- If you had bothered to ask us, I would have told you right away that poisons do not work on us, - Johnny explained carelessly, blowing the contents of his ear off his finger as the dumbfounded pirates stared at him with their eyes rolling on their foreheads. - I have dragon lungs, so absolutely all poisonous gases are harmless to me, and the dragon's immune system allows you to cope with even the most deadly poison without any problems, if it gets into my blood. Yosaku is even better. If I can fall for thirty minutes from some particularly lethal poison, then ten seconds is enough for him to develop complete immunity to any poison, no matter how deadly it is. In other words, you just gave him a good five minutes to fully recuperate, - Johnny added at the end, looking directly at Craig.
Fortunately, Don, despite his dull, ape-like face, turned out to be a smart pirate, so he immediately caught a distinct warning in Johnny's words. And only because of this, the attack of Yosaku, literally emerging from the remains of poisonous smoke near Don, was blocked ... relatively. Literally a moment before Yosaku's fist slammed into Craig's mask-covered face, Don managed to cover himself with his cloak. A cloak, the reverse side of which turned out to be made up of solid thorns. Craig tried to close up under the hedgehog, but he was clearly unlucky with the enemy. Seeing the thorns, Yosaku didn't even try to stop. Just through the spikes and the mask, but the guy still slammed his fist into Craig's face. This time it was Don who was sent flying, and Yosaku's spiked fist ... and what about the fist? The guy hadn't paid any attention to such wounds for a long time. Craig had not yet had time to fall on the sand, and the holes from the thorns were half overgrown. By the time the angry Don got to his feet, Yosaku's fist was as good as new.
- Ryu, why the hell did you warn him ?! - barely hitting Craig, turned to Johnny, literally bursting with anger Yosaku.
- And I'm sorry, I'm sorry! - Johnny replied carelessly, in a completely unapologetic tone, and then added: - I did it by accident!
- Accidentally? Fuck there! Do you really think I'll believe it?
- Uh-uh ... huh?
- Who are you trying to mow under now? To Luffy Aniki? So you're not cool enough to get it done! When we're done here, I'll kick your ass !!!
- Ha-ah? - Johnny drawled, as if he didn't believe what he had heard. - Who is going to kick someone's ass? I will kick you until your regeneration stops working!
- Seriously? Then I'll kick you until you spit your fruit back out at all!
The skirmish between Johnny and Yosaku in a matter of seconds slipped to the level of young children who could not share their favorite toy, but who knew a lot of bad words:
- Spit my fruit back out? You're an idiot? It's impossible, you moron!
- I know it's impossible! And you yourself are an idiot! Read the atmosphere, ram!
- You are telling me to read the atmosphere, you idiot ?! Yes, you yourself will be killed again! So you read the atmosphere, nerd!
Indeed, Yosaku barely managed to dodge when Craig tried to blow off his head with a huge spear, which, as it turned out, exploded violently if it hit anything. Craig made his spear from two shoulder pads joined together. On the one hand, a small sharp tip came out into a palm long and wide, and on the other, a two-meter iron handle. Craig's spear was like ... a lollipop ... a bomb on a stick. Both Johnny and Yosaku immediately thought of Luffy. More precisely about the reaction of their captain. True, here their opinions were divided. Johnny figured that, as with Pearl, Luffy would want to kill Craig immediately, and Yosaku thought of all the stupid and not so jokes that their captain would throw at Don. However, the first did not exclude the second at all, and vice versa.
In fact, it is more likely that, at first, ridicule would fall on Craig, and then unconditional Death would come. Still, Luffy rarely missed the opportunity to morally mock his opponents ... and not opponents either. On the other hand, as has been said more than once, with Luffy there was never anything to be 100% sure of. The guy could have spared Craig just because he reminded him of his "favorite monkey from home." After all, he didn't even want to kill Buggy at first, simply because he had a "big, cool, red nose." And although, in the end, it was only his acquaintance with Shanks that saved Buggy's life, it was his "big, cool, red nose" that allowed Buggy to live long enough for his longtime friendship with Shanks to be mentioned at all. Therefore, Luffy may well have reacted to Craig in some way differently than expected from him.
- Seriously, man, how many more of these weapons do you have? - Yosaku asked displeased when, dodging another attack of Craig's spear, he saw that it also exploded. - I understand that you are just a fucking weak, but there is a limit to everything!
- WEAK? !! - the pirate's eyes were bloodshot. - I'M WEAK?!! You dare to call ME WEAK ?! I am the man with the strongest weapons and the most durable armor in the world! I have not lost a single battle in my entire life! I have my own army of over ten thousand men! I am a perfect person, demanding the appeal "Don"! And you dare to call me weak ?! ME?! DON CRAIG? !!
- Why are you so turned on? - Yosaku snorted. - My captain always says that if someone starts pissing with boiling water when they are called weakling, then he is actually a weakling. And what else is the most powerful weapon and the most durable armor in the world? How old are you, idiot? - The guy looked at his opponent with almost disgust. - Your armor is like a tin can to any swordsman who can cut steel. Your weapon is no better. If you were now fighting my captain or his first mate, you could just as well have armed yourself with water pistols: there would be no difference. And what does "an army of more than ten thousand men" mean? Are you blind, deaf and a brake? Half of your army is already dead, and the remaining half will die in the very near future, you can not even doubt that. There are less than a dozen ships left on the water, so soon our captain and his first mate will go ashore, and then you're all finished here. Someone here shouted that we are monsters? So I want to disappoint you, you still have no idea what real monsters really look like, but you can be sure that you will see them very soon ... unless, of course, you die sooner.
With each new proposal, the face of Craig and the people around him became more and more funny ... in the eyes of the Straw Hats present here. How many times has it been said that long-term communication with Luffy has not passed without a trace for anyone? Despite the already achieved result, Yosaku did not even think to stop:
- And what about the fact that you should be addressed as "Don" ... man, what kind of world do you live in? Take off your rosy glasses already, or is it a matter of pills? I do not know what you are throwing yourself with, but it is clearly getting you too high. Perfect personality? You remind me of a little dog. Probably met such? That they bark all the time and try to bite your legs, but as soon as you turn to them, they are immediately fleeing? Don't you look alike? At best, what a mongrel like you can do is piss off and piss on your pant leg. Congratulations, you've pissed me off for a long time, but don't even hope that I'll let you piss on my pant leg.
- O-o-o! - Johnny, frankly impressed, clapped his hands.
Yosaku sighed with satisfaction - sometimes it is so pleasant to express what you think. From the water came the screams of people, explosions and the crackle of fire, but if you ignore Johnny clapping, then here and now you could hear the sound of a needle dropped on the sand. Luffy would definitely be pleased. Usually only he could cause such a reaction ... although, of course, Zoro could also, but a little differently. Where Luffy caused such an overwhelming silence with his chatter, Zoro could summon it either by his presence alone or by the mere mention of his name. Over the past couple of years, horror stories about the "Pirate Slayer" in local waters have become more popular than the horror stories about the legendary pirate Whitebeard, considered the strongest man in the world. And this is quite natural. Whitebeard is somewhere, far away, on the mysterious and unexplored Grand Line, and "Pirate Slayer" is here, close, and can knock on your door at any moment. Although recently horror stories have become not so much about the "Pirate Slayer" as about the "Pirate Slayers". And the majority did not care that only pirates were dying - this fact did not stop people from being afraid.
