Kokoaxi Village, on the shore.
The patrol ship slowly stopped, and Coles led fifty naval soldiers up and down.
The inspection mission this time is to find the corrupt navy of the 16th branch that is colluding with pirates.
And without a doubt, the biggest corrupt navy officer is Colonel Rat!
But even if I knew.
Coles couldn't just go over and arrest anyone.
Because in the absence of evidence, Colonel Mouse could have simply denied it.
Therefore, Coles did not take the patrol ship to the 16th Navy Branch first, but came to the Kokoasi Village to investigate first.
To the east of Cocoa Village is Arlong Paradise, where we just need to find evidence of the other party colluding with pirates.
Then the mouse colonel can't run away!
…
The sun is high in the sky.
The weather is hot, but the atmosphere in Kokoasi Village is very cold.
There was no other reason, it was just because a dozen or so fishmen were standing in the square in the center of the village.
Cocoa West Village used to be a peaceful village, and the villagers led an ordinary and happy life every day. But since the arrival of the Arlong Pirates five years ago, all this has changed.
This group of powerful fishmen charged the villagers fees under the pretext of establishing an empire. If they did not comply, the entire village would be destroyed. Sacrifices and bloodshed never stopped from the beginning.
The villagers reported to the navy stationed nearby, but no navy came to attack the Arlong Pirates.
As time went by, the villagers realized that the navy nearby and the Arlong Pirates were birds of a feather, and praying for the navy to come to rescue them was simply wishful thinking.
Under the military rule of the Arlong Pirates, the villagers gradually dared not resist, but the high monthly protection fees still made it difficult for the villagers to move forward.
finally.
Not long ago, someone bypassed the branch here and delivered news to the rest of the naval bases.
But this matter has now been known by the Arlong Pirate Group.
Bang!
The huge parasol in the center of the village fell down with a loud bang.
A sturdy blue fishman grabbed a middle-aged man's neck with his right hand and lifted him up easily.
The strength of the murlocs is naturally ten times that of humans, so these ordinary villagers have no way to resist.
"Jiu, didn't you hear what Chief A'long said before? Whoever dares to report what happened here will die!"
The middle-aged man caught by the fishman was wearing a brown sheriff's uniform, his face was covered with knife wounds, and he looked very pitiful.
He is Jianzuo, the village policeman of Kokoyasi Village.
The fishman who was pinching Kensaku's neck was a cadre of the Arlong Pirates named "Chiu". His lips were very prominent and he looked like a mullet.
Kensaku's neck was getting redder and redder from being pinched by Jiu, and he was almost unable to breathe. Finally, the fishman cadre Jiu threw Kensaku hard to the ground.
At this time, many villagers had gathered around. After seeing this scene, they couldn't help but look terrified and uttered various exclamations.
"Mr. Kensaku, how are you?"
"Are you okay?"
Jiansaku waved his hand, signaling everyone not to come over.
Because the fishman cadre had already taken out a brown flintlock rifle.
"Tell me, who reported it?"
"You can kill me, but I won't answer." Kensaku answered firmly.
He is the village policeman of Kokoyasi, so naturally he would not betray anyone in the village.
"Jiu, then go die!"
The fishman cadre slowly took off the safety of the flintlock in his hand and aimed the black muzzle at Kensaku's head.
The atmosphere in the field fell into silence!
Although the villagers present were angry, they were helpless because they were all ordinary people and could not help Jiansaku at all.
Just this one fishman cadre can easily deal with a dozen ordinary villagers, not to mention that Jiu also brought a dozen of his fishman subordinates with him.
Compared to the fishman.
The villagers are the lambs to be slaughtered.
At the critical moment, a 17-year-old girl with blue hair put her hands across and blocked Kensaku.
"It's me who reported it. If you want to kill me, just kill me!"
"Nojigo, get out of the way!"
Kensaku saw the daughter of this acquaintance standing in front of him and called out anxiously.
Nojiko turned his head and smiled: "Mr. Kensaku, you have always protected me before, now it's my turn to protect you!"
Kensaku wanted to get up.
However, the injuries he suffered from Jiu before made it impossible for him to stand up.
The fishman cadre Jiu looked at Nojigo standing out with a frown on his face.
Because this woman's sister Nami has already joined their Arlong Pirates as a cadre.
Chief Along values Nami's navigation skills very much, so he obviously can't kill Nokigo easily, otherwise Nami will definitely be upset...
"Jiu, you humans are such a nuisance!"
The fishman cadre was very annoyed and pointed his flintlock rifle directly at a villager not far away. He pulled the trigger and a gunshot rang out.
Kensaku and Nochiko were shocked.
He looked over there in horror.
A villager was hit in the thigh, blood oozing out, and he kept wailing.
The fishman cadre Jiu had already pointed his gun at the injured villager's head and said in a cold voice.
"Jiu, I don't care who among you will bear the responsibility, but since you dare to resist our Arlong Pirates, someone must die. Unfortunately, I choose you."
"don't want!"
The injured villager's wife begged for mercy, but it was of no use. The villager's child wanted to step forward to stop them, but was kicked away by other fishmen.
"Well, go to hell!"
The fishman cadre slowly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out in the village of Kekoyasi.
At the same time, a young voice reached everyone's ears.
"Enough is enough, fish-man pirate!"
The fishman cadre let out a wail, his wrist was hit, blood stained his arm, and his flintlock fell weakly to the ground.
The onlookers looked to the side in astonishment.
Not far away, a handsome young man in a navy coat was putting away his flintlock rifle and arriving with a team of navy soldiers.
navy
The villagers were confused, wondering why the navy, which had originally ignored the situation, suddenly rescued the villagers at this critical moment.
"Who are you?"
The fishman cadre Jiu keenly discovered the differences between the navy soldiers in front of him. These navy soldiers did not seem to be from the 16th branch.
Coles led the naval soldiers to the open space in the center of the village. As he glanced around, he could see confusion and fear in the eyes of the villagers.
When was the navy considered a symbol of bad guys in the public's perception
Finally, Coles's gaze fell on the fishman cadre who was injured by him.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed.
Silent kill!
The fish-man cadre Ju and a dozen other fish-man pirates suffered fatal knife wounds and died instantly.
"We are the Justice Navy of Rogue Town, and we are here to defeat the Arlong Pirates."
The most powerful explanation is the fact!
As for the development of the original story, Coles was actually not very willing to change anything.
The Cocoa Village here doesn't need him to take any action. After a few years, Luffy goes out to sea and defeats the Arlong Pirates, and rescues the people who are being exploited by pirates.
But when you see the fishman cadres shooting the villagers at will, not caring about these lives at all.
Coles was angry. Although he was not as selfless as Major Kahn, he was not a cold-blooded person who would watch the people being killed by pirates and remain indifferent.
In this world, Luffy can wait for him to go out to sea, and Nami can wait for the Straw Hats to save her.
But as a Marine.
Coles couldn't wait, and neither could the dying villager!
Because justice needs to be served in time!
