Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 203 Xia He Takes Action
"Hey, are you two just the two kids on this boat?"

The bald pirate holding a huge blade in one hand, grinned and revealed a mouthful of golden teeth, and asked Minian.

As for Xia He...

Judging from his appearance, he looks no more than three or four years old.

He naturally didn't take such a young child seriously at all.

"Only... only the two of us..."

Minnie's voice even began to tremble.

"Everything...on the boat...will be given to you...please...don't...don't kill us..."

"Give it to us?" The bald pirate raised his eyebrows. "The things on this ship originally belonged to us. Do you need me to tell you?"

The sudden increase in the decibel level frightened Minnie Ann so much that she fell to her knees, lowered her head and cried, "I'm... I'm sorry!"

From childhood to adulthood, she has only seen pirates twice.

Once when she was six years old, pirates came to her father and asked him to build a pirate ship.

One time was when she was ten years old, a group of pirates came to the town and made the entire Caravis Island a mess.

Her impression was profound.

Just because of these two encounters, people died in front of her.

The first time, in order to threaten her father to build a ship, the pirates killed her beloved grandfather with their own hands...

The scene of the old man covering the wound on his stomach, lying in a pool of blood, but still smiling at her and comforting her not to be afraid, still appears in her mind from time to time to this day.

The second time, more than fifty residents, including the town sheriff, were either killed on the spot or captured and enslaved.

The pirates burned, killed, looted and robbed without restraint...

If Minian's father had not been smart enough to take her and her daughter into the wine cellar at home in advance, she would probably be gone by now.

"How did we meet pirates?"

"It's all my fault for being such a jinx during the day!"

She muttered to herself with a pale face.

If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Xia He and stayed on that uninhabited island for a few more days.

"Oh, it's good that you know you're wrong, but I won't kill you. After all, little brats like you are much more valuable than those adults."

Unless they are of other races or users of Devil Fruit abilities, the price of selling children is generally much higher than that of adults.

Especially girls like Minian who have not yet matured, and little babies like Xia He who have "delicate skin and tender flesh".

"Go into the cabin and see if there is anything valuable. Take them all away." The bald pirate waved his hand and gave orders to the pirates behind him.

"Yes, Captain!"

The pirates entered the cabin one after another.

After a while.

"There's wine, Captain."

"There are also a lot of dried meat and fruits."

"It seems there is nothing like jewelry."

"Huh? There's also a knife? It looks like it's made of pretty good material...but why is it so short?"

"Is it a short sword?" The bald pirate took the two swords from the crew member. After carefully examining them for a while, the confusion in his eyes deepened. "This is strange. Compared with short swords, they are more like a smaller wild sword. What is this thing used for?"

He wondered, who in their right mind would fight with a knife of this length?

Is it for collection?

"Forget it, let's take them all back first." "Yes, sir!"

The pirates moved the supplies swiftly.

at the same time.

In a corner where no one noticed, Xia He was holding a booger in his hand and thinking about a plan to turn the situation around.

"There are nine crew members, including the bald captain, a total of ten people..."

Of course, this is without knowing whether there are other people in the cabin of the other pirate ship.

"If there are other pirates in the cabin, or if the bald captain has a bounty and is an extremely powerful pirate, then the chances of Minnie and I escaping will be infinitely close to zero..."

But what can be done?

You can't just sit there and do nothing while being sold to noble families as slaves, right?

Selling her as a slave would be fine, but I was afraid that she would be treated as an ingredient and cooked into a dish, just like when I first crossed over...

And at the moment he was thinking.

Boom!
Someone accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and the knives and drinks in his hands rolled everywhere.

"Are you an idiot? Can you please watch where you are going?"

"Ah... Sorry Captain, there is water on the deck, so..."

"Hurry up and get the stuff back to the ship. We have to deliver it to someone later."

The bald captain kicked the guy, and then five crew members bent down and picked up the wine bottles.

When Xia He saw this, his mind moved slightly.

The next second, the booger in his hand instantly "grew" into a giant tree that was two meters wide, and then slammed down on the backs of the crew members.

boom!
"Wow!"

Blood spurted out of their mouths, and the pirates who were crushed by the giant tree howled one after another. Two of them died on the spot, and the other three collapsed on the ground with painful expressions. Although they did not lose their lives immediately, they lost the ability to move on the spot.

"A Devil Fruit user?!"

Looking at this sudden scene, the bald captain was shocked and quickly reached his hand into his arms.

But before he could take out his flintlock, Xia He had already pulled the slingshot and fired three stones in succession.

With a "bang", a bullet hit the bald captain's wrist, interrupting his action of drawing his gun.

The other two shots were fired directly into his eyes.

After all, when the lethality is insufficient, the eyes are the most vulnerable part of the human body.

Oh, and the balls too.

Seeing this, the bald captain subconsciously raised his arms and tried to block.

Xia He took advantage of this gap to quickly pick up the two swords that had fallen to the ground, and without any hesitation, he swung them straight at the bald captain's calf.

He actually wanted to chop off the opponent's head, but the height difference was too huge. With a height of barely one meter, in front of the pirate who was nearly three meters tall, there seemed to be no better choice except to attack the opponent's legs.

click!
The sound made when the blade penetrated into the flesh and hit the bone.

The bald captain, who was just in a blocking posture, suddenly fell forward to his knees.

Immediately afterwards...

As if he had expected it, Xia He raised the knife.

Then, with the help of inertia, he easily pierced the opponent's neck.
