Chapter 16: [16]Public execution
Chapter 16: [16]Public execution
The moment Arlong was defeated, he fell in the floor, unconscious.
Ren heard many notification from the system in his mind but he didn't open the system now, especially when he saw the two girls hugging him.
Nojiko and Nami were hugging Ren from all sides, with their heads lowered and looking tired from crying so much.
"Oi, You know that crying so much is not good for your health?"
The sisters didn't respond and remained stuck to him like a glue.
After Ren reassured them, they separated from his embrace, but they stayed with him.
Ren looked at the happy villagers shouting excitedly and then said: "calm!"
The next moment, the people stopped and looked at the man who had defeated Arlong with reverence and gratitude In their eyes, they were waiting for what he would say.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ren and as you can see,i'am who defeated Arlong and his crew I will now ask you to do what I say."
'We understand, Ren-san!" the crowd responded in unison.
"That's good, now I want you to burn the bodies of the Fish-Men who died and get some chains to bind the rest." Ren ordered the villagers in front of him, he doesn't have to do all the work himself right? He freed them from a local tyrant shouldn't they have to work a little.
People started to do what Ren said and started a big fire using large amounts of firewood and threw the bodies of the dead fish-Men into it.
While Arlong, who was unconscious, Hatchi, Kuroobi, and Chew were tied up with many chains.
Without Ren or anyone knowing, a cow-like monster with earrings in its nose escaped to the bottom of the ocean with tears continuing to leak from his eyes...
"Ne~, Ren, what are you going to do with them?" Nojiko asked, and grabbed Ren's left hand and squeezed it in a bold manner.
Ren felt Nojiko's soft Tits but he didn't move his hand cause he liked the feeling. Then he answered Nojiko: "Of course I will execute them. Did you think I would let them live another day?"
"You're the best, Ren!" Nojiko laughed and she placed a small kiss on his cheek.
Nami looked at this scene in shock, she started to slightly guess the relationship between her sister and Ren.
she said in her heart: 'I'm jealous!!', she wished to be with Ren too, the one who ended her suffering, the one who took revenge on Arlong for her, handsome, strong and rich, he was perfect!
"By the way girls, I have something I want to say, but if you-" Ren didn't finish his words because an annoying voice interrupted him.
"Stop where you are! Justice has arrived!"
Ren looked at the source of the voice and saw a man dressed in marine clothing who looked like a rat.
"You...Nezumi!" Nami immediately screamed in anger when she saw Nezumi.
"We have come to take away the dangerous pirate Arlong who was shot down by our marines, how dare you do what you will with their corpses?!" the rat Nezumi said and pretended to be stupid.
"you!"Nami couldn't bear another word from this bastard's mouth and screamed at him angrily.
"I am what? I am justice, but you are just a thief. Look at the money you stole, which will be taken by us, the marine!"Nezumi pointed to some marine who were carrying an old box that seemed to be filled with something.
"This is my money, give it back!" Nami saw the box of money she had worked so hard to collect over the past 8 years and was no longer able to control herself and was going to pounce on the other party.
"Don't worry Nami, I will take care of the case here Just watch." She was quickly stopped by Ren's strong hand.
Nami didn't resist and stepped back as she looked forward to what he was going to do.
Nojiko also, she looked at Nezumi with hatred and disgust, wanting Ren to teach him a hard lesson.
But she didn't expect him to do more than this.
Turning back to Ren who was slowly advancing towards Nezumi, the rat looked at him mockingly and shouted angrily: "Stop, you idiot! You dare to oppose justice?!"
Ren didn't bother answering him and slowly approached him while checking his jacket pocket.
"Oh!, you,go and beat up that criminal and put him in prison!"
Nezumi ordered one of the marine, the latter complied and ran towards Ren quickly.
*Boom!*
The moment the marine was attacking Ren, the latter actually took out his gun and shot him directly in the head!
The marine's body fell to the ground and blood began to flow from the hole in his head. He died looking at his killer with hatred and surprise.
"..."
The area fell into deep silence, even Nojiko and Nami didn't expect Ren to attack the Marines and kill them so casually.
Although everyone saw him killing the Fishmen, this could be justified by the fact that they were pirates and villains. But what about the marines?
Even if the Marines here were corrupt and disgusting, it would still be difficult for you to escape justice if you killed them.
Of course Nojiko and Nami had these thoughts because they didn't know yet that Ren was a pirate in the first place!
"Y-You...you killed him! You have no escape from justice now!" Nezumi angrily shouted at Ren and signaled to his other subordinates to prepare to attack.
"I know I killed him, you don't need to scream that like a little bitch, besides isn't it normal for pirates to kill marines?" Ren stepped over the dead marine's body and calmly announced
his identity.
"P-Pirate?!" Nojiko was surprised by Ren's words but she quickly regained her calm with a deep determination in her eyes, she had already decided in her heart that even if Ren was a demon, she would still love him.
Nami, who was also surprised, didn't care much and simply commented: "It doesn't matter if he is a pirate or not, I'll still..."
Others villagers were discussing each other as usual, but their opinion didn't matter.
"Then you are a vile pirate! No wonder you are killing our soldiers of justice, kill him!"
The Marines moved quickly towards Ren but the latter was already prepared and started shooting at them, hunting them down with one bullet to the head for each one of them.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The sound of gunfire continued to occur periodically inside Arlong Park and the Marines were noticeably decreasing in number every second.
Nezumi, who saw this, ordered his subordinates carrying the money box to come with him
and began to escape towards the marine base via the ship that was vertical in the water.
"Where do you want to go, little Rat?" Ren, who killed all the marines, had already reached
Nezumi, who tried to escape to the marine branch.
"Y-You! You better not do anything to me! I'm a mari-"
*Bam!*
Ren punched him hard in the stomach, Nezumi's eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
The soldiers carrying the money box screamed, put it on the ground, and fled in different directions like headless chickens.
Ren didn't bother to follow them and simply pulled the trigger of his gun, aiming a bullet at each one of them, carefully drilling into their heads.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
In the arena, all the marines who landed on the ground were killed, while the others who were
in the warship escaped. You might be wondering why they don't bombard Ren with the artillery in the ship? Well, that's because he holds the unconscious Nezumi in his hands, pointing the gun at his head
The message was clear to the Marines and they didn't dare risk Nezumi's death.
"Back off!"
An officer ordered and the warship began to depart towards the marine Branch.
But before that, one of the Marines had taken out a camera and taken a good pic of Ren, who
hadn't noticed it.
Ren took the money box and lifted it with one hand, then returned to Nami, who she smiled at
him and placed a kiss on his cheek, then ran away in embarrassment.
Nojiko: "..."
Nojiko didn't mind Ren and Nami becoming lovers, in fact she was excited...She imagined the
scene and quickly blushed and felt her body begin to heat up.
She remembered that Ren had told her that they would do "this" after beating Arlong.
All the villagers gathered in a large square. They had been notified That Arlong had been
defeated cause of a man named Ren. Naturally, they were happy about and wanted to
celebrate for a few days.
But soon word spread that the person who defeated Arlong wanted them to meet to attend the
execution.
Yes, Ren was going to publicly execute Arlong, his Three officers and Nezumi. "Look! That mam is Ren, he's so handsome!" A woman who looked to be in her twenties
shouted when she saw Ren walking out with Nojiko and Nami. This woman was present when Ren was fighting Arlong so she naturally recognized him.
Ren walked towards the villagers and stood on a platform that had been specially prepared for
the execution.
"Hello everyone, first I want to introduce myself to people who don't know who I am. I am Ren, a pirate and also the person who captured Arlong and his crew."
After hearing Ren's words, the people erupted into noise again, especially discussing about
"pirate" word.
"Calm down."
It was Genzo who said this, as the village mayor for several years people naturally trusted him
and they quickly calme down.
As for why Ren made all this noise and bothered with this public execution?
All this is because the people in this village, because Marine Captain Nezumi will also be
executed. Who knows what will happen after he leaves the village and if the Marines are crazy enough to eliminate this village on charges of killing Nezumi?
That's why he wanted to reveal his identity as a pirate, first in order to exonerate the villagers,
even though he doesn't care about them, but Nojiko and Nami do.
They were the future members of his crew and Nojiko his girlfriend, also Nami would be his
girlfriend soon, so he didn't want to see them sad.
Secondly, he wants to humiliate the marine in order to get a high bounty.
Maybe he can finish a hidden mission this way, who knows?
After calming down the villagers, Ren waved his hand, then five men quickly entered who
were residents of the village but their faces were hidden, they were dragging five people. They were Arlong, Kuroobi, Hatchi, Chew, and Nezumi.
The five people were dragged on the ground filled with gravel and dirt while screaming in
pain but they couldn't do anything because Ren had beaten them previously.
"You vile humans!! How dare you treat me like this!! I'am Arlo-"
*Bang!*
Arlong was unable to complete his words until a bullet was fired into his leg and he began to
scream in more pain.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"It seems you haven't learned how to be obedient yet, Fish!"
Ren, who had fired earlier, was looking at Arlong sarcastically.
"I'm a Marine! How dare you do this to me- AHHH!!"
Nezumi, who wanted to threaten Ren by being a marine, couldn't help but scream when Ren
stood in front of him and stepped on his face, introducing him.
"Bastard!!Aghh!!"
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
This wasn't the sound of gunfire, it was Ren who started kicking Nezumi's face until he broke
his nose and changed his features.
"Hmph, you don't really know your situation, little Rat."
Ren no longer bothered dealing with these people and ordered the five men to be brought to
the execution area.
The five prisoners arrived at the execution area under the eyes of the crowd, who began
whistling, screaming, and hurling all kinds of insults at them.
Hatchi had already started crying, and Arlong had an ugly expression but there was nothing he
could do in this situation, and as for Nezumi, he could no longer speak after all his teeth and nose were broken.
Kuroobi and Chew bowed their heads down and seemed to have accepted their fate. The five knelt down under the eyes of all the disgruntled villagers. "You can back off." Ren said to the five men who did as they were ordered.
"Do you want me to kill them?" Ren shouted and all the villagers could hear him.
"Kill them!"
"Yes yes, they killed my father!"
"They killed my little sister because we don't have enough money!"
My father died at work to collect the required money for them!"
"Kill them please!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Kill them!"
The crowd shouted madly. Nezumi looked at this in horror and tears began to fall from his eyes. Hatchi was still crying and repeating the phrase "I don't want to die, I'm sorry!" Nami, who saw this scene, was about to go to Ren and say something to him, but Nojiko's
hand stopped her.
"Stop, Nami. Have you forgotten what they did to us? Especially you! You are the one who
suffered the most among us. A kind heart is good, but in these cases, cruelty is necessary." Nojiko hugged her sister and said to her quietly.
"I..." Nami froze when she heard Nojiko's words. After a short while, she nodded and said to
her sister: "Un, I understand Nojiko! I will watch what happens here without regret!" "That's my sister!" Nojiko patted Nami on the head.
Away from this short conversation between Nami and Nojiko, Ren looked at the five kneeling
people and said in a loud voice:
"With this, the matter is decided!"
He took out his golden pistol and shot into the sky to stop the screaming crowd.
Soon the area was silent again. "The execution... will begin!"
