I Can Only Count 3_1
“For free?”
Kuro looked over in surprise. “Are all New World people so bold?”
“Hehehehe…”
Angus opened the hammer with his fingers and aimed the gun at Kuro’s temple and said, “I am very honest in doing business. Your life, in exchange for your fur, your clothes, and the knife on your waist, it is a good deal.”
“You miss me so much…”
Kuro nodded and looked at the others. “Speaking of which, even if you get it, can you snatch it from these people?”
“Hahaha, where do you think this is?”
Angus smiled and said: “This is the ‘Illegal Kingdom’ Krane, whether it is pirates or us, you can do whatever you want here, but you have to follow the rules. I make the first move, then you are mine.”
“Give it to him…”
Boss Dick said in a low voice, “I advise you to give it to him if you don’t want to die.”
“Yes, leave it to me in exchange for your life.”
Angus chuckled and leaned the pistol against Kuro’s head.
At the same time, he took out a cigar box from his arms and stretched it out for his underlings to open. One of them was about to take out a cigar and put it in Angus’s mouth.
Chi!
At this moment, a black light lit up around them, illuminating the dark tavern.
At the same time that the black light flashed, Angus and his little brother were directly separated from their chests into two halves. A large amount of blood rushed backward, dyeing the floor red.
Snap.
Kuro took the cigar box that fell from the air and sat down on the seat in front of the bar.
“In other words, if I kill you, I will be the first to kill you, and your things will also be mine?”
He took out a cigar from the cigar box and put it in his mouth without looking at the body on the ground. “Forget it, you can’t hear it anyway, so you tacitly agree.”
“Hey, boss, this fur is for you. The cleaning fee is included. It’s the same old thing. Food, wine, and lend me a fire,” Kuro said lightly.
“You… okay.”
Boss Dick looked at Kuro deeply and put away the fur. He hesitated for a while and said, “I remembered wrongly just now. This thing is worth five million, but the price here is not so high for you. One million Berries, is that okay?”
“Anything.”
Kuro shrugged and glanced around. This group of people was only slightly stunned by his knife and started whispering.
“Idiot!”
A table of pirates sneered and said, “He was alone in this place and rushed up without thinking. That’s good, he gave us a test.”
“Hey, did you see his attack just now?”
“No, it’s too fast. I don’t know how he attacked, but he must be an expert swordsman.”
The group of people were discussing among themselves, but none of them were afraid of such an attack.
“Your fire.”
Boss Dick handed over a box of matches.
Kuro took it, wiped the match, and lit the cigar in his mouth.
“Hu…”
He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and smacked his lips. “This taste is inferior. Forget it, it’s better than nothing.”
He bit his cigar and tapped his fingers on the table. He pouted at the noisy scene behind him and said, “This place has always been like this? Tell me about it.”
“Is this your first time here?”
Boss Dick brought a glass for Kuro, put ice on it, poured a glass of wine, and said, “The Krane Kingdom is like this. This is the famous ‘Illegal Kingdom’ of the New World. No matter who comes here, they can get everything by force.”
“Oh? The kingdom doesn’t care?”
“Kingdom…”
Boss Dick shook his head and said in a self-deprecating manner, “The kingdom is even supportive, but only for pirates and those illegal merchants. The citizens of the country are not allowed to do this.”
“You should have seen it when you came. Every house is closed. Not only because it is a rainstorm, but even if it is not, they will not go out rashly, otherwise they will be caught. Not only those human traffickers, but this country itself is also catching people. They need labor to go mining.”
“The Kingdom of Krane… The king sees this place as his playground, and those people are just his prey.”
Dick’s voice was heavy, and when he said this, his face unconsciously showed a trace of haze.
“Oh?”
Kuro looked at him and said softly, “Are you a citizen of this country?”
“No, I’m not…”
Dick shook his head. “I’m a pirate, but I’m retired. I came here to settle a long time ago.”
With that, he patted his leg and said, “You can’t see it from the bar, but my leg is broken because of the shipwreck, so I can only open a tavern here. They gave me face and know that if I’m gone, with these people’s character, they won’t even have a place to drink here.”
“I see, retired old pirate…”
Kuro nodded and was about to say something when suddenly, there was a laugh beside him.
“Hahaha, stop joking, Dick. Who will give you face?”
A burly man sat over and said, “With your bad temper, didn’t you save the king of Krane? If we kill you, he will be angry. We still want to ‘hunt’ in this country.”
“I didn’t save him!”
Dick seemed to have been provoked by something. His pupils constricted and his eyes were bloodshot. He shouted at the big man, “Never!!”
“Okay, okay, don’t be impulsive, Dick. I’m your old friend.”
The burly man waved his hand and said, “Give me a glass of wine, and the money for this little brother’s food and wine is on me.”
With that, he looked at Kuro and said, “Little brother, your strength is not bad. Angus is a relatively famous person among us who came to ‘hunt’. He was actually killed by you. Are you interested in coming to my pirate group?”
Kuro shook the ice cubes in his wine and narrowed his eyes. “Pirate?”
“Yes! Our Double Axe Pirates!”
The big man patted the two axes on his waist. “Join us. Join us and you will have everything.”
“Our Captain is ‘Double Axe’ Lampard, a great pirate with a bounty of 63 million. Joining us will not be a loss.”
“Yes, Captain Lampard is very strong. Little brother, you don’t seem to have much fame. If you join us, you will be put on a bounty very soon. Then you will have fame.”
At a table behind, several pirates were shouting.
“Oh… that’s really scary.”
Kuro swirled his glass and took a sip of wine. “The so-called ‘hunting’ means hunting the citizens of this country, right?”
“Of course!”
Lampard grinned. “Here, we can hunt everywhere except the palace. Wealth, women, you can get them if you want!”
“That’s really good. You want to get what you want with strength?” Kuro stared at the glass and said lightly.
“Yes, that’s it. Join us, I think highly of you.” Lumbard patted Kuro’s shoulder and laughed.
“Lampard! We also like this man!”
Suddenly, another pirate at another table spoke. One of the pirates who looked like a captain stood up and said, “Hey, little brother, I see that you are very strong. Join our Pirates and I will give you the position of the first mate. It just so happens that the first mate died hunting here last time. Let me find out who did it. I will not spare him!”
“Hey, join us, little brother. You are also suitable to join our Pirates!”
As the Captain spoke, the other pirates in the tavern shouted one after another.
“We are not pirates, but we also need you to join us. Join us and become a merchant, the reward is very high!”
In addition to the pirates, the illegal merchants also shouted.
Immediately, the originally noisy tavern became even noisier.
“Hey, little brother, look at so many people welcoming you, it means that you are very popular, but I think you should join us, we are the strongest here.”
Lampard patted his chest with great confidence.
“How about this, you guys fight, the people who are still here, I will think about it, how about it?”
Kuro’s voice was very soft, but it broke into the noise and entered their ears.
Immediately, the scene fell silent.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
“Are you kidding, little brother!” Rumba’s face became gloomy. “Let us fight?”
“Oh? You don’t want to?”
Kuro stood up and looked down at him. “Didn’t you say that what you want should be obtained by strength? I think it makes sense. How about this…”
He held up three fingers. “Three seconds. If he escapes from this tavern, I won’t kill him.”
“Little brother, you are courting death!”
Rumba also stood up. He was more than three meters tall, taller than Kuro. He dropped his hands and held the two axes, licking his tongue like a bloodthirsty beast. “It’s a pity that you are going to die here.”
“Three.”
Kuro named a number.
“Die!”
Rumba raised both axes and brought them down like thunder.
No one could survive his axe.
Phew…
A breeze blew past at this moment.
Kuro’s figure faded for a while before solidifying again.
At this moment, everyone in the tavern seemed to have stopped, including the burly man in front of him, who was holding the axe and motionless.
Only Dick, who was inside the bar, could still move. He widened his eyes and looked at the motionless scene in the tavern with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Click.
The man with the fur hat seemed to have sheathed the knife at his waist, but he didn’t see this person draw the knife…
“Duobra.”
This person spoke softly.
Chi!!!
Inside the tavern, except for him, the heads of everyone present flew up and gushed out from their necks like blood-colored spring water, hitting the top of the tavern with their flying heads.
At this moment, everyone’s heads left their bodies!
Knock knock knock.
After the head hit the roof of the tavern, it fell again and made a muffled sound on the floor.
The expressions on their heads remained as ferocious, disdainful, or laughing as before, as if they did not react to the fact that they were already dead.
Inside the tavern, it was like hell.
“This is…” Dick opened his mouth and his body trembled unconsciously.
“Sorry, I can only count to three.”
Kuro said lightly.
