The two of them walked out of the cabin and onto the deck. They immediately saw the extremely chaotic scene.
On the deck of the merchant ship, Arita was sent flying by a punch from the straw hat Luffy. She streaked across the sky like a meteor and disappeared into the distance.
On the sea not far from the two ships, three warships were neatly lined up. The fierce cannons roared continuously, splashing waves that were several meters high.
The pirates were panicking and unable to organize an effective counterattack. Now that their captain was missing, it was only a matter of time before they were attacked by three warships.
" The Arrita Pirates are done for…" Fang Lang took a glance and compared the combat strength of both sides. He came to a conclusion." Nami, let's use the lifeboat to escape. We can't stay here any longer."”
"You're right. We have to do it as soon as possible."
"Follow me."
As he spoke, Fang Lang looked around. The pirates on the deck had not discovered them.
The two of them walked to the side of the ship with the hatch, ready to break through from the side with the weakest firepower, which was the small area between the pirate ship and the merchant ship.
The lifeboat could be safely lowered here.
Just as Fang Lang turned the corner, another pirate rushed out from the other side. Under the emergency situation, Fang Lang subconsciously dodged to the side, but he did not expect the pirate to directly collide with Nami, who was following behind him.
The two of them were in a panic. The collision knocked them both to the ground. The cloth bag that Nami had been carrying was sent flying, and the treasure chest fell out of the cloth bag.
"What are you doing…Fang Lang?" The pirate cursed anxiously. Only then did he notice Fang Lang standing at the side. Then, the overwhelming presence of the treasure chest on the ground attracted his attention." Eh…"
"Pick it up, hurry up." Fang Lang ignored the pirate. Instead, he helped Nami up and said,"Keep the treasure chest."
The pirate at the side widened his eyes. Looking at all of this, he seemed to understand something in an instant.
"Fang, Fang Lang…who, who is she? Don't tell me you…"
"Shut up." Fang Lang glared at him and berated.
It was really unexpected to be seen by someone. Fang Lang was worried that this person would leak some information that should not be leaked. It would be troublesome if it attracted others. Pirates only had one choice when dealing with internal traitors: Kill them all!
At this time, it might be the best choice to silence the other party silently. However, Fang Lang had been with these people for three weeks after all. He was not mentally prepared to suddenly make a move.
However, this pirate did not fall for his trick. The sudden appearance of the navy had already thrown these people into a panic. At this moment, they saw that Fang Lang had signs of betrayal. Without any hesitation, they suddenly pulled out their machete and roared fiercely,"You, you tell me! Who was she? What's with the treasure chest on this woman? Don't tell me you're thinking of betraying us? What? No wonder the navy appeared so quickly this time. You must have secretly reported it!？？What? Fang Lang! Tell me!"
The immense pressure from the outside world forced the pirate to lose his composure. The constant roar of artillery fire in the distance and the incessant splashing of water around the hull of the ship were like the soul-snatching bell of the Grim Reaper, dragging people into the dark underworld without any explanation.
“……”
Under the loud questioning, Fang Lang could only remain silent. Then, he smiled and said in relief,"Since we've already been seen, there's nothing we can do.”
"You! Why? Why did you betray me?" The pirate saw Fang Lang silently agreeing, and the viciousness on his face gradually escalated to malevolence.
Fang Lang sighed softly and calmly pulled out the Langye.
"Pirates are still pirates after all. They're an evil party that relies on burning, killing, and looting to survive. When they recognized you as one of their own, everyone was a happy family. When you were excluded, they were enemies. Stop talking nonsense. Either you move away from here, or I'll walk over your corpse after I cut you down. Make your choice!"
"You bastard!"
The pirate couldn't take the provocation and charged over with his saber.
Fang Lang remembered this person's face. During the last gathering after the town robbery, he had sat across from him, eaten meat together, and toasted with him.
However, so what?
He was a pirate, and so was Fang Lang.
"Physical acceleration."
He coldly said these words. Then, with a flash of silver sword light, a bloody wound was left on the pirate's chest.
After three weeks of training, Fang Lang had already passed the novice stage where he knew nothing. For a small fry at the bottom level of the pirates, perhaps he did not need the ability to increase his physical speed at all, but perhaps this was to show respect to the other party, so Fang Lang displayed his full strength.
His sword was crafty, flawless, and as fast as lightning, so fast that it was impossible to block.
Then, the pirate was defeated.
"I hope you won't be a pirate in your next life."
Fang Lang sheathed Lang Ye, then took off his top hat and pinned it on the pirate's head who had fallen to the ground in a pool of blood.
" Nami…" Fang Lang turned around.
The girl behind him was shocked. She had been watching their conversation and battle. When she saw Fang Lang looking at her, she felt a sense of fear for some reason.
"Uh…did I scare you?" Fang Lang was stunned and smiled bitterly.
It was his first time killing someone, so he couldn't calm down. Therefore, he couldn't think of a way to appease this girl.
"Don't be afraid, I swear I won't do anything to you." " Alright, let's not talk about it for now. Let's retreat quickly. Many pirates have already discovered the situation here. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to finish."”
"Oh…yes." Nami shook her head and threw away the unnecessary thoughts in her mind. At least the two of them were in a cooperative state now. Let's not discuss each other's character for the time being. The most important thing was to survive the temporary disaster.
"Help me lower the lifeboat here.”Fang Lang walked around the corpse and began to untie the lifeboat tied to the side of the ship.
"I understand."
Seeing that Nami had finally returned to her senses, Fang Lang heaved a sigh of relief. However, he soon smiled bitterly in his heart.
Did his favorability drop this time? It had definitely decreased! With this girl's innocent and kind nature…Forget it, there's still time. If it really doesn't work, he can still ask for help from an expert.
"Alright, put it down."
After untying the last knot, the lifeboat, which had lost its restraints, fell to the surface of the sea under the effect of gravity.
Fang Lang glanced at Nami and said,""You go down first. There are pirates coming, I'll block them.”
"Are you okay?"
"Don't worry."
Fang Lang nodded at Nami, then turned around and pulled Lang Ye out. However, the person who walked out from the shadows made him slightly stunned.
The number one swordsman of the Arrita Pirates, Naike, slowly walked over. The bearded man's expression was calm as he asked,"Why?"
