"10 million Berries?"
The middle-aged man clutched his broken hand and said in a rambling voice, "Y, you're robbing me! All the goods on this ship are only worth 10 million Berries!"
In the eyes of these small people, 10 million Berries was an astronomical figure.
"Robbing you?" Kai glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently and said, "This is even faster than robbing you. If you're not happy, you can ask who isn't willing."
Speaking of this, Kai looked around the room.
Wherever his gaze reached, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"10 million Berries can save the lives of everyone on board. It's worth it."
"Captain, you should understand what's righteousness. Everyone's lives are in your hands."
"That's right. You can earn the money back if it's gone."
Watching the situation that had suddenly turned one-sided, Tashigi was dumbfounded.
This scene was very similar to her situation just now, but the identity of the protagonist had been completely switched.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling pity?" Kai turned his head to look at Tashigi behind him, and his big hand directly covered her head under her astonished gaze, and he rubbed it domineeringly and said, "Pity is a mentality that only the weak possess."
"If I hadn't come forward, the person being threatened right now would be you."
Speaking of this, Kai turned his head to look at the captain and said, "Let me tell you, this old guy is still thinking about killing me in his heart."
"Just the slaves hidden in the cabin are worth 10 million. If he can fool a noble, he can sell them for a good price."
"Of course, you don't need to panic. Taking people's money and helping them eliminate disasters. If you can get the 10 million back from me, I'll be very happy too. At least you've added a little color to my boring days."
As these words fell, the captain's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly took half a step back and said, "Y, you... how do you know?"
"Hehe, how do I know? You don't need to think about it." Kai chuckled and said, "The guest has arrived. Warm me up a glass of wine after sleeping for three days to help me wake up!"
As these words fell, everyone's nerves tensed all of a sudden.
Hurriedly following his gaze, what first entered their eyes was the Wolf's pirate ship that was rapidly approaching.
As soon as it approached, shouts of killing soared into the sky, and the fierce taste of slaughter made the faces of the bounty hunters on the merchant ship's deck, who were just bystanders, change drastically and couldn't help but take half a step back.
"Yo, so there's still a little girl here. Looking at the sword you're holding, you should be a swordsman too, right?" A figure with a ferocious face and a burly body like an iron tower walked out from the crowd.
His right hand was holding a katana with a snow-white blade, and he looked at Tashigi with interest.
"Little beauty, it's rare to meet you. Let me guide you on how to use a sword!" The Wolf grinned ferociously, and his right hand suddenly clenched the hilt of the sword and instantly rushed towards Tashigi.
"Girl, let me give you a taste of what a vacuum slash is!"
Clang! The sound of a sword rang out suddenly, and a cold light rolled back on the blade.
The next moment, the sound of tearing through the air rang out, and the air seemed unable to withstand this pressure and exploded, transforming into a translucent air slash about a meter in size, attacking Tashigi head-on.
The sudden scene made Tashigi's face change drastically.
However, thinking that there were still others behind her, she gritted her teeth and drew her sword, meeting it head-on.
Clang!
A muffled collision sound suddenly echoed, and the huge impact made Tashigi's hands ache, and the katana in her hand was directly thrown up.
In the end, in front of everyone's eyes, it was inserted diagonally into the ship's deck.
The sudden scene shook everyone's nerves.
Watching Tashigi, who had been defeated in one move, they were all full of disbelief.
After all, just a moment ago, the captain was still boasting about Tashigi, saying that she could face pirates with bounties of tens of millions head-on without falling into a disadvantage.
But now, she was suppressed in one move and fell into a disadvantage.
The difference between before and after was too great.
"Quick, run away quickly. Judging from the situation, we can't compete with a pirate with a bounty of 50 million at all."
The exclamations echoed on the huge ship deck. Hearing this, the people who had already been pushed to the limit of their nerves all retreated in a hurry.
"Want to escape? That's just a fool's dream. I'll take this little girl down first and take her back to warm my bed!" The Wolf smiled playfully and rushed towards Tashigi again.
Watching this scene, the captain's face also changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "You fool, are you really helping him warm the wine? There's a spare boat in the cabin. Let's escape quickly."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get out!"
Hysterical roars echoed. However, the sailor who was warming the wine was still as motionless as a sculpture.
The next moment, his pupils contracted suddenly, and with his eyes about to burst, he exclaimed in a lost voice.
"He, he blocked it! He, he blocked the attack with his fingernail!"
Clang! A crisp metallic collision sound suddenly echoed.
At this moment, it was as if it had been infused with magic sounds, and it formed a huge auditory impact with the sailor's words.
Those who were fleeing in a panic, at this moment, seemed to have been given a petrification curse and suddenly stiffened in place.
Not having time to think more, they hurriedly turned around and looked towards Kai.
Faced with life and death, at this moment, they still couldn't overcome the strong curiosity in their hearts.
Just ask, even Tashigi hadn't blocked it, the vacuum slash that only Great Swordsmen possessed was actually blocked by a fingernail.
What could be more exciting than this in this world?
Hundreds of pairs of eyes, at this moment, turned in unison and instantly locked onto Kai.
The sharp blade, which was only half a foot away from Tashigi's forehead, was stopped by a pitch-black thumbnail.
Watching the calm and distinct face, everyone gasped.
Even the Wolf, who had a bounty of 50 million and was known as a Great Swordsman, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and then exclaimed in a lost voice.
"Th, this is Armament Haki! You, you're from the New World!"
The New World! That was the honorific title for the second half of the Grand Line.
If strength was used to measure it, then it was difficult to find bounties of hundreds of millions within the four seas.
And in the first half of the Grand Line, bounties of hundreds of millions were as common as hairs, but there were very few who truly understood Haki.
After all, the practice of Haki was the basic symbol of the New World.
A strong person who came out of the New World was like Mihawk running to the East Blue and teasing the Krieg Pirates that day in the original story.
Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
A nail clipper was enough!
"This nail clipper is pretty good, but it's a little blunt. It should be Shigure, right!" Kai smiled playfully.
The not-so-loud voice completely broke the silence on the deck. The Wolf's face changed drastically. Not having time to think more, he retreated quickly.
