Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

5. The island whose tranquility has been shattered (5/10)

The Sun Breathing Technique combined with extreme training resulted in a far more astonishing increase in Qi and Blood values than Ron had imagined.

Before mastering it, nearly two months of extreme training only increased my Qi and Blood value by 12 points.

After mastering the Sun Breathing Technique, my Qi and Blood value increased by a full 57 points in five months.

Moreover, Ron could clearly sense it.

The growth of physical strength and vitality becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on.

"It looks like it's going to snow."

Ron looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and dark.

"Let's go home early today, otherwise Aunt Mary will scold me again."

"She's really had a lot to worry about these past few months."

As Ron spoke, he hurried toward the mountain hut.

He moved through the mountains and forests at a fast pace, as agile and nimble as a monkey.

Soon the mountain hut came into view in the distance.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

"Huh? Uncle Brian?"

Ron saw Brian rush to the mountain hut and bang on the lit door. The door opened quickly.

Brian said something to Mary in a flustered manner, and Aunt Mary covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of horror.

Then they left the cabin with Brian and ran towards the town.

A sense of foreboding rose in Ron's heart.

"Has something happened to Old Man Harris?"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately followed.

"The direction of the town..."

Ron instantly accelerated, taking a shortcut through the forest to overtake Mary and the other woman, arriving in town ahead of them.

As soon as we arrived in town.

Ron then heard it.

boom!

A gunshot rang out.

"Over there..."

Ron immediately rushed over there and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

The scene before him made his eyes widen.

An elderly man, clutching his wounded arm, collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Harris and several other middle-aged men glared angrily at the group of more than twenty pirates in front of them.

The gun in the hand of the pirate leader, who was wearing a pirate hat, was still emitting blue smoke.

"Heh heh, you old codger, all I asked you to do was ask you to hand over some money, and you're so ungrateful."

The leader of the pirates, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stared at the old man on the ground, his fleshy face radiating arrogance and haughtiness.

"Hmm..." He glanced at Harris and the others, "Are you... trying to rebel against me?"

His hand, which was emitting blue smoke, was pointed at Harris, who was the leader of the group.

"This is Smoyati, the great pirate with a bounty of 150 million Berries. I advise you to think carefully. If you anger Lord Smoyati, I can't guarantee what will happen to your little island."

A skinny pirate standing next to the leader of the pirates said in a sinister tone.

Harris clenched his fists, filled with rage.

He really wanted to take action and teach these pirates a lesson.

But reason told him... he couldn't make a move.

Smoyati smirked and fired a shot into the floor in front of Harris: "Hmph, that's all the courage you have. Just a bunch of trash. What a boring little island."

"Men, go and smash this tavern to pieces, and take all its valuables and wine."

"Hahahaha!"

"Hehehe, I've been wanting to make my move for a long time!"

"I'll come first!"

A group of pirates couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing this, they immediately rushed into the tavern and began to wreak havoc and loot.

"No, please! You can take all the valuables, just please, please don't destroy my tavern!"

The old shopkeeper, who had been shot in the shoulder, lay on the ground and pleaded desperately.

Harris's body trembled with rage.

"Brother Harris!"

The men behind him were also furious.

"This tavern was built by my wife and me. This is my last treasure. Please, don't destroy it!"

Tears streaming down his face, the old shopkeeper dragged his injured, bleeding arm and crawled toward the tavern's door.

He grabbed a pirate by the ankle, who gave him a disgusted look and then kicked him away.

"You old geezer, get out of here. If you want to die, don't get my clothes dirty."

Upon witnessing this scene, Harris finally lost control of his anger.

He rushed forward in one stride.

Before the pirate leader with the gun could react, he was punched in the face with full force, fueled by rage.

"Get... off this island!"

Harris delivered a powerful punch, sending the 150 million Berry bounty-bearing pirate flying.

Mary and Brian arrived just in time to witness this scene.

Both of them were greatly shocked.

"Harris!"

"That was a perfect punch."

Ron, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but silently praise him.

The explosiveness, speed, and penetrating power of that punch were all quite impressive.

Although Harris's father only has 50 points of health, his strength is above that.

The pirate named Smoyati was punched and sent flying five or six meters before crashing heavily to the ground, and only then did the other pirates react.

"Boss!"

"They actually dared to lay a hand on the boss! Looks like they're tired of living!"

"Attack! Don't let a single one escape!"

They drew their weapons and attacked Harris and his men.

The middle-aged men behind Harris couldn't wait any longer and picked up tools like hammers to meet him.

Seeing that a brawl was about to break out, the onlookers quickly retreated.

"Mary, step back, I'll go help Harris!"

Brian roared, drew his fish-cleansing knife, and rushed inside.

He had long wanted to teach these pirates a lesson.

6. Ron makes his move, stunning everyone (6/10)

“Brian…”

Mary looked worried but helpless.
