Chapter 79: This Era is Too Gentle
"Captain, let me ask a question!"
"Who are my fellow crew members?"
A question occurred to Jewelry Bonney, though it was just a fleeting thought. Perhaps, as the captain, he had placed everything on his crew members.
"My crew includes the former Warlord, Crocodile!"
"There's the former Head Jailer of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain!"
"There's the former World Government intelligence agency, CP9!"
"There are former Celestial Dragon slaves, Sully and Vivian!"
"And a group of Kung Fu Dugongs!"
"And finally, there's..."
Satan said, his gaze falling on Jewelry Bonney.
"Me, the former captain of the Bonney Pirates, Jewelry Bonney!"
"Captain, don't tell me all your crew members were poached!"
Jewelry Bonney felt a headache coming on.
Satan was just too incredible.
All the crew members had such incredible backgrounds.
Even former Celestial Dragon slaves?
Just how reckless did he have to be?
"Poach? Do I need to?"
"Like you, didn't you join voluntarily?"
Satan grinned.
He realized that his crew members really did all have special identities.
But, who cared?
As long as they were his crew members, that was all that mattered.
Jewelry Bonney understood. Although Satan's methods were a bit much, she had indeed willingly become a crew member.
"The captain has really gathered a group of terrifying guys!"
"If you set sail, it would be enough to shock the seas!"
"I'm a little excited to meet them!"
Jewelry Bonney lamented.
Whether it was Crocodile, Shiryu of the Rain, or even CP9... these guys all had reputations that surpassed her own.
She had joined a monster pirate crew.
"As for meeting them, you'll have to wait a bit!"
"They are all recuperating on another island. After our trip to Sabaody is over..."
"...you will naturally meet them!"
Satan smiled.
"What!"
"The crew is in another place?"
"Then Captain, where's your money?"
Jewelry Bonney looked at Satan with a serious expression.
She had just realized the biggest problem: she hadn't seen a money pouch on Satan.
She had even thought that Satan had left it with his crew members.
But now, the crew wasn't with him, so where was the money?
"I never carry money!"
Satan said faintly.
"What!"
Jewelry Bonney's voice couldn't help but become sharp.
"You never carry money?"
"Then you're going to the auction house? To buy things without money?"
Jewelry Bonney couldn't help but lecture Satan.
"I'm a pirate!"
Satan laughed.
His meaning was unspoken. Whether the auction house sold it or not, he would rely on robbery!
He never intended to pay the auction house any money.
Besides, these auction houses were not legitimate businesses in the first place.
The money they made was ill-gotten. Why not rob them?
In that moment, Jewelry Bonney was utterly speechless.
Her captain was simply unreasonable.
"Captain, if you're going to set sail, you should at least have some common sense, right?"
"Do you know the powers behind the auction house?"
Jewelry Bonney couldn't help but sigh.
But, at that moment.
A flippant voice sounded.
"Yo, isn't it the super rookie with the 300 million Belly bounty, the Demon King Satan?"
"To have a bounty on the same level as a guy like you... it really pisses me off!"
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of footsteps.
A young man with red spiky hair, a dagger and a pistol on his chest, wearing goggles and a dark red coat, walked over.
Beside him was a man wearing a helmet.
"Eustass Kid, with a bounty of 315 million Belly!"
"The number one Supernova!"
"My god, and that's Killer and the members of the Kid Pirates!"
"That's a super pirate crew with two Supernovas!"
"Kid's bounty is only so high because he's done so much evil!"
"Over there is the Demon King Satan, whose first bounty was 300 million Belly!"
"Looks like we're in for a good show!"
The pirates discussed among themselves, their terror mixed with excitement.
A clash between pirates with bounties in the 300 millions!
"Tch, this guy is trouble!"
Jewelry Bonney said, dissatisfied.
"What's the trouble?"
"The Supernovas are just a bunch of kids roughhousing."
Satan patted Jewelry Bonney's head.
"Captain, I'm not a kid!"
Jewelry Bonney was displeased, but while her mouth said no, her heart quite enjoyed it.
Satan gave her a sense of security and warmth.
"Captain?"
"How pathetic. To give up being a captain and submit to someone else!"
"As a fellow Supernova, you're a disgrace!"
Kid expressed his dissatisfaction coldly.
"I'm willing, what's it to you!"
Jewelry Bonney retorted.
"This guy really pisses me off!"
"Killer!"
Kid's ability activated, and the pirates' weapons all flew towards him.
Then they covered his left arm, forming a giant steel arm.
It was his Devil Fruit ability, allowing him to absorb and manipulate metal for offense and defense.
On the other side, Killer's feet tapped rapidly, and he rushed towards Satan with dual blades in hand.
The moment he attacked, he went straight for Satan's throat, incredibly vicious.
"What an arrogant Supernova!"
"It seems this era is too gentle, to the point where they've lost even the most basic judgment!"
Satan couldn't help but sigh. These guys were more arrogant than the last.
Unfortunately, their strength was too weak.
Facing Killer's attack, Satan directly reached out his hand.
"Arrogant!"
Killer snorted coldly. For Satan to attack a martial artist with his bare hands was simply asking for death!
In his anger, Killer slashed down with both blades.
With a crack.
Killer found his weapons had broken on impact.
Not good!
An ominous thought appeared, but before he could react, Satan's hand clamped around his neck.
Like holding a little chick, he lifted him up directly.
This scene left the crowd dumbfounded.
"A pirate with a bounty in the hundreds of millions, defeated in a single move?"
"This... is the strength of the Demon King Satan?"
"In front of him, the Supernovas are just little brats!"
The pirates discussed among themselves. Satan was too strong.
"This guy really pisses me off!"
"Let go of Killer!"
Anger burned in Kid's heart.
What did he just see?
Killer was defeated in a single move?
Where did this monster come from?
But, with a bounty higher than Satan's, Kid regained his confidence.
This guy must be a user of a special Devil Fruit ability, that's why he could instantly defeat Killer!
"And if I don't?"
Satan gave a wicked smile.
These seas were too gentle. Then let him make the pirates feel the terror of the sea
