A thin - built guy stepped forward brandishing a knife, aiming to snatch Xia Luo's wallet.
As soon as Xia Luo saw someone coming up, the panic he'd just felt vanished immediately.
With a smirk on his face, he snatched the long knife from the thin - built guy's wrist.
"Ouch!"
Xia Luo didn't hold back when grabbing the knife. The huge force broke the thin - built guy's wrist directly.
"Hahaha! You guys are so unlucky to try robbing me!"
Xia Luo looked at the eight guys with a laugh. Oh! Only seven, as one was still under his foot.
"Boss, save me! Quick, save me!"
The thin - built guy named Vic yelled. Xia Luo's foot on his chest was like a vice, pinning him down and making it impossible for him to move.
"Hey! Let go of Vic right now!"
The leading fat guy, who had seemed so confident just a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression.
How could that seemingly weak teenager suddenly turn out like this?
Although what was happening in front of him was a bit unexpected, it was still within the fat guy's control.
Seven against one. The advantage is mine!
"Charge! Attack him! Kill him!"
Seeing that Xia Luo didn't heed his words, the fat guy immediately ordered his subordinates to rush towards Xia Luo with their knives raised.
Xia Luo didn't dodge when he saw this. Instead, he just stood there, smiling at these guys.
The fat guy and his six subordinates reached Xia Luo. When they saw that he still didn't react at all, they all grinned ferociously.
"Boy! You're being so shortsighted!"
Saying that, the fat guy raised his long knife and stabbed it into Xia Luo's abdomen.
But the expected sound of the knife piercing flesh didn't come. Instead, it was like the knife had hit steel.
Clang!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out.
The leading fat guy stared in shock at the place where his knife had stabbed. A layer of black substance had appeared there.
This was Armed Haki of Xia Luo covering his abdomen.
Xia Luo didn't say a word. He just stood there, smiling at the fat guy.
"You! You! You're a Devil Fruit user!"
The fat guy assumed Xia Luo was a Devil Fruit user since that was the only way to account for why the knife couldn't penetrate.
In the first half of the Grand Line, few people knew about Armed Haki, and obviously, this guy in front of him didn't either.
Xia Luo still didn't say a word. He just kept smiling at this ridiculous fat guy.
Seeing Xia Luo smiling at him, the fat guy, who had been panicked before, was suddenly filled with anger.
"Damn it! Even if you're a Devil Fruit user, there's nothing to fear. Guys, hack him to pieces!"
The fat guy gestured with his hand, and then brought his knife down again.
The six subordinates behind him also followed suit, raising their long knives and slashing at Xia Luo.
Xia Luo gave a faint smile. The next moment.
Armed Haki covered his whole body, turning him a purplish - black color.
Clang!
Clang clang!
Clang clang clang!
The sounds of swords and axes chopping rang out one after another.
Xia Luo just stood there quietly, letting them hack at him.
"Whew! Huff! Huff!"
True to his nature as a fat guy, after slashing his big knife a few times, he began gasping for breath and stopped.
After seeing their boss stop, the other minions also stopped one by one.
Everyone was looking at Xia Luo in shock.
There was also panic in their shocked eyes. After all, they had launched an attack on him!
Seeing the seven of them stop, Xia Luo gently moved his neck and smiled at everyone.
"Since you've all stopped, it's my turn now!"
A cruel look emerged on Xia Luo's face as he smiled.
Xia Luo applied a bit of force on the thin guy under his feet.
There was a cracking sound!
The fat guy and the six minions all looked over.
The thin guy's sternum caved in, and all his ribs were broken. He kept spurting blood from his mouth, staring at Xia Luo with his eyes wide open.
Then his head tilted and he lost his breath.
"Oh! What a pity. He died. Then it's up to you to amuse me!"
Xia Luo spread his arms and showed a strange smile at the seven of them.
When they came into contact with Xia Luo, he could sense the darkness in these people's hearts.
Kidnapping children, capturing slaves, ruining families... In short, they had committed all sorts of heinous deeds, and that's not all. The fat guy was actually a big shot in his own right!
Moreover, it was someone Xia Luo never anticipated.
It turned out that the mayor of Water 7 was backing these gangs.
Xia Luo was not a trial judge, nor did he have the inclination to bother about their trivial matters. But if they provoked him, then sorry, you were doomed!
"Quick! Run away!"
Finally, someone came to their senses, and they all started running out as fast as they could.
They didn't even care about their boss.
Shave!
Kazeashi!
Xia Luo tapped his toes and soared into the air. Several tiny slashes emanated from his feet and directly sliced the six fleeing people in half at the waist.
Xia Luo decided to sentence them to Execution by Cutting in Half at the Waist.
Those subjected to this punishment would not die immediately. They would experience the agony of living a fate worse than death before they perished.
The fat guy who was falling behind saw the people in front of him, who were running faster, being cut in half, and he was immediately so terrified that he froze on the spot.
Then he immediately turned around, looked at Xia Luo and knelt down.
"Spare my life! I'll never dare again. It's my fault for being blind and offending you, sir! Please spare my life. I can give you all my berries! Please spare my life!"
The fat guy's huge body knelt in front of Xia Luo and kept kowtowing.
Xia Luo landed and walked slowly towards the fat guy.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of his footsteps on the floor was very crisp.
As soon as the fat guy looked up, he saw Xia Luo standing in front of him.
Scared, he quickly lowered his head and kowtowed hard on the ground.
"Spare you? Do you think I'll let you off just because you have less than four hundred thousand berries? Where did you get the audacity?"
Xia Luo bent down, stared at the fat guy and said playfully.
"What! You! You! How do you know?" The fat guy looked at Xia Luo in horror. How did he know he only had four hundred thousand berries!
"Hahaha!"
Xia Luo didn't answer him. Instead, he raised his foot and kicked the fat guy in the face.
Instead of beating him to death, Xia Luo simply knocked out all of the fat man's teeth.
Teeth mixed with blood scattered on the ground.
"Woo woo woo!"
The intense pain made the fat man curl up.
He stretched out a hand, wanting Xia Luo to spare him.
But as soon as the fat man stretched out his hand, Xia Luo kicked it off at once.
"Don't touch me! I think you're dirty!"
Xia Luo said mercilessly.
Then Xia Luo picked up the long knife on the ground. A flash of the blade.
"Ah!"
Xia Luo chopped off the fat man's limbs, turning him into a human stick!
"I won't kill you. I'll make you live in fear for the rest of your life!"
Xia Luo dropped the long knife and walked out of the alley.
In the alley, there were only seven corpses and the wailing of a man left.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
After Xia Luo left the alley, there was a round of applause behind him.
"As expected of a big-time pirate with a bounty of 950 million. Your methods are so cruel!"
