The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

"Ah...ah!!!"

In an instant, Hughes broke down.

Before he could even scream in agony for a few seconds, two figures locked in combat flew in and smashed Hughes into a bloody mist.

Morgan and Burns, who had been locked in combat, suddenly stopped and stood amidst the blood and flesh on the ground, speaking in unison in a low, eerie voice.

"The moment you pick up a gun, you must be prepared to be killed."

“I’ve already prepared myself for this. If I lose one day, you can cut off my head and use it as a ball, or you can cut me into pieces and throw me into a cesspool… No matter how miserable the outcome, I will accept it.”

"Of course, that's on the condition that you can beat me! Otherwise, hehehehe!"

"And you... seem not to be psychologically prepared to enter this meat grinder called 'Power Struggle'."

Chapter 58 The Art of Accidental Injury

"Are you crazy? You actually want to stop those two monsters!"

On a street corner, Vincent held onto Dragon tightly from behind, preventing him from losing his senses and running off to his death.

Seeing that he couldn't break free from the arms that were wrapped around his waist, Dorrag had no choice but to turn around and persuade them:

"Their reckless fighting damaged countless homes, and the aftermath killed countless people!"

We can't let them continue this nonsense!

Compared to when he was terrified upon first seeing the Valley of the Gods, he is now much more determined and knows exactly what he should do in this situation.

"Calm down!"

Vincent jerked his head back and then thrust it out with force, slamming it heavily into Dragon's forehead.

"Look carefully! Apart from the collapsed buildings, no innocent civilians were injured! Those who died were all members of that gang who bullied men and women!"

Dorag winced in pain, his turbulent emotions cooling down as he calmed down and turned to survey the devastated streets.

Indeed, as Vincent said, the pools of blood and flesh on the ground seemed to be mixed with tattered pieces of the black suit.

This was a targeted cleanup!

"So we're just going to watch and do nothing?" Dragon still wanted to do something, otherwise he felt empty inside.

Vincent released his grip on Dragon, scratched his forehead to gather his thoughts, and said haltingly:

"Well... how should I put it? Actually, whether it's the navy or pirates, as long as they can help us directly or indirectly, they are useful."

"This gang will do anything for money, they even cooperate with nobles to traffic people to slave traders. We have rescued quite a few people from them these days."

"So... let's not worry about what those two are up to. At least they've genuinely helped us, haven't they?"

"Alright then." Dragon felt that Vincent's words made sense, and nodded stiffly.

Seeing that Dragon still looked stiff, Vincent put his arm around his shoulder and grinned.

"The slaves we rescued have become our partners. Now that we have gathered enough strength to take action against the taxes, let's take care of our own affairs first!"

"Yes! Overthrow the corrupt nobles and regime!"

This time, Dorrag nodded emphatically, without the slightest reluctance.

These days with Vincent, he has found his path and will no longer be lost!

the other side

Morgan and Burns resumed their fight, moving towards the mayor's house as they fought.

As the two passed by, houses and buildings collapsed or fell down, making it seem like an ultimate demolition team.

This was John's doing.

Although he is a narrow-minded and petty person, he is not so idle as to retaliate against someone just because they have been insulted a few times.

No one can please everyone, not even a god!

It's normal to be envied and cursed.

But now that it's an easy thing for him, he naturally has to seize the opportunity to get revenge and bankrupt all of these guys!

Township government

"Mayor, you have to think of something! Those two guys have almost completely demolished the entire town of Shells!"

"What on earth is the Navy doing?! We're going to complain to the World Government!"

"Quickly call the Kingdom Guard to stop those two bastards!"

The hall was packed with townspeople, all red-faced and furious, spitting as they protested the Navy's dereliction of duty to old Shields, who stood behind the marble service counter.

Ignoring the noisy protests, old Shields stared grimly at the Den Den Mushi that had just been hung up on the marble counter, his brow furrowed as he pondered what conspiracy lay behind it all.

In the current situation, as the mayor of Shells, he only has conflicts of interest with the Philosophers and the Isaiah family.

Meanwhile, Burns, the commander of the 153rd Marine base, and the pirate Morgan were his long-term, secret partners.

They share many common interests.

He had anticipated that Burns would either silence Morgan or find an opportunity to release him.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I never expected that these two guys would fight in town and even deliberately damage the town's property!

What conspiracy is behind this?!

What good would it do them?!

"Mayor, say something!"

The townspeople's voices suddenly snapped old Shells out of his thoughts. He looked up, gestured for everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice, "..."

"I have already spoken with the Grand Councilor on the phone, and he will send the Royal Guard over. They will arrive in about half an hour."

"Please bear with us for a moment, it will be completely safe in half an hour."

No sooner had the words been spoken than the townspeople, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, came screams of terror from outside the town hall.

"Mayor, those two guys are attacking!"

"what?!"

"Run! Run!"

In an instant, the townspeople inside the hall surged out frantically, pushing and shoving each other, revealing the ugly nature of humanity in a state of despair.

"Those two bastards!"

Old Shields was so angry that he gritted his teeth and, without any hesitation, turned around and prepared to escape through the back door of the town hall to seek refuge.

bang

But at that moment, a large hole broke open in the thick limestone wall of the town hall, and gravel and sand flew everywhere.

Two figures appeared amidst the swirling sand and dust, exchanging punches and shouting "Ora!" at each other, their blows landing with a satisfying, visceral impact.

Old Shields turned pale with fright as he watched the two men moving toward him while fighting. His legs trembled so badly that he almost fell flat on his face.

Fortunately, he had two servants on either side who quickly went to help him up.

thud

Suddenly, a dull thud was heard, and Burns was sent flying, knocking down two servants and passing over old Shields' head.

Old Shields fell straight to the ground without anyone helping him, his two front teeth making intimate contact with the marble floor tiles and flying out of his mouth.

"Ah! What the hell are you two bastards trying to do?!"

Old Shields lay on the ground in a fit of impotent rage, unable to understand what he had done to offend these two guys so much that they would put on such a show to target him.

The reason he knew all these "insider details" was because they were colluding, but he couldn't reveal it to everyone.

Even if you break a tooth, you can only swallow it!

"Ora!"

Morgan roared and leaped onto old Shields' back, stomping the struggling old Shields back down.

Burns, who had been knocked away, sprinted back, stepped on old Shields' hand, and punched Morgan.

Morgan dodged the punch by sidestepping, but the twisting of his shoe sole tore at old Shields' back.

"Ouch!!! It hurts! Ouch, it hurts! Waaah..."

Old Shields screamed in pain, then Burns slapped him across the face with his right foot, causing him to spit out two back teeth and a mouthful of blood.

The two fought on old Shields' back. Although they didn't create any huge shockwaves, each exchange resulted in old Shields getting injured.

Chapter 59 The New Master of Branch 153

Naval 153rd Branch Base

"I fell in love with your daughter, and you tried to kill me! Today you'll be severely punished!"

John sat cross-legged on his desk, his fingers moving rapidly as he controlled the fight that was taking place in a distant town.

This move was inspired by the "pet electric shock collar" from his hometown and Doflamingo's "parasite thread".

It's incredibly useful!

"However, let's not kill this old Shields."

John's eyes flickered as he recalled the scene of his time with Sabrina not long ago.

Half an hour ago

Beside the flowerbed in the manor, the two sat close together on a bench.

"Actually, I owe 30 million Berries in high-interest loans, and I also bought this manor with borrowed money."

"Huh? Why do you need to borrow money?!"

Sabrina abruptly released her grip on John's arm, her jewel-like pink eyes fixed intently on his profile.

John hung his head and sighed, shaking his head with a look of regret.

"Because I was terrified of being poor, and I desperately wanted to be rich, I couldn't control myself..."
