Chapter 279 Bartolomeo and the Windfall(1/2)
What Dorag said probably means that I helped but not completely. Bucky was struck by lightning mainly because he clicked on his back.
"I already understand the general principle, so now it's time for you to put an end to the mess you caused."
After listening to Dorag's explanation of his abilities, Seti didn't sigh. He just stretched out his fingers and pointed at the chaotic streets below.
After hearing this, Dolag was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction Seti pointed.
I saw that the execution platform below had become chaotic at some point. Previously, the crowd was still in place because of Luffy's "miracle", but when the Straw Hats and the sailors led by Smoker gradually disappeared,
These people also gradually came back to their senses.
As the last stop on the way to the Grand Line, Rogge Town is a mixed place. Not only the people of Rogge Town have just come to the execution platform to watch the execution, but there are also many people who are interested in going to the Grand Line but dare not because of Smoker's reputation.
The pirates who broke in were hidden inside.
Seeing that most of the navy led by Smoker had been attracted by the Straw Hat Pirates, and the only sailors left to maintain order were three or two big cats and kittens, the pirates in the crowd couldn't help but have their own thoughts.
After some eye contact, some people gathered together in twos and threes, and gradually approached the sailors who were maintaining order in the center. The remaining pirates hid in the dark, their eyes shining with the light of choosing and devouring others.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Dorag immediately recalled the teachings Seti had given him when he was in Shampoo Land.
Have you made the mistake of being "short-sighted" again?
The conversation in Shampoo obviously had a profound impact on Dolag. Without Setti saying anything, Dolag had already realized his mistake:
"You are right. Since this turmoil started because of me, I should also be responsible for it."
Hearing what Dorag said, Seti showed a satisfied smile:
"I'll be responsible for getting rid of the guys on the execution platform. How about you go and clean up the rats hiding in the dark?"
"I think so too."
After Dorag said these words coolly, he turned around and turned into a breeze, disappearing in an instant.
From this point of view, the revolutionary army is not hopeless, but it just did not pay attention to these problems before.
After watching Dolag disappear, Seti twisted his neck casually, and then stretched out his index finger towards the execution platform below. Next, it was time to step forward himself.

"Brothers, the opportunity has come. As long as we kill the navy guarding here, before that white smoker comes back, the entire Rogge Town will be in our possession!"
A pirate in the crowd whispered to the surrounding pirates. As he spoke, the man silently took out a dagger from his waist:
"As long as we do this, we can enter the Grand Route with great success!"
Hearing what their leader said, the surrounding pirate companions immediately burst into low laughter, and each one took out the weapons in their hands to touch the sailors in the distance.
"daughter!"
A horrified exclamation suddenly sounded. The navy guarding the execution platform was startled by the sound. He turned around and saw a group of pirates with grinning faces who had kidnapped a little girl who was only six or seven years old.
.
There was also a woman among this group of pirates who was grabbing the thigh of the knife-wielding pirate, begging him to let her daughter go.
"You...what do you want to do!"
The leader of the navy shouted in shock and anger.
"What do you want to do? Hehehehe..."
The pirate who kidnapped the child grinned, revealing a pair of jagged yellow teeth and said:
"Now put down your weapons and make way for me, or I will kill this kid."
Hearing this, the leader of the navy couldn't help but look embarrassed. He knew very well what it meant to face these vicious pirates with bare hands, but they couldn't watch the innocent child die in the hands of the pirates.
.
"Hurry up! My patience has its limit!"
The pirate roared angrily and thrust the dagger forward again, immediately revealing a bloody mark on the little girl's neck.
"Mom, I'm scared."
The girl's frightened cries instantly touched the hearts of everyone present.
Seeing her daughter being cut by a sharp dagger, the girl's mother turned pale with fear. Seeing that she could not persuade the pirates, the woman turned around and begged the navy opposite.
"Please, save my daughter..."
As the woman spoke, she kowtowed to the sailors.
The navy frowned upon seeing this. After all, they wanted to sacrifice this little girl to take care of the overall situation, but what should they do to comply with the pirate's request?
Just when the navy could not make up their mind, an angry shout suddenly sounded not far away:
"You guys are worthy of being called pirates! Compared to Luffy-senpai, who remains unmoved in the face of life and death, you are simply not worthy of carrying Luffy-senpai's shoes!"
Everyone looked around and found that the person who shouted these words was a delinquent boy wearing a nose ring and a green comb hair. At this time, he was pointing at the group of pirates and spitting loudly and dissatisfiedly:
"What's the point of taking a child as a hostage? If you have the guts, you can fight with Uncle Bartolomeo with real swords and guns!"
Looking at the cockscomb head in front of them, the group of pirates were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help laughing. A tall pirate separated from the crowd and stood in front of Bartolomeo, about to kill Bartolomeo.
Oh, but the opponent grabbed his wrist and sent him flying with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.
"Come on, come on, you hot chicks!"
Although Bartolomeo is young, he is already a well-known underworld leader in Rogge Town, so his skills are not bad.
It's just that although he was strong, he still underestimated the shamelessness of these pirates.
After knocking down three or four pirates in a row, one yelled and rushed towards Bartolomeo, while the other held a dagger and sneaked around behind him without anyone noticing.
Bartolomeo noticed the dagger in the other man's hand, but at this time he couldn't concentrate on dealing with the other guy. He hadn't eaten the barrier fruit yet, so he couldn't avoid the dagger stabbing from behind.
Are you going to die? Are you going to die here before you see that miracle-like man again?
Just as Bartolomeo was thinking this in his heart, a muffled and sudden groan sounded behind him.
Bartolomeo, who had killed the pirate in front, looked back and found that the knife-wielding pirate behind him had strangely fallen to the ground, with a large hole strangely opened in his heart, and blood was gurgling out of it.
Behind the corpse, there was a tall red-haired man looking at him with a smile.
"Boy, you are very good."
When did this guy appear behind me?
Just as Bartolomeo was thinking about this problem behind him, the navy behind Seti suddenly let out a cheer:
"It's Major General Seti. Major General Seti is supporting us!"
Major...major general!?
Hearing this name, all the pirates and Bartolomeo's expressions froze. They did not expect that there would be such a high-ranking naval officer in Rogge Town.
Before Bartolomeo could say anything, the pirate who kidnapped the little girl nervously shouted:
"Guys over there, I'm telling you, don't mess around. I have a hostage in my hands. If you dare..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt his eyes blur, and then a sharp pain came from the hand holding the knife.
"What do I dare?"
A slightly smiling voice rang in the pirate's ears. Bartolomeo looked up in shock and saw the red-haired man strangely flashing in front of the pirate and twisting his arm.
At the same time, the other hand held the little girl in his arms.
Bartolomeo's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the knife-wielding pirate who had his wrist flipped 180 degrees and his entire body lifted up in the air while screaming.
Oh my god, is what just happened really possible for humans? How could someone be so fast?
"do not move!"
Just as Bartolomeo was thinking about this, a pirate suddenly raised his gun at the major general named "Seti" in the field:
"If you dare to move again, I will shoot you."
How despicable!
Bartolomeo couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart. Just when he wanted to help the major general named Seti, even to encourage him verbally, Bartolomeo saw something he would never forget.
One scene.
After hearing that the other party was about to shoot, Seti did not take any action. He just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the pirate holding the gun.
Bartolomeo just glanced at that look from the side, and felt a wave of heart palpitations in his heart. The feeling was as if he was being targeted by the King of the Offshore. No, even if he was being stared at by the King of the Offshore, it would not make people feel...
So terrible.
This is such a huge pressure to bear just a glance from the side. How terrifying would it be to be stared at from the front?
Just as this thought came to Bartolomeo's mind, he heard muffled sounds of popping and popping coming one after another from the side.
He turned around in shock and found that not to mention the gun-wielding pirate, even the pirates next to him had fainted one by one.
This... am I dreaming? With just one look, the man in front of me knocked down all these pirates with just one look?
Seti didn't know how much of a turmoil his various actions had caused in Bartolomeo's heart. He, who had long been accustomed to his overbearing look, had no turmoil in his heart. He just turned around and said to the sailors behind him:
"Hand up them all and drag them back to the Navy branch. Although these guys have been dragged to death a hundred times and all deserved to die, we still need to go through the legal process for a while." After saying this, Seti turned his head and looked at the field again in a daze.
To be continued...
