Give the pirate world a little heroic spirit shock)

Many years later, when Liu Songran looks at the sunset in the sky, he will surely recall the afternoon when he and Texas were walking on the way home and met Lapland.

Ark Office, Starting from Picking Up Texas

NO55. Overwhelming War

Looking from the sky, the capital of the Bey Kingdom was surrounded by a semicircular flaming net that spanned the entire city, just like the poison circle in the battle royale game.

The invaders were forced into the harbor by the flames. Their ship was already burning, and their only way to escape was to jump into the water.

But before they jumped into the sea, someone jumped out of the sea first.

Liis's wet boots stepped on the ground. She was obviously just a little loli who was not worth mentioning except for her appearance, but people just couldn't take their eyes off her.

Liis activated her skill, Leadership Temperament, and forcibly attracted everyone's attention.

If the effect of blocking aura is to reduce the sense of presence, then the leadership temperament has the exact opposite effect.

Liis clapped her hands at the invaders and expressed her disapproval: "If you drop your weapons and kneel down with your hands in your hands, I will spare your lives."

“…” The invaders looked at each other in horror.

In the past, based on their vision, they would never believe someone who said such arrogant words to them.

But now... look at the town behind you. That raging wall of fire was set by the mysterious woman with the strange laugh in the sky.

A considerable number of invaders dropped their weapons, held their heads and knelt on the ground. The sounds of metal colliding with the ground and knees hitting the ground were endless.

But most people still did not cooperate. They raised their eyebrows and stared at those people.

"How can you be considered honorable Bardo warriors like this?!" they scolded. "The Great God will punish your souls!"

With that, they drew their weapons and charged towards Liis without hesitation.

Liis looked at the invaders surrounding her and closed her eyes silently.

It's not what I thought. I thought that even if the enemy is weak, they will put a lot of pressure on me as long as their numbers increase.

Now, as long as the strength reaches a certain level, the number of people will not have much impact.

It’s a pity that if I knew how to use the proper domineering style, the Qing soldiers wouldn’t have had such a hard time.

Liis opened her eyes and saw someone rushing in front of her.

There are always casualties in war, and the few seconds they waited for her to rush in front of her were Liis's last mercy.

"Rainbow light." After saying that, water blades rose from the soles of Liis' feet and rotated with her as the center like a ring.

Under the sunlight, the high-speed rotating water ring blooms with dazzling colorful light, and Liis, who is rotated by the rainbow, looks like an angel.

The water ring rose to the top of her head. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Then, the water ring spread and exploded in an instant, like a radiating wave.

The invaders who were rushing forward with weapons stopped in their tracks. Then, they were smoothly cut in various positions and fell to the ground in a twisted manner, staining the streets red with blood.

Liis raised her hand again, and quickly retracted the spreading water blade and put it into the vase.

The captives kneeling on the ground lowered their heads, no longer possessing the passion for war, as fear overwhelmed everyone's soul.

"Master..."

Black Jeanne fell from the sky and after landing next to Liis, she folded the wings behind her.

She looked at Li Yisi's little face. Although there was no expression, it was still pale.

"If you don't like killing, you can let me do it." Hei Zhen looked directly at Li Yisi and said very seriously.

"No..." Liis shook her head, "This is necessary. I should get used to it."

She doesn't have the halo of a protagonist who can rush around on the sea.

What's more, it's not like he had killed people before, but this was the first time he had done it on such a large scale, so casually, and in such a bloody scene.

Hassan did not show up, but her voice reached Liis's ears: "Everyone has such moments. Relax. Their death is not because of you, but because of the greedy king behind them."

"I understand." Li Yisi didn't say anything else, but her expression was much more relaxed.

Hei Zhen started a fire, which ignited blood and body parts all over the ground.

The people kneeling down were frightened by the fire coming towards them, and some almost ran away until the flames spread to them, and then they realized that they felt nothing.

When the black ship docked at the port, the war had basically subsided. The dark flames caused by the treasure were easily taken back by Hei Zhen, and the streets after the war were covered with charcoal-like scorch marks.

The people who had been freed from the war looked around in shock, and still had no deep sense of the fact that they had survived.

Liis took the rope gift she had drawn from the card and tied up the surrendered prisoners together.

Captain Derry walked onto the dock trembling. He had just witnessed the whole process on the ship.

The desperate troops were mowed down like grass in the hands of the two men. The overwhelming power made people feel at ease, but also worried.

If they wanted to attack the kingdom, they would be powerless to fight back.

When the captain came to Liis, she looked up at him and said, "I've been wondering since I got here. Don't you have any soldiers guarding your town?"

From the moment we arrived here, it was a one-sided massacre. It wasn't that there were no people in military uniforms resisting, but they were too few in number in front of the invaders.

"Most of the troops are in the main battlefield... This could be a surprise decapitation attack..." Captain Delhi analyzed.

"...I hope your king is still alive in the palace." Liis's subtext is that she hopes he has not abandoned the city and fled.

The captain sent a few men to settle the prisoners, and then he took the initiative to lead the way, taking Liis and others to see the king.

After all, the ancestors of the Bey Kingdom were wealthy, and the royal palace was built quite magnificently and solidly, so the invaders were unable to break in until they were wiped out.

The outer walls of the palace are carved with exquisite hanging carvings. Although many of them were destroyed by invaders, one can still feel the culture behind them.

The guards on the city wall looked at the approaching people from the battlements in shock, and they looked as if they had not yet reacted.

The invasion was very sudden. They had already tried their best to successfully raise the palace gates and defend the palace during the war. They had no time to figure out what was happening outside.

But they still had their eyes. The fire that suddenly rose and then suddenly went out, coupled with the woman flapping her dragon wings and laughing wildly in the air, all made them terrified.

At this moment, the woman in black armor and holding a flag was walking towards them, which made them extremely nervous and they didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Captain Delhi was an old acquaintance. He cleared his cough, then walked to the front and took out a token from his pocket.

"I am Lord Delhi, recognized by the kingdom! I have come with reinforcements to meet His Majesty the King!"

His powerful voice put the guards at ease.

NO.56. Devil Fruit

The king hid in the secret passage in the basement of the palace until someone came to look for him, then he returned to the palace tremblingly.

Captain Delhi had already been waiting in the palace with Liis and Black Zhen. After the king sat back on the throne, he immediately knelt on one knee to salute.

He was the only one in the entire hall who was performing the ceremony, while Liis and Heizhen were standing very casually.

The king didn't have the nerve to bother with trivial matters of protocol. He eagerly asked Liis, "Thank you for your help... May I ask the names of the two heroes?"

Liis looked up at the king. His hair and beard were completely white, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. He was not wearing a crown, and his clothes were very simple. Was it because he had sold all his valuables?

When Captain Delhi introduced the king, Liis had thought he would be an ambitious but sad young man, but when she met him face to face, she only felt tired.

This fatigue is like a virus, even people who look at him will be infected.

Perhaps this is a portrayal of ordinary people. The king that Liis had seen in the past was her mother - who was obviously not a normal person.

Liis thought for a moment and said, "Just call me... Master."

You refuse to tell us your real name... Is it a code name for some organization?

Anyway, they wouldn't believe that someone would use "Master" as a name, but if someone doesn't want to say their real name, they have no right to force it.

"Thank you again for your willingness to help... I could never repay this kindness with my life." The king stood up. "Of course, we won't remain silent... Unfortunately, even we don't have much Bailey left."

As he spoke, he untied a box from his belt and opened it in front of the entire kingdom hall.

A fruit with a spiral pattern lay quietly inside.

After the invaders' raid, he hid in the tunnel with this most important national treasure. If there was really no way to escape, he would swallow the fruit as a last hope of death.

Unfortunately, although devil fruits are extremely rare and can grant magical superpowers by eating them, not all fruits can be used in combat.

The box of fruit in the king's hand is what ordinary people call a chicken rib.

Although no one has eaten it yet, an adventurer from the North Sea once personally identified the classification of this fruit for his family. It was after that identification that the royal family decided to preserve it as a collection.

He did not introduce the power of this fruit to Liis, as he was worried that the reinforcements he had finally obtained would despise the power of this fruit and regret helping her.

Unfortunately, his tired little thoughts were of no use. Liis looked at the fruit, and golden light shone in her eyes.

She didn't expect the system to automatically start and identify the devil fruit.

"Animal type·Bird-Bird Fruit·Parrot form."

The system said the name of the fruit.

"..." Liis was a little surprised, because compared to what she had imagined, this fruit was much more useful.

The Kingdom of Bey was invaded, and it had the fruit but didn't use it. The only explanation was that the fruit was just a useless thing that didn't help much in the war. But even so, the ability to fly of the Bird-Bird Fruit was still extremely rare.

I remember when I was watching anime in my previous life, there was a person with the ability of the Peregrine Fruit in the Alabasta chapter. At that time, the narrator specifically explained that there were only five kinds of fruits in the world that could make people fly.

Of course, judging from the subsequent plot, this setting may have been eaten, but this also proves the value of the Bird-Bird Fruit.

No wonder the Kingdom of Bey chose to collect it as a national treasure.

The king closed the box and bowed to Liis. "Thank you again for your willingness to help. You will be a hero that our family will always remember."

"Let's not dwell on this anymore. Let's talk about the war," Black Zhen interrupted the king. "We're not here to be worshipped."

"Yes, that's what we should do." The king sat back on the throne and ordered his guards to prepare chairs for several people.

After everyone was seated, the king briefed them on the causes and course of the war. These were the same words that Lies had already heard from Captain Derry.

In addition to this, there is the situation on the front line. They are losing ground and have lost nearly one-third of their territory. The shadow of national destruction is already looming.

Liis felt that she didn't get any useful information, but there was always a strange sense of disharmony in her heart.

It was not until the end of the meeting that she finally had a flash of inspiration and grasped the strangeness in her heart.

"Why are they going to war?" Liis asked a seemingly stupid question.

"Why start a war? Why else? Of course it's because of greed!" Captain Delhi was so angry that his teeth were itching when he mentioned the invaders.

"Yes, greed, for territory?" Liis rested her elbows on her thighs, her palms resting on her chin. "This kingdom is so broken that it can't even pay for the gold in the sky?"

“…” The king and Captain Delhi looked at each other, they were actually also confused.

Especially the battle of the royal capital that was just resolved. As a surprise attack, their scale was definitely not small, but the benefits they could get after winning the war might not be enough to cover the cost of mobilizing the army.

This is also the reason why the king and the captain tried to seek mediation from the World Government. They felt that the invaders might have other intentions, and at worst they could cede land in exchange for compensation.

But judging from today's raid, they clearly came with a life-and-death mentality.

"They said it was a holy war..." The king pressed his head and said what the army in the front reported.

"Holy war? That's baffling." Liis commented, then stood up from her seat. "Where are the prisoners? I'll go ask for them myself."

……

People were running around in the streets after the war. After a few hours, everyone was able to initially suppress the shadow of almost death.

However, people’s enthusiasm for rebuilding their homes has never been very high. The shadow of war has overwhelmed everyone’s heart. They are worried that it will not be long before the flames of war will engulf their homes again.

When Li Yisi walked on the street with Hei Zhen, the residents around them would immediately change their expressions and avoid them when they saw them.

Black Zhen left such a deep impression on them that even though they knew she was the hero who saved them, they still instinctively felt fear.

Liis glanced at Heizhen. This guy couldn't hide his thoughts and looked a little hurt.

"If this incident is over, with the power you have shown, you will definitely be offered a large reward." Li Yisi said, looking straight ahead.

"Reward?" Joan of Arc's attention was indeed drawn. She already knew what the reward meant along the way.

She cast aside the fearful looks of the crowd and excitedly calculated, "I'm so strong, the bounty must be at least several hundred million!"
