Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 54 Sharp eyes are not the reason why you can shoot me

It's not that far from Magic Valley Town to Alabasta, and Vlad and his gang were very fast, so it only took half a day to arrive at the Rapeseed Port in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Because of his encounter in the Windless Zone, Vlad developed a method of driving ships unique to the Dark Fruit.

Along the way, Vlad condensed a black vortex in front of the sailboat, releasing a strong gravity that pulled the sailboat speeding across the sea.

In fact, it only takes an hour or two to reach Alabasta, but if the gravity is too strong, each trunk of the sailboat will scream, and Vlad has to reduce his strength to prevent the sailboat from falling apart.

As the ship slowly sailed into the port, Vlad saw many guys with tattoos of skulls with wings and two crossed swords on their arms or necks staring at them on the neighboring ships.

The look in their eyes was similar, ready to move but with a hint of fear.

Vlad recognized them. These guys were all billionaires from the Barok Company under Shah Crocodile. Apart from occasionally appearing as pirates and robbing merchant ships, these guys basically worked as bounty hunters.

As the King of the Shichibukai, Crocodile's work of destroying the new pirates was basically completed by them, and their efficiency was quite high, which satisfied the World Government and the Navy.

After raising his head and glancing at the pirate flag hanging on the mast of his new car, Vlad roughly understood why they had such complicated looks.

Bellamy didn't have his own flag, the one hanging on the ship was Donquixote Doflamingo's pirate flag, and these guys naturally recognized it.

As Crocodile's younger brother, Baroque Co., Ltd. is used to being arrogant in the waters around Alabasta, which leads them to start making moves when they see pirates.

But Donquixote Doflamingo, as one of the Seven Warlords under the King, was still very scary in the first half of the Grand Line, and naturally made them feel afraid.

"Fufofuf~"

Vlad imitated Doflamingo and smiled, glaring at them with a sinister look on his face and said.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs!"

The billions of elders clenched their fists, but had to lower their heads in humiliation. The more arrogant the other party was, the more confident they were.

Vlad nodded with satisfaction at their performance and said contemptuously: "Where is your boss? Our young master Doflamingo needs to talk to him about something."

However, the answer to him was...

boom!

A bullet was shot between Vlad's eyebrows.

Vlad turned his head to avoid the bullet, looking a little confused. Are these guys so capricious?

"Look, that's 'Fallen Marine' Statham, these are not Doflamingo's men!"

One of the billionaires held a gun in one hand and pointed at Statham who had just brought water out of the storage room with the other hand, and shouted to his companions.

"As expected of a bounty hunter, his eyes are very good!"

Vlad had to admire this guy's sharp eyes. Even the pirates in Demon Valley Town didn't recognize the bald Statham without his military cap, but he actually recognized him.

boom!

Vlad's backhand was a shot. The bullet shot through the sharp-eyed billionaire's eyes and flipped his head open, just like a bursting watermelon.

"Having sharp eyes is not the reason why you can shoot me!"

The sound of gunfire was like a signal, and Ozma and the others took action to prevent the other party from firing cannonballs into their new car.

For a moment, gunfire erupted in the Rapeseed Port, and all kinds of chops flew randomly, mixed with the screams and wails of hundreds of millions of elders.

In the first half of the Grand Line and even all over the world, there are bosses like Rayleigh who enjoy their old age, but usually when guys from the New World come to these places, it is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

This was not a battle, just a one-sided massacre.

In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand billionaires on five large ships were all killed...

"Hey! Wait!" Paine stopped Vlad and others who were about to leave, "There are still trophies to collect!"

"You go and collect it. It's all yours. Let's go to the rapeseed flower market first."

"Great!"

"..."

Next came free time. When entering the desert, they needed to put on a cloak to prevent getting sunburned. They were not prepared in advance and needed to go to the market to buy some.

After Vlad gave each person 100 million beli, he sent them to buy what they needed. If the money was not enough...

Figure it out!

"What? Fifty thousand beli for one apple?!"

The pseudo-Devil Fruit (real apple) given to them by the Warring States Period was quite sweet to Marcus and Statham, so Vlad wanted to buy a few to try while he was shopping.

The owner of the fruit shop rubbed his hands and said seriously: "This guest, these fruits are all shipped by sea. The freight, protection fees, taxes and other miscellaneous things add up to a lot of money."

"A lot of money?"

Vlad picked up an apple with a little sand on the surface and looked confused.

"How much is that?"

The boss smiled and replied: "It's just a lot of money!"

"Okay, give me ten watermelons."

"Thank you for taking care of me, a total of 500 million Baileys."

"..."

Finally, Vlad took the watermelon and left cursing.

The money must have been paid. Even if he is a black businessman, he is still a civilian. He will not do things like robbing civilians.

"Just wait, I will monopolize all the land-rich islands around Alabasta when I get the chance, and then I will sell you these fruits at double the price!"

Only magic can defeat magic, so Vlad decided to turn into a capitalist to squeeze the black businessmen.

At the same time, the port

"Straw Hat, you can't run away!"

Smoker, who arrived in Alabasta in advance with the intention of waiting, heard the movement at the port and led his troops to check, and happened to see Luffy, whom he had longed for.

Instead of sneaking up on the Straw Hats before they noticed them, they shouted loudly from afar.

Luffy and others were leisurely watching Nami quarreling with a big penguin, but this roar almost scared them out of their wits.

"I have seen these baileys. According to the rules of the sea, whoever sees them has a share in understanding!"

"Little girl, although you have a good figure and a good foundation, you are too young. Uncle Paine will not give you Bailey for this. Let's wait two years before we talk!"

"Nami, run!"

Luffy grabbed Nami's wrist and ran away in the opposite direction to Smoker.

The group of people were running, and Zoro, who was following the group at the end, suddenly turned around and got into an inconspicuous alley.

The elements of Smoker's lower body turned into smoke, making him float in the air, and sprayed out white air waves that made him chase the Straw Hats quickly, but when he passed by Paine, he took a second look.

"Why does it look familiar? Did you see it on the reward notice?"

Paine didn't know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and said hello: "Hello!"
