"Three thousand?"
Vivian was stunned.
You want me to save three thousand people
Are you making trouble with me
But then he suddenly remembered that the garrison on the Judicial Island, including government officials, seemed to be nearly 10,000 people, right
If we can save more than 30% of the people, the mission will be completed. It doesn't seem too difficult...
What the hell!
"I'm just one person. How am I supposed to save three thousand people in this hail of bullets?"
At the moment he was complaining, in front of him, ten warships with a total of two hundred guns were still indiscriminately spraying bombs at the land of Judicial Island.
at the same time.
"What did you just say? What about saving people?"
Tina suddenly appeared behind Vivian and asked.
Vivian: “…”
What the hell does it have to do with you
Stay away from me, woman!
"I didn't say anything, did you hear me wrong?" Vivian stepped back.
"Tina, you heard everything just now. You want to go to Judicial Island to save people, right?" Tina came forward and asked with a puzzled look: "Do you know the pirates on the island? Why do you want to save them?"
"I don't know him."
Vivian shook her head speechlessly and said, "Do you think there is no one else on Judicial Island except the Straw Hat Pirates?"
Tina: (⊙o⊙)
"You mean the garrison on Judicial Island?"
"nonsense."
Vivian rolled her eyes in response, "Except for the guilty jury, the rest of the defenders, aren't they human beings?"
"They all have their own parents and relatives. Why, and on what basis, should they be buried with those pirates who deserved to die?"
After saying this, Tina fell into silence instantly.
Yeah..why
But doesn't the Demon-Slaying Order always require them to execute it unconditionally
"Perhaps...the government has their own unspeakable secrets?"
"A secret that cannot be told?"
Hearing this, Vivian couldn't hold back her emotions. "What kind of unspeakable secret could someone have that would disregard the lives of thousands of people?"
"Don't they deserve to live?"
"Ask yourself, what if among these garrisoned marines there are your relatives, friends, or teachers you respect?"
It’s not that I’m acting, but I’m really dissatisfied with the current situation.
The scene was briefly mentioned in the original work, and it might have only happened in the anime before, but now it has traveled to this world!
Everything has become a reality!
He saw many soldiers kneeling on the edge of the island, holding flintlock rifles in one hand and waving them wildly at the warships they were on with the other. Their terrified expressions turned into despair when they saw the falling shells, and then they were completely swallowed up in the explosion.
"So, you want to stop me from saving people?"
Vivian took out a cigar and put it between his lips, asking without turning his head.
"Of course...no." Tina shook her head.
At the same time, there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he looked at Vivian's back.
This man who was transferred from Donghai is really an interesting guy.
...
“Help!!”
"We're still on the island!"
Forced to flee in all directions by the fierce artillery fire, they watched their former colleagues being blown to pieces one after another, with their limbs and flesh scattered all over the ground. The surviving soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, looking at the warship that was constantly spewing fire with tears in their eyes, their faces filled with despair.
"Why, why on earth?"
"Why do you want to kill us too?"
"I..we are also navy!"
After working diligently in the Navy for so many years, I was assigned to the Judicial Island as a garrison. I thought I could spend my life in peace here until retirement, but now...
The nightmare suddenly came.
Many people never figured out until their death why the organization they were loyal to would suddenly turn its guns against them one day.
"Newman, Newman! Wake up, wake up! Wuuuuuuu..."
In the ruins covered by smoke, a soldier covered in blood struggled to drag his brother out from under the rocks. Looking at the other's broken left leg and sunken chest, tears fell from his eyes uncontrollably.
"Newman... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have encouraged you to follow me to Judicial Island to work..."
"It was me who killed you..wuwuwuwu..."
The crying became louder and louder.
Memories of the past kept flashing through his mind. In his ears, the "huh, huh" sound of flying bombs came again. The soldier raised his head and looked up at the sky with lifeless eyes.
However, just when he closed his eyes and decided to welcome death...
Swish!
A flash of golden lightning suddenly passed over his head, and in an instant it cut the falling shells into pieces.
Hearing the explosion, the soldier, who didn't feel any pain at all, opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw a black-haired young man wearing a navy uniform, smoking a cigar, standing in front of him. He asked him, "Hey, can you still walk?"
"Hmm..." The soldier nodded blankly.
"It's good that you can walk. Follow me and I will ensure that you will not die." The young man said this, then waved the red sword in his hand and walked deeper into the ruins.
...
I don’t know how much time passed.
The artillery fire still showed no signs of stopping.
However, at the same time, Vivian, who was shuttling between the ruins of the town, had gathered no less than 500 people, and continued to move forward under the rain of bullets.
"Thunder Breathing·First Form·Thunderbolt Flash!"
Lightning flashed forward and a large number of shells exploded in the air.
Vivian held a cigar in his mouth, put the blood demon in his hand back into the scabbard, turned around and asked: "Where are the rest of the people? Does anyone know?"
"That...over there. That's a residential area. There should be a lot of people in there!" Someone pointed to the southeast.
"Really? Then let's go there." Vivian nodded, and at the same time, her consciousness was immersed in the system list in her mind.
Mission completion progress: 598/3000
“Hiss~~~Huh!”
There were nearly 10,000 garrison troops, but he only ran into more than 500 of them
Glancing at the broken limbs scattered all over the ground, Vivian couldn't help but sigh.
I'm afraid that most people are already in danger.
Thinking of this, Vivian continued to move forward, and the soldiers following behind him all changed their previous desperate expressions, and the desire for life appeared in their eyes again.
"We...will definitely be able to get out alive, right?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"I believe that as long as that man is there, it will happen."
Someone nodded, and answered with certainty, as if to comfort himself.
