Chapter 46: Riot in Luo Ge Zhen

"Roar!"

"Boys, loot it for me! Smoker is no longer here, these navy underlings are simply vulnerable, they are no match for our Gorilla Pirates!"

In the plaza, a riot suddenly erupted beneath Roger's execution platform; people who had been walking calmly drew weapons from their waists and began smashing the nearby shops.

The people on the street fled in panic immediately; under Smoker's governance these days, they had forgotten the chaos of the past, and now, suddenly facing danger, they had no ability to cope at all.

"Gorilla-hahahaha, loot it for me, and after looting, we'll head to the Grand Line; I want to challenge those Emperors of the Sea and see how much they're really worth!" a burly man who looked like a gorilla and stood over two meters tall sneered.

"Who did you say you wanted to challenge?" At this moment, a dignified female voice came from behind him.

The gorilla-man froze for two seconds and turned to look back, only to see a woman with long pink hair, wearing a wine-red form-fitting suit that revealed a snowy cleavage, and holding a cigarette in her mouth, watching him, her Justice cloak blowing loudly in the wind behind her.

Behind her, a large group of navy soldiers was arriving one after another.

"Bounty 12 million, captain of the Gorilla Pirates, 'Wild Gorilla' Shangrila; meeting you right after arriving, Tina is very satisfied."

"What?!" Xinggelila said in terror: "You, you are Heilan Tina?" This book was first published on Tiantiankan Novels to solve your book shortage, ttk. tw is super practical, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

"If you know me, you should know what to do; Tina has more important targets and doesn't want to waste time," Tina said coldly.

"Roar! Boys, attack, kill this woman and we'll make a name for ourselves!" Shangrila brandished the mace in his hand and charged toward Tina, his group of underlings following closely behind, with the momentum of newborn calves not fearing tigers.

"Ignorant pirates, Tina is speechless. Shave." Tina instantly flashed in front of Shangrila, opening her arms in an embracing posture.

"Xia·Cage-Feather Cage."

Black rods extended from her arms, arranged horizontally and vertically into square iron shackles, firmly shackling everyone including Shangrila, pressing them down to the ground, unable to move.

Tina tossed her long pink hair and exhaled a thin trail of smoke: "To dare to challenge the navy with just this much strength, Tina is very disappointed."

The navy subordinates took away the shackled pirates, and Tina reached into her inner chest pocket, took out a Den Den Mushi, and dialed.

"Hey, Tina, how is it on your end?" The Den Den Mushi grew a circle of stubble, and a rough, calm voice came through.

"Just finished off a few, but haven't run into the Blood Scourge yet; the whole Luo Ge Zhen is in chaos now, there are pirates everywhere, Tina will deal with the plaza side first," Tina replied.

The stubble Den Den Mushi nodded: "Hmm, the Blood Scourge is a 60 million bounty pirate, don't take it lightly, wait until I arrive before doing anything."

"Ah, understood, you all stay safe, we will be back soon," Rody said, hanging up the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Pieruo was still retreating under the attacks of Star Platinum; Star Platinum's rapid-fire punches gave him no chance to unleash any moves at all. A slight sense of fatigue spread through his body, and the Ripple in Rody's immortal veins began to circulate.

How could I possibly lose to a brat? This time I could have made a huge profit, enough for me to enjoy for several years.

"Ah!" Pieruo ignored Star Platinum's fists, his pitch-black arm pointing straight at his heart; the power of Finger Pistol was already accumulating.

Just as his fingertips touched Star Platinum, the purple-blue body suddenly turned intangible. Pieruo, who had pointed at nothing, leaned forward due to inertia; just as he was about to fall, he quickly braced his palms against the ground, did two somersaults, and steadied his stance.

The blinding glare made him close his eyes instinctively. He looked up at the sky; Rody was above his head with both arms extended, the Scarlet Ripple circulating in his left arm and golden lightning swirling around his right. Then, he brought his arms together; amidst the banging explosions, his heart pounded wildly, and the powerful pressure made him unable to move a single step.

"Thunder-Fire Karma Burial!"

Boom!

The collision of fire and lightning formed a tornado, sweeping Pieruo into it. As his entire body was enveloped, the gravel on the ground constantly shattered and splashed. The surrounding crew members retreated one after another; this light made their eyes extremely uncomfortable. Ka Li Na stood in place, covering her eyes, barely observing the battlefield through the gaps in her fingers.

The smoke and dust dissipated, leaving only one figure.

Rody's clothes were completely destroyed, revealing his toned upper body. Ka Li Na instinctively squeezed her legs together, and an inexplicable sense of admiration welled up in her heart.

"Capture all pirates, execute those who resist on the spot!" a navy colonel shouted.

The navy soldiers filed in from the port, capturing any pirate they saw holding a weapon. Those pirates had no power to parry in front of the numerous, well-trained, and well-armed navy.

Some dropped their weapons and surrendered, while others attacked the navy directly and were then surrounded and killed. They had all heard that Smoker was away and were following their own captains, preparing to head to the Grand Line; who would have thought they would encounter the main force of the navy.

"Wind Shadow Sword Art!"

A tall, thin pirate brandished a long sword with such speed that it left afterimages in the air. In an instant, blood bloomed on the chests of several navy soldiers, and they fell to the ground one after another.

The tall, thin pirate sneered: "I am the Wind Shadow Demon; you think you can catch me? Today I must go to the Grand Line, the future is waiting for me!"

"Young man, don't be so impetuous."

At this moment, a rough, gentle voice sounded.

"Hmm?"

The Wind Shadow Demon turned to look, only to see a middle-aged man over two meters tall, with stubble, a samurai sword at his waist, and a cigar in his mouth, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Who are you?" the Wind Shadow Demon asked.

"Ah, I'm just a nobody. But I am a navy soldier, so I can't let you run wild," the stubble man smiled: "Since we are both swordsmen, let's practice; make your move."

"You're courting death!"

The Wind Shadow Demon suddenly disappeared from where he stood, afterimages swirling in the air, the speed so fast it caused sonic booms. Yet the stubble man still stood there smiling, his gaze not shifting at all, as if the Wind Shadow Demon did not exist.

In the blink of an eye, the Wind Shadow Demon had leaped behind the stubble man, the long sword in his hand wrapped in air currents, slashing toward the back of the stubble man's neck. If it hit, the opponent's head would fall to the ground immediately.

"Navy officers are nothing more than this; speed is everything!"

Just as the long sword touched the stubble man's neck, the Wind Shadow Demon suddenly froze, his pupils dilated, and he knelt to the ground, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably, unable to exert even a fraction of his strength.

Cling! At this moment, the sound of a sword returning to its sheath rang out.

The stubble man slowly turned around and smiled: "You are too weak; you won't be able to go to the Grand Line. Stay in prison and behave yourself."

The Wind Shadow Demon tried to lift his hand that was holding his face, but he couldn't exert any strength at all. His hand tendons had been severed, yet he hadn't even seen the opponent make a move.

He stared fixedly at the stubble man's sword, and in a daze, a name surfaced in his mind.

"You are... Navy Vice Admiral... Onigumo!"
