Jaya Island——
A small boat approached the port of mock town and slowly moored under the curious gaze of many pirates. It is a beautiful place with picturesque mountains, clear water and a mild climate - like a resort. However, the port here is unusual. Large ships moored on both sides are pirate ships with menacing prows and waving pirate flags.
"Jaya Island, the town of Pirates, has finally arrived!" Sonic, who was in the boat, threw down the oar and shouted with delight, then grabbed the box on the stern and jumped onto the shore.
He was wearing a dirty white prison uniform with black stripes, brown boots, and a Marine uniform with the word "justice" written on it. However, the word "justice" on the back was crossed out with a large black cross. Such strange clothing aroused the curiosity of the pirates on the dock. Where was this escapee from? Or was he a thief who stole the Marine uniform?
The pirates looked at the box in Sonic's hands, their faces clearly expressing greed. Many were ready to act, nervously stroking the weapons in their hands. Mock town, formed and grown in the era of great pirates, is populated mainly by pirates or desperate "adventurers". Therefore, robbery and plunder are commonplace for them.
This young guy, who looked younger than twenty years old, clearly did not seem dangerous. Perhaps he was just a foolish youth, inspired by the legends of One Piece and dreams of wealth.
"It looks like a resort town, it looks good!" On the wooden embankment, Sonic held a large box and looked at the buildings in front of him with curiosity. He ignored the angry looks around him and nodded with satisfaction. "I think this place is great for rest, recovery, and so on..."
*Bang!*
Before he could finish, a man flew out of a nearby tavern and fell to the ground with a crash. Sonic looked down and saw a man with a broken and bloody face. The man reached out to Sonic with a trembling hand, pleadingly whispering:
- Help... help me... they want to kill...
- Mind your own business, kid! - Four pirates ran out of the tavern. The leader of the group, a pirate with yellow hair, with a menacing face, roughly pulled the man up.
After that, they began to beat the unfortunate man on the ground until he stopped moving.
- Ugh! Damned liar, dared to cheat in front of me! - The yellow-haired pirate spat on the ground in annoyance and cursed sharply.
However, when the pirate was about to return to the tavern, Sonic suddenly reached out, grabbed him by the collar and asked loudly:
- do you know where the clothing store is?
- Mmm... what? - The pirate and his companions were confused. They did not immediately understand how to react: to answer or to get angry?
"Useless guy, forget it if you don't know." Sonic pouted, expressing disappointment at the dull look on the pirate's face, and pushed him away, continuing to walk forward.
The town, inhabited by pirates, looked the part. Everyone who walked the streets had menacing faces, carried weapons and were clearly not respectable citizens. Fights and other disorder were encountered at every step.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop, you bastard!" The yellow-haired pirate finally came to his senses and angrily stopped Sonic.
"What is it?" Sonic stopped and turned around, puzzled.
- You're too arrogant, boy! - The yellow-haired pirate approached with an angry face, took a flintlock pistol from his bosom and pointed it at the head of the "impudent youth". - Do you know who I am? I have a reward of 1.8 million beli! How dare you push me!
His companions immediately surrounded Sonic, drawing daggers and short swords.
- Look, Morani is picking on the newbies again!
– This time I can confirm – this guy started it himself!
- Ha-ha-ha, Morani, don't you dare take advantage of the situation again!
The pirates around were whispering and laughing.
But the next second, the young man, who looked completely harmless, moved with incredible speed. He grabbed Morani by the head and pressed his face into the ground.
*Boom!*
There was a loud bang. The surrounding pirates froze in shock, watching as the ground cracked and rocks flew apart. Morani was powerless, his head pressed into the ground.
"Since you've drawn your weapon, that's a signal to declare war!" Sonic slowly stood up and said with a grin, "You're still half unconscious, so don't just point a gun at people!"
- You, you dared to attack our people, the Claw Pirates?! - One of Morani's companions stared at Sonic in amazement, not believing his eyes.
- Claw Pirates? Never heard of it! - Sonic shrugged and said indifferently: - But since you also took up arms, let's all die together!
- Kamaitachi!
As soon as he uttered these words, an invisible sickle-shaped wind rushed forward.
Before the three pirates could react, blood sprayed from their bodies. Deep gashes appeared on their chests, revealing their bones. Their eyes rolled back in their heads, and they fell lifelessly to the ground.
- What happened?
- Invisible knife?
- Maybe it seemed to me? Is this some kind of invisible blade?
The spectators began to buzz as they watched the young man simply raise his hand, and the three Claw Pirates members next to him seemed to be struck by invisible blades.
Some with keen eyesight noticed how the air currents around them changed, and guesses began to form in their heads.
In any case, this strange scene made those present feel afraid, and all their bad thoughts towards this guy disappeared.
However, some gloated and discussed quietly:
- After he incurred the wrath of the Claw Pirates, this guy is finished!
- Yes, [Claw] Dilyugg is a real maniac who will not tolerate the insult of his own.
- This guy seems to have strength, but he's definitely no match for the Claw Pirates!
- [Claw] Dilyugg is a wanted criminal with a bounty of 50 million beli. Is this guy worth comparing to him?
Sonic, listening to this noise, curled his lips boredly, picked up the large box that was thrown on the ground, and continued walking along the wooden street into the depths of the city.
The Valley of Magic is a town where many pirates gather, similar to Logue Town in East Blue, the hometown of the Pirate King Roger. Before it was taken over by Smoker, the smoke marine, it was also a town where pirate life was rife.
However, the pirates with real power and dreams did not linger here. They were already boldly moving forward, to the second half of the Grand line. At most, they passed by. Therefore, Sonic did not take this gang of pirates from the Magic Valley seriously.
