Chapter 2: I Finally Have to Show Some Strength
He, Hiberfield Charlotte, travels the world with two words: absolute discretion. But today, he has no choice but to act. Charlotte sighed lightly. This place is his base of operations for life. How could he allow anyone to destroy it? Moreover, the inhabitants here are kind and friendly; it is his homeland. Given this, the only good pirates are dead pirates. Charlotte's eyes filled with coldness. In an instant, he moved like a light breeze. "Pff!" Charlotte's figure reappeared, and behind him, dozens of pirates fell dead to the ground.
"Hmm?" Spike frowned instantly, while the other pirates grew enraged. "Kill!" The pirates launched an attack, charging in a disorganized and mindless manner. Their uncontrolled shots missed the mark, demonstrating their lamentable aiming skills. Bang! Bang! Bang! Most of the bullets fell around Charlotte, causing him no harm. Spike's expression grew serious, with a growing sense of unease. Charlotte kept his face expressionless. His sword flashed with a deadly gleam, and each movement ended a life.
In no time, the ground around him was covered with pirate corpses, a blood-chilling scene. The pirates began to feel fear, not daring to move. Once he decided to act, he would leave no survivors. Enemies must be prepared to die. Common pirates couldn't inflict any real harm on Charlotte. The resistance of the weak against the strong was futile and pathetic. No matter how many weak opponents there were, they couldn't withstand a single blow from a true warrior. With agile steps, Charlotte approached and reaped lives mercilessly.
"Damn it!" Spike, full of fear, watched his men fall with an expression of rage. The members of the Hiberfield clan at the port, seeing Charlotte's performance, were all shocked. Seeing Charlotte massacre pirates so easily aroused boundless admiration, and they began to cheer enthusiastically. "Awesome, boss!" "Awesome, boss!" The normally kind and sunny leader was astonishingly impressive in combat. Charlotte paused for a moment, an astonishing aura about to explode. The sword in his hand vibrated involuntarily. Moving his sword, a powerful energy emanated, and with a whisper, he murmured, "One Sword Style, Divine Wind, Tiger Cut!"
Mastering the iron cut allowed one to feel the breath of all things. Integrating sword technique made it easy to break stones and cut metal. Only those who mastered the iron cut had the chance to advance as a master swordsman. Being a master swordsman on the vast ocean meant being a formidable warrior. This was what Charlotte had understood and accumulated over the years. On this island, he had obtained the wisdom of a master swordsman, which made his sword skills advance rapidly. Today, he would finally have to reveal his power as a master swordsman.
In an instant, numerous pirates were torn like rags, in a scene of intense blood and terror. "A... master swordsman!" The captain of the violent pirate group, Spike, felt true terror. Charlotte looked at him coldly. "Enemies must be prepared to die." Revealing his strength meant these pirates had no chance to escape. The light of his sword shone, each stroke as smooth as the wind, the result of countless days and nights of practice. The whisper of the divine wind, the flash of the sword, fast as lightning, one stroke, ten strokes, a hundred strokes, a thousand strokes...
In that stroke, Charlotte seemed to return to the days of tireless practice. "Pff!" In Spike's eyes, the light of the sword grew larger, and in the next moment, an ugly wound appeared on his chest. Spike let out a heart-wrenching scream, dropping his enormous sword and falling heavily to the ground, bleeding profusely. The battle ended quickly, in a scene of chaos and blood. Ivan, excited, ran towards Charlotte with a servile attitude, unable to believe his leader's strength. "Boss, you're incredible. We should let more people know about your greatness."
Hearing this, Charlotte felt a headache. If he became famous in the New World, it would be a disaster. This guy has picked up bad habits, Charlotte thought, and quickly changed the subject. "Ahem, Ivan, I'm not interested in fame. Organize the people, clean up the battlefield, and burn the pirates' bodies to prevent them from bringing diseases to the village." With a serious attitude, Ivan nodded enthusiastically, "Understood, boss." Quickly, Ivan called the other members to clean up the battlefield. "Brother Ivan, these cruel and arrogant pirates finally got what they deserved!" Many nodded their heads; many of them had lost their families because of ruthless pirates.
One of the men started laughing, "Yes, Brother Ivan, our boss is incredible!" Ivan, witnessing his boss's battle, felt extremely fortunate and excited. "Brothers, our boss has protected the peace of the village, has defended our home. How great! This is the honor of the Hiberfield family!" "Charlotte, the hero of the people, the pride of the Hiberfield family!" The men shouted excitedly, full of enthusiasm. The port was filled with cheers. ... Charlotte, on the pirate ship, paid no attention to the shouts from the port. He found 30 million berries in the captain's cabin. It wasn't much, but it was fine.
Meanwhile, Ivan had already gathered the pirates' weapons and placed them in a pile. The pirates' bodies were neatly stacked. It was an impressive scene. Ivan had always been reliable. "Boss." Charlotte, with a satisfied look, patted Ivan's shoulder, "Well done, Ivan, keep going!" "Yes!" Ivan shouted excitedly. Charlotte, with his ears buzzing, looked at him resignedly. Why was he shouting so loudly while being so close? The pirates' bodies were consumed by the flames. Spike's body was also burned. Although he had a high bounty, the marine headquarters was too far away, and going to sea was too dangerous. So, everything was burned.
Until the pirates' bodies turned to ashes, scattered into the sea. Charlotte was satisfied. "I can't help it, I'm still so kind-hearted." Look at this service, how attentive! After entrusting Ivan to clean the pirate ship, Charlotte returned alone to the Hiberfield family base. (End of the chapter)
