One Piece Codex

South China Sea.

A luxury passenger ship sailed on the sparkling sea. Seagulls circled in the sky. Dolphins jumped out and plunged into the sea one after another, splashing white waves.

Levi leaned against the boat railing comfortably, enjoying the beautiful scenery of water and sky.

This is the first time I went to sea in 15 years. I have to say that there is a big difference between looking from the island and being in the middle of the sea.

The slightly drunken sea breeze caused the brim of the hat to sway slightly, brushing against the cheeks as smooth and soft as silk, and the faint fishy and salty smell made people intoxicated.

On the white wooden deck, men and women danced hand in hand to melodious and cheerful music, making it very lively.

"Sir, would you like a glass of rum?"

A waiter wearing a tuxedo and holding a wine tray stepped forward and said politely.

"Oh, of course, who can resist the aroma of rum?"

Levi smiled and took the seven-percent-full goblet and stuffed an extra tip into the waiter's breast pocket.

"If possible, I'd like to buy the guest sitting at table 4 over there a drink, thank you."

The waiter looked in the direction Levi was pointing. Sitting at the inconspicuous table No. 4 was a man in a cloak, drinking hot tea and admiring the sea view.

"Okay, sir."

It has been more than a month since he left Lulu Tower. Levi passed through several villages, towns and islands with pleasant scenery. There were no accidents along the way, but he didn't encounter anything particularly interesting, so it was a little dull.But when he first boarded the ship a few days ago, his attention was attracted by the mysterious man in a cloak.

Not only was the skin of the cloaked man under the cloak a reddish color that he had never seen before, but he also easily helped a lady out of trouble last night. The most important thing was that in terms of color perception, this man's aura was very strong.

Ordinary strong aura is not enough to attract Levi's attention, but this man's aura is not inferior to Mades at all, and is even slightly better than that.This had to attract special attention from Levi.

The waiter walked to table 4, bowed and placed the rum on the table.

"Hello guest, this is the invitation from that gentleman."

Fisher Tiger raised his eyebrows, looked at the railing where Levi was, and saw a young man smiling and raising his glass to him, "cheers{translation: cheers}"

[Hahaha, a human gentleman who is not stingy. 】

Tiger's beard grinned widely, revealing his sharp white teeth. He also made a toast gesture and drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking the wine, the two of them smiled knowingly across the deck.

However, at this moment, the siren on the ship suddenly sounded.

The music stopped suddenly, and people stopped dancing and looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

The crew member at the mast observation deck put down his telescope. The black skull and crossbones flag he just glimpsed was definitely not an illusion. He hurriedly climbed down the mast.

"Pirates! There are pirates! The pirates are coming!"

"What? The pirates are coming?!" People suddenly became frightened and became confused.

In the cockpit, the helmsman quickly turned the rudder and tried to turn the ship's bow.Several crew members ran to the deck carrying swords, guns and clubs and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Come here and get your self-defense weapons!"

Passenger ships do not need to reserve more storage space than merchant ships, so they can be equipped with some weapons just in case. This passenger ship is equipped with two cannons on each side of the hull.

People received the weapons one after another with uneasy expressions.It's okay if you encounter pirates who only steal money, but if you encounter pirates who brutally kill, you can only pick up weapons and fight.

Tiger was still drinking black tea calmly, and Levi was looking at the pirate ship approaching rapidly in the distance without moving.

The passenger ship sailed a bit slower than the pirate ship, and it was only a matter of time before it was caught up.

"Bang!~"

"Bang! Bang!~"

The cannonballs blasted up sheets of water, and the pirate ship on the opposite side shook for a while, but it didn't cause any damage.After a round of shelling failed, the huge pirate ship was approaching.

The huge pirate ship was almost twice the size of the passenger ship. The shadow covered half of the deck. The gunner of the passenger ship couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked up at the skull flag.

"The Iron Ax Pirates!...It's the Iron Ax Pirates!"

Someone in the crowd trembled and said: "I, we are finished, their captain is that Figor, the 2000 million pirate who kills without blinking an eye!"

People were even more panicked. They were just ordinary people, how could they compete with these fierce pirates.

"Hey! Look, there's a navy warship over there!"

A naval warship slowly sailed out from the distant reef.

By coincidence, the pirates and the navy appeared at the same time, just like a mouse meets a cat just after it comes out of its hole to look for food.People seemed to have a reassurance in their hearts that as long as they could wait for the navy to support them, they might still be rescued.

At the same time, the Navy warship.

"Report to the colonel! A pirate ship has been spotted ahead!"

The thin monkey colonel lying on the sun lounger put down his orange juice and scratched his beard.

"Did you see clearly? What kind of pirate group is this?"

"It's the Iron Ax Pirates."

"Figol?" Thin Monkey rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, pretend you didn't see it."

"But Colonel, they are attacking the passenger ship."

"Huh?" Shouhou glared at the reporting sailor, "Why, a third-class private still wants to disobey me, Colonel Shouhou?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead, "Yes, yes, Colonel!"

The thin monkey nodded with satisfaction, picked up the drink and took a sip.

"Quick! Target the Rainbow Kingdom and move forward at full speed."

"Yes."

Pirate ship bow.

Seeing that the navy did not stop, Figor, who was full of anger, snorted disdainfully, and then looked at the passenger ship with eyes that were as excited as seeing prey.

He couldn't wait to raise his double axe.

"Boys, the trash navy has escaped. As per the old rules, the women stay and all the men are killed!"

As soon as the order was given, the pirates grabbed the ropes one by one as if they were drunk, and screamed and swung from the mast to the deck of the passenger ship with their weapons.

"Ah haha! Kill them all!"

"Brothers, after making this money, you can live happily for another half a year!"

The crew on the passenger ship quickly fought against the pirates, but they could not withstand the large number of pirates. Many guests were also involved in the battle, and the sounds of fighting were mixed with the screams of women.

A blind pirate came towards Levi with a scimitar.

Levi easily dodged the chop by turning sideways and pressed his fingers against the pirate's head.

Sixth style - finger gun!

A wave of air spurted out from his fingertips, and the powerful energy penetrated directly into the pirate's head, blowing up the hair on the back of his head.The pirate's eyes turned white and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Opposite Tiger, who had just easily subdued a pirate, happened to see Levi's method, and his pupils shrank slightly.

[Turns out he is a master, it seems he doesn’t need my help. 】

"Uh hahaha! Fat sheep, suffer death!"

Levi and Tiger looked into the air and saw Figor's tall body falling from the sky.

"Boom! Crack."

The strong body directly stepped out of the hole in the wooden deck, causing sawdust to rise. Figor shook his head and looked down at the mother who was protecting the baby in front of him with a bloodthirsty smile.

"Nice expression."

Slowly raising the two axes, Figor licked his incomplete yellow teeth.

"Then, let's operate on your mother and daughter!"

The ax, glowing with cold light, fell heavily, just a punch away from the woman's hair.

"boom!"

A shot went off.

"Qiang~"

The bullet struck the axe.

The ax blade missed the woman and shattered the wooden floor.
