Pirates Devouring Fruit

“Damn you, I will kill you even if I die.” A man saw the iron net in front of him and tried to resist desperately but was shot to death by a man on horseback.
“Wow, why do I have to encounter something like this?! I don’t want to die!!!”
“We are all human beings, how can you do this! Please!!”
The forest, which was silent in darkness, was now filled with cries for mercy.
But within a moment, accompanied by the flash of cold light from the sharp blade and the sound of the cold weapon cutting into the body, the screams reached a peak and then gradually began to subside.
“Humph, you are just the higher-level beasts in my hunting ground. You should be grateful that I let you be my prey. It is your honor to die in my hands!”
The king, wearing a crown and a gorgeous robe, rode on a horse with a bow and arrow in his hand, and his servant held the reins. He shot arrows one by one, reaping lives.
The guards next to him silently held up their shields to prevent possible resistance.
The surrounding soldiers held torches to illuminate the dark forest. The flickering torches made the environment look even more gloomy and terrifying.
The approaching fire illuminated the king’s face.
He had shoulder-length, slightly curly hair combed behind his head. He had a high nose bridge and light eyebrows. His cheeks looked slightly sunken, and there was an inexplicably cruel smile at the corners of his mouth.
“Someone will definitely punish you! You tyrant!” A surviving man growled unwillingly while covering the wound on his stomach.
“Sanctions? Are you kidding me?” He started laughing crazily as if he had heard something funny.
The king on horseback showed a cruel grin: “This game is a popular game taught to me by the Dragon Master. I heard from the Dragon Master that he will go on a cruise around the world later. I have invited the Dragon Master to come here to hunt!”
The king licked his lips and said with a playful look: “Do you think the World Government, as a lackey of the Celestial Dragons, has the ability to sanction me?
“Even if they know, what can they do? The World Government might send CP’s organization or the navy to protect me!” The king looked at the man with disdain.
“Hunting at night is a different experience. Seeing you guys desperately trying to escape and hide, I’m sure the Celestial Dragons will also like my new way of playing. Thank you so much for helping me test it!”
“You…” The man had a look of resentment and unwillingness on his face. He watched the blood flow from the wound helplessly and finally died with his eyes open.
The king showed a cruel smile on his sunken and thin face. He looked at the seriously injured man who died unwillingly and waved his hand with disdain. He said casually: “Throw it outside and give it to the wild beasts in the forest outside.”
Leaving a group of people to clean up the bodies, the king rode his horse slowly in the dark night.
On the other side, Sora and others who saw this scene immediately wanted to take action, but Dawn had been using his Observation Haki since he hid in the tree and was paying attention to the movements around him.
Naturally noticing the actions of the people around him at this moment, Dwayne couldn’t help but say in a low voice: “Don’t be impulsive, calm down!”
At the same time, he also used his ability to compress the surrounding air to trap Sora, Berigud, Shalinkul, and Xiuen who wanted to riot, especially their mouths were sealed tightly.
As for Tina, although she was extremely angry, she was still able to restrain herself. As for Hawkins, he was as silent as ever behind Dawn.
“Air travel!” Dawn trapped a few people and made them float up, then used his ability to fly silently towards the outside.
With his current level of development of abilities and physical strength, it is naturally different from before.
Nowadays, this can be said to have become Dwayne’s regular skill. He can imprison several people in the air without considering the speed and it does not waste much of Dwayne’s physical strength.
Just by flying, Dawn’s strength, survivability and other aspects have increased significantly.
Tina and Hawkins walked on the translucent road created by Dawn, following him silently towards the outside.
But now that the secret of the hunting park has been figured out, the most urgent thing is to evacuate the hunting park first. Otherwise, if these people get carried away and act impulsively, bad things will happen.
After several people climbed over the wall and came to the center of the forest, Dawn let go of them. At this moment, they had calmed down, otherwise Dawn’s restraint would not be able to trap them.
But even though he calmed down, the chill on his face deepened. Dawn looked at the few people who didn’t yell or act recklessly and nodded with satisfaction:
“Very good. Although you are angry, you are able to control your emotions. This proves that you are not controlled by your emotions. Learning to control your emotions is a quality that a strong person should have.” After saying this, Dawn glanced at a few people and continued speaking.
Dawn sat down casually against the tree roots and said slowly, “If you were really swayed by your emotions just now, we would have been at a disadvantage if we alerted the enemy. Now let’s analyze it based on our intelligence.”
Everyone nodded and began to reconstruct the whole story and the truth based on the known information and guesswork.
First of all, Uncle Tucker said that the hunting team heard a cry for help on the wall, and the body found by Dawn and his team, together with the evidence from each other, can prove that the other party was killed by the king as a hunted person.
After that, there is an iron net as high as the outer wall, which was set up by the king to prevent the “prey” from escaping.
Judging from the bloodstains and environment around him, the man who died on the wall might have climbed over the iron net with iron spikes with his bare hands, and then luckily avoided the attack of the wild beasts between the wall and the iron net and ran to the outermost wall.
Unfortunately, he failed to reach the wall and was caught up in despair…
Perhaps cutting down the trees around the wall was also intended to prevent the enemy from climbing up the trees and escaping to the forest.
Starting from the innermost cage with iron spikes like thorns, letting in humans for hunting, to cutting down the trees around the walls and the outer area where wild beasts roam.
All of this was done to prevent these people from escaping. Even the hut was built to play with the psychology of the prey, or even for some kind of evil fun.
Finally, if the prey accidentally escapes from the iron cage, the wounded prey will attract the attention of wild beasts because of the smell of blood.
Even if they were lucky enough to avoid the wild beasts and reach the outermost wall by relying on the hut, they would still face despair because they could not climb out of the towering wall due to the “isolation zone” formed by cutting down the trees.
The final result is being shot by pursuers or being trapped in the hut and waiting to die.
Carnivorous animals have been rampant for two consecutive years. Perhaps the king threw the carcasses used for “hunting games” into the forest, providing the carnivorous animals with sufficient food.
This is not Hunter Island at all, but “Hunter” Island where people enjoy hunting their own kind!
Chapter 126 Dawn’s Justice
The dark night seemed particularly peaceful, but for Dawn and others, this tranquility seemed particularly bloody.
After seeing the scene in the hunting park, everyone naturally came to a conclusion. Naturally, they were filled with anger at such a result.
“Damn it! I didn’t expect this king to be so cruel. I will report this to Ou An and Brigadier General Da Jin and have the Brigadier General report this to the Navy Headquarters!” Xialinkul punched the tree trunk next to him, causing the small trunk to shake.
Obviously, no matter whether it was Charlinkur or Berrygood, the first thing they thought of was to report it to the top naval officials for handling.
“It’s useless. Didn’t you hear what the king said? The king has the Celestial Dragons behind him, and the hunting ground was also built for the Celestial Dragons.”
After the impulse, Sora, who was always carefree, was the first to calm down and spoke in a cold tone.
“Sora is right. I’m afraid that even if we report this to the Marine Headquarters, the headquarters will eventually drop the matter due to pressure from the World Government. The Celestial Dragons are standing behind them.” Tina analyzed as she sat next to Dawn.
The two girls’ performance at this moment was obviously more mature and calm than the boys of the same age in Xialinkul.
Or maybe it was because Dawn’s usual calmness influenced the two girls, Tina and Sora?
But it must be said that Dawn has a closer relationship with the two girls.
For example, Tina is her deskmate and childhood sweetheart, and Dawn has an adult soul in his body, so naturally when he gets along with Tina, he unconsciously takes care of her in an adult way. Naturally, Tina admired Dawn very much when she was a child.
Sora was a teammate in the same training at the beginning, and later became Dawn’s loyal follower after he saved her life. And because she had a carefree personality like a tomboy sister, Dawn unconsciously took care of her more.
After that, whether the group was training, sailing out for actual combat, or gaining experience, their maturity, which was different from that of Berrygood and others, left a deep impression on everyone.
Comparing it to other boys like Berrygood, there is simply no comparison. Especially during the time Dawn stayed in Beihai, it highlighted Dawn’s attentiveness and care.
The Genji Project…cough cough cough…
It can be said that Dwayne has already gained a lot of favorability in the hearts of the two without realizing it.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Xialinkul and others don’t have a bad relationship with Dawn or don’t trust him. It’s just that they subconsciously feel that this matter is too important and beyond their ability to handle.
Otherwise, why do they say “A daughter who is married off is like spilled water…” When a girl grows up, she will be outward-looking. (Funny laugh)
“Then what should we do? This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work. Let’s just attack directly.” Xialinkul scratched his head angrily.
“Do you want to be wanted by the navy?” Dawn rolled his eyes at Xialinkul.
“And if this matter is exposed, then he who has flattered the Celestial Dragons might be protected by the World Government or the Navy because of the Celestial Dragons’ protection. To the World Government, the Celestial Dragons are the most supreme existence!” Dawn said in a cold tone.
“And if a king pleases the Celestial Dragons like this, the World Government might even protect him and make him an example to prove that those who are close to the Celestial Dragons and the World Government will be protected.”
Dawn sneered and said, “Then we will be the ones to be silenced.”
“Then what should we do!” Xialinkul felt a sense of powerlessness weighing on him, and he didn’t know how to vent his anger.
What is most infuriating is that the king actually mentioned that he built this hunting ground in order to please the Celestial Dragons, and this was just because of the popular game among the Celestial Dragons!
And the king of Hunter Island, in order to please the Celestial Dragons, hunted so many people like wild beasts.
Everyone present knew clearly the affiliation between the Celestial Dragons, the World Government and the Navy. It was precisely because of this that the people who aspired to uphold justice were so confused when they saw how tyrannical and cruel the Celestial Dragons were.
“Is this the kind of justice I want to uphold? Is this the kind of person I want to protect?”
“Will I become an accomplice at some point in the execution of the mission? Protecting the murderer who killed innocent lives?”
“Why can they treat human lives as consumables so recklessly? And as the “righteous” navy, we have to protect such people?”
For a moment, everyone felt heavy-hearted and confused. After all, they were just a group of immature teenagers who didn’t know what to do when faced with setbacks.
It was quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere around was a little frozen.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t told you yet what my goal or dream is. Now let’s talk about our dreams.” Dawn stood up and said slowly.
“What are you talking about suddenly…” Berrygood was a little confused for a moment when he heard this irrelevant topic.
“If we continue in this state, even if we can save someone, we won’t be able to do so because of your state!” So let’s change our mood now. Dawn looked at them and smiled.
“Hawkins, you go first.” Knowing that they were a little slow to react, Dawn simply pointed to Hawkins. Anyway, Dawn could almost guess what Hawkins was going to say…
As expected, Hawkins stood up and said calmly, “I want to follow Dawn, because my ability cannot predict his ability, and I want to see what kind of impact it will have on me.”
“Tina.” Dawn looked at Tina beside him and encouraged her with his eyes.
“Well… develop your abilities better so that you can better help your teammates.” But no one noticed that Tina glanced at Dawn in the dark.
When it was Sora’s turn, Tigress said casually, “Of course I’ll stay with Dawn. This way I’ll get to try a lot of new and exotic food. The food Dawn invented is delicious!”
When they heard the first half, everyone was still surprised at Sora’s boldness, but after hearing the second half, they understood a little.
The dishes made by Dawn are really delicious, and many of them are unique dishes that have never been seen before are really attractive and in line with the personality of Sora, a foodie.
However, Dawn was a little amused and confused when he heard this answer. To be honest, his skills were just average, but as his strength improved, his control over his body also improved.
In addition, since they lived in a country of foodies in their previous life, they have naturally seen and eaten a lot. What seems to be very creative dishes are actually just ordinary dishes in their previous life.
“Dawn, what is your goal? I want to hear your dream first.” Just when Dawn was about to ask Berrygood and the other two to point at each other one by one, the silent Xiuen asked.
Looking at Berigood and the other two who were staring at him with curiosity, Dawn thought that if he didn’t say it first, the three of them might not say anything.
Thinking of this, Dawn stood up and looked around, then said to his companions in a firm tone, “Justice that distinguishes between black and white, this is the path I want to take.
I will lead the Navy to the true “justice, not the current “justice” that accommodates darkness itself but is bound by it.”
“Interesting, then let me see how you grow and whether you can lead the navy to true “justice”. As for the matter that bothers you, leave it to me first!”
In the darkness, a sudden voice rang in the ears of several people!
