Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 24 The moment when the protagonist makes his shining debut

"Ah hahaha! Are you kidding me?"

Sig couldn't help laughing, "You guys floating around on the sea seem to be living a very prosperous life."

He stared at Shanks, the smile on his face gradually replaced by bloodthirsty ferocity.

"Brothers, come on, let these guys who have never seen the world experience the cruelty of this world!"

Following his order, the bandits immediately burst out with extremely strong fighting spirit, waving their weapons with grins.

The penetrating cold light flashed, scaring the surrounding villagers to retreat.

If you accidentally get caught in the crossfire between bandits and pirates, you will die miserably!

However, what they and the bandits never expected was that among the crowd of pirates, only one man walked out slowly.

"Just let me handle these people who don't know the heights of the world."

Beckman, the vice-captain of the red-haired pirates, stepped forward, threw the flintlock rifle in his hand into the air, held the barrel with his backhand, and swung it in his hand like a baseball bat.

"Arrogant pirate, die!"

The anger of the bandits was completely ignited by this contemptuous act. They were cruel and ruthless, no matter how many of you there were, they picked up their weapons and launched an attack with a roar.

Beckman's face was calm, and he slowly came forward with a flintlock musket.

Like a wolf among sheep, his movements were incredibly fast. While dodging the dense blades, he could also launch counterattacks in an orderly manner.

Almost every second, bandits let out painful wails and fell to the ground.

In just one minute, dozens of strong bandits were all knocked down and lying straight on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead!
"Stop looking down on people. If you want to fight us, you have to at least bring a warship over, right?"

After successfully dealing with his opponent, Beckman put his flintlock musket on his shoulder, calmly lit a cigarette for himself, and showed off his skills.

"Okay, that's awesome..."

Aqua, who witnessed the whole process, was stunned.

Her impression of this group of pirates headed by the red hair was still that of "weakness" in the tavern.

Seeing is believing now, and there is no doubt about Lin Zhi's previous words that they are strong.

Because of this, Aqua didn't understand Shanks's words of "laughing it off" even more.

For the goddess of water who values ​​her face more than her life, if she is beaten, it is natural that she should beat her back hard!

Unless you really can't beat it...

Lin Zhi, who was standing next to him, turned his eyes and landed on Aqua, who was full of doubts. He immediately guessed what she was thinking.

Although I don't want to admit that I have the same idea as this idiot goddess, and I understand Shanks' strong demeanor of not arguing with the weak, but if there is really an unscrupulous guy who hits his head with a bottle and attacks himself, There was absolutely no way he could laugh it off.

Guanyiya Sanqi 21, I’ll beat you down first and then talk to you!
"No, it's impossible. How could you bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death be so strong?!"

Over there, Sig, who instantly became a polished commander, was sweating coldly, looking at Shanks and Beckman in horror, the arrogance on his face no longer existed.

After all, he was a veteran who had been among bandits for many years. After realizing that he was no match, Sig waved the long knife in his hand vigorously and made a fierce gesture of fighting for his life.

Then he feinted a shot, took out a smoke bomb from his waist and quickly threw it at the ground, grabbed the struggling Xiao Luffy and ran away.

Shanks was still thinking about how to deal with Sig. After a brief moment of confusion, the white smoke that rolled up in the sky filled the entire street.

"Eh?! Isn't he ready to fight us to the death?!"

Shanks exclaimed, pressing his hands on his head in shock. The strong manly spirit he had finally built up was gone.

Now, he is actually still a newcomer in his twenties, and his behavior is far less steady and reliable than it would be ten years later.

"Don't be careless just because the enemy is weak, idiot captain!" Lakilu said angrily while chewing on a chicken leg, and couldn't help but complain about Shanks.

The pirates around also started complaining.

By the time the white smoke dissipated, the bandit Sig had already taken Xiaolu and fled without a trace.

A simple bandit would just run away, but Luffy's safety must not be careless.

So under the command of Beckman, the pirates and the villagers who came forward began to look for Sig and Luffy in Windmill Village and nearby areas.

Soon, the lively and noisy streets became empty, leaving only Lin Zhi and Aqua standing motionless at the door of the restaurant.

"Lin Zhi, let's go find Luffy quickly. That bandit doesn't look like a good person."

Aqua frowned, looking worriedly at Luffy's slippers left on the ground.

"I don't quite agree with your statement. He doesn't look like a good person. He is clearly a walking 800 million Bailey!"

Lin Zhi chuckled, looking past the chaotic streets and towards the coastline at the end of Windmill Village.

Compared to Aqua's anxiety, he seemed very calm as he knew where Sig was fleeing.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the best time to close the net.

Thinking of Sig's head worth 800 million Baileys, Lin Zhi couldn't help but raise an excited smile.

“Next, it’s time for the protagonist to make his shining debut!”

Little Luffy accidentally ate the rubber fruit, and today's conflict between bandits and pirates can well prove that the development trajectory of this world is indeed in accordance with the original plot, and Luffy, who was kidnapped, will definitely do the same in the end. Saved by Shanks.

At least before I traveled here, this was an undoubted fact.

Based on this key point, there will be quite a lot of information available when entering the Grand Line or even the New World.

When facing powerful men with special pasts like Tyrant Bear and Empress Hancock, you will have the absolute initiative!

So what's left is that Shanks lost an arm in the East China Sea.

Was he just careless and underestimating the enemy and eager to save people, or was he betting on the new era and Luffy, as he told Whitebeard later?

Compared to watching anime in front of the screen, Lin Zhi has a more comprehensive and real understanding of Shanks during the year he spent in Windmill Village.

Therefore, he is more willing to believe the latter!
So he was very curious, what would Shanks do if he rescued Luffy before Sig escaped to the sea?

"It's so shameless to wait until everyone is gone before talking about the main character's debut."

Aqua complained to Lin Zhi with disdain, and then asked seriously, "So where was Luffy taken?"

Lin Zhi did not answer, but slowly raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the sea at the end of the street.

"By the sea? You mean, that arrogant bastard will take Luffy out of Windmill Village by boat?!"

This possibility made Aqua's head spin.

According to common sense, when a bandit flees for his life, he will definitely choose a forest that he is more familiar with.

There's no way to drill into the sea. Isn't that something only pirates do?
"So don't underestimate Sig, he is a very insidious and cunning villain!" Lin Zhi indirectly confirmed Aqua's question.

A guy like you, who regards treachery as a compliment, has what right to condemn others?

Aqua really wanted to have a good conversation, but now that the situation was urgent, she was no longer as careless as before.

"Then let's get there quickly. Luffy will be taken away if we're too late!"

Lin Zhi nodded and set off towards the coast with Aqua.
