MTLNOVEL Chapter 115: I Was Robbed By A Dragon
As the sound fell to the ground.
The harbor suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze rushing into everyone's eardrums.
Everyone came to their senses and looked around.
The harbor in front of them had long been broken, with cracks spreading from the center, causing seawater to flow back.
Countless ships were seriously damaged and were gradually swallowed up by the boundless sea.
The scene in the huge pit in the distance was even more horrifying, with red lava flowing and charred bones shattering bit by bit in the middle.
A doomsday scene.
You call this salvation?
You call this rescue?
Don't you dare to go any further!
Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts, but they did not dare to show the slightest disrespect on their faces.
After all, the person who had just been disrespectful to the person in front of them had already been burned to charcoal.
A harbor resident in simple clothes, trembling all over, staggered to Gawain and took out the few banknotes from his pocket: "Dragon-sama… this is my…"
Gawain looked at his calloused hands and his thin body due to long-term labor and sighed inwardly.
For these ordinary people, it is not easy to survive in this world, so he naturally does not intend to make it harder.
Gawain did not take the banknote he handed over and said calmly: "You can go."
The man was slightly stunned, then his eyes showed a little more gratitude.
He kept bowing and thanking until Gawain became impatient.
Then the man hunched over, tightly grasped the banknotes in his hand, turned around, and ran back.
Then, a fat and extravagant dress nobleman followed suit; he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and said to Gawain with a sad face: "Dragon-sama, this is all the money I have."
"I… I am also a civilian in this harbor. I have a daughter to support at home. I beg you to have mercy…"
Bang!
Gawain raised his dragon claw, shook off the blood on his palm with disdain, and looked at the stunned people.
Before the noble could finish his words, a dragon claw descended from the sky and smashed him into a pulp.
"Are you insulting my intelligence?"
"It's aobbery! Pay the money now, and I won't kill you!"
With the dragon roared, the slight glimmer of hope that had just risen in the hearts of the nobles present was shattered.
With trembling hands, they fumbled for all the valuables on their bodies.
They were afraid that if they were a step slower, they would be slapped to death by the dragon in front of them.
As for escaping… The only harbor in Loguetown is right behind Gawain.
Who dares to go there?
Even if you can take a boat out to sea, what lies before you is a dragon that can fly and spit fire!
They are sitting ducks in the sea!
In just a few minutes, the banknotes, gold, and valuable jewelry in front of Gawain were piled up like a small mountain.
He even saw a few antiques that had just been sold at the auction house.
A rough estimate showed that the value of the things in front of him exceeded hundreds of millions of Belly.
The money he had just spent on buying the Devil Fruit was directly recovered in one wave.
This is the joy of freeloading.
Especially when you know that the people you are getting for free are a bunch of scumbags, this happiness will be doubled!
"Is this really all the treasure you have?"
Gawain lowered his dragon head, looked around, and his voice gradually became colder: "I remember clearly how you spent a lot of money at the auction just now. Don't bully the honest people."
The corners of everyone's mouths kept twitching.
Who is bullying honest people?
Oh, he didn't bully the honest people, but he bullied me!
"My lord, this is really all I have!"
A female noble explained with gritted teeth: "Even at an auction house, we wouldn't carry so much cash."
"I don't care."
Gawain shook his head and said coldly: "I am a dragon who only cares about the results, not the process. If you can't bring me enough benefits, what's the point of living?"
Daz Bonez thought he was a serious and steady man, but when he met Gawain, he almost broke down several times.
As the sound fell, everyone couldn't stop their lips from twitching.
Daz Bonez, who had been hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, had his eyes twitching.
Listen to what you say; is it human language?
After regaining his mobility, Daz Bonez was about to leave, but just as he took a step, a creepy voice came from behind him:
"Ahh…"
"I almost forgot, there's a mouse hiding over there."
In an instant, Daz Bonez's vest was soaked with sweat. He turned his head stiffly and saw a pair of pale golden dragon eyes with a playful look.
"I remember you are from Baroque Works. You were also present at the auction just now."
Gawain spoke directly and revealed Daz Bonez's identity.
Then, in the latter's shocked eyes, he said in a deep voice:
"Give me back my money now!"
What is your money?
Daz Bonez's face turned pale, but he did not dare to disobey Gawain's words. He could only raise his hands and say: "The money has been taken away by my companions."
Gawain said calmly: "Then ask them to send it back or pay with your life."
"Um?"
"I see."
Daz Bonez gritted his teeth and responded, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and asked Zala to bring the money over.
It didn't take long.
Far away, a tall figure with an afro hairstyle appeared in Gawain's sight. It was Zala who came back with the money to redeem a person.
Looking at the dragon staying in the harbor, Zala swallowed subconsciously, forced her weak legs to move forward, and respectfully placed the suitcase containing cash in front of Gawain.
Bang!
The box opened, revealing the neatly stacked Belly inside.
With a denomination of 10,000 per note, a rough estimate shows that the cash in this box alone is close to 300 million Belly.
Seeing this, Gawain turned to look at Daz Bonez:
"I'm very optimistic about your talent. Would you consider changing your boss?"
Just now, he casually threw a probe at Daz Bonez in front of him, but the answer he got surprised Gawain a little:
Silver-level potential.
This means that as long as he continues to develop according to his current ability, he may be able to reach the level of Vice-admiral in the future.
Such combat power can be regarded as the core combat power no matter which pirate crew it is placed in.
It was impossible for Gawain not to be moved.
Only, facing Gawain's recruitment, Daz Bonez shook his head firmly: "I'm sorry, I have already entrusted my life to my boss."
"Even if I pretend to surrender, I won't be able to hide it from your eyes, right?"
"Is that so…?"
Gawain felt a little regretful, but he didn't care too much.
Even if he uses the existing leeks to develop for two or three years, he can easily reach the threshold of the diamond level.
Besides, people like Daz Bonez just trivial matters to Gawain.
"What a pity. You can leave now according to the agreement. If you can't make it to the Baroque Workshop any more, you can find me."
"My name is Gawain, White Knight Gawain!"
"That super newcomer from the East Blue? In less than half a year, his bounty has soared from 8 million to 200 million!"
Zala was stunned, and then her pupils shrunk suddenly.
Originally, she was a little confused as to why a newcomer from East Blue could rise so quickly.
Now, seeing the huge monster in front of her, everything had an answer.
After all, the sense of oppression revealed by this body alone was enough to make a bounty of 200 million, even a 1 billion bounty, possible.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the shock and awe in each other's hearts.
"Thanks."
Zala's thanks were sincere because if Gawain wanted to, no one present would be able to escape.
Gawain nodded indifferently and watched the two figures disappear in the moonlight.
With two vivid examples before their eyes, the East Blue nobles frantically searched for valuable items on their bodies.
