Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 21 Sudden Pirate Incident

At the outdoor booths outside the bar, Zango and Fenbudi, their faces flushed from drinking, were praising each other's dancing skills.

Until a bounty poster was slapped on the table.

"Um?"

Finbdy looked down at the table, and when he realized that the photo on the wanted poster looked remarkably like his best friend, his dizzy brain immediately cleared up, and he finally remembered who he was.

He's a Marine, here to catch pirates!

When Zango saw his bounty poster, he spat out all the wine he hadn't even drunk yet, and immediately realized something was wrong.

I tried to run, but a cold, tubular object pressed against my lower back. I could easily tell what it was just by the touch.

pistol!

navy?

Zango stiffly raised his hands to indicate that he would not resist, but his feet under the table were kicking Fenbdi, hoping that his newly acquainted friend could help him out of this predicament.

However, Finbdi seemed oblivious to his crisis, his face somber as he fell silent.

Zango was sweating profusely when, just then, Fenbdi looked up, picked up the bounty poster on the table, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Excuse me, I'm from the Navy!"

"Huh???"

Zango stood there stunned for a while before finally coming to his senses.

"Did you come here specifically to arrest me?"

"That's right."

Finbuddy stood up, his face no longer showing the excitement he had when dancing, but only the coldness he displayed when facing pirates.

As a naval officer, even if the other party is a like-minded friend, he will not bend the law for personal gain; this is his principle in life.

Finbuddy looked at Loya behind Zango.

"Loya, let's go somewhere else."

"good!"

Loya glanced at Finbdi and nodded slightly. Arresting someone in the city center could easily cause panic among the citizens.

A moment later, the three arrived at an empty alley.

Zango was trapped between the two men with nowhere to escape, but he was more angry about being "betrayed" by his friends than about running away.

This is a conspiracy against him!

"Navy, you guys are so despicable!"

"."

Finbdy's face darkened, unable to utter a rebuttal. He felt that entrapment and such tactics were not exactly honorable.

Loya didn't think much of it. Capturing pirates was an extremely dangerous job. If being despicable could reduce casualties, then being even more despicable wouldn't matter.

"I advise you not to resist, pirate."

Loya didn't want to waste time talking, and he was also worried that things might change if he dragged it out too long, so he decided to lock the guy up first and then consider other things.

Just as he took out the shackles, panicked screams suddenly came from outside the alley, and citizens rushed into the alley in a panic.

"Run! Pirates are coming!"

It seems that the pirates were attracted by the dance competition.

Loya's face darkened.

Glass Pearl Island is not under the jurisdiction of Branch 153. If pirates appear, the Navy from a nearby branch will handle the situation.

However, setting sail takes time, and by the time the navy arrives at Glass Pearl Island, countless civilians will have perished. Under these circumstances, the navy has no reason not to stand up and stop them.

Even though they know it's extremely dangerous and not their responsibility, if they don't even have this much courage and sense of justice, what kind of navy are they?

The moment they joined the Navy, they took on the corresponding responsibilities!

"Loya, go and protect the people."

Finbdy ripped off his suit jacket, revealing a marine t-shirt: "Leave this guy to me, I'll definitely bring him back."

"Understood."

Loya gave Finch a deep look, then immediately ran out of the alley, observed briefly, and sprinted toward the port.

The pirates are over there!

Inside the alley, the two men faced off.

Zango adjusted his hat brim; Loya's departure had put him at ease. In fact, he had been planning his escape just moments before.

As a notorious pirate with a bounty of 900 million Berries, he cannot be intimidated by a mere pistol.

As long as you're not hit in a vital spot, you won't die that easily.

Zango turned to Fenbdi, his previous anger gone, and said calmly, "It won't be easy for you to catch me by yourself."

"Don't underestimate me."

Finbdy ripped off his iron fist gloves and assumed a fighting stance with his bare hands.

"If it were you, you would understand what I'm thinking right now."

"Yes, I can feel it."

Zango also raised his fists, assumed a fighting stance, and made a pact with Finbdi.

"If I lose, I won't run away!"

"Hahaha, let's settle this once and for all!"

The two charged at each other at the same time!

On the other side, the port.

The pirate ship docked, and a dozen ugly pirates poured off the ship, each holding their hands like a monkey, with a tulip on their head.

Even the captain was no exception.

The pirates drew their swords and threatened the port's inhabitants: "Hahaha, we are the Tulip Pirates! Hand over all your valuables!"

The pirates introduced themselves, with the captain even taking out his bounty poster to show off his strength and fame—a bad habit common among many pirates.

"Rosio in Bloom, bounty 300 million Berries."

Loya, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene. After seeing the amount of the bounty on the other captain's head, he felt much more at ease.

Although I'm a little unsure of my own level, I should be able to handle pirates with 300 million Berries.

Just to be on the safe side, we can stall until reinforcements from a nearby branch arrive.

The pirates quickly took action, turning their swords against the powerless and vulnerable, attempting to force the people to compromise through slaughter.

"Hey, stop!"

Upon seeing the pirates taking hostages, Loya immediately stepped forward, his gaze icy, and shouted loudly and forcefully.

"Let go of that girl!"

The port fell silent.

The people were overjoyed to see the navy appear, but their joy vanished when they realized that Loya was alone.

What use is a marine?

The pirates were startled by Loya and instinctively gathered around their captain. When they realized that Loya was alone, their faces immediately darkened.

"A mere marine thinks he can stop the Tulip Pirates?"

"That's hilarious."

"Hey, who's going to take him down!"

One of the burly pirates approached Loya, about to utter a few threatening words, when Loya raised his leg and kicked him hard between the legs.

"Chirp!"

The pirate clutched his crotch and knelt down, his threats turning into chicken cries.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared.

"Pfft~~"

A bloody line split open on the pirate's neck, spurting out a large amount of blood. He then fell straight to the ground, crimson blood spreading outwards from beneath him.

The port fell silent once more.

Loya, carrying a blood-dripping longsword, swept his cold gaze over the remaining pirates, sending chills down their spines.

In situations where capturing pirates alive is not required, battles between the Navy and pirates are life-or-death struggles, and no opportunity to kill the other side can be missed.

Cowardice will only lead to your own demise!

"Syman has been killed!"

The pirates felt a chill run down their spines. Only then did they realize that the marine in front of them was definitely not an ordinary marine!
