Chapter 81 The realistic effects of picking up characteristics (seeking for further reading)
"Hehehe, these two guys are really energetic!"
Luffy stood up from the ground while dusting off his straw hat.
At the same time, behind him, Colonel Mouse, who had been beaten to a bloody head, stood up from the pile of bricks and stones.
Seeing Luffy put the straw hat on his head, his eyes, which were not big at all, suddenly flashed with light.
"Straw Hat?! You can't be wrong! This guy is Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 5000 Baileys!"
The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune came so suddenly! ?
click!
Like happiness knocking on the door, Colonel Mouse remained silent, quickly took out a musket from his clothes, and then pointed the black muzzle at Luffy's back.
"Go to hell! Straw Hat!!!"
Peng! ! !
The fire suddenly appeared!
A rapid lead bullet suddenly flew out of the barrel of the gun.
then……
Swish!
Luffy turned sideways and easily dodged the bullet in his back.
Although as a rubber fruit ability user, he is not afraid of ordinary lead bullets at all, but under Chihong's long-term training, it has already become his muscle memory to sense danger and then avoid it instantly.
"Hey! You guy, why do you attack me from behind!?"
Luffy turned around and complained dissatisfiedly to Colonel Mouse:.
But the next second, his eyes suddenly stared, and his mind suddenly recalled the information Chi Hong had told about Colonel Mouse.
"Huh?! You guy, you look like a mouse!?"
"Are you the commander here?"
Although Luffy's memory is not very good, he is very good at recognizing people based on their appearance.
For example, the long-nosed Kaku is regarded as Usopp, and Marco is recognized as Pineapple Head.
"That's right! It must be you!"
Luffy suddenly grinned, showing an expression of surprise:
"What good luck!"
"As long as I bring you to Nami, can I ask her to restore my pocket money to me?"
"What?" Colonel Mouse was stunned for a moment.
He was both shocked that Luffy dodged the bullet, and also surprised by what Luffy said.
A big pirate with a bounty of 5000 Baileys, his pocket money has to be supervised by others? !
Is this really Straw Hat Luffy? ?
If so, then this must be the funniest joke he has heard this year, right?
However, time did not give Colonel Mouse much opportunity to think.
Luffy's arms suddenly stretched out, he lowered his head and smiled:
"Rubber Rubber...Pistol!!!"
There are no special effects, and no Pokémon moves are used.
It was just a simple punch, but it gradually enlarged under the horrified eyes of Colonel Mouse...
The next second, his face was suddenly smashed into by Luffy's fist.
The nose bone was broken and the front teeth were shattered!
The whole person was smashed against the wall behind him, and then he passed out completely.
With just an ordinary punch, Luffy easily KOs Colonel Mouse, the commander of the 16th branch.
But this is also a matter of course.
……
……
at the same time.
Just when the Straw Hats were making a big fuss at the naval base, the Merry, driven by the waves, walked in from the blasted gate of the naval base openly.
"Then, the task of watching the ship is left to you, Usopp!"
Red, who flew into the air with Nami, who had learned to fall, waved her hand to Usopp.
The naval soldiers at the gate of the base had already been frightened by the previous shots and hid inside the base.
Usopp was left to guard the Merry mainly because he was worried about something unexpected happening.
The scale of this naval branch base is much larger than that of the 153rd branch.
Even under the premise that Colonel Mouse withheld military pay and drove away a large number of soldiers, there were still nearly a thousand naval soldiers in the entire naval base.
It's enough for Luffy and the others to play for a while.
Anyway, the soldiers who can still stay here are more or less aware of what Colonel Mouse has done and are willing to help him.
He is no longer a pure naval soldier, so he might as well let Luffy and the others teach him a lesson.
With their flying abilities, Chihong and Nami went directly to the top of the naval base.
In this operation, they had a clear division of labor.
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were responsible for handling the combat portion and attracting the navy's attention.
Red and Nami are looking for Colonel Mouse's treasure trove and evidence of his collusion with the Dragon Pirates over the years.
It can be said that the reason why the Dragon Pirates have been able to dominate this sea area for so many years is all because of these protective umbrellas working behind the scenes!
This time, the Straw Hats not only want the lives of these guys, but they also want to make everything public and completely discredit the gang of thieves headed by Colonel Mouse!
In fact, in addition to maintaining the rule of the Celestial Dragons, the navy as a whole is composed of righteous people.
It’s just that there are corrupt officials and corruption everywhere.
This is the evil of human nature and cannot be eradicated.
After the Dragon Pirates are exposed, whether it is delayed justice or to maintain the image of the Navy, the Navy will inevitably provide certain support and compensation to the residents of Kokoyasi Village and other villages.
And in a short period of time, there will definitely be heavy naval guards here, and pirates will not be allowed to appear in this sea area again.
And this is what the Straw Hats really want to see!
It was also the biggest way Chihong could think of to comfort Nami and the persecuted residents.
……
……
The two of them were silent all the way and quickly searched the room in the naval base.
Relying on Nami's many years of stealing experience, they quickly found the treasure room of Colonel Mouse.
Nami directly fired a hundred thousand volts, and the big metal lock was instantly melted by the high temperature and fell off.
With the sound of creaking and rubbing, a picture of golden light suddenly appeared in front of Chihong and Nami.
"Be a good boy~" Nami screamed, her eyes instantly turned into the shape of gold coins.
Before Chihong could speak, she jumped directly into the ocean of gold and silver jewelry, holding up a pile of jewelry.
Chihong on the side also walked over. Looking at the piles of Bailey and jewelry, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue and said:
"I didn't expect those fishmen to be so generous~"
"This is how much tribute we paid to Colonel Mouse to accumulate such wealth!"
"That's about right. It's going to cost 10 billion Beli, right?"
Chihong didn't know how to identify the value of jewelry, so he just talked about it casually.
But you must know that no matter how much these treasures are worth, they are the result of being squandered by Colonel Mouse and the Dragon Pirates.
Over the years, the blood they have sucked in this sea area will only be much more than what can be seen! ! !
"........."
The excited Nami suddenly became quiet.
Apparently Chihong's emotion accidentally touched her heart.
Nami looked at the gold coins in her hand and her face became moved.
Only then did she remember that all the money was the villagers' personal sacrifice.
For a moment, Nami hesitated whether to return these treasures to the villagers.
However, Chihong patted her shoulder gently and comforted:
"Don't worry, Nami, don't think too much."
"We should have received this money."
"After all, we are just a group of pirates. If we do too many actions that are not in line with our position, it will make things more complicated."
"It would be bad if the navy used this as a reason to conclude that the villagers were colluding with pirates."
"On the contrary... if the navy does not want to lose the word [justice] it carries, I think the villagers should be able to receive corresponding compensation."
With that said, Chihong found a suitable angle and took a photo of the treasure in front of her.
And additionally place the navy's seagull logo in the most prominent position in the photo.
"That makes sense!"
Under Chihong's comfort, Nami decisively turned from sadness to joy, and her eyes once again bloomed with golden light.
The two of them put all the treasures into sacks and left them in the treasure room, waiting for Luffy and the others to take them away.
Chihong and Nami continued to explore, preparing to find evidence of the crimes committed by Colonel Mouse over the years.
However, just as they passed by a dormitory area, Nami's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Chi Hong turned around and asked in confusion.
Nami frowned slightly and replied:
"Chihong, something seems wrong."
"I feel like there is something in this room that is attracting me inexplicably!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nami's hand seemed to be out of her control. A flash of electricity suddenly flashed, destroying the lock cylinder and opening the door.
Chihong came over curiously.
Immediately he saw...
In the center of the room, there is a gorgeous and expensive knife rest.
And on the knife rest, there is an exquisite long knife with blue lightning-shaped knife inscriptions.
