Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 22
Suddenly, Zangao let out a scream, and looked at the top of the slope in a cold sweat, while the cat brothers also looked at it in fear.All the pirates also woke up, trembling and looking up.

Anke and Sauron turned to look sideways, Sauron gritted his teeth, and Anke asked boringly: "Who??" Sauron slowly explained: "He is the steward, that Captain Crowe."

"Oh..." Encore responded, a little interested in the next development.

Looking at the chaos in front of him, the well-dressed Captain Crowe shouted: "What's going on!! Praise!!"

Zangao trembled a few times, pointed at Sauron and the others and said, "Didn't you say that nothing will happen to these brats!"

"Ah, I said so," Captain Crowe held his glasses with his wrist, put down his bag and said, "I said so, but I didn't expect you to be so useless!! You can't even deal with a few little devils! !"

"It's useless..." Zangao repeated this sentence tremblingly, while Anke smiled and watched Captain Crowe's gesture of lifting his glasses, his eyes were on the bag on the ground, and he thought to himself: "What kind of weapon is it? made this awkward gesture?"

"Who are you saying is useless??" Brother Catman yelled angrily, grinding his paws.Sam said viciously: "You were indeed very powerful before, but that was three years ago. When you were enjoying yourself in this village, our brothers were fighting each other!"

"Yes, yes, we have attacked many villages and destroyed many pirate groups." Boogie also echoed.

"What do you want to say?" Captain Crowe said calmly.

"Does it mean that you can defeat our cat brothers now?" After saying that, he rushed up, and Sauron stared blankly at them, passing him and attacking Captain Crowe with a murderous aura.

"Stop!! Boogie! Sam!!" Zango shouted in shock, but couldn't stop them.Captain Crowe picked up the bag and tossed it up.The catman brothers grabbed Captain Crowe with one paw, but only tore up the bag. Everyone (except Anke) was surprised to see Captain Crowe appear behind the catman brothers like a wandering spirit, already wearing the A pair of black gloves, with sharp long knives on all ten fingers.Anke narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at that person and commented: Strange footwork, strange weapons, agile movements, hehe, pretty good~~~~
The cat brothers were taken aback, and quickly turned around and said: "It was just carelessness just now!! It's only starting now!!" He stood up and wanted to continue attacking, but found that Captain Crowe was gone. They looked around No trace of him was found.

Sauron also opened his eyes wide in surprise, watching Captain Crowe disappear suddenly, and Anke also looked at that place, but his eyes kept rolling. After all, under the perception of domineering and knowledgeable, it is useless to run fast.

"There it is, his 'errand'..." Zango said, holding his hat in his hand.

"Running errands?" Nami asked curiously.

"You're right, I'm not that flexible now," Captain Crowe, who suddenly appeared behind the cat-man brothers, stretched out his hands, put the sharp blade in front of them, and said with a sullen face: "Life on land has made me feel so much better." I've become much more gentle, I'll give you 5 minutes..." He said and slowly withdrew his hands.

The bloodless catman brothers didn't dare to give a kick, and watched the ten sharp blades with a cold light slowly move away from their eyes, then took a few breaths of relief, turned around and watched Captain Crowe crossed his hands, He raised his finger and stood upright with the blade beside his face, and said coldly: "After 5 minutes, it's still not done. I will send everyone present to the west."

The Catman Brothers were startled, turned around and attacked Sauron desperately, Anke yelled "Sauron!", and kicked the knife on the ground towards Sauron, Sauron took it back and took the white knife Bite in his mouth, throw off the scabbard, and look at the two people rushing down.

"So what!!" Sam and Boogie yelled.

"You guys won't understand the difference between the three swords style and the three swords." Seeing the two, Sauron closed his eyes, "Tiger-sho!!" Passing by, Sam and Boogie were slashed into the air .Anke looked up at the two people who were flying towards him, then raised his legs and walked to the side, avoiding the two people who didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

"There are still four minutes." Captain Crowe counted the time unmoved.

Everyone opened their mouths wide as they watched Sauron solve the trump card of the Pirates with one move, well, except for someone.

Sauron stood up, pointed the knife at Captain Crowe, bit the knife and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of them in five minutes!!" Saying that, Sauron assumed an attacking posture.

Captain Crowe smiled at his expressionless face, supported his glasses with his wrist, then withdrew his smile, and said flatly, "There are still three minutes."

Sauron looked at him who was indifferent, cold sweat broke out slightly on his face.

At this moment, Boogie, who had been defeated by Sauron, got up tremblingly, reached out and grabbed Zango's ankle, crying and said, "Boat...Captain, hypnotize me...I want to kill him!! Please... …Please!"

Seeing Buji's tears, Zangao slowly squatted down, took out another round knife and shook it slowly in front of Boogie...

Captain Crowe, who noticed this, said with a smile, "It's not hard enough, he's still alive."

Sauron rolled his eyes, stared at the huge body and said, "Maybe the fat all over his body saved him..."

Sudden.Muscles on Buji's body continued to bulge, "Wow!!!!" Boogie stood up with a roar, his body was bigger than before, and when he took a step, the whole ground shook.Anke looked at this completely inhuman person with twitching corners of his mouth, and Sauron dropped the knife in his mouth to the ground, looked at him incredulously, and said, "This guy was originally strong, but now he's been hypnotized." How terrible the strength will become!!"

And Nami looked back and was still sound asleep. Luffy ran down angrily. Zangao turned to look at Nami, gritted his teeth and said, "What else does this woman want to do!" Zangao said to Boogie "Boogie, go and deal with the man with the bellyband, and I'll deal with these two girls!" Then he shouted at the scarred pirates: "Hey! You guys, don't lie down and rest!! Hurry up and deal with them! ! Or we'll all die!!"

"Ah yes!!" The pirates who came to their senses immediately picked up their knives and rushed towards Nami.

"Encore, Nami!! Be careful!!" Sauron shouted.

"Sauron, you can deal with that fat cat, and leave the rest of the trash to me." An Ke said slowly, holding Xue Lian.

Then, Zoro and Zango watched in surprise as Encore appeared between the pirates and Nami in an instant, holding the knife with both hands, all the pirates were frozen in the huge ice block, Encore squatted down inertially, Long hair dragged on the ground.

Then he stood up and split the ice in half with a sword, revealing a path, then turned to Nami and said, "Nami, go and wake up Luffy first, I'll deal with this hypnotist."

"Oh, um!!" Nami responded, and ran towards Luffy. Seeing this, Zango quickly threw out a round knife and flew towards Nami, but the blade was cut off again when it passed the encore. into pieces.

Anke pointed at Zangao with his sword, and said with a sweet smile, "I don't want to kill people, be good, sir." Zangao looked at the ten-year-old girl, fear flashed in his heart, and his intuition told him that she could be killed easily. For him, even Captain Crowe...

"There are still 2 minutes." Captain Crowe said coldly, maintaining his initial posture.

...................................................

"Get up!! Luffy!!" Nami yelled as she stomped on Luffy's face.

"Ah!! It hurts!!" Luffy yelled, grabbed Nami's feet and stood up, "Nami!! How dare you step on my face??"

"Wow!!" Nami, who was grabbed by Luffy's ankle, screamed and fell to the ground.

"Oh, is it a rough and effective method? Not bad." Encore looked at them with Xuelian and said with a smile.

Zango was sweating coldly as he watched Luffy walk over from the split ice, gritted his teeth and said, "Boogie, I'll leave the guy in the bellyband to you. I'll get rid of the straw hat guy."

"One minute." Captain Crowe said coldly.

Encore looked at the pirates present, thought for a while, walked to Luffy and said, "Luffy, I'll leave this to you. I'll take back the ice first. If the ice is too long, they will die."

"Oh!!" Luffy looked at the above, responded casually, and suddenly said strangely: "Huh? Why is the bad housekeeper here too??"

It's unclear who Luffy was talking about, and Anke didn't ask him, but looked around, but couldn't find Nami, and asked, "Luffy, where's Nami?"

"I went to steal the treasure from the pirate ship." Luffy still stared at Captain Crowe.

"Oh." Knowing that Nami's money-lovers character will never let go of this good opportunity, Enke ignored her, inserted Xuelian into the ice cube and started to put the ice away. Although the weather started to heat up, it was too cold for too long People will still die, and these pirates are all scarred.

"It's almost time to kill everyone..." Captain Crowe put down his hands and said with a smile.

................................................

Suddenly, Captain Crowe turned around and shouted, "Don't approach me from behind me!!" He stretched out his long cat paws and scratched back.

Luffy and Encore at the bottom of the slope couldn't see what was going on, so Luffy took a few steps forward.Zang Gao looked back and said, "Isn't that Miss Ke Ya from the villa?"

Encore thought for a moment and said, "Is that villa where Luffy plans to borrow the boat?"

While taking back the ice cube, Anke listened carefully to what was being said on it,
Miss Ke Ya shouted, "Enough, Clobatel!! If you want any treasure, I will give it to you!! Get out now!!"

"Hehe, thank you so much," Captain Crowe said after a pause, "But I still want one more thing."

"what?"

"What I want is inner stability, yes, I just want to be stable. I spent three years here to gain the trust of the villagers, it is really a comfortable atmosphere, so I must get stability" Captain Crowe's tone turned cold, "And your property. In other words, there will be pirates attacking the village, and you will leave a will to die. These two things are necessary..."

Hearing this, Anke smiled coldly and said: "Coward!! Since you choose to be a pirate, you must be mentally prepared to lose your stable life."

Encore stopped listening to what they were saying, but Luffy was still listening, his face getting more and more angry.

After a while, suddenly there was a gunshot from above, Luffy stretched out his hand and punched it hard, and leaned towards Captain Crowe, everyone was stunned, Luffy retracted his hand and said fiercely: "Since you are so I hate being beaten, so I'll give you 100 punches!!!"

Suddenly there was another noise from above, Anke took out Xue Lian, chopped the ice cubes, walked to Luffy, looked at the above with trembling, and said: "They really angered the captain..."

"Little ghost??" Encore stared blankly at the three little ghosts emerging from above. Suddenly, Captain Crowe stood up, kicked Usopp away amid Miss Kaya's screams, and then stared at the three little ghosts. Luffy said coldly: "You are so clever, you actually used such a strange move, it seems that you have the ability of devil fruit."

"Yes, I ate rubber fruit, I am a rubber man." Luffy replied honestly.

"It turned out to be a rubber man. It's not my illusion that his hands became so long." Zangao said suddenly.

"Zangao, leave this kid to me, and Miss Keya to you." Captain Crowe looked at Zangao and said coldly: "According to the plan, let her write the will, and then kill her, and Those three ants."

"Understood." Zangao walked up, and Sauron blocked his way with a horizontal knife and said, "Stop, I won't let you pass through here."

Zangao lowered the brim of his hat and called "Boogie" in a low voice, and the hypnotized fat cat rushed up immediately.Jump in mid-air, jump off, "cat kill-jump"

Sauron hurriedly dodged to the side, Zangao took the opportunity to run up and disappeared.The fat cat jumped down, and a big crack was smashed into the ground. The ground shook violently, and even the rock wall next to the slope was shattered. Enke, who was about to catch up with Zangao, was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. Luffy He quickly reached out and pulled her up.After Encore stood firm, he jumped over the fallen stone and continued to run forward.

Luffy began to walk towards Captain Crowe step by step, while Sauron was being pressed against the rock wall by the big cat, and said unbearably: "You lost me once, didn't I say don't bother me? ?” He kicked the big cat away fiercely, swung the knife, and the fat cat’s huge body was swept into the air by the sword wind.

Anke paused in his footsteps, looked up, and saw that the fat cat was rolling its eyes and smashed towards him. Anke, who was too lazy to hide, held Xue Lian with both hands and slashed fiercely. Go up the rock wall and punch a big hole.An Ke looked at Sauron who was withdrawing the knife, and said helplessly, "Sauron, why do all the cats you hit fly towards me?"

"Is there?" Sauron put the knife back on his waist and replied lightly.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the woods, and Usopp, who was full of scars, sat up with difficulty, looked at the woods and asked in horror, "What's that sound?"

"I don't know, it seems that Zengo is dealing with them," Captain Crowe said coldly, "Why don't you go and see for yourself, but maybe it's too late."

Usopp looked at him fiercely and said, "You guy, living under the same roof with her for 3 years, don't you have any compassion?" He lay back on the ground weakly while speaking.

"No, as I said before, Keya is just one of my pawns." Captain Crowe's eyes flashed ruthlessly, "I will thank her after she dies."

"Usopp, go find them," Luffy suddenly shouted, "Leave this to us!!"

With gratitude in his eyes, Usopp struggled to stand up, gritted his teeth and stood up while supporting his trembling body.Lu Fei and others looked at him with a smile and stood up stubbornly and said, "I won't let you hurt the villagers..."

Usopp tried to take a step, but fell to the ground before taking a step, "Damn it, I can't move my body..."

"Hahaha!!" Captain Crowe smiled happily looking at Usopp's embarrassed appearance, "You'd better lie there, anyway, if you catch up, you won't be Zangao's opponent."

"Even if you are not his opponent, even if you can't beat me, I will protect them!!" Usopp lay on the ground and said firmly: "I want to protect them. I am a brave man of the sea. I will never allow you to touch the villagers. finger!!!”

............................................................

Encore sighed, looked at the black-faced Luffy, then pulled up Zoro's pants and asked him to carry Usopp back.Encore looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, this place is almost cleaned up, I'll leave this guy to you, and Sauron and I will take Usopp to find that lady."

Zoro put Usopp on his shoulder and asked, "Luffy, is it okay to be alone?"

"No, let's go." Luffy lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Encore followed Sauron's footsteps, and Usopp said slowly, "I'm sorry..."

Sauron said helplessly: "Actually, I'm faster alone, but I can't chase that forest without you leading the way."

"Isn't it enough to admit that you are crazy?" An Ke carried Xue Lian on his shoulders and trotted beside Sauron.

"Hey, let me say you three, who allowed you to pass here?" Captain Crowe said coldly.

"It's me!!!" Luffy stretched out his hand from below to attack Captain Crowe, Captain Crowe dodged sideways, "One more punch!!" With the strength of his fist, Luffy rushed up from below.

Seeing that Captain Crowe had no time to pay attention to them, the three of Sauron quickly went into the forest.

..................................................................

Walking into the forest, Usopp anxiously directed Sauron to run forward.An Ke who was following behind suddenly yelled, "Stop!"

Sauron immediately stopped and turned to look at Encore. "What's the matter, Enke, if you're tired, take a rest yourself, Keya is in danger now." Usopp yelled anxiously.

Anke slowly walked in front of them, raised his head and asked, "Usopp, do you know where Miss Keya is?"

"Although I don't know, this forest is very familiar to me. I'm sure I can find Kaya!!" Usopp looked around anxiously, and said, "Anyway, let's go first!!"

Sauron looked at Encore and didn't move, because he knew that blindly searching would be more time-consuming, so he said to Usopp: "Calm down, Usopp, let's see what Encore can do first."

"What can this little girl do!! When she figured it out, Keya is already in danger!!" Usopp just wanted to find someone quickly, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

A murderous look flashed across Anke's eyes, he picked up Xuelian and knocked Usopp unconscious, and said coldly: "It's in the way! Shut up!!" Anke put down the knife and sensed the surroundings with domineering eyes.

Zoro watched her movements with a frown, but he didn't bother Anke, because he knew that Anke must have a way to know where Keya and the others are now, although he didn't know what method.

"Left! Keep up, Sauron!!" Anke opened his eyes and ran to the left quickly, and Sauron hurriedly followed Usopp, who was rolling his eyes behind his back.

Of course, the small and exquisite Encore has no problem shuttling through the forest, but Sauron, who worked hard as a coolie, was constantly hit on the face and body by branches because of his height.Anke looked back at Sauron's distressed appearance, took Xue Lian and began to cut down too long branches, and opened a wider road.Looking at the small figure in front of him and the branches that fell from time to time, Sauron secretly thanked Anke for his thoughtfulness.

Anke stopped suddenly and raised a hand to signal Sauron to slow down too.

"What's the matter? Encore?" Sauron also stopped and asked suspiciously.

"It's here, look!" Anke raised his eyebrows, pointing forward with Xue Lian, "But it seems that the situation is not very good, Sauron, you go."

Zoro looked over and found that Miss Keya was being pinned against a tree by Zang Gao with one hand, while the other hand was still spinning a round knife.Zoro quickly threw Usopp down, held the handle of the knife with his right hand and ran out, and shouted: "That's it, hypnotist!!!"

Usopp woke up from the pain after being thrown, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Kaya being held hostage, screaming.

Anke silently covered her head and thought: "Is there a need for such a handsome appearance? That lady died before she ran such a long distance..." He sighed helplessly, and opened the transparent crystal to protect Ke Ya's surroundings. .

Sure enough, seeing Sauron rushing over, Zangao sneered and said, "Go to hell!! Miss!!" Then he raised the round knife and slashed at Keya's neck, but at this time the child under him Attack Zango with a shovel, "Don't even think about it!!".

"Wow!!! It hurts!! Kid!!!" Zangao stopped, kicked the three children flying, and continued to attack Keya. "It's too late, bellyband brat!!" Zangao shouted, Sauron suddenly drew his knife and cut off a branch beside him, Zangao hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stop his action.

The branch blocked Usopp's view, and he couldn't see that the blade was about to hit Kaya. "The branches are blocking me!" Usopp held the slingshot and said with a smile: "Kill-Gunpowder Star!!"

Zango's blade had already slashed to the pale-faced Kaya, but it was blocked by Encore's transparent crystal. Zango watched in surprise as his blade was bounced back, and in the next second he was given back by Usopp's gunpowder star. Hit, fell down.

Sauron withdrew the knife, looked back at Encore and said, "Did you do it?"

Anke smiled mischievously and said, "Of course, don't forget that I am also a Devil Fruit user."

Sauron looked at Usopp and the others, and said, "It seems that they have a lot to say, let's go to Luffy first."

Encore looked at them and nodded in agreement: "Really, let's go first, I'm a little worried about Luffy..."

After walking a few steps, Anke suddenly stopped. Sauron, who was walking in front, noticed it and stopped. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Anke?"

Anke took a breath, stretched out his hand towards Sauron who was n times taller than himself, and said, "I'm too lazy to go, hug me..."

The corner of Sauron's mouth twitched, he walked back helplessly, squatted down and picked up Anke, and said as he walked, "Why don't you go by yourself!!"

"I can't help it, who told you to go too fast one by two, this is called making the best use of everything..."

"Hey... is this what the deputy captain should say..."

"Okay, shut up and run quickly!! Luffy is still waiting for us..."
