Chapter 17

"Take this last treasure to find everyone in the town. This store is not the only treasure your master left in the world.——"

Lot raised his hand and touched Xiuxiu's head. The latter did not resist and let him touch her.

This scene shocked the mayor's uncle. He knew very well that Xiuxiu had not let strangers touch him since the death of Xiuxiu's master.

"..."

After Xiuxiu was silent for a while, she suddenly stood up and picked up the bag of rations, then turned around and took steps.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and called Lott"woof". This time, his tail also started to wag.

"Looks like you've cheered up!"

From the dog's barking, Lott heard that it had finally made up its mind to move on, and immediately gave it a thumbs up.

"Woof woof!!"

The puppy barked twice more, then turned around and took steps again, and its direction was the refuge of the town residents.

"I never thought you had such a gentle side."

Seeing that the puppy finally left and no longer stayed in front of the ruined store, Nami smiled happily, then came up and patted Lot on the back.

"And – please forgive me for yelling at you before…"

"Ha—it doesn't matter. The person closest to you was killed by pirates, right? So you should hate pirates so much."

Rotte smiled noncommittally. Although the following words were questions, his tone was affirmative.

"I won't ask you what happened, and I won't let you view my identity as a pirate in a special way. After all, in a sense, I did betray you."

Nami"….."

After Lot said to Nami, without waiting for the latter's response, he walked up to Luffy and said:

"We are on this island only because you, an idiot, were so stupid that you were caught by a bird. Now we will be together and can continue to set off for the Grand Line."

"etc!

Nami's expression changed,"Are you planning to leave just like that?"!"

Women are all emotional.

Her own experience makes it impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the tragedy of this town, but she cannot fight against the Bucky Pirates alone, so deep down in her heart she hopes that Lot will stay. To help this island, even if she doesn't fight against the Bucky Pirates, it would be good to help them leave.

But what reason should she use to convince Lot?

A friend's request?

No, let's not talk about the time when she met her now. In fact, they were all the ones who were taken care of. The first time they were about to die, they were saved by Lot. After that, they went back to bother him every time they passed by Green Island.

She couldn't bear to face this request, and she was with someone who looked very strong. Opposing the Bucky Pirates is life-threatening.

Moral kidnapping?

This is the last thing she disdains to do.

She is greedy for life and afraid of death, but she also has her own bottom line!

"Stop talking, little girl, this is my business. You should leave quickly.——"

As he spoke, the mayor's uncle showed a look of despair,"I can't bear it anymore after seeing Xiuxiu's miserable situation!"

"This town was built bit by bit by everyone and me!!"

"The townsfolk and the town are my treasures!"

"What kind of pirate am I if I can't protect my town?!!"

"I want to fight to the end!!"

The more the mayor spoke, the more excited he became, with an impassioned expression.

"..."

Indifferent to the mayor's uncle's speech, Lot still looked at Luffy seriously:"So what's your decision, Captain?""

"snort——"

Luffy moved, as if about to stand up, but just when he was about to say something, Lot's expression suddenly changed.

Because – according to the report from his clone who stayed with the Bucky Pirates, that clown Bucky fired in this direction!! And the gunpowder has already been ignited!!

"careful!!"

There was no time to explain. Lot could only kick Luffy away. Then he held Nami's delicate body with one hand, lifted the old man's back collar with the other, and jumped back as fast as possible. The next moment ——Boom

——

Boom!!

After the sound of an object passing by at high speed, there was a violent explosion. The air waves and dust caused caused Lott and others to be unable to open their eyes for a while and couldn't see clearly what happened!

But they knew clearly , if it wasn't Lot, they would have been bombed in the flight path of the artillery shell!!

After a moment, when the noise subsided, when he saw the house that had been bombed into ruins, the mayor's expression changed drastically:"Put it away My house exploded!!"

"ah!!"

"Zoro is still sleeping inside!!"

Luffy also looked panicked, because that house was the house where Zoro rested!

When Lot kicked him in the face, he wanted to ask him why he kicked him for no reason!

It left a mark on his face There was a dark shoe print, which was really unsightly!

But after the bomb went off, he understood Lot's original intention. What he had to worry about now was the injured Zoro sleeping there!

——

"Keep reloading!!"

As soon as the bullet was fired, Bucky the Clown did not stop there, but ordered his men to continue reloading. He was going to blow the town into rubble!

"yes!"

The two pirates responsible for loading immediately took action and ran towards the rack where the shells were stored, but just when their hands were about to touch, a strange voice came into their ears.

"Water escape! Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"'

"Wow!"

With a crash, a strong current suddenly hit them and blew them away, along with the pile of cannonballs.

"Damn bastard! Bucky was furious,"

You actually destroyed all my precious special Bucky bullets!" I can't spare you!"

The cannonball that fell on the ground has been soaked with water, and it is impossible to use it in a short time.

He turned to look at the strange figure who suddenly appeared on the roof,"It's a person with abilities who ate the devil fruit. Come on, watch me dye your nose red!"

Although he didn't know how this man suddenly appeared on the roof, he saw that the water that destroyed his cannonball was ejected from the mouth of the man in front of him.

In this world, only those with abilities can do it. Something happened.

His men reacted very quickly, and immediately took out their swords and guns and pointed them at the suddenly appearing figure.

"There's nothing you can do. You almost blew away 'me' over there with just one shot~"

Being pointed at by a bunch of guns and targeted by a Devil Fruit user, Lott raised his hand helplessly. He made a gesture of surrender.

I have to say that this guy is really lucky.

He could see clearly in the room on one side. This red nose just wanted to blow up the town and had no idea what was happening on the other side of the body. In the end, he just turned the muzzle casually and aimed at the main body.

So he didn't dare to let Red Nose continue to fire. Who knows where the next shot will be aimed.

"Knowing how powerful I am, just raise your hands and surrender! Are you from Roronoa Zoro's side? If you don't want to die, tell me his specific location!"

Although I don't know what the person in front of me means by blowing 'me' away, I know that it probably means that the shot he just fired caused trouble to the other party, so Bucky immediately became proud of himself.

"That seems really sorry——"

Lot shook his head and said in a relaxed tone:"I don't want to die, and I don't want to tell you the location of my partner, Red Nose.——" bucky"??"

Red nose?

He called me red nose?!!

"Fire me up!!"

Stimulated by Lot's last three words, Bucky instantly lost his mind and roared at his men.
