Previously, when Qin Ming said that he wanted to beat him up, he didn't put Qin Ming in his heart at all. He thought that Qin Ming couldn't threaten him, so he ignored Qin Ming.
But now, Crowe could feel a dangerous and violent aura from Qin Ming, forcing him to shift his attention to Qin Ming.
Especially Qin Ming's strange dark red eyes, which were flickering with a faint golden light, causing Ke Luo's heart to tremble.
Crowe saw it clearly from above. It was because of this change in Qin Ming's eyes that he was able to unleash a power that far surpassed Sam's and defeat Sam with a single punch.
Although Crowe suspected that Qin Ming was the user of the Devil's Fruit, he didn't ask. He had heard many rumors about the Devil's Fruit, but he had never heard of any Devil's Fruit that could change the color of a person's pupils.
"Hurry up and attack. I'll finish you off in less than three moves!”
Crowe kicked away the dying Usopp and said to Qin Ming who was at the bottom of the slope.
Considering the safety of Usopp and Keya, I had to use the fastest speed to get Crowe away from them. This way, when I beat him up, I wouldn't have to worry too much.
Just as Qin Ming was about to charge forward and force Crowe away from Usopp and Keya, he heard a gunshot.
It turned out that Keya was upset and indignant when she saw Crowe humiliating Usopp like this. When she saw Crowe's back facing her, she pulled out the pistol she had hidden in her pocket. After hesitating for a moment, she glanced at Usopp, who was covered in blood, and bit her lip. Finally, she fired at Crowe.
When Qin Ming heard the gunshots, he knew that something was wrong. He rushed towards Crowe at full speed.
Crowe's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he easily dodged the bullet. He even arrived behind Keya, and the long cat claw in his hand was pressed against Keya's neck."Miss, you've really grown a lot in these three years. You even have the courage to shoot people.”
"What do you mean?"
Qin Ming saw that Ke Ya's neck had been cut by Crowe's cat claw. If he continued to rush forward, Ke Ya would probably be killed by Crowe, so he had to stop.
"Don't think too much. I won't use her as a hostage to threaten you. It's just that before I fight with you, I want to deal with some small matters first.”
A cruel smile appeared on Crowe's face as he coldly spoke to Qin Ming.
Damn it, if that woman hadn't fired, things wouldn't have become so troublesome.
Qin Ming might not care about Keya's life, but he knew how important Keya was to Usopp.
The purpose of this battle was to help Usopp protect the people of Xiluobu Village. If Keya was killed because of his reckless actions, then what was the point of this battle?
Qin Ming could only suppress the anger in his heart and think of a way to save Keya safely.
"Let go of Keya. I won't let you hurt her!”
Usopp, who was lying in a pool of blood, struggled to stand up and picked up his slingshot again.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that a useless person like you who only knows how to talk big wants to protect others?”
Crowe restrained Keya with one hand and took a few steps forward. He stepped heavily on Usopp's chest and sneered.
Ke Luo blocked Ke Ya in front of him, the long claws in his hands still pressing on Ke Ya's neck, not giving Qin Ming any chance to sneak attack. He even asked Qin Ming: "So, you agree with me, right?”
" People like him, who spend every day in a peaceful village playing the ridiculous pirate game with some kids and fantasizing about becoming brave warriors at sea, are just as stupid as his pirate father, who went to sea with unrealistic dreams.”
Crowe said to Qin Ming as he looked disdainfully at Ousopp, who was being stepped on.
When Qin Ming heard Ke Luo's words, an anger that he had never felt before filled his heart. He lowered his head slightly and clenched his fists tightly. His dark red eyes became even brighter and there was a faint red light flickering in his eyes. It intertwined with the golden light around his eyes and looked very strange.
Seeing that Qin Ming didn't reply, Crowe didn't mind and asked Keya, who was restrained by him,""Young miss, do you think I'm right?”
"If you want all my assets, I can give them to you. Stop doing evil and let Usopp go.”
Keya saw that Usopp had been kicked by Crowe in the chest and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. As someone who had studied medicine, she could tell that if this continued, Usopp would definitely die. She was so anxious that tears flowed down her face as she said to Crowe with a sobbing tone.
"Young miss, why aren't you answering me? You're wrong. I want your money, but I want a stable life more.”
When Crowe said this, his face revealed a hint of nostalgia."In the past three years, I've spent a lot of effort to gain the trust of the villagers. It really makes me feel comfortable. My plan will only be successful if I can get a stable life and your wealth at the same time.”
At this point, Crowe smiled gently and looked at Keya.""In these three years, I have been accompanying you, a young miss full of dreams. When you were sick, I took care of you with great effort, sharing pain and laughter with you. I've dedicated three years to this!”
"The reason why I endured such humiliation and made such a huge sacrifice was so that I could legally obtain your property and live the stable life that I have longed for for a long time. Therefore, the pirate attack on the village today and your will to give me all your assets must happen!”
The gentleness on Crowe's face disappeared and was replaced by an endless malevolence. He roared in Keya's ear,""I used to be known as Captain Crowe. For three years in a row, I smiled at a little girl who smelled like milk and tried my best to please you. Do you understand how painful it was for me to endure such humiliation?”
"Therefore, from the first day I saw you three years ago, I decided to kill you with my own hands! I spent three years waiting for the day to kill you. Do you understand?”
Crowe's face was filled with malice as he told Keya the cruel truth in a cold-blooded manner.
When Keya heard Crowe's words, she was already sobbing. Thinking back to the little things that she had spent with him for the past three years, it could be said that it was very heartwarming. However, she never dreamed that Crowe, who had always taken care of her for the past three years and was kind and amiable, would not think of killing her at all times!
Such a huge contrast made Keya, who was inexperienced in the world, sink into deep despair.
"You bastard!"
Usopp, who was being stepped on by Crowe, saw Keya being agitated by Crowe's words. Her face was as white as a sheet. She endured the immense pain from the wounds on her body and aimed her slingshot at Crowe.
However, Crowe didn't give Usopp a chance to attack. He stomped hard on Usopp's slingshot-wielding right hand.
Usopp's right hand had been shot by Mei Li yesterday. The gunshot wound had not recovered yet, but Crowe had obviously deliberately stepped on the wound on his right hand and kept kicking it repeatedly."I told you, a son of a pirate who only knows how to lie and deceive people like you can't do anything at all! You can also try to scream a few times to gain my sympathy. Perhaps I will be merciful and let you go.”
Even though Crowe had stepped on his right hand with such force, and even though the pain from the wound was excruciating, Usopp still did not make a sound. He only stared at Crowe with an angry expression, as if he was swearing an oath. He gritted his teeth and said word by word,"I want to defeat you! I want to protect my hometown! I won't let you hurt Keya again!"
Ousopp's shouts were louder and louder, and his words were extremely firm, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Usopp!"
When Keya heard Usopp's words, a warm light seemed to shine into her originally gloomy and helpless heart. Her lifeless eyes regained focus, and a hint of redness appeared on her pale face.
Crowe looked disdainfully at Usopp, who was being stepped on by him."You're indeed a liar who only knows how to talk big. Moreover, only a fool would believe your lies.”
"Hmph, hahahahaha!"
Crowe laughed wildly." Since you dare to talk big, I'll kill her right in front of you!" Let's see how you can protect her!"
Upon hearing Crowe's words, Usopp's eyes split open as he stared at Crowe. Keya, who was restrained by Crowe's cat claws, actually smiled at Usopp. She had always been weak, but at this moment, she did not hide her determination to fight to the death. It was obvious that she was no longer afraid of life and death.
Seeing that Crowe was about to kill Keya, Usopp panicked. He did not know where he got the strength from, but his originally immobile hands actually tightly hugged Crowe's foot that was stepping on his chest. Following that, he heard a shocking roar.
"What's so funny!!!!”
Qin Ming suddenly raised his head and said angrily to Crowe who was laughing at him: "A man does his best to protect what he wants to protect. You, who only knows how to play dirty tricks behind his back, what right do you have to laugh at him? Answer me, Crowe!"
When the pirates below heard Ousopp's words, they wanted to laugh at him, but after Qin Ming's red eyes that were like the blood moon shot a glance at them, they all fell silent out of fear and broke out in cold sweat. They felt as if their hearts had been torn apart, so how could they still laugh?
"What did you say?"
Ke Luo looked at Qin Ming and did not attack Ke Ya for the time being.
When their eyes met, Qin Ming's dark red pupils started to spin, and the golden light around his pupils started to spin in a counterclockwise direction.
At this moment, many scenes that he had never seen before appeared in Qin Ming's mind.
Qin Ming saw a seven-year-old orphan being bullied by several other children.
This orphan used to be the son of a rich family. Unfortunately, his hometown was attacked by pirates. All his family's money was stolen and his parents were killed. He became a wandering orphan who was lucky enough to survive. He used to be with a group of abandoned stray cats.
When this orphan was thirteen years old, he couldn't stand being bullied by other children. He set up a vicious trap and killed all the children who had bullied him in the past.
Many years later, when the orphan grew up, he spent a long time practicing the Silent Murderous Movement Technique.
Then, this orphan went out to sea and became a pirate. He founded the Black Cat Pirate Group, which later became the Hundred Crows.
In less than a second, Qin Ming seemed to have a clear understanding of Crowe's growth and experience. He also knew why he used cats as pirate flags. It was because when he was young, he relied on stray cats. These cats left a deep impression on him.
He also knew why Crowe would spend three years to carry out this plan instead of using pirate methods to snatch it.
Other than the reason he mentioned before, the deeper reason was that he had experienced the death of his parents by pirates in the past, and his wealth was taken away, which led to a drastic change in his life.
He had targeted Keya and spent three years on her because he was enjoying the process of revenge. He wanted others to experience the pain he had suffered when he was young. This was an extremely twisted mentality.
However, Qin Ming didn't care about these things. He only knew that now was the best time to save Keya and Usopp.
While Crowe and Qin Ming were talking, Woop gathered all his strength and grabbed Crowe's foot that was stepping on his chest. He pulled hard and Crowe lost his balance in an instant.
Qin Ming seized this opportunity, and with a flash of lightning, he arrived at Crowe's side and snatched Keya from his hands. Then, under Crowe's shocked expression, he punched him in the face, sending him flying.
Boom!
Crowe's body crashed heavily into the rock wall of the slope, and the gravel that fell from the rock wall buried him.
"How is it? Didn't you say that Usopp is just a braggart? But with his help, Keya has been rescued, and you won't have the chance to hurt her again. If that's the case, can you still say that Usopp is a useless liar?”
After Qin Ming asked Keya to take care of the heavily injured Usopp, he slowly walked towards Crowe.
"Impossible, impossible!"
Bang!
Crowe walked out from the pile of rocks. His glasses had been smashed by Qin Ming's punch, leaving only the frame. His nose had caved in from Qin Ming's punch, and blood was flowing out of his nose. However, he didn't even have the mood to wipe his nose now. He looked at Qin Ming with shock and suspicion."What you used just now, could it be my Silent Steps?”
"You're right. You spent more than four years to master the Silent Steps. When you move, try to concentrate the strength of your legs on your heels. Before the strength is transferred to the soles of your feet, quickly take the next step of the Silent Movement Technique.”
Qin Ming's blood-red eyes stared at Crowe, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: ""It's great to meet you here.”
"Thanks to you, not only did I learn a method to move quickly and silently, I also figured out what my Demon Fruit's ability is.”
The smile on Qin Ming's face grew wider, the blood red color in his eyes became even more vibrant. He looked at Crowe: "In this way, I can become stronger and beat you up more happily!”
"Now, prepare to be beaten up, you bastard who has completely angered me!”
Qin Ming loosened the muscles in his hands and rushed towards Crowe.
