Pirate Shadow Guardian

An unknown small town next to a garbage mountain.

Ajin is thin and has a mean look, but he is smart and ruthless beyond his appearance.

"Master Ajin, do we have to act together with these civilians?"

"Yes, the enemy may have space-related fruit abilities. If you don't want to be blown to pieces by the sudden explosives, you'd better take these civilians with you."

Yes, this is the plan that Akin came up with and was supported by the Kingdom of Goya.

These civilians were not even captured by Ajin, but were sent here by the Goya Kingdom.

They are just some untouchables who cannot pay taxes. They are not even citizens in the Goya Kingdom. These are the people who survived the garbage mountain last time.

Yang also gave them some money and let them leave the garbage mountain temporarily. But they still couldn't escape the disaster and were still found by the Kingdom of Goya, and even sent to Ajin.

Sending their own citizens directly to the pirates to deal with those enemies who seem to have good intentions towards their own citizens...

This is ironic, but not surprising.

Of course, some things are easier said than done.

To the outside world, the Goya Kingdom was naturally the victim. These poor people were abducted by the vicious Creek Pirates.

"Your mission is to target those three little devils. I heard they are all kind-hearted kids!"

Ajin said with a weird smile.

"Understood, Master Ajin! We will definitely complete this mission beautifully!"

"Remember! Those three little devils must be kept alive!"

"Yes!"

Although it is not difficult to deal with this kind of kid, the difficulty lies in his identity and background!

It would be fine if it was the Silver-haired Hunter Yang, but as someone who had offended a member of the World Government, even Garp had no position to protect him.

But these three little devils are different.

Not to mention that they didn't act together with Yang Ye at all. Even if they did, with their relationship with Garp, who would dare to touch them?

Anyway, Ajin doesn’t dare to move, and Creek doesn’t dare to move either!

This guy is the ancestor when he is alive! He is the king of hell when he is dead!

On the contrary, the legendary space-type devil fruit user is the easiest to deal with.

It’s not that Ajin is getting carried away, but it’s the consensus of this ocean.

Ordinary people are not mentioned for now. People with a certain status know that among the devil fruit users, space and time are only auxiliary types. Whether they are powerful or not depends on the user. (As the dominant force in the East China Sea, it is ridiculous not to know the devil fruit. Even if you don’t have knowledge, you should have knowledge. Even if you don’t have knowledge, you should read the news, right? The news of the new world can be transmitted to the East China Sea. There is no reason why the information about devil fruits is blank. I have slightly changed it here.)

The ability of the silver-haired hunter Yangye is undoubtedly of the teleportation type. The teleportation fruit ability, combined with the exquisite assassination technique, is indeed very powerful. But Jin is confident that a mere teenager, whose body has not yet fully grown, will definitely not have the ability to assassinate him!

This is the value of the ghost man Ajin!

As for gunpowder...

This is indeed a bit threatening.

But it's just a little threat!

He didn't believe that the other party could smash the burning gunpowder directly into his face!

Yang does have this ability, but he really can't use it.

why?

Because the risk is too great!

Light the gunpowder, then put it into the shadow space before it explodes, throw it in front of the enemy, and then run away.

It takes a long time to explain. If there is any mistake in the middle, the gunpowder might directly kill Yang.

Unless there is a time bomb or something like that, don't try this kind of operation lightly.

After all, it is theoretically feasible, but in reality it is fraught with dangers.

Meanwhile, the garbage mountain, the site of the explosion.

"Tsk tsk tsk, otherwise there are still some traces of explosions left here, I would have thought this was a pond!"

The vice-captain of the first division of the Creek Pirates under Akin said in surprise.

It rained the day before yesterday, and the holes caused by the explosion have been filled with rain water. Occasionally, even some small animals come here to drink water.

"Deputy Captain, are we going to set up camp here?"

“Yes, right here!”

The deputy captain said with some amusement.

Set up camp, make a fire, and then ask a few civilians to be in charge of grilling meat.

A group of people settled here openly. If these people were not armed and if the civilians were not tied up, this scene would look more like an outing.

Such an arrogant behavior naturally attracted Jasmine's attention, and the news also reached Yang Ye's ears.

"It seems that Zoro and the others are not far away?"

"Yes, brother."

"Then let them know and let them decide what to do."

Yang also suddenly felt that the information leak was not entirely a bad thing. At least, the safety of the three people was guaranteed.

Since they refuse to listen and insist on joining the war, let's increase their intensity and see how they deal with this kind of thing.

Ajin did not show up. He lived in the almost empty town and should be resting at this time.

Yang Ye's actions were almost always at night. He would take a short nap during the day to get enough rest. He was in a similar state at night.

He has already issued a challenge to Yang Ye, I wonder if this kid will accept it?

Yes, Yang Ye naturally understood such provocative behavior. Barbecue at the site of the explosion, with a large group of civilians. This is undoubtedly telling Yang Ye, I have seen through you, I will give you a chance, come and blow me up! Do you dare?

Yang really doesn’t dare!

If it were another place or another situation, he would blow up all those pirates, even civilians, without hesitation.

But not here!

He had to consider the possibility of the Goya Kingdom taking advantage of the situation, as well as the reactions of Garp and Ace Luffy.

Garbage Hill was the battlefield he proposed. If Yang Ye slaughtered civilians here, would Garb feel that these civilians died because of him? Yang Ye, who made Garp feel guilty, should be ready to face Garp's pursuit!

Obviously, Yang Ye is not Roger, and he does not want to live the life Roger has lived. Therefore, he is not prepared to try.

Now that we have finally established a good relationship with the Monk family, we naturally still have to be careful.

If it were in a different place, in a different situation, and someone threatened him with civilians, then he would definitely be... What does the life and death of others have to do with me?

As a kind-hearted passerby, Yang will definitely avenge the civilians killed by pirates and let them rest in peace.

That's it!

Let him surrender and be slaughtered for the sake of a stranger?

It's not like he has a hole in his brain, nor is he a police officer!

In the past life in China, there was such a group of people who took it as their mission to protect the people.

They were brave and fearless in the face of the criminals.

They are friendly and amiable towards the public.

They are the ones who put people’s lives and safety first!

When people are threatened by criminals, they are even willing to sacrifice themselves...

In Yang Ye's opinion, their behavior was extremely stupid!

However, he could not muster the slightest hint of mockery.

He knew that this kind of behavior was called faith!

When the people have faith, the country has strength.

This is not just empty talk!

Only after he had been in this world for a long time and had seen the cruelty of the sea did he understand more...

The power of China!

The bearing and demeanor of a great country that is not manifested in its military force but is ingrained in its blood!

I just don’t know how these three little guys would deal with this kind of hostage-taking scenario?

Yang also inexplicably felt a little bit of anticipation.

Should we surrender? Or fight to the death? Or... just stand by and watch?

Although he was looking forward to it, Yang was not prepared to participate.

If he gets involved, the whole thing will change.

Now, he needs to have a good rest.

The enemy has already issued a challenge, so he can't just pretend he didn't see it...
