Chapter Twenty-Five: On the Average IQ of the Pirate World
"I'm so hungry! The amount of physical energy consumed to activate the Devil Fruit was really too much, but fortunately, it was finally a success. That sister was wearing the most expensive children's clothes, and she should have no less money on her, and she might be able to save almost enough money to leave the country. After hiding in a corner, a delicate and immature face appeared under the dirty clothes, and after looking around to make sure that there were no outsiders, he took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom.
"One million Baileys, two million Baileys, three million ......" Her right hand counting the bill quickly froze in the air, muttering to herself, "Wait, something doesn't seem right with this unit!"
After rubbing his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, the little beggar gasped and said, "The smallest face value is 100,000 Bailey, does her family run a mine?"
"Oops, I knew it was like this, I would have stolen one, and now that they have lost so much money, they will not give up." The little beggar said with an embarrassed face, "The most important thing is, where can I go to fill my stomach with such a large denomination of banknotes?" ”
……
Just as Longinus sighed at the true face of Tina's little rich woman, a group of stupid and cute men in black clothes and black pants and black hoods in broad daylight, as if they were worried that others would not know that they were bad people, jumped out of the streets and alleys, startling the surrounding vendors and guests who came to participate in the food festival to flee in all directions.
"Captain Keinh, that little girl is gone again, what should we do now?" A man in black asked unwillingly.
"What to do? What to do? The man in black, who was obviously the first size bigger, slapped his head hard and scolded, "Of course she continues to chase me, she was originally our most precious commodity, and now she has stolen the captain's devil fruit, if you don't catch her and sell her for a high price, when the captain comes back, she will definitely skin us!" ”
"That's right! It's a more precious commodity than the Giants and the Merfolk, and many of the great men of the Underworld want to get her hands on her, and if she is lost from us, the captain will kill us with the most cruel punishment. The men in black were terrified in their words, apparently selling them all for less than the little beggar.
Suddenly, a man in black finally noticed the presence of Longinus and Tina, and leaned into their captain's ear and whispered, "Captain, it's the navy!" Do you want to be that little ghost? ”
The black-clothed man who looked like a captain glanced at Longinus jealously, waved his hand and said: "Don't make any extraneous branches, that guy is dressed in a justice coat and civilian clothes, which is only allowed by a general-level officer, although I don't know how that little ghost did it, but it's better not to introduce the navy into the field now."
After the group of men in black walked away, Tina looked refreshed and said speechlessly: "Are those pirates idiots?" They didn't lower their voices at all, could it be that they deliberately said it to us, in order to seduce you, Brother Longinus? ”
Seeing that Tina was startled and worried that those pirates had set a trap, Longinus comforted: "Don't get me wrong, this is the average IQ of those pirates, just get used to it in the future."
"However, they don't seem to be ordinary pirates, but pirates under the banner of slave owners who trade in human beings." Longinus's face remained unchanged, but the killing intent in his heart was already brewing.
"Damn, is it the most disgusting pirate?"
Tina's delicate little face showed a look of disgust, obviously disgusted by those pirates.
But Tina didn't want to influence Longinus's judgment because of her position, she knew very well that the kind of woman who liked to point fingers at everything was very unlikable, and she didn't want to be disgusted by Longinus, even if it was just a hint of potential.
"Brother Longinus, what should we do now?"
"As a navy, it is naturally impossible for me to ignore this kind of criminal act!" Longinus said categorically, thinking in his heart, "That flash of Devil Fruit fluctuation is ......"
"I knew that Big Brother Longinus would be a real hero!" Tina didn't say it, but secretly admired it in her heart, and then consciously proposed: "Tina's staying here will only hinder Brother Longinus's actions, why don't you let me go back and notify the navy and the kingdom army to come and support?"
"It's too late, and the presence of the navy and the kingdom's army will only force them to jump over the wall and capture the vendors and diners of the food festival as hostages, causing even more damage and damage." Longinus thought about it and rejected Tina's offer.
"The most important point is that this is a long way from the royal city, and now that there is turmoil, it is easy for you to fall into danger if you leave alone, but I promised Uncle Louis to ensure your safety, how could I leave you behind because I had to rescue others?"
Longinus shook his head hypocritically and laughed at himself, "It's a bit ridiculous to say, many people call me a hero, but when it comes to making a choice, I still can't let go of my friends because of some strangers, so I've always been just an ordinary person with some strength." ”
Therefore, little girls are easy to be moved.
The words that weren't too sensational in Longinus's eyes were won by Tina's tears, "Well, Tina won't drag down Brother Longinus!" ”
"Don't worry, those pirates are average, even if they want to protect you in battle, it's not a difficult task." Longinus was not pure comfort, and no matter how much a pirate of that quality came just now, he couldn't break through his defenses.
……
The venue that was originally used as a food competition was already very deserted, and only two black-clothed figures remained in the empty venue.
"How's it going, have you found that little girl?"
"No, ......no," the man in black replied timidly, "that little imp is so good at hiding that it's hard to find in a short time." ”
"Damn, those hound-like navies are expected to catch up soon with their smell, and we don't have much time." The leader of the man in black resolutely ordered, "Block all exits and tell everyone here that if they can't help me find that little ghost, I'll kill them together!" ”
"Let those people be our accomplices, boss, you are too smart, I will go and pass on the instructions." The short man in black gave a small pat on the back, and quickly turned around and walked out of the venue.
"Idiot, what is called an accomplice, it is obviously ...... It's ......" The man in black in the lead reacted, scolded and quickly got stuck, but he couldn't think of any words to replace.
Da-da-da-da!
Slight footsteps sounded, and the man in black frowned slightly and scolded angrily, "Why are you back again?" Don't you understand what I said before? ”
Seeing that the "subordinates" did not respond, the man in black turned around with a slight feeling of discomfort.
"Two fine goods!" The man in black first looked at the two people who appeared in front of him with professional eyes, and then suddenly woke up.
"No, it's obviously the footsteps of a person, why are there two people here?" In the slightly gloomy venue, the gloomy wind was blowing, and the man in black was dripping with terrifying sweat.
