Chapter 30: The End and the Plunder, Lu Xi Ya's Farewell

Owen, held by Star Platinum, struggled incessantly, but the body of an ordinary person was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree; it was of no use. Luo Di watched Owen with cold eyes, and Star Platinum exerted force suddenly, snapping Owen's neck with a crack.

Seeing the King killed by Luo Di, the nobles and guards were dizzy with shock. Although the country was not large, its export trade volume was not small, and aside from the areas where commoners lived, the economy was considered prosperous; they had enjoyed themselves for many years.

They had never imagined such a scene would come to pass.

"Kill!" Gai Ou swung his halberd, and the heads of two guards flew into the air.

The pirates were all like they had been injected with adrenaline, beginning to fight the guards frantically. Seeing that the King was already dead, many guards began to feel fear in their hearts, and some simply threw away their armor and weapons to flee.

The battle quickly became one-sided, and the nobles began to kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.

Boom, boom, boom...

Pa Lu threw a pile of Firefly Stones from his shield. The moment the guards touched them, they were ignited. The human torches began to flee in all directions, falling to the ground after only a few steps.

Clang, clang. "I am the invincible Pa Lu!" Pa Lu shouted, patting his shield.

Luo Di did not want to drag this out any longer. Star Platinum flashed and moved among the guards, specifically picking out the capable ones to pummel.

Now the war was basically nearing its end, easier than he had imagined. Even though the King had been killed by him and the guards had lost their will to fight, he had no intention of calling a halt to let them surrender.

If his side were to fail, the other party would absolutely not let him surrender, and his subordinates also needed to experience the baptism of war to be able to face the storms of the Grand Line.

Before long, the battlefield gradually returned to silence.

Whoosh, whoosh... Heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain washed over the earth, the misty rain gradually obscuring the bloodstains. Luo Di stood atop the city wall, the nobles behind him trembling, all kneeling and not daring to raise their heads.

The war ended, and the pirates cheered while brandishing their weapons. Luo Di shouted: "Grab everything of value and move it to the ship!"

"Charge!" The pirates cheered and jumped for joy, rushing toward the palace.

"Look, didn't I say Luo Di would be able to resolve this quickly?" Ka Li Na, arm-in-arm with Lu Xi Ya, smiled with a proud expression.

Lu Xi Ya said softly: "Please do me a favor; I want to take their heads down and bury them."

Ka Li Na nodded without any hesitation.

The pirates entered the palace and broke open the treasury; the clatter of gold coins and Berries dazzled their eyes.

"Move it all to the ship, no private hoarding allowed, wait for Lord Luo Di's instructions!" Xiao En shouted to the pirates: "You should be clear about Lord Luo Di's strength."

He said this for the sake of the original Krieg Pirates. The batch that had boarded the ship at Xiu Mao Zhen was already very well-trained and did not need him to say much, but this current batch did not yet know Luo Di's rules.

The commoners came to the gate of the Wang Cheng one after another to take down the heads on the wooden poles with Lu Xi Ya. Many wrung their hands and wept, filled with immense grief.

The nobles remained kneeling, not daring to raise their heads. Luo Di looked at them and said: "I will not take action against you; you may walk out now."

"Ah?" The nobles were astonished and immediately stood up and ran toward the city gate.

"That man is Huai Te Xi, that beast killed my father before just because he wanted to possess my mother, and my father resisted!" A young man rushed toward a noble and plunged the dagger in his hand into his heart.

"Lai Ao, it's you, you bastard! My mother had her hand chopped off by you just because she put less salt in the food she cooked." Another person also grabbed a steel pipe and rushed up, smashing it fiercely against a noble.

The nobles were quickly overwhelmed by the kingdom's commoners, and not a single one survived.

"Xiao En." Luo Di called out softly.

Xiao En, who was directing at the entrance of the treasury, was not close to Luo Di, but as if he had sensed it, he immediately used Shave to teleport to Luo Di's side in several bursts.

"Captain Luo Di, please give your orders!"

Blood was still dripping from Xiao En's arm, and a gunshot wound deep enough to see bone was extremely conspicuous.

Luo Di instructed: "Tell them to hurry up. Those who are injured go to Xiang Cao Zhen for treatment immediately; we need to save time."

Luo Di knew that with such a great upheaval in the Lv Yin Wang Guo, the navy stationed in these waters would arrive soon. They had just experienced a war, and if they encountered a fleet, it would be hard to avoid further casualties.

After Luo Di finished speaking, he came to the city gate and said to Lu Xi Ya: "Miss Doctor, please treat my crew members; we need to save time."

"Mm, okay." Lu Xi Ya nodded immediately and returned to the hospital with the wounded, mobilizing all medical staff to begin treatment.

Under Xiao En's supervision, the treasure was all moved onto the ship. He took inventory of the casualties and reported to Luo Di: they had originally had five hundred people, and in this war, over a hundred had died, with about two hundred injured.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and a rainbow spanned the entire Lv Yin Wang Guo. The commoners walked out one after another, looking toward the direction of the hospital with grateful expressions.

It was as if they had received salvation.

But Luo Di did not want to have too much interaction with them. His goal was very simple: to rob these nobles of the Wang Cheng, not to be the savior of these commoners. Now that the goal had been achieved, as for the fate of this country afterward, it had nothing to do with him.

In this world, there were far too many situations like this. He did not have the grand dream of saving the world; he just wanted to be a free pirate.

Lu Xi Ya led the medical staff to quickly bandage the pirates' wounds. Some medicines and the supplies such as treasure and food from the palace had all been transported to the ship.

"Doctor Lu Xi Ya, are you really leaving?"

In the room, Lu Xi Ya had already packed her bags, and the little nurse on the side asked in surprise.

"Mm." Lu Xi Ya nodded, grabbed the little nurse's hand, and said softly: "You must work hard in the future."

"Wuu wuu wuu, I will miss you." The little nurse began to cry.

Lu Xi Ya took her luggage and walked to the coast. Luo Di stood on the shore, Ka Li Na and several officers stood by his side, and the pirates stood on the deck looking toward the direction of Xiang Cao Zhen.

"Welcome, my ship's doctor." Luo Di said with a smile.

"Please take care of me from now on, Captain." Lu Xi Ya smiled faintly and walked onto the deck with Luo Di along the ship's ladder.

"Lu Xi Ya!"

At this moment, the commoners of the town walked out one after another, looking at the ship flying the Blood Disaster pirate flag, standing stunned on the shore.

Luo Di lit a cigar, resting his elbows on the railing, elegant and at ease.

Lu Xi Ya saw the townspeople, her eyes sparkling, and said with a sobbing tone: "Everyone, please take good care of your health!"

An old woman said: "You too, Lu Xi Ya. You are the most amazing doctor I have ever seen; you shouldn't be buried here. Go to the vast sea; we will all support you!"

Hearing these words, tears welled up in Lu Xi Ya's eyes. She gripped the railing tightly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the townspeople until they drifted further and further away, finally disappearing, leaving only the boundless sea.

"Lu Xi Ya has left just like that; I really miss her." A middle-aged man said.

"Yes, but Owen and those nobles have all been killed; we shouldn't have to worry about being killed by them anymore, right?" Another townsperson said.

"If any nobles dare to bully us in the future, I will be the first to rush up and fight them to the death!"

"Me too."

"Huh, there seems to be something reflecting light over by the coast," a little girl said in surprise.

The townspeople also walked over, and only upon getting closer did they see the source of the light clearly.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, a bag of gold coins refracted a dazzling light.
