One Piece: God Killer
Chapter 3
As soon as Profik opened his mouth, the sailors' nerves became tense. They were afraid that this guy who killed five people in just a few dozen seconds would kill them too.
However, Profik's next words made them temporarily relieved.
"I want you to pilot this ship for me, but I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone on the ship." Profic spoke slowly, as if he was considering his words, "So, I want to ask you Come off the boat with me.”
Several sailors looked at each other and seemed to be discussing in a low voice. Profic did not force them, but just waited quietly. He believed that they would not be confused about the situation in front of them.
After a while, a sailor was elected, seemingly as a leader to talk to Profik.
The characters selected by the sailors were somewhat beyond Profik's expectations. Originally, he thought that the old sailor with a weathered complexion and slightly graying temples would be elected as the leader. But unexpectedly, the person speaking on behalf of the sailors was a young man with short blond hair and double pupils.
"We agree to your conditions on the premise that you cannot kill anyone, and you must release us after arriving at the next destination."
Profik frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed. The words of the young sailor in front of him revealed a sense of calmness and calmness.
Profik nodded and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Gao Shifu." Gao Shifu replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
The name sounds like a Japanese one, but the appearance is that of a Westerner. The world of One Piece is indeed very different from Earth.
"Very good, now please line up with your companions and get off the boat with me." Profik said, "Don't worry, as long as you obey the arrangements honestly, I will guarantee your safety."
The sailors naturally followed Profik's instructions, lined up in a row, and walked off the ship in order.
At this time, near the space where the battle had just occurred, there were more people than when Profik had left - some of the Dazawa islanders who had scattered just now returned to the open space. Some of them were whispering, some were discussing loudly, some were simply crying, and some were questioning Buck and Star.
As Profik stepped off the boat, the crowd's voice dropped noticeably. And when he directed the sailors to stand aside and walked into the crowd, the people questioning Buck and Star also fell silent.
Profic walked through the crowd outside and walked in the direction of Buck and Star. He could clearly feel some changes in the attitude of the people of Daze Island towards him. Before today, he was just one of the ordinary fishermen on Daze Island. No matter whether it is fishing skills, prestige on the island or life experience, there is nothing particularly outstanding. What people can praise is that he escaped every danger at sea and saved the lives of Buck and Star.
And just now, such an ordinary young man openly resisted the tax collection team and killed at least five or six members of the tax collection team in just a few minutes. This made the islanders of Daze Island feel his advantages in mentality and force, and also caused their attitude towards him to change.
All eyes were cast on him, some looked sideways, some pointed, some boldly cast blazing glances. In these gazes, there was awe, fear, blame and disgust, as well as various indescribable emotions mixed together.
Profik didn't care about the looks or the occasional whispers that reached his ears. Until—"Brother!"
Matifa shouted happily, rushed up to him, but stopped again. Maybe it was because he thought of the scene of Profik's murder, or maybe he was frightened by the smell of blood and the blood dance on his body.
"I've made you worry, Matifa." Profic didn't pick up Matifa. He was worried that the blood on his body would stain his sister. "I'm back safely."
Then, he stopped talking to Matifa - the brother and sister would still have many opportunities to communicate in the future, and what was more important now was to deal with the villagers of Daze Island who had just questioned Buck and Star.
"Buck, Star, what happened just now?" Profik turned his attention to Buck and Star.
Before the two of them could speak, Mrs. Bulstrode rushed forward and said with tears in her eyes: "Damn Illeousri, you killed us! Oh, oh, you guy, You guy actually..."
Mrs. Bulstrode, who is about forty or fifty years old, is a famous "long-tongued woman" on Big Swamp Island. She always knew the secrets of every household on Daze Island, and no matter what happened, once it came to her mouth, it would soon become known to everyone. However, most residents of Big Island did not dislike Mrs. Bulstrode. This is mainly because Mrs. Bulstrode is very enthusiastic and always willing to help everyone who encounters difficulties.
In his memory, Profic had also been favored by Mrs. Bulstrode, and his relationship with Mrs. Bulstrode was also very good. Because of this, even though Profic was covered in blood and looked very fierce, Mrs. Bulstrode was not afraid.
Mrs. Bulstrode continued: "Oh, you boy, you boy...but us, what should we do?" At this time, even she became incoherent. She really couldn't understand how Profik could dare to do such a thing. Killing the tax collector is considered a rebellion, right?
"Don't worry," Profik said with a smile, "Mrs. Bulstrode, since I do this, I naturally have my own ideas."
"You guys, do you want to kill us?" Barr walked up angrily, leaning on his crutch, and scolded Profik, "Do you know what you did? You killed the tax collector, you , His Majesty the King will not forgive such a thing... The entire Daze Island will be buried with you... You devil, you... you even bewitched... good children like Buck and Star!"
Anger has already made Barr incoherent. A young man's impulsive madness, in his opinion, will drag the entire Daze Island into a situation of no return. Although this old man is "highly respected" on the island, he is too conservative in his thinking. From what he just said, it can be seen that it is impossible for him to approve of Profik's choice.
"You bastard!" A woman cried and rushed forward, grabbing Profik by the collar. "We will all be doomed and die! You executioner!" As she said this, she rounded her hands as if to Give Profik a slap.
Profik grabbed the woman's hand, then twisted it outwards and threw her away. His sharp and fierce eyes met hers, which immediately weakened the latter's courage. Barr seemed to want to say something, but Profik didn't give him a chance to speak.
He spoke first, almost roaring: "Finis, you said I am a bastard and an executioner! But where is the real executioner? Over there!" He pointed to the tax collector who fell on the ground, and then pulled Phoenix over. He continued to roar, "Don't forget, how did your poor son, Xiao Li Ke, die? You forgot, but I still remember it clearly! On January 50 last year, he had a stomachache , I need to take medicine, and I’m only short of Baileys, but what? In the entire Daze Island, I can’t get Baileys even if I dig three feet into the ground!”
"Everyone," Profic said loudly, turning to all the islanders gathered here, "I know that you do not understand what I did today. I know that you are afraid of the tax collector and the king's revenge. But , do you really still have money to pay the heavenly gold?"
The residents of the island looked at each other, and Profic continued: "Everyone, this year's sky gold has increased by half compared to last year, even if everyone can still collect enough money. But what about next year? What about the year after that? One day, everyone will either Starve to death, or be killed if you can’t pay the heavenly gold!”
"I can't bear to see everyone heading toward death step by step, and I don't want to endure it any longer!" Profik pointed to the corpses on the ground and the ship anchored next to the island, "So, I killed them! Now, the tax The seizure team's ship is already in our hands. Sailors, please cooperate with me! I want to go to sea to make a living!"
Barr was furious. He waved the crutch in his hand and said, "Folks, don't listen to his nonsense! Going against the will of His Majesty the King and going to sea to become a thief will lead to death!"
Barr wanted to continue speaking, but the moment he and Profik met their eyes, the older Barr flinched - he clearly saw anger and murderous intent in the young man's eyes. He turned around, leaned on crutches, and walked through the crowd. As he walked, he said in a low voice: "If you go to sea and become thieves, I will never forgive you, old man..."
Profik sighed in his heart. The islanders of Daze Island were more "cowardly" than he thought. Although he has used various methods to try to arouse the rebellious spirit of the islanders. However, from their still hesitant and even frightened eyes, Profic knew that his efforts could be said to have failed. It seems that they cannot be blamed. They have been in a closed island environment for a long time and are accustomed to accepting the rule of the king. Furthermore, what Barr said is not unreasonable. The sea is dangerous after all, and it is indeed difficult to get these people to go to sea with him.
Looking at the crowd who hesitated in front of him but did not dare to leave due to the superhuman strength shown by Profik just now, Profik said: "I have already said what needs to be said. You want to come with me?" Those who go to sea should stay here, and everyone else should go home!"
"Brother!" Buck spoke, as if he wanted to say something.
Profik just shook his head, and Buck said nothing more.
The crowd in the open space hesitated for a while. Some were silent, some were whispering, and some were talking. However, it was only for a while before people gradually turned and left. There were several young people who originally wanted to stay, but were taken away by their parents or family members. Fewer and fewer people remained in the open space. In the end, excluding the sailors who were watching, there were only five people left in the open space.
Except for Profik, Buck, Star and Profik's sister Matifa, the last person left was actually a middle-aged fisherman - Jacob Lin Fuentes.
"Uncle Fuentes, are you sure you want to go to sea with us?" Profic asked with some surprise and a hint of joy. He originally thought that if anyone would go to sea with him, it would be a young man, but unexpectedly, the last person left behind was a middle-aged man over fifty years old.
Fuentes said calmly: "Ilheusri, I don't know if what you said is right or not. However, I have lost my children and I don't have much memories of this island. You children go to sea, I'm worried, maybe I can be of some help if I follow."
Hearing what Fuentes said, Profic's mood suddenly became heavy. This man, his only biological son, was swallowed by a sea beast last year when he went fishing. Since then, he has become a bit confused. Perhaps, the reason why he was willing to go to sea with Profik and others was that he did not want these young people to suffer the same fate as his own son.
Profik nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, from now on, we will be companions."
……
After a long time, the tax collection ship set sail again and sailed slowly into the distance.
