Pirates: Invincible from the start

Chapter 22

The Dragon Pirates have ruled this island for nearly six years.

Every village on this island must pay a head fee to the Dragon Pirates every month.

If they can't pay, there is only one word, that is death.

If anyone dares to resist, then what they face will be the destruction of the entire village.

So far, no one has dared to really resist.

At the beginning, they also had hope that the navy would come to attack this group of pirates.

But when the Dragon Pirates easily defeated the five warships that came to attack them, they were desperate.

Later, no matter how many navy came, when facing this group of monsters, they were as fragile as eggs that would break if squeezed by hand.

This made them realize that the power displayed by this group of monsters is completely beyond the reach of humans. What made them even more desperate was that a navy officer who looked like a mouse came later, not only did not attack the Dragon Pirates, but also used his navy's power to block the news here.

If anyone went to the navy for help, this guy would turn around and give the news to Arlong.

In this way, not only will the villager who asked for help die miserably, but even his village will be implicated.

In this way, their last glimmer of hope was completely destroyed.

So far, the residents of this island have been living silently in such a dire environment for six years.

And today is the monthly collection day.

A group of fishmen, led by two cadres, walked into the village of Kokosia, which is the village where Nami lives.

It can be seen that the one walking in the front is a cartilaginous fishman.

This guy is wearing a dark blue sleeveless karate uniform, with two small braids in his hair, two fish fins like machetes on his arms, explosive muscles, and a daunting aura all over his body.

This outfit is obviously a cadre of the Dragon Pirates and a former member of the Sun Pirates,"Kroobi". One step behind Kroobi is a kissing fishman wearing a blue sleeveless shirt, black shorts, short blond hair, and protruding lips, looking like a ferro.

This one should be the leader of the Dragon Pirates, a former member of the Sun Pirates,"Jiu".

Led by the two leaders, the fishmen came to the middle of the only street in the village.

Without their urging, the villagers spontaneously walked out of the room, one by one holding money, lined up, and walked in front of the fishmen.

They threw the money they had worked hard for a month into an empty bag held by a fishman.

""Hurry up, why are you dithering? Not enough money, right?"

The fishman who collected the money stared at the villager who was a little slow in paying with a ferocious look in his eyes.

He snatched the money from the villager's hand, shook it, and casually threw it into the pocket in front of him.

Then he stretched out his hand, grabbed the villager's hand, and threw him to the ground.

The villager who fell to the ground did not dare to say a word. He just stood up silently and limped to the house next door.

The other villagers watched all this with wooden expressions. They were used to it. They were used to the fishman's power, the fishman's tyranny, and the fishman's oppression.

After a while, the fishman who collected the money looked at him blankly. The empty bag in front of them was filled with money.

Kroobi glanced indifferently at the villagers standing on both sides of the street, and then walked towards the orange orchard with the fishmen, Ju, with his hands in his pockets, without saying a word.

That was the last person in the village, and even if the other person was Nami's sister, she had to pay.

After collecting the money from this last person, their work for the day was over.

Because Cocosia Village is the closest village to Arlong Paradise, they usually come here to collect money last.

Kroobi and Ju, who were walking in front, suddenly stopped, causing a commotion among the fishmen following them.

"What happened?"

They all raised their heads and looked forward, only to see a man and a woman walking towards them outside the village.

These two people were Kota and Kuina who had just come from the seaside.

They parked their boat at the simple dock outside the village and headed straight for the village, just in time to run into a group of fishmen who were leaving the village.

Staring at the two human kids coming in the opposite direction,

Kroobi asked a fishman behind him,"Did you miss two? Why haven't you seen these two before?"

This fishman was specifically responsible for counting. He raised the purse in his hand and replied in an affirmative tone.

"Except for the head fee of Nami's sister in the orange orchard, all other money has been collected."

After hearing the reply, Kroobi turned his head and stared coldly at Kota and Kuina.

"If I'm not mistaken, then these two humans are from outside, so let's kill them!"

That's right, kill them, they won't let the news here leak out easily.

Seeing the fishman opposite stopped,

Kota also stopped and handed it to Kuina beside him.

He took off the wine gourd from his waist, stood there lazily, drinking wine, staring at the fishman opposite with a playful look, waiting for Kuina's performance.

Kuina glanced at the fishman opposite with indifference, and finally stopped her gaze on Kroobi and Jiu.

Obviously, among this group of fishmen, Kuina only paid attention to the two of them. These two fishmen knew who they were at a glance and were easy to recognize.

Kuina did not stop, but instead quickened her pace towards the fishman.

The villagers standing under the eaves on both sides saw that Kuina not only did not stop when she saw the fishman, but instead quickened her speed.

They couldn't help but feel nervous and revealed their A worried look.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in uniform, with four crisscross scars on his face and a windmill on his hat, walked out quickly from the next room and reached out to stop Kuina. When

Kota saw the middle-aged man appear, a smile flashed in his eyes. He recognized the man at a glance. He was the sheriff of this village, Ken.

This guy is a very gentle character. To Nami and Nojiko, he is like a father.

Ken saw that the girl did not run away when she saw the fish-man, but went straight towards the fish-man, so he could not help but rush out of the room to stop her.

These two people from the outer islands should be here for the first time. They don't know the cruelty of the fish-man, so they are so indifferent when facing the fish-man.

"We have to drive these two out of the village before the fish-man comes."

Many thoughts flashed through Ajian's mind.

Then, he stared at Kuina, deliberately with a cold face and unfriendly tone."Little girl, outsiders are not welcome here, please leave."

Kuina looked at Ajian, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her cold eyes.

Although the uncle's tone was not very good, the eagerness and concern in his eyes could not be hidden.

Looking at Kuina's eyes, Kota shrugged, walked over, and motioned Kuina to continue.

He put his arm around Ajian's shoulders, pulled her aside, and said to Ajian with a smile:"Thank you, uncle, we appreciate your kindness, we know what we are doing."

These words made Ajian stunned.

During this time of stunned, Kuina had walked more than ten meters away.

Seeing Kuina who was about to walk in front of the fish-man, Ajian hurriedly shouted:"Don't go over, little girl."

Kuina, who was moving forward, turned around and gave Ajian a smile

"It's okay, uncle. We came here specially to deal with Aaron."

""Deal with A-Long?" A-Jian showed a shocked expression.

"Yes! Watch it!" Kota pointed to the front.

Just when Kuina turned her head to look at Ken, Ju started to act.

He didn't care about sneak attacks or not, as long as he could get rid of the enemy.

He immediately puffed up his mouth like a gun barrel and sprayed a water cannon at Kuina. The water cannon was like a bullet fired from a gun, quickly shooting towards the back of Kuina's head.

Ju stared at Kuina with excitement, he was sure that he could kill Kuina with one shot.

However, the development of things is often not as simple as he imagined.

Kuina seemed to have predicted the future, and she tilted her head slightly, easily dodging the bubble.

The bubble brushed past Kuina's ear and shot towards Kota behind her.

Looking at the bubbles shooting towards them rapidly, Ken's pupils dilated instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his body.

He subconsciously wanted to pull Kota to hide, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that the space around him had suddenly... It was as if the time had solidified, making him completely unable to move.

And the bubble that shot towards them also hovered in front of them, unable to move forward any further.

It might have been just a moment, Ah Jian suddenly felt that the space around him had resumed flowing.

He saw the bubble in front of him fall to the ground with a"pop".

Ah Jian stared, looking at the bubble on the ground in horror.

What kind of power is this?

If it is such a power, maybe it can really beat Aaron!

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ah Jian's eyes, and then quickly dimmed.

No, it's impossible, how could that group of monsters be a match for humans.

He has experienced too much despair and no longer believes that any human can defeat Aaron.

He shook his head and looked up at Kota.

Kota noticed Ah Jian's gaze, raised his wine gourd and took a sip, then turned to look at him and smiled:"I said we are here to deal with Aaron."

He paused, and his tone became more serious
