With an order from Kronos, the faces of the bandits in the tavern all turned to one side.
Before they could react, Wujou Satoru, Jiguo Yuanyi, Konan, and Tiandao Payne shot at the same time.
They killed them instantly.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Clang!!"
"Pfft!!"
In the blink of an eye, several bandits fell to the ground, blood pouring from their bodies.
"Plop! Plop..."
The remaining bandits finally reacted when they saw their companions fall.
Their pale faces stared in horror at the corpses of their fallen comrades. One of them trembled, speaking with a voice full of fear.
"He... they're not going to let us go!!"
"Damn! Are they trying to kill us all?!"
"No! No! We aren't their match at all!"
"Run! Get out of here!!"
"If we stay any longer, we'll all die!!"
As they spoke, the bandits ignored everything else and turned to flee the tavern.
At this moment, they were filled with despair in the face of Wujou and the others' overwhelming strength.
Fight? A battle we can't win, a battle that's a dead end!
Only escape was their option.
Escape was the only way to survive.
Outside the tavern, Kronos watched indifferently as the bandits swarmed out.
He didn't attempt to stop them, nor did he need to.
Because he knew there was no need to do so.
In the face of Wujou Satoru, Jiguo Yuanyi, Konan, and Tiandao Payne, even if the bandits were numerous, none of them would be able to escape today.
"Boom!!"
As the bandits ran out of the tavern, Tiandao Payne and the others followed closely behind and killed them from the back.
"Pfft!"
With the sound of flesh being torn apart, a small bandit leader didn't even have time to react.
A black rod pierced his chest!
Moments later, the little bandit leader fell heavily to the ground.
"Thump!"
This time, he didn't struggle.
He knew he was done for.
He also surrendered.
Dark red blood poured from his body, staining the ground red.
The little leader just lay there, watching as his companions were ruthlessly slaughtered like mustard.
"It hurts... How could it end like this?"
Blood kept pouring from the little leader's mouth as he whispered in a hoarse voice.
He gazed at Kronos in the distance, who had sealed his fate.
At that moment, he clearly felt the passing of his life.
Images of memories flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly!
He remembered!
He remembered why that black long trench coat looked so familiar.
Why did he feel like he had seen them before?
It wasn't an illusion!
He had really seen them before, in the newspaper some time ago!
"Yes... it's you!"
"It's you?!"
The little boss stared at Kronos, his voice hoarse.
His words caught Kronos' attention.
Kronos' indifferent gaze met his.
The little boss cursed inwardly!
Why didn't he recognize them sooner?
Why did he only now remember who they were?
How could he have encountered them?!
Was he meeting the Kamui Pirates?!
These were the ones with a bounty over 10 million! They had reached the 100 million mark!
Crossing them was like courting death!
Thinking about it, the little leader, filled with resentment and unwillingness, raised his body and hoarsely shouted at Kronos.
"Kronos!!!"
However, just as he shouted those words, a black rod shot up and pierced through his head, nailing him to the ground.
"Pfft!!"
"Boom!!!"
At the same time, the figure of Tiandao Payne appeared beside the little leader.
With that, all the bandits were eliminated, leaving no survivors.
Kronos glanced at the corpse of the little boss, then at Shamando in the tavern.
His earlier interest in drinking was completely ruined by these bandits.
Now, Kronos had no desire to continue drinking.
"I'm going back to the ship first."
"It's a rare opportunity to land on an island, so let's go shopping!"
With that, Kronos turned and walked toward the ship.
Meanwhile, in the tavern, though the battle had ended, Shamando still couldn't calm down.
"Dead... dead?!"
"The bandits... just like that, they've all been dealt with?!"
"It was all so easy for the five of them?!"
"It wasn't even half a minute?!"
Looking at the bandits' corpses scattered across the floor and at Kronos, who was walking away, Shamando's face was filled with disbelief and shock.
