One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

"Captain, what should I do?"

"We must kill him!"

Warships could appear at any moment, but having lost so many comrades to Loya, how could they possibly be satisfied without taking revenge by killing Loya?

Captain Rossio gave his men a signal, and he approached the cargo pile from the front while his men flanked it from both sides.

As the distance closed, suddenly, a white figure rushed from the right. The pirate, whose nerves were on edge, didn't even think twice before thrusting his sword forward!

"puff!"

Several swords pierced through it!

"clothing?"

Hanging on the blade were clothes.

At almost the same moment, Loya, shirtless, rushed out from behind the cargo pile, raising his long sword in his right hand and slashing at Captain Rossio's head.

"Qiang!"

The blade was held in place by two swords.

Do you think I would be careless?

Rossio sneered, having been prepared all along, and easily blocked Loya's surprise attack. He was no fool among his men.

"Stupid!"

Loya replied to the other person, raising his free left hand, in which he held a brand-new lead-shot pistol.

He also has a pistol!

Rossio's pupils contracted, and he turned and ran away in horror.

However, within seven steps, the gun was both fast and accurate!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Loya pulled the trigger repeatedly, quickly emptying the magazine.

Looking at Rossio lying on the ground, riddled with bullet holes, Loya sneered and stabbed him through the heart with his knife.

Even though the other party was a criminal with a 300 million bounty, Loya was still a little uneasy. He drew his knife and stabbed the criminal a dozen more times, only stopping when he was satisfied that the other party was completely dead.

What if he comes back to life?

"And you."

When Loya turned around, the pirates had lost their earlier ferocity and were now throwing down their weapons and running away.

Pirates without their captain are utterly vulnerable.

Chapter 23 Cherish each other

About 40 minutes after receiving the distress signal, the warships of the 32nd detachment of the East China Sea finally arrived at Glass Pearl Island.

Upon seeing the pile of pirate corpses in the port, and Loya sitting atop the pile, shirtless and holding a blood-stained knife, the branch marines almost instinctively raised their guns.

Loya's face immediately turned quite green.

"Don't shoot, your own!"

He just wanted to show off in front of his colleagues. Why are you so nervous? Didn't you see that he had already taken care of all the pirates?

Three minutes later, after Loya's painstaking explanation, the branch navy finally understood the specific situation, but they were still somewhat incredulous.

Including the captain, they killed seven people and captured more than ten. Although it was just a small, unknown pirate crew, this was a feat that even ordinary lieutenants could not achieve.

The major leading the group was filled with respect and personally lit a cigarette for Loya.

"Brother, did you really do this all by yourself?"

"of course."

Loya took a satisfying puff, a perfectly measured arrogance appearing on his face: "Loya, Private First Class, Branch 153, ID number xxxx9527. You can verify my identity."

"Okay, brother, just a moment."

The major was startled again. He had thought that Loya was at least a captain, but he didn't expect him to be just a private.

If I remember correctly, Branch 153 was just a small, remote branch, and you could tell from its branch number that it didn't have much power.

The major dared not delay and immediately ordered his subordinates to contact the 153rd branch to verify. After confirming Loya's identity, he was amazed.

This young man has a limitless future!

"We will report this incident to our superiors truthfully. Please leave the follow-up work to us!"

"it is good!"

Loya didn't dawdle. This island wasn't under the jurisdiction of Branch 153 anyway, so it was enough that he could get credit for it.

After taking the pirate's rocket launcher, Loya immediately headed to the alleyway he had been in, still unsure of the situation regarding the battle on Finbuddy's side.

Inside the alleyway.

Both of them were bruised and battered, their bodies covered in wounds. They punched each other and kicked each other back, without any skill, just pure emotion.

Commonly known as "chickens pecking at each other".

Finbuddy punched Zango in the face, sending him staggering backward: "Give up, you can't escape!"

"Who would just wait to die!"

Zango took a breath, steadied himself, and kicked Finbdi in the stomach, sending Finbdi flying several meters away.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The two charged at each other again, their fighting spirit now fully unleashed.

When Loya arrived in the alley, this was the scene he saw. He didn't disturb the two of them, but instead sat on the wine barrel and started watching the battle.

The sun sets and rises again.

The two fought all night long, until they could barely stand. Their weak fists were weaker than a child's when they fought.

"Ha~~"

Loya yawned.

Well, these two have actually developed feelings for each other.

Not only did they not use weapons, but they also lacked the ferocity of a life-or-death battle. Instead, they gave off a feeling of "You have to defeat me, I can't bring myself to do it," as well as a contradictory feeling of "As a naval officer, I have a responsibility (to survive), I must defeat you."

His teeth almost ached from looking at it.

"Kaya, wake up soon."

Loya shook his head, stepped forward and delivered two powerful punches that knocked the two men to the ground, then dragged the unconscious men toward the ship.

Morning, seven o'clock.

“Wow~~”

The sound of water echoed in my ears.

Kaya frowned her pretty brows, opened her eyes with a soft moan, and sat up somewhat bewildered.

Just then, Loya came out of the bathroom with a towel, wearing only shorts, and his skin was still covered with water droplets.

His body was covered in pirate blood, and his clothes were tattered. If he didn't wash himself, he might frighten little girls.

I just didn't expect Kaya to wake up.

"Yo!"

Loya greeted them without changing his expression, and then went into the changing room.

"what?"

Kaya sat on the bed, her eyes and mouth wide open, remaining in a dazed, wooden state the whole time. But when Loya walked into the dressing room next door, her face turned bright red and her brain started to spin.

She had seen Loya's muscles before, but that was when Loya was training, and they looked completely different after he took a shower.

pretty.

"what?"

Kaya recalled the scene from earlier and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Loya has scars on his back!

Because of the appearance of pirates, the defense of Glass Pearl Island has been significantly strengthened. Marines from the 32nd branch are patrolling everywhere to prevent any pirates from escaping.

Meanwhile, the Sirob couple's business was going well, giving them more time to spend with Kaya, which allowed Loya some free time.

The lower deck of the Sirob.

Finbdi was covered in bandages and looked very dejected. Next to him, Zango, who was also covered in bandages, sat on a chair.

"Don't be so sad, Brother Fumbuddy. You're a Marine, and I'm a pirate. There's nothing wrong with this outcome."

Compared to Finbuddy, Zango was much more emotionally stable, and when he decided to duel Finbuddy, he was prepared for the consequences.
