Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

The raging sea wind was like a raging ancient beast.

It tore the straw hat boy's ridiculously cheesy declaration to shreds.

But that arrogant and domineering spirit clearly permeated the entire deck of the peacekeeping cruiser.

On the three-masted wooden sailboat opposite, deafening cheers immediately erupted.

The pirates' fervor was instantly ignited by the storm.

A swordsman with a green seaweed-like hairstyle and three samurai swords at his waist suddenly leaped onto the railing at the bow of the ship.

He had a gleaming blade between his teeth, and his eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty beast.

He stared intently at the cruiser's impregnable steel deck, radiating a menacing aura.

A blond man was standing next to him.

He was wearing a sharp black suit and smoking leather shoes.

In the midst of a raging storm, he leisurely lit a cigarette.

"The captain has given the order to prepare to board and rob the ship."

The blond man's voice was filled with nonchalant arrogance, as if the person opposite him was not a warship, but a merchant ship that was powerless to resist.

Immediately afterwards, a group of strangely dressed pirates drew their muskets and scimitars.

They howled like a pack of mad hyenas on the deck, their arrogance reaching its peak.

Faced with this declaration of crime, which is full of magical realism.

Zhao Tiezhu, holding the heavy Gatling gun, was completely dumbfounded.

The bald, burly man touched his wet head, his face contorted into a huge question mark.

"Wait, did these bastards escape from a mental hospital when the walls collapsed?"

Zhao Tiezhu, in a rough voice, couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Robbery is robbery, why make it sound so refined and unconventional?"

"Does he really think he's some kind of action-packed manga protagonist? Playing house on the high seas like this?"

Su Xiaoxiao clung tightly to the tactical control console.

The red light on the screen illuminated the girl's face, which was flushed with anger.

"Brother Tiezhu, these guys aren't some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers."

The girl's slender fingers flew across the waterproof keyboard, bringing up a top-secret file.

"They are genuine international fugitives, each with a blood debt on their hands!"

Su Xiaoxiao synchronized the crime records in the Skynet system to the public channel.

"That green-haired swordsman is suspected of maliciously damaging three Togolese cargo ships on the high seas."

"The reason was simply that he got lost and was in a bad mood!"

"And that blond cook, he just kicked up the radar station of some island nation's naval base last month."

"The reason? The base's canteen didn't provide him with fresh ingredients!"

Upon hearing these absurd criminal motives, Bruce frowned deeply.

The Dark Knight pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

The red light on his body camera flashed coldly in the dark, torrential rain.

"Sir, according to Gotham City's criminal psychology analysis model..."

Bruce's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

"These criminal gangs, immersed in their own fantasies, are even harder to deal with than madmen like the Joker."

"Because they lack basic moral principles and act entirely on a distorted animal instinct."

"In their minds, robbery and destruction are the legitimate ways to pursue dreams."

Lu Jingyan still had one hand in his pocket, his posture as upright as a pine tree.

A faint blue light of order flickered in the man's deep eyes.

Faced with this anti-intellectual criminal gang, he didn't even have the urge to draw his gun.

In the realm of absolute rationality, this chaotic second was stretched out infinitely.

0.1 second.

Lu Jingyan keenly sensed the changing direction of the salty water vapor in the sea breeze.

He accurately determined that the waterline of the enemy's wooden sailboat was undergoing a change that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

That was a physical precursor to a large-scale boarding operation.

0.2 seconds.

His gaze pierced through the heavy rain.

They locked onto the straw-hatted boy who was swaggering atop the cruiser's main gun turret.

The boy's heart rate remained dangerously high, and the subcutaneous capillaries were on the verge of dilation.

0.5 seconds.

Lu Jingyan's slender fingers steadily emerged from the pocket of his trench coat.

He calmly picked up the military-grade high-frequency loudspeaker fixed next to the control panel.

0.8 seconds.

The man freed his left hand and slowly pulled out the waterproof law book from his pocket.

It ended in one second.

The cold megaphone was pressed close to Lu Jingyan's face, which showed no emotion whatsoever.

"Peacekeeping fleet, please note: reduce searchlight brightness to level three."

Lu Jingyan's orders were calm and restrained, revealing absolute control.

"Immediately switch to tactical strobe mode."

With a "whoosh" sound.

The originally blinding white searchlights instantly turned into high-frequency flashing bright light.

This terrifying optical suppression caused the pirates on the other side to instinctively close their eyes.

They let out cries of pain, and the boarding process was forced to stop.

The straw-hatted boy standing on the turret had no choice but to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

But he kept shouting loudly, showing no sign of feeling guilty whatsoever.

"Despicable navy! What kind of skill is it to use such blinding lights!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you fight us for real!"

Lu Jingyan pressed the call button on the loudspeaker.

The voice, carrying an air of authority and pressure, instantly resounded throughout the raging sea.

"You are now facing unregistered, illegally armed vessels ahead."

"This is the highest level of security warning issued by the United Nations peacekeeping forces."

"What you call a romantic adventure is within the framework of the rule of law in modern human civilization."

"It was nothing more than a crude and ignorant violent robbery."

Lu Jingyan opened the thick agreement.

The fingers, with their distinct knuckles, landed precisely on one of the densely packed legal provisions.

"According to the relevant interpretation of Article 101 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."

"The crew of any private vessel, for private purposes."

"Any unlawful acts of violence, detention or plunder against another vessel on the high seas."

"Collectively referred to as piracy."

The man's voice was like a thunderous judgment from the heavens.

Every word and phrase crashed against the raging waves, carrying an undeniable authority.

"This has nothing to do with the pursuit of freedom."

"This is a blatant violation of human rights and a serious crime against humanity that undermines the international trade order."

"Within the basic framework of international jurisprudence, piracy is defined as an enemy of all mankind."

Lu Jingyan abruptly closed the law book.

The covers collided with a dull thud, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

"When dealing with an enemy of all mankind, there's no need to follow any rules of the game."

"Any country, any legitimate armed warship."

"They all have the right to indiscriminately arrest you by force on the high seas, or even to sink you directly."

This is a perfectly crafted declaration of international law.

This completely stunned the group of enthusiastic pirates on the other side.

The green-haired swordsman chewed the hilt of his sword into pieces and turned his head in utter bewilderment.

"Hey, curly eyebrows."

"What is that guy in black chanting? I can't understand a single word!"

The blond chef exhaled a smoke ring dampened by the rain.

His usual composure, which he was most proud of, now turned into a look of utter disbelief.

"have no idea."

"It sounds like some kind of vicious curse specifically designed to afflict us seafaring heroes."

Zhao Tiezhu stood to the side, slapping his thigh with glee, his laughter deafening.

"Hahaha! The director's move of using a dimensional reduction attack is absolutely brilliant!"

"Explaining international law to a group of illiterate people who haven't even completed nine years of compulsory education."

"This is a million times worse than just shooting them with a Gatling gun!"

However, the straw-hatted boy was standing on the cruiser's main gun turret.

But at this moment, he completely lost his patience.

Those tedious legal provisions made him feel like tens of thousands of flies were buzzing in his ears.

His already low IQ was completely overwhelmed by Lu Jingyan's logic.

"Stop nagging me!"

"I don't care about any bullshit conventions! I want treasure! I want to eat meat!"

The boy roared angrily, like a spoiled child whose favorite toy had been taken away.

He bent his knees slightly and used the metal shell of the turret to exert force.

"Rubber, rubber—"

The boy's right arm emitted another eerie, chilling sound of muscles stretching.

That arm, covered in bulging veins, was like a powerful spring launched to its limit.

It stretched wildly forward in the storm.

Accompanied by the whistling sound of wind cutting through the air.

The rubber hand reached straight for the radar antenna at the top of the cruiser's conning tower.

He attempted to forcibly destroy the warship's communication system using this most barbaric and primitive method.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered her head and squatted down.

Bruce quickly drew the high-voltage stun gun from his waist.

The red crosshairs on the tactical goggles were locked onto the incoming arm.

But Lu Jingyan didn't even flinch.

The man simply stood there quietly, coldly watching the hand that defied the laws of physics.

The boy in the straw hat ignored him completely, stretching out his arm to grab the warship. Lu Jingyan's eyes turned cold: "Since you won't listen to advice, then enjoy the baptism of cannon fire."
