The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Seeing this, the visitor casually embraced her, leaving Carter with half of her arm hanging in the air, feeling extremely embarrassed.

After a second of reaction, Shushu got angry and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Waiter, why are you meddling in other people's business?!"

The blond boy looked at Carter and said calmly, "I'm not a waiter, I'm the store manager. You can call me Merry."

He had a young face, was not tall, and had bright eyes. He wore a white shirt and a black vest, and carried a strangely shaped broken sword on his back.

"Store manager?"

Carter was a little surprised, but he stopped worrying and said angrily: "No matter who you are, you ruined my good deeds, so you deserve to die!"

Carter had already been drinking, and after being provoked by Elizabeth, he was already burning with anger.

Now that his good thing was interrupted, all his anger was directed at Meli.

Meliodas ignored the furious Rat and looked at Elizabeth in his arms and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine." Elizabeth felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The person in front of me is so strange, yet so familiar...

"Don't ignore me!" Carter was mad.

He pulled out a dagger from somewhere and pounced on Meliodas like a mad dog.

Elizabeth's pupils shrank, and she quickly reminded: "Be careful!"

Meliodas only stretched out two fingers, clamped Carter's dagger, and said softly: "My dear guest, I can understand your feelings, but I also have my own rules. If you insist on making trouble, it will be very troublesome for me."

"Who cares about you!" Carter felt that he had lost face and became more and more crazy.

He threatened loudly: "I am a member of the Rat Gang. If you offend me, I will make sure that your shop will not be able to continue to operate!"

Meliodas frowned and was about to say something when Elizabeth in his arms struggled to get up.

Meliodas had no choice but to loosen his grip.

When Elizabeth stood still again, she looked directly at Carter and said solemnly, "You'd better apologize to me, or you can have a one-on-one duel with me. But I can't guarantee what will happen then."

What?

A little girl who can't even stand steadily to throw a punch wants to duel with others!

The people around showed interest.

Carter, the person involved, felt insulted and yelled, "Okay, okay, since you want to die so badly, I'll help you!"

Rats will bite when they are angry.

Of course, it was because Elizabeth seemed easy to bully that Carter had the opportunity to toughen up. If it was someone who was not easy to mess with, he would have returned the money long ago...

Meliodas opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Jon, who had been standing in the back without saying anything, started to applaud.

OK OK.

The child is teachable. The child is teachable.

duel.

It has always been sacred.

Even if both parties are not knights.

The same rules of dueling must be followed.

At the entrance of the 'Pig Hat' tavern, Elizabeth and 'Quick Hand' Carter stood facing each other, twenty meters apart.

Carter threw his dagger away from time to time, winking at Elizabeth and saying, "Let me make it clear in advance that swords have no eyes. If I hurt your tender face later, I will not be responsible."

Elizabeth said nothing, but gently stroked the banjo-harp that was temporarily given to her for safekeeping.

There were a lot of onlookers.

Meliodas quietly approached Jon and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Is this really okay? Aren't you and her companions? If something goes wrong, are you going to let a woman come forward?"

"Companion? Who told you that? Can't she be my wife?" Jon lowered his head, met Meliodas' eyes, and asked back.

“This…” Meliodas’ heart trembled inexplicably.

Don’t do that kind of thing with a wife!

Jon smiled and said, "By the way, aren't you a little too partial? They are obviously your guests, but you care so much about Elizabeth."

Meliodas scratched his head and didn't explain anything.

Some things are destined.

It cannot be explained by words alone.

Seeing this, Jon no longer had the intention to tease the other party and said, “Don’t worry, I call myself a pure love warrior, and I have never bothered to be a minotaur or anything like that.

Elizabeth is not my wife, but just... a temporary employer, and she owes me a great favor and a lot of money."

“Like this—” For some reason, Meliodas relaxed.

While they were talking, the duel began!

Carter had no intention of showing any mercy to the woman. He held the dagger in his hand and rushed towards Elizabeth.

Twenty meters.

This distance is neither long nor short.

Elizabeth's heart was pounding and her mind was blank as she stared at the rat that was approaching her ferociously.

"Move! Move now!"

She was frantically alerted.

The hand holding the harp twitched slightly.

"Got it!" Carter came to within three meters of Elizabeth in a blink of an eye.

In just one step, he could put a dagger to that chick's neck and make some 'reasonable' demands.

Meliodas, who was watching the battle, fixed his eyes and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back.

Jon's expression remained the same.

He believed in Elizabeth.

More importantly, he believes in his ability to brainwash...

Ding-dong-

The sound of the piano is melodious.

It seems to be ringing from the bottom of everyone's heart.

Elizabeth began to play in full view of everyone.

There is no chanting.

Just a flick of the hand.

She ignored the knife tip right in front of her eyes and just played with ecstasy.

“This is it!” Meliodas noticed something and his face instantly became serious.

Manipulate the mind?

No.

Controls the wind element.

and many more.

There is also magic to bless yourself.

A simple song has three magical powers.

The harp...

Artifact?

Meliodas looked at the people around him solemnly.

Who on earth is this guy?

"The winner has been decided." Jon said lightly.

At that moment, a pig-headed man poked his head out from the door stealthily. "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened while the captain was dealing with the leftovers?"

"Hawk, don't come out!" Meliodas still held the hilt of the sword and spoke solemnly.

The intuition honed by countless years of fighting told him that Elizabeth, holding the sacred harp, was not scary.

What is really scary is this guy who never shows off.

"Why are you so excited?" Jon said unhappily, "You want to fight me with a broken sword?"

"Who are you and what is your purpose with Elizabeth?" Meliodas asked in a deep voice.

"Speaking of purpose, ah, we are looking for members of the Knights of the Seven Deadly Sins. Little brother, you look so smart, you must know some reliable information." Jon deliberately teased.

Because of the curse of the Supreme God, Meliodas's appearance and figure were forever frozen in his youth. Compared with John, who is 1 meters tall, he is quite "mini".

"The Seven Deadly Sins? I've never heard of that kind of thing." Meliodas denied it flatly.

It would be fine for ordinary people.

How could he easily reveal everything to a mysterious man whose true nature he couldn't figure out?

Jon scratched his eyebrows deliberately: "It's really strange. I heard from others that Meliodas, the sin of "Wrath", is active nearby. Meliodas, do you have any pigs?"

Meliodas: ...

indeed.

I have a pig.

But, it doesn’t matter at all!

In the field, Elizabeth looked at Carter, who had already lost his life, and lowered her head gently: "This is your choice, so you must accept this result."

Naturally, Carter couldn't respond.

Although it looks normal.

But if someone with good eyesight was present, they would have discovered that the rat's body was covered with marks of being cut by wind blades.

In other words—he had been chopped into pieces.

The reason why it didn't fall apart is because it hasn't been affected by external forces.

After a while, perhaps just a gust of wind, the whole rat will turn into a ground full of rat fragments.

"Everyone! Leave!" Meliodas lost his usual harmless expression and shouted, "Today's bill is waived! Everyone, please go back!"

The drinkers who were watching the fun were completely confused.

With their strength, they couldn't see through Carter's condition at all.

Now they heard Meliodas asking them to drive them away, and they all became dissatisfied.

"You must be kidding! I haven't had enough to drink yet!"

"That's it!"

"I paid for it..."

Jon blinked his eyes and said, "You have courage, little brother. Do you really want to test me?"

He smiled, and suddenly a surge of magical power burst out from his body.

Turning his head, he said, "Let's go, escape while you still have the strength."

"Holy...Paladin!"

There are classes within the kingdom.

The Paladin is undoubtedly the top tier.

Those drinkers didn't dare to provoke him, and they didn't complain, and ran away like rabbits.

Elizabeth was puzzled and couldn't understand why Lord Jon would confront Mr. Merry.
