After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

That's right, they were the first pirates to infiltrate the town, known as the Night Pirates.

The reason it's called Night is because this pirate crew is made up of black people, and when they act in the dark, the whole crew blends into the darkness.

You wouldn't even see these people if they weren't smiling.

Attacking a town is no easy feat, especially raiding a naval base; they wouldn't dare.

However, there are not many problems when cooperating with other pirate crews.

This operation involved three pirate crews, and the Night Pirates were only responsible for killing, setting fires, and attracting attention.

As soon as the pirates pushed open the door, the leader of the pirates discovered a figure standing in the dark courtyard.

If his eyes hadn't already adapted to the darkness, he probably wouldn't have been able to spot the figure hidden in the shadows at all.

"who……"

The pirate at the front stiffened as the black shadow appeared before him like an arrow.

He tried to warn his companions loudly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a black spike pierced his throat with lightning speed.

Blood gushed out, and the pirate clutched his neck, kneeling silently on the ground.

The pirates were horrified, only then noticing a dark figure flashing in front of them. Just as they were about to fight back, one by one, their throats were pierced by lightning-fast attacks, and they all collapsed to the ground clutching their throats.

In the blink of an eye, four of the five pirates who launched the sneak attack were dead.

The captain of the Night Pirates was very experienced. He suddenly shrank back and barely dodged the attack, then ran straight outside.

However, just as he stepped out the door, the figure leaped up and landed out of thin air in the retreat path of the regimental commander.

"woman!"

"Why... why?"

Upon seeing the dark figure clearly, the captain was astonished, his mouth agape.

Indeed, she had a curvaceous figure, wearing a black tight-fitting slit dress and high heels, exuding mystery and allure in the darkness.

She must be a beautiful woman.

No! The other party was not a beautiful woman, but a killing god in the night.

"Because you've come to the wrong door!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful woman suddenly raised her hand and shot a black thorn into the other person's throat.

The captain of the Night Pirates clutched his throat and collapsed silently to the ground.

"Ugh! This is such a headache. I've already been having trouble sleeping, and now some pirates have come to visit. How annoying!"

"If this continues, will I not even be able to stay in such a small place?"

As she spoke, the graceful black figure prepared to disappear.

At this moment, a sudden burst of fighting sounds echoed throughout the street, waking people from their sleep. It sounded like two armies were fighting, with various sounds of fighting and gunfire filling the streets and alleys.

Sure enough, there were more than just these troublemaking pirates; they also had accomplices. The Navy took action against the pirates hiding in the town, and deployed heavy firepower.

The upcoming battle will be very intense.

“Very well, this battle will cover up my killings.”

The graceful black figure ignored it and finally disappeared into the darkness.

"Draw Sword Slash!"

At the entrance to Baihua Street, a sharp glint of light flashed.

Two pirates ahead were slain, their wounds bursting open in an instant, their flesh and blood transforming into flower shapes—both beautiful and gruesome.

"Your knife is strange; I've never seen such a strange knife before!"

Smoker couldn't help but marvel at the sword in Tashigi's hand, his eyes filled with a strange look: "Where did you get this cursed sword?"

"Me? I found her!"

Tashigi replied, blushing.

Before Smoker could say anything more, he heard the roar of artillery fire coming from the naval base.

"A pincer attack? I'll leave everything to you."

Smoker's body turned into smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he flew towards the port amidst thick smoke.

However, at least a hundred pirates surged out like a tide. These pirates all wore iron helmets on their heads, and were extremely fierce with long teeth and claws.

"It's the Ironhead Pirates! Hang in there, everyone!"

"Sergeant Tashigi, their attack is too fierce."

"No, it's because they have too many people."

"Everyone stay still, maintain formation, use the muskets..."

Tashigi was commanding her troops in battle when she soon discovered that she had been separated from the main force by the pirates and was now facing several strong and muscular pirates.

"Captain Ironhead, captain of the Ironhead Pirates with a bounty of 850 million Berries!"

Tashigi's pupils constricted as she looked at one of the burly men, who had an enormous head and were over 2.5 meters tall.

"Hehe, you're quite an interesting little girl, you've killed quite a few of our brothers."

Captain Ironhead rubbed his bald head and looked at Tashigi: "This knife in your hand is a bit strange. I want it. Hand it over and I'll spare your life."

"Don't even think about it! Draw your sword and strike!"

Tashigi seized the opportunity and drew her sword once more, slashing it down on her opponent's head.

Unexpectedly, it was as if he had struck a piece of steel; the blade could not even scratch the other person's head.

"Little girl, you actually chopped off my head! Do you know why I'm called Iron Head?"

Ironhead seized the opportunity and lunged forward, instantly arriving in front of Tashigi.

……

Martin stood on high ground, overlooking the battlefield.

From his vantage point, he could see the scene of the navy and pirates fighting each other on the street.

Robin had already taken refuge in the basement, while he watched the battle from the towering little clock tower.

"I wonder if the Navy can hold off these pirates. There are quite a few pirates, at least two hundred."

The shouts of battle were deafening, mixed with the sounds of gunfire and artillery. The neighbors were so frightened that they immediately closed their doors and windows and hid inside, trembling.

The entire street was filled with fighting figures and flames. Some people were holding torches, some were holding swords, and some were naval soldiers holding flintlock pistols. The two sides were entangled in a fierce battle.

Tashigi was also fighting, but her situation didn't look good. The pirates opposite her looked fat and strong, each of them wildly swinging their weapons, desperately resisting the siege.

Tashigi was surrounded by pirates and forced back repeatedly, even losing her grip on her sword.

Tashigi is in a tough fight; is she too confident in the cursed sword?

In this kind of situation, you should just turn around and run, right?

Despite Tashigi's professional swordsmanship, these burly pirates are no pushovers. They coordinate well, especially the big guy, which is why Tashigi is being suppressed. If this continues...

Sure enough, Tashigi was attacked by several pirates, and her sword fell to the ground. She was held tightly by one of the pirates, and amidst their lewd laughter, she was on the verge of tears.

As the saying goes, when you see injustice on the road, you should roar; when it's time to roar, then roar!

"It's my turn to make a move."

Martin took a step forward and sped down the slope...

Chapter 20 My net worth is 850 million Berries

Whoosh!

A figure descended from the sky, stepping on one of the arrogant pirates and knocking him over.

His head was buried deep in the mud, and his legs, pointing upwards, kicked one last time before he breathed his last.

"Who?"

The pirates who were about to play with Tashigi immediately stopped, startled by the sudden turn of events. When they saw that the other party was a man wearing a floral shirt and casual shorts, their expressions turned fierce again.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I thought this guy would be fine since he was wearing a helmet, but it turns out the helmet was substandard..."

The man opposite shrugged.

The bald, burly man, over two meters tall, grabbed Tashigi by the neck with one large hand and threatened viciously, "You brat, do you want to die? Don't you know we're the Ironhead Pirates? I'm Captain Ironhead, with a bounty of 850 million Berries..."

"The Iron-Headed Pirates?"

"I've never heard of it."

"You guys sound pretty stubborn."

Martin sized up the group.

Tashigi's glasses fell to the ground. Her nearsighted eyes could only vaguely make out the person, who was wearing a floral shirt, floral shorts, and slippers. She immediately looked disappointed and couldn't help but shout, "Uncle, don't worry about me! Captain Ironhead has a bounty of over 850 million. You're no match for him... Go find Major Smoker!"

Martin felt a little embarrassed; was he being looked down upon like this?

They actually called me "uncle"?

Do you have a problem with your eyesight?

I take very good care of myself.

"Captain, have you noticed? This kid has such fair skin and a great figure. He's even more beautiful than this woman. Many women can't compare. And I really think he's promising. I really want to get my hands on him."

One of the skinny pirates looked at Martin with shining eyes, seemingly quite interested in men.

"Hey, this kid's not bad. Third brother, you take care of him, then we'll give him a good beating. I want to hear his screams!"

The bald, burly man at the head of the group gave the order to simply push Tashigi aside and wait to watch the show.

"okay!"

The gaunt man grinned lewdly and stepped forward, clenching his fists.

Tashigi was dumbfounded, seemingly not expecting that these pirates would be interested in a man.
