Chapter 279: The Pirate Begging for Mercy on His Kneel
"Captain! Let me go! Let me go! I'm new here and haven't fought yet. I want my own pirate bounty too!"
Bartolomeo forcefully shoved Baku aside, who was blocking his way, and craned his neck to shout.
"Captain! Let me go! All I have to do is jump into the sea, and they'll surrender!"
Dick, eager to get started, also joined in, his burly body radiating power.
boom!
"Phew! Stop arguing, all of you! Let me handle this! It's been so long since I've enjoyed hand-to-hand combat!"
As he spoke, Slard casually tossed a huge, gravity-loaded dumbbell aside, then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his face before slowly walking towards the bow of the ship.
"Forehead……"
The crowd that was scrambling for the prize immediately deflated upon seeing this scene. Since Slard had personally intervened, what chance did they have?
boom!boom!boom……
Boom! Boom...
Splash!
The pirate ships blocking the Liberty's path unleashed a barrage of cannon fire, but strangely, no matter how many shells were fired, they couldn't hit the Liberty, which was less than a hundred meters away.
boom!
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! How the hell did you all fire the cannons? We fired for ages and not a single shell hit, and the ship is still perfectly intact! What the hell are you all doing?"
On the deck of the pirate ship, a tall man who appeared to be the captain was loudly reprimanding his gunners.
"Captain... Captain! It's not our fault! That ship is just too weird! The shells we fired inexplicably ended up on both sides of that ship!"
A pirate who looked like the captain, trembling with fear, faced his own captain and pointed at the Liberty across the way, saying something completely incomprehensible.
As the pirate ship's top gunner, he was once able to take down enemy ships from a hundred meters away with a single shot. This captain was extremely confident in his skills, but today, something was very wrong.
Snapped!
"Useless trash! Get out of my way! Have things been going too well lately? You bastards have lost even the most basic abilities?"
The towering pirate captain slapped the captain across the face, the force sending him spinning several times before he came to a stop.
"Captain, you've been wronged..."
"Hmph! You just watch and see what a true, unerring gunner really is!"
The tall pirate captain walked over to a cannon as he spoke and skillfully placed a cannonball into the breech.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
With a series of maneuvers by the pirate captain, the cannon's muzzle changed direction several times before returning to its original position.
"Hey! You all better watch out! That's what a real artilleryman looks like!"
boom!
Swish!
As the pirate captain reignited the cannon's fuse, a jet-black shell once again flew towards the Liberty.
boom!
However, the shell exploded the moment it left the cannon's muzzle, and the sudden explosion instantly engulfed the pirate captain who was closest to the cannon.
"what!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the thick smoke. Before the horrified eyes of the pirates, a figure enveloped in white smoke flew out of the explosion's plume and crashed onto the pirate ship's deck.
boom!
"captain!!!"
As the figure landed, the pirates quickly rushed off, anxiously checking on their captain's injuries. However, some pirates kept their eyes on the lookout tower atop the Freedom ship not far away.
Standing there was Caroline, dressed in a white robe embroidered with golden flame patterns, with white hair tied in a high ponytail and bright black eyes.
At that moment, the bowstring of Caroline's golden bow was humming! Clearly, an arrow had just been fired from there.
"Hey! Caroline! Didn't we agree that I would handle that ship? Why are you interfering?"
At the same time, Slad, who had just reached the bow of the Liberty, saw this scene and a look of astonishment flashed across his face. He then glanced at Caroline with a casual and helpless expression.
"Hmph! Who said anything to you bunch of stinking men? I just saw someone attacking the Freedom and wanted to teach them a lesson! Here you go!"
Caroline ignored Slard's reaction, and as she spoke, she put away her golden bow, leaped down from the watchtower, and didn't even glance at Slard.
"Wow! Sister Caroline is amazing! She took down the pirates with just one arrow! So strong!"
Just then, Aisha's incredibly exaggerated scream rang out, further stimulating Slad's hearing.
"Oh dear! What kind of mess is this? Never mind! Hopefully there are some capable fighters on board!"
boom!
After making a grumbling remark, Slad suddenly exerted force with his legs, propelling his body directly into the air from the deck and rapidly flying towards the pirate ship.
Bang! Bang...
With each step Slard made a whooshing sound as he moved through the air, he skillfully executed the Moonwalk of the Six Powers of the Navy.
"Phew! With Seastone strapped to my body, the physical exertion is terrifying!"
In mid-air, Slade felt his stamina rapidly depleting, and muttered to himself.
"Ah! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone is flying over from the ship on the other side!"
"Quickly! Prepare for artillery fire!"
Chaos erupted instantly on the deck of the pirate ship. Without their captain's command, the pirates seemed to have lost their leader.
Hey!
"Hey! How did you guys survive on the Grand Line? And now you dare to bombard our ship?"
Amidst the clamor of the pirates, Slade suddenly appeared on the ship's edge, looking helplessly at the routed pirates before him.
boom!
No sooner had Slad finished speaking than a pirate on the deck of the pirate ship fired a shot at him.
when!
However, the scorching bullet aimed at Slard was deflected by him with a raised hand, ricocheting directly onto the wooden planks of the nearby cabin.
"Huh? You missed?"
"Brothers! He's all alone! Let's all charge at him and kill him!"
boom!
Suddenly, one of the pirates shouted, and all the pirates on the deck charged towards Slade with their weapons in hand.
"Hehehe! That's more like it! Let's get started!"
boom!
Slad watched the pirates charging towards him, a smile instantly spreading across his face. With a whispered command, he shot forward, unleashing his full Observation Haki, his fists, coated in Armament Haki, raining down blows like a storm.
boom!boom!boom……
A white blur flashed through the pirates, followed by a series of dull thuds as pirates were blasted off the deck.
"what!!!"
"Ah! My leg!!"
boom!boom!boom……
Where the white afterimage passed, screams echoed. The fallen pirates clutched their bodies and wailed in agony, some even losing consciousness entirely.
boom!
As the last pirate fell, Slade, dressed in a white robe, finally appeared at the stern of the pirate ship.
Swish!
"Whew! That felt great! Hahahaha!"
Slad flicked his white robe, glanced back at all the pirates lying motionless on the deck, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Nani? You...who are you?"
Just then, the pirate captain, who had been stunned by the cannonballs, slowly awoke. When he saw what was happening before him, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Hey! You're still alive? What do you mean 'you'? I'm here to collect your money!"
Slad didn't want to waste words with such a weak pirate and was about to finish him off with a kick, but the pirate captain immediately knelt down, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy, his face contorted in extreme pain.
Pfft!
"Spare me! Please! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
