Chapter 228 Run!

“You’re a very accurate shooter, kid. You almost shot me in the head.”

“Who did you learn shooting from? Or did you practice on your own?”

“What’s your name? Are you from the village we were in earlier?”

“Also, where were you hiding just now? Why couldn’t I find you no matter how hard I looked?”

“…”

“Hey, kid, you don’t want to talk, right?”

On the way down the mountain, Diamanti picked up Xia He, raised his hand and punched him in the stomach.

boom!
A soft sound.

“Wow!”

Another mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

This made Xia He, who was already seriously injured, even weaker.

He didn’t even have breakfast today, so there was nothing in his stomach to digest. Therefore, even though he had the [Sit-up Physique], he had no way of relying on this talent to heal himself.

“You’re really tough.”

“They are much better than the group of kids Torrebol brought back last time.”

He sighed a few more times.

Not long after.

Diamanti finally appeared at the foot of the mountain with Xia He.

However, as soon as he came out of the woods, Diamanti was surprised by the scene in front of him.

It was not for any other reason, but because the other twenty or so Square Soldiers he led were all lying on the ground at this moment.

The corpse of the pirate…

The corpse of the beast…

The corpses of the villagers…

There were bloodstains everywhere, from the entrance of the forest all the way to the end of the village.

Such a bloody scene made Diamanti’s eyelids twitch wildly.

It’s not because I feel physically uncomfortable with such scenes, but because I’m angry.

After all, he had been sailing with Doflamingo for more than ten years and had long been accustomed to it.

Not to mention ordinary corpses, even if there were broken limbs, flesh and bones scattered all over the ground, he would never blink an eye.

“These damn guys…are really, really brave…”

Veins covered Diamante’s forehead.

Then, he glanced around and soon cast his gaze on the sheriff’s team members led by Kedemo and the male villagers near the pile of corpses.

“How dare you kill my men…”

must……

They have to pay a price.

He roared internally.

Then, holding Xia He in one hand and his sword in the other, he walked straight towards Koizumi Village.

……

at the same time.

“Cough…cough cough cough…”

Kedemo took the cigarette from Pat, lit it and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Cradona, who was standing next to him, didn’t say much.

If it were any other time, she would definitely nag me.

But now it’s different.

After experiencing a bloody massacre like the one just now, not only did everyone suffer physical injuries, but everyone’s hearts were also affected to varying degrees.

If she tried to stop her husband from smoking at this moment, it would seem a little immature.

“Hiss~~Hoo!” Pat blew out a smoke ring, then glanced down at his left hand which was about to lose sensation, “Damn, the situation doesn’t look good, is my hand going to be disabled? Hahahaha.”

He had just successfully ambushed two pirates in succession, and with the help of the beast, he stabbed the other party severely with one blow.

However, the two guys, when they were on the verge of death, fought back desperately and gave Pat a fatal blow.

If he hadn’t been wearing the mahogany armor made by Xia He, and hadn’t blocked the attack with his arm, he would probably have become one of the corpses like those inner pirates.

“How many of us…were killed?” asked Faith.

“There are about twenty people…” When Kedemo said this, his expression was full of regret.

The adult men in Koizumi Village, including him and Pat and others who joined later, totaled only about sixty.

This time it’s almost one third less…

It was absolutely extremely tragic.

“But now is not the time to be immersed in sadness…” Kedemo took a deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, he continued: “Wife, go and notify the villagers to ‘sort out’ the bodies of the brothers, so that it will be easier to bury them later…”

“What about you?” asked Cladona.

“Me? Of course I went up the mountain to help Xia He.”

He grinned, trying his best to force a smile, hoping that his wife would ignore his already pale face.

“After all, the opponent is a pirate with a bounty of 35 million berries. If we just sit back and watch a child face such a strong opponent alone, we would be a coward.”

“Oh, I just don’t believe it. With so many of us, how can we be defeated by just one pirate?”

“Yeah, we’ve already killed more than 20 of them, are we still afraid of him?”

The others followed suit, as if the wounds on their bodies did not exist at all.

Of course, this is also thanks to the victory just now.

If it had happened a year ago, let alone the death of more than a dozen people, even if all the villagers in the village were buried here, there would probably be no way to kill those pirates.

“It’s Xia He… No, it’s Dr. Minian and her family. Without them, there wouldn’t be anything like what we have today in Xiaoquan Village.”

“Which of the things you wear, eat, and use at home is not due to the wisdom of Dr. Minian?”

“How long has it been since we lived a life as abundant as this year?”

“So, today, even if it costs me my life, I will keep that damn pirate here forever!”

“Not only to save the child, but also for the villagers in our village…”

“It’s also for the future of the entire Roccadilli Island!”

Kedemo raised the long blade in his hand and spoke to the villagers present.

My blood suddenly boils at this moment.

Many people shouted loudly, then picked up their weapons and stood behind Kedemo.

However, just when everyone was preparing to go up the mountain to help Xia He…

“What do you think that is?”

Suddenly, Pat pointed to the gravel path at the end of the village.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

At a glance, they saw Diamanti walking towards them.

“Xia He?”

Seeing Xia He, who was covered in blood and being held in Diamante’s hands, Pat, Casilli and others also picked up their knives and iron axes, as if they were ready to fight Diamante to the death.

The next second, Diamanti stopped and looked at Kedemo and others with a smile.

“Hey, are you all ready to die?” he asked.

“It’s still unclear who will live and who will die!” Kedemo held the knife across his body.

“Hurry…run!”

Xia He opened his mouth with great difficulty and said something.

The words fell.

Diamanti raised the knife suddenly and swung it forward.
