Fortunately, in the end, Kirby pulled the love-struck Sanji to the side and personally told the beautiful woman about the origins of the four of them.
The disabled man who had fallen to the ground was called Sauron, the captain of the Ghost Pirates. The love-struck yellow curly eyebrows belonged to the pirate chef, Sanji. The idiot sleeping on the ground was James, the ship repairman. As for himself, he was the upright and handsome Kirby, a sailor.
Although they were pirates, Kirby told the woman that they had no ill intentions. The woman was slightly relieved and told Li Yu and the others her name-Nuo Qigao.
After that, Li Yu and the other three, together with Nouqigao and Cha Bo, went to their residence.
At this time, Ke Bi asked Nocko," What is a murloc?" Nocko's eyes were filled with fear.
" They're not humans," she said indignantly." They have the superior conditions and body structure of fish. However, they could live on the 6th floor. Whether it was physical strength or attack power, it was more than ten times stronger than a human. " They, they…" From the invasion of the murlocs in Kekeyaxi Village a few years ago to the recent years when the murloc Ah Long had been abusing the villagers and collecting the head tax, everything had happened one by one. Nouqigao gritted his teeth as he spoke. Except for Li Yu, almost everyone present was infected by her grief and indignation. They gritted their teeth.
James looked sympathetically at Nochko. He was no longer as lazy as when he first came. His eyes were sparkling as he said firmly,"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge your village!”
Nouchigo didn't expect these four strangers to have such a heart. His face was filled with joy, but in the next moment, it turned pale again. She sighed." It's useless. You can't defeat the murlocs!" They were very strong, and they had colluded with the navy. It's useless, it's useless…" She muttered to herself, and in the end, she couldn't stop sobbing.
He thought of the innocent villagers who died because they couldn't afford to pay the ransom, and of his adoptive mother, Belmer, who was killed by Ah Long. Noki clenched her fists tightly until her nails cut her palm, causing blood to flow out.
Sanji's heart ached when he saw her sorrowful look. He took a deep puff of his cigarette. "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive," he said with a solemn expression. I won't allow the beautiful lady to cry!”He turned to look at Li Yu, who had his head lowered, and said with a smile,""Don't you think so, green algae head?”
Li Yu chuckled and raised his head. A green light flashed in his eyes. "I'll listen to you this time, Yellow Cheese!”As he spoke, he began to remove the bandages on his hands.
His action made Kirby, who had been silent for a long time, panic. It had only been half a month. The flesh on Li Yu's hands hadn't fully grown yet. If he took off the bandages now, it would undoubtedly cripple his hands!!
Sanji frowned and suddenly shouted,""Damn cripple, don't try to be brave!" However, Li Yu's hands moved very quickly. In just a moment, the bandages on his hands slipped off.
"Ah!" Seeing the injuries on Li Yu's hands, Noqigao screamed and retreated a few steps in fear. Fortunately, Chabo was not in the room, otherwise he would have fainted.
The other members of Gui Mei frowned. How was that a hand! It was clearly a pile of rotten meat. It was covered in blood and flesh, and there were even white bones exposed in some places!
" As expected, I haven't completely recovered." Li Yu smiled bitterly, looking a little helpless. He had originally thought that his hands would be able to fight after being nourished by the green stone for half a month. However, he didn't expect it to still look like this. He bent his hands slightly and felt a bone-piercing pain, but Li Yu didn't even frown.
After recovering from his shock, Kirby immediately came back to his senses. He asked Noki for some medicine and bandages, then walked back to Li Yu and bandaged him up. This time, Li Yu did not object and let him bandage it. Was he supposed to use the pile of meat in his hands to hack Ah Long to death with the "One Word of Harmony"? Although Li Yu wasn't afraid of pain, he doubted if his hand could hold the handle of the knife tightly.
Li Yu sighed as his hands were tightly wrapped in gauze. Thinking back to how carefree his days were, when he could send heads flying and blood spurting out with a wave of his hand, Li Yu gritted his teeth. He was now a cripple, unable to even hold a simple saber! This was really unbearable!
After witnessing the cruel scene, everyone in the room was moved, especially Nuo Qigao. She really did not understand what kind of attack could injure the man's hands to such an extent. Pieces of flesh and blood piled up, sparse and loose, as if they were about to leave the hand bones and fall to the ground in the next moment. What kind of pain was that? If it was an ordinary person, they would have fainted long ago.
At this point, she looked at Li Yu and the others in a different light. She seemed to feel that everyone was extraordinary. A man who could endure such pain without frowning was destined to be extraordinary!
Perhaps they could really defeat Ah Long and his gang?!
Just then, Li Yu's words destroyed the lofty image he had painstakingly established in Nocky's heart. He swallowed his saliva and smiled brightly."Little girl, there are conditions for defeating Ah Long! Do you have any strong liquor to feed your brother? Beat him to death…"
Noki rolled her eyes and looked at Li Yu's injured hand hesitantly. There was still some whiskey in the cellar, but she was afraid…
Li Yu waved his bandaged hand and interrupted her hesitation.""It's okay. I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink. It's just a pair of hands. Drinking a little wine won't hurt!”
Regardless of Sanji's angry gaze, Li Yu's words were filled with a hint of ruffian. Perhaps only such teasing could make him forget that he was a cripple who couldn't use a knife!
After that, Nocky brought over two barrels of whiskey. Li Yu had a good rain after a long drought, so he naturally couldn't help but drink heartily. The members of the Ghost Pirates were also very happy. Ignoring Li Yu's protests, they snatched the two barrels of whiskey from him!
After a refreshing meal, Li Yu got rid of the disappointment of his hand injury and came up with a new idea. Even though he couldn't use his hands to attack, he was confident that with his nimble movement technique, he would be able to use his feet to attack in a battle. His strength shouldn't be weak.
Sanji seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Although he was cold to Li Yu and fawned over Miss Noki during dinner. However, after dinner, he still taught Li Yu two leg techniques in the name of "sympathizing" him. Li Yu knew that although he didn't say it, he had already treated him as a brother. He couldn't help but feel touched.
After that, under Shan Zhi's unwillingness. They finally bid farewell to Nouqigao and set off on the road to Ah Long's territory. Before this, Li Yu had not mentioned Nami in their conversation. Although he knew that Nouqigao was actually Nami's sister, Li Yu's character was rebellious and cynical. Naturally, he was too lazy to ask Nami where she went. After all, this woman's whereabouts had nothing to do with him. The few of them set off peacefully.
On the way, James returned to his sleepy appearance as he was dragged by Corby. The road in front of them was wide and long, and they did not take any detours. An hour later, they saw a magnificent building complex.
On the highest roof of the building, there was a murloc-shaped skull flag. Li Yu thought that this was probably Ah Long's territory.
If it was before, Li Yu wouldn't have taken Ah Long seriously. As long as he had a long saber in hand, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a powerful enemy.
However, Li Yu couldn't use his hands now. Back then, he had drawn the lightning to burn himself, not hesitating to harm his own body, all for the sake of using that Violent Thunder Slash to deal with Hawkeye. He had long expected such a result.
However, he did regret it!
Before they reached the entrance of the murloc territory, Li Yu saw a murloc walk out and look at them with hostility. He had a jagged nose, and his skin was a strange purple color. At this moment, he said in a cold voice,"You lowly humans dare to offend the noble murlocs and trespass on Ah Long's territory. What crime do you deserve!”
Sanji snorted coldly and was about to step forward to meet the attack. However, Li Yu was one step ahead of him and blocked him behind him. "I'll handle it." Li Yu whispered. Then, facing these ugly murlocs, he returned to his previous mischievous smile and mocked loudly,"Is it because I have too much earwax? Haha, I think I just heard the funniest joke in the world! Aristocrats? You mean you murlocs are nobles? Then wouldn't I be a noble, a noble? A group of half-human, half-fish monsters dare to call themselves nobles? Your heads must have been kicked by a donkey!”
The murloc's face turned purple after hearing Li Yu's words. It was the murlocs who had claimed to be a noble race. Now that Li Yu had exposed it, it became even more furious. Murlocs, as the name implied, were not humans. They had the gills of fish and the lungs of humans. They were just a type of intelligent earthworm!
The difference between black and white was enough to make people discriminate against people of color. This racial discrimination lasted for a long time until the feudal rule slowly collapsed. People's understanding changed slightly and they understood that they had to treat black people well.
However, in order to disintegrate this racial discrimination, God knows how many wars had been fought and how many black leaders had died. The price that the black people had paid for this was undoubtedly heavy!
Then, in One Piece's world, what about the murlocs that had different body structures from humans? Wouldn't they be ostracized and despised even more?
Reality proved that it was true! Murlocs were the common enemy of almost all humans. Their bodies were covered in scales and fins, and their strange purplish-green skin. It would always make people tremble and scream. 'Monsters'-this was their code name.
Therefore, in One Piece's world, murlocs and humans were always at loggerheads!
In fact, humans believed that murlocs were a lowly race, a hybrid of fish and humans.
As for the so-called nobles and experts. These unwarranted titles were all self-proclaimed by them.
The murloc was furious. He glared at Li Yu with his red eyes and a sharp nose. He wanted to show this ignorant human how powerful the murloc race was and how blessed they were!
" Hmph…" One had to admit that the murlocs were very fast. They were so fast that in the eyes of others, they could reach them in the blink of an eye.
However, this was not a problem for Li Yu, who had achieved a small success in his movement technique, because in his opinion, this degree was still a little bit lacking! Yes, it was precisely because of this that the murloc's attack missed!
Li Yu wasn't a man who underestimated his enemy. If he had, the murloc's fangs would have pierced his body by now. He used his nimble movement technique to deal with this murloc, as if he was teasing a child. He teased him teasingly, but he was always on guard against him.
Another attack was dodged by Li Yu. The Sword Fang Fish was furious. It gritted its teeth and turned its body around, attacking Li Yu from the other side.
Li Yu looked at the angle of his attack and secretly praised him. It was not easy for a murloc to do this, but he had to admit that he was no match for Li Yu. If Li Yu's hands weren't injured, the Sword Fang Fish would have been killed by him.
Li Yu felt a gust of cold wind blowing from his side. He turned his body to the side as if he was familiar with it. The teeth that were sharper than steel brushed past the side of his face. With a disdainful smile, Li Yu exerted strength with his feet. With a whoosh, the huge body of the murloc was sent flying by Li Yu's kick. The force was so great that the broken body of the murloc smashed into the wall, creating a big hole in it.
" Cough cough…" After a while, the murloc began to cough out blood, red blood. He wanted to stand up, but he collapsed weakly. No matter what, he didn't have that kind of strength!
"Damned green hair, dealing with a small fry? You've spent so much time. It's really useless!" Sanji's words were harsh, but his eyes were sharp. Li Yu's performance was beyond his expectations when he couldn't use his hands.
"Let's go!" Li Yu ignored Sanji's mockery and said to Kirby and James. Then, he took the lead and walked into the interior of Ah Long's territory.
On this sunny afternoon, the merman Ah Long was enjoying his daily sunbath. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was about to fall asleep. However, he did not expect to be woken up by a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang…bang!" Before Ah Long could react, the small door in the front yard was knocked away by a strong force and fell straight into the pool in front of him. After a gust of wind and smoke, four figures gradually appeared.
"Who are you?" Ah Long already felt that something was wrong. As he shouted, three strange-looking murlocs immediately surrounded him and glared at Li Yu and the others.
"Haha…Are you asking me?" Li Yu pointed at himself. "You can call me grandpa or ancestor." Oh, of course, I don't mind acknowledging another good grandson or son. Although you're a murloc, I won't discriminate against you!”
Dragon's face was purple. He knew that Li Yu was here to cause trouble, so he was ready to teach them a lesson. The octopus, one of the Three Murlocs in front of him, had already made its move. He shouted angrily,"Who are you? How dare you offend Brother Long! Watch me, Little Myna, chop you all up!" "Brother Long, leave them to me!" he said respectfully to Ah Long.”
A look of admiration flashed in Ah Long's eyes. He looked at Little Myna and said,""Alright, go ahead! Chop that green-headed one down!" In that short encounter, the foul-mouthed young man had left a deep impression on him.
Little Myna nodded seriously after getting permission. In his opinion, he alone was enough to deal with Li Yu's group of four. As he thought about it, he gripped the hilt of his saber with each of his six hands, roared, and attacked Li Yu.
This degree was even worse than the Sword Fang Fish guarding the door! Li Yu didn't care about No. 8 at all.
"Bang!" Little Myna, who was rushing over, crashed into a glass wall. His nose was crooked, and he grimaced in pain. "Ah, damn it. What is this?" He covered his nose and rolled on the ground until the pain subsided. He looked up and saw a transparent glass wall between him and the four people.
At this moment, Kirby walked out of the crowd and said with a serious expression,"Our captain doesn't want to fight you. Why don't you fight me?”His bright pink hair fluttered in the wind, and his beautiful face had a terrifying elegance.
Little Myna wanted to say something else, but Ah Long's expression was solemn. "It seems that I've underestimated you. It turns out that there's a fruit ability user among you!" Little Myna, go fight him! I will personally meet their arrogant captain.”
Little Myna, who had fallen to the ground, nodded. He had to admire the strength of the murlocs. He had just suffered such a heavy impact, but now he was full of life again!
At this moment, the two murlocs beside Ah Long who had been silent all this while also stood up. One was a strong murloc with two braids, and the other was a long-faced murloc with a protruding mouth. They had their eyes on the other two members of Phantom, Sanji and James.
A great battle was imminent.
