Pirates: System run away, compensation concept level ability Chapter 007

Flower Country, Brown’s Tavern.

“Creak~”

The small wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Both the patrons and staff turned their heads out of curiosity, wanting to see if it was someone they knew.

Lafitte walked at the very front with a smile, and upon noticing everyone’s gaze, he tipped his hat and bowed slightly.

Who is this guy in theatrical attire? Why does he look somewhat familiar?

Everyone was puzzled.

Before they could recall Lafitte’s identity, Dio walked out from behind Lafitte.

The atmosphere in the tavern instantly turned cold, and even some drunkards were startled awake, looking at Dio with unease.

What a powerful aura! The dancer on stage had a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

In all these years, she had met many people, but none could compare to the blond man in front of her.

When did such a figure appear in the West Blue?

“Oh~ Captain Dio is indeed eye-catching!” Lafitte chuckled.

On the way here, he had already learned the identities of the three.

Dio shrugged, chose a sofa in the back, lay down lazily, and propped his feet on the wine table.

Daz and Old York sat silently beside him.

Lafitte waved to a waiter, casually ordered a few bottles of rum, and then quietly sat beside Dio.

The other people in the tavern, seeing that Dio’s group wasn’t causing trouble, temporarily relaxed and continued drinking.

“I originally planned to gather information here.”

“Since you, Lafitte, have been in Flower Country for a while, tell me, how can I meet Chinjao?” Dio said in a low voice.

His gaze, however, remained fixed on the dancer in front, feeling that her aura was somewhat familiar.

“Oh? Captain Dio wants to meet the pillar of the Happo Navy, Leader Chinjao?” Lafitte was a bit surprised; he had thought the other party was here to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament.

“Under normal circumstances, going directly to visit would likely result in being turned away.”

“However, there’s a good opportunity recently. Flower Country is holding a Martial Arts Tournament, and the winner can meet the King. You’ll definitely be able to see Chinjao then.”

Dio withdrew his gaze, deep in thought: “A Martial Arts Tournament?”

“Are there any requirements?”

Lafitte smiled: “It’s very simple, no Devil Fruit abilities, only pure physical combat for victory.”

Dio rolled his eyes: “Isn’t this just for their Happo Navy and Nihao Navy to recruit talent?”

“You could say that.” Lafitte shrugged playfully.

“Understood.” Dio nodded and gestured forward with his chin: “Do you know that dancer?”

A flicker of disappointment crossed Lafitte’s eyes. Could this guy in front of him be a lecher?

To be honest, he didn’t dislike lechery, but indulging before achieving one’s goal was simply self-destruction.

“Apologies, Captain Dio, I’m not interested in dancers.”

Feeling the detachment in the other party’s words, Dio came to his senses and chuckled wryly.

“I mean, this woman should be extraordinary.”

Lafitte was stunned, then carefully scrutinized Nico Robin on the stage.

As he watched, his brows furrowed: “Although this woman has been dancing, she’s constantly vigilant of her surroundings. She must be hiding from something.”

“Hiding?” Dio propped his chin with one hand. West Blue, woman, hiding… it couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?

“Thud!”

The small wooden door was suddenly kicked open, drawing everyone’s attention.

Rob Lucci, followed by his leader Kamaya, arrogantly stepped inside from outside the door.

“CP is on duty, everyone stay still, the person in charge come out.”

Seeing their black suits, many people shrank their heads.

Even those who weren’t discerning realized that these two were not to be trifled with.

Seeing this, Dio became completely certain.

Well, then! He wasn’t sure just now, but now that CP was here, then the one on stage… Huh? She ran?

No wonder she could evade for so long, Dio mused with emotion.

“It seems Captain Dio knows that woman’s identity?” Lafitte was a bit curious.

“To attract CP’s capture, she must be extraordinary.”

Dio stood up: “Shall we go meet her?”

Lafitte glanced at the CP at the door, a smirk playing on his lips: “My pleasure. If Captain Dio isn’t afraid, what do I, a wanted criminal, have to fear?”

“Daz, Old York, stay here and don’t move. We’ll be right back.” After Dio instructed them, he and Lafitte walked towards the door.

Old York understood that this meant he and Daz were to have a good chat here.

Because the few of them were sitting in the innermost part, it took Dio and Lafitte a while to walk a certain distance before they were noticed by Rob Lucci and Kamaya.

“Stop! I told you to stop!” Kamaya pushed away the tavern owner in front of him and yelled.

But Dio and Lafitte had no intention of heeding him.

“Seeking death!” Rob Lucci’s right finger jabbed out sharply: “Finger Pistol!”

Seeing that Dio didn’t dodge, a look of delight flashed in Rob Lucci’s eyes. No one could block his attack!

He was the most talented person in “CP 9” in eight hundred years!

Unfortunately, the finger-shaped impact landed on Dio’s body and dissipated without causing a single bit of damage.

[Damage Nullification]

“What?” Rob Lucci was shocked. This was the first time his attack had failed during a mission.

“Not good, Lucci, come back!” Kamaya’s pupils constricted, and he shot out at extreme speed.

He stood in front of Rob Lucci and took Dio’s palm strike.

“So your name is Lucci.” Dio walked past Kamaya, scrutinizing Rob Lucci.

Hmm~ At 18, he still seemed a bit naive.

“I admire you very much. Would you like to be my crewmate?” Dio chuckled.

Rob Lucci’s talent was actually not weak; it was just limited by that Cat-Cat Fruit.

“What kind of joke is that? I’m a member of the World Government!” Rob Lucci directly refused.

“Hey, Kamaya, what are you doing? Counterattack quickly!”

Dio shook his head: “That’s truly regrettable. I hope you still have such loyalty when the World Government abandons you.”

With that, Dio ignored him and walked straight out the door.

Lafitte’s eyes flashed with surprise as he quickly followed: “Captain Dio, what excellent methods!”

Rob Lucci chose not to block. From that one strike, he knew he was no match for that person.

Moreover, Kamaya was more important right now! It seemed something had happened to him!

Taking a few steps forward, Rob Lucci finally saw Kamaya’s appearance clearly.

“How could this be…”

At this moment, Kamaya’s eyes were bulging, veins were popping, and his heart had stopped beating.

[Heart Nullification]

Kamaya was actually dead!

The Kamaya who could pin him to the ground and rub him, the Kamaya who could be called his master, had actually died just like that!

“Dio? Who exactly are you?” Rob Lucci’s face was grim.

The capture operation hadn’t even begun, and the team leader had already sacrificed himself, making the difficulty skyrocket.

Carrying Kamaya’s corpse, Rob Lucci also left the tavern. He needed to gather the remaining CP 9 to discuss what to do next.

At the same moment, in the alley behind Brown’s Tavern.

Robin wrapped her long black hair with a headscar, revealing only a pair of lively eyes.

“It seems I need to find a ship to leave this place.”

“Come to my ship, how about it?” Dio walked out from the alley entrance, hands in his pockets.

It was him! Robin’s whole body tensed, and she unconsciously retreated backward. This person in front of her was not simple!

However, after only a few steps, she spotted Lafitte.

“Miss, Captain Dio wishes to invite you, and I am also very curious about your identity.” Lafitte looked at Robin with a smile.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Robin’s forehead: Damn it, I’m surrounded!
