Pirate: My partner is too crooked

"What did you say? Pirates attacked the port towns on the east coast?"

After hearing the news brought by Bell, Cobra and Ikarem, who were already nervous, seemed even more nervous.

A group of people from a restaurant on the sea with unclear intentions have just appeared here, and there are pirates causing trouble over there.

During the period when Crocodile happened to be away, it was not a good thing for the Kingdom of Alabasta.

——Although Crocodile has been aware of the possible conspiracy behind the scenes, since the Shichibukai came to Alabasta, there have indeed been fewer pirate attacks on coastal ports.

It's actually quite helpless to say the least. It's a kingdom with a reserve force of 600,000, but it's now in a situation where it needs the protection of pirates.

Of course, this is inseparable from the core problem of Alabasta’s vast territory and lack of resources.

Not to mention that the soft-hearted Kobra was not a hero to begin with. Even if a king with strong methods but no strength came over, he would still be in the same embarrassing situation.

Otherwise, Crocodile would not be comfortable and have occupied Alabasta for more than ten years!

"Lord Kobra, the situation is urgent. I must go over first to stabilize the situation."

After feeling that the strangers in front of him showed no ill will toward King Kobra, Bell of the Falcon bowed deeply, vibrated his plump wings, and galloped away into the distant sky.

As an ability user with the bird fruit and falcon form of the animal type, he has a unique advantage in speed and can support the battlefield at the second time.

Why is it said to be the second time?

"You are a pirate, you really know how to choose the right time to show up. Let's just treat it as a welcome gift for the first time here. You two wait for me for a moment."

After saying that, before Kobra and Ikarim could respond, arcs of electricity flowed from Lin Zhi's body.

As the haki of knowledge spread over a large area, he soon captured the coastal towns that Bell said were attacked by pirates.

The next second, in the shocked eyes of Cobra Weiwei and the others, lightning flashed, and Lin Zhi turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared from the place.

In fact, with his current development of domineering and fruit abilities, he can already perform long-distance precise lightning strikes like Enel without moving.

But considering the upcoming "Operation Stealing Laosha", he decided to show his face in front of the public first.

In this way, Aqua will be able to reduce a lot of pressure in her subsequent harvest of cultists.

"Same as Crocodile, yo yo yo ~ a natural fruit ability user?"

The experienced Ikarem was the first to recover from the shock, and looked at the place where Lin Zhi disappeared and exclaimed in deep wonder.

As expected, he was a monster-like man just like what was recorded in the newspaper...

"Don't worry, don't worry. Although that guy is a bit insidious, he is still pretty reliable in what he does."

Aqua waved her hand casually, trusting Lin Zhi very much.

Although he recognized his identity from the long blue hair, Kobra still asked tentatively: "Who are you?"

"Aqua, you are the goddess of water that these people firmly believe in."

The most troublesome Lin Zhi was not around, so Aqua just pretended to be the leader of the team, raising her head and chest.

"I see, hello and welcome to Alabasta."

Because they had just come into contact and didn't know each other's details, Kobra and Ikarem seemed a little nervous.

While they were talking, Vivi, who was hiding behind Kobra's trousers, kept looking at this strange team in front of her with her big eyes open.

Among them, Kang Na and the furry Meow Meow, who seemed to be about the same age, attracted most of her attention.

On the other hand, Kosha next to him pretended to be calm. He was scared but unwilling to flinch, and forced himself to stare at Brooke, who looked the most terrifying.

He felt that only in this way could he show the aura that the leader of the Shasha Group should have.

"Looking at me like that, is there something dirty on my face?"

Brooke noticed the young man's gaze and spoke with a standard cold joke, "Although I'm just a skeleton and have no so-called face, yo ho ho ho~"

"ah!"

This terrifying laughter made Kosha, who was on the verge of fear, break his guard on the spot and hide behind Weiwei very spinelessly.

He is not even afraid of vicious sand thieves armed with swords, but seems to be afraid of things like skeleton ghosts.

After all, he is still a child of seven or eight years old.

…

A coastal town east of Alabasta.

Fires shot into the sky, and civilians fled in all directions away from their homes, but the pirates burned, killed, and looted wantonly.

"Hahaha! This Alabasta is the right place. Although it is not as rich as other islands, it does not have a navy stationed there. Women can grab as much treasure as they want!"

The captain wearing a pirate hat stood in the firelight and laughed, his ugly face twisted as he watched his younger brothers gathering boxes of valuables and beautiful women.

Due to the geographical restrictions mentioned earlier, although Alabasta also has naval garrison, there is no way to disperse it to various towns.

"Don't take my mother away, you damn bastard pirate!"

The little boy with blood on his head held the broom stick tightly and tapped the pirate captain's trousers.

In front of the pirates of the Grand Line, the child's full-out attack was insignificant, like scratching an itch.

Every time the stick was struck, the only effect it had was to make the atmosphere of despair that permeated the entire town thicker.

This is the situation that the people living at the bottom of the pirate world will encounter at any time, and it is also the sadness of the era of great navigation in the superficially glamorous and passionate age.

Therefore, Crocodile became a "national hero" supported by everyone in just a few years.

Regardless of the conspiracy hidden behind his smiling face, at least in the early stages of developing his power, this guy really played a role in deterring other pirates and protecting Alabasta.

"You little brat who doesn't know how to live or die, I think it's time to stop it!"

The pirate captain impatiently clicked his earwax, and his other hand was already reaching for the machete behind him.

The moment the icy cold light slashed down, deafening thunder suddenly sounded all around.

Then, this pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million was turned into charcoal by lightning, and even the weapon in his hand turned into dust and disappeared into the vast sand dunes.

Dense arcs covered the dilapidated towns, and the electromagnetic force generated rolled up the yellow sand on the ground, extinguishing all the raging fires.

Boom boom boom!

The other members of the pirate group, who were immersed in the madness of plundering, had not yet realized what had happened, and the fate of their own captain fell on them.

Almost instantly, this pirate gang of nearly fifty people was completely destroyed!

The sudden salvation made the residents who were running away in panic froze in place, looking at the suddenly extinguished fire and the disappearing pirates around them, their expressions were in a trance, as if they were dreaming.

"God's punishment! It's God's punishment! Even God can't stand these damn pirates!"

Finally, some people began to regain their composure, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the sky.

"Don't be naive, there is no divine punishment."

The cold voice interrupted the residents' devout prayers.

Electricity rushed around and condensed into Lin Zhi's figure appearing in the center of the town.

The attention of all the residents was immediately attracted by him who was bathed in thunder and lightning. Combined with the inexplicable thunder that had just struck, it was a violation of common sense.

But they soon realized that it was the man in front of them, the hero who saved the entire town.

After all, Mr. Crocodile, who had previously helped them defeat Bucky the Clown, a prisoner with a bounty of twenty million on his head, was also so tall and divine!

After gathering the public's attention in a high-profile manner, although he was conflicted, for the sake of the overall strength of the entire team, Lin Zhi still spoke calmly.

"I will remember this deeply in my mind. The one who saves you is not some heavenly punishment, but the noble and sacred Water Goddess Aqua!"

"No hero can protect you who are weak all the time. If you want not to be bullied, just rely on your own strength and join the great Axis Cult!"

vomit……

Just before he was about to vomit, Lin Zhi casually threw out the Axis Cult application form he had prepared in advance, and disappeared into lightning again.

The goddess of water, Lady Aqua...

Such an elusive method made the urban residents tremble. They slowly stepped forward and carefully picked up the application forms scattered on the ground.

A few lines of small words immediately came into view:

[As long as Axis believers are serious, they can do anything. We are people who can do it. Even if we don’t do well, it’s not our fault. If we don’t, it’s all the world’s fault! 】

[Save one hundred words here]

Seeing the teachings that constantly impacted their understanding, the residents were deeply touched, and their sad eyes gradually turned to wisdom.

Living at the bottom of the world, they just want to live a stable life, and they don't have much pursuit. Even if there is only a faint hope, they will desperately hold on to it.

As for who the hero is, it doesn't seem so important.

Become stronger, protect yourself, and join the Axis Cult!

Lin Zhi's words continued to echo in their hearts. Gradually, people whose breathing became rapid began to sign the application form one after another.

By the time Falcon Bell, who was running at full speed, arrived here, the pirates who appeared in the report had already integrated into the surface and became part of the desert.

From the descriptions of the residents, he judged with horror on his face that the guy who showed up in advance and saved the town from the pirates turned out to be a young man he had just met!

The opponent's speed is actually much faster than myself flying in the air!

Ignoring the residents' endless praise, Bell took off again, returned the same way, and increased his speed to the extreme.

The extremely evil Lei Linzhi is an extremely dangerous man. He must return to Lord Cobra and Princess Vivi as soon as possible!

At the same time, on the way back to the village where Kousha lived, Lin Zhi encountered an unexpected situation.

The giant white dragon flapped its wings and flew, leading Aqua and others towards the coast...

Run away?

The lightning flashed, and Lin Zhi came to Kang Na's back, where the dragon's true form was revealed.

Seeing Lin Zhi, Aqua shrank her head and quietly retreated behind everyone.

Needless to say, he was probably causing some kind of big trouble.

"Tell me, Aqua, what happened? Why did you rush back?" Lin Zhi asked in a deep voice.

The hurricane caused by Kang Na's high-speed flight blew his clothes loudly.

"No, nothing happened. We were just worried about your safety and wanted to follow you over to have a look..." Aqua quibbled in a low voice.

That tone didn't sound like the aura that an arrogant and domineering idiot goddess should have.

"Aqua heard the little boy named Kosha say that the village was short of water, so she summoned a flood and flooded the entire village."

Miao Miao ruthlessly exposed Aqua's lies.

Lin Zhi: "..."

With just this short sentence, he could clearly figure out the entire detailed process.

"Well, at least when the king and Curly Hair came after me to demand compensation, I asked Kangna to take everyone away in advance!"

Aqua was so flustered by Lin Zhi's gaze that she finally broke her guard and shouted loudly with a face full of pain, "Compensation is compensation! At worst, I will take out all the fine wine in my collection!!"

It was a top-notch wine that she had spent all her savings to buy in the Capital of Seven Waters, and she had been reluctant to drink it.

Although he is a fool who can cause trouble wherever he goes, Aqua is surprisingly abiding by the rules and has the most basic morals and bottom line.

Or to be more precise, I can’t let go of that heavy goddess baggage.

"That's a good realization. We're just on our way. Let's go back to the Infinite Dream to get the bar first." Lin Zhiruo nodded and chuckled.

Although I had somewhat guessed the real reason why Kobra and Ikarem were chasing after me, I still had to scare this trouble-making goddess who easily got carried away.

"Ahhhh! Please help me, Mr. Lin Zhi. The tavern owner said that is a limited edition wine!"

Aqua, who was reluctant to part with the wine, lowered her noble head without hesitation, pulled up Lin Zhi's trouser legs and burst into tears.

Seeing this, the other partners turned their heads and looked elsewhere.

This shameless and shameless behavior once again refreshed their deep understanding of the word "goddess".

well……

Seeing that the stupid goddess's snot bubbles were smeared on his trouser legs, Lin Zhi finally relented and did not persist any longer.

In the final analysis, it is still the partner you summoned.

"Okay, okay, let's see how you fare."

"Kanna, go back the way you came."

In the barren village where Kosha lived, drinking water was the rarest treasure compared to the loss of some property.

It was too late for them to be grateful, so how could they ask for compensation from Aqua?

"oh."

Compared to Aqua, Kangna obviously listened to Lin Zhi's words more, and immediately changed direction and landed again in the village that had become a land of water.

As soon as he landed, an excited Kobra came over with a group of villagers.

"I'm very sorry for the damage caused to the village. This goddess, uh, Lin Zhi will fully compensate you!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Aqua, you have brought hope to the whole village!"

Aqua's and Kobra's voices sounded at the same time, and then they both froze on the spot, staring at each other.

grateful? Bring hope?

Feel sorry? compensation?

"Your Majesty the King is right, Miss Aqua. On behalf of the entire village, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you. With the water source you created, everyone in the village will not have to move hundreds of kilometers away!"

The scrawny old village chief burst into tears of gratitude, "You guys left so fast just now, old man, I thought I would never have a chance to express my gratitude!"

Behind him, Princess Vivi, the stubborn Kosha and a group of villagers also bowed ninety degrees to Aqua to express their gratitude.

"Thank you very much for saving the village!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Aqua blinked her intelligent eyes, completely confused.

"Ah, ah?!" (End of chapter)
