One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 85: Death of Altai [First Order]

"Damn navy, you dare to bombard me, haha, now you know which side is more powerful!"

A bald man wearing a captain's hat laughed grimly and looked up at the execution platform with eyes full of reverence:
"Even the Vice Admiral of the Navy can't beat you. Hey! Boss Shanuo, accept us in, and we'll follow you from now on!"

This voice instantly aroused the pirates' enthusiasm, and more voices echoed one after another.

"That's right! With you leading the way, who can stop us in the entire East China Sea? It's all ours!"

"You're so tactless. What's the point of the East China Sea? You should just follow Boss Shanuo and rob the entire Grand Line together!"

"What are you waiting for, brothers! With the support of the Shanuo family, this town's navy is nothing! Let's rob this broken town first!"

"Loot all of Rogue Town! Kill all the navy that dares to stand in our way! Give all the treasures to Captain Shano, kill them!!"

At the edge of the square, many pirates laughed wildly and excitedly knocked open the broken doors of the remaining shops. The screams of women and the crying of children could be heard from inside.

How could this be?
The residents of Rogue Town were suddenly thrown into panic.

Wasn't that lord named Xia Nuo famous throughout the East China Sea for his series of actions of punishing evil and promoting good?

How come he has become a vicious pirate now!
--boom!

The commotion had just broken out for a few seconds when two crescent-shaped dark blue air waves swept down from the execution platform one after another. Dozens of pirates were immediately blown away like bowling pins, screaming miserably.

The few unlucky guys who were hit head-on by the sharp blade of Lanjiao were cut in half on the spot, and blood mist flew everywhere.

The deterrent effect of this attack is undoubtedly significant.

The pirates who had already broken into the house were suddenly covered in cold sweats. They dared not move any further and cautiously retreated back to the square, looking up blankly at the execution platform.

"Boss Xia Nuo..."

The pirate captain who had spoken first chuckled, "We wanted to give you the entire town as a gift for joining us. What do you mean by that?"

"I asked, did you make a mistake?"

Shanuo retracted his right leg and looked down coldly at the pirates below:

"Before you arbitrarily lump me in with the same kind, you seem to have forgotten why I became famous in the East China Sea back then."

"After all, the number of marines I've killed so far seems to be only one... no, two, but the number of pirates who have died at my hands is a thousand times that number."

What does this mean?

The pirates looked at each other, realizing something at the same time. Their originally excited and enthusiastic emotions suddenly turned cold as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them...

…………

On the warship.

Smoker lay weakly against the wall, staring drowsily into the distance in the rain.

He hadn't fully woken up yet and his mind was still a little confused.

I only remember that after fighting with Ghost Spider, I was knocked unconscious in a few moves. Later, when I opened my eyes hazily, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be two more figures on the towering execution platform in the distance.

One of the figures was pressed to the ground, and after struggling for a while, he soon fell silent.

That silhouette...

Looks like a ghost spider?

Ghost Spider is dead?
How could that be possible… Smoker shook his head in self-mockery. Did he really hate him so much, did he wish he was dead? There was no one in Rogue Town who could defeat him. It was probably an illusion.

Smoker struggled to grab the railing and just as he stood up, he heard a hoarse scream from not far away:
"Come on, are you all deaf? I told you to escort me away quickly, can't you hear me?"

This voice sounded so familiar... He looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, it was Altai, who was as fat as a pig, madly hitting the head of a lieutenant colonel in front of him with his golden scepter.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. Now is not the time yet."

The lanky colonel's head was bruised and bloody, but he didn't dare move. "We still have many people on the island, evacuating here. The enemy doesn't seem to have any plans to pursue us. We have to wait until our comrades... especially the major generals in charge of the command, get on board before we can leave. Otherwise, I will definitely be held accountable by the headquarters..."

"Wait a minute!"

Altai's expression suddenly turned ferocious. "So it's for such a ridiculous reason. What's there to wait for, a bunch of untouchables?"

"Don't forget, your first priority is to escort me back home safely! If you stay here any longer, you'll be buried with that useless Ghost Spider!!!"

Bang bang!

He pulled out a gold-plated pistol from somewhere, pulled the trigger, and fired randomly in all directions. Immediately, several navy soldiers fell to the ground, holding their chests.

"See?! Take the boat and leave immediately!"

Altai pointed his gun at the lieutenant colonel again and shouted angrily, "Wait one more second, and I'll kill one more person, starting with you! Let's see if you dare..."

Boom!
With a muffled sound, Altai suddenly rolled his eyes and fell forward.

The tall, thin colonel, whose head was broken and bleeding, stared in amazement at the figure that appeared behind Altai: "Colonel S... Colonel Smoker, what are you doing?"

"It's been screaming like a ghost, it's killing me, you fat pig..."

Smoker muttered as if he hadn't heard anything, raising his hands high in the seastone handcuffs. "How on earth could I have tolerated such bastards before..."

Boom!
He clenched his fists and suddenly hit Altai's head again, again and again.

Seeing that half of Altai's head was sunken, he still felt unsatisfied and grabbed the golden scepter on the ground and stabbed it with all his strength.

puff!

A large amount of blood spurted out, splashing all over the faces of the two men. Smoker then threw the scepter aside, gasping for breath, and showed a relieved expression that had not been seen for a long time.

"you……"

The tall and thin colonel touched the warm blood on his face with trembling hands. He could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and suddenly screamed loudly.

What are you arguing about?

Smoker glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Hey, tell me, what's going on in Rogue Town now?"

How come the message from the previous conversation suggests that the navy has been defeated and fled? Could it be that what I had vaguely seen before wasn't just an illusion?
"what's the situation?!!"

The tall and thin colonel took several steps back in fear, pointing his finger at Smoker. "You, you bastard! How dare you ask what's going on? You're the one who caused this terrible disaster, don't you know? Are you trying to implicate us all?!"

Don't want to answer?
Smoker sighed and didn't bother to pay any more attention.

He grabbed the railing along the way and limped onto the dock, walking towards the square in the opposite direction of the sailors who were retreating to the shore in panic.

What on earth happened at the execution platform...
