....
"Can't even touch the threshold to see him?"
"hateful."
"It's really frustrating!"
Looking at the Terminator T-X Units holding plasma cannons so close to him, Capone Bege showed a trace of sadness and unwillingness on his face.
He thought of the bold words he had said in the western restaurant not long ago.
Speaking of the West Blue, there is only one mafia godfather, and that is him, Capone Bege.
Now what?
The so-called mafia godfather is about to be found dead on the street.
All this happened because of Rosen's order.
At this moment, Capone Bege understood Douglas Bullet's words from the bottom of his heart.
It turned out that he, the powerful mafia godfather in the West Blue, really didn't even have the opportunity to meet Rosen.
sniff
Bang Bang
A golden light flashed and electric current surged.
Five plasma cannons simultaneously struck Capone Bege's face, submerging his entire head in golden energy.
snap
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a bloody and headless corpse collapsed forever on the street.
"From now on, there won't just be one mafia godfather in the West Blue. Instead, there will only be one voice in the West Blue, whether on land or at sea."
"That's it."
"Rosen's voice."
Douglas Bullet glanced at Capone Bege's headless body and turned away.
The surrounding Terminator T-X Units teams immediately followed.
Whether to the Devil's Descendants or to the Terminator T-X Units Team, Capone Bege is just another member of their mission.
The five major mafia groups.
There are also pirate groups active in the West Blue
They were all the targets of their raid.
As the first secret special forces, they will not stop their actions until the West Blue is cleared.
This is the so-called secret special forces "Bullet".
An army composed of Douglas Bullet and the various types of Terminators he created using the Fusion Fruit.
Having experienced betrayal many times, he cannot trust anyone except Rosen.
Therefore, the Terminator created by him using the power of the fruit, who is absolutely loyal, fearless, and has the ability to think, is the best member of the secret special forces.
No logistical supplies are required.
No weapons or equipment are required.
No need to worry about betrayal and casualties.
As long as there are materials, Douglas Bullet can use the fusion fruit to create an endless army of Terminators at any time.
If he himself is the strongest bullet in Rosen's hand, then the secret special forces composed of different types of Terminators are the strongest bullet of the 1st Branch.
boom
A moment later.
The sound of an engine roaring was heard.
Immediately following.
A huge transport plane flew away from the island where the two West Blue Mafia godfathers were buried and continued to the location of the next Mafia group headquarters.
Before the sentence "There will only be one voice in the West Blue, that is Rosen's voice" was fully implemented and became a fact known to everyone in this sea.
The Demon's Heir and his secret special forces "Bullets" will not stop fighting.
…
East Blue
The rain covered the sky and poured down, soaking the village of Cocoyasi and extinguishing the fire of hope in Bell-mère's heart.
She was walking alone, in the heavy rain, with a dull expression.
She has visited every household in Cocoyasi Village, but still cannot raise the 200,000 berries.
To this.
Bell-mère did not hate anyone. Even if he had to hate someone, it would be the Arlong Pirates who invaded Cocoa Village and demanded money from every villager to save their lives.
One adult, 100,000 berries.
One child, 50,000 berries.
Cocoyasi Village is just an ordinary little fishing village in the East Blue. It is often robbed by pirates. Where does it get so many savings?
Take Bell-mère himself for example. After so many years of savings, he only has a little over 100,000 berries.
Other families are not much better.
With everyone having to pay for their lives, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village were already overwhelmed. Some of them even stopped considering whether they could have food tomorrow. They gritted their teeth and took out all their money, sold everything they could, and lent it to Bell-mère.
However,
Still not enough 200,000 berries.
After all, the Arlong Pirates only gave them one week to raise the money.
The villagers of Cocoyasi Village had no time to go out to sea to seek help from the Marine, or to sell their property to people overseas.
"Bell-mère."
"Very good."
"I've borrowed the money. Here's 80,000 berries. Counting the 120,000 berries you have, it's exactly 200,000 berries."
At this time.
A man in a police uniform stopped him and took out a stack of berries from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Genzo."
Bell-mère looked at the 80,000 berries that Genzo handed to him. His face did not show the excitement of surviving the disaster. Instead, his face, which had already been wet by the rain, was covered with two lines of tears.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you that when you tell a lie your eyes automatically turn downwards?"
"What do you mean by borrowing money? No one has money, so where can we get the money to lend you?"
"This is your own life-saving money!"
Bell-mère slapped Genzo in the face.
"…"
Genzo was silent.
There is no Marine branch in Cocoyasi Village, only one guard, and that is him.
However, he is not a scum like Captain Nezumi. Instead, he is loyal to his duties and carries out his work as a guard to the end.
His savings were only about the same as Bell-mère's.
Just over 100,000 berries.
In other words, he was planning to sacrifice himself in exchange for Bell-mère's survival.
"Take it!"
"You still have Nami and Nojiko."
"I can't die here."
Genzo said in a deep voice.
"I can't die here?"
"Hehehe!"
"Genzo, then tell me, who else deserves to die here?"
Bell-mère asked back with tears in his eyes.
"…"
Genzo was silent.
"If I have to step on your corpse to survive, I would rather die at the hands of Arlong."
Bell-mère's tone was extremely firm.
"You're dead."
"Where are Nojiko and Nami?"
"They are so young, can you bear to let them lose their mother?"
Genzo took a deep breath.
"They lost their mother, but they still have you as their father, right?"
As soon as Bell-mère said this, Genzo's eyes turned red instantly.
This moment.
Even a seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but shed tears.
This moment.
He really hated it. Why would scum like the Arlong Pirates, no, fish scum, come to the East Blue?
These fishmen have clearly been imprisoned, so how could they be released?
This moment.
He really hated himself for being so useless that he couldn't even protect Bell-mère.
"Promise me."
"If I really die at the hands of Arlong, you must take good care of Nami and Nojiko."
"Especially Nami, she's stubborn and I'm afraid she'll do something stupid."
Bell-mère tried hard to make herself laugh. She didn't want anyone to see her crying, which would make Genzo more miserable.
She had decided that she must smile happily before returning home to see Nami and Nojiko.
Since today is the last day to raise money, I should spend the last day of my life with my two daughters with a smile on my face.
"you."
The more Genzo listened, the more heartbroken he felt.
But just when both of them were feeling suffocated by the money for their lives, they suddenly saw a villager beating drums and gongs and roaring at the same time, his voice full of joy and excitement of surviving the disaster.
"Everyone, don't worry about the money for your life anymore."
"So those who can't raise enough money to buy their lives don't need to worry about losing their families or their lives anymore."
"Listen to me."
"Marine!"
"Marine!"
"The Marine is coming!"
…
He walked through the streets and alleys of Cocoyasi Village, shouting at the top of his lungs, wanting to share this good news with all the villagers as quickly as possible.
"What?"
"The Marine is coming?"
Bell-mère, who had already prepared himself to die, and Genzo, who was suffering from the pain of losing his beloved, were both stunned.
