Chapter 15: The Wrath of the Great White Shark

Although the townspeople were not clear about exactly what had happened, the Hanke who had just been brutalizing them was now dead, and the young man and woman on the ship had no intention of harming them, so the fear in their hearts gradually dissipated.

"Are you people from the World Government? Why did you take so long to arrive? Didn't you see that we were almost killed here? What is the point of us paying so much Heavenly Tribute every year?" said a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothing with a bushy beard.

"That's not right, Father, that guy is a fish-man, a fish-man carrying filthy viruses!" a small child beside him said.

"What?" The bearded man stared closely at the Great White Shark fish-man, then revealed an expression of disgust: "Get lost, you stinking fish-man, don't pollute the town I live in. And you, the guy who killed Hanke, even if you saved us, my slaves are all dead, and you are going to be held responsible!"

Upon hearing his words, the Great White Shark fish-man clenched his webbed fists, his face full of visible rage.

Ka Li Na had already taken out the cooked food and fruit she had prepared in advance. Luo Di gorged himself, listening to the townspeople at the harbor, feeling a sense of irony as if he were watching a ridiculous stage play.

In the pirate world, whether they were strong or commoners, it seemed the average intelligence was not high. These guys huddled in a remote town, self-proclaimed nobles, and had elevated themselves to the heavens; they really did have a bit of the temperament of the Celestial Dragons.

While eating, the Ripple power within his body was slowly repairing his injuries.

He had been seriously injured this time, with several broken bones. If he were an ordinary person, he would have already lost consciousness, but fortunately, he had the Ripple to nourish his body.

There are several types of Ripple. The crimson Ripple used in the death match with Hanke just now was of the offensive type, while the Ripple within his body now was the Immortal Pulse Ripple, which could recover injuries, delay aging, and extend life.

The effectiveness of the Ripple would increase with the improvement of his own strength. Due to limited time, he had only mastered two types so far.

Looking at the angry Great White Shark fish-man, Luo Di smiled: "That guy is indeed infuriating. Do what you want to do."

"Hm?" The Great White Shark fish-man was stunned upon hearing this. Although he had been chasing down those shipyard workers, he had also seen Luo Di's battle just now and knew he possessed powerful strength.

If he really were the World Government personnel that the man had just spoken of, and he himself was currently injured, if he wanted to kill that loud-mouthed guy, he would certainly have to get past him first.

He was not afraid of Luo Di, but because the other party had saved him, he was conflicted in his heart.

"Come eat after you finish solving it," Luo Di said indifferently.

The noble in the distance saw the two talking and said displeasedly: "Hey, why are you chatting with this fish-man? Why don't you kill him? The air in our town has been polluted."

"Exactly, exactly," the nobles echoed one after another.

Splash!

The Great White Shark fish-man dove rapidly into the sea. The nobles stood stunned on the spot, not understanding why. After only a few seconds, he suddenly shot out of the sea and landed steadily in front of the noble like a parabola.

Seeing the fish-man come ashore, the nobles first revealed expressions of disgust.

"You beast, how dare you look directly into my eyes..."

Snap!

Before the bearded man could finish his sentence, the fish-man had already grabbed his neck, exerting force with his wrist, and lifted him straight up.

"Urgh—" The bearded man could not breathe, his face turned the color of a pig's liver, and his legs began to tremble incessantly.

"Stinking fish-man, let my father go, or I'll have the Navy execute you." Just as the bearded man's son finished speaking, the Great White Shark fish-man turned his head and glared at him coldly, and he hid behind a noblewoman, not daring to say another word.

Crack!

The Great White Shark fish-man twisted the bearded man's neck and threw him directly in front of the nobles. Seeing this, everyone was struck dumb with fear, and their previous disgust turned into terror.

"Hey, you sir over there, hurry up and take action! Are you just going to watch us be killed by a fish-man?" a noble shouted toward Luo Di.

Luo Di ignored him and continued eating his food. The Great White Shark fish-man looked at the corpse on the ground, then coldly looked at the other townspeople. After pondering for a few seconds, he turned around and dove back into the sea.

When he jumped onto the deck again, Luo Di beckoned to him: "Come over and have some."

Gurgle~

Seeing the food, the Great White Shark fish-man's saliva began to secrete rapidly. Seeing Luo Di eating in big mouthfuls, it secreted even more.

He sat down opposite Luo Di vigilantly and picked up a piece of ham to take a bite.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he began to eat voraciously.

Ka Li Na looked at Luo Di helplessly, meaning that this guy's eating speed was almost catching up to his. Luo Di laughed and signaled for Ka Li Na to pour him a glass of wine.

After gulping down a glass, the fish-man held the empty glass and looked at Ka Li Na with hope, meaning he wanted another one.

Ka Li Na curled her lip and looked at Luo Di. Luo Di smiled and nodded, so she poured another glass for the fish-man.

After finishing the wine, the fish-man rubbed his belly with satisfaction. After a few seconds, he noticed his current situation and became vigilant again.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Luo Di stood up. At this moment, the half-ship he was on was swaying constantly. He quickly reached out and grabbed the arms of Ka Li Na and the Great White Shark fish-man. Star Platinum suddenly leaped out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped to the harbor, transforming into Luo Di's appearance as it landed.

Ka Li Na and the fish-man felt a moment of dizziness, and when they reacted, they were already standing on the shore.

The townspeople were astonished. After the death of the bearded man just now, they did not dare to speak loudly anymore.

Luo Di said: "I am not the World Government person you speak of, but a pirate."

Hearing this, the townspeople were in an uproar, their faces showing panic.

Luo Di looked at the nobles and continued: "I'll give you one minute. Put down the treasures in your hands and retreat into the town. After one minute, the only living people at the harbor will be the three of us."

Upon hearing this, the townspeople put down the treasures in their hands one after another and used all their might to flee back to the town.

"Hey, this young brother, since you can kill Hanke, take us with you to be pirates!" a thug with a scar on his forehead shouted.

"That's right, we want to be pirates too!" the other thugs hurriedly chimed in.

Luo Di curled his lips: "Where I am going is the Grand Line. If you aren't strong enough, you will only die there. Those willing to follow me can stay here; if you don't want to go, then get lost."

Hearing "Grand Line," most of the thugs showed hesitation, but the scarred man stood out, walked all the way to Luo Di, took a dagger from his waist, knelt on one knee, held the dagger with both hands, and said firmly:

"I am willing to follow you, never to betray, until death. Please take me to the Grand Line!"

Seeing this scene, many thugs behind him also knelt down and shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow you, sir!"

"Ya-hahahahaha..." Luo Di put his hands on his hips, pointed at Hanke's large ship, and said: "Then move the treasures and the weapons from the shipyard over! Get ready to set sail!"

"Oh yeah!" The thugs cheered and jumped for joy, each thinking of how to impress him, and began to move the treasures.
