Chapter 15

A middle-aged man beside him said excitedly.

They had all suffered under these pirates for a long time.

Harris hadn't spoken yet.

No one knew who shouted: "Drive these pirates off our island!"

Instantly, the crowd's emotions surged.

"Oh oh oh, get them!"

The onlookers roared in fury and charged together at the pirates whose momentum had already failed.

Wielding pots, bowls, ladles, hoes, and wooden sticks, they swung at the pirates' heads.

The remaining dozen-plus pirates were beaten in an instant like drenched dogs, falling to their knees one after another begging for mercy.

Luo En retreated from the battlefield, and a hand landed on his head.

He turned his head to look—Harris was gazing at him with a face full of smiles.

"Old man."

"Luo En, thank you for saving me."

Luo En scratched his head sheepishly.

"When did this kid of yours get so strong? Truly astonishing, I tell you."

Brian leaned his face in and said.

"Just kept training, and before I knew it…"

Luo En played dumb.

"Harris! Luo En!"

Aunt Mary pushed through the crowd and rushed over, throwing her arms around the two—one big, one small—her face streaming with tears.

"Don't make people worry, you two damned brats!"

"Aunt Mary."

"Mary… don't be like this, so many people are watching."

Harris rubbed his head with his uninjured arm, a little flushed.

…………

"Bring rope, tie them up!"

A moment later.

All the pirates had been bound.

The leader, Si Mo Yati, was already unrecognizable—his entire head swollen to twice its size, no longer looking human.

When he woke up, he still stubbornly talked tough: "You people did this, don't think it's over. I'm a subordinate of that Evil Dragon my lord. Offend that my lord, and you can just wait to die."

Luo En listened, his eyes shifting slightly.

Evil Dragon…

Could it be…

"Evil Dragon… could it be that Evil Dragon Pirate Crew?"

Someone said in a terrified tone.

"No way."

"Hah-ge-ge-ge, that's exactly the Evil Dragon Pirate Crew!" Si Mo Yati let out a sinister laugh, "That Evil Dragon my lord is a big shot with a bounty of 20 million Berries! Offend him, and you…"

Sssst.

A stream of water sprayed onto his head.

"What the—?! Ah! So spicy, so spicy, my eyes, my eyes!!"

Si Mo Yati screamed in agony.

"The chili water gun Ma Ersi and I made together—how does it taste?"

Luo En raised the water gun in his hand, and his childish voice rang in everyone's ears.

The crowd stared at him blankly.

He raised his hand, and several streams of water sprayed toward the pirates.

Pew pew pew pew—

"Ah!!!

"My eyes!"

"So spicy, so spicy, so spicy!"

"Aaaaaah!!"

"Stop! Ah!!!"

The townsfolk watching the pirates' miserable state couldn't help feeling a chill.

"This child… is he a demon?"

A neatly dressed man wearing glasses shouted loudly from within the crowd:

"Stop!"

The surrounding people all looked at him, and Luo En also turned to look at him.

The whole scene fell silent.

That well-dressed man with gold-rimmed glasses burst out of the crowd, appearing extremely furious as he roared at Luo En:

"Do you understand the situation at all?! The ones you've offended are the biggest Evil Dragon Pirate Crew in the entire East Sea! Have you thought about the consequences?!"

"Our little town, even the entire island's people, will be finished because of you little brat and your impulsiveness! Are you trying to kill us, to doom this island?!"

8. In the hearts of ordinary people, good and evil lie hidden. (8/10)

The entire venue fell silent in an instant.

"That's right, we've offended that Evil Dragon Pirate Crew—what are we going to do?"

"We're done for now."

"I don't want to die!"

"It's all their fault, they didn't think about the consequences at all."

"I know that guy, I think he used to be a mountain bandit."

"A mountain bandit…"

The crowd instantly turned their spears toward Luo En, Harris, and the others.

The people beside them also stepped away.

Instantly isolated.

"Now the only way is to drive them all away, drive them off our little island—only then can we avoid offending the Evil Dragon Pirate Crew, only then can we keep living peacefully on this little island!"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses whipped up the crowd.

"That's right, it's them who offended the Evil Dragon Pirate Crew—just drive them away, won't that do it?"

"Come to think of it, it's all their doing, why should we suffer too?"

"Get off our island!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

The slogans were startlingly uniform.

Harris and the others all clenched their fists, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness swelling in their chests.

"Everyone…"

The old tavern owner tried to speak up for them, but his voice was drowned out.

"Hehehehe."

Smoya, his eyes swollen and red, let out a proud, wild laugh. "Little brat, you see now? This is what happens when you offend us!"

Biu!

Another spray of chili water landed on the wound on his face, and the excruciating pain instantly sent him rolling and screaming.

"Just take it as if I did it all."

Luo En, with his back to the crowd, spoke.
