A group of royal soldiers broke through the pirates' encirclement. There were about thirty of them. They wore unknown animal furs over their uniforms and were protecting a beautiful little girl as she fled.
The bearded captain of the guard, holding the little girl's hand, noticed tears welling in her eyes and her frequent glances back at the burning royal city. He couldn't help but whisper words of comfort:
"Your Highness, please do not worry. The Queen Mother has already contacted the naval fleet protecting the Heavenly Gold. This naval fleet has been escorting the Heavenly Gold away from the kingdom for less than two days. If we temporarily abandon the transport ship and rush back with all our might, we should be able to arrive by evening. I believe our country's soldiers will be able to hold out until then."
"Before that, Your Highness, please be on your guard!"
This captain of the guard probably didn't know what it meant to make a promise, but at least his small act of comfort stopped the little girl from crying.
The little girl raised her head, revealing a delicate, porcelain doll-like face with bright eyes and white teeth. Her lips were painted with heart-shaped lipstick, and her long, straight pink hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Underneath her oversized down jacket, she was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and denim overalls.
The pink, high-heeled boot suddenly lifted and stomped hard on the bearded captain's foot, as if stepping on pirates. The little girl's cuteness vanished, replaced by a fierce expression, and she cursed:
"Kid Pirates, Iron Hand Pirates, Steel Cannon Pirates, I'll remember these three pirate crews. Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely get my revenge!"
For a while, Shinobu thinks more and more angry, and takes a step back and thinks more and more losses.
Joelle Bonney took the chicken leg that the bearded captain of the guard kindly handed her, stuffed it into her mouth, and skillfully swallowed the chicken leg, skin and all, leaving only the slightly fragmented bone, which she tossed aside.
Every ocean in this world has its own unique characteristics.
The East China Sea is the weakest, the West China Sea is the strongest, the North China Sea has handsome men, and the South China Sea has skilled craftsmen.
If you look closely at a world map, you'll discover something very interesting.
The Grand Line and the Red Line divide the ocean into four parts: the Grand Line on the East China Sea and South China Sea side is known as the first half of paradise, while the Grand Line on the West China Sea and North China Sea side is known as the second half of the New World.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these unique geographical factors that the South China Sea and the East China Sea have become two unfortunate brothers, truly the worst performers.
There are basically no powerful pirates in the South China Sea. The region reveres machinery and violence, and many new types of firearms and artillery were developed here.
Jewelry Bonney's little brain simply couldn't understand why the Kid Pirates, the Iron Hand Pirates, and the Steel Cannon Pirates would inexplicably join forces to invade the Dasobel Kingdom.
The Iron Hand Pirates and the Steel Cannon Pirates are nothing special; they're just second-rate pirate crews, and none of them have a bounty exceeding 30 million Berries.
However, the Kid Pirates are notorious. Eustass Kid is only a teenager, but since his debut, he has earned a fearsome reputation by massacring civilians. Eustass Kid's bounty has also risen accordingly, now reaching 20 million Berries.
Generally speaking, pirates are a group of arrogant and unruly individuals who are proud of themselves. To unite them would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
This time, it seemed as if the three pirate crews had planned it all along. After the Navy fleet escorted the Celestial Gold of the Dasobel Kingdom away, they launched a surprise attack, catching the Dasobel Kingdom completely off guard.
Gunfire and artillery fire echoed throughout the city, interspersed with the desperate screams of women.
In this era where human life is cheap, women, who are often the weaker sex, tend to suffer more. What kind of fate awaits them when facing ruthless pirates seems to have been foreseen.
If these women were even slightly attractive, they would face an even more tragic fate. After becoming playthings for pirates, they would be sold to slave traders for a large sum of money.
Joelle Bonney lowered her head and clenched her fists.
As a princess of the Kingdom of Dasobel, hearing the helpless and painful cries of her subjects was like having a piece of her heart torn out.
Joelle Bonney abruptly stopped, a resolute glint in her eyes, and ran toward the direction from which the woman's scream had come.
Seeing this, the bearded captain of the guards panicked and quickly followed behind.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
"If I can't even protect my own people, then I'm not worthy of being called a princess!"
Jewelry Bonney and her group changed direction and walked about 150 meters forward when they saw a group of pirates robbing and looting.
The pirates, dressed in tattered and smelly cotton clothes and carrying clubs, smashed open the glass doors of shops along the way, picked out food such as canned pork, and wolfed it down on the spot. If they came across clothing stores or jewelry stores, they would plunder them extensively, wishing they could wear necklaces all around their necks and rings on all ten fingers.
A woman was dragged out of the house, and a pirate grinned maliciously:
"Hey kid, give us a good beating and let us have some fun!"
The pirates around her also joined in the commotion, staring at the woman with ill intent, as if she were a piece of fish on a chopping board.
When they heard footsteps coming from the side of the street, the group of pirates stopped what they were doing and looked toward the approaching figures.
Especially when they saw the sweet-looking little girl at the head of the group, their eyes lit up.
The well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving. This group of ordinary pirates belonging to the Iron Hand Pirates had been drifting on the sea for years. They had never even touched a woman's hand, let alone forgotten what a woman looked like. When they suddenly saw Jewelry Bonney, it was like a pack of hungry wolves seeing a fat sheep.
"Brothers, kill all these damn kingdom soldiers, snatch that little girl, and we'll have a blast tonight!"
The captain of the Iron Hand Pirates raised his arm and made a declaration in accordance with the will of the people, which immediately aroused enthusiastic response from the members of the pirate crew.
When the bearded captain of the guard saw more than two hundred pirates ahead, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
Now, hearing the pirates' arrogant declarations, even if the bearded captain of the guard wanted to stop Jewelry Bonney, it was already too late.
For most ordinary people, the guns and knives in their hands are their greatest weapons, which means that the number of people and the morale of the troops will largely determine the course of a war.
Although the kingdom's guards numbered around thirty, they lost nearly half of them in a single encounter when faced with a hail of bullets from over two hundred pirates. The remaining guards quickly took cover around corners to avoid being hit by stray bullets.
Jewelry Bonney pursed her lower lip and, using her agile movements, rolled and tumbled along the roadside cover, closing in on the pirate at the front.
The pirate looked down on Jewelry Bonney because she was young, but he never expected her to be so strong. A small fist slammed into the root of his troubles, instantly sending him flying and causing him excruciating pain.
Taking the flintlock pistol from the pirate, Jewelry Bonney swiftly and cleanly blew the pirate's head off with a single shot.
Seeing Jewelry Bonney swiftly eliminate one of his men, the captain of the Iron Hand Pirates immediately realized that this little girl was playing dumb, and quickly shouted:
"Don't underestimate them, attack together!"
Although most pirates felt it was a pity, they did not want to follow in their comrades' footsteps and quickly turned their guns on Jewelry Bonney.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
A series of gunshots rang out, thick smoke billowing from the muzzles.
Facing a hail of bullets from over two hundred pirates all alone, Jewelry Bonney's current strength makes dodging difficult enough, let alone taking a direct hit.
As the bullet drew closer, Joelle Bonney felt little regret, only a slightly apologetic glance at the woman lying on the ground, her clothes torn off.
"If I had power, you wouldn't have been humiliated!"
It was at this moment that Jewelry Bonney understood the importance of power.
But it all seems to be too late.
Just as Jewelry Bonney closed her eyes and awaited death, she suddenly felt a scorching heat wave sweep over her, along with shouts of alarm from the pirates and the frantic sound of gunfire in retaliation.
Jewelry Bonney opened her eyes, and what came into view was a navy cloak.
A figure of similar height stood before her, holding a blazing Zanpakuto in his hand, its tip angled towards the group of pirates in front of him. Without turning his head, he coldly said:
"No matter when or where, no matter what the reason, one should not easily provoke death. Only by understanding and respecting it can one comprehend the value of life."
Looking at the boy who appeared before her, Jewelry Bonney's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she thought to herself:
"So handsome!"
Chapter 56 The Future Supernova Kid? Slay him!
Like many pampered young ladies, Princess Jewelry Bonney, as the princess of the Kingdom of Dassobal, has lived in the royal city since childhood and rarely had any contact with the outside world. Her only way of understanding the outside world was through the huge library left by her father, Tyrant Bear, and the various books in the library.
When she was bored, Joelle Bonney would read all sorts of fairy tales, novels, and travel magazines. She had already read through all the well-known books, such as "Rolando the Liar."
In the adventure stories of "Rolando the Liar," there are always various forms of hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plots. Whenever she sees these kinds of stories, Joelle Bonney rolls her eyes and thinks to herself:
"If it were me, I wouldn't need any hero to save me."
"I am a heroine myself!"
Only by facing life and death can one truly understand the beauty of life.
When she faced the flintlock muskets of more than two hundred pirates all alone, Jewelry Bonney thought she was about to face the end of her life.
But when the figure in the naval uniform arrived and deflected hundreds of solid black bullets with a single slash, Jewelry Bonney looked at the boy standing in front of her and felt her heart inexplicably race.
Yang Ming's resolute face carried a hint of coldness, with his thick eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Especially when he saw the woman being dragged onto the road by the pirates, who had been stripped of her clothes and was already frozen to death silently, his dark eyes suddenly turned crimson, and a ghostly blue light flickered deep within them. His demonic eyes stared at the group of pirates in front of him, forcing them into complete silence.
At this moment, the entire place was silent, except for the occasional hissing sound of the flames burning on the Zanpakuto coming into contact with the swirling snow.
"So, novels aren't all lies after all!"
"Prince Charming really exists!"
Joelle Bonney's eyes sparkled; in her vision, the boy's figure seemed to grow infinitely taller.
As for the age difference?
This is not a problem at all!
Jewelry Bonney consumed a rather magical Devil Fruit that allows her to make others age or age overnight by touching them, and to freely transform herself into a child or an old person.
Jewelry Bonney is now in her teens. The reason she maintains her little girl appearance is simply because she made a small sacrifice to break out of the pirates' encirclement in the royal city. She can also use this appearance to play the fool and take advantage of others.
Before Yang Ming transmigrated to this world, many people joked about the character of Jewelry Bonney, saying that marrying Jewelry Bonney would be like having a daughter, a younger sister, an older sister, a wife, a neighbor's aunt, and a grandmother, fulfilling every man's dream.
Bonnie didn't speak, and the girl group avoided her.
As long as Joelle Bonney doesn't speak, she is the mute bride in every man's eyes.
What others think is not important to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming glanced at the scene. The shops on the street were in a mess, and the faces of more than two hundred pirates quickly came into view.
Every naval officer and soldier needs to remember the wanted criminals on the bounty list, and Yang Ming was no exception. He quickly recognized the leader as the captain of the Iron Hand Pirates, with a bounty of 890 million Berries.
Yeah, just some nobody.
That being said, the crimes they committed are too numerous to count!
The blazing flames seemed to respond to Yang Ming's fury, transforming into a fierce slash that ruthlessly swept away the pirates in front of him. Wherever it passed, corpses fell, and then the flames burned them to ashes, burying them along with their crimes under the white snow.
Faced with Yang Ming's offensive, the Iron Hand Pirates were completely powerless to stop him!
While eliminating the enemy, Yang Ming also had the leisure to pay attention to the system prompts.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Genshin Impact. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"
A lottery wheel that looked quite familiar to Yang Ming appeared.
The prizes on the lottery wheel are divided into several categories: summoned characters, artifacts, items, talent skills, and skins.
Summoned characters: Jean, Diluc, Klee, Venti, Mona...
Relics: Flower of Life, Feather of Death, Sands of Time, Goblet of Emptiness, Crown of Reason...
