Chapter 24: Looking for an Excuse
Because of the Heavenly Tribute, Mio had to speed up and move towards the destination.
Fortunately, he would still pass Varu Island on the way, so he could go up and see it.
After one day.
Evening.
Mio's ship approached the port of Varu Island.
At a glance, he could see a pirate ship in front of him. Every pirate ship had many pirates on it.
After all, if there was no one to guard the ship in such a place, the ship would definitely be gone by the time they come back.
"Warwick, just stay on the boat, and kill anyone who comes up." Mio ordered Warwick.
After getting Warwick's response, he took Erica and left. He set foot on Varu Island, and walked towards the town not far in front.
Along the way, many pirates could be seen.
Some were fierce, some were gentle.
Some pirates turned their eyes towards Mio and Erica, but then looled somewhere else again.
They felt that Mio and Erica were not easy to provoke.
The two of them just walked into the town and saw two groups of pirates fighting on the road ahead.
From time to time, blood spattered and spilled on the ground.
There were many other pirates onlookers around, and some pirates even shouted loudly, "Go on, don't be afraid, I have bet half a million on your win, don't be afraid!!"
Obviously, these pirates had long been accustomed to seeing battles, and were even using other people's battles to make money.
"It's really lively." Mio sighed and moved on.
He looked around for a tavern. He wanted to buy some alcohol before leaving.
Erica also looked around curiously. The tentacles under her cloak swayed lightly.
Her brows wrinkled lightly, and she softly said, "Erica doesn't like this place."
"Huh? Why?" Mio heard the words and looked at Erica curiously.
"A lot of people are having bad ideas about master." Erica said seriously.
She looked in one direction after another, watching the people who had put their eyes on Mio.
"So that's it." Hearing this, Mio couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Then, he rubbed Erica's head and said lightly, "Don't worry, if those people really dare to make a move, they will only suffer."
"Yeah." Erica nodded.
The two quickly found a tavern and walked in.
Dozens of pirates gathered in the tavern, and the tavern was extremely lively.
After Mio and Erica walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
One of the burly pirates stood up, frowned slightly, and shouted directly, "Hey, this is our territory, get out of here quickly."
"I'll buy some rum and go." Mio said lightly.
The burly man was taken aback for a moment, and then he became angry.
He didn't seem to expect Mio to be so unaware. He was ready to pull out the weapon behind his back, and teach Mio a lesson.
But in the corner of the tavern, a slender man who was holding two hot girls in his arms slowly spoke, "Hey, let them buy the rum, and you guys, leave as soon as you finish."
This person was the boss of these guys. He had come to this island just to relax, and not to cause trouble.
Of course, the main reason was that he felt that the two guys who came in were a bit dangerous.
Hearing what his boss said, the burly man suddenly let out a cold snort of disdain.
"Since the boss has spoken, I'll let you go. Get out when you finish buying."
After speaking, the burly man sat down, picked up the rum in front of him, and drank again.
Mio shrugged. He brought Erica to the bar, and said directly, "Bring me two barrels of rum."
Behind the counter was an old man. He nodded after hearing what Mio said.
He immediately asked the young man next to him to bring the rum, and he reminded Mio in a low voice, "Young man, these people belong to the monitor lizard pirate group. After buying the rum, leave as soon as possible, otherwise there will be accidents."
It seemed that this old man had a good heart. However, Mio was suddenly stunned.
"Monitor Lizard Pirate Group?" Mio asked after hesitating for a while.
The old man was also stunned, but he nodded, "Yes, they are the monitor lizard pirate group that has a bounty more than 30 million. I heard that they are planning to go to the Grand Line recently."
"Well, thanks a lot." Hearing this, Mio nodded and didn't speak any more, but his eyes suddenly flickered.
The Monitor Lizard pirate group, he had seen them on the bounty order before.
The captain was a guy with a Devil fruit ability. He had not eaten an ordinary Zoan devil fruit, but an ancient species among Zoan.
In North Blue, by virtue of this devil fruit ability, Anderson is regarded as a small celebrity, and is followed by many people.
However, Mio didn't want to leave this tavern like this.
As for why...
He wanted to kill Anderson.
He wanted to see what genes he would get if he killed a person with Devil fruit ability.
Would it be the same as ordinary people? Or...
He originally planned to go to Grand Line to test this. After all, the people with Devil fruit ability are much more common in Grand Line.
Although they can also be found in North Blue, they are very rare. He did not expect to encounter such a person like this.
At this point, he is somewhat similar to the protagonist Luffy in the original book.
If there was no reason, he would feel a little guilty to attack for no reason.
But the difference between him and Luffy is that he knows how to proactively find reasons.
Thinking of this, Mio turned and walked towards Anderson step by step.
This slender figure, who did not seem be strong, hugged two chicks at this time and molested them.
From time to time, he asked the two hot girls to feed him, with smiles all over his face.
Several other men were sitting next to Anderson.
At this moment, one of them saw Mio walking by, and immediately got up and said unhappily, "Boy, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the sound, Anderson also frowned and looked over, looking upset.
'This kid did not leave after buying the rum. What does he want to do? He still wants to stay and drink?'
However, the next scene made Anderson stand up abruptly with an angry expression on his face.
Looking at the strong man in front of him, Mio directly pulled out the weapon on his waist and slashed.
A cold glow appeared.
A deep wound suddenly appeared on the strong man's chest. Blood spattered, and his sturdy body suddenly fell to the ground.
"Why are you talking so loudly?"
"I hate others yelling at me the most in my life." Mio said with an 'angry' expression.
As for the truth...
Only God knows.
