Bab 8: Tangerines
Letting the corpse fall to the ground Hiko took a deep breath reining in my bloodlust, as my it had leaked out when the bitch tried to attack me. From there it was only a matter of time before the marines arrived, all the soldier's mouths dropped at what they saw. Thirty pirates were all tied up on their ship in different stats of injury, standing over them was an unknown person. In a few minutes, he was surrounded by marine aiming their guns at him, " Who are you and what is your relationship with these pirates. "
Raising his hands Hiko frowned, " I just heard the fight and thought I'd check it out, now I suggest you put your guns down. I'm already annoyed about the bitch trying to stab me my patience is wearing thin. " The Marines laughed, " Even if you were able to take down a whole pirate ship by yourself you're completely surrounded I doubt you can survive bullet fire from this close. "
Sighing Hiko activated his devil powers, the air around each of the marines gained a cloudy tint one by one the soldiers fell to their knees their faces turning different shades of purple and blue. Hiko watched as the marines fainted. Releasing his powers Hiko turned to the one marine who was still conscious, " Your lucky I don't want to be the marines blacklist when you report to your superiors tell them that you encountered Hiko, the strongest. "
" W-what are you- " hitting the back of the man's neck Hiko knocked him unconscious standing up Hiko jumped into the water, ' all according to plan except for my system acting up. ' Hiko opened his system and disabled notifications during combat when he took out the first pirate a notification had completely obscured his view.

Closing his system Hiko smiled at his increase in strength, imagine if he defeated stronger opponents his skill would soon reach the max level. A few minutes later Hiko saw his ship were he left it but there was a smaller ship anchored next to his, jumping onto the deck of his ship Hiko looked around for his intruder. After a few seconds, Hiko heard the sound of coins clicking together from below his feet, Hiko's body blurred as he phased through the floor to see who dared to steal from him.
Dropping to the floor Hiko didn't make a sound as his eyes widened when he saw who had decided to steal from him. The thief stopped their actions and went to look behind them when their world was flipped upside down, Hiko had restrained the thief with his tail. Hiko looked the thief in her brown eyes as her orange hair fell around her face, he watched Nami struggle and try and break loose.
" Any attempt of resistance is futile, and I don't want to hurt a pretty girl " Nami growled and was about to scream at me when she looked at Hiko's face and her outburst died in her throat as she blushed. When she stopped struggling Hiko nodded flipped her right side around and set Nami on her feet, " Now then let's talk about why you're on my ship trying to steal my treasure. " Nami frowned " Why should I tell you even though your pretty handsome " smirking I raised an eyebrow, " Maybe the fact you tried to steal my rightfully earned treasure "
Turning up her nose Nami grunted, " Like hell, you earned this honestly your like every other pirate, killing and living off of others. " Sighing I brushed back my hair, " I'm not a pirate I found a huge treasure only accessible by me no less than 500 million berries. " Hiko watched as Nami's eyes gleamed and she loosened a few buttons on her shirt giving me a better view of her ample cleavage, " Really 500 million berries I wonder what that even looks like. "
Sighing Hiko stared into Nami's eyes, " Do you really believe he'll let your village go if you pay him " Nami flinched when Hiko brought light to one of her fears, " What are you talking about Arlong and I have an agreement if I can bring him 1,000,000 berries I could buy my island back. And how would you know anyways are you with him. " Rolling his eyes Hiko let out a silent sigh at how much Nami was hanging onto tatters, " Of course, pirates are known for being trustworthy, they don't kill and living off of others. "
Nami shook hearing her words being thrown back at her, for the past few years she had tried in vain to collect an enormous amount of money. Her hope had now come crashing down around her Nami collapsed to the ground as she started to cry, after a minute of crying Nami felt someone pull her to her feet. Before she could yell at the person who broke her childish fantasy she felt calming energy enter her body through her head, " Looking up Nami saw that the person she tried to steal from was petting her head, " Come on there's no time to cry we need to get going. "
Clearing her eyes Nami frowned, " W-what do you mean. "
" Well I was going to take Arlong on my own but I think you should do the honors, what from where we are it will take about a month or two. That should be more than enough time to start your training. "
