"Hoo hoo~"
The sound of hurried breathing echoed on the desolate coast.
Ain, who was slightly embarrassed, clenched the dagger in her hand with a backhand, and her pretty face was covered with fatigue.
Watching the pirates, who were surrounding her three layers inside and three layers outside and had ferocious faces, she didn't bother to wipe away the hot sweat on her forehead and could only stare straight at her surroundings and be on guard.
"Haha, Boss Lesi, this girl is already at the end of her rope. As long as we catch her and send her to the Beast Pirates, we won't be afraid to arrive in the New World in the future!"
A pirate said flatteringly with a face full of excitement to the man, who was standing in front of him, holding a rapier, and dressed like a nobleman.
"Hmph, Lesi, this is the prey that our Giant Ax Pirates have taken a liking to. Don't interfere, or don't blame me for chopping off your arms!" A burly man, who was carrying a huge ax, said ferociously.
"As long as I get this woman, I'll have 500 million Berry and be able to bid for a good Zoan-type Devil Fruit. By that time, even in the New World, I'll have the power to protect myself!"
"You're daydreaming here. Have you thought about whether Black Tiger will agree?"
The man, who was standing in another corner and had formed a circle of encirclement, also snorted coldly and said.
For a time, the three pirate groups gave people a feeling of being on the verge of war.
"Hmph, this isn't the time for us to have internal strife. In order to avoid any long nights and dreams, let's catch this woman first. We'll decide the ownership based on our strength afterward." Lesi, who had blond hair, took the lead and snorted coldly and expressed his position.
"I really didn't expect that this girl would be stupid enough to insist on staying here and waiting for a Devil Fruit user who jumped into the sea to commit suicide. Isn't this deliberately letting us have the opportunity to join the Beast Pirates?"
"Let's make a quick decision. Quite a few people have received the news in advance and are rushing over. Once we delay, this credit won't fall on us."
As these words fell, the three people looked at each other and had a trace of ferociousness flash across their eyes.
Take action!
Lesi roared suddenly.
As the captains and also the strongest people in the pirate groups, the three people's strength had undoubtedly been unleashed to the extreme.
"Lesi, the Great Noble with a bounty of 70 million Berry, Iron Bone of the Giant Ax with 57 million, Black Tiger Yata with 80 million. With that little girl's strength, she's probably unable to hold on."
Standing at the entrance of the Bumping Shop, Shakuyaku, watching the scene in front of her, couldn't help but shake her head and mutter.
During this time, she hadn't wasted any words to persuade Ain to leave.
However, compared to others returning to the Forsa Sea to look for Kai, Ain had volunteered to stay here.
It was all because Kai had said that they would meet on the Sabaody Archipelago afterward.
Watching the three pirate captains, who had experienced life-and-death battles for a long time, approach Ain with a pincer-like posture, and also Ain's state of being at the end of her rope, Shakuyaku took a deep puff of her cigarette and was just about to throw away the cigarette butt and take action to save her.
The next moment, her expression changed suddenly, and she hurriedly raised her head and looked at the sky.
Under the warning of her Kenbunshoku Haki, an aura was approaching here quickly.
"Little girl, obediently surrender." Lesi took the lead and smiled ferociously. The rapier in his hand stabbed towards Ain crazily like a rain of shooting stars.
At the same time, Iron Bone, who was holding a giant ax, clenched his hands fiercely. The giant ax brought a stern sound of air being torn apart and chopped towards Ain's waist.
Watching this sudden joint attack, Ain's expression changed at once. Without time to think too much, she hurriedly stomped on the ground fiercely.
Shave!
Bang!
Ain disappeared in place like a ghost.
She reappeared more than seven or eight meters away, having moved horizontally and dodged Lion's saturation attack.
In her eyes, as long as she freed her hand to unleash her Devil Fruit ability and nullify the second person's attack, and then counterattacked the third person, she would be able to resolve the predicament.
However, the moment this thought flashed through Ain's mind, a sound of air being torn apart rang out from behind without any warning.
"Sorry, we've prepared a big gift for you!" Black Tiger's ferocious laughter rang out.
Soon, they saw a seastone handcuffs being flipped out by him casually.
In front of everyone, he snapped it on Ain's wrist directly.
The icy coldness that entered her hand swept through her entire body like a cold wind.
Ain had undergone training to resist seastone.
However, an accident had happened from the start. She had already released the seastone not long ago.
There was no way to weaken the effect of the seastone, let alone take action to resist.
The only thing she could do was watch the incoming back of the ax magnify quickly in her pupils.
Rumble!
A black shadow fell from the sky without any warning and landed in front of Ain one step ahead.
The huge impact made the ground collapse with a bang.
Watching the incoming giant ax, without any fancy, he reached out and grabbed it fiercely.
Clang!
The muffled sound of metal colliding resounded suddenly.
The ax, which had been chopped out with a force of ten thousand jun, was stopped in response. The gale that was brought swept away a large amount of sand and dust.
It revealed the figure that had suddenly intervened.
"Instructor!"
Ain called out urgently.
However, when he clearly saw the huge body, which was like an iron tower, in front of him, he was stunned.
"Instructor?" Escanor looked back arrogantly and said, "Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."
"I'm just a hero who has descended from the sky and can't stand so many people bullying a little girl!"
Speaking of this, Escanor looked around again and said, "Are you guys men?"
Men?
The people in the field woke up suddenly. Watching Escanor, who had suddenly intervened, Lesi roared urgently.
"Iron Bone, let's join hands and kill this guy first. Everyone, use your true skills. Don't drag things out here. What if others rush over and take advantage of us?"
However, as these words fell, Lesi was still watching Iron Bone, who was maintaining a face that was red with suffocation.
"I...Iron Bone, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and take the ax back!" Lesi stuttered and asked again urgently.
At this moment, even a blind person would be able to clearly know that the scene in front of them was probably not simple.
"No...he's a monster. His strength is too great!" Iron Bone, who had been holding his breath, released it instantly and shouted urgently.
However, the moment these words fell, Escanor's hand muscles bulged suddenly and snatched the giant ax directly.
"This is how you use an ax!"
As the cold words fell, he grabbed the ax handle with a backhand.
Without any fancy, he chopped towards Iron Bone head-on.
The ax, which was as big as a millstone, needed Iron Bone to use both hands to wield it freely.
However, right now, it was being casually flipped in Kai's hand as if it was nothing and chopped down towards Iron Bone with all his might.
The difference before and after could be clearly distinguished as long as they weren't blind.
Iron Bone didn't have time to think too much. He hurriedly raised both hands, planning to use the iron armor on his arms to defend.
