บท 194: Are all the pirates in Paradise so naive?
Zeraora also felt that what he said made sense, so he carried Yamato in one hand and Maria in the other and planned to leave, but he immediately said:
"Setsuna, you stay here and help him. Jack, don't mess around, it's time to go back."
It's not that he was discriminating against him. Maria's height hasn't grown yet, so he can still carry her, but Jack is different.
He's too strong, and with Yamato and Maria in his arms, his body can't carry a third person, so he can only use his magnetic field to capture him and take him out.
"Uncle Zeraora, let go of me! I want to have a good talk with that guy!"
"No need, Yamato. Lord Arceus has said not to argue with fools. They will bring you down to their level and defeat you with their rich experience. Mandrell will handle those matters, so let's get ready to go to Sky Island, okay?"
"Channnsey~" Chansey, who was following them, also chatted with Yamato, eventually making her temporarily forget about this matter.
As Zeraora took them away, the atmosphere in the pub became more serious.
"Small fry? Who are you calling small fry? I'm a powerful pirate with a bounty of 30 million!"
"Enough, telling the same joke twice is not fun anymore. But before we start, I want to ask, does anyone want to leave? Those who stay here will be treated as enemies."
As he spoke, he threw Harlow out, and the tables and chairs in the pub were knocked over.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, unrelated people began to leave, but most of the pirates stayed. A bounty of 30 million was considered a leader in the present Mock Town.
These remaining pirates could be said to be his subordinates. After Harlow was thrown out, the fight was basically unavoidable.
"Sorry, boss. You can use his 30 million head to exchange for money to repair the pub."
Although the pirates stayed here, it didn't mean you could go nowhere else. Passing merchant ships serve as a means to reach other islands, and their supplies are obtained through trade with those people.
As for why they didn't rob those merchant ships leaving this place, the people who could do business in the Grand Line were not ordinary people. These Paradise's pirates don't possess the skills required for such endeavors.
"Boys, you all saw it, this guy was planning to do something dangerous to Miss Yamato." Yamato didn't have the nickname "Ogre Princess" yet, and most people called her Miss Yamato.
"Bang!"
Mandrell's words were not finished, but a gunshot signaled the start of the battle.
"Fire! Let this arrogant guy know how powerful we are!"
Under his shout, a series of gunshots rang out, and bullets were shot from various directions towards Mandrell, intensifying with each passing moment.
The strong smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the white smoke generated from the burning of the black powder in the old flintlock guns even hindered the vision of many people.
"You b*stard, I don't believe that you can survive so many bullets!"
The same burst of laughter followed, but this time it came from the members of the Beasts Pirates.
"Are all the pirates in Paradise so naive?"
"I don't know. I was born in the New World. Rodra, I remember you came from Paradise, right? Were you also like this before?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not as stupid as this guy."
The pirate who was asked this question vehemently denied, not wanting to have any connection with the person in front of him.
"Idiots! Your boss is already dead! How can you still laugh?"
But this was still taken as a joke by them. They all knew very well that these few guns couldn't hurt Mandrell at all. After all, his scales had already been tempered to be extremely strong.
In the next moment, Mandrell's voice also came back.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but these can never kill me. I've even planned where I'll live after retirement, you know."
A bullet fell from Mandrell's hand; numerous bullets were already scattered on the ground. A patch of red scales grew on his exposed skin, and it was precisely these fish scales that blocked the bullets.
Then Mandrell, in his Human-Beast form, gave the order to attack.
"All right, boys, let these cowards from Paradise understand what it means to be a pirate in the New World!"
He gave them a chance, but they didn't seize it. Since he has said the phrase "Attack", their feud had already been established.
As for addressing them as cowards, they even look down on the rookies who had just entered the New World, let alone these pirates hiding in Paradise.
"Stop being so arrogant! You're just an Ability user! I, on the other hand, am Harlow the Wolf!"
With a loud roar, Harlow's body also began to undergo a transformation. His previously sturdy legs gradually morphed into hind legs resembling those of a canid.
Compared to the Four Seas, Paradise was at least familiar with the existence of Devil Fruits. Seeing Mandrell's transformation didn't surprise him much, and he also transformed into a wolf-like form.
However, Mandrell couldn't recognize this specific wolf species.
"A Zoan-type, huh? It's a pity you wasted this Devil Fruit." If he brought the fruit back, the Beasts Pirates would gain another "Mythical Zoan" devil fruit user.
In Mandrell's opinion, him consuming the fruit was a waste of a precious resource.
"Moreover, I already told you, this 30 million bounty joke, it's meaningless to repeat it for the third time!"
Mandrell stomped heavily on the ground in the pub, exerting tremendous force that dislodged the nails embedded in the floor. One end of a wooden plank sprung up high, while Mandrell's legs, clad in scales and imbued with Haki, swiftly lashed out like a whip, striking Harlow directly across the neck.
The immense impact sent him flying, breaking through the pub's wall and several more walls until Harlow was buried in the rubble.
Mandrell then deactivated his ability and began adjusting his clothes. The pirates of Paradise were too weak in his eyes. After all, he was a member of the Beasts Pirates, and the scouting unit also has combatants.
Using his Ability and Haki simultaneously, he hadn't held back at all. For such an enemy, one strike was enough.
The battle ended quickly. The people staying in Mock Town had almost forgotten how to fight, and they even ran out of bullets.
Meanwhile, their enemies were the elite members of the Beasts Pirates, some of whom had even learned Haki. In close combat, neither blades nor armor could withstand the power of weapons enhanced by Haki.
"These people are so weak."
As Setsuna looked at the pirates who were easily dispatched with a single blow, a perplexed expression appeared on her face. Being born on Zou Island, she couldn't comprehend why there were people so weak. The members of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group she encountered before were far more powerful than them.
"They are just trash from Paradise. It's normal. Check each other, fix your clothes, and get rid of any bloodstained ones. Don't blame me later if Miss Yamato feels that something is wrong! Oh, and boss, I'll gift you this guy's head. But I'll remind you, Sky Island does exist."
The bounty on the pirate's head was enough for him to establish a new pub, but the Beasts Pirates didn't have time to find someone to cash it in. Moreover, he hadn't refuted Yamato just now, so regardless of his intentions, Mandrell didn't mind letting him benefit from it.
