Everyone hiding in their homes and observing Xia Luo gritted their teeth in anger.
In their eyes, it was highly likely that the baby had stopped crying because the pirate in front of them had killed it.
After all, in their eyes, pirates are cruel and heartless.
Xia Luo's hand stroked the baby, which made him think of his two-year-old daughter, Aisideisi!
"There, there! Don't cry!"
After comforting the baby, Xia Luo turned around and left, no longer paying attention to the baby.
Xia Luo came to the center of the street and looked around.
Almost everyone was peeping at what was happening through the cracks in their doors or windows.
They were all eager to see what this big-time pirate named Xia Luo was going to do.
Xia Luo took a deep breath.
"Everyone, listen up! Immediately send ten ship coaters to do ship coating for my ship, or I'll massacre this island!"
Xia Luo casually released a bit of his [Conqueror's Haki], not using it all, just to intimidate them.
This wave of [Conqueror's Haki] made ordinary people's faces change as if someone had grabbed their throats.
Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to say a word.
Xia Luo frowned slightly. Using his [Observation Haki], he saw the expressions of everyone around him.
They all deliberately turned a blind eye as if nothing was happening.
Whoosh!
Xia Luo directly drew the long sword from his waist and then waved his arm.
A Sword Slash shot out and swept along the end of the street.
Wherever the qi of the sword passed, whether it was the floor tiles on the street or the shops on the side, they were all destroyed by this wave of qi.
After the qi of the sword passed, the ground looked like it had been plowed.
Finally, this Sword Slash hit a building at the end of the street.
The building was instantly shattered, and the house collapsed directly.
Everyone hiding inside was buried alive without exception.
The reason why Xia Luo swung this sword was twofold.
Firstly, he wanted to intimidate these people and make them obediently do ship coating for his ship.
Secondly, the people hiding in the building were actually using a [Den Den Mushi], and from their words, it seemed they were spies of the [World Government].
Of course, Xia Luo would kill these spies whenever he encountered them.
"I'll say it one more time. Immediately send ten ship coaters to do ship coating for my ship, or I'll massacre this island. My patience is limited!"
Xia Luo's cold voice spread throughout the area.
Everyone was frightened by Xia Luo's words and didn't dare to come out.
Xia Luo's frown deepened.
"Are you really that ungrateful?"
Just as Xia Luo was about to take further action,
A voice rang out.
"Wait! I'll do ship coating for your ship. Please spare these townspeople."
The voice came from behind Xia Luo and his crew members.
Xia Luo turned to look, and so did the crew members.
This voice also caught the attention of others.
"Huh? Conan? Why did he come out?"
Apparently, some of the townspeople knew him.
Xia Luo looked over and saw a young man walking out, carrying a bucket and a brush in his hand.
"You! Can you do ship coating?"
Xia Luo looked at the young man in disbelief.
"Yes! Ship coating is a hereditary skill in my family. I've done ship coating for many people."
Konan said with a nervous expression.
"Just you alone?"
Xia Luo continued to ask.
Hearing this, Konan nodded.
"Yes! Just me alone!"
Seeing that only this young man was willing to do the coating work, Xia Luo had no other choice.
Is he really going to massacre the entire island?
Although Xia Luo had killed many people before.
He had never actively killed civilians.
Perhaps there were times when civilians were accidentally hurt. After all, those who could fight with Xia Luo were basically good fighters, and the aftermath of the battle might affect these civilians.
Xia Luo could only express his apology for that, and he wouldn't have any other emotions after that.
Xia Luo usually killed soldiers, nobles, and merchants.
Sometimes when doing tasks, he would also kill some kings, but not many.
In fact, if you really thought about it, the number of people who died at his hands was quite small. Basically, it was his subordinates who did the killing, and he was only responsible for taking out the tough ones.
But there were really few such tough ones.
Only those who didn't know their place and came to provoke him would he take care of them casually.
"Alright then! If you coat my ship well, I'll spare the people on this island."
Xia Luo promised.
"Is that true?"
Konan asked uncertainly.
Right after he asked this question, Konan immediately regretted it.
"Damn it! Who do you think our captain is? How dare you doubt the captain! I think you're just asking for death, right?"
Before Xia Luo could say a word, Paul couldn't hold back his anger and stepped forward.
Seeing Paul step forward, Xia Luo couldn't help but give him an invisible thumbs - up in his mind.
The reason he took in little brothers was for them to speak up for the boss and solve problems for the boss at critical moments.
Hearing what this man said, Konan's face instantly changed. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly waved his hands.
"No! It's not like that! You've misunderstood!"
Seeing that he kept waving his hands and trying to say something, but due to his poor speaking skills, he couldn't get the words out.
"Alright! Go and do the coating. I won't go back on my word about what I promised you!"
Xia Luo waved his hand and stepped forward to say.
After hearing Xia Luo's words, Konan nodded happily.
"Come on! Go and coat my ship!"
Now that they had found a coating expert, Xia Luo had no mood to stay here any longer. He led his little brothers out of the town.
All that was left was a mess.
After Xia Luo and his men left, a long time passed.
A heart - rending cry rang out.
"Child! My child!"
A woman rushed out from a corner in a hurry, ran to the cradle, and looked at her child.
"Alas! Poor child of hers! These damned pirates"
After hearing the woman's cries, many people also walked out slowly. A few well - dressed merchants couldn't help but let out a sigh when they saw this scene, and then scolded angrily.
Of course, they only dared to talk behind their backs!
"Ah! Ahh!"
Maybe the woman's movements were too big and woke up the child!
The child couldn't help but cry.
Seeing that her child was alive, the woman suddenly broke into a surprised smile.
"Haha! My child isn't dead! Isn't dead!"
The woman couldn't help but shout and then kissed the child a few times.
Seeing this, the merchant who had been feigning pity just now immediately shut his mouth awkwardly and fell silent.
Xia Luo stopped paying attention to what was going on in the town and brought the young ship - caulker to his own pirate ship.
"How about it! How long will it take?"
Xia Luo looked at the young man and asked.
"Uh! It'll take about two days!"
Conan looked at the huge pirate ship in front of him and replied uncertainly.
After all, a fifty - meter - long ship was regarded as a big one.
You know, ordinary ships were usually between twenty and thirty meters long.
This fifty - meter - long ship was a bit beyond what he had imagined.
"Alright! Two days it is. If you have any helpers, call them over. I'll give you three million berries. I want to see results within two days, or else... Well, you know what I mean!"
Xia Luo looked at the young man in front of him and threatened him.
