Besides, these are pirates, and they've gathered their forces to launch a fierce attack on the port town. They might even have a bounty on their heads. Wouldn't that be their first pot of gold?
Luo Zhen scanned the pirate ships and noticed that each ship had a different flag, indicating that these guys came from different groups.
The person in front of me is an ability user, but his strength is only so-so. There are probably even stronger individuals among them.
"A bounty hunter? Looks like a fool who can't see the situation clearly. He's launching a frontal attack against our massive offensive. Is he in such a hurry to die?"
The kobold sneered, which, combined with its swollen face, was somewhat comical.
"I'm too lazy to say it, you don't deserve to listen."
Luo Zhen raised his hand, and the ship's equipment unfolded, revealing the head of the electronic dragon, with white destructive light gathering in its mouth.
"Varied……"
Before the man could finish speaking, his body was engulfed by white light, leaving only his head on the ground. White smoke was rising from the cut, and not a drop of blood was left; it was completely charred.
"Shadow Ninja, it's time to get moving. Rescue or kill. Assign tasks properly, and leave the strongest one to me."
Luo Zhen entered battle mode, feeling very excited.
His shadow twisted, and a group of ninjas knelt beside him before moving away at high speed, doing as he instructed.
I have to say, these guys are really useful.
It is worth noting that, apart from the three ninjas with rather peculiar hairstyles, the other ninjas were merely aggregates of shadow power. Although they were called clones, they were more like remotely controlled puppets, completely lacking self-awareness.
Although they were still women, they were all wrapped up so tightly that nothing could be seen at all.
Most importantly, these guys are "ninjas," and they possess shadow powers, making them incredibly elusive.
Luo Zhen ordered them to rescue and kill people, and they immediately accepted the order.
"Killing the pirates is saving lives."
With each swift movement, long-range darts and close-range short swords were unleashed, and these lowly pirates died without even realizing it.
Even the victims were bewildered; they thought they were going to die, but when they opened their eyes, they saw the pirates lying helplessly on the ground.
They couldn't even see a ninja.
Only one of the navy's top experts witnessed all of this.
"Who are these guys? Never mind, thanks to them, the tide of battle has turned. Let's organize a counterattack immediately!"
The naval girl shouted, "I won't leave all the battle matters to others!"
Luo Zhen is searching for the strongest member of the pirate alliance, but along the way, he will also kill those who stand in his way.
Compared to those elusive ninjas, Ryougi Shirou is far more terrifying.
A long steel dragon surrounded him, and he gripped a longsword tightly in his hand, sometimes firing long-range cannon fire, sometimes slashing at breakneck speed.
Several powerful captains launched an attack, but were naturally killed instantly.
Even if pirates see him and hide in fear, they will still be dragged out and executed.
After all, with the voice of Heart Steel ringing out, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to stack layers, nor did he want to let these pirates go.
When watching the One Piece anime, he felt that Luffy and his crew were quite fun. He envied the feeling of a group of people coming together for their dreams and having a close bond with each other.
The main characters are actually more like an "adventure group," but the truth is that most pirates are just a bunch of bastards who burn, kill, and plunder, and even the main characters have some flaws.
Luo Zhen would show no mercy to these guys; he would kill them if necessary.
"The shadow ninja killed these pirates and was able to extract strange power from them to strengthen himself."
After killing the villains, the ninjas absorbed a wisp of black energy that had been emanating from them, which slightly increased their strength.
"Another reason to kill pirates."
Luo Zhen stopped in his tracks because he had already spotted the strongest enemy among them.
"I hope you can add a few more layers of steel for me."
Luo Zhen put away the long steel dragon, but tightly gripped the enterprise's sword that could destroy the nation.
The newcomer was a swordsman wearing a captain's hat, whose aura was like a drawn blade. He drew his weapon and assumed a fighting stance.
"Leave this guy to me, you guys start retreating immediately."
The captain in front of him was somewhat sensible; he had already realized that something was wrong with the battle situation. The front line could not be advanced any further, the number of dead was increasing, and the navy had begun to counterattack. Retreating now would definitely be the best option.
This is typical of pirates: loot a bunch of things and then run away.
"Hmph, want to run away?"
Luo Zhen raised his hand, summoning his carrier-based aircraft, and projected more aircraft at the same time.
He controlled the planes to fly towards the other side of the sea, and to attack the pirate ships directly.
"You guy!"
The captain was enraged and leaped at Luo Zhen, slashing wildly, sparks flying instantly.
"So weak."
Luo Zhen felt very disappointed as he sensed the power being transmitted from the other party.
What else? From a corporation to a unicorn, he embodies several of the essences of a ship girl.
He became a being similar to a ship girl, a humanoid ship; in a word, this is the "power of five ships".
Upon closer examination, there are different types, including aircraft carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers.
Luo Zhen didn't understand swordsmanship, but his stats alone were enough to overwhelm the "weak" swordsman before him. Mei didn't think about it...
With just a light punch, the opponent was sent flying.
However, people in the pirate world are all very thick-skinned, so this guy was still able to stand up.
He launched another attack, which Luo Zhen easily parried. Seeing Luo Zhen being passively attacked, the opponent became even more excited, thinking that he still had a chance to win.
"I'm waiting for the CD."
The voice of Heart Steel rang out again. Luo Zhen finished charging up and delivered another powerful punch. This time, the opponent was killed instantly.
"You bastard, you have such a fine sword, why do you fight with your fists?"
A sound came from the air, and the naval girl landed in front of Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen looked her over for a while. He didn't remember many female naval soldiers, but the person in front of him was a stranger, someone outside the main storyline.
Chapter 48. What to do? Only kill.
The Enterprise-Destroying Sword is indeed a divine weapon. This naval girl also seems to be a swordsman, so she doesn't understand Luo Zhen's fighting logic.
Why fight with your fists when you're holding a sword?
"You ask why? I'm looking for the reason too."
It was probably because that guy was instantly killed with a single sword strike; it was both a divine sword and berserk power, which the man simply couldn't withstand.
But if he uses his fists, he can stand up, so... this is for the number of layers of Heart Steel.
If the enemy is strong, Luo Zhen will fight with all his might, but if the enemy's strength is obvious, he will consider other things.
"What a strange guy, but anyway, thanks to your help, things didn't get to the worst possible situation."
"The people of the city are grateful."
The female naval swordswoman bowed deeply to Luo Zhen.
"I was just passing by. I killed pirates for the bounty, and rescuing people was just something I did on the side."
Luo Zhen explained with a calm expression.
He picked up the dead pirate's weapon, a samurai sword in good condition, and tried to activate the power of the God's Left Hand.
He held the weapon in his hand, and it moved without any sense of stagnation.
Gandalf, the Left Hand of God, possesses the ability to skillfully wield various weapons. However, the question remains: what level of skill does this "proficiency" truly represent?
Through the manipulation of mysterious energy, God's Left Hand underwent some changes.
When he grasps a weapon, he can absorb the remaining "memories" on it. After a while, these memories become his, and he can improve his level through this absorption ability.
For example, after defeating a great swordsman in the world of One Piece and obtaining his weapon, he could master his swordsmanship by absorbing it.
Of course, absorption is one thing, digestion is another. If he really absorbed the swordsmanship of a great swordsman, digestion would probably take a lot of time, unless he actively speeds up the process during meditation training.
At the same time, this absorption ability is also limited; one must "defeat the opponent" to absorb it.
Otherwise, you could go straight to Shanks, have a few drinks with him, chat and become good friends, borrow his sword and touch it a couple of times, and then absorb his swordsmanship.
If that's the case, this ability is a bit too convenient.
"You'll get your reward, but it will probably take a while before the money is paid to you."
"After all, the world is in complete chaos now."
The naval officer sighed and showed a helpless expression.
Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes. This was a perfect opportunity to gather some information.
After all, the battle is over now, and the Navy has completely suppressed these pirates, so it's fine to chat a bit.
Luo Zhen then subtly inquired about some key questions.
The Marineford War ended, and Whitebeard's last words stirred up the era once again.
"The Great Treasure is real."
By a twist of fate, Bucky the Joker was live-streaming the entire event, and his words spread all over the world.
The era of One Piece has passed, the era of Whitebeard has passed, and on the seas, even more pirates have appeared.
Alabasta is a vast country with a formidable military, but the royal family is exhausted by the continuous pirate attacks. Therefore, they applied to the World Government to borrow some naval forces to help with defense.
So this naval officer came here. Because it was a special dispatch, the manpower was not enough, and it was sent over urgently. The funds were also very limited.
"The navy is very busy and funds are tight, so the bounty will have to be put on hold for a while."
"But you'll definitely be included. If you're really in a hurry, I can help you talk to the Alabasta royal family."
She explained, looking somewhat embarrassed, since the navy couldn't afford it, making the situation difficult to back down.
"It would be best if it could be done quickly, I really need the money."
According to Luo Zhen's plan, he needs to develop related forces, which naturally requires start-up capital. Then, he can make money from money, and even the exchange of resources can proceed smoothly.
"It's alright, I'll go talk to that princess and have them pay first. I'll pay them back when the navy's money arrives."
She nodded. After all, the person in front of her had indeed provided assistance and was quite capable, so she hoped to cultivate a good relationship with him.
There are many pirates, so it would be a good thing if this bounty hunter could share some of the pressure.
"This place is a complete mess. That princess will definitely come in person. Sigh."
She sighed, her expression becoming even more distressed.
"With the navy stationed here, yet still getting beaten up like this by pirates, they really can't escape blame." Mei didn't think of that in the air... Mei didn't think of that...
Looking at the innocent people whose faces were filled with despair, all she could do was sigh.
Luo Zhen stroked his chin. Although he arrived just in time, the pirates' actions still caused a lot of damage.
Some soldiers were cleaning up the mess and had to dispose of the bodies, otherwise a plague would follow.
Cries and screams could be heard everywhere. Even when pirates died, their bodies were still hung up and whipped as a form of revenge.
This place was like a living hell, and Luo Zhen felt a wave of sadness wash over him.
"Yes, if you need any help, just ask. As long as you're willing to pay, I can handle most things."
Luo Zhen said that he could provide help, but he needed something in return; it was like making a deal.
He had not forgotten why he came into this world.
To this world, he was merely a passerby; his roots remained in the other port area.
The collection of supplies must be expedited.
"Even if you say that, I was only temporarily dispatched here. Perhaps you could speak with that princess?"
The naval officer was quite helpless and simply spread her hands.
