Chapter 1009
This sudden and inexplicable request made Wilbur slightly stunned. Subconsciously, he looked at the town behind the port. There were many residents there and he could see the figures of some people hiding.
“Yes, funny dance. It doesn’t matter if you can’t dance. Let me teach you.”
Yagyu Shihu clapped his hands and bent his feet. He opened his hands up and down, with his right hand on top and his left hand reaching down and opening his fingers.
Thud thud thud!
He danced a few times on one foot and slowly twisted his head. Finally, he glared forward and said with a grin that took up half of his face, “That’s it, funny dance. Of course there are many variations, but you only need to dance one of them. You don’t even have to learn this. The dance of your hometown, the dance you have seen, or you walk around the town naked in half a day. Just let them think you are a fool. Half a day, just half a day, I will spare you.”
Half a day, he will agree, and then he will feel the despair of innocence, just like that naive man 20 years ago!
Bang!
Another shot rang out.
Yagyu Shihu’s head tilted up and then down again, and his eyes became ferocious, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth turned down, and there was a trace of happiness in his ferocious eyes.
If he was happy, his expression would be angry.
At his chin, a black light flashed and the pellet flattened and fell to the ground.
The Haki projectile still did not cause him any harm.
Yagyu Shihu touched his chin. Although his face was angry, his tone was full of teasing. “Oh? You don’t agree to my request?”
Wilbur pushed his palm down and quickly retreated. At the same time, he stood up and pointed the gun at Yagyu Ishiguro and said solemnly, “Are you insulting me, Pirate!”
“Do you think this is an insult? Hey, saving the island you are protecting and not letting them be hurt, the only thing you pay is your little dignity, your dignity, can it be compared to the island and people you are protecting?”
Yagyu Shihu said and thought for a while. His expression suddenly became happy again, but his tone began to be angry, “How about this, since you think your dignity is important, let’s change to another one. Let’s fight one-on-one. It won’t take half a day. One hour, one hour, as long as you can withstand my attack without dying, I will also let you and this island go.”
“Have you insulted me enough?”
The sudden voice stunned Yagyu Shihu.
Wilbur stared at Yagyu Ishiguro and said slowly: “I am Marine, you are a pirate, the only thing we can do is to fight. Yes, you are very strong, I am not your opponent, but this is not me giving up the struggle and becoming a doll at your mercy! Death is not afraid, I died to protect others and for the cause of justice, this is a very honorable thing!”
A large number of Marines began to gather around him.
“Mr. Kuro has said that reaching peace is never a compromise, but a battle! Peace obtained by compromise is just the charity of others. Sooner or later, it will be abandoned because he doesn’t know pain. If you don’t beat him up, he won’t be afraid of you! Peace is something that can be threatened by both sides!”
Wilbur said in a trembling voice: “No matter what your request is, I will not agree! There is only one way for you to achieve your purpose, that is to defeat us. Otherwise, even if I have one last breath, I will protect this place and not let you occupy this island!”
The Marines beside him revealed a determined look and did not say much. They just aimed their guns at Yagyu Ishiguro and his pirates.
Yagyu Ishiki looked at this scene in a daze, but in his mind, he thought of a naked man wandering in the streets and alleys. The scene changed and finally became the scene of the man carrying nine people in a big pot, and the surrounding people crying and in disbelief. The smile of the burly and domineering man above and the short and wretched man beside him…
His expression disappeared. There was no anger and he was no longer happy. He became calm and calm.
“Why?”
Yagyu Shihu said in a deep voice: “If you want to achieve your goal, isn’t compromise the fastest way? You don’t have to fight, and you won’t let people sacrifice themselves. Maybe you Marines are not afraid of death, but what about those civilians? Aren’t you afraid that I will be angry and slaughter this island! As long as you agree to my request, nothing will happen!”
“I will not put my hope on the mercy of the enemy!”
Wilbur shouted, “Besides, what’s the use of that? Without you, there will be others. Do they have to compromise every time they threaten the island and residents? We are Marines, fighting pirates is our duty!”
Perhaps Yagyu Ishiki will fulfill his promise and let go of this island, but what is the use of that? Without this person, there will be others coming. If every one of them has to compromise with the threat of the island and civilians, the final result will still be defeat and defeat without any resistance.
It is impossible to lose your weapon. If you lose your weapon, you will lose the ability to resist!
“I will not agree to any of your requests. There is only fighting between us. Even if we are completely wiped out, we will not surrender!!”
Wilbur’s voice made Yagyu Shihu’s body tremble and his eyes slightly glazed over. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Vice-Admiral, let’s go!”
At this moment, a large number of young people suddenly emerged from the town and stood behind Marine with crude weapons.
“We have had enough!”
A slightly older man shouted, “Every time I am invaded by a different pirate, I pay a tax that I can’t pay in the name of protection, or I will be a pirate. I don’t want to be a pirate, I want to be a Marine! Even if I die in battle, I want to show the pirates my backbone! Vice-Admiral Wilbur, in ‘Just Faith’, it is said that I will never compromise to violence and I will fight back. We will do it!”
Following his words, the men, women, old, and young in the town all held their weapons tightly. Those without weapons also picked up a piece of wood or stone at random. Their faces were full of determination. Perhaps there were some who were afraid, but soon his expression became one of death. Wasn’t it just death? He had lived enough!
They had indeed had enough.
The endless pirates took turns to occupy this place. If it was just a single pirate group, they might be used to it, but in this New World, the defeat of the pirate group is as casual and fast as their birth. Some people can occupy it for a few years, and some people can only occupy it for a few days, and every time there is a new pirate group ‘protection’ here, they will be more miserable.
It was only during this period that Marine chased away the pirates and began to help them restore their homeland. Vice-Admiral Wilbur kindly spread that principle and enlightened them.
If I don’t beat him up, how can he have fear and respect?
They figured it out and only want to turn over. Then they will never be able to turn over. Only by letting these pirates know the pain, even if they die, these pirates will treat the people on the next island well because of fear.
We are all human, there is no difference. Let these pirates see our backbone!
The young man who spoke stared fiercely at Yagyu Ishigaru and roared with bulging veins, “The only possibility for you to occupy this place is to occupy an island full of corpses, we…”
“I will never surrender!!!”
The civilians raised their weapons and roared.
The sound shook the port, making those pirates subconsciously pick up their weapons and break out in cold sweat.
‘What happened?’
They are pirates. Shouldn’t they run away or give up resistance in this situation?
Why did it become so violent?
Thud thud thud!
The reverberation of this voice made Yagyu Shihu subconsciously take two steps back and then wake up, but at this time, he did not attack, but his eyes were complicated.
If, at that time, they were also this scene …
Would the situation be different?
