People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

"Uncle, can you tell me where I can stay?"

The old man glanced at Luo and explained to him helplessly: "You have also seen the situation of the Hall family. No one in this town dares to do business, so there is no hotel at all."

"That's it."

Luo finally understood why everyone looked at him so strangely, and hid in the house as soon as he saw him.

Perhaps they thought they were members of the Hall family.

"Outsiders, you'd better leave here quickly. Even though Hall seemed to be very talkative just now, he might just go back and gather people to prepare to come back to avenge you."

After saying that, the old man sighed and was about to close the door, but Luo held the door down with his hand.

"Then, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to say that, old man?"

"I'm already old, and there's no one else in the family, so I don't care about this at all." Although the old man said it didn't matter, there was still an uncontrollable look of sadness and despair on his face.

Luo thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about this, old man, can you just let me live in your house?"

"my home?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, didn't I tell you just now? The Hall family will definitely not let you go. If you lived here, wouldn't you just be bumped into by him? And I don’t have 100 million to give him.”

"If you are worried about money, if Hall and the others come back again, I will pay for your 100 million."

Luo opened the package on his back, took out a gold coin with a face value of 100 million beli and put it in the old man's hand.

100! ?

This is real!

The old man's eyes bulged. This was the first time he had seen Bailey with such a large denomination.

While the old man was in shock, Luo had already slipped into the house through the crack in the door. The old man's house was very simply decorated, with no extra things except some furniture necessary for daily life.

By the time the old man reacted, Luo had already sat down at the simple dining table and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.

At this point, the old man finally saw that this young man was relying on him, so he helplessly pointed to a room and said: "You can live there. That was my son's room. Although he is not here now, I’m still cleaning every day, so you can live wherever you want.”

Seeing that the old man finally accepted him and let him live here, Luo was relieved.

"Old man, what happened to your son?"

As if he heard the underlying meaning of Luo's words, the old man glanced at him and said, "My son is fine. He just went out to be a pirate with a red-haired guy."

……

While Luo was chatting with his old man, the Hall family, who had fled in panic, also returned to their base on the edge of the town, a manor that originally belonged to a rich man here.

"Hoo! Hoo! That guy is really weird."

"Boss, I suspect he is a devil fruit user."

"Devil Fruit?!"

"Yes, it's something worth [-] million on the black market. After people eat it, they will gain all kinds of strange abilities."

"Although I have heard of the Devil Fruit a long time ago, I didn't expect it to be so strong and completely incapable of fighting back!"

"Boss, should we also buy one and try it?"

"Buy one?" After hearing his subordinate's suggestion and recalling the opponent's ability to restrain all of them without even moving a finger, Hall seemed to be a little moved. He asked excitedly: "Let's How much money do you have on hand now?"

"One hundred and sixty million!"

Just enough to buy one!

Hall became even more excited: "Which of you knows where there is a black market?"

"I heard there is one in a town not far from here."

"Let's go! Let's get a devil fruit and try it too."

Hearing Hall's words, the younger brothers of the Hall family all became excited. A group of people simply packed up and set off in a mighty manner.

For several days, Luo stayed at his old uncle's house and finally figured out the current situation of the town.

There are a total of more than a dozen towns nearby, which happen to be at the junction of three countries. This also leads to the fact that no one in the three countries is willing to take care of this place, so the mafia has the conditions to survive.

Although they can escape, everyone who wants to move out must pay all their personal property before they can leave. In addition, these mafiosi know that they cannot rest on their laurels.

Therefore, as long as they do not violate the rules set by the mafia, there will not be much obstacles in their lives.

The group of teenagers Luo met before were an organization that had recently formed spontaneously to protect the residents of the town from being blackmailed by the mafia.

However, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, this group of people only dared to deal with lone mafia members. Once the main force of the opponent was dispatched, they would flee.

So not only did the Hall family, who currently controlled the town, ignore them, but even the residents of the town never counted on them.

But the old man does know that these teenagers seem to be preparing for some big move recently.

After understanding this clearly, Luo locked himself in the room every day, and the old man could only see him when he was about to eat.

Sometimes the old man wonders what Luo does every day, but occasionally when he sees that the room remains exactly the same as he cleans it, he feels even more mysterious about this young man.

On this day, Luo locked himself in the house again after finishing his meal.

The old man hesitated for a long time, but finally made up his mind to find out, so he specially found a spare key.

He put his ear on the door and listened for a long time, but there was no movement inside. Then the old man inserted the spare key into the lock, turned it, and the door opened with a "squeak".

There was no one inside.

The old man looked like he had seen a ghost and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He had just seen Luo go back to the room directly after eating.

Why is there no one inside?

Could it be that he really is a ghost?

The old man looked frightened and took a step back. However, what he didn't realize was that his step almost scared Luo out of his wits.

"You almost became the first apostle to be trampled to death by an ordinary person."

Luo looked at the mountain-like old man next to him, patted his chest with fear on his face, and shrugged helplessly: "I still can't accept the plan to make this entire town fall into pain. If I have to do this, At least I can’t let the old man know that I did it.”

"You are free to do whatever you want. I just need to gather enough faith."
