Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"The number is too small, the strength is too weak, and it is not enough to kill!"

Hawkins touched his chin and felt a little unsatisfied after casually killing a few pirates who climbed into the war house.

In addition to the cadres, there are hundreds of replica soldiers who are also cleaning up the battlefield in an orderly manner, focusing on those who want to escape and the pirates who have not yet died!

In less than 10 minutes, there were only less than 100 pirates left out of the thousands.

And those guys with little strength were all divided up by the cadres long ago and sent to the underworld to report!

"That...Brent and the others..."

Bettina hesitated to speak. At this moment, the friends she knew suddenly became so strange.

"Everyone is the same. This is the era of great pirates. Pirates are a bunch of pitiful people."

"As for Brent, despite his usual good-natured appearance, you must know that that guy was a slave."

"The reason why it's so cheap is because the previous buyer was killed by him, and I am his second buyer!"

Hawkins shrugged. If he hadn't been very strong and used Brent to make a voodoo doll, he would most likely have followed in the footsteps of his predecessor!

The friendship was slowly established later. As a swordsman, Brent was not as innocent as he appeared.

"Yeah, it's been so long that I almost forgot."

Bettina nodded, she naturally knew about this: "What about you?"

Others may have said so, but Hawkins was born into a noble family. He had all the basic necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He even had maids to take care of him since he was a child.

Hawkins' anomaly made Bettina quite worried. Is it because of the island?Those substances that make people inexplicably violent.

"I am naturally a product of this era. Survival of the fittest. I am just following the trend of the times." Hawkins replied softly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

What's the use of just knocking him down?

Maybe next time they meet, they will be plotted and retaliated by the other party. Naturally, it would be better to kill them all.

And they rarely stir up trouble. If others don't respond when they come knocking, then you can properly imagine the consequences of being defeated.

No matter how you think about it, those pirates don't seem to be merciful!

Many serious mistakes begin with small oversights.

If the Straw Hats had simply killed those bounty hunters, Mermaid Kemi wouldn't have been kidnapped and auctioned off, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble!

The fight between pirates is not just a fight. Everyone must understand how terrible the price of provoking them is.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong!

Just like after the cadres of the Hawkins Pirates tortured the pirates, the clamoring madmen began to fear and retreat.

It's a pity that Hawkins will not give them a chance to regret!

……

"thump!"

It wasn't until the last pirate fell to the ground that the battle finally came to an end.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the surrounding grass had been infested with blood. The corpses of these people might have been eaten by wild beasts, or turned into nutrients to nourish the earth. They were considered worthy of death!

"Hurrah!"

The wind roared furiously, and the tornado in the sky that enveloped the entire island gradually slowed down, and finally disappeared completely.

Everyone watched this strange scene quietly, feeling a little dazed.

According to the results of Hawkins and Nige's investigation this morning, all these changes originated from the war more than 100 years ago.

What a terrifying weapon it must be to be able to do this!

"Let's go, friends."

"There will be more interesting things in the new world, and this journey is still long!"

Hawkins spoke calmly.

There was only one hour left, and he didn't want to experience a tsunami of the previous magnitude again!

"It's such an interesting island. There are seven routes. I don't know what other routes have."

"Boss Hawkins, after we dominate the new world, will we go through every route?"

"What a great idea. In this case, wouldn't we be able to travel around the world seven times? Such a life would be so exciting!"

"Then don't die, I don't want to carry your ashes around the world!"

"Hahahahaha..."

……

after an hour,

Everyone could vaguely see a complete black shadow stretching into the sky, and the tsunami in the distance swept across again.

However, the war house has left that area, and the tsunami cannot affect them!

"Jemory, how many days will it take for the next island?" Baker asked enthusiastically.

He can't wait for his next new adventure!

"The next island...about three days later, a very large island called the Kingdom of Atria."

"The Kingdom of Atria? Is it a member country of the World Government?"

"It is a non-franchised country, and the entire kingdom has a population of about 400 million."

"Since the Great Pirate Era, as countless pirates have continued to pour into the Grand Line, the Kingdom of Atria has declined day by day. Except for the royal capital Tiresos, all towns have been occupied by pirates!"

Jamory sighed softly and said.

Most of the pirates who dare to enter the Grand Line are famous pirate groups in the four seas.

Even though the first half of the Grand Line is called a paradise, the number and strength of pirates alone are still far above the four seas, and it is difficult for countries with insufficient military strength to gain a foothold!

"In this case, it's almost the same as a pirate country. Doesn't the World Government care?" Elise asked curiously.

This place where pirates are entrenched is located in the first half of the Grand Line, so it shouldn't be difficult to clean it up!

Just like her hometown, although it was occupied by pirates for two years, the navy later dispatched to destroy the pirates.

"I get it roughly."

Brent shook his head: "It's not that I don't care, it's that the gains outweigh the losses!"

Oh?

Elise was slightly surprised and gave Brent a strange look.

She remembered that this was Brent's first time to come to the Grand Line. Did she hear about the Kingdom of Atria?

"Just think about it. With so many pirates gathering together, there will be constant fighting, and they will also attract countless bounty hunters. The number of casualties every day is a terrifying number."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Kingdom of Atria is only the second island in the first half of the great route. Only one island in ten can successfully reach the Chambord Islands. It will undoubtedly be ten times easier to destroy them when the time comes."

"Sacrificing a mere non-franchise country can eliminate countless pirates every year. Why not?"

That's it!

After hearing Brent's words, everyone realized slightly that there was nothing more efficient than letting the pirates kill each other.

Moreover, non-franchised countries are not under the jurisdiction of the world government, and there is no sacrifice.

"In other words, not only do we have to be careful of other pirate groups, but we also have to be wary of an astonishing number of bounty hunters!"

"I'm a little curious about how the royal capital of Tiresos was preserved in the face of the incoming pirates."

"Haha, if there's anything you're curious about, you'll find out when you go and see it."

Kingdom of Atria! ! !
