"What happened over there? Did it explode?" Master Nuoqi shaded her eyes and looked carefully.

"Don't you think this might be related to my brother?" Nami asked, squinting as if she had thought of something.

“Even if he was, my brother was probably saving someone!” Eileen nodded and voiced her thoughts.

Then he waved his hand and laughed, "Oh, who cares? Nobody here can stump me! Let's go shopping after we go downstairs! I heard the clothes here are really nice. Let's each get one, it's on me!"

"Yay!! Sister Eileen, I love you! Hehe..." Nami cheered.

……

Area 13.

Rayleigh rubbed his forehead and looked in the direction of Area 1.

"So, things really did turn out badly after all?" Rayleigh shook his head with a wry smile and stood up.

Xia Qi, leaning against the door, flicked her cigarette ash with a smile: "Young people are always full of energy, that's great!"

Rayleigh lowered his hand and said calmly, "I'm just afraid his energy is too much..."

"Oh?" Shirley put the cigarette back in her mouth, a smirk playing on her lips. "Don't you trust your apprentice a lot? Do you think anyone over there can keep him here?"

“That shouldn’t be the case…” Remer stroked his chin and pondered, “I just don’t know if any particularly powerful figures have joined the pirates recently.”

"A pirate area? No, it's all small fry." The intelligence officer, Xia Qi, shook her head.

……

At this moment, Norton had led everyone to Area 8. Beyond Area 8 was Area 13, which was relatively stable.

However, this area number eight doesn't seem to be very peaceful.

Area 8 is where Pittman's base is located; this guy is a notorious human trafficker.

The human trafficking and auction houses in Area One were merely his businesses.

Now that their own businesses have been attacked, they have responded.

But why haven't the hundred or so people we sent out responded yet?

"A bunch of useless trash!" Pittman, who appeared at the gate, cursed angrily while smoking a cigar, and was about to personally lead the charge.

But as soon as they turned around, they saw Norton and his group walking leisurely past them.

Pittman's face instantly turned extremely grim. He pointed at them and shouted, "Go! Take them down!"

"Yes!"

The group of thugs behind him immediately rushed forward.

"Huh? That's not right! I already made you wear masks, so how did we still get caught?" Norton stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

The long-legged and long-armed tribesmen exchanged wry smiles, looked at their own physical characteristics, and then at the unique appearances of the mermaids and fish-men. They were all speechless.

Can we blame them?

The face is covered, but what about the body features?

Wouldn't anyone with eyes be able to recognize that?

In addition, today's auction list, as well as the "goods," were originally shipped from here, so Pittman certainly knew roughly what was included.

"What a nuisance. I should have brought Eileen with me." With a smirk, Norton returned to the group, his eyes flashing as he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

hum-

A flash of golden light streaked past, instantly killing and stunning all the small fry in front of it.

To Norton's surprise, Pittman and the two tall, strong men gritted their teeth and persevered through the sweat.

"Hey! Looks like there are a few with some real strength here!" Norton flashed in front of Pittman.

"I……"

"boom--"

Just as Pittman was about to say "I give up," Norton kicked him away.

"boss!"

"Damn it, kill him!"

Upon seeing this, the two burly men roared and threw punches.

"Tch, a fight isn't about who shouts the loudest. What a noisy bunch!"

Norton ducked to avoid two punches, braced himself with his left hand, and kicked the two men on either side of him with both feet at the same time.

"Bang bang..."

"what--"

Amid screams, the two burly men were kicked away by Norton.

"Tch! Let's go!"

Norton stood up straight again, raised his hand and pointed a gun at Pittman, not caring whether he was dead or alive, and left with his men.

Is Pittman dead?

Clearly, he's not dead!

Once Norton and the others were out of sight, Pittman, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, propped himself up and reached into his pocket to pull out a breastplate.

Couldn't you have told me before writing Chapter 109?!

"Thank goodness I have it..."

As someone who often walks along the riverbank, Pittman has always been on guard, for example, he always carries a breastplate hidden in his chest.

"Whoever you are! You'd better never let me see you again, otherwise..."

Pittman threw the deformed breastplate in his hand forcefully toward Norton, wanting to say something more harsh.

Boom boom boom boom...

However, the breastplate had just landed when it seemed to hit something, triggering a series of explosions.

Pittman was at the epicenter of the explosion, and was immediately blown away, exhaling a puff of black smoke before collapsing to the ground.

Norton is known for his ability to cause explosions wherever he goes.

Along the way, three explosions have occurred in the first ten areas.

This left all the pirates in areas 10 through 12 completely baffled.

Before long, the pirates spotted Norton and his crew.

The people behind Norton were not only dressed in rags, but also represented various races, so they didn't look like they were going to make much money.

But Norton, who was walking at the front, was different. Even though he was wearing a blue short-sleeved suit, the material was obviously high-end.

So these lawless guys all got up, planning to go up and greet Norton warmly, and maybe borrow some more money to spend.

"You're asking for it." Norton noticed their hostile gazes, and with a flick of his right hand, two wads of pulp flew out.

"He's an ability user!"

"Oh no, retreat quickly!"

Upon seeing this, the leaders' expressions changed drastically, and they turned and ran without hesitation.

The others, who were slower to react, were horrified to see the two clumps of pulp transform into two enormous paper mantises in mid-air, wielding sharp blades as they charged towards them.

"Run!"

"Why are you running? There are so many of us!"

"That's right, charge in!"

Faced with the crisis, the clever one turned and ran, while the headstrong one roared and charged forward.

They brandished their knives and exchanged blows with the two paper mantises.

"Snap—"

Unexpectedly, in just one exchange, all the pirates' swords were cut in two.

"This……"

"Run!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the two turned and ran.

Unfortunately, it's too late to run now!

The two paper mantises immediately pounced, their four sharp scythes swung wildly, instantly cutting down a group of slow-moving people.

The rescued people also showed a look of satisfaction when they saw this scene.

Because in their eyes, these vicious pirates belong to the same category as those damned human traffickers.

No matter how many die, they will not be afraid; on the contrary, they will be happy.

Pirates can run fast, but paper mantises can catch up even faster.

How could a human leg possibly outrun the speed of flight?

The paper mantis flapped its wings and flew at incredible speed among the pirates, cutting down any that were too slow.

Norton didn't bother with the fast runners.

When the mantis flew back and the scattered pieces of paper merged into its body, there were pirate corpses lying all over the ground behind it, their blood staining the ground red.

"Alright, now that you're here, you're temporarily safe. We'll figure out a way to leave later, and then you'll be truly safe."

Standing in front of the extortion bar, Norton looked at the crowd and spoke.

The group looked at each other, all somewhat hesitant.

On their way here, they had all whispered about whether to leave or follow the person in front of them.

Because even if they could go back, they might not be able to return to their hometown alive.

However, if they follow the person in front of them, their chances of survival will greatly increase.
