Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"Hey everyone, have you heard? That pirate butcher, Christian Rory, has come to Loguetown."

The tavern was filled with menacing-looking people.

In the corner, a one-eyed man, clearly a pirate, was sharing the latest news with his companions in a low voice.

"Really? Are you sure it's that butcher?"

His companion's voice trembled slightly upon hearing the name.

Christine Rowley.

A rising star in the navy.

While in the East Blue, he forced all pirates to bypass the patrol area of ​​his naval branch and transfer to the North Blue, effectively compelling the North Blue mafia to obey his orders and fight pirates according to his rules.

Pirates in the North Blue are living a life worse than death. Most pirates only briefly resupply in the North Blue before leaving.

They were afraid that if they stayed on the island for too long, the mafia would stop them and kill them.

It's worth noting that Raleigh offered the Mafia a very high price. Besides the World Government's bounty for the pirates' heads, the Navy only wanted half of the pirates' wealth.

This leads to the mafia being even more eager to encounter pirates than the navy.

Moreover, because the Don Quixote family unified the underground forces in the North Sea, most of the Mafia, which were originally scattered like sand, were united into one force.

They even formed a so-called pirate extermination organization. Whenever they discovered a large pirate crew, they would call upon their allies and swarm them, tearing them to shreds.

Raleigh himself killed the legendary pirate Bon Dewald while serving in the North Blue, and was quickly transferred to the Grand Line for this achievement.

Raleigh, a dominant pirate crew renowned throughout the New World, participated in the annihilation plan of the Golden Lion Flying Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

He even personally participated in the battles that killed two legendary pirates.

In addition, Raleigh killed a large number of promising young pirates, which at one point made his name surpass that of many veteran vice admirals.

Now, even the pirates tremble from the bottom of their hearts when they hear Raleigh's voice.

One-Eyed Dragon took a big gulp of alcohol, using it to numb his brain and avoid his fear of Raleigh.

"Would I lie to you? It's all over the place now. His warship is docked in the harbor, and many people saw him disembark."

The alcohol had a powerful effect, and the one-eyed man's voice, which he had been trying to keep low, became louder.

This allowed the others in the tavern to hear the news of Raleigh's arrival.

hiss.

Most of the pirates gasped in unison.

They never imagined that simply wanting to watch the excitement would lead them to run into this ruthless figure.

Immediately, many people in the tavern began to have second thoughts. It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that they were hesitant.

Besides, there's not much difference between watching it live and watching it on stream, right?

All they want now is to get out of Loguetown, the eye of the storm.

However, some stubborn pirates didn't believe it.

It's understandable. Just like everyone knows that artillery shells can kill people, but there are always some people who stubbornly refuse to believe that artillery shells can kill them.

Sure enough, a few hotheads who had come all the way from the South China Sea started to speak up:

"What, Raleigh? Who does he think he is?"

"In front of our boss, they are all just defeated opponents. The reason he is famous is because he has not met our boss. Otherwise, his undefeated myth would have been broken long ago."

Their leader, the burly man sitting in the middle, was quite pleased.

From the moment he set sail, everything went smoothly.

No one in the navy dared to confront him directly, and in order to prove his strength, he also attacked several naval branches.

Although they didn't completely defeat him, the navy suffered heavy losses. From then on, the navy in the South China Sea dared not approach his pirate crew, which also fostered the pirate leader's arrogant and domineering personality.

In fact, most pirates are like this; they never encounter any decent opponents when they are at sea.

Only those who have reached a certain level of strength will choose to enter the Grand Line. (Just like the Krieg Pirates.)

Only by entering the Grand Line can they realize their own insignificance.

Geniuses from small places are as numerous as carp crossing a river on the Grand Line.

In the latter half of the new world, even geniuses only have the qualifications to challenge them.

The pirates in the tavern were taken aback. They hadn't expected that there would be someone unafraid of the Pirate Butcher's reputation. However, when they looked over and realized they didn't recognize him at all, they understood that this was yet another newcomer who had popped out of nowhere.

The pirates silently withdrew their lights. If this were anywhere else, a newcomer like this would definitely need to be taught a lesson to show him the true value of the Grand Line.

However, considering that Raleigh was in Loguetown, everyone agreed not to make a big deal out of it.

Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, the pirate captain lost face. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted:

I really don't understand why someone's name could scare you all like this.

"Do you guys even have the guts to be pirates? If you're so cowardly, you might as well go home and farm."

Hahahahaha.

The pirate captain's supposedly humorous remark made his crew burst into laughter.

Aside from the other pirates whose gazes were already somewhat hostile.

"Well done, boss!"

They've all been through the wringer; he's no different from anyone else.

"Heh, you cowards! Just wait until the Blood Wolf Pirates reach the Grand Line, then you'd better hope you don't run into us."

The pirate captain's men began to sing in unison, praising their already arrogant pirate leader.

The rum and his subordinates' flattery drove the pirate captain to complete madness. He waved his hand and said:

"That Marine named Raleigh better not show his face in front of me, otherwise..."

"What else can we do?"

An unusually cold voice rang out from outside the door.

With a creaking sound, the tavern door was opened from the outside.

A tall, handsome man walked in. However, his face was covered with an unyielding layer of ice, and his eyes were icy cold.

The other pirates in the tavern only glanced at him, and their legs trembled. They wished they could bury their heads under the table. The pirates farther from the door had already begun to tense their muscles, preparing to run away at any moment.

Although they knew their chances of escaping from this pirate butcher were slim, who would willingly choose to die if they could live?

Now they can only pray that this scoundrel will be in a better mood and not go on a killing spree in the tavern.

Some of the pirates were so frightened by Raleigh that they wanted to surrender, and cold sweat kept pouring from their foreheads.

The pirate captain who had just uttered those outrageous words was now sweating profusely, his brain, previously numbed by alcohol, clearing up. He realized what he had just said, and his face turned deathly pale.

Raleigh walked to the table next to the pirate captain as if no one else was there. Before he could even speak, the pirates at that table had already stood up and moved aside.

One pirate even wiped the bench several times with his own clothes.

Raleigh didn't say anything, but sat down on his own. The sensible pirate immediately brought Raleigh a clean glass and opened a new bottle of rum, filling it to his full capacity.

There was absolutely nothing inappropriate about his attitude.

Raleigh nodded, gesturing for them to stand at the back, then turned to the pirate captain and said:

"What did you just say?"

"What would happen if I appeared in front of you?"

The once arrogant and domineering pirate captain was now as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant, utterly dejected.

He sat there blankly, not daring to utter a sound.

Raleigh added:

Even if you don't say it, I know what you're thinking.

"It's just that I thought Loguetown was so big, I wouldn't just happen to be in this tavern. As a newcomer, you have to put on a show in front of others, right?"

But let me tell you a truth: sometimes, pretending can be deadly, especially when you lack the ability.

Just like now, your words have reached my ears, so you are going to die here.

The pirate captain was completely slumped on the table.

Before meeting Raleigh, he always thought that Raleigh was no different from the South China Sea navy.

The South China Sea Naval Admiral is also a Vice Admiral, and so is Rowley, so there is no difference between them.

If he dares to provoke the South China Sea Naval Admiral, then he naturally dares to provoke Rowley as well.

But when Raleigh actually appeared in front of him, he realized that there were differences even among lieutenant generals.

Raleigh did nothing; his mere presence was enough to keep Raleigh from moving.

Raleigh picked up the freshly poured rum, downed it in one gulp, and then looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

The pirate standing nearby saw that Raleigh's glass was empty, and immediately suppressed his fear and refilled it.

"throat."

A sigh echoed through all the pirates in the tavern.

"Since we've met, I'll give you a grand gift: let's celebrate the death of Gol D. Roger with your heads!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's pupils dilated suddenly.

"escape!"

That was the only thought in their minds.

As for going head-to-head with Raleigh...

Stop joking around. They're not greenhorns who've just set sail; they all know what's important.

Chaos erupted inside the tavern, with tables and chairs overturned.

A chaotic mess of clanging and banging.

Some of the pirates jumped to the back of the bar, intending to escape through the kitchen, while others crashed into the windows.

No one ever thought of running out the door.

That's it.

That was the sound of a famous sword being drawn from its sheath, and also the sound of it slicing through a human body.

Raleigh remained seated, but his right hand was already gripping Mikazuki Munechika, slashing out in all directions.

He didn't even need to get up from where he was to deal with these pirates who weren't even at the admiral level.

The sword's edge alone is enough.

Limbs were flying everywhere in the tavern, and a strong smell of blood filled the entire place.

Those who tried to escape, resist, or hide, no matter where they were, could not escape that deadly sword light.

After slashing his sword, Raleigh stopped looking at the pirates around him and picked up his wine glass again to finish his drink.

When Gion led the Marines into the tavern, they saw limbs and pirate heads scattered everywhere, each with wide-open eyes, seemingly not expecting to die so easily in this place.

Besides Rory, who was drinking, there were three other young seashell thieves inside the tavern, trembling and somewhat incontinent. "What should we do with these corpses?"

Gion, having also emerged from the bloodbath of Toyama in the North Sea, wouldn't be so easily overwhelmed by this scene.

However, the few Loguetown naval soldiers following behind her couldn't help but vomit.

"Feed the dogs with the pirate corpses, and store their heads to make a mound of skulls."

"After Roger is beheaded, I want to place Roger's head on top of the mound of skulls."

"Rolly said calmly, then glanced warily at the pirate standing to the side, and said in a deep voice:"

The three of you have no blood on your hands, and you all have good judgment.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't kill any of you. Go to the Navy branch in Loguetown and turn yourselves in, then go to jail to serve your sentences."

Upon hearing this, the pirates were immediately moved to tears. Ever since they had survived being killed by Raleigh, they had harbored a secret hope that Raleigh would not kill them.

When Raleigh said he wouldn't kill them, they were all moved to tears and knelt down to kowtow to Raleigh in gratitude.

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Rowley, for sparing my life."

Honestly, they had already made up their minds to say goodbye to their pirate careers for good.

Whether they starve to death or are killed by other pirates, they will never be pirates again, because they are really afraid that their heads will end up on the Jingguan (a mound of corpses) as decorations.

After they got up, they quickly ran to the naval branch in Loguetown to turn themselves in.

They weren't afraid that Raleigh would break his promise, but rather that he genuinely wanted to change his ways.

"Raleigh, the investigation is almost complete. Over three thousand pirates have arrived in Loguetown, including those from the Grand Line and the Four Seas."

Gion took out the intelligence she had and intended to give it to Raleigh.

Raleigh didn't take it; instead, he poured a glass of wine for Yuan and said:

"The drinks here are good, want to try some?"

Gion picked up her wine glass and sat down next to Raleigh to drink with him.

While Raleigh was drinking, the marines he led and the marines of Loguetown had joined forces and begun a one-sided massacre of the pirates who entered Loguetown.

Of course, there were also many powerful pirates who were not killed or captured by the Navy soldiers.

This includes a Shichibukai with a missing hand and an arrogant Shichibukai.

The tall and imposing Gecko Moria.

The Revolutionary Army's leader, Dragon, and the Shanks and Bucky brothers were not discovered by the Navy.

With their skill level, they were naturally able to evade searches by ordinary naval soldiers.

Even so, they gained a new understanding of Raleigh's ruthless methods.

Long couldn't help but sigh: Compared to when they were in Beihai, his junior brother's methods have become even more ruthless and merciless.

This instilled a strong sense of crisis in the dragon.

Although his revolutionary army has not yet clashed with the navy, according to Dragon's revolutionary theories, if he wants to reform the world, the navy is an obstacle he can never avoid.

How to deal with the monster Raleigh has become a major headache for the dragon head.

Shanks and Bucky watched in horror as the Navy carried out bodies and truckloads of heads one after another in the street.

Bucky was so frightened that he trembled with fear:

Shanks, I feel like it's dangerous here. Let's get out of here.

Although Shanks was pale, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

"No, Bucky, we must see Captain Roger off on his final journey."

"Besides, even if we leave Loguetown now, we'll be targeted by the Navy, because those who are fleeing Loguetown now are mostly pirates."

After hearing this, Bucky couldn't help but clutch his head.

He now only hopes to escape with his life from Loguetown.

Raleigh would naturally not let go of the pursuit of Shanks, but for some reason, he couldn't find any information about Shanks and Buggy in Loguetown.

After ruling out most factors, Raleigh believed that Shanks and his crew had help in the Navy!
