Sakis looked down at Zoro with disdain: "Did you hear me? Get lost, you stinking beggar!"
Zoro raised an eyebrow, turned to Luffy and asked, "Hey, can I cut this guy down now?"
Luffy quickly waved his hand to stop him: "How can you just kill people like that? We're law-abiding citizens."
"Huh?" Zoro looked at Luffy like he was an alien. "When did you become so polite?"
Luffy earnestly lectured Zoro: "Hey! How can you think of me like that? I'm a Marine representing justice, after all. Everything should be done according to procedure. You can't bully men and women! Hey, white-haired guy, are you a pirate?"
Sakis paused, then nodded subconsciously.
Luffy nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, the procedure's complete. Now you can cut him down."
Zoro: "..."
Sakis suddenly realized what was happening and flew into a rage: "You dare to trick me!"
However, Zoro ignored him. His Sandai Kitetsu flashed instantly, and a jet of blood spurted from Sakis's chest as he fell backward, headfirst.
The scalding blood splattered all over the female pirate Lily beside him, causing her to let out a piercing scream.
Luffy disdainfully activated his Rinnegan's repulsive power, deflecting all the splattering blood. He grumbled, "Couldn't you be a little more polite? Just stab him to death! Look at this blood splattering, so unsightly. And this first stab wasn't even enough to kill him; finishing him off is such a hassle."
As he spoke, Luffy casually pulled out the Desert Eagle he'd acquired earlier. Under the horrified gazes of the shop assistant and his female companion, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. Sakis's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
Luffy: "Uh..."
"Sorry, I'm a novice. First time using it. I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful."
"Boss, I remember this guy had a bounty of 38 million Berries on his head. Is that enough to cover your room rental fee?"
Luffy blew on the smoke from the muzzle of his gun, pointing at the mangled corpse and asking the shop assistant.
The shop assistant, initially terrified, nodded frantically, then shook his head frantically, kowtowing to Luffy with a mournful face: "Sir, please stop messing with me! They're Bellamy's henchmen! Our shop can't afford this! Please, sirs, give us a break!"
Luffy waved his hand dismissively: "What are you talking about? We're regular Marines, catching pirates is our duty. But I, Luffy, am not the kind of person who dines and dashes. If this guy's bounty isn't enough, I'll go catch a few more to make up the difference. Anyway, I think there are plenty of valuable heads in this town."
Hearing this, the shop assistant cried even harder, feeling like the sky was falling.
At this moment, the group of pirates in the pavilion behind them finally reacted: "Sakis!"
A dozen or so men roared and rushed forward, surrounding Luffy and Zoro.
"Eh? So there are so many accomplices."
Zoro, seeing this, remained completely calm, instead excitedly pulling out his Snow White, a bright smile spreading across his face.
"Who are you? Do you know who we are?!"
"We are the Hyena Pirates, under the command of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Captain Bellamy's elite!!"
Luffy found a beach chair and comfortably lay down, watching the group of lowly karaomis who dared to challenge his powerful backer with amusement:
"Doflamingo? What is that? He doesn't even deserve it!"
"Who dares to spout such nonsense here!"
Suddenly, an angry roar came from outside the door.
"Captain Bellamy?!"
A lowly karaomis, as if seeing a savior, excitedly shouted at the newcomer.
"Oh?" Luffy raised an eyebrow, looking at this former underling who had once utterly humiliated him with amusement.
Bellamy, who idolized Doflamingo, was now ashen-faced, frantically searching for the source of the voice, not even glancing at the dead state of his first mate.
"I said it, you have a problem with that?"
Luffy stared at Bellamy, his tone utterly contemptuous.
Bellamy, seeing Luffy's appearance, was startled: "You're the Vice Admiral who defeated Crocodile a while ago?"
But he quickly regained his composure and fearlessly roared at Luffy, "Don't compare that cowardly coward to the great Lord Doflamingo! Lord Doflamingo could crush that kind of trash with a flick of his finger!"
"Ignorance is bliss," Luffy clicked his tongue in amazement. "You try having Doflamingo stand in front of me? Give him a hundred lives and see if he dares to lay a finger on me!"
At this moment, Luffy was a legitimate high-ranking Marine.
Doflamingo was the most astute and cunning old fox in the entire pirate world. The Marines, as the overlords of the seas, wielded far more terrifying power than that brute Kaido.
Most importantly, it's no secret that Luffy's grandfather is Garp. Even if Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon, had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare touch Luffy, a Marine.
Unfortunately, Bellamy, this frog in a well, is completely unaware of these inside stories. In his eyes, Doflamingo is an omnipotent god.
His legs transformed into springs, gathering momentum: "I'll make you pay for your arrogance! How dare you, a Vice Admiral who rose to power through connections, insult Lord Doflamingo?"
In his mind, the Seven Warlords, the Four Emperors, and the Admirals were on the same level. He, a "great pirate" with a bounty of 55 million, could easily crush a Vice Admiral like Luffy who got there through connections.
So he decided to teach Luffy a lesson: "Kid, remember this! Some words can kill! Hah!!"
Bellamy roared, about to launch himself.
A blinding red light exploded in the air, accompanied by a deafening roar.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the surrounding Bellamy, his upper body was instantly vaporized by the intense heat of the Railgun, leaving not a trace.
"Hey! Luffy! You had the nerve to say that to me? Your move was clearly much more disgusting!"
Zoro looked at the still-smoking lower body and muttered speechlessly.
"Huh? Is that so? It's just that this guy's yelling was really annoying."
Luffy calmly withdrew his smoking arm, a few sparks crackling at his fingertips.
Bellamy was the kind of rotten scum who oozes filth. He had no dreams, only a penchant for murder, robbery, and debauchery.
In Luffy's eyes, keeping such scum around was a waste of air and a disgrace to the Marines.
Luffy didn't have the time to reform this trash like the Luffy in the original story. Wouldn't it be a million times better to cultivate a righteous Marine than this monstrosity?
Seeing Bellamy's miserable state, the remaining members of the Hyena Pirates were terrified. They knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, too afraid to even run away.
"Marine Grandpa, spare us! Marine Grandpa! We'll never do it again!"
They were, frankly, a bunch of petty thugs who followed Bellamy around, never having witnessed such a terrifying scene of instant annihilation. They were usually just cheering from the sidelines during fights.
Luffy's icy gaze swept over the group of good-for-nothings: "Go to the nearest Marine base and turn yourselves in. If I find out one of you is missing, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."
The little Karami, hearing they could still live, burst into tears of joy: "Thank you, Marine Grandpa, for sparing our lives! We're leaving right now! We're leaving right now!"
Meanwhile, the innkeeper, witnessing this scene, trembled uncontrollably: "I was blind to your greatness! We'll arrange the best rooms for you gentlemen right away!"
"What are you trembling for? I'm not a pirate," Luffy rolled his eyes, "I'm a Marine! Don't you understand! A partner of justice!"
The innkeeper and Zoro: "..."
With that ruthless killing spree you just did, how do you look like a partner of justice?!
Looking at the terrified innkeeper, Luffy suddenly felt bored.
"Let's go, let's go, this is boring. Let's just go find Kurik."
With that, Luffy got up and swaggered out of the inn.
"Hey, Luffy, didn't we agree to rest for the night?"
Zoro quickly followed behind.
Luffy left the inn and headed straight for a tavern that looked reasonably decent.
"Huh? Weren't we going to buy supplies? Why do you want to drink again?" Zoro asked curiously.
"No," Luffy squinted into the dimly lit depths of the bar, where a burly, disheveled man sat, munching on a cherry pie, "Going to meet an old friend."
"Who?"
Zoro paused, following Luffy's gaze.
The fat, dark-skinned man, who was devouring the pie, stopped abruptly.
Turning his head, Zoro looked at Luffy with a playful glint in his eye: "Hehehe, I never expected to run into a legendary Marine Vice Admiral in this run-down place. What brings you here?"
Luffy walked straight to the bar, tapped the table, and called out to the owner, "Two glasses of rum, and two pounds of meat."
"Oh? Luffy, the sun's risen in the west! You actually dared to spend money on me for drinks."
Zoro licked his lips happily.
"You're overthinking it. I'm buying a drink for this guy over there."
Luffy smiled and pushed the drink towards Blackbeard.
Blackbeard looked at Luffy in surprise, completely baffled by the kid's intentions.
"Hehehe, a Marine Vice Admiral actually buying drinks for a wanted criminal like me? That's quite an honor."
Teach, without any hesitation, grabbed his glass, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful, wiping the liquor from his mouth. "So, what do you want?" he asked.
Luffy grinned at Blackbeard, lowering his voice. "Nothing much, just wondering if you're interested in taking down Whitebeard?"
"Pfft!!"
Teach spat out the rum he'd just drunk, spraying it all over the bar across from him.
He looked at Luffy like he was crazy. "Are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you're saying?"
Luffy tapped rhythmically on the bar counter. "What? Wasn't your original plan to use the capture of Ace to trigger a full-scale war between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Blackbeard Teach's fat face instantly darkened, his eyes turning like a venomous snake. "How did you know that!?"
This plan had only just been devised; besides his closest confidants, there was no way anyone else could have known about it.
"I not only know that, I also know you dream of Whitebeard's death," Luffy continued banging on the bar, each tap seeming to strike Teach's heart.
A fierce killing intent flashed in Teach's eyes. Did this guy even know the secret of his Dark-Dark Fruit?!
"Relax, don't be nervous. I'm just here to give you a heads-up," Luffy said with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the murderous aura.
"What suggestion?" Blackbeard suppressed his shock and asked calmly.
"Oh, it's simple. Just change the bargaining chip you used in your deal with the World Government." Luffy said casually.
Blackbeard's pupils constricted sharply: "You know who I'm planning to trade for the Shichibukai position?"
"Absolutely," Luffy nodded matter-of-factly, "Portgas D. Ace!"
Luffy paused, then leaned closer to Blackbeard's ear and whispered:
"That is, the son of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"
