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

Chapter 66 Deserters, Die!

Loguetown, Execution Square.

Under the dim light of night, the entire marines of the Loguetown branch braved the torrential rain and stood in bewildered formation to meet the enemy.

Even now, the vast majority of captains and marines do not know the specifics, let alone who the enemy is.

When the Arlong Pirates appeared, their fish-man hybrid forms, so different from humans, spurred the spirits of every Marine.

"A fish-man?!"

The captains were utterly horrified.

Fish-men are extremely rare. There is only one group of fish-men active in the East Blue, and that is the infamous Arlong Pirates!

Why did the Arlong Pirates come to Loguetown? And judging from their roars, they came specifically to kill Commodore Murak!

Murak's mind went blank. He had no idea what had happened or why A Long, who had the highest bounty in the East China Sea, wanted to kill him.

"Sir Brigadier!"

Ciro and the other officers gathered around Murak, their faces filled with anxiety and confusion. Based on their understanding of the brigadier general, it was impossible for him to provoke Aaron.

Because there's absolutely no benefit to it!

Arlong Pirates are the strongest pirate crew in the East Blue. Even if the entire branch of forces were gathered, it would not necessarily be possible to defeat them.

Compared to the enormous risks, the rewards of defeating the Arlong Pirates are negligible; moreover, it could even lead to trouble.

Everyone knows that the Arlong Pirates are backed by Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Without orders from the Marine Headquarters, they cannot take action against any of the Seven Warlords' subordinate forces.

If they really kill Arlong, not only will Jinbe hold them accountable, but the Marine Headquarters will also hold them accountable!

Xiluo asked urgently, "Commodore, what exactly is going on?"

"Damn it, how should I know!"

Murak was furious and cursed. He was enjoying drinking and having fun when he was forced to come to the battlefield, and Aaron even specifically asked to take his head.

He was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode!

"Loya!"

Murak suddenly realized something.

"Yes, it must have been that kid's doing!"

"This is all Loya's conspiracy!"

"No, I have to go explain to Ah Long!"

Murak rushed forward anxiously, wanting to explain to Aaron that this war should never have happened.

Siro and the captains exchanged glances and quickly followed Murak. The best solution now was to redirect Aaron's anger onto Loya.

As the captains followed Murak to the front of the line, suddenly two searchlights illuminated the execution platform and Loya.

Five fish-man pirates knelt before Loya, with Croobi, a core member of the Arlong Pirates, in the middle.

Loya slowly drew his sword, his gaze coldly fixed on the Arlong Pirates at the other end of the execution plaza, his eyes fixed on their leader, Arlong!

"Draw your sword!"

"yes!"

Behind the other four fishmen stood a marine. Upon hearing Loya's command, the four quickly drew their swords and raised them in front of them!

Upon witnessing this scene, the eyes of all the Arlong Pirates members instantly turned bloodshot. They had traveled thousands of miles to Loguetown, to the enemy's headquarters, only to watch their comrades die!

"Hey, are you kidding me!"

"Stop right now!"

"Stop it!!!"

Murak and the officers also saw Loya's actions, their eyes widening in horror. If they had truly killed Aaron's companion, there would be no way to undo it.

"Loya, stop!"

Murak roared in anger.

"I order you to stop!"

However, no amount of shouting could stop Loya's murderous intent!

"Execute them!!!"

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the long sword was swung down with all its might!

"Whoosh!"

Blood splattered on the ground.

"Gurgle~~"

The heads of the five fishmen fell to the ground and rolled around on the execution platform. Among them, Croobi's head rolled to Loya's feet and was crushed by Loya's foot.

"It's sticky and disgusting."

Loya coldly lifted his right foot, the sole of his shoe covered in bloodstains, the bloody smell still lingering even after the rain.

The execution square fell silent, with only the sound of raindrops falling.

The entire Arlong Pirates watched their comrade being killed and saw Croobi's head being crushed, their eyes blazing with fury.

"Croobi!!!"

Ah Long knelt on the ground, shouting in grief and indignation, tears streaming down his face. His companions behind him also wept uncontrollably.

Their compatriots were brutally murdered!

Murak and his officers, who were at the very front of the naval formation, felt a chill run down their spines.

"It's over! It's all over!"

With their companion killed before their eyes, Ah Long and his gang were not about to let it go. Even if they explained to Ah Long that it was Loya's conspiracy, it would be useless.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood!

Even Murak could see that Loya was trying to drive them, all the marines of the Loguetown branch, to a dead end!

Only one of them can survive!

After the grief, a raging fire engulfed them.

Ah Long wiped away his tears, stood up, dragged his two-meter-long saw blade "Zhanfeng," and walked step by step toward the navy directly in front of him, the blade rubbing against the ground and creating a lot of sparks.

"The Arlong Pirates!"

Arlong, his eyes bloodshot and face contorted with rage, roared in a low voice, "Slaughter every single Marine in front of us! Leave no one alive! Avenge Crooby, avenge our fallen comrades!"

"revenge!!!"

The fishmen raised their weapons and roared as they charged angrily toward the navy.

"Kill those despicable humans!"

The enemy is coming!

The marines gripped their weapons tightly, their palms sweating with tension as they watched the Arlong Pirates charge like ferocious beasts.

500 meters, 300 meters!

The two sides are getting closer and closer!

Above the execution platform, Loya calmly observed the battlefield. When the Arlong Pirates approached within 200 meters, he picked up the megaphone.

"attack!"

Upon receiving the order, Fenbudi and Zango, along with more than 200 elite recruits, immediately raised their weapons and roared as they charged into battle!

"For justice!!!"

Under the call of justice, the remaining marines gradually abandoned their fear and charged towards the Arlong Pirates with the main force.

"Kill them!!!"

The two rushing forces collided like two torrents, one black and one white, and the white torrent representing the navy instantly collapsed and exploded!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Screams of agony rose and fell!

Compared to fragile humans, fish-men are much stronger, and their thick skin and bizarre body structure allow them to withstand more injuries.

"You lowly creatures!"

Aron roared and swung his large saw blade, cleaving several marines in half at the waist. Facing the incoming blade, he opened his serrated mouth and bit the steel blade to pieces!

Other fishmen were also slaughtering the marines; the water droplets spat out by the officer were comparable to bullets, piercing through the bodies of more than a dozen marines.

Hachi's monstrous strength and Six-Sword Style blasted away all the approaching marines, making it difficult for them to even get close to him.

While the other fishmen may not possess the formidable strength of the executives, their thick skin and ten times the strength of humans are absolute advantages.

In an instant, the Arlong Pirates gained an overwhelming advantage, and the marines fell in droves in pools of blood, like wheat being harvested.

But the navy also has its advantages.

That's ten times the enemy's troop strength!

"Don't back down!"

"Justice will prevail!"

"Slay the dragon!"

Marines followed one after another!

Even knowing they would die, even knowing their strength was insignificant, even though they were terrified and wanted to cry and run away, they still launched an attack without hesitation.

But not all marines can muster the courage to face death.

"escape!"

As Shiro watched the marines being killed one by one by Arlong, he stood frozen in fear, his legs stiff and unable to move.

As he instinctively turned around and stepped toward safety, the fear in his heart vanished, and he regained control of his body.

Yes, run away!

Facing such monstrous fish-men, there was no way to win. Staying would only result in a pointless sacrifice. Such a smart and capable navy man should not be sacrificed in a place like this.

Escape far, far away, escape from Loguetown!

Xiluo took off running, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

It was the gleaming light of a blade!

"puff!"

A flash of light, and a huge wound appeared on his chest!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Xiluo screamed and clutched his wound, writhing in agony on the waterlogged ground. When he saw the dark figure appear beside him, his screams stopped abruptly.

Death loomed over his heart.

"Major Loya, no, don't kill me!"

"Anyone who deserts in the face of battle shall be executed!"

Loya, holding a blood-dripping blade, his cold gaze devoid of any pity, slashed the knife across Xiro's neck!

"Sizzle!"

Fresh blood gushed out!

No one can back down in this war!
