Pirates Can Snatch People, But I, Marine, Can't?

For the murlocs' anger, Luo Lan remained unperturbed.

After washing the blood off his hands, he stood up slowly. Gently patting Nami's back, Luo Lan said with a relaxed tone, "Now that you're with me, you're my responsibility. I'll take care of your affairs, so don't resist. If you stay with these murlocs, you won't be able to leave unharmed."

Nami was infuriated and embarrassed. "What do you mean 'yours'? I don't agree to this!"

"It's not up for discussion," Luo Lan said calmly. "Just informing you."

"Hey, don't make decisions for me! I can protect Cocosia Village myself. Why risk angering the Dragon Pirates?"

Nami was exasperated. How had she ended up with someone so unreasonable? Even if the Evil Dragon wanted her as a navigator, he was using Cocosia Village as leverage.

But this person didn't even bother with negotiations—he simply took her without any chance for discussion.

"On my own merit?"

Luo Lan smiled. "Are you saying you plan to save up 100 million Berries to buy back Cocosia Village?"

"How do you know?" Nami was taken aback. This was a private agreement with the Evil Dragon that no one else should know about.

"That's not the point," Luo Lan said. "The real issue is why you think someone like the Evil Dragon would keep his promises?"

"He's aware of the money you're hiding in the orange orchard. He's waiting for you to save up 100 million so he can raise the stakes, forcing you to keep stealing."

Nami's face turned pale. She had never told anyone about the hidden money, but Luo Lan had mentioned it so casually. Did the Dragon really know?

Nami turned to the Evil Dragon in disbelief. "Is this true?"

The Evil Dragon's fierce look confirmed Luo Lan's words.

Nami realized the Dragon never intended to let Cocosia Village go, nor did he plan to let her go.

"You're a pirate, and I'm a Marine. I happened to be passing through and decided to eliminate you as a threat," Luo Lan said with a smile.

"Marine??" Nami was stunned. "So you're a Marine, yet you're robbing people in broad daylight?"

Luo Lan smiled lightly. "Pirates can rob, but Marines can't?"

"That's absurd..."

At that moment, Ah Jiu, a cadre of the Dragon Pirates, launched a surprise attack.

"Water Iron Cannon!"

The attack shot toward Luo Lan faster than a bullet.

"Careful!" Nami warned urgently.

She had seen the Evil Dragon's true nature and realized that saving Cocosia Village depended entirely on Luo Lan. If what he said was true, not only would Cocosia Village be saved, but also over 20 other villages in the Jumeta Islands. If Luo Lan was attacked, the whole Jumeta Islands would be in danger!

Luo Lan didn't dodge. Instead, he casually raised his left hand, his index finger slightly extended.

Whoosh!

Flying Finger Pistol!

Flying Finger Pistol was an advanced ability of the Finger Pistol technique. With Luo Lan's expertise, executing a Flying Finger Pistol was effortless.

The highly compressed air bullet shot out instantly, piercing through the Water Iron Cannon.

Boom!

The Water Iron Cannon exploded!

Puff!

Ah Jiu's body jerked violently as a round blood hole appeared in his forehead.

"Ah!"

The murloc closest to Ah Jiu screamed in terror.

"Don't be envious. There's enough for everyone~" Luo Lan said, pointing at the murlocs one by one with his fingers.

Not just his index finger—he rotated through thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.

"Sweet! It's probably like Duan Yu's six-veined sword~"

Luo Lan enjoyed himself, the Finger Pistol firing faster than any pistol.

A pistol needs reloading, but not this technique!

One finger, one target—every shot was a headshot!

Nami watched in awe.

"Good... awesome finger..."
