Chapter 169: Crueler Than Evil, A Cruel Solution

At nightfall, the sewer entrance was opened, and several guys reeking of stench crawled out from within.

The massive Orgins stood in the sewer, watching these Navy members, each with their own physical disabilities, leave the shelter where they had hidden for so long; for the first time, an unusual expression appeared on his fierce face, and after moving his mouth several times, he finally just whispered:

"You must survive, you... trash..."

Rushido glanced at Lieao and Banabi; he knew his order was effectively sending several people, including himself, to their deaths.

But sometimes, life must also give way to other things.

Rushido nodded at the two and quickly walked toward the direction closest to the Shendian.

He took the position most likely to encounter Enel for himself, preparing to be the first to initiate contact at the place nearest to the Shendian, hoping to increase the survival rate of the other two.

Banabi and Lieao also understood Rushido's intent; the two looked at each other, smiled, and turned to start running.

Lieao only had one leg left, but he hopped very quickly; the two only hoped to find a Den Den Mushi as soon as possible—that sort of thing would likely be held by local chambers of commerce, newspaper offices, or gangsters.

Lieao hopped on one leg toward the West Street; he did not even think about how he, with only one leg left, could persuade those arrogant local gangs.

But at this moment, he only felt a sense of mission enveloping him, letting him hop the two-kilometer distance all the way to that dirty and chaotic street.

But what met his eyes made him freeze in place.

Under the moonlight, a tall man stood in front of a group of gangsters, dead or alive, with blood still dripping continuously from both his hands.

Seeming to hear the movement, the other party turned his head, and the silver moon painted a cold, chilling brightness onto his face.

It was that guy who killed the priest Shura!

Bai Cangshu saw it was that one-legged Navy officer and ignored him, turning his head back to look at the group of underlings he had easily dealt with, revealing a cruel smile.

"Run, you Worms, use all the strength in your bodies, and before I kill you, escape this island..."

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu wiped his hand casually, the Force on his fingertips like a sharp blade, instantly slicing open the throat of the man at his feet.

Blood gushed out.

Seeing this scene, the others also lost their courage and began to flee in terror.

Bai Cangshu glanced at Lieao again, tapped his toes, and his figure instantly turned into a blurred shadow; massive amounts of fresh blood gushed continuously, and fear, accompanied by screams, quickly ignited the entire block.

In the distance, a large number of people began to rush toward this area under the leadership of a priest.

But at this time, Bai Cangshu had already quickly moved from the rooftop to another street, hiding in the shadows, his breathing and heartbeat completely vanished.

He was like a ghost, walking in corners that others would not notice, without a sound.

Bai Cangshu looked at the tavern in the distance that was still noisy in the night, knowing this was likely the stronghold of those Pirates.

Enel did not care about this group of Pirates; as long as these people did not stand up to resist him, nor speak ill of him behind his back, Enel could actually accept these people living like Worms under his feet.

Bai Cangshu walked to the tavern door, listening to the lively shouting inside, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

He pushed the door open directly and looked at the people inside, saying:

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still drinking here!"

Bai Cangshu's voice was very loud, making the Pirates who were drinking and making merry all freeze, looking at this unfamiliar face.

The man wearing a loose white fur coat with a skull tattooed on his chest was the first to turn back; he frowned and pressed his hand onto the scimitar on the bar.

Bai Cangshu, however, acted as if he had not seen it and continued:

"It is said that a perverted serial killer has come to town; that group of gangsters had over a dozen people hacked to death!"

Hearing this, the others started drinking again.

This group of Pirates cared about no one but themselves.

"Gangsters?"

"Haha, just a bunch of thugs!"

"If it weren't for that... guy being there, we would have finished them off long ago..."

"Exactly, exactly!"

A group of people continued to eat meat and drink.

But the yellow-haired Pirate slumped on the bar slowly raised his head; the alcohol in his body was dispelled by a faint, imperceptible murderous intent, and he turned back, happening to see the man standing at the door with blood still dripping from his fingertips.

Bellamy's eyes instantly regained clarity, but Bai Cangshu had already closed the tavern door behind him.

He suddenly tilted his head, looked at the yellow-haired Pirate on the bar, and said:

"10 seconds, give me 10 seconds."

Bellamy opened his mouth, his arms instantly turning into a spring-like shape, and the air was flicked once in an instant, but the space in front of him suddenly went Empty.

【Instant】!

Pfft!

A black shadow swept past him in an instant, and a splash of fresh blood sprayed onto his face; he turned back and only saw his vice-captain Saqisi's shoulder slashed with a huge wound, and the scimitar the other party had placed on the bar had also disappeared.

"Watch out!"

Bellamy finally shouted, but the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh almost merged into one.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The series of slashing sounds suddenly ceased.

Bai Cangshu's figure changed from blurred to concrete, as if many afterimages had returned to his body all at once.

Bai Cangshu exhaled a breath of turbid air, glanced at the scimitar in his hand with several chips in the blade, and tossed it aside.

"Ha, it turns out three seconds was enough..."

Because after activating 【Instant】, it was not suitable for delicate work, he had actually grabbed that scimitar and directly slashed wildly in the center of the tavern for a few seconds.

At this time, the entire tavern was enveloped in a thick, bloody aura.

The Pirate responsible for mixing drinks was already so scared he collapsed to the floor.

"Ah!"

He screamed, looking toward his captain.

Captain of the 【Hyena Pirates】, Bellamy (Hyena), a major Bounty Criminal with a bounty exceeding fifty million.

But Bellamy only kept a cold face, rising from the bar counter; he saw it very clearly, this guy's speed was close to the speed obtained after continuously bouncing using the Tese of the 【Shanzhuang Guoshi】.

Moreover, it was not just speed and ability; the other party's gaze, that kind of vague killing intent, could not possibly be brewed just by killing a few people, even though Bellamy had also killed many people and took pleasure in harming others.

But this guy who killed without any reason the moment he came up, even he felt it was extremely dangerous.

"You guy, do you know what it will be like to lay a hand on my crew..."

Bai Cangshu had no interest in listening to Bellamy's bluster.

"Shh, Bellamy, don't be noisy; this is a precious life I spent ten seconds convincing myself to leave for you."

Bai Cangshu tapped his own forehead, the smile on his face too intense, to the point that it looked somewhat manic.

"You perhaps don't know what kind of struggle ten seconds is for me."

Bai Cangshu was not lying; the decision to kill his "master who taught him, Tao Baibai," was also something he spent ten seconds thinking about.

For an absolute rationalist who never felt guilt and never regretted, an action that required ten seconds to think about could already be called very cautious.

He casually tossed out a piece of gold, smashing it onto the bar counter.

"Now I give you two choices."

"First, take this gold I found from the Golden Town, run, run back to 【Mock Town】, run out of this sea area, and tell everyone the location of the Golden Town..."

Bellamy listened to the other party's increasingly manic tone, his gaze already completely cold.

He was very certain that this guy was a lunatic through and through.

Bellamy swung his right hand downward, his arm immediately turning into the appearance of a spring; with the help of powerful arm Force, it elongated in an instant, then tightened instantly.

"Go crazy somewhere else!"

Bang!

A punch hit the other party's chest head-on, the intense Force landing solidly on the other party's body.

Boom!

Bellamy watched the ground under the other party's feet shatter in an instant, and looking up, he only saw a pair of eyes carrying a cruel smile.

"It seems you want to choose the second path."

Bang!

Bellamy raised both hands, but that fist was already imprinted on his chest.

Boom!

The wall shattered, and Bellamy crashed through the wall and out.

Bai Cangshu walked out of the tavern in a few steps, continuing in his mouth,

"The second path, naturally, is to be like that gang that refused to cooperate, stay on the island, and become the target of my hunt..."

Bellamy rose from the ground; his physical constitution was tough, and having been sent flying over ten meters, he did not suffer too heavy an injury, but at this moment, he had already realized the strength of the person before him.

His own fist hit the other party, but for some reason, there was no reaction at all.

Moreover, the other party's speed and power were both quite formidable.

"You are also a Devil Fruit Ability User?!"

He asked instinctively.

Bai Cangshu did not reply, only taking a step out; he took advantage of the time when most attention was attracted to the gang members who had just died, breathing freely.

Thud!

The ground shook, and Bai Cangshu vanished instantly, appearing again already in front of Bellamy, throwing a punch, but this time Bellamy reacted; he himself was the type accustomed to using fruit abilities to perform high-speed movement attacks.

He had quite good Adaptation to Bai Cangshu's use of 【Fire Heaven Form】 footwork attacks.

He instantly bent his knees and leaped up seven or eight meters.

But Bai Cangshu's center of gravity shifted as he wished, instantly tapping the air to land, rising from the ground like a sharp arrow, and kicking Bellamy down from mid-air.

Boom!

"Wrong answer, Bellamy."

"I originally thought you were a smart person who would choose to take the opportunity to run back to Mock Town and contact your master—the 【Seven Warlords of the Sea】, 【Doflamingo】."

Bellamy rose again; under Bai Cangshu's intentional control, Bellamy had not been injured in his internal organs by the Force, and at this moment, hearing Bai Cangshu's words, his gaze also changed.

Bai Cangshu took in the sight of Bellamy's accelerated heartbeat and changing breathing rhythm, a mocking smile lingering in his eyes as he continued,

"I heard that the 【Heavenly Yaksha】 himself was once a member of the Celestial Dragons and will certainly be interested in the Golden Town..."

"And you, Bellamy, will not lose Doflamingo's trust because you were defeated by me..."

This sentence made Bellamy's pupils shrink; he suddenly remembered that he could act under the emblem and name of the Doflamingo family, but he could not fail; once he failed, Lord Doflamingo would take everything back.

At this moment, the pressure given by the person in front of him, combined with the terror of Doflamingo, finally allowed Bellamy to shake off the fear given by that Monster on the island for a moment.

Perhaps, as long as there were enough people fleeing together, he indeed had a chance...

"Seal the port, someone is going to sea!"

Just at this moment, an alarm sounded, and a large number of 【God's Guard】 began to gather from the town center toward the port.

Bellamy also made a decision at the same time; he bent his knees and instantly turned into an afterimage.

Bang!

The tavern bar counter was smashed, and the next moment, Bellamy ejected at an even faster speed; after a few bounces, Bellamy's tracks disappeared completely.

Bai Cangshu, however, returned to the bar counter in a leisurely manner, looking at 【Saqisi】, who had not yet died due to the powerful vitality unique to this world, and slowly squatted down.

"Saqisi, do you have a Den Den Mushi?"

"Uh..."

Saqisi gasped, his strength weak, the loss of a large amount of blood leaving him very Weak.

Bai Cangshu slid his finger, finally stopping at the center of his brow.

"Dial the Den Den Mushi, contact anyone in the outside world, it doesn't matter who."

"I will give you ten seconds."

Saqisi's eyes revealed a look of despair; he knew that once he dialed the Den Den Mushi, those radio waves would attract that terrifying Monster on the island to appear.

However, if he did not use the Den Den Mushi at this moment, the guy before him would kill him.

The cold sensation at the center of his brow made Saqisi feel almost no heat.

He slowly pulled a Den Den Mushi from his fur coat, and Bai Cangshu watched as he dialed a contact somewhere, then his figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.

A moment later, a thunder dragon shimmering with blue-white lightning roared from the sky, swallowing the tavern.
