Chapter 144 - 144: Everyone, Get Down and Don’t Move! "Boom!!" With a loud crash, the door of a casino in Mock Town was kicked open. Ryuen stood at the entrance, shouting, "Everyone, get down, hands on your heads, and don't move!" His voice thundered like a storm, shaking the entire casino. Immediately, the rest of the Dream Crew rushed in from both sides, swiftly blocking all the exits. No one was getting out! "Bastards!" "Who do you think you are?" "You dare cause trouble here? Do you even know whose territory this is?" The casino staff shouted angrily at Ryuen and the others. They couldn't believe someone would dare barge into their turf so brazenly, and their anger was boiling over. At that moment, Robin closed her eyes, crossed her arms, and activated her Devil Fruit power. "Thirty Flower Blooms." "Restrain!" In an instant, she had all the casino staff under her control. "Ah!" "It hurts!" "This is... a Devil Fruit user!" The people in the casino screamed in terror. They had never seen such a powerful Devil Fruit ability before. Chaos erupted as people scrambled to escape, trying to avoid the sudden disaster. "Dead end!" Kuina said coldly. "Clang!" "Boom!!" She drew her sword, Wado Ichimonji, and slashed toward a window on the other side. A sharp blade of sword energy shot out, shattering the window into pieces. "A... a swordmaster!" "This woman... she's a swordmaster!" The people in the casino, seeing Kuina's slash, immediately turned pale with fear. They stared wide-eyed, disbelief written all over their faces as they looked at the gleaming sword in Kuina's hand. Fear gripped their hearts. This was a legendary swordmaster! How could small-time thugs like them possibly stand a chance? Even those who had been trying to escape moments ago now fell silent. A powerful Devil Fruit user and a young swordmaster? With their measly skills, there was no way they could get away! "Ahem..." "So, can you all get down and put your hands on your heads now?" Ryuen scanned the room, his gaze cold and sharp, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts. His voice was calm but carried an undeniable authority. Hearing Ryuen's words, no one dared to resist. They all clasped their heads and slowly crouched down, moving in unison. The casino fell into complete silence. "Alright, Nami, it's your turn now," Ryuen said, turning to Nami with a soft smile. "Hehehe..." "Leave the rest to me," Nami said with a grin, her eyes sparkling with a hint of greed. *Creak~~~* The sound of the door opening echoed through the casino. The people inside glanced up, and their eyes widened in fear as they realized what was happening. Another Devil Fruit user! Their luck had truly run out today. Not only were there two Devil Fruit users here, but also a master swordsman... Nami pulled out a stack of wanted posters from her dimensional space. *Ahem...* Nami took a deep breath and then called out in a firm yet sweet voice, "When I call your name, step into the middle of the casino. Understood?" Her eyes swept across the room, trying to convey her seriousness and determination. "Understood~" "Got it~~" After Nami's voice faded, the people in the casino began to respond, though some still hesitated, clearly reluctant. "Captain of the Rhino Pirates, bounty 12 million Berries, Hammer Jonbra." At the sound of his name, a tall man wielding a massive hammer stepped forward from the crowd. His face showed a mix of disdain and arrogance, clearly unbothered by being called out. "Captain of the Madara Horse Pirates, bounty 17 million Berries, Dual Guns Fleet." This time, a man wearing a Madara Horse-patterned outfit stepped forward. He held a pistol in each hand, with several daggers hanging from his waist, looking every bit the fierce pirate. "Captain of the Kam Pirates, bounty 14 million Berries, Mad Dog Kam." ... As more names were called, more pirates stepped out from the crowd and gathered in the center of the casino. Some wore smiles, while others had fierce expressions, as if they were looking forward to what was about to happen. Finally, Nami called out, "Captain of the Roshio Pirates, bounty 42 million Berries, Executioner Roshio." At the sound of this name, a murmur of awe spread through the crowd. Roshio was a notorious pirate in the Grand Line, known for his cruelty and ruthlessness. His bounty was also the highest among those present. "All of you, step forward!" Nami put on a fierce expression, trying to appear more authoritative. However, no one moved immediately. They glanced at each other, unsure of what Nami was planning. "Hurry up!" Daisy roared when she saw no one moving. Her shout snapped the pirates out of their hesitation, and they quickly stepped out of the crowd, gathering in the center of the casino. The once-crowded casino suddenly felt much more spacious, with the dozen or so pirates now the center of attention. *Clang!!!* *Boom!* *Crash!!!* With a series of loud noises, another flying slash cut through the air, narrowly missing the group of pirates and leaving a deep gash in the wall behind them. The faces of everyone in the casino turned even paler as they stared in horror at the scene before them, unable to believe their eyes. "Don't make any unnecessary moves, or the next slash will be aimed at you!" Kuina warned coldly, her eyes sweeping over the dozen or so pirates. Her voice was icy, and her gaze was filled with authority and ruthlessness, making the pirates shiver. At that moment, Hog stepped out from the crowd, holding a long chain made of seastone. Under everyone's watchful eyes, one pirate captain after another was bound by the chain, their bodies tightly restrained and unable to move. Each pirate captain wore an expression of despair and fear, knowing there was no chance of escape. The rest of the people in the casino stood to the side, silently watching everything unfold. Their faces showed no emotion, and some even felt a sense of relief. Finally, these notorious pirate captains were getting the punishment they deserved. They would no longer be able to wreak havoc. Especially the executioner, Bellamy, who had been terrorizing Mock Town for months. Many lives had been lost because of him. "Hehehe~~~" "We're going to be rich! Ryuen, did you notify the Marines?" Nami asked, looking at the pirates as if they were piles of berries. "Relax, you little money-grubber." "I've already informed Marine Headquarters. I heard a Vice Admiral is leading the team coming here," Ryuen said, rolling his eyes at Nami. The rest of the crew chuckled. This time, they had really hit a small jackpot. They hadn't expected to find so many wanted criminals here. Hehehe~~~ --- ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
