Chapter 31

The reason he hadn't wiped out the Arlong Pirates completely

was that he chose to hand them over in a bundle to the Marines for processing,

on one hand, Li Xiao truly was not a bloodthirsty person;

rather than wiping them out, it was better to leave them for the Marines to imprison,

and on the other hand, it was based on the principle of making use of waste to prepare some living expenses for himself.

But now it seemed

that handing them over to the Marines for imprisonment was obviously unrealistic,

unless he personally escorted the Arlong Pirates to another Marine branch,

or even escorted them all the way to the Marine Headquarters!

That was obviously impossible;

Li Xiao didn't have the leisure time for that!

But if he simply handed them over to Captain Nezumi,

barring any unexpected events,

not long after he left,

the Arlong Pirates would swagger out,

and perhaps even have a military doctor help treat their injuries!

And once Arlong left,

he would inevitably return to Cocoyasi Village,

launching a series of retaliatory actions against the villagers of Cocoyasi Village!

Sigh...

What a hassle!

Should I just cut them all down?

Although Li Xiao was not a bloodthirsty person,

he was also not a indecisive saint!

If it was necessary,

he would also draw his sword and cut without hesitation!

Just as Li Xiao felt that it would be more appropriate to simply draw his sword and cut down the entire Arlong Pirates,

the Captain Nezumi before him awkwardly withdrew his hand,

picked up a pile of wanted posters and flipped through them,

pondered for a moment,

and slowly spoke:

"Hmm, this group of fish-men all come from the Arlong Pirates. The Arlong Pirates are a small pirate crew in the East Blue. Except for the captain Arlong, who has a bounty of three million Berries, the rest of the crew have no bounties."

"However, considering that you have captured the entire Arlong Pirates, I will add another two million Berries for you, making a total of five million Berries. No problem, right?"

Upon hearing this,

Arlong, who was being supported by two fish-men, immediately changed his expression,

and thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Being greedy for money was one thing in ordinary times,

but facing such a fierce person, you dare to deduct the bounty!

Is your brain really as big as a rat's?

If you are tired of living, go hang yourself,

don't take me down with you!
