013 Destroy the Giant Hammer Pirates
With a thunder-like sound, a large number of pirates poured out from the inside of the house, like a raging tide sweeping across the village square.
Soon, more than 30 pirates were assembled, surrounding the area and waiting for their captain to appear, their weapons glinting under the daylight.
After a while, their captain finally appeared!
This was a strong man with a height of more than three meters, far taller than ordinary humans of the East Blue, with a giant iron hammer resting on his shoulders. He roared like thunder, his eyes were like copper bells filled with cruelty, and the bounty number floating above his head was clearly displayed as 40!
Seeing the captain's appearance, Lin Mu murmured calmly, "Hasa, the captain of the Giant Hammer Pirates, with a bounty of ten million Berry issued by the Marine Headquarters branch. Judging from his appearance and the weapon, it should be him."
After Hasa came out, he glanced coldly at the five or six pirates who had already fallen to the ground at the entrance, and then slowly looked at Lin Mu. The flesh on his face twisted into a hideous expression: "It was you who injured my subordinates. No matter who you are or where you come from, you are already a dead man!"
"Come together!" Hasa roared angrily, his voice echoing through the village, "This bastard already knows the strength of our Giant Hammer Pirates!"
As soon as Hasa finished roaring, the thirty or so pirates charged toward Lin Mu with swords, axes, and rusty weapons in hand, killing intent overflowing.
In the face of the impact of more than 30 people, Lin Mu's expression did not change in the slightest, and the speed of Quicksilver erupted instantly, his figure shuttling among the pirates like a ghostly silver shadow.
And every time Lin Mu passed by a pirate, the sharp bone spur on his arm pierced cleanly into the pirate's body, accurately taking away a life and gaining experience at the same time!
"Ding, kill the pirates and get 3 experience points!"
"Ding, kill the pirates and get 2 experience points!"
"Ding, kill the pirates and get 2 experience points!"
...
Very soon, the pirates fell one after another under the bone spurs of Lin Mu's fists, collapsing onto the ground without any chance to resist.
Lin Mu was reaping his own experience as if harvesting wheat in a field, while Hasa, the captain of the Giant Hammer Pirates, watched Lin Mu change from being dismissive at first to becoming extremely cautious and alert!
Because Lin Mu's displayed strength had already aroused Hasa's vigilance. If nothing else, Lin Mu's terrifying speed alone was far beyond what an ordinary East Blue pirate could reach!
But even at this moment, Hasa still had no fear in his heart, because he firmly believed that the boy in front of him was fast only because of his small and flexible body, and it was precisely because of that small size that his physical strength could not be too great, meaning he posed no real threat to him at all!
In fact, if Hasa had carefully read the Marine-issued newspaper and bounty updates from a few days ago, he would have known that his judgment at this moment was absolutely wrong.
Although Wolverine is not known for overwhelming brute strength among high-level mutants, its physical power, endurance, and explosive force are still far beyond ordinary people in the One Piece world!
Seeing his subordinates die one by one right in front of him, Hasa finally couldn't bear it any longer. Seizing an opening, he let out a furious roar and swung his massive sledgehammer toward Lin Mu with full force!
It had to be said that Hasa chose his timing very well. At this moment, Lin Mu happened to have two pirates attacking him simultaneously from two different directions, and Hasa's sledgehammer completely blocked Lin Mu's only retreat path!
That is to say, among these three attacks, Lin Mu had to choose one attack to endure head-on!
Lin Mu naturally realized this situation extremely quickly, and in a split second, he decisively ruled out Hasa's sledgehammer as the option to take.
This was not because he couldn't withstand Hasa's hammer blow, but because Squeak was hidden in his arms. If Squeak were struck by that terrifying hammer, it would likely be smashed into a bloody mess, so Lin Mu could only choose to move to the left.
Seeing this, the pirate on the left flashed a hint of joy in his eyes, thinking his chance had come. The long knife in his hand stabbed directly toward Lin Mu's waist, but before he could celebrate for even a moment, Lin Mu's bone claws pierced straight through his throat the instant their bodies crossed.
After flashing dozens of meters away at Quicksilver speed, Lin Mu stopped briefly, then expressionlessly pulled out the long sword that had pierced into his waist and casually threw it aside.
Being stabbed like this was indeed painful, but Lin Mu had already endured the far greater pain of genetic recombination. Compared to that, this injury was truly nothing. Moreover, with Wolverine's terrifying recovery ability, not even a scar would be left behind, so Lin Mu naturally had no worries at all.
However, the little fox Squeak did not know about Lin Mu's abnormal recovery ability. Seeing Lin Mu injured, it immediately jumped out of his arms, its small claws tugging anxiously at Lin Mu's collar while calling out continuous "Squeak" sounds. Its round black eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, clearly filled with worry for Lin Mu.
Lin Mu gently patted Squeak's little head and said softly, "Don't worry, I can heal this injury in less than half a minute."
After hearing this, Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. It hesitantly retracted itself back into Lin Mu's arms and climbed to the position of his injured waist. Sure enough, it saw the wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the flesh rapidly closing together, and only then did it finally relax.
At this moment, Hasa and his remaining men's attacks had already followed up. Lin Mu did not stop moving and continued to weave through the battlefield like a ghost, leaving afterimages behind him.
As the number of pirates continued to decrease, the pressure on Lin Mu also continued to lessen, and the dangerous situation from earlier never appeared again!
Soon, those pirate minions were eliminated by Lin Mu one after another, all of them turning into Lin Mu's experience points without exception!
It wasn't until the very end that Lin Mu finally turned his full attention to Hasa. This was a monster worth a full 40 experience points, the highest single target Lin Mu had encountered since he arrived in the Pirate World.
"You bastard, you're courting death!" Hasa was already furious at this moment. His crew members had all been slaughtered by this brat right in front of him, and the Giant Hammer Pirates were already pirates in name only. How could he possibly not be enraged?
Immediately, Hasa swung the giant hammer again, smashing it violently toward Lin Mu with all his remaining strength.
Seeing Lin Mu's figure flash, he easily avoided Hasa's attack without any difficulty.
Without the assistance of his subordinates to surround and restrict Lin Mu, it was impossible for Hasa to even touch him, which was exactly why Lin Mu had prioritized eliminating Hasa's men first.
While avoiding Hasa's attack, Lin Mu circled around to Hasa's back in one smooth motion, and then the bone spur on his fist stabbed directly into Hasa's back, aiming precisely at the position of Hasa's heart!
But very quickly, Lin Mu discovered with some disappointment that because of Hasa's abnormally thick muscles and terrifying physical toughness, his bone claws were unable to pierce all the way through to Hasa's heart.
With no other choice, Lin Mu could only settle for the next best option, slashing downward with brutal force and tearing open a massive, bloody wound across Hasa's back! *
