Pirates of the Navy

Chapter 22
When Long Yi set foot on the nameless island, the ground was full of mess.

After wandering for a whole day and night, he was one step late after all, and missed those pirates who had already sailed.

Turning over the ashes left by the pirates, Long Yi frowned.

The ashes still had a little bit of warmth, indicating that the Belik Pirates hadn't left for a long time.But Long Yi didn't dare to catch up hastily, because he didn't know the direction those pirates left.

"hateful!"

Long Yi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, his eyes were bloodshot, he tightly clenched his fists, the unwillingness in his heart almost rushed out of his chest.

Standing on the messy beach, he felt lost.

Beihai is so big, if he misses this opportunity, where should he go to find Belik?
"Whoo~"

The sea breeze blew gently, Long Yi exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and closed his eyes deeply.

"Snapped."

Just as he was waiting to calm down and was about to give up looking for Belik with a wry smile, something suddenly blew to his feet, making a slight sound.

Long Yi was taken aback, and subconsciously opened his eyes.Taking a closer look, I found that the thing at my feet was a dilapidated chart.

"This is... a sea chart?"

Talking to himself, he picked up the chart, and the big red mark on it instantly caught Long Yi's eyes.

Seeing the big cross mark, his heart tightened for no reason, and his breathing became short of breath.

Staring intently at the sign, the young man on the beach whispered the name of the place.

"Guya Village."

"Please, don't let anything happen!"

Long Yi, who hurriedly left from the nameless island, immediately followed the guidance of the sea chart to the so-called Guya Village.

Looking at the sea level ahead, Long Yi's face was full of tiredness, the long time sailing had already made his spirit reach the limit.But he still didn't dare to relax, for fear that because of his fatigue, he would miss the opportunity to block the Belik Pirates again.

"My boat is small and fast! It should be able to reach Guya Village before the Belik fleet."

Imagining the sailing speed and departure time of Belik's fleet, Long Yi felt that he should still be in time.

No matter what, he could no longer just watch a village being murdered by Belik again.Mosmar Village has become an eternal pain in his heart, and he doesn't want others to feel the same pain as him.

In order to lighten the load on the boat and increase the speed of the sailing boat, Long Yi threw away all the food and fresh water without hesitation, leaving only his sidearms and the backpack that Karp gave him before leaving.

Flipping out the coat from the bag, Long Yi lightly stroked the word "justice" on the back of the coat, a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Belik, I will definitely stop you this time!"

Gritting his teeth firmly, Long threw his backpack off the boat and put his coat on his body.Although the jacket was very light, he somehow felt that it seemed to have a little more weight on him.

That feeling is called responsibility.

Guya Village, a small seaside village that lives by fishing and hunting.

It is located in a remote place, and it takes at least an hour's walk from the nearest port town.Although life is poor, the villagers are very happy, because there is nothing more satisfying than a peaceful life.

Especially recently, after the young people in the village brought back a strange fruit in the depths of the forest, the smiles on the faces of the villagers grew even more.

According to the village chief who went to sea when he was young, that strange fruit is called "devil fruit", which is a secret treasure of the sea and is priceless.

After some discussion, the villagers decided to sell the devil fruit and use the money to improve the lives of the villagers.It's just that more than ten days have passed, and the village chief still hasn't been able to negotiate with the representative of the navy, and he has kept the fruit and hasn't been able to sell it, which makes the villagers feel a little regretful.

On this day, the villagers were still busy with their own affairs as usual, but the appearance of a young man broke their peaceful life.

"Ahem, cough, it seems that I caught up this time."

After coughing a few times, Long's eyes were full of deep exhaustion.

After another two days and nights of sleepless sailing, he finally arrived at Guya Village marked on the map before Bellik.

"We need to warn those villagers quickly."

Under the severe water shortage and extreme weakness, Long Yi's consciousness was a little trance.But he always remembered his purpose of coming here, he had to tell the villagers that the Belik Pirates were coming.

"Hurry up and run away! Pirates are about to attack here!"

With a hoarse voice, Long Yi ran towards Guya Village, but the moment he stepped into Guya Village, his feet stepped on the ground and he fell forward.

"ah!"

A few villagers who were posting nets at the entrance of the village saw them, screamed, and hurried to Long Yi.After seeing his sallow face and chapped lips, they all turned pale with fright and shouted hastily.

"Hey, get some water! The kid is dehydrated!"

Lying on the ground, Long Yi's consciousness began to blur, he made up his mind, bit the tip of his tongue, and only then regained consciousness.

Relying on the strong will brought by his practice, he grabbed a villager's trouser leg.

"Uncle, run away, the pirates are coming!"

Hearing Long Yi's words, those villagers were taken aback.After looking at each other, the villager uncle knelt down, gently patted Long Yi's back, and comforted him not to move, the water will come soon.

The kind actions of the villagers made the current Long Yi very anxious, he rushed here without sleep, not to beg for saliva.Belik's fleet will arrive at some point, and with the habits of those pirates, there will be no survivors left in this small village.

Struggling to get up, spitting out the blood from his mouth.Long Yi planned to forcefully push those villagers away, but the feeling of weakness and powerlessness came over him, which almost made him fall down again.

Just when Long Yi and those well-meaning villagers were in a stalemate, the villagers who had just gone back to fetch water rushed back.Beside him, followed by a rather old bearded old man.

"Water is coming! Water is coming!"

Handing the earthen pot in the water to Long Yi, Long Yi was anxious and didn't know where to start.Looking at these villagers, he stomped his feet fiercely, and then took a big gulp of water from the crock.

The body that had not been moistened by water for a long time gradually improved, and after coughing violently for a while, Long Yi finally relieved the feeling of weakness.

"Run! Belik's pirate group is coming!"

After his physical condition improved slightly, Long Yi began to urge those villagers to take refuge quickly.He wouldn't naively think that the red cross marked by the pirates on the chart was just for fun.

Seeing that Long Yi's expression didn't look fake, the attitude of those villagers began to waver.Just when they wanted to ask Long Yi further, that bearded old man suddenly stared, and ruthlessly struck the walking stick in his hand.

"Hmph! It's you greedy navy again! The price was not agreed last time, and now you are going to play tricks to deceive us again!"

This bearded old man with a cane is the village head of Guya Village.

After selling the devil fruit to the navy to no avail last time, he was worried that he would be spied on with the treasure in hand.I didn't expect that there would be an evil person waiting here today.

"Stop acting, you brat can't fool me! You want to use our sympathy to trick us out of the village, and then you take the opportunity to steal our treasures, hehe, that's a good idea!"

The bearded old man had an expression of "You can't hide it from me", which confused Long Yi.He didn't understand what the old man was talking about at all. To make trouble at this time was simply playing with the lives of these villagers.

"Old man, what I said is true. This is the sea chart left by the Belik Pirates. This village has been marked. You are in danger!"

Long Yi jumped anxiously, but there was not much time to explain at this time, the Belik Pirates were on their way, and now every minute and every second seemed precious.

"Hehe, kid, if you want to fool me with such a trick, next time you should take off your uniform first."

The bearded old man stroked his beard, his eyes full of pride.When he was young, he also traveled all over the world with merchant ships, and he had already seen the shameless face of the navy.If you want to trick him away with such an excuse, there is no way!
"Damn it! I'm telling the truth!"

Looking at the smug bearded old man, Long Yi was a little bit crazy.This stubborn old man has already identified him as a spy sent by the navy to seize their treasures, and he does not believe what he said.

The village head is the absolute authority in the village, after hearing what he said, the simple villagers looked at Long Yi with a different look.He even pointed at him and muttered something like "you don't learn well at a young age".

"I"

The reactions of these villagers made Long Yi extremely chilled, under the combination of anger and anger, he was a little speechless.

"roll!"

Finally, dissatisfaction turned into action.The villagers roared angrily, they no longer regarded Long Yi as a child, but as a liar, a thief trying to steal treasure.

"Get out!"

"The treasure is ours!"

"Liars are not welcome in Guya Village!"

While shouting, those villagers began to pick up stones from the ground and threw them at Long Yi.

Looking at the flying stones, Long Yi's heart was shaken.He didn't know what he did wrong at all, obviously he just wanted to avoid the tragedy from happening again, so why did it become like this.
The speed of the stone is not worth mentioning, Longben could easily dodge it, but at this moment, he lost the mood to dodge.

His heart was disturbed.

A stone flew over, with a "bang", Long Yi's forehead was hit by the stone, cutting a hole.

He didn't respond, he just stared blankly at the villagers who threw stones at him.Wordless grief spread in my heart.

After seeing Long Yi's blood, those villagers seemed to suddenly remember that Long Yi was just a child.They stopped what they were doing in a daze, looking a little at a loss.

"Look, what is that?!"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed villager suddenly discovered a large sailboat on the sea not far away.

The ship was flying a black flag, and on the huge sails, there was also a skull with a blindfold printed on it.

"Haihai. Pirate!"

The villagers who recognized the pirate ship were dumbfounded, and then they suddenly remembered what Long Yi had been telling them since he arrived.

The appearance of the pirate ship frightened the villagers, and naturally they would not escape Long Yi's eyes.After casually wiping the blood on his face with the back of his hand, he turned around slowly, ignoring the villagers.

"wait wait wait!"

Before Long Yi took two steps, the bearded village chief with a pale face called him to a stop.

Long Yi turned around, and calmly looked at the village head who was fighting with both legs, neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.

"Little devil. No! Child, where are you going?"

Hearing the village chief's question, Long Yi didn't answer, but silently drew out the samurai sword from his waist, and pointed the blade at the pirate ship over there.

"Don't you want to fight the pirates alone?! But just now... who are you!"

Feelings of guilt filled the heart of the village head, but the kind reminder was treated mercilessly.

They kept blaming Long Yi for being a liar and a villain, but now, the villain they spoke of was planning to face the upcoming pirates alone.

"Me... Hehe, I'm a Navy third class, Long Yi."

Smiling lightly, Long Yi turned and left with slow and heavy steps.

Under the sun, the word "justice" on his back was deeply imprinted in the eyes of these villagers.

Those two words were carried on the boy's back, as heavy as a mountain.
