A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

The claim that they cared deeply for Nami is unfounded.

And he.

There's no need to try to get close to these villagers.

After all, most people in the world go with the flow. Don't be fooled by their kind and friendly appearance; they might turn on you and stab you in the back.

this kind of thing.

It can be said that this is not uncommon.

For example.

After Pakistan offered a bounty on the Navy, some villagers, for the money, murdered Vice Admiral T-Bone.

Qi Bai knew quite a bit about this naval officer when he read the comics.

It is a good and excellent navy.

If there is justice within the navy...

Therefore, this T-bone general must be one of them.

visible.

There is absolutely no need for someone to act as some kind of savior.

Said without politeness.

Qi Bai is the kind of egoist who, having spent so many years navigating the complexities of society, is quite knowledgeable about the fickleness of human relationships.

Instead of radiating warmth like a central air conditioner, it's better to be a little selfish and just enjoy your own happiness.

It is precisely because of this.

After the system is started.

He merely made a casual remark before readily accepting his decision to become a ruthless bandit.

Furthermore, there was no objection whatsoever.

……

With the help of the villagers, Nami and Nojiko's belongings were also loaded onto the ship.

"Set off."

Qi Bai said.

Without hesitation, he shouted loudly.

The Arlong Pirates' ship is indeed quite impressive; it's very large and can easily accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people.

Qi Bai suspected that a portion of the protection money the Arlong Pirates had collected in the vicinity of Cocoyasi Village over the years was likely used by Arlong to renovate his own ships.

but.

The renovation was nice, but now, the boat belongs to him.

The boat started moving and gradually moved away from the shore.

shore.

The villagers of Cocoyasi watched Qi Bai and the others leave in silence. Of course, the people they saw off were Nami and Nojiko.

Although they selfishly watched Nami work hard for the village for eight years, they remained silent for a full eight years.

They didn't offer Nami any help whatsoever during the entire process.

Undoubtedly, this is a selfish act.

However, from an emotional perspective...

They still felt guilty towards the Nami and Nojiko sisters.

When the Arlong Pirates were around.

They were silent.

Up to now.

After Qi Bai and his crew defeated the Arlong Pirates, they used them as leverage to force Nami and Nojiko to go with them. This undoubtedly meant that Nami and Nojiko sacrificed themselves for the village once again.

However, these villagers, still gripped by fear, chose to remain silent.

Therefore.

They felt guilty towards the Nami sisters.

But they really didn't have the courage to stand up.

After weighing the gains and losses in their minds.

I certainly don't want it to be like this.

He tried to comfort himself.

Nami and Nojiko following that group might be a good thing. They killed members of the Arlong Pirates, so perhaps they weren't bad people after all, and their lives might not be so hard.

of course.

That's just self-comforting nonsense.

……

On the sea.

Qi Bai and the others gradually moved away.

With Nami as our navigator.

He wasn't worried that he and his companions would get lost at sea.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Nami also moved closer to Qi Bai and asked him a question.

Even if she is a navigator, she still needs a goal to go forward, otherwise, would all the people on the ship just drift on the sea?

"Go to Xiluobu Village."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Bai gave Ke Ya his answer.

He had considered this issue while waiting for Nami and the others.

If you start from the three points you've identified.

Then.

These goals seem to have a clear direction.

That is.

They don't target ordinary people.

That's right.

What kind of money can an ordinary person have?

What kind of strength can an ordinary person have?

What impact would it have on ordinary people?

What kind of fame can an ordinary person have?

……

Therefore, once these questions came to his mind, he immediately eliminated ordinary people from his list of action goals.

He felt that the ratings for some E-level, D-level, and C-level thug operations were really meaningless.

Compared to these.

He was more concerned with the big goals that could bring him high evaluations.

Therefore, when choosing a target.

He has already identified several general target standards.

A powerful, famous, and wealthy pirate!

A nobleman who has status and a lot of money but no real power!

And finally... some people who hold higher positions in the navy!

……

These guys could all become his targets.

That's why he wanted to go to Syrup Village to take care of the Black Cat Pirates of Hundred Plans Cloak first.

Also.

He also wanted to ask Kaya's butler, Merry, to help him modify the ship. After all, Kaya had saved his life, and she shouldn't be stingy with her help.

After all, this ship simply doesn't fit Qi Bai's aesthetic sense.

too ugly!

But it's normal.

You know, even dragons are pretty ugly, so how could they possibly create something like a fancy pirate ship?

……

After hearing Qi Bai's order.

Nami obediently did as she was told.

just now.

The two sisters are already on Qi Bai's pirate ship. As for escaping, the chance of success is less than 0.000001%, so there's no need to think about escaping for now.

Moreover, the other party directly held their lifeline in their hands.

If they dare to run away.

Qi Bai might just go straight back to Cocoa West Village and kill all the villagers.

Therefore, running away is out of the question.

He could only obediently serve as Qi Bai's subordinate on his ship.

The pirate ship had sailed some distance away.

And just then.

boom!

Suddenly, artillery shells started flying towards them from not far away.

The explosion hit the sea near Qi Bai's pirate ship, creating a large splash.

When you encounter something like this...

Qi Bai and the others immediately turned their gazes in that direction.

I spotted it in the distance at a glance.

There was a ship.

"A naval ship?"

The enemy ship had very obvious naval markings, and there was only one enemy ship nearby, so it was only possible that the enemy was firing at them.

"What a bunch of idiots!"

Qi Bai's expression immediately turned cold.

Why are the Marines around here, and why are they suddenly attacking Arlong Pirates' ship?

Qi Bai had no time to consider any of these things.

But one thing is certain.

The navy warships have opened fire on them.

Then.
