Chapter 94: Tashigi's Misunderstood Power;

...

4/5

...

At the port of Warship Island, several warships are docked side by side along the shore.

And on a warship in the middle.

The fat Commodore Nelson sat on his throne, frowning and looking at the distant sea, anxiously waiting for the return of the treasure hunter.

Beside him, Eric, a mercenary in a suit, looked at the residents of Warship Island who were brought to the warship by Nelson's order.

What the two of them and the Marines didn't notice was that.

Just a minute ago, Rifan had sneaked into the watchtower of the warship with Tashigi and Carina.

At this moment, the three of them were standing on the watchtower and observing the situation on the deck below.

As for the soldiers stationed on the watchtower, they were naturally brought down by Rifan.

"Damn it, what happened to those treasure hunters?"

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

"Why did the call come through, but no one answered?!"

Suddenly, Nelson threw the red wine glass in his hand to the ground, roaring and cursing.

This scene was also watched by Rifan and others who were in an invisible state.

"Don't worry, 'Admiral', maybe they just encountered some extremely short weather."

"So it's not convenient to get through to your call now."

Eric, the mercenary and sickle devil fruit user, said calmly while arranging his hair.

"Hmph, I can't wait any longer."

"You come here, shoot a civilian on the warship island in the next ten minutes."

"Until the treasure hunters come back."

"If all these people are dead, then go to Warship Island to catch more civilians."

Nelson snorted coldly, dragged his fat body to stand up from his seat, and walked to the civilians on the island of the warship kneeling on the deck.

"Let's start with you."

Nelson drew his pistol, stood one meter away from an old man among the civilians and pointed it at his head.

"Damn it, stop it!"

Seeing this, Tashigi no longer cared about hiding, and jumped directly from the watchtower, landing between Nelson and the civilians of Warship Island.

"This gitl is still so excited."

Rifan shook his head and murmured in a low voice.

"Tashigi is a kind girl, there is nothing she can do about it."

Carina said with a chuckle.

Carina has seen Tashigi's kindness since Tashigi helped her and Abis escape from the navy.

So she was not surprised by Tashigi's behavior at the moment.

Meanwhile, the other side.

"who?!"

Startled by Tashigi's presence, Nelson unconsciously pulls the trigger and fires a bullet.

Fortunately, due to excessive fright, this blow was not accurate at all.

The bullet flew past Tashigi and landed on the deck of the Marine.

This made Rifan, who originally planned to use the flying Finger Pistol to intercept the bullet, stop what he was doing, and continued to choose to hide with Carina.

Rifan thought very simply, since Tashigi has gone out.

Then let her learn more about Nelson.

The sickle fruit ability user Eric and everyone were attracted by Tashigi who suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and they all looked over with frowns.

Eric, who has a more cautious personality, even raised his head to look in the direction where Tashigi fell.

But at this moment Carina has unfolded the color fruit to make her and Rifan transparent.

Eric naturally found nothing.

"You woman, who are you, why are you here?!"

After seeing the surrounding sailors aiming their weapons at Tashigi, Nelson's surprise slowed down a little, and he yelled at Tashigi sharply.

"I am Marine Ueda Tashigi, a subordinate of Colonel Smoker in Logue Town."

"Commodore Nelson, as a Marine, how can you do anything to innocent civilians!?"

Tashigi clenched his fists and asked Admiral Nelson harshly.

"Are you Marine?"

"Why does the Marine in Logue town appear here?"

Nelson frowned, clearly not believing what Tashigi said.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter how you got here, and it doesn't matter who you are."

"Since you disturb me, you can die here."

Nelson raised his hand and waved to the sailors on the side.

With the signal, the soldiers who aimed their guns at Tashigi pulled the triggers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless black bullets flew out of the barrel, aiming at Tashigi.

At this moment, Tashigi didn't have a sword in her hand, and she was at a loss for a moment when facing the bullets coming down.

Rifan, who was hidden in the watchtower, was speechless seeing her standing there like a statue, and popped out the flying Finger Pistol corresponding to the bullet.

The invisible flying Finger Pistol is more powerful than bullets.

After colliding with the bullet, the bullet was actually inserted directly into the deck.

"What? What happened?!"

Nelson's eyes widened when he saw that Tashigi was safe and sound.

"The bullets fell into the deck, is this woman a devil fruit user?"

The mercenary Eric pushed his sunglasses and looked at Tashigi with interest.

"Devil fruit power?" Nelson frowned, "Damn woman, do you think you can thwart my plan to find the Millennium Dragon with this ability?!"

"Everyone, kill her!"

Facing his order, the Marine soldiers could only choose to obey the order.

But this time, before they even pulled the trigger, they felt a breathtaking aura descending from the sky and covering them.

And all the Marine soldiers with guns aimed at Tashigi rolled their eyes and fainted on the deck.

Tashigi blinked, looking at this extremely familiar scene.

"What's going on, you woman, what method did you use?!"

Because of Rifan's precise control over Conqueror's Haki.

Nelson wasn't affected by Rifan's Conqueror's Haki, so had no idea what was going on, and thought it was Tashigi using her Devil Fruit's ability.

"It's kind of interesting, even I didn't see it clearly."

"It seems that this woman is a powerful devil fruit user."

Eric pulled his hands out of his pants, and looked at Tashigi with serious eyes.

"What? Even you didn't understand?! "

Nelson looked at Eric in shock.

You know, in his eyes, Eric beside him is stronger than the team of treasure hunters he hired.

Thinking of this, Nelson rolled his eyes, and his expression instantly became milder.

"Haha, misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding."

"Little girl, you are a Marine."

"You misunderstood me. How could I attack civilians?"

"I am Commodore Nelson of the 8th Branch of East Blue."

"Come here, I can explain it to you."

Nelson laughed and waved to Tashigi with a gentle face.

Tashigi looked at the civilians who were tied up behind her, and then at Nelson in front of her.

And she didn't believe what Nelson said.

However, just when she wanted to refute and question Nelson.

Behind her, a Marine dressed as a civilian rushed to Tashigi's side and put a pair of seastone bracelets on her hand.

"what?!"

Tashigi opened her eyes slightly, and immediately wanted to punch the soldier behind her.

However, Eric suddenly appeared beside her and put his hand on Tashigi's neck...

"I advise you to stay still, little girl."

"I ate the sickle fruit."

"As long as I wave my arm lightly, I can swing a sharp wind blade."

"If you don't want your head to fall to the ground, just stay still."

After Eric finished speaking, he raised his other hand and waved towards the distance.

And a wind blade flew out, directly splitting a hole along the side of the boat.

"You bastard Eric, don't do anything to my ship!? "

Nelson snarled and stepped over to Tashigi's side.

"And you, don't be a hero if you don't have the ability."

"I don't care if you are a Marine or not, as long as you stand in the way of my search for immortality, I will eradicate you!"

"Aren't you trying to save these lowlife lives?"

"In this case, I will let you feel your powerlessness!"

As Nelson spoke, he waved to the soldiers in the distance.

The sailors who received the order immediately understood what Nelson meant, and ran quickly behind every villager of the warship island who was bound and kneeling on the ground.

And put the rifle in their hands on the back of their heads.

And all the villagers showed despairing expressions.

"Stop it, they are all innocent, how can you do this!?"

Tashigi yelled at Nelson angrily, but under Eric's control, she was powerless to resist.

"I should have said just now that everyone who stands in front of me is my enemy."

"I wanted to kill these guys one by one."

"But you disturbed my interest, so I'm going to get rid of them all at once."

"After that, just go to the island to catch more."

After Nelson finished speaking, he turned his head and gave his soldiers a look.

"No! Help them, Rifaaann!"

Seeing that all the Marine soldiers had put their fingers on the triggers of their rifles, Tashigi quickly raised her head to look at the watchtower.

"Helper?"

Eric frowned, and immediately raised his head to look at the sky.

But before he raised his head completely, he felt a gravity fall on his head.

The powerful force brought Eric's body to hit the deck heavily.

Before he could even see clearly who attacked him, he completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

The sudden occurrence of situation made everyone on the scene stunned for an instant.

Eric who stared blankly to the end, and Rifan who suddenly appeared beside Eric and knocked him unconscious.

"Tashigi, now, it's time for you to face reality."

"This fat man named Nelson is indeed not a good Marine."

"Also, didn't we agree before that I will bring you here, and you will obey my arrangement honestly?"

Rifan rubbed his fist that knocked Eric unconscious, and turned to look at Tashigi.

"I'm sorry Rifan, I'll apologize however you want in the future."

"Can you help them now?"

Tashigi looked at the civilians whose guns were held to their heads by the sailors and shouted anxiously to Rifan.

Originally, Nelson planned to execute civilians one by one to pass the time.

But because of Tashigi's appearance, Nelson now plans to execute all the civilians who are brought on the warship together at the same time.

From Tashigi's point of view, such a situation is entirely her fault.

Tashigi doesn't want this to happen anyway.

But she also understands that even seastone handcuffs have no effect on her.

But when all the civilians were held to their heads with guns at close range, except for Rifan, no one at the scene was able to save them safely.

"Rifan?! Wait, you are the big pirate 'Black Mist' Rifan who offered a reward of 300 million Berry?!"
