways at Sig on the ground, and said with a smile, "Did you hear that, ten million beli, first apologize sincerely, and then take out the compensation, and then
You can take your people and leave."
But where am I? - Sig was about to argue, but after meeting Nuo Xia's eyes, he shuddered inexplicably, and the words that were about to reach his lips were immediately swallowed.
"Quick! Take out all the money you have!"
Sig turned back and lowered his voice to urge his men, "Don't hide your secrets from me, think clearly. Whether we can survive depends on this money!"
"Boss, I only have 50,000 Baileys left..."
"Me too, only a little over 20,000."
"What?!" Sig widened his eyes and glared at the most powerful cadres in front of him with hatred, "I will give you a big sum every time I finish robbing, that's all I have left.
?”
"I can't help it. Those women who prostituted me last time in Goya Kingdom have all been used up..." The cadre lowered his head in shame.
"Fart, since when did you get paid for doing that shit?"
"Boss, don't worry, I still have two thousand beli!"
"I have some more... Hey, why are there only two steel coins left in my pocket?"
…
After a lot of piecing together and working for a long time, I could only scrape together a few hundred thousand beli. Adding in Sig's own more than two million beri, the total amount was just over 3 million.
A pile of small-denomination banknotes was piled on the bar, with a few coins stacked on top.
"This, this..."
Maginot looked at the huge sum of money in front of him and looked at Nosha at a loss.
"Keep it."
Nuo Xia smiled and reassured her, then turned to look at Sig again.
"Didn't we agree on 10 million beli?" He snorted coldly, "Why is it only 30%?"
"That, that..."
Siger was sweating profusely on his forehead. He racked his brains for a long time. Suddenly an idea flashed through him and he answered with a smile:
"Sir, I definitely have money. Didn't I go out to hang out and buy drinks? I didn't bring much with me..."
"But don't worry, our village is not far from here. As long as you let us go back, I guarantee that all the remaining money will be sent to you tomorrow!"
"tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, just tomorrow! As a swordsman, I swear to my sword that I will deliver it before dark tomorrow!" Sig hurriedly patted his chest.
"..." Nuo Xia was noncommittal and looked back at the little devil who was collecting money for Maginot, "Miss Maginot, Luffy, what do you think?"
"I don't care." Maginot said with a smile, "Just do whatever you want."
"...emmm, I think it's okay too."
Luffy tilted his head and looked at Sig. Suddenly his face became serious and he said seriously:
"Hey! Sister Maginot and I both agree! But! As a man, if you say something, you should not be able to pull back the four sea kings. You guys, please don't break your promise!"
