Chapter 288 Strange Gangster (Ch 288)

Ruskaina, located in the doldrums, is a 48-season island adjacent to the Nine Snake Island. The island is filled with huge and ferocious beasts, and even the Nine Snake warriors, who are known as a fighting nation, dare not set foot on it easily.
“Uncle Rayleigh, you brought people here without my consent. Aren’t you looking down on me?”
Rayleigh looked helplessly at Hancock who was scolding him in front of him, his heart full of bitterness. She was the girl he rescued at the same time as Allen, but the difference in their attitudes towards each other could only be described as worlds apart.
“Don’t worry about this little detail, Hancock. You Nine Snakes don’t need this island anyway. Isn’t it just right to use it to train my disciples in domineering aura?”
“Stop talking nonsense and take that kid away from my territory.”
“Ah, it seems that this is the only way. It’s a pity that this kid’s brother is a cadre under Allen.”
Rayleigh, who knew Hancock’s character well, pretended to take Luffy away with him, who looked stunned.
“Uncle Rayleigh, aren’t we going to continue training?”
“What are you training for? Didn’t you see that the master here is chasing us away? Let’s go to an uninhabited island near the Twilight Sea to train. I believe that Brother Allen will take us in, the poor master and apprentice who were chased away by the Nine Snake Queen.”
“Oh, let’s go!”
“Wait….Wait a minute!”
As expected, upon hearing that Luffy was the younger brother of a cadre of the Twilight Pirates, and that Rayleigh was going to go to Eren to complain about himself, Hancock immediately called out to the two of them anxiously.
“Well… you can stay if you want, just don’t step into the range of the Nine Snakes.”
“Really? But it’s not a good idea for us to enter without His Majesty’s permission. I think we should go to the Twilight Sea.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I have agreed to this, haven’t I? It is decided.”
After that, Hancock and the warriors of Nine Snake Island jumped onto the ship without giving Rayleigh a chance to refuse. What a joke, what would happen if Lord Allen knew that I was a petty woman? Compared to this, it was not unacceptable to let two annoying men stay in Ruskayi.
After returning to Nine Snake Island, Hancock kicked the cat in front of her away and went straight back to the bedroom. However, she was stopped by the short Grandma Zha on the way.
“Hancock, why don’t you drive those two men away? That Straw Hat Boy is a serious criminal who attacked the Celestial Dragons. If he stays here, we will be implicated. And I believe you also know how special Rayleigh’s identity is, right?”
A trace of disgust flashed across the empress’s face, and she showed an extremely contemptuous attitude.
“Tsk, I don’t need you to teach me how to do things! That boy in the straw hat is the younger brother of Master Allen. How can I chase him away?”
When it comes to Alan, Hancock lost her cold look, held her blushing cheeks with her hands and acted like a little woman.
When Alan was mentioned, a look of fear appeared on Grandma Zha’s face, and the past scenes came to her mind.
“Humph, didn’t I tell you to stay away from Alan? He’s an extremely dangerous guy. Can you imagine how terrifying it is for a 17-year-old to be able to gain a foothold in that pirate group?”
“Besides, he now openly supports Whitebeard in winning the war on the top. Getting too close to him will bring the Nine Snakes into an irreparable situation.”
“Bang”
Hancock took two steps to the old woman and kicked her out of the window, turning her into a shooting star.
“I’ve already told you that I don’t need your permission to do anything. It’s really annoying.”
“No matter what, the Nine Snakes still need the Seven Warlords’ identity as their backer, so don’t go too far.”
Grandma Zha quickly ran back to Hancock and gave her another earnest advice, but what greeted her was another fragrant kick.
“I see. Aren’t I still a Shichibukai? I don’t need you to talk nonsense to me.”
After flying out of the palace, Grandma Zha got up, looked at Hancock’s back and sighed deeply. She didn’t know whether it was good or bad to have anything to do with that guy.
………..
The Black Dragon Pirates, who crossed the Upside-Down Mountain, appeared in the West Sea.
Rebecca complained about her brother from time to time.
“Everyone else goes to the Grand Line from the Four Seas, but we are very different. We go the opposite way.”
“What can we do? We were born in the New World. Of course we have to travel around the world.”
“Besides, I heard from my eldest sister that my father had also traveled all over the world. We should follow in his footsteps, right?”
Lugia scratched his head awkwardly and expressed his thoughts.
The members of the group had no objection to this. No matter where you go, it’s not a trip. On the contrary, Dashewan, who had never been to the world, was very excited about this. As a chef, experiencing the food from all over the world would also help improve his cooking skills.
Following the purchased recording pointer, they arrived at the nearest island. The group planned to go to the island to rest and experience the customs and culture of the West Sea.
The characteristic of Xihai is, of course, the endless stream of mafia.
Just after the group arrived in the town, they encountered two groups of people fighting.
Lugia frowned, he didn’t want to get involved in the fight between the two fire gangs. Although he was not afraid even if these people attacked him together, it would always be unpleasant to be passively involved in a fight.
After some discussion, they decided to take a detour and not get involved in this mess.
Kalina, who habitually wanted to see if there was any opportunity to make some money, took a detour while observing the battle between the two sides, but she discovered a scene that surprised her.
“Hey, do you think the people over there are a little weird?”
When everyone looked back, they found a group of people looking for cover and occasionally firing a few cold shots, while their opponents seemed very brave, firing back at their opponents while closing the distance between them.
“What’s so strange about this? Isn’t it just that one side is braver?”
Cavendish looked at Kalina in confusion, not knowing what was so strange.
“Don’t you think that group of people are too brave? They are all subordinates. Why would they risk their lives for such a small amount of money?”
“And their first reaction after being injured was not to stop the bleeding or find cover, but to close the distance between them and the enemy. Do they want to engage in close combat?”
After listening to Kalina’s analysis, everyone did find some suspicious points. Logically speaking, both sides had hot weapons and would not consider close combat before running out of bullets.
Just as several people were puzzled, many of the strange group of people had already reached the enemy’s position. They simply dropped their guns, drew their swords or long sticks from their waists and rushed forward, regardless of the fact that their bodies were full of bullet holes and bleeding continuously.
After a while, the gangsters who were shooting from the cover were forced to engage in close combat with the other side.
Similarly, the strange group of people just now were still not afraid of being hurt. They would often risk taking one blow and would stab others twice, even making people feel that they could not feel any pain at all.
This desperate fighting style frightened the enemy so much that within a few minutes, they gave up resistance and surrendered amid screams.
“Do you want to go and take a look? There is definitely something strange about that group of people.”
