"Haha, as you wish."
The pirate captain looked at Weiwei, grinned, and said: "With the princess in hand, the other hostages are useless, let them all go away!"
"By the way, many people are pointing guns at me and my people, right? Toys like guns are too dangerous and not suitable for them. Let them put them down..."
The pirate captain glanced at the whole audience mockingly and said: "Even if you aim at everyone's heads at the same time, if only one sword scratches your head, you, the princess, will be buried with you."
All the guards said this with ugly expressions.
Bell also clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Put down the guns!"
Weiwei exchanged the hostages, using one person for a dozen people. Although it seemed to be beneficial to the situation, after all, it was more troublesome to save a dozen people at the same time than to save one person.
But the problem is, Weiwei’s identity is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Alabasta!
In such a vicious incident, not to mention death, even any injuries are still a major crime for them, the Kingdom Guards!
"Haha, this is much better."
Seeing the escort putting down the firecrackers, the pirate captain chuckled and said: "Please make way again, this place is not very safe. I don't want your princess to be injured because of the conflict, so... let's go to the port. Let’s talk about the hostage issue slowly.”
"I kidnapped His Highness Weiwei, do you still want to leave here?!"
"Hurry up and let the princess go!"
Some of the many guards couldn't help shouting.
However, the pirate captain sneered and just made two gestures with the knife in front of Weiwei's cheek, causing all the guards to silence and clenched their fists nervously.
"Now we can only listen to them first..."
Bell spoke in a deep voice, staring at the opponent, intending to see if there was any chance to suddenly rescue Weiwei. Once Weiwei was rescued, the next step was to fight.
But what made Bell look ugly was that the opponent placed Weiwei completely in the center, and more than three swords were pointed at Weiwei, leaving no loopholes or opportunities at all.
This is a group of pirates who specialize in kidnapping hostages!
The methods are extremely skillful and the vigilance is extremely high. It is obviously not the kind of impromptu attack.
soon.
Many pirates, together with Weiwei and the Kingdom Guards, came to the seaside, and their pirate ship was docked not far away. Under duress, the guards could only watch helplessly as the pirates took Weiwei to the pirate ship.
"This will make it much easier and I can talk to you happily."
The pirate captain grinned, relaxed, looked at the many guards on the shore, and said: "For a princess of the kingdom, 500 million beli is not too much, right? I'll give you half a day to come up with 500 million beli." , you can exchange it for your princess."
"500 million?"
After hearing what the other party said, Bell said angrily: "The total number of previous hostages is only 150 million! It's impossible to get such a large amount of money!"
Hearing this, the pirate captain sneered and said: "Of course the value of the assholes is different from the value of the princess. This is your princess's voluntary exchange of hostages. A country as big as Alabasta can't afford a mere 500 million beli?”
"Don't talk nonsense to me! Even if there is nothing in the treasury, we can go from house to house to collect hundreds or thousands of households, and we will be able to get it! I will give you half a day, and if the time limit is over, I will wait for you. Princess, collect the body!"
After hearing the pirate captain's words, Bell gritted his teeth.
asshole!
Although the other party is extremely shameless, they really only have this way now. Unless the citizens come together, the empty treasury will not be able to come up with so much money.
But to really come up with 500 million, I'm afraid many families will have to spend years of savings, and once this group of pirates are allowed to escape, the impact will be too bad and unbearable!
what to do? !
It would obviously be best if Weiwei could be rescued, but even if the other party relaxed a lot on the boat, there were still two swords pointed at Weiwei, making it still difficult to save people.
"500 million? How is that possible!!"
Weiwei was tied to the mast with a rope, and she was glaring at the pirate captain at this moment: "You asked for 150 million for the hostages before, so after exchanging with me, it should be 150 million! 500 million... It is impossible to accept this kind of price increase!"
"Oh? So, the young princess wants to die."
The pirate captain turned his head, smiled sinisterly, and said: "It seems that you are only fourteen or fifteen years old. There are so many things that you have not experienced at this age. You can really let go and be determined to go." Die?"
After hearing the pirate captain's words, Weiwei opened her eyes wide and tried hard to glare at him, but the trembling in her heart still made some tears appear in the corners of her eyes.
It's not just fear, but also regret and self-blame. If she hadn't been willing to exchange hostages, the ransom demanded by the other party would have been only 150 million beli. Now it becomes even more troublesome!
If she doesn't accept it, she will face death.
die…
Can you really muster the courage to accept death? !
After all, Weiwei was only fourteen years old. Even though she was not afraid of the pirates and dared to stand up, she still couldn't suppress the trembling in her heart when she thought of the death she was about to face.
And just as tears rolled down from the corners of Weiwei's eyes, a sighing voice came.
"You came a little bit late, and you made the princess cry."
"who?!"
The grinning pirate captain couldn't help but change his face when he heard the sudden sound, shouted sharply, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Weiwei was also stunned for a moment and turned her head to look.
I saw.
On the railing on the side of the pirate ship, a man appeared at some point. He was wearing an aristocratic dress and a white wizard cloak. He was holding a slender red wooden stick in his hand and turning it on his fingertips. While walking around, he walked towards the deck.
"...stop!"
Although he didn't know how Ron appeared on the ship, the pirate captain reacted quickly, pointed at Vivi with a broad-bladed knife in his hand, and spoke sternly at Ron.
However, Ron didn't care. With a flick of his finger, six golden beams suddenly appeared, imprisoning the pirate captain in place, unable to move a step.
"This guy… "
"It's a person with abilities!"
Seeing this scene, the expressions of many pirates suddenly changed drastically.
Someone saw Ron continuing to walk in the direction of Weiwei, and a fierce look flashed across his face, and the sword in his hand suddenly stabbed Weiwei's chest.
Puncturing this position would only result in serious injuries, but would not kill him quickly. Ron, the ability user who suddenly appeared, immediately imprisoned their captain, which already made them feel threatened.
Ron must be worried!
"Woo..."
Seeing the sharp sword thrust towards her chest, Weiwei's eyes widened, a flash of panic flashed deep in her eyes, and she wanted to escape, but she was tied there and unable to move.
Just when the sword was about to pierce her, the sword tip suddenly stopped in the air, and the pirate holding the sword also froze in place.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ron put the index and middle fingers of his left hand together and casually waved to the left, and the pirate holding the sword flew directly out. With a wave to the right, the three pirates on the right all flew sideways and hit the side of the ship.
Then he flicked his fingers, and the rope in front of Weiwei broke from the middle.
