"Hey, Chief, you keep saying that kid will protect the village, but why can't we even see his shadow during critical times?"
"That's right. That guy probably ran away long ago."
"He's just a scrounger!"
At this point, in response to everyone's questions, Farmer was also a bit confused. He had so much faith in Leiyin.
He even wanted to marry his daughter to him, so how could that guy abandon him?
If that was the case, he should be blamed for being blind and trusting the wrong person!
Farmer said to Verdan, "Verdan, go to the back of the mountain and look for Leiyin again. If you find him, tell him what's going on here."
Verdan nodded and ran to the back of the mountain. By this time, Anderson's team had already boarded the island.
Although Anderson was not as tall as his brother, he was still 1.9 meters tall and considered a towering person for ordinary people.
Together with his muscular body and Devil Fruit ability, the villagers felt that it was a bad day.
On top of that, Anderson brought more than twice as many people as the villagers, which meant that even if Anderson didn't do anything, the villagers had no chance of winning.
The two sides stood opposite each other, and Anderson said viciously, "Farmer, you killed my brother while I was away. I can't pretend that nothing happened."
Farmer was silent.
At that moment, a villager couldn't hold back, "Anderson, it wasn't us who killed your brother, but an outsider named Leiyin!"
"Yeah, it's none of our business at all!"
Anderson looked grim, "And where is that kid you were talking about now?"
Everyone looked at each other, "That kid, he may have escaped..."
Unexpectedly, Anderson laughed, "Are you guys making fun of me?"
The deputy village chief also stepped forward and said, "No, that's true. There was such a kid; he killed Andrin..."
"Well, how do you expect me to believe your nonsense? You killed my brother, put the blame on someone you've never heard of, and the person got away. If I told you that, would you believe me?"
The villagers had no way of arguing with what Anderson said. Although everything they said was true, it did sound like a lie.
There was nothing they could do about it. By the look of Anderson, if he didn't seek justice for his brother, he would never be satisfied.
Farmer spoke up and said, "Anderson, what will it take for you to let us go?"
When Anderson heard his words, he laughed out loud again, "Hahaha... As expected. You're truly the village chief; your awareness is better than the average person. All right, I can forget about the incident which killed my brother, Andrin. However, you must promise me two conditions."
When they heard Anderson say this, the villagers couldn't help but brighten up. It seemed that there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
Farmer was helpless, "Tell me about it."
Anderson held up his index finger, "First, the protection fee to be paid is 50,000 Belly per month per person!"
Fifty thousand? It was five times the original amount, and the villagers couldn't help but look pale.
Farmer was pretty calm, "What about the second one?"
Anderson gave a wicked look and said, "Second, you must let your daughter Verdan and that deputy village chief's daughter Jenny come with me."
What?!
Farmer was furious upon hearing this, "My daughter and the deputy mayor's daughter are only fifteen years old; how could we let you take them away? Also, 50,000 Belly per person per month, even if we don't eat or drink, we can't save that much money per family per month!"
Anderson smiled, "I don't care. That hot chick, Verdan, I am always thinking of her, and that Jenny is also a beautiful girl. You've killed my brother, so this is how you have to pay me back."
At this point, Farmer somewhat understood that Anderson's real purpose was not to avenge his brother's death but to seek greater profit from the villagers.
In other words, regarding the death of Andrin, Anderson, as his brother, didn't feel the slightest bit of grief. Instead, he used it to exploit the villagers. He was a wicked man.
If he really gave his daughter to Anderson, wouldn't he be pushing her into the pit of fire?
Unlike Anderson, Farmer would rather be brutally killed than have his daughter harmed in any way.
With that in mind, Farmer drew his sword from his waist and pointed it straight at Anderson, "Damn you, devil, don't even think about such things. Even if I were to end up in hell, I wouldn't let my daughter be harmed in any way."
Farmer wasn't much of a fighter, but he was brave. He was honest and strong. He loved his daughter and liked to trust people unconditionally, which was why he was so popular among the villagers.
"You've got some balls, old man. In that case, I'll have to kill all of you and steal that chick, Verdan..." Anderson said, still smiling evilly.
What?
Farmer thought that his daughter's life might be spared if he died in a firefight with this guy.
However, this guy was relentless toward Verdan. There was nothing he could do; it was all because of Verdan... so beautiful...
Just as Anderson was about to give the order, three ships arrived at the harbor.
Did Leiyin come?
No, he didn't. It was the villagers from West Village who came to reinforce them after receiving the news.
The two villages have always been very united, and they understand that the two villages were almost destroyed.
If East Village were slaughtered, West Village would be next to be slaughtered as well.
The arrival of the people from West Village equalized the number of pirates and villagers.
However, it was of no use.
Anyone who understood the situation knew that even if the numbers were equal, there would only be a few more victims.
As soon as the villagers from West Village arrived, they surrounded the "Bad Wolf Pirates."
At this point, Anderson laughed contemptuously, "Are there going to be more people dying?".
Thus, the pirates and the villagers fought with each other. In a short time, the sound of shouting, killing, and the clash of swords rang out loudly.
The villagers didn't dare to mess with the Bad Wolf Pirates; they were just trying to survive. Since they weren't even given a chance to survive, they might as well fight to the death.
Anderson also rushed into the crowd, but Miller stopped him, "Your opponent is me!"
Seeing Miller, Anderson smiled coldly, "The [Guardian]? Let's see how long you can guard these people!"
With that, Anderson and Miller got into a fight. At that moment, Verdan came running back from the back of the mountain.
She saw the fighting crowd and was startled, "Did the fight... have begun?

"Father! I searched the back of the mountain for half a day but couldn't find him. That bastard Leiyin has escaped!" Verdan shouted in a loud and delicate voice from the far side of the battlefield.
The villagers didn't have much reaction to this, but they had predicted this result.
The village chief, Farmer, was devastated, remorseful, frustrated, and angry. He had trusted the kid so much, but that kid ran away. It was all his fault that he was blind and trusted the wrong person. Now, Farmer really wanted to kill Leiyin!
However, it was useless to think about that. Farmer then shouted to the distant Verdan, "Verdan! Run! Run as far as you can! Don't come back!"
Verdan cried at the words, "What about you, father?"
Farmer said with a straight face, "Leave me alone! A father must protect his daughter, so run!"
With tears in her eyes, Verdan ran far away, listening to Farmer. Anderson had heard these words, and he wouldn't let go of the little girl he was thinking of day and night.
At this time, Anderson was fighting with Miller, so he told the pirates who were fighting beside him, "Go and get me Verdan, or I'll execute you!"
The pirate got the order and ran toward Verdan.
Miller was still pestering Anderson.
"ROKUSHIKI - SHINGAN!"
Miller snapped, and the power gathered on his index finger came out suddenly, but Anderson flinched away from his attack.
"ROKUSHIKI - RANKYAKU!"
Miller attacked him again with a cyclonic chopper on his foot, but Anderson dodged it again quickly.
This guy, Anderson, was too fast.
"It's been a year, and your strength still hasn't grown at all." Anderson smiled contemptuously at Miller.
Immediately afterward, Anderson's two hands turned into two wolf's claws, which were as sharp as razors. The claws blatantly slashed at Miller's chest, and Miller couldn't dodge them. A web of blood was formed on his chest.
The wolf's claws? That was right, a wolf.
Anderson, the captain of the "Bad Wolf Pirates," with a bounty of ten million baileys, had the feral canine (wolf form) ability!
A year ago, when the Bad Wolf Pirates had just invaded the village, Anderson and Miller had fought. The two were able to tie, even though Anderson was slightly stronger than Miller.
In the intervening years, Miller had gained the villagers' trust through his ability to sell his reputation and had already been hollowed out by wine and sex. Anderson, on the other hand, to expand his power, constantly fought with the people of other islands. So, of course, his fighting power continued to grow.
Originally, Anderson had the devil fruit ability, so his strength was slightly stronger than Miller's. However, Miller's physical strength was far less than before. Anderson's fighting power was growing, so the difference in strength could be imagined.
"ROKUSHIKI - TEKKAI!"
Seeing Anderson wolf's claws clenched into a fist, Miller launched his Rokushiki moves [Tekkai] to resist the attack. As a result of Anderson punched, Miller spat blood from his mouth, and his eyes turned white.
"Miller, your [Tekkai] is so weak." The semi-beastly Anderson said mockingly to Miller, who was already lying on the ground.
Next, Anderson's face changed, "You have blocked me from going after Verdan, so I'm going to make you suffer a painful death!"
With that, his wolf's claws reached out to Miller, who howled in agony as the claws, which were like razors, cut into his flesh.
The second time the claws reached out to Miller, he cried out in even greater agony.
By the third blow, Miller could take it no more, "Lord Anderson, please let me go! Please, Lord Anderson, let me go!"
Upon hearing Miller's plea, Anderson looked even more smug and excited, "Hahaha, what the hell [Guardian], you are nothing more than that!".
The nearby villagers, who were still fighting, couldn't believe their ears when they heard Miller speak such words. He was the village's guardian; how could he say such a thing and call Anderson "Lord"? The villagers couldn't help but be surprised.
It was hard to paint a tiger without knowing the face and the heart of the tiger!
What surprised them even more, was still to come.
"Lord Anderson, I would do anything for you if you would just let me go!" Miller roar.
After hearing this, Anderson was even more ecstatic, "Really? Then this lord wants you to point the finger at these ungrateful lowlifes, can you do that?"
Miller thought for a moment, "Well... No problem!"
Farmer was fighting with his sword and had just listened to the conversation between Miller and Anderson. He then cut down the pirate and shouted at him, "Miller, do you know what you're saying?"
Farmer hated Miller, but he couldn't believe in his heart that Miller would betray them.
However, things were not at all what Farmer had in mind.
When he heard Farmer yell at him, Miller shot back, "Shut up, you old fool! I've been putting up with you for a long time, while you were acting all high and mighty. You make people look uncomfortable, acting like you're the savior. You know, I'm the one who guards the village!"
"Guardian, your ass!" Farmer was angry. "Look at you now. How dare you speak out here!"
The villagers who were fighting bitterly beside him couldn't help but accuse, "Miller, I can't believe you're like this!"
"We're really missing the point!"
"Miller, you're an animal!"
Upon hearing the villagers' words, Miller's face darkened as he said, "If you call me an animal, then I'll be an animal and show you."
With that said, Miller rushed toward the crowd and attacked the villagers with [Rokushiki]. In an instant, the villagers were knocked down. Miller had submitted to absolute power, becoming a slave to the devil. He had turned to kill the villagers in battle.
It was until today that people could see Miller's true face.
The word "guardian" used to address him was a slap in the face of the villagers.
Despite his excitement, Anderson didn't give up his hunt for Verdan. He didn't believe that a defenseless fifteen-year-old girl could escape from his grasp. In his opinion, both Verdan and the village were already in his possession.
As expected, in a short time, the two pirates had captured Verdan.
When he saw Verdan, Anderson's blood swelled, "Little girl, you can't escape from my palm."
Verdan's face was already pale as death.
What good could come from a lamb in a tiger's den?
Farmer saw this situation and said, "Bastard, let go of my daughter!"
Just as the two pirates were about to take Verdan to the ship, two dark weapons flew in and stabbed the two pirates to the ground.
