[One Piece] Isano's Rebel

The clouds almost merged with the night.

Under a thick layer of dark clouds, there is an uncontrollable dull aura.The night sky was pitch black, with no moonlight to shine, and even the moon could not be seen.Therefore, this merchant ship sailing at sea is almost hidden in the night.The shadow of the ship reflected on the sea is almost still, only the sails fluttering from time to time prove the subtle progress of the ship.

Suddenly, there were bursts of speedboat whistles in the distance, very subtle, and you couldn't hear them if you didn't listen carefully.

"Hello." A strong young porter put down the wooden box in his hand, and tapped on the shoulder of a lame old man next to him, "Didn't it mean that the route here has been monopolized by the people above?"

The shriveled old man who looked like a piece of dead wood turned his head slowly, he was a little deaf, and he didn't hear it until the young porter said it again, and he replied word by word in a hoarse voice, "What, where... What is there, siren sound."

The young porter was a little annoyed, and muttered, "Your old ears are not working well, so of course you can't hear."

He was probably tired, so he put the wooden box in his hand on the ground, intending to take a rest.

When the bottom of the wooden box touched the ground, there was a sound of glass colliding.The crisp sound was especially piercing in the silent night.

"Hey, you bastards over there—how many times have I said that!" A neatly dressed middle-aged man stood at the bow, pointing fingers at the workers, "If something goes wrong here! The life of the boatman is not enough to pay!"

"But—" the young man is full of blood after all, he stood up and said loudly regardless of the obstruction of the lame old man, "there have been rumors among the big guys that the leader above was assassinated a few years ago! Then we are wasting here What's the point of time?"

As soon as this remark came out, the workers were in a commotion.

As the young man said, this rumor began to appear a few years ago, saying that the employer and partner were assassinated on an unknown island.But these rumors are always suppressed by the people in charge. They have not received a wage until now, and the daily food is not even enough to fill their stomachs, and they have to live under the threat of gunpoint.Living like this, many people have already had the idea of ​​seeking death, but when they saw their companions being killed by those people, many people were afraid again, so they had to swallow their anger and live on.

The crippled old man hurriedly held the young man down. Before he could tell the fact that his leg was broken for asking a similar question a few years ago, a gunshot exploded in the crowd.

When everyone recovered from the panic and fear, the young man's chest had already been pierced by bullets.

Blood trickled slowly from the bullet holes.The young man's complexion also changed from the bloody color of exasperation to a pale ashes.

Everyone was too scared to speak.

Some of the rebels on the ship were thrown directly into the sea, and some were beaten to death, but they had never been shot to death like this.

"Hey, there's been a lot of dross in my thoughts lately. It's impossible not to deal with it quickly." The man touched the smoking muzzle with his fingers and smiled coldly.

Suddenly, a chuckle came from above the crowd, and then, a clear voice broke into the air that was originally filled with fear.

"Who doesn't want to do this business that only makes a profit. It's just that without the names of those guys, you probably won't be able to travel unimpeded on this route, so you're trying your best to cover up the facts, right?"

The tone was calm, but the cold aura emanating from that person made people shudder.

The appearance of the unexpected guest made the middle-aged man panic.He hastily ordered, and several snipers pointed their guns at the figure from the night.

After a burst of chaotic gunfire, when everyone thought that the man would be buried in the random shooting, the snipers who fired all fell down.

Accompanied by the heavy sound of the body falling to the ground, came the sound of footsteps that made people feel chills behind.

A light flashed in the dark night, it seemed to be the cold light from the man's eyes.

He smashed the dagger dripping with warm blood to the ground, and with a sound of rubbing, the sharp-edged dagger plunged straight into the wooden floor.

When the blood spread around the fallen snipers, the middle-aged man knew what a tough guy he had encountered.

That man was hit by a bullet, yes.

He suffered three bullet wounds, two on his arms and one on his knee.He dodged most of the bullets that might hit his vitals, and these three places where he was hit by bullets——there was no trace of bleeding.

The bullet lodged in the man's skin, denting it.He moved his arm slightly, and the bullet slid down and fell to the ground. The originally sunken place slowly turned into a small crater, and finally became as flat as ever.

Unscathed.

"You... who are you?! We have a navy and a world government involved in this deal, you..."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The man chuckled and picked up a few sniper rifles scattered on the ground.

"Because I am the Navy."

The middle-aged man trembled with fright. He couldn't control his legs for a while, and fell to the ground.The panic-stricken workers around them also became turbulent at this time, and many people jumped into the sea one after another in an attempt to find a way to escape.But after a few gunshots, no one dared to move again.The people who were still alive watched the body of their jumping companion sink and float in the sea. They didn't know what the man had done until dark red bloodstains spread on the sea surface.

The air gradually became humid.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but he could only let out a hoarse cry for help from his throat.He was so startled that he lost his voice.

Amid the bursts of gunshots, the man's voice seemed to be whispering from the devil in hell.

"The people above you were indeed assassinated a few years ago."

"The name of that island... To be honest, I don't really remember it."

Every time he said a word, several people fell down.

It was a killing with a known outcome.

"How should I put it, when you thought about making this sky-high price deal, you should have expected how big the risk would be."

"...Also, the navy involved in the transaction has been executed for leaking secrets. In other words, a month ago, the contact between you two was the last time."

The middle-aged man was so frightened that his pupils shrank suddenly, and his trembling eyes reflected the man's white clothes.

It was a white shirt that couldn't be more clean, but it wasn't stained with blood at all.

……

"Hmm... That tattoo is indeed a navy logo."

"That's it." Although she already knew that she had guessed right, it was beyond Ace's expectation that she would admit it so frankly.

"Then you really..." Ace pondered for a long time but couldn't think of an accurate evaluation, so he could only choke out, "It's pretty amazing."

His answer stunned Adelina for a moment, and then she laughed.

Some people say that she doesn't know life and death, and doesn't know right from wrong.

There was even one who told her never to set foot in Isano's house again.

It's amazing, it's the first time she heard this description.

She turned her head slightly, propped her head on one hand, and stared at the bright and energetic smile on this man's face like the sun.

Adelina knew him. She went to sea at the age of 17. After eating the burnt fruit, she became famous all over the world with the name of Fire Fist.

Of course she knew that.

Because two years ago, at the age of 15, she was still a Navy agent.

"...It really hasn't changed at all." She curled her lips and said softly.

Ace turned around and chatted with someone else just now, but just didn't hear what she said, so he turned around and asked, "Ah, what?"

"It's nothing."

Adelina pursed her lips, pretending that nothing happened.

Under the dim light, a trace of tiredness gradually appeared on her pretty face, probably because she was sleepy.

The moment Ace turned his head, he was caught off guard by her charming blue eyes.

The clear color of the sea.

Suddenly, there was no conversation between the two of them.It seemed that the noise all around had nothing to do with the silence here.

After an unknown amount of time, Adelina finally made a move. She slowly straightened up and stretched.Ace knew that she was going back to rest, but when she turned around and left, the fragrance faded away, that slender back seemed to touch a memory in his mind, and he was speechless for a moment .

"Hey."

...It seems that I didn't say it at that time.

"Your eyes are very beautiful."

The author has something to say:

Every time I write a fighting scene, there will be some words that cannot be displayed, and I am also very helpless TAT

Maybe it's because I keep writing about guns..
