When not facing a crisis, they were typically arrogant and conceited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bounty of 2,500,000 was small fry, even in the weakest of the four seas, the East Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What caught Cyrus's attention, however, was the green tag floating above Doru's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Elite Pirate]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the data-fied system's evaluation of an enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's gaze swept over the heads of the other pirates who had gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all had gray tags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lackey], [Small Fry], [Riffraff]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were these fixed evaluations, or were they relative to his own strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus pondered this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his calm demeanor enraged Doru, who was holding the blade to his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the year since he'd set sail, he had attacked several islands. Although he hadn't plundered any valuable treasures, all the weaklings he faced had shown him expressions of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this kid before him, with a blade at his throat, dared to let his mind wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the eyes of the surrounding pirates on him, Doru felt his authority was being challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You arrogant little bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vicious look appeared on Doru's face, and his tone turned grim. He suddenly put force into his right hand, swinging the cutlass through Cyrus's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru froze for a second, then his eyes shifted to Cyrus, who was now looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound on his neck, where the blade had passed through, was burning with orange-red flames, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the flames died down, the wound had already healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current HP: 100%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru subconsciously took a step back, staring at Cyrus in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not the sharpest tool in the shed, what he had just witnessed made him understand that the person before him was not someone he could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus glanced at Doru, retracted all the flames coiling around his body, and walked toward the pirate ship docked at the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding pirates were as silent as cicadas in winter, hastily clearing a path and watching Cyrus's back as he departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pirate who looked like a sub-leader cautiously approached and called out, startling the terrified Doru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Doru seemed to fly into a rage out of shame, his cutlass trembling slightly in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Board the ship!\" Doru finally managed to say after a long pause, under the gazes of his crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a deserted island.

Before him, dozens of pirates stood opposite, their faces filled with apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the nearest Marine base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus asked as he sized up the pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his question, the group of pirates looked at each other, then their gazes fell upon Doru, who stood at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru naturally noticed this and couldn't help but curse inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 16th Marine Branch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Set sail for the 16th Branch,\" Cyrus said with a nod and a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we're pirates!\" Doru's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he shouted subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other pirates also began to stir restlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cyrus raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A spark erupted from his fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, with a whoosh, the spark expanded, instantly becoming a large fireball over a meter in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restless pirates retreated in terror, staring aghast at the fireball floating above Cyrus's fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Set sail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus spoke again, and this time, the pirates scrambled to get busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted to find out what it felt like to be hit by that fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the pirates started working. Even those with nothing to do pretended to be busy, terrified of catching Cyrus's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the fireball disappeared did the pirates on the ship collectively breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Doru, he apprehensively gathered the treasure they had collected from the island into a bag and presented it to Cyrus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of an unknown and immense terror, even a fool knew what choice to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the East Blue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus glanced at the treasure, not having a good sense of its value, and decided to ask about what he really wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru's previous arrogance had completely vanished. He was now incredibly docile, one step short of kneeling to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know of Foosha Village?\" Cyrus asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru looked completely blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know of Shimotsuki Village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru looked even more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know of Garp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Doru's expression, Cyrus asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marine Hero Garp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doru hesitated before speaking, clearly puzzled to hear the name Garp from Cyrus's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh, so he knew Garp.'
