Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

He was holding the sniper rifle "Qianlu" against his shoulder, looking at the battle in the distance through the round-framed single lens with a sight on his right eye.

"I didn't expect there would be someone so strong here." Van Oka lifted Qianlu up, put the two scopes in a line, and said coldly:

"Although they are two fools who are causing trouble, it will be difficult to explain to the captain if we let them die here."

boom! boom! boom!

He pulled the trigger repeatedly, but no flames spurted out from the front end of the extremely long gun barrel. Only a few bullets flew silently towards Reiner and others at an extremely fast speed.

The greatsword in the green ghost's hand slashed down fiercely, leaving a shocking gash on Badges' chest, through which the bloody interior of his body could be vaguely seen.

The red ghost raised his foot and kicked down violently. Although he crossed his arms in time to block it, his hands still made a "crackling" sound.

"Oww!!" The severe pain made Badgers' face distorted and he wailed in pain.

at this time.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

Three sparks suddenly appeared in the air, one of which was even right behind Reiner. The Blue Demon and the Red Demon used their swords and shields respectively to block the sudden bullets.

Behind Reiner, a barrier made of sand appeared out of nowhere, covered with a layer of dark armed color.

Looking in the direction where the bullet came from, with his eyesight, he could clearly see a man sitting cross-legged on the roof of a bell tower in the distance, pointing a gun at them.

Otokoshi - Van Oka, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates. Reiner remembered that in the original work, the opponent had accurately shot down a seagull with a sniper rifle on an island that Usopp could not see even with a telescope.

Two years later, he shot one cookie man after another, but later on, he was beaten up by Luo's subordinate Bepo, who transformed into a moon lion and used the power of a bear.

"Tch, forget it."

As soon as he turned around, Du Q's sick horse began to run away with him and Badgers on its back. Even if the two of them survived, they would be half disabled.

Reiner did not let the Blue Oni and the Red Oni chase after him. Instead, he held the eerie pale spear in his hand and aimed it at the bell tower in the distance.

"A family should be together and neat." Reiner grinned and looked into the distance.

On the clock tower, Van Oka looked at the blond man who was smiling at him, and instantly his hair stood on end, with a chill running down his spine.

"Damn it!" Before he could escape, two spears seemed to have crossed through space and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Boom! ! !

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire bell tower collapsed!

"Okay, let's call it a day and go meet up with Sanji." Reiner clapped his hands, picked up the purchased items, and left the messy battlefield with the wizard's undead.

The current strength of the Blackbeard Pirates is not enough. Except for Teach himself who has some strength, the others are still very young.

In fact, Reiner and his men are similar. Among the four current fighting forces, only the Blue Oni, Red Oni and the Mage Undead under Reiner are relatively strong. The others, including himself, are actually just rookies who have just entered the Grand Line.

Yes, I am still too green and should not think too highly of myself. You know, the road ahead is long and arduous.

"Hey Reiner, here!" After walking a few steps, he heard Sanji's call and walked straight over.

"Are you okay? I've been looking for you for a long time." Sanji was carrying big and small bags of food in his hands and a black bear on his shoulder.

"Oh wow, there's this thing too. I'm fine."

"I just heard a loud noise and came over." Sanji gestured to his shoulder.

"I heard that he escaped from the jungle on the east coast. Three pirates in this town died before he was hunted down."

"I'm just about to go to the ape's house, and I can cook it then."

"That's very thoughtful. Let's go back." Reiner took out the map and looked at it, then turned around and walked towards the Merry with Sanji.

When I was passing by a street, I happened to see a group of passers-by gathered together and talking.

"Hey, what's going on with this miserable situation?"

"This must be the territory of the Executioner Rocio. Why does it look like it's been bombarded?"

"It was Bellamy, Bellamy the Hound who did it."

"Rocío was a pirate with a bounty of 42 million berries, and he ended up like this."

Listening to the whispers of passers-by, Reiner and Sanji, who came over out of curiosity, gradually understood what was happening here.

"Young man, please ask."

"Wow! You scared me to death!"

Reiner put his arm around the shoulder of a young man in a yellow T-shirt. His sudden move had obviously frightened the man, but Reiner simply took out a few Baileys from his wallet, stuffed them into the man's chest pocket, and said softly:

"Excuse me, that hound Bellamy you mentioned, do you know where their base is?"

"Hey, why are you asking about this?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to react and said with an idea in his mind:

"I understand. You want to join them, right? But they are a famously brutal pirate group. You look so gentle and polite."

The young man hesitated, thinking that he had just taken the other party's money, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to say this to him, so he changed his words:

"Their base is on the coast. They have reserved the most famous 'Tropic Hotel' in Magic Valley Town. But just now it seemed like they were heading from here to the hotel over there."

The young man raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"Thanks, bro."

Reiner turned around and left with Sanji. The young man lowered his head and touched the money in his pocket, then looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help shouting:

"Hey! It's better not to go. If something happens, don't blame me for not advising you!"

"Don't worry! I won't go. Thanks, little brother!"

Without even turning back, the two of them walked away with the petite girl with twin ponytails, heading straight towards the Merry.

Until I passed a street and heard a loud and bold shout.

"The new era they talk about is just a pile of shit! Hahaha~~"

"A person's dream!!"

“It will never end!!!”

Chapter 77 I'm going to start showing off

Reiner turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. In addition to the three familiar figures, there was also a tall man sitting cross-legged opposite him.

He has fluffy black curly hair, a rough appearance and thick body hair. He is grinning, revealing a mouth full of missing teeth. His slightly wretched face shows a heroic temperament.

Blackbeard Teach, endured in obscurity on Whitebeard's ship, and even thought that if he could not encounter the Dark-Dark Fruit that he had always dreamed of, he would just spend his whole life on Whitebeard's ship. However.

The gears of fate eventually let this man encounter the devil fruit.

"let's go."

Luffy looked at Blackbeard expressionlessly as he stood up. Without saying anything, he raised his hand to lower the straw hat on his head and turned around. Blackbeard also turned around and left without saying a word.

Reiner watched Teach leave calmly, unmoved. He wondered what Teach would feel when he went back and saw his disabled subordinates. He had no plans to fight Blackbeard for the time being, and of course, he was not afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him.

It is true that he is afraid of the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit. It is different from the principle of seawater and seastone. Seastone can only deprive the ability user of physical strength, resulting in the inability to actively use the ability, but it will not directly deprive the ability. For example, Luffy still has a rubber physique after falling into the sea.

However, the ability of Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit is the opposite. Although he will not feel powerless when touched by the opponent, he will be completely unable to use his abilities.

This is the only method Reiner currently knows of that can directly target the Devil Fruit ability itself.

But Reiner knew that Blackbeard would be afraid of him as well. As long as he learned about the battle process from his subordinates, with Blackbeard's knowledge, it would not be difficult for him to judge the strength of Blue Oni and Red Oni.

If Blackbeard wants to cause trouble for him, he has to think about himself. Reiner doesn't know whether Blackbeard is reckless enough, but he knows that the other party is definitely insidious enough and able to endure.

Reiner collected his thoughts, smiled again, and walked towards Luffy and the others.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you two look so disheveled." Reiner joked as he looked at the two people who looked so disheveled.

Luffy and Zoro were covered in blood and soaked all over, looking like they had just been beaten up, but there was no anger on their faces. Instead, Luffy was grinning and laughing.

"It's nothing, let's go back."

"What do you mean it's nothing?" There was a sudden shout from behind, and Nami came up angrily and cursed:

"Why don't you fight back? What's the reason for fighting? What's the point? I just don't understand. Why do you have to endure this kind of humiliation? You're being laughed at by the whole hotel just for mentioning Sky Island!"

Nami pulled Luffy's ears and kept cursing. Reiner also knew that they had met Bellamy, and were ridiculed and beaten. Compared to Luffy's indifference, Nami was obviously very angry.

Apart from her, some dissatisfaction could be seen on the face of Zoro standing aside. He drew his sword when the other party attacked. He didn't need any other reason. Maintaining the captain's dignity was enough.

Luffy still spoke up to stop him. When had Zoro ever suffered such humiliation? But since the captain had spoken, he could only retract his sword and give up and be beaten.

He didn't blame Luffy. He knew why Luffy didn't take action, but he couldn't help but be angry, but he didn't explode like Nami did.

Reiner stepped forward and comforted him, "Maybe it's because dreams don't require force to gain recognition from others, and fighting doesn't necessarily require fists."

"Reiner! How can you say such things too!" Nami yelled at him, pointing at the tavern behind her, and said angrily:

"I don't care! These two guys don't want to fight, so you go beat them up. Just think of it as me being stingy. Go and give them a good beating!"

"Of course. It's no fun to go on an adventure with a grudge in your heart."

Reiner reached out and ruffled Nami's short orange hair, then walked straight to the tavern, "Do you remember our agreement, Luffy?"

"Okay, I understand." Luffy said lightly.

"Hey wait a minute Reiner, can you be on your own?"

"Don't worry, Reiner can handle them."

Luffy's words made Nami a little confused, and she couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you stop him this time?"

Luffy couldn't help but recall what Reiner had said to him before he set out to sea, and said:

"I figured it out! Just like Reiner said, if you go out to sea with an unhappy mood, the adventure will become boring. Although I don't care about what they did, you must be very angry."

Luffy turned to look at Nami and grinned, "I'm sorry, this time it's my fault, let Reiner make a scene."

-

If you can't act on your own will

——Then I won’t be a pirate anymore.

This is what Reiner said to Luffy before he went out to sea.

Having the ability but not doing whatever you want is a form of self-discipline.

Reiner has witnessed more advanced civilizations and read greater and deeper thoughts. He can maintain his own character even after gaining strength.
