The pirates who were wearing gas masks and fighting with others in the smoke were almost all frightened after seeing this sudden scene.
"It...it thundered?!"
"Oh no! Lieutenant Captain Lennon was hit by lightning!"
The pirate who reacted first pointed at the scorched figure on the ground and shouted.
When they heard what he said, they looked in the direction of his finger, and after seeing Lennon's horrific appearance, they all showed expressions of horror.
at the same time.
He let out a breath, and without knowing when, Vivian, who was already squatting on a big tree, put the saber back into his waist, took out a cigarette and lit it.
“Hiss~~~Hiccup!”
"Very good, I should have performed perfectly just now."
Vivian muttered quietly and nodded with great satisfaction.
"When everything is over, when people see the traces left at the scene, they will probably only think it was a natural disaster, and no one will suspect me..."
There was no way. After all, the agility attribute on the panel was as high as over ninety points. When he burst out at full speed, which was several times faster than that of an ordinary person, no one at the scene could catch sight of him.
Therefore, he didn't have to worry about anyone associating this matter with him.
As for why you don't want people to find out...
Is there any need to ask
Of course I don't want to attract attention.
What if I get promoted too quickly and cause others to be jealous, or if my superiors notice me and I am transferred to the main department, what should I do then
Compared to the dangerous Grand Line, he still prefers the East China Sea, which is comfortable and peaceful. On days when there are no pirates to catch, he can lie comfortably on the beach outside Rogue Town and enjoy the sea breeze.
Here, he squatted on a big tree, using the dense branches and leaves to cover his body, and puffed out smoke.
On the other side, all the navy soldiers were exactly the same as the pirates of the Giant Blade Pirates, with their mouths wide open, holding their flintlock rifles, and standing there in a daze.
What's happening?!
Is this a punishment from God
"It's exactly the same thing as what happened last time!"
Papanov opened his eyes wide, looking at the grass that was cut by lightning, and a memory immediately emerged in his mind.
I remember it was more than half a year ago. I encountered danger while catching pirates. He was about to be beheaded by the enemy. But at the critical moment, a flash of lightning flashed just like it is now. All the pirates who surrounded him were electrocuted and fell to the ground covered in blood.
"The same miracle happened to me twice..."
This can't be just a coincidence!
"Could it be that..."
Is this really God blessing me
As if he had grasped the key to the problem, the expression on Papanov's face suddenly became somewhat excited.
At the side, he knocked down a pirate with a single blow of his sword. Then, Couto raised his head and looked towards the woods. His sharp eyes caught the flickering red dot between the branches and leaves.
...
"kill!!!"
After a brief shock, the battle started again.
But it seemed that because their vice-captain was "roasted", the morale of the pirates was greatly affected. The pirates completely lost the ability to fight back, and for a while, the navy was defeated.
It seemed that all the more than one hundred pirates present were about to be captured, but at this moment, an extremely tall figure emerged from behind, holding a two-meter-long giant blade, and instantly broke up the navy's camp.
"Ashburne?!"
"captain!"
The navy and the pirates cried out in surprise at the same time.
Just look at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. He was over three meters tall, with a naked upper body full of muscles, and veins bulged with every swing of the sword.
Less than ten seconds passed, and a large number of navy soldiers were blown into the sky, and then fell heavily. Seeing this, the remaining people put their flintlocks back on their backs, drew their sabers from their waists, rushed forward, and fought with Ashburn at close range.
"Don't be afraid, come at us together. He is alone and he definitely can't beat us!"
Papanov, who had just been blown away by the strong wind caused by the giant blade, now climbed up from the ground in a very embarrassed manner and shouted loudly to his soldiers.
This is a big pirate whose bounty exceeds 10 million Baileys!
As long as I can capture him, I will probably be promoted to lieutenant colonel when I return this time!
But he had just finished speaking.
“Wild Wind Slash!”
Asherborn let out a loud roar and swung his sword horizontally. The navy soldiers who had just surrounded him with swords in hand spat out blood, and were blown away to all directions like petals by the airflow created by the giant blade.
At the same time, not far away.
Vivian flicked the cigarette butt away, couldn't help but sigh as he watched the scene, and then jumped back to the ground from the treetop.
Glancing at the panel options in my mind.
Subsequent mission: Defeat the vice-captain of the Giant Blade Pirates (completed)
Obtain follow-up mission: Defeat or assist colleagues in defeating the leader of the Giant Blade Pirates (currently the second ring)
That’s right, another follow-up task was obtained.
As for the routines of system options, Vivian has experienced them over the past two years and can say that he knows them very well.
This is no different from the "running rings" task in role-playing games in previous lives.
Do you think you have successfully completed all the tasks? Oh, sorry, I still have more follow-up tasks waiting for you.
As for how many rounds of subsequent tasks there are, it all depends on the mood of the system.
There may be as many as ten, or as few as two.
This is also one of the reasons why, even though Vivian has become stronger, he is still reluctant to choose the first few options after seeing the options pop up.
He pulled off the flintlock rifle on his back and held it in front of his right eye. Vivian, who had already mastered the shooting skills to the intermediate level, calibrated the trajectory slightly and then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The lead bullet flew out from the muzzle of the gun, and hit Ashburn's back accurately with an incredible arc at a distance of one hundred meters, leaving a deep bloody mark.
In pain, Ashburn let out a roar.
However, when he turned around to look for the culprit who shot the bullet, he didn't even see a single person. Instead, he was cut in the abdomen by a sword from Cotto who was approaching him.
“Damn it!”
With bloodshot eyes, Ashburn turned around and swung the knife again. His intense anger made him want to smash Cotto's head to pieces on the spot.
However, the giant blade had not yet fallen.
Bang—bang!
Two more gunshots rang out in succession. One bullet hit the knife in his hand, causing him to stagger. The other bullet penetrated into his calf, causing a splash of blood.
"ah!!"
Subconsciously letting out a scream, Ashbern looked down at the bloody hole on his calf in shock.
How is that possible
I am... a man with a body of steel!
How could ordinary flintlock bullets break through his defense, especially at such a long distance
The expression on his face was full of disbelief.
At the same time, from deep in the dense jungle, another bullet shot out from the gap between branches and leaves and hit him directly in the face.
...
