Chapter 9: Panther Pirates

"The Panther Pirates are stationed in the center of the town, you can find them there." said the random man tremblingly, who was in the corner of the tavern.

"Yes, thank you so much." Lucifer got the information he wanted and left the tavern.

As they watched Lucifer leave the tavern, many people in the tavern finally breathed a sigh of relief. They sat down on the floor, drenched in sweat and looking exhausted and panting heavily.

Lucifer placed too much pressure on them. Swept by Lucifer's eyes, everyone's body was trembling, as if they were about to die at any moment.

"Who is this young man?"

"Have you heard of him?"

"I don't know, but his strength is unfathomable."

"That guy is a monster, on the same level as those monsters in the sea."

"He said he was going to kill Renald, right? Who do you think would win?"

"Would you like to go and see? The battle between them must be very exciting."

"Okay, let's go together."

Almost half of the people in the tavern left quietly, following Lucifer to the center of town. They all want to know if Lucifer can defeat Renald.

Meanwhile, the tavern owner who was wiping the glass didn't join in the fun. He just tore off a wanted poster on the wall behind him.

On the wanted poster is a photo of Renald, the captain of the Panther Pirates, with a bounty of 230 million berries.

In the [Paradise], the amount of this bounty is like an [Emperor] in the [New World], almost like dominance, but in the [New World], this bounty amount is just so-so, and the action of the tavern owner is very obvious.

In this battle, Renald will surely lose and die, and for a person who is about to die, there is no point in posting the wanted poster on the wall.

...

The town is not too big, and Lucifer soon came to the center of the town.

Outside the three-story building, 20 or 30 pirates sat together near the gate and were drinking and eating, and some were cleaning their swords. On the left and right sides of the gate, there are many dead bodies of pirates.

Passersby are afraid to approach the building because it's the territory of the Panther Pirates.

There are many pirate groups everywhere on Fajru Island, but the strongest are undoubtedly the Panther Pirates. Those who dare to offend them will become one of these dead bodies at the gate.

Seeing Lucifer approaching, the pirate who was guarding the gate suddenly said, "Hey, brat, this is not the place for you—"

"[Swords Storm]"

Before the pirate finished speaking, a long sword pierced the pirate's throat. At the same time, as the pirate's body fell, a storm of swords fell from the sky.

*PUFF*

*PUFF*

*PUFF*

*PUFF*

In just an instant, the pirates who were guarding the gate were all tragically dead.

"ENEMY ATTACK!! INTRUDER!!" A pirate who survived by chance shouted loudly, and while hissing and screaming, he rushed crawlingly inside the building.

Meanwhile, outside the building, the people who're following Lucifer were hiding in the dark and watching, and when they saw Lucifer kill many pirates without saying a word, their legs immediately trembled unknowingly.

…

Inside the building, the captain of the Panther Pirates, Renald, is having a party with his crew. He sat on the main seat with two beauties in both of his arms.

One of the beautiful women fed him meat, while the other woman poured him a glass of rum. Coupled with the flattery of his crew, Renald's life is like a paradise.

Unfortunately, the sudden scream disturbed his paradisiacal life.

"Captain, someone was intruding on our base." said the pirate tremblingly, who rushed into the main hall.

"What? Who dares to trespass on my territory?" Renald roared furiously and pushed the two beauties in his arms aside, grabbed the pirate's clothes, and asked a series of questions, "Who is here? How many people are there? And how about my crew guarding the gate?"

"No, captain, he's alone, and the guards... dead... they're all dead!" replied the pirate in a frightened tone and continued, "Th.... that guy is a monster!"

"You mean there is only one enemy?"

"Ye..yes"

"Are you kidding me?" asks Renald in disbelief, and he continues, "How much does he look down on me to dare to break into my base camp alone?"

However, before he could ask another question, two figures suddenly smashed the window from the outside, and some of the pirates who couldn't dodge in time were bumped together by the two figures.

Renald took a closer look and saw that there were two dead bodies as well as his crew.

*TAP*

*TAP*

*TAP*

Suddenly, footsteps resounded in the hall, and all the pirates in the main hall vigilantly grabbed their weapons and fixed their eyes on the entrance of the hall.

This is the lair of their Panther Pirates, and there are hundreds of them. How can they be afraid of one person?

Finally, Lucifer appeared in the eyes of many pirates and Renald at the entrance of the hall.

"Yo~ why didn't you guys invite me to your party?" said Lucifer playfully while looking around the main hall.
