Pirate: The dark fruit at the beginning was hunted down by Blackbeard

Kingdom of Halania, small town of Yaen.

The streets were a desolate scene.

Everyone looked at Ivan and his group with cold eyes.

"What a strange feeling." Ivan said.

Sara looked at Ivan, "This is what a town ruled by pirates is like. Not all pirates are as kind as you."

Feng Clay also looked around in despair and said nothing.

According to Robin's plan, Ivan and the others must first sneak into the people to investigate.

Reach out to them when they are at their most desperate.

This way you can gain the trust of the people.

...

The tavern was full of noise and the sound of glasses clinking.

"Come on, keep drinking."

"Is that all you can drink?"

"Hahahaha!"

Ivan has long been accustomed to this kind of environment in this pirate world.

There were wine bottles and fruit cores on the ground that had not been cleaned, and garbage was thrown on the ground, causing the place to smell of alcohol and sour food.

Ivan found a random seat and sat down.

Perhaps seeing someone coming, the guests in the tavern glanced at Ivan.

Some looked at Ivan, while others drank by themselves.

"Something feels bad here." Von Clay said softly.

"Hmm. Maybe they are all pirates." Sarah looked around.

"Boss, two bottles of rum, and I want a glass of juice." Ivan ordered the drinks first.

"The captain is still not used to drinking." Sara held her chin and looked at Ivan.

Ivan also looked around and looked at everyone.

He wants to find a breakthrough.

Stand with the people here and act as a savior when the people are in despair.

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, a pirate in the tavern laughed, "The king here is really stupid. He is such a wealthy country, but he doesn't pay the heavenly gold."

"Hehe." Another pirate said, "That's right, that's right. Want to resist the Celestial Dragons? That fool."

"It's good now. All members of the royal family have become slaves. It is said that the king's sister was also bought by the Celestial Dragons for 7 million beli?"

"7 million?" A skinny pirate said in surprise, "Although she is very beautiful, 7 million is too much."

"The Tianlong people are not short of money..."

Listening to the chatter of people in the tavern, Ivan also started thinking.

“A rich country, but it doesn’t pay heavenly gold?”

In Ivan's impression, there are indeed many countries that have not joined the world government.

Of course, these countries do not need to pay heavenly gold.

However, these countries are backed by powerful force, and ordinary pirates would not dare to provoke them.

For countries without strong military force, the best choice is to pay the heavenly gold honestly.

While Ivan was thinking, people around him were increasingly humiliating the royal family members.

"Haha, that idiot king."

"My brain must be flooded with water."

"I must be crying in some corner now..."

"What a pity, the beauty of the royal family."

"That's not necessarily the case. I just like to see royal beauties reduced to slaves."

"Haha, that king's sister, I even tasted her body."

"No way..."

"Hahaha......"

Happy laughter came and went.

"Shut up!!" At this moment, in the corner, a petite figure wearing a black hood stood up.

It was a woman with a bright voice.

Originally sitting in the corner, no one noticed her presence.

In an instant, the tavern became calm.

However, it wasn't long before the laughter grew louder again.

"Hahaha, isn't this the captain of the King's Guard, Miss Delia?"

"The army has been dispersed, and you are the only one left. What can you do?"

"As expected of that idiot king, he has obviously escaped and is coming back..."

"Can't you wait to be my slave?"

I saw the hooded girl taking off her hood, and her blond hair flowed down.

The heroic face was full of stubbornness.

She took out a long sword used by nobles and pointed it directly at the pirate in the tavern.

At this moment, a tall pirate stood out from the crowd.

"Surrender, you can suffer less."

This pirate has dark skin and stands about two meters tall.His face and arms are covered with tattoos of unknown symbols.

"Rudia, murderer king Rudia..." someone in the crowd shouted.

The hooded girl took two steps back, her sword still pointing directly at the crowd.

"bring it on."

Perhaps because they were afraid of the girl's strength, no one in the crowd dared to take action.

However, it can still be clearly seen that the girl is at a disadvantage.

Perhaps she knew she had nowhere to escape, but suddenly, the girl raised her sword and turned from defense to attack, charging into the crowd first.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The two pirates fell to the ground.

The pirates got excited, picked up their scimitars and attacked the girl.

"Whoa!" Another sword blow.

Even if the girl moves very quickly.

But surrounded by everyone, the girl was still exhausted.

Even, he was hit with a sword in the back.

After a while, the girl's long sword was knocked to the ground, completely losing its mobility.

Just when a pirate wanted to chop off the girl's head.

The big man suddenly appeared and pushed the pirate away.

"It would be a pity to kill such a beautiful woman." The murderer king smiled, "If we sell her as a slave, we should be able to make a lot of money."

As he spoke, he strangled the girl's neck with his hands.The girl's eyes were almost squeezed out.

"Although it is a bit difficult to tame, if you sell it to that person, you can probably be trained into a docile slave." Rudia smiled.

The girl shook her head, still trying desperately to break free.

......

"Is it over?" Delia was a little unwilling.

After the king's fall, she has been planning a restoration plan with her former subordinates.

However, the enemy was too strong and all his team was wiped out.

Even under the desperate protection of his adjutant, he guessed he got a chance to survive.

"Is this over?" Delia felt her spirit getting weaker and weaker, and she could hardly breathe.

"Slave!" She couldn't imagine being a slave.

If possible, she would rather commit suicide...

At this moment, a bolt of lightning appeared behind Rudia.

In Delia's blurred vision, she could only see Rudia's head flying out, and then blood spurted out.

The strength of the palm pinching his neck also weakened.

Delia used all her strength to break open her fingers, and then fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" The frightened voices of the pirates came from all around.

The man who turned into lightning did not speak, but was killing people crazily in the tavern...

After a while, he had wiped out all the pirates in the tavern.

Seeing all this, Delia didn't know what to say.

"Are you here to save me? Or..." Delia was a little unsure.

But if you want to restore the country, this man must be a good helper.

Delia took a deep breath.

Then he mustered up the courage to come to the man.

She tried her best to make a flattering expression; although she had the dignity of a warrior, she really couldn't be dignified when facing such a strong man.

"You...why do you want to help me?"

"No reason!" the man said, "When I saw a beautiful woman being bullied, I unconsciously took action."

"Uh..." There were three black lines on Delia's face.

This feeling is like being harassed.

However, it seems that he is not a bad person.Maybe he can actually be used to save the country.

"So, as a thank you, can you... let me... buy you something to drink?" Delia said awkwardly, looking at the pub full of corpses around her.

"Okay." The man smiled, "Thank you then..."

......

"Successful!" Ivan secretly thought.

It seems that he has gained this girl's trust.

Next, just discuss with her a plan to save the country.

Leave the tavern.

Because the boss was also killed by Ivan, Ivan did not pay for these drinks.

The soldier captain named Delia also followed Ivan and seemed to be glued to Ivan.

"Well, I haven't asked your name yet." Delia came to Ivan and said, "My name is Delia."

"I am Ivan." Ivan said.

Originally, Ivan thought that his name as Shichibukai would shock Delia.

However, Delia seemed not to know and just nodded slightly.

"If you kill Shank's people, Shank will definitely cause trouble for you." Delia said, "You'd better leave this country as soon as possible."

Ivan glanced at Delia.

He knew that this girl just wanted to use provocation.

Even if she expressed the idea of ​​leaving, she would definitely stop her.

"Sorry, I won't leave." Ivan said, "How can I leave when I see you looking so embarrassed?"

Delia's expression was a little moved.

"Thank you," she said softly.

......

Along the way, Delia told Ivan about the situation in the town.

This is a town run by pirates.

The leader of the town is Iron Hook Shank.

The entire Kingdom of Halania is basically in this state.

Some pirates divided the territory within the king and continued to exploit the residents of the kingdom.

"In the tavern, I heard that you are the captain of the king's guard, right?" Ivan asked.

"Yes." Delia said, "After the king was occupied by pirates, I have been resisting in the dark. However, my power is too weak."

"Why do you have to go to this point?" Ivan asked, "After the king is destroyed, you can just leave. There is no need to go to this point."

"The king, Rabbi Sundia, and I are childhood friends." Delia said, "His dream is to build a country where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. However, because of the 'Heavenly Gold', the entire country's citizens All living in poverty.”

"Even for some rich countries, it is already difficult to pay heavenly gold, let alone poor countries."

"So, in protest, the king refused to submit a confession to the Celestial Dragons?" Ivan asked.

"Well..." Delia nodded, "He first proposed to the World Government to reduce the amount of Heavenly Gold. After being rejected, he distributed this year's Heavenly Gold to the citizens as a protest."

"Then, the pirates came. Wave after wave, and before long, the country was completely captured."

"That's right!" Ivan nodded, "You want to restore the country, right?"

"Yeah." Delia said firmly.

"Then, I can help you, and after the restoration of the country, I can also protect the country."

Delia looked at Ivan in disbelief, "Who are you?"

"I am Ivan, captain of the Black Flame Pirates of the Shichibukai."

"Shichibukai?" Delia couldn't believe it, "Are you... a pirate?"

As she spoke, she even took a few steps back.

"Yes, but I am different from these pirates." Ivan said, "I will save this country. And I will not harm the people of this country."

Delia looked at Ivan with some suspicion, and then nodded helplessly.
