I am brushing up materials in One Piece

The old man wearing a pink cotton hat was naturally the owner of the puppy Xiu Xiu. He smiled and looked at Kos who was squatting on the ground and wanted to interact with Xiu Xiu.

This made Cos feel a little embarrassed, after all, he wanted to pet the dog without the owner's consent.

"I just think this puppy is cute, and I just want to tease him, nothing else."

The old man in the cotton hat still smiled and said: "No need to explain, I can see that you don't have any ill intentions. It's just that this child Xiu Xiu was abandoned, so he basically doesn't get close to anyone else except me."

As if to prove that his master was right, he trotted to the old man's feet and rubbed his trouser legs.

Seeing the old man and the puppy being intimate, Cos smiled knowingly, but then he noticed the old man's thin body and somewhat erratic pace, and he realized that the old man might be about to pass away.

But he believed that the old man himself probably knew this very well, so he didn't say anything more and just explained his purpose.

"Okay, cat food No. 21, right? That's the number the Murray kid likes best."

The old man knelt down and touched Xiu Xiu's head and pointed to the place where he had just squatted. The puppy immediately ran over happily and continued to stand guard.

Then he took Cos into the pet food store and took out three large bags of No. 21 cat food.

"Tell Murray when I go back that his children like to eat cat food No. 21. I might not be here next time I come back. It would be better for him to remember it."

The old man said without hesitation when Kos went out.

"Okay, okay."

Kos was a little surprised by the old man's calmness, but he didn't say much and just nodded silently.

When he returned to the merchant ship and told Murray the news, the tall man was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I remember, cat food No. 21."

The incident in Orange Town was just a small episode. The merchant ship set sail in the afternoon and headed towards Shuangyue Village carrying a ship of people and goods.

The first night, everything was normal, just like the past few days.

But the next morning, a ship flying a pirate flag appeared in front of the merchant ship.

With the experience of encountering the Shamat Pirates, Kos immediately thought that the other party was also an inexperienced pirate group, but when he saw the other party's pirate flag clearly, his expression froze.

Because there is a bright red circle on the pirate flag, which is a pattern somewhat similar to the Red Apple Chamber of Commerce logo - it is a big red nose!

"Be careful! It's hard to deal with the other side."

Kos spoke out to remind everyone in the escort team.

Although the Bucky Pirates tend to be more of a funny character, they are still a tens of millions of pirates. Now Kos and the people in the escort team have not yet looked down upon their qualifications.

"That fancy pirate ship..."

Murray was also a little confused because of the reason why he killed the Matt Pirates before, but he quickly chose to believe Kos.

"Seth go get my knife and Clay go tell the others to take cover."

By the time Murray held the broadsword in his hand, they could already see the people on the Bucky Pirates' ship.

There are three, no, it should be said four figures that Kos is familiar with.

One is a lion with white fur and red eyes. Is it called Kili or Liki? The other two are the animal trainer Mochi wearing a fur coat and Kabaji with his long side bangs covering half of his face. The last one is naturally Baji. Bucky the Clown, the leader of the Pirates, was angry. For some reason, he was so angry that he split his body into several pieces and jumped up and down, as if he had been severely provoked by someone.

Kos looked back at the Red Apple Chamber of Commerce logo on the merchant ship, and he understood why Bucky did that.

When he could see the members of the Buggy Pirates, Cos knew their strength level. Among them, Buggy was naturally the highest - LV27, Split Fruit LV4, Wisdom Color Haki LV1, Armed Color Haki LV1, although some did not dare I believe it, but he seems to be really domineering. Should he be said to be a crew member of the Pirate King?

The other people are much worse: Kabaji is at LV21, swordsmanship at LV2; Mochi is at LV19; the lion is at LV22, and the other miscellaneous fish are generally around level ten.

After comparing the combat power of the two sides, Kos found that his side was obviously weaker than the Bucky Pirates, but the gap in this level could still be made up through some tactics.

"The red-nosed clown is a devil fruit user. He can split his body, so he is not afraid of slashes, so try to attack with blunt objects or the side of a knife. Also, be careful of his attacks at tricky angles; that long Also pay special attention to the slanted bangs, that guy is a bit sinister; and the guy in the weird fur and the white lion are also very strong.”

However, even if he barely knows himself and his enemy, Kos is still a little worried. No matter what, he is still a lot behind. Even if he can win, it will definitely not be easy.

But probably sensing Kos's worry, Murray patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, we are not the only ones who have to fight. We don't even have to fight. If they dare to charge forward, it's them." Biggest mistake."

Before Murray finished speaking, Cos noticed that the merchant ship was turning to face the pirate ship heading towards it.

"The merchant ships of the Red Apple Chamber of Commerce are equipped with the best artillery, capable of crushing all pirate ships."

Murray looked confident, without any hint of worry.

Kos, who ran to the side of the ship, stuck his head out and looked down, and found that a row of dark gun muzzles had indeed been protruded from the ship's hull, pointing at the pirate ship that had been turned to the side of the merchant ship.

But after seeing those cannons, Kos remembered that Bucky seemed to have special Bucky bombs. When he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Bucky's pirate ship, he found that a cannon was pushed up on the opposite deck.

Generally speaking, artillery on seagoing ships are arranged on both sides of the ship. This is why Murray has always emphasized the front and sides, because only by facing the enemy from the side can the artillery be used to cause damage to enemy ships, but Bucky The pirate group is obviously not in the "normal" category.

The rest of the escort team were confused when they saw the cannon appearing on the Bucky Pirates' ship, but they didn't panic. After all, there were more cannons on the merchant ship.

only……

"boom--"

It was Bucky who fired first. The one with the skull painted on it destroyed the side of the merchant ship and entered the cabin without any hindrance. It was followed by a violent explosion——

"Boom—"

The merchant ship, which was dozens of meters long, broke into two pieces.

"Boom - boom -"

The explosion of the Bucky bomb seemed to detonate the ammunition compartment on the merchant ship, and a series of explosions followed one after another.

Kos, who was in the midst of the explosion, felt as if the whole world had slowed down. He first looked around. The members of the escort had panic and self-doubt on their faces.

It's just that the feeling is one thing, but the fact is another. Kos and the members of the escort were actually instantly blown away by the blast of air.

When they fell into the sea and resurfaced, they found that the place that was originally a merchant ship had turned into a purgatory of flesh and blood mixed with broken boards, and wailing and cries for help.

Among the severed limbs and broken hulls, for some reason, the first thing Cos saw was the little girl he had met once in the cafeteria.

only--

The next moment, another cannonball fell next to the girl.

Then Cos suddenly understood something - it turns out that cannons can kill people
