Chapter 22

Kill Them All and No One Will Know That I’ve Made Merit

“Damn it, why did that man come here?!”

Looking at the pirate ship that had gone far away, Smoker smashed a big rock flying over with a punch and said hatefully.

He had already grabbed Straw Hat Luffy, but he was interrupted.

“Damn Dorag!”

“Dorag? The most dangerous man in that world?!”

Tashigi was shocked. “Colonel Smoker, why did Dorag come to Rogue Town?”

“I don’t know. Where that man goes is never fixed. Otherwise, the World Government wouldn’t have such a headache.”

Smoker blew out a mouthful of smoke and sat on a big rock, looking at the sea with a dark expression.

“Colonel Smoker, bad news, pirates… a group of pirates are rioting!”

A Marine came from afar and shouted in shock.

“What?!”

Smoker’s eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, “Those pirates…! Hurry up and organize the troops and encircle the pirates!”

“It has been notified, but Colonel Smoker, they… they hijacked civilians!” Marine looked troubled.

In a street not far away, a group of pirates gathered, surrounded by Marines on both sides, but Marines did not dare to go up because more than half of these pirates were holding hostages.

“Hehehe, get out of the way, or I will kill her!”

A pirate was holding a woman hostage with a dagger pointed at her neck. As he spoke, his dagger moved forward and the tip of the dagger touched the woman’s skin, causing her to bleed.

“No, no!” The woman screamed in horror.

The Marines gritted their teeth and stood there in a deadlock. If not for the hostages, this group of pirates would have been captured long ago.

“Move.”

A voice sounded from the rear. Marine turned his head as if he had seen his savior.

“Colonel Smoker, Captain Tashigi.”

Smoker, his face angry, walked from the rear of the Marine to the front and stared at the pirates.

“Smoker!”

The pirate grinned. “It’s because of you that my captain was captured. I’ve been hiding here for so long and finally got my chance. Now give me a ship and food and let us go, or I’ll kill these people!”

“Yes, kill these people!” The other pirates echoed.

“Damn pirates!”

Tashigi gripped the handle of the knife and gritted her teeth.

“Stop dreaming pirates, I am Marine, I will not let you go!”

Smoker roared, “Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will catch you!”

“Oh? Aren’t you afraid that these people will die?”

The pirate holding the woman licked his bloody dagger, full of threats.

Smoker’s face was ashen. There was nothing he could do about the hostages.

Marine does have radicals who can fight pirates and ignore civilian casualties, but he is not.

Although he was a Logia user, it took time to deal with pirates. During this time, as long as a civilian suffered casualties, Smoker could not stand it.

“Colonel, why don’t we promise them that we will attack them when they are on board?” a Marine suggested.

Smoker gritted his teeth. “This is the only way.”

“Hehe, let your people retreat first and get out of our sight, or I will kill one person.”

Another pirate suggested.

“Don’t push it, Pirate!” Smoker said angrily.

However, the pirates were not afraid at all.

“Back off! Go somewhere else and catch other pirates.”

Smoker had no choice. With a gloomy face, he told the Marines to leave.

After the Marines left the sight of the pirates, Smoker said: “I will do as you ask, but if a civilian is hurt, then the request is invalid. I will kill you even if I am punished by Headquarters!”

“Hehe, I don’t believe it.”

A pirate stabbed a civilian in the thigh and grinned. “Smoker, you usually show off your power, but now you can’t do anything. Kneel down!”

“Don’t go too far!”

“Hahaha, if you don’t kneel down, I will kill someone for you to see!” Pirate laughed.

When Tashigi heard these words, her eyes were almost bleeding. These pirates are too much!

However, she had no choice. With the hostages around, she could not do anything.

“I…”

Looking at the group of civilians with strong business aspirations, Smoker bit off his cigar and his legs were about to bend.

Tap, tap, tap…

Footsteps sounded slowly.

Smoker stared. Behind the pirates, Kuro was coming in the rain.

As he approached, the rain in the sky seemed to stop.

“Kuro!” Smoker was shocked. “Leave quickly, they have hostages.”

“Another Marine, Smoker, didn’t I say to let Marine leave? If you don’t keep the agreement, I will kill one first!”

A pirate flicked his tongue exaggeratedly and pulled the trigger at the hostage in his hand.

Whoosh!

However, at this moment, Kuro, who was walking in the rain, disappeared and appeared in front of Smoker in the next moment with his back facing the pirates.

The pirates seemed to have been frozen in place, maintaining their previous expressions and posture. The pirate who was about to pull the trigger also froze.

Kuro calmly sheathed his sword and said to Smoker:

“Smoker, do you know why I have been staying in Cao for ten years? First, I like safety and don’t want to attract attention.

Second, for pirates who don’t do much evil, I usually let them be. If I can catch them, I will catch them. If I can’t catch them, I won’t force them. As for pirates, it’s normal for them to seek some treasure, as long as it doesn’t kill them.

As for these evil pirates, I will try my best to create a situation where I face them alone. It is not to make peace or to beg for mercy, because for such people, there is only one solution—

If I kill them all, no one will know that I have made a contribution.”

The blade slid on the scabbard and closed very rhythmically.

Click.

“One Blade Dovenom.”

Chi!!!

The heads of the pirates soared into the sky and a large amount of blood spurted out from their necks.

The blood mixed with the raindrops that had not stopped and turned into a rain of blood that fell to the ground.

All the heads of the pirates were missing and the cut was as smooth as a mirror, but there were no casualties among the civilians.

Smoker and Tashigi widened their eyes and collectively swallowed, their eyes full of horror.

Smoker did not even see how this sword technique was done!

“So scary…”

Crowe, who had rushed over from behind, felt cold all over. The heads of the pirates seemed to have fallen from the sky. Such a scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Leda was so scared that she didn’t even dare to eat her snacks. Her face was solemn and she subconsciously turned into a girl.

If he didn’t do it well this time, he would be in trouble.

“Let’s go. There are many pirates who hijack civilians like this. Find them and kill them one by one. Rogue Town, the town that starts and ends, from now on, let it end completely.”

Kuro turned around and continued walking in one direction.

“This murderous aura, how many people have you killed so far!”

Smoker recovered and asked loudly.

Kuro stopped for a moment and continued forward.

“Who knows.”

I, Luciru Kuro, am twenty-four years old. My biggest dream is to live out this life safely.

I also have a nickname—Myriad Slaughter!
