One Piece: God Killer

Seeing Sanders and Bessie approaching along the pier, many people in the port began to retreat. If this continues, the guard at the port will retreat directly into the town before the two of them enter the port.

"Chong!"

The Sheriff of Zambronn, Matthew Ryan, spent his entire life pulling out his sword from its scabbard and pointing it at Sanders and Bessie. He knew that if no one stood up at this time, the morale of all the defenders would completely collapse.

Matthew Ryan is a native of Zambronn. He has admired the legendary hero Zanbulon since he was a child, so he studied martial arts diligently and developed his skills. After growing up, it was natural for him to join the guard of Zamblon Town.

Since entering the era of great pirates, Matthew Ryan has made great contributions in many battles to defend the town of Zamblon. He has gained great love from the local residents and soon became the local sheriff.

His strong sense of responsibility and love for his homeland prompted him to not back down even when faced with the notorious Redeemer Pirates, but to bravely stand at the forefront of everyone.

Matthew Ryan suppressed the fear in his heart, mustered up all his courage, and tremblingly shouted to the two big pirates whose combined bounty exceeded one billion berries: "I, I, I am Zambu The Sheriff of Long Town, Matthew Ryan, please stop immediately!"

After listening to Matthew Ryan's words, Sanders and Bessie actually stopped.

Sanders broke away from Bessie's support, bowed slowly towards Matthew Ryan, and said: "We have not had water for a long time, and we hope to get some food and water. We No ill will towards the town and will leave immediately after that."

The attitude of the people at the port has changed slightly. Some of them, especially foreign tourists, feel that if they can exchange some food and water for the powerful Redeemer Pirates to retreat, it would be a good choice.

At this time, Matthew Ryan spoke again.

Perhaps it was the boost of confidence brought about by taking the first step, or perhaps it was the confidence brought by Sanders' attitude and weak tone, but Matthew Ryan seemed much calmer. He said loudly: "'The Redeemer Pirates', you attack the navy fleet, attack the nobles and merchants at sea, break the kingdom, kill more than you can lift, and are famous in the sea for your ferocity. I will never believe your words."

Then, he turned around and said loudly to the people at the port: "The words of pirates have never been believed. Now if we give them food and water, then once these guys are full and full, they will definitely rebel. Come and destroy this town! We might as well take advantage of their weakness and drive them out of the port in one go."

Matthew Ryan's words speak to the hearts of most people.

Even Profik had to admit that what he said made sense.

Indeed, not all pirates are bad people. For example, Luffy saved several countries such as Alabasta, Sky Island Golden Land, Fishman Island, Dressrosa, etc. He also helped many people along the way. To some extent, he is more powerful than pirates. Like an adventurer.

There are also some people who value trust and justice among pirates. Like Whitebeard, he sheltered dozens of islands in the New World and treated his crew as family. To a certain extent, he can indeed be regarded as "loyal".

However, compared to the huge base number of pirates, even pirate groups like the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates that know how to manage are very few. People like Luffy, Whitebeard, and Shanks have There are even fewer "good" pirates with a more positive concept of good and evil. Rocks, Golden Lion, Blackbeard, Doflamenco, and Sand Crocodile, these are the "people of the sea" who are eccentric, cruel, treacherous, and scheming. They make waves on the sea with their strength and ambition (Warring States dialect) It is the main body of the pirates. It is they who form the general public's impression of pirates.

One grain of rat droppings can ruin a pot of porridge, let alone how many grains of rice are mixed in a pot of rat droppings? It's no surprise that pirates as a group have an extremely bad reputation.

After listening to Matthew Ryan's words, Sanders sighed, with a dark and painful look in his eyes. He said to Bessie next to him: "Bessie, let's..."

Bessie stretched out her hand to interrupt Sanders. She continued to walk forward and said as she walked: "Mr. Sheriff, our Redeemer Pirates will never kill civilians. As long as we get a little food and fresh water, we promise not to kill civilians." It would disturb the peace of this town.”

"Pirates like you who pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy are too numerous to count on this sea!" Matthew Ryan raised his sword and rushed towards Bessie, "Maybe you really You won't take action against my town, but I can never place my fate on your 'honesty'."

"If you break your promise, countless people will die at your hands."

"Who can guarantee that you can keep your promise?!"

Matthew Ryan certainly knows that it is almost impossible for him to defeat the opponent in front of him. But he didn't dare to promise the other party - if the Redeemer Pirates kept their promise and quit this town after getting the water and food, everyone would naturally be happy. But he has seen and heard of countless treacherous pirates.

Once the Redeemer Pirates have enough to eat and drink, and they turn around and attack the town, there will be irreversible consequences.

Therefore, despite the fear in his heart, Matthew Ryan still bravely swung his sword against the big pirate with a bounty of more than 400 million.

"Bessie!" Seeing that Bessie was about to take action, Sanders warned.

Upon hearing Sanders' words, Bessie paused as she was about to attack, then took half a step back, narrowly dodging Matthew Ryan's attack.

Although Sanders only called her name, with the experience accumulated from many years of companionship, Bessie clearly judged his intention-to ask her to be merciful and not kill Matthew Ryan.

"Emotional depression!"

Matthew Ryan was about to move forward again, but he only felt someone slapped him lightly from behind, and then he couldn't help but feel an unusual feeling of exhaustion, fear, and hesitation. The courage he finally mustered up suddenly disappeared. The spear fell from his hand, and he fell to the ground as if his strength had been drained.

"Okay, let's stop here, Sheriff Mr. Matthew Ryan." Naturally, it was Profic who took action just now. He used the power of the mind fruit a little bit to add a "negative" to Matthew Ryan. "debuff."

The ability of the Mind Fruit is not as buggy as the negative ghost of the Ghost Fruit, and can make a person completely lose all faith in one fell swoop. However, the ability of the mind fruit is more lasting and subtle, making it difficult for people to realize that they are in something wrong.

At this time, Matthew Ryan fell into depression. The courage to risk everything was completely eliminated by Profic's ability. Recalling his "bravery" just now, even Matthew Ryan himself felt incredible. He must have been crazy just now, and he dared to ask for a bounty of more than 400 million. Take action with the 600 million big pirate.

Even if the opponent is in a bad state, he can't deal with it, right?

Why didn't you agree to their conditions just now?

It's over, you will definitely be killed!

Even if he is killed, he still "deserves it"...

With just a simple move, Profic made Matthew Ryan fall into a state of self-doubt.

In fact, logically speaking, Matthew Ryan's statement is not wrong. The reputation of the pirate group is too low. Instead of pinning their fate on the goodwill of the other party, it is better to take advantage of the opponent's poor condition and take a chance. If it were before he obtained the fruit ability, Profic might have made the same decision as Matthew Ryan at this time.

But Profic had the ability of the Mind Fruit. He did not feel the slightest malice from the members of the Redeemer Pirates in front of him. Instead, he felt sincerity when Bessie and Sunderland spoke.

Because of this, Profik was sure that the Redeemer Pirates in front of them really just wanted to replenish some food and water, and had no ill intentions.

Now that the other party's goodwill is known, handing the food to the Redeemer Pirates is not only not a dangerous move that may endanger the enemy, but may actually create a good relationship with this famous pirate.

Therefore, he chose to take decisive action to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

After all, the dangerous aura constantly coming from the Haki of Seeing Color reminded him that if the Redeemer Pirates changed their minds and decided to attack Zamblon Town, even if the entire island's power combined, they would not be their opponent. .

"As for the question you just raised, I will guarantee it."

Profik stood firmly between Matthew Ryan, who fell to the ground, and Bessie, who hurriedly stopped her move, and said loudly.

Coupled with the ability of the fruit of the soul, his voice was transmitted to the hearts of everyone in the port.
