Chapter 23: The Krieg Pirates Are Defeated
Seeing Krieg's tragic defeat, these pirates finally lost their last hope, and their morale collapsed instantly.
The next moment, a certain pirate said "Run away", and the pirates in the entire port of Durby Island exploded into action, all of them fleeing in every possible direction.
Some team captains went crazy to rob those pirate ships, trying to escape from this terrible island of death.
Even if Kuro wanted to keep these pirates behind, he couldn't stop so many fleeing pirates by himself.
However, when he saw the captain of the second division of the Krieg Pirates, Iron Wall Pearl, a cadre equipped with Iron Wall shields.
Without saying a word, he went to kill him. With his speed, he opened several bloody wounds on him in an instant.
Pearl, who was still panicking at first, suddenly lost his mind after seeing his own blood, and his shield burst into flames, turning into Fire Pearl.
But in the end, just relying on the special characteristics of this weapon he couldn't do anything much, the cruel Kuro quickly made hundreds of wounds on his body and Pearl fell to the ground bleeding.
Eldoraggo, the Nyaban brothers, and Jango all excitedly beat up the downed enemies. When they saw that some pirates wanted to run away on the Krieg Pirates' main ship, the Dreadnaught Sabre. They immediately went to kill them angrily, trying to get back these trophies belonging to the Big Daddy Pirates.
Seeing the complete defeat of the Krieg Pirates, the Man-demon Gin couldn't believe it. Thousands of them were actually defeated by 8 people!
Is this still the overlord of East Blue?
Is this still the Krieg Pirates who wish to conquer the Grand Line?
On the other side, Krieg didn't even have a chance to use the gas bomb before he was violently knocked unconscious by Basire. After continuously being beaten like the Hulk beat Loki, the bones in his body were shattered and fractured, and he was completely hopeless.
Basire never thought about recruiting Krieg, because he wanted to use the name of this East Blue overlord to increase his own pirate group reputation and also because of Krieg's temperament.
"Captain Krieg!!"
Gin looked at the invincible Krieg, who was actually beaten to death by Basire. His eyes were full of despair, and the ambition he had pinned was gone.
"Hey! Man-demon Gin, right? You have good strength and good eyesight! You are qualified to board our ship, do you want to join us?"
Zoro is quite satisfied with this battle. Gin is also a tough fighter who can fight and last against himself head-on. He is not a speed-oriented fighter like Kuro, so he needs another person to spar because Kuro is not fun to fight against.
"You just massacred our pirate group and killed my captain, and you actually want me to join you!"
Gin said angrily, pirates also have a conscience.
"In this case, are you ready to die? The ambition I see in your eyes will end today."
Zoro didn't try to persuade him any more. He also admired such tough men, so he slowly tied up his headband, biting the sword "Wado Ichimonji" on his mouth, showing a serious and focused expression.
He will use his strongest move to send this Man-demon Gin on his way!
'Santōryū Ōgi: Sanzen Sekai!'
"What's so scary about death!!"
'Kishin Senpō: Kishin Ranbu!'
The fearless Gin also turned his iron ball tonfas and collided with the pirate hunter Zoro's spinning three-sword style at high speed.
The two of them passed each other in an instant and stood in each other's previous positions.
Zoro's beast-like eyes showed a smile, and he confidently took the sword from his mouth without looking back, and sheathed it gracefully.
Gin in the rear fell down with a pale face, staining the ground with blood. A complete loss.
On the other side, the barrier mecha on Basire had dissipated, and with his upper body naked, in front of the orange-haired female thief, he pulled out Sandai Kitetsu, suddenly stabbed it into Krieg's heart, and used this East Blue overlord as a sacrifice for his cursed sword.
The East Blue overlord Don Krieg has officially come to an end!
Basire casually threw Krieg's body out, and then looked at the orange-haired girl who was already sitting tremblingly on the ground.
"Are you stealing my trophy, Little girl?"
Basire, who was covered in blood, smiled at Nami. In Nami's eyes, it was like a devil's smile, ten times more terrifying than Arlong!
"Ship...Ship...Ship...Captain, I...I brought my treasure and prepared to join you..."
Nami felt that she was so frightened by this man's momentum and murderous intent that she couldn't stand up, and her pants were soaked through. But in order to save her life, she quickly told a lie.
"Oh~, then I will accept you. But you must remember. On my ship, betrayal means death, and my words are ironclad!
If you dare to escape, I will not only kill you, I will also slaughter your hometown!"
Basire showed a cruel smile again, frightening Nami's face to the point of becoming even paler and almost making her cry. She seemed to have offended a demonic pirate who was more terrifying than the fish-man Arlong.
"... I understand!"
Nami replied in fear, if the evil Arlong knew that she had joined another pirate group, would he take out his anger on the village?
'What should I do?'
She seemed unable to offend these two terrifying pirates, which plunged her into deep despair.
But the next moment, she heard some words that gave her a little hope.
"Captain Basire, after killing Krieg, why don't we also kill the Arlong Pirates who have the highest bounty on East Blue?"
Kuro also walked over covered in blood. He ignored the orange-haired female thief and asked Basire.
"You might want to ask our new navigator about this."
Basire looked at Nami who was lying on the ground jokingly, and showed a meaningful smile.
"She's the new navigator?"
Kuro frowned and looked at the orange-haired female thief with cold eyes. She was too weak and could not meet his standards at all.
Could it be that Basire likes this type?
"Yes, yes, I am the crew's new navigator, and my navigating skills are very good! I have been learning for ten years!"
And I think we must destroy the Arlong Pirates so that our Big Daddy Pirates can become the most powerful force in the entire East Blue!"
Nami immediately abandoned all fear at this moment and said quickly, wishing she could lead the Big Daddy Pirates to fight against the Arlong Pirates immediately.
"Nami, your hometown is Cocoyashi Village, right?"
But the next second, Basire suddenly said something which made Nami's face turn pale again.
"Captain..., I..., I'm not..."
Nami's speech began to become incoherent. Her identity was actually exposed even though she never said her name. How did Basire know?
She felt Kuro's murderous intent, and felt that she was really dead this time.
Is she really going to die?
"The Arlong Pirates are the first gift I will give you for joining the crew. But if you betray me in the future, I have already mentioned the consequences."
The atmosphere changed again. Basire picked up the girl with short orange hair and tore open her sleeve, revealing the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates.
"Captain Basire! If you can destroy the Arlong Pirates and liberate Cocoyashi Village, I will be your crew member for the rest of my life!"
Nami quickly covered the shameful tattoo on her shoulder and looked at Basire with red eyes. She didn't know why Basire knew her identity, but now she had no other choice.
"Captain Basire, you must have taken a liking to this thief, right? Are you planning to be a hero to save the beauty? How boring!"
Kuro snorted, left without looking back, and continued to kill the pirates who had seized a ship and were trying to escape. These were the spoils of the Big Daddy Pirates after all.
Even if they have to burn them, these ships will not leave today!
Hearing Kuro's words, Nami was also stunned for a moment, and slowly looked at Basire. She was sure that this was the first time she saw Basire. Could it be that he really fell in love with her?
