Chapter 333: Zhumeida Island - Cocoyasi
The pirate group with two ships is quite famous in this area. Although their strength is not that good, they still have a bounty of several million, which is just a gift to the Amber Travel Group.
As soon as these unlucky guys discovered the Amber, they were frightened by a group of little ghosts. The captain just started to comfort them by saying that ghosts are just scary things and can't hurt people at all, when a little ghost exploded in his face.
"Hahahahahahaha~" Perona laughed wickedly, controlling the little ghosts to chase the pirates around. She loved this kind of teasing, especially when she didn't have to worry about being scolded after teasing the pirates.
The Amber turned the rudder towards the pirate ship. Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's head. These people have been in such a miserable state, so we will not use Tom first.
After a while, Perona lost interest. Ye Yan and Wendy each chose a ship to practice with these pirates. The process can be described as crushing them with ease.
While waiting for the navy, Zhang Da also briefly interrogated the pirates whether they happened to pass by here or deliberately found this place.
"We heard that you found the treasure of the great pirate Wu Nan, so..."
"No wonder we've encountered pirates so frequently recently. The news has finally spread." Zhang Da also asked, "You've only heard about the treasure, but not our achievements? How dare you come and cause trouble for us with your level?"
"Of course I've heard about it. It's said that you've wiped out several pirate groups, and even defeated Creek." The pirate paused, his eyes shining, "But that's Wu Nan's treasure! The Golden Mountain! What if we can get it?"
"You really value money over life." Zhang Da finally understood what it meant to die for money and birds for food. "Besides, how can we put a mountain of gold on such a small boat?"
The pirate said confidently with a look of "Do you think I'm stupid?", "You must have only taken a small part and hid most of the gold. As long as we kill you and get the treasure map..."
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Da actually felt that what he said made sense. The temptation of Wu Nan's treasure was even greater than he had imagined. It was so great that some fools wanted to try their luck even though they knew they couldn't win. There were many people who thought, "If I can get it, I'll make a fortune."
It seems that I won’t have to worry about travel expenses while in the East China Sea.
The patrol boat of the naval branch came for the handover this time. According to them, this is the intersection of the waters under the jurisdiction of the 77th and 16th naval branches, and there are many places that are unclear.
"Colonel Brin Brin asked me to say hello to you all on his behalf and thank you for your contribution to maintaining the stability of the East China Sea." The major in charge of the patrol boat spoke with a bit of awe. He had heard that these were the most hardworking bounty hunter team in the entire East China Sea. They would destroy a pirate group every now and then, and he heard that they were only part-time workers. How amazing.
"You're welcome. This is what we law-abiding citizens should do." Zhang Da also took the money with a smile. "How is Colonel Brin Brin? I'm grateful for his hospitality last time. I will definitely visit him if I have the chance."
The lieutenant commander's face changed, and he began to stutter: "It's...it's getting late. We need to escort these pirates back to the ship as soon as possible so as not to delay your continued voyage."
The naval lieutenant hurriedly led his team away, fearing that Zhang Da would also ask them to stay for dinner.
Zhang Da also looked up at the sun and wondered, "It's not even noon yet, how come it's already late?"
"That was a close call..." After getting away from the Amber, the major wiped the sweat from his forehead.
A lieutenant asked: "Major, isn't it impolite to leave in such a hurry? Isn't it said that the Amber Travel Group is the Navy's friends, and each branch should try to build good relations with them? At least they should be treated to lunch..."
"Stop!" The major almost jumped up when he heard about inviting the Amber Travel Group to dinner. "Listen carefully, this is the only thing that is absolutely forbidden on the warships dispatched by our base. Anyone who invites them to dinner..."
The major recalled the experience of that mission and showed a look of deep sorrow: "The person who invited them to dinner should apologize to all the marines on the ship!"
The lieutenant looked confused.
Three days later, Zhang Daye and his crew destroyed several unknown small pirate groups while sailing.
"These scum are so annoying. They are so incompetent yet they dare to come here to cause trouble. The ship is small and the bounty is low. Who gave them the courage?" Ye Yan complained. He was suddenly woken up by the sound of cannons during his nap. He was in a bad mood.
"Indeed, the less skilled the people are, the less confident they are. Is it because our banner is too kind, making people think that our previous achievements were fake?" Zhang Da was also considering whether to put Shark Chili's avatar on it to make it look more fierce.
Tom protested, baring his teeth and saying that he was extremely fierce, having inexplicably sunk a small pirate ship the day before yesterday.
Shark Chili also protested. He felt that he was quite kind. He controlled his strength when he hit someone yesterday and only used 500 tiles of Fishman Karate.
Zhang Daye had no choice but to give up this unreliable idea. It would be annoying for a while, and he would just regard it as cleaning up more garbage for the people of Donghai during this time before leaving Donghai.
Shark Chili said: "According to the plan, we will arrive at Jumida Island today. It is a large island with a naval base. The pirates should not dare to act too recklessly. We will have a few days of peace then."
Zhang Da also nodded. Where had he heard of Zhumeida Island?
…
At the same time, in a small village in the corner of Zhumeida Island.
"Pirates! Pirates are coming!" someone shouted in panic.
"What a horrible boat! It's actually being pulled by a monster!"
"Ajian! What should we do?"
Everyone near the coast realized that the pirate group they encountered this time was completely different from the previous ones, and looked at the sheriff Ken in disbelief.
Ah Jian had never seen such a scene before, so he forced himself to remain calm and said, "I will contact the navy right away. Everyone, find a place to hide quickly. If they want money, give it to them first. Saving your life is the most important thing. Hide quickly!"
This is the normal behavior of ordinary people when encountering pirates . It is best to hide and not be discovered. If discovered, they will spend money to avoid disaster and wait for the navy to rescue.
When faced with pirates who not only want to steal your money but also want to kill you, people will have no other choice but to fight for their lives - the probability of ordinary people defeating those vicious pirates is too .
The villagers took action one after another, but this time the pirates moved much faster than they had imagined.
Although the boat was still far from the coast, the monster pulling the boat rushed to the shore like an arrow from a bow: "Moo-Ah--"
With a ferocious roar, the manatee, which looked pitiful, weak and helpless in front of Aaron, opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp teeth, and leaped out of the sea and pounced on the houses on the shore in the horrified eyes of the villagers.
Boom—Crack—
The villagers felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, and a row of houses were razed to the ground by Moo. When the smoke and dust cleared, Moo stared fiercely at the humans next to him.
"My - my house!" More than a dozen people knelt on the ground, feeling lucky that they were not inside but also feeling sad for their loss.
Then several more people shouted with red eyes: "Biqi, Biqi is still at home!"
"Toad!"
"Louis!"
The villagers shouted for their loved ones, their wives, their children, their brothers. Those who had relatives at home felt as if the sky had fallen down. Their houses were destroyed in an instant by such a huge monster. The people inside...
"Damn monster!" Several villagers rushed forward desperately, ignoring the difference in size, and punched and kicked Moo.
"Don't do anything stupid! That kind of monster, that kind of monster..." Ah Jian wanted to say that we are not even as big as one of its eyes, so it is impossible for us to fight it, but if we were them, we would also go up and fight desperately, right? Ah Jian clenched his fists. How terrifying must the person who came this time be to be able to command such a monster?
Just as Ajian thought, ordinary people's fists and kicks were like flies hitting people to Moo Moo. It didn't hurt, but it was really annoying. He lightly swept his tail and several people were knocked away and crashed into someone else's house.
"Mali!"
"Kuba!"
The villagers subconsciously shouted several people's names, but they dared not move. Ajian touched the pistol on his waist with a grim face. This old-fashioned pistol might not be able to penetrate the skin of this monster, right?
Now, what do we do?
Without giving him much time to think, the ship of the Arlong Pirates finally docked, led by Arlong, followed by several cadres including Kroobi, Jiu, and Xiaoba, and then a large group of strange-looking fishmen came down from the ship one after another, everyone with a smug smile on their face.
“What on earth is…” The development of the matter has completely exceeded the villagers’ imagination.
"These are fishmen! They are the same fishmen as Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who was appointed last year!" The most experienced old village doctor recognized the identities of these people, "Why would the fishmen from the Grand Line come to us!"
"What?" Everyone, including Ajian, looked shocked.
Aaron strode up to the villagers, opened his arms, and announced loudly:
"You ignorant and insignificant human beings! From now on, this village, no, this island is ruled by us!"
"Oh!" the fishmen shouted in unison.
The villagers looked unhappy, but they had not completely given up hope. Ajian had already asked the navy for help. Everything would be fine soon, right?
Aaron didn't care what these people thought. He ordered: "Bring everyone in the village here!"
"Yes, Big Brother A'long!" The fishmen took action and spent some time going door to door to "invite" everyone.
Those who were knocked away by Moo were also carried out and thrown in front of the old doctor for treatment. However, judging from the old doctor's expression, these people were probably in great danger.
"Listen up! 100,000 Beli for an adult, 50,000 Beli for a child, and those who can't pay..." Aaron showed a cruel smile, "Kill them!"
Some of the fish people stood around to prevent anyone from escaping, a few carried bags of money and recorded them one by one. Yes, they knew how to record. The fish people found a population registration book in the village, which recorded in detail the number of people in each household, and even registered the marital status and whether or not they had children. The population management was very scientific.
But this actually made it easier for Aaron to find someone. After learning about the charges, he looked at the house destroyed by Moo Moo, and then looked in the direction of the old doctor: "Are those the guys whose things were confiscated? Were they killed along with their families by Moo Moo... It's really a headache. I originally planned to only kill those who couldn't pay. It's their bad luck."
"If we have to pay so much money every month, how can we survive?" The villagers whispered angrily or sadly.
"Be patient for now, at least we are alive for now, the navy will catch them soon." Ajian felt sad but also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Bellumel's house was relatively remote, otherwise it would be terrible. She would definitely not be able to come up with 200,000 yuan for one adult and two children.
However, what you fear will come true. A fishman suddenly said, "Brother A'long! There is another house far away from the village! There is smoke coming out of the house."
"Oh no!" Ah Jian was horrified. He quickly calculated his family's savings and realized that even if he took out all of them, it would not be enough.
"Hmm?" Aaron glanced at the smoke from the cooking fire in the distance and laughed, "I almost missed it. Who lives there?"
Jiu flipped through the register and said, "It's a woman named Bellumel. She's single. She should be alone. Can I go over there?"
"Let's go together. We can also take a look at what our future territory will look like." Aaron planned to look around and then find a suitable place to build a paradise for the fishmen.
"Oh, right, leave some people to watch the boat." He said to watch the boat, but he glanced at the villagers. With Moo Moo here and a dozen brothers left, there is no need to worry about these people causing trouble.
Aaron took most of the mermen away. The remaining mermen didn't want to stay with these humans, so they simply returned to the boat. Moo also turned around and jumped back into the sea.
Ajian was already panicking. Although the registration book showed that Bellemel was single, Nojiko and Nami must be eating at home at this time. If they were seen by Aaron, they would still have to pay, and then they would be dead.
And with Bellumel's character, I'm afraid he will take action without waiting for Aaron to ask for money? That would be even worse!
"What about Bellumel? Can she come up with so much money?" Some villagers expressed the same concerns as Ajian.
"Why don't we try to get together and at least get through this difficult time, and then figure out what to do next."
"But how can we have so much money..."
"Okay, everyone who has extra money can pool their resources and send a few people to clean up the rubble. The people inside might still be alive, so remember to hide them quietly. Also, take Doctor Gao, Mali and the others are in your care." Ajian tried to calm himself down and assigned the tasks one by one.
"Ajian, what are you going to do?" the old doctor asked.
"Go rescue them. Aaron said he would visit the village and won't go too fast. As long as I bypass them and hide Nojigo and Nami in advance, I only need to pay 100,000 Beli. Berumel should have some savings."
"Please don't mention those two kids, Nokigo and Nami." After giving his instructions, Jian pretended to go home. After making sure that he was out of sight of the fishmen, he started running wildly, praying in his heart, 'Berumel, please don't be impulsive! '
…
A few minutes later, another ship appeared on the sea, with the cat-head flag on the mast fluttering in the wind.
A little blue-haired girl stuck her head out of the observation room and shouted, "I can see the island!"
After a pause, Wendy continued to shout: "There is a big ship parked on the shore, it's a pirate ship!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Altria pushed aside Zhang Daye, who was temporarily at the helm, and gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and the speed of the Amber suddenly increased.
