A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

All the New Yorkers in the bank screamed and immediately dropped to their knees, covering their heads in a practiced manner that was almost heartbreaking.

In New York, this is a basic survival skill; anyone who isn't quick-witted could suffer injuries or even lose their life.

But... compared to New Yorkers, Cao Gui is indeed a bit "sharp-witted".

From the moment the robbers entered until everyone lay down, in the brief moment of surprise, Cao Gui realized that he had become the most eye-catching person in the entire bank.

When everyone's eyes fell on him, Cao Gui's expression changed slightly, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

Actually, Cao Gui can't be blamed for this. After all, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had encountered armed robbers robbing a bank. Any ordinary person in China would be stunned in this situation.

Cao Gui grabbed his card and money and put them into his [system backpack]. Then, mimicking the robber's actions, he covered his head and lay down. However... the robber was not a good-natured person.

"Sang Bichi, do you fucking want to be a hero?!"

An angry robber walked up to Cao Gui, grabbed his hair, and pulled him up from the ground.

"Dude, I was just a little slow to react, I didn't want to cause trouble."

Cao Gui gave a French military salute with both hands flat, enduring the throbbing pain in his scalp as he spoke.

"Cause trouble? You think you're capable of causing trouble?" The robber roared, grabbing Cao Gui's hair. His yellow teeth emitted a foul stench that made Cao Gui's stomach churn.

"FCUK!"

Seeing the look of disgust and forced restraint on Cao Gui's face, the yellow-toothed robber seemed to be provoked into a rage. He suddenly flung Cao Gui's hair aside and kicked him in the stomach.

After stumbling back several steps, Cao Gui barely managed to stop himself. Immediately afterward, a burning pain shot through his abdominal muscles, causing his face to flush red.

Damn robbers!

However, before Cao Gui could recover, the yellow-toothed robber raised his hand and punched him.

Cao Gui instinctively blocked with his right hand while leaning his body backward.

But his current strength is no match for a tall and burly robber.

Snapped!

The robber's fist struck his hand, while the back of his hand hit his nose.

Instantly, a sensation of soreness, pain, numbness, and itching shot from the bridge of his nose straight to his brain, and Cao Gui's tears and nosebleed gushed out.

Cao Gui felt stars flashing before his eyes. His nose wasn't broken, but it was bleeding!

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, you dare to hide?!"

Kara!

The yellow-toothed robber pulled the trigger of his M4 and raised his gun to fire, but the robber leader stopped him.

"Don't kill anyone!"

Robbery is a serious crime, but it doesn't warrant the death penalty. However, if you commit murder, the situation is quite different.

The yellow-toothed robber knew this too, but he wasn't about to let Cao Gui go so easily.

He disengaged the safety, raised the butt of the rifle, and slammed it heavily into Cao Gui's face.

Snapped!

A sharp pain shot through my cheekbone, and the Venus I had just seen reappeared.

Snapped!

A sharp pain shot through his forehead, and a warm liquid flowed down his face and into his eyes. He had been split open!

"Enough, you idiot! He'll die if you keep hitting him!" The bandit leader shouted at the yellow-toothed robber again: "You go get the money, I'll watch them!"

The yellow-toothed robber glared hatefully at Cao Gui, then turned and entered the vault opened by his two companions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic or be afraid. We have no intention of harming you," the gang leader reassured the people lying on the ground.

“We only want the bank’s money and don’t want to hurt anyone. You will not suffer any losses; the government has already bought insurance for you.”

As he spoke, the bandit leader pulled up Cao Gui, whose face was bruised and swollen and covered in blood, and dragged him in front of everyone.

"See this yellow-skinned monkey? This is the negative example for you. Think about your families, think about your children."

"Do your family and children want to see you become like this yellow-skinned monkey?"

As he spoke, the bandit leader grabbed Cao Gui by the back of his collar and dragged him around, showing him off as if he were being paraded through the streets.

The New Yorkers lying on the ground were even more terrified when they saw Cao Gui's miserable state, but this fear was directed at the robbers. As for the man with tears and blood streaming down his face, they were more mocking and laughing, and no one showed any pity.

Cao Gui, panting heavily, wiped away the blood and tears from under his eyelids. His eyes were cold and sinister. He was determined to kill these four robbers!

Even if Jesus came, he couldn't be kept, as the navy said!

Hey~

[Host activates the 'Eliminate Evil' mission module]

What do you do when evil strikes? Eliminate it! Eliminate it! Or fucking eliminate it!

Cao Gui gently closed his eyes, letting the bandit leader drag him along. He needed to prepare himself for the upcoming battle.

……

At this moment, the bank was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was Cao Gui's heavy breathing. The robber leader ignored Cao Gui and paced anxiously.

"Damn it, are you guys done yet?!"

The gang leader roared at the vault, saying that time was precious, every second was money and life, and they could not afford to waste it.

Whoosh—thump!

A large bag of money was thrown in front of the robber leader: "Boss, almost there, just one last bag left to pack!"

The robber leader carried the money on his back; it was incredibly heavy, weighing nearly 20 kilograms. If all the banknotes inside were $100, then this bag of money would be worth at least a million US dollars.

Shortly afterward, the three robbers, each carrying a large bag, ran out of the vault.

"Go! Go! Go!"

The robber leader was overjoyed, but he kept his gun pointed at everyone lying on the ground. He backed up to catch up with his three companions until they were outside the bank, at which point he lowered his guard.

"Alas!"

The four men shouted excitedly and ran towards a black BMW parked on the side of the road, carrying heavy bags of money.

In the driver's seat, a balding man with a receding hairline glanced at the rearview mirror, then thoughtfully opened all three doors to make it easy for the robbers to get in quickly.

Suddenly, the balding man's expression changed. In the rearview mirror, the bank entrance was suddenly pushed open, and a figure ran out carrying a flintlock pistol.

boom!

The huge lead ball shot out with a whoosh. The bald man with the receding hairline only felt a blur before his eyes, and then with a "thud," a red and white mess was stuck to the left rearview mirror.

The robber who ran towards the left rear door swayed twice, then fell headfirst. The balding man with the receding hairline clearly saw that most of his face had been blown off.

After taking down one person with a single shot, Cao Gui didn't try to claim credit and quickly shrank into the inside of a protruding pillar.

Sure enough, with a few loud "crackling" sounds, a series of pebbles flew up from the pillar.

"Shit! Danny's dead!"

"Damn it, stop hitting us, get in the car and get out of here!" the gang leader roared.

"No! He's alone, it's that yellow-skinned monkey, let's take him down!" the yellow-toothed robber shouted. "Cover me! I'll go kill him!"

As he spoke, he moved to the side and opened up the line of fire.

"Shit!" the bandit leader cursed angrily. Disobeying orders? He should have known better than to bring this idiot along!

Bang bang bang!

The robber leader and another man opened fire in succession, pinning Cao Gui to the inside of the protruding pillar. However, Cao Gui had no intention of peeking out to fire.

He understands English and knows the tactical coordination between the two.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Gui calmed himself down, then squatted down and turned the muzzle of his gun to the side. The flintlock sight in the world of One Piece was rudimentary, but at the current engagement distance of about ten meters, it did not affect the accuracy.

Cao Gui's gaze was fixed on the gun barrel when a figure suddenly burst into view—it was the yellow-toothed robber.

Da da da!

A series of bullets struck where Cao Gui's head would have been; if he hadn't crouched down, he would certainly be dead. But now...

boom!

The lead pellet shot out suddenly, hitting the yellow-toothed robber in the right shoulder. The intense pain made him lose his grip on the gun, which flew out of his hand.

Cao Gui frowned; his aim was a little off.

"Ahhh—, damn it, damn it! I've been shot! I've been shot!" the yellow-toothed robber screamed in terror, the excruciating pain from the gunshot wound preventing him from remaining calm.

"Shit!"

The gang leader cursed angrily. If the yellow-toothed robber had died, he would have gotten into the car and left without hesitation. But the other man was only injured and not dead!

In a flash, the robber leader's eyes turned cold, and he turned his gun on the yellow-toothed robber.

"No! Leo, he's using a flintlock pistol; it reloads very slowly!" The yellow-toothed robber, terrified, shouted.

"We can win, as long as he fires a bullet, we'll win!"

The bandit leader paused, briefly recalling the scene before; the other side did indeed seem to be holding a flintlock pistol.

Cao Gui sneered. This sentence sounded exactly like the phrase heard in the teammates' chat: "Completely crippled! Completely crippled!"

But since that's the case, I'll play along.

Raise your gun!

boom!

A cloud of blood mist rose from the left shoulder of the yellow-toothed robber.

"what--!"

"Quick, quick, Leo, now's the time! He's out of bullets!"

"charge!"

The bandit leader gritted his teeth. He led the remaining man out of cover and charged towards Cao Gui's position.

Cao Gui took a deep breath, moved the butt of the rifle from his right shoulder to his left shoulder, and switched the hand that was pulling the trigger to his left hand as well.
