Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 204 Crisis Resolved
"It seems like he's just a small pirate with no bounty..."

Pulling out the bloody blade, Xia He dodged the corpse that was falling forward and muttered softly.

Minian, who saw the whole process, was not only shocked, but her eyes also became more and more strange when she looked at Xia He.

She naturally knew how powerful Xia He was.

After all, it wouldn't be that difficult to kill such a big sea beast and turn it into a pirate.

but……

A child who was not even one year old, after killing someone, did not even show the slightest expression of fear or nervousness. No matter how you look at it, isn't this a little too weird?
But thinking back carefully, there are so many weird things about Xia He, and this one doesn't seem to be a big deal...

What's more, since those killed were all bad guys, what does it matter?

"Damn..."

"That child is a devil fruit user."

"Kill him quickly and avenge the captain!"

The other pirates on the pirate ship drew their weapons and were about to attack the cargo ship.

at the same time.

call out!
An arrow flew through the air and went straight into the head of a pirate who was rushing in the front.

Blood spurted out again, causing the rest of the people to stop moving.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xia He, who was hiding in the back of the cabin with Minian, drew his bow again and shot three arrows in succession, hitting the chests of the three young pirates one after another.

They didn't even have time to scream before they fell straight into the sea and turned into corpses in an instant.

"You little bastard, get out of here right now!"

Seeing that Xia He immediately hid behind the cabin after shooting the arrow, the remaining pirates were already enraged, raised their flintlock rifles, and started shooting indiscriminately.

boom!
Boom!

The sound of gunfire echoed in the air.

Dense lead bullets penetrated into the wooden boards, turning the cabin into a honeycomb.

However, Xia He and Minian, who were inside, were still unharmed, as if they were not affected at all.

It was only because Xia He had enough boogers in his hands that he could transform them into trees one after another to block these lead bullets.

half an hour.

When the last bullet was fired, the pirates threw away their guns and walked carefully onto the cargo ship.

"do you died……"

"The wall is already rotten like this, there's no way he can be alive, right?"

Looking at the cabin that had been completely destroyed, one of the pirates answered in a casual tone.

However, the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his mood at the moment.

Raise the weapon in your hand and move forward little by little.

Until the moment at the cabin door...

call out-!
Another arrow flew through the air and hit a middle-aged pirate in the face.

The arrow pierced the mouth and half of the arrowhead protruded from the back of the neck.

Expressions of fear appeared on their faces. After several consecutive failures, the remaining five pirates couldn't help but think of escaping.

But before they could turn around, a large number of "arrows" came one after another.

call out!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
As if endless, the "sharpened" wooden awls rained down on them.

The number was even more than twice the lead bullets that had just been fired at the cabin.

The wailing sounds instantly filled the cargo ship.

About half a minute later, when the blood had dyed the entire deck red, Xia He came out of the cabin with a bow to check the situation.

"Is the knot... over?"

Also holding a bow, Minian stuck half of her head out and glanced outside with a nervous expression.

"Well, I no longer sense any murderous intent around here." Throwing the bow aside, Xia He breathed a sigh of relief tiredly.

When faced with a life-and-death situation, tension is inevitable.

However, his fatigue at this moment did not come from the mental aspect, but from the physical aspect.

From the giant tree at the beginning to the nearly one hundred wooden spikes that he transformed into just now, this almost drained all his physical strength.

If another pirate were to come now, he would probably have no choice but to sit there and wait for death.

"Are you hurt?"

Seeing this, Minian quickly stepped forward and checked Xia He's injuries with a very worried expression.

"No, I'm just exhausted. I'll be fine after a short rest." Xia He replied.

This damn body, more than half a year has passed, and there is almost no growth, and I can't even exercise...

When will I grow up?

He sighed speechlessly in his heart.

"Really? Do you need me to hold you?"

Knowing that the danger had been lifted, Minian smiled and stretched out her arms to Xia He.

Xia He: "."

"Okay." He nodded helplessly.

Having lived for more than two hundred years in his previous life, Xia He was naturally unwilling to be carried away by a teenager. However, the crisis was only temporarily resolved. If other helpers came to kill him, he would be doomed.

As for why he had such concerns...

Isn’t it because the dead bald pirate just said that he was going to “deliver” something to someone?

If the other party hasn't seen the goods for a long time, they will definitely send someone to check on the situation, right?

Minian picked up Xia He and patted his back twice like she was coaxing a baby. Then she continued, "What should we do now? Our boat seems to have broken down again..."

"Why not just take their boat?"

Xia He closed his eyes and leaned his head on Minnian's shoulder, trying to speed up his recovery. "Go to their cabin first to see if there are any survivors. By the way, before you go, take the bald captain's flintlock pistol. I saw it just now, he should have a lot of bullets in his pocket."

"it is good."

Minian did as she was told.

Not long after, she entered the cabin of the pirate ship, holding Xia He in one hand and a gun in the other. She explored the lounge for a while, and after finding that it was indeed empty, she followed Xia He's instructions and went to the storage room.

"There are so many boxes..." Putting the pistol back into her pocket, Minian held Xia He's butt with one hand and Xia He's back with the other, looked at the boxes piled in the utility room and exclaimed with her mouth wide open.

This is far more than the wine boxes and meat boxes on their ship.

"Open it and take a look." Xia He said.

Minian walked forward and opened the lid of one of the boxes, only to see several flintlock rifles of exactly the same shape inside.

"Militaries? It's just as I expected..." Xia He turned his head to take a look, then raised his eyebrows.

He had just realized that the length of the box meant that it could not possibly contain anything other than guns and knives.

After opening several boxes in a row and confirming that the whole room was filled with munitions, Minnie Ann finally couldn't help asking, "What should we do with these things? Throw them all into the sea?"

"Throw it away?" Xia He looked at Minian with a "wasteful" expression on his face, "Didn't you say before that there is a sheriff in the town where you live? Why not just transport all these things back and strengthen their armaments."
