Chapter 48: Fishman Cadre

Kokoa West Village, on the shore.

The patrol ship slowly stopped, and Coles led fifty navy soldiers up and down.

The inspection mission this time was to find the corrupt navy of the 16th branch that colluded with pirates.

And there is no doubt that the biggest corrupt navy is Colonel Mouse!

But even if he knew.

Coles couldn't just go and arrest him.

Because without evidence, Colonel Mouse could completely deny it.

So, Coles didn't take the patrol ship to the 16th Navy Branch first, but came to Kokoa West Village to investigate first.

To the east of Kokoa West Village is Along Paradise. As long as the evidence of the other party's collusion with pirates is confirmed.

Then Colonel Mouse can't run away!

...

The sun is high in the sky.

The weather is very hot, but the atmosphere in Kokoa West Village is very cold now.

There is no other reason, just because a dozen fishmen are standing in the square in the center of the village.

The village of Kokoyasi used to be a peaceful village, where the villagers lived an ordinary and happy life every day, but everything changed after the arrival of the Arlong Pirates five years ago.

This group of powerful fishmen charged the villagers a fee on the pretext of building an empire. If they did not comply, the entire village would be destroyed. Sacrifices and bloodshed never stopped from the beginning.

The villagers reported to the navy stationed nearby, but no navy came to attack the Arlong Pirates.

Over time, the villagers also knew that the navy nearby and the Arlong Pirates were birds of a feather, and begging the navy to come to rescue was simply wishful thinking.

Under the rule of the Arlong Pirates, the villagers gradually dared not resist, but the high monthly protection fee still made it difficult for the villagers to move forward.

Finally.

Not long ago, someone bypassed this branch and delivered news to the rest of the naval bases.

But this matter.

Now it has also been known by the Arlong Pirates.

Bang!

The huge parasol in the center of the village fell down with a thump.

A sturdy blue fishman grabbed a middle-aged man's neck with his right hand and lifted him up easily.

The strength of fishmen is naturally ten times that of humans, so these ordinary villagers have no way to resist.

"Jiu, didn't you hear what Chief Along said before? Whoever dares to report what happened here will die!"

The middle-aged man caught by the fishman was wearing a brown sheriff's uniform, with knife wounds all over his face, looking very pitiful.

He is Kensaku, the village policeman of Cocoyasi Village.

The fishman who grabbed Kensaku's neck with his hand is a cadre of the Along Pirates, named "Jiu", with very prominent lips, looking like a teppan fish.

Kensaku's neck was getting redder and redder from being pinched by Jiu, and he was almost out of breath. Finally, the fishman cadre Jiu threw Kensaku to the ground fiercely.

At this time, many villagers had gathered around. After seeing this scene, the villagers couldn't help but look terrified and made various exclamations.

"Mr. Jiansaku, how are you?"

"Are you okay?"

Jiansaku waved his hand, signaling everyone not to come over.

Because the fishman cadre Jiu had already taken out a brown flintlock.

"Tell me, who reported it?"

"You kill me, I won't answer." Jiansaku answered firmly.

He is the village police of Kokoyasi, and naturally he will not betray anyone in the village.

"Jiu, then you go to hell!"

The fishman cadre Jiu slowly opened the safety of the flintlock in his hand, and aimed the black muzzle at Jiansaku's head.

The atmosphere in the field fell into silence!

Although the villagers present were angry, they were helpless, because they were all ordinary people and could not help Jiansaku at all.

Just this one fishman cadre can easily deal with more than a dozen ordinary villagers, not to mention that Jiu also led more than a dozen fishman men to come together.

Compared with the fishman.

The villagers were the lambs to be slaughtered.

At the critical moment, a 17-year-old girl with blue hair stood in front of Kensaku with her hands across her body.

"I am the one reporting, if you want to kill me, kill me!"

"Nokigo, get out of the way!"

Kensaku saw the daughter of the acquaintance standing in front of him, and hurriedly shouted anxiously.

Nokigo turned her head and smiled: "Mr. Kensaku, you have always protected me before, now it's my turn to protect you!"

Kensaku wanted to get up.

But the body injured by Ju made him unable to stand up.

The fishman cadre Ju looked at Nokigo standing up, but his brows were furrowed.

Because this woman's sister Nami had already joined their Arlong Pirates as a cadre.

Arlong leader values ​​Nami's navigation skills very much, and obviously cannot kill Nokigo easily, otherwise Nami will definitely be upset...

"Jiu, you humans are really troublesome!"

Murphy cadre Jiu was very irritable, and directly pointed the flintlock rifle at a villager not far away, pulled the trigger in his hand, and the gunshot rang out.

Kensaku and Nokigo were shocked.

He looked over there in horror.

A villager was hit in the thigh, blood seeped out of it, and wailed continuously.

And the fishman cadre Jiu had already pointed the muzzle of the gun at the head of the injured villager, and said coldly.

"Jiu, I don't care who will take responsibility, but since you dare to resist our Arlong Pirates, someone must die. Unfortunately, I choose you."

"No!"

The wife of the injured villager begged for mercy, but it was useless. The villager's child wanted to stop him, but was kicked away by other fishmen.

"Okay, go to hell!"

The fishman cadre Ju slowly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire rang out in Kokoa West Village.

At the same time, a young voice reached everyone's ears.

"Enough is enough, fishman pirates!"

The fishman cadre Ju wailed, his wrist was hit, blood stained his arm, and the flintlock fell to the ground powerlessly.

The onlookers looked to the side in astonishment.

Not far away, a handsome young man in a navy coat was putting away the flintlock in his hand and came with a team of navy soldiers.

Navy?

The villagers looked puzzled, wondering why the navy, who had originally ignored this place, suddenly saved the villagers at this critical moment.

"Who are you?"

The fishman cadre Ju keenly discovered the difference between the navy in front of him. These navy soldiers did not seem to be from the 16th branch.

Coles led the navy soldiers to the open space in the center of the village. As he looked around, he could see the confusion and fear in the eyes of the villagers.

When did the navy also belong to the symbol of bad guys in the public's cognition?

Finally, Coles's eyes fell on the fishman cadre who was injured by him.

The long sword in his hand was unsheathed.

Silent slash!

The fishman cadre Chu and a dozen other fishman pirates were fatally wounded and died directly.

"We are the righteous navy of Rogue Town, and we are here to attack the Arlong Pirates."

The most powerful explanation is the fact!

As for the development of the original story, Coles was actually not very willing to change anything.

The Cocoa West Village here does not need him to take action. When Luffy goes out to sea a few years later, he will also defeat the Arlong Pirates and save the people who are oppressed by pirates here.

But when he saw the fishman cadre casually shooting the villagers and not caring about these lives at all.

Coles was angry.

Although he is not a selfless navy like Major Kahn, he is not a cold-blooded person who watches the people being killed by pirates and does nothing.

In this world, you can wait for Luffy to go to sea, and Nami can wait for the Straw Hats to save her.

But as a navy.

Coles can't wait, and the dying villager can't wait either!

Solve the Arlong Pirates.

It's urgent!

Because justice needs to be served!
