Chapter 330 The Responsibility of a Peace Officer (Two in One)

"Boss Holo!"

In front of the village chief's house, a young man with an upright face whose overall beauty was ruined by a sharp chin saw Ji Xing and shouted hello.

His name is Abe, and he is one of the seven guards under Ji Xing's command. He was originally a little hooligan who idled around all day and did nothing good. After being beaten several times by Ji Xing, he was convinced and gradually embarked on the right path.

Now he is also the most obedient and most admired guard under Ji Xing's command, commonly known as - the dog-legger.

"Abe, what's going on now?"

"Well, the girl who was swept over by the waves hasn't woken up yet." Abe diligently opened the door for Ji Xing.

"Aunt Kirsty is taking care of her... Village chief, I, Boss Holo, am here!"

The village chief of Xiaochao Village is 50 years old this year. He is a man only 1.5 meters tall. He holds a cigarette bag in his hand most of the time. He is quite strong.

"Village chief." Ji Xing greeted, and he nodded to Ji Xing: "Here we come, Holo."

Soon, Ji Xing saw the girl who was swept ashore by the sea. He must be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair with a touch of red, and a cute face with a touch of paleness soaked in seawater, and he looks like I feel pity for him.

Her clothes had been changed by Aunt Kirsty, and she was now covered with a thick quilt.

The village chief gently lifted the quilt, and Ji Xing immediately knew why he was called here, while Abe exclaimed in surprise: "Chains?!"

I saw a thick chain tightly tied to the girl's fair and delicate feet and ankles. That is usually something used to restrain criminals!

The village chief took a sip from his pipe and said, "That boy Moss was smart. When he found the chain, he wrapped the child in his coat, so that few people saw him. But now... I have some idea how to arrange this child. Undecided, Holo.”

Ji Xing understood the village chief's concerns. The chains on her feet meant that her being washed ashore was not a simple shipwreck or pirate attack.

"How else can we arrange it?" Aunt Kirsty, who was wiping the girl's forehead with a hot towel, turned around dissatisfied: "When you come to Xiaochao Village, you are from Xiaochao Village. Hurry up and find someone to untie the chains. This child's ankles are broken. It’s almost swollen from the pressure!”

The village chief shook his head helplessly. He naturally felt that such a little girl could not be a pirate and felt that she was quite pitiful. However, as the village chief, he had to consider the safety of the entire village.

Ji Xing glanced at the girl's slightly taut little feet and saw the little toes that had been soaked in seawater spread out in an unnatural arc. He smiled and said, "Let's ask her where she came from first. "Little sister, this is Xiaochao Village on Tide Island. I am the village's police chief, Holo. I'm not a bad person. Don't pretend to be unconscious."

Pretending to be comatose? Several people looked over unexpectedly and found that the girl's eyelashes trembled, opened her eyes, and said nervously: "I... just woke up."

Aunt Kirsty didn't care and said with a smile: "Just wake up. Come on, have a bowl of hot water."

She helped the girl sit up and fed her a bowl of warm water. The girl's face gained a bit of color, and she turned her eyes to look at a few people.

Except for Abe, they all seem like good people.

Especially the tall Ji Xing's upright look gives people a sense of security, just like a father.

After being silent for a while, she said: "My name is Natalia, Natalia Nakpushit, the daughter of the King of the Kingdom of Sitskeal."

A princess again? Ji Xing raised his eyebrows, are all the princesses in this world so miserable?

"The king's daughter...princess?!"

"The Kingdom of Sitskeal?" The village chief was more knowledgeable: "Not far from Tidal Island, is it the country on Krayjana Island that has been experiencing civil war for many years?"

"Yes." Natalia's eyes were slightly red: "As long as I can remember, the kingdom has been at war. Years of war have made the people of the kingdom miserable and the population continues to decrease. However, the evil rebel army refused to stop. Finally, in ten A few days ago, they captured the royal capital and killed...killed my father."

"Oh God... don't cry, child." Aunt Kirsty wiped her cheek gently: "So you were caught by the rebels? They..."

"They wanted to give me to the auction house in the Shampoo Islands and sell me as a slave." Natalia continued: "It was Uncle Gianluca who desperately rescued me. When we escaped at sea, our boat Turn over, wake up again, I am here, and I don’t know about Uncle Gianluca..."

Population auction house in the Chambord Islands? Ji Xing heard a familiar name, behind him was Doflamingo's slave auction place in the Shichibukai!

As for Gianluca, he was probably in a bad situation. It was a rare and lucky thing to capsize his boat in the vast sea and be washed ashore.

Several people knew it by heart, and Aunt Kersty yelled: "These bastards! Village chief, go find the locksmith and open the little princess's chain. Little princess, you will live in our Xiaochao Village during this period. If you don’t have any other place to go, just treat this place as your home!”

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette quietly and looked at Ji Xing without moving.

"I have to discuss this matter with the mayor." He said, "Child, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Since the rebels captured the royal capital and killed the king, they are now the actual members of the Kingdom of Sitskear. The ruler…”

"No." Natalia shook her head and said with tears: "The population of the kingdom has been wiped out, and the Kingdom of Sitskeal... no longer exists. The evil rebel army looted all the property of the kingdom and killed If you want to kill my brother... and sell me, maybe he will become a pirate."

"The Kingdom of Sitskeal... didn't it have a population of hundreds of thousands before? Was it completely destroyed?" The village chief looked shocked: "War..."

But in this way, Natalia will not be involved in bigger troubles. It's just that a group of pirates want to capture and sell her. Maybe they can contact the Navy G19 Base?

He exchanged glances with Ji Xing again, and suddenly he heard someone shouting outside: "No! Village chief! A ship just arrived at the port, and dozens of men with knives got off the ship! Asked if we had seen a girl with a streak of red in her hair!”

Natalia instantly shrank back into the quilt and looked at the people in front of her with a pale face: "Yes, it's the rebels, they are chasing me! I..."

Being able to be washed up on the island by the waves, it was obvious that the place where they capsized was not far from the island. If the rebels had been falling far away, it would not be surprising to guess that Natalia might be on the tidal island.

"Dozens of people?" Abe swallowed: "Boss Holo, what should I do? It seems it's too late to notify the navy!"

"The Sheriff of Xiaochao Village naturally wants to protect the safety of the village." Ji Xing had already walked out, smoothly pulled out the knife from his waist, and held it in a bow.

"Holo!" The village chief was shocked: "There are too many of them, you..."

Da la——

A sound of iron chains colliding interrupted the village chief's words, causing him to turn his head, and he saw that the iron ring of the chain on Natalia's ankle suddenly broke in half and fell off!

"This..." He looked at Kirsty blankly, and Natalia's little face was also stunned.

Cut off by that... blow just now?

I didn't see it clearly, and isn't this an iron lock?

Abe was stunned for two seconds, then raised his legs and chased outside, snapping his tongue: "Cool~~~~~Boss Holo, how did you do that?! I've never seen you use a knife before!"

"Then next time you cause trouble again, I will chop you with a knife." Ji Xing replied casually, looking towards the coast, capturing his senses through sight, sound and color. He stepped hard with his feet and his figure disappeared instantly.

On the other side, more than 40 rebel soldiers were also rushing towards the village chief's home.

There are many people who know about Natalia who was washed ashore by the waves. We cannot expect everyone to keep her a secret, especially in the face of some evil spirits.

In more than ten years of war, both the royal army and the rebel army were almost wiped out. None of the surviving rebel armies had 180 lives on their bodies, and they were much more ferocious than ordinary pirates.

The villagers who saw them turned pale and stepped aside. The leader of the rebel army, who was more than two meters tall and strong, walked in the center of the road as if inspecting his own territory.

The deputy leader next to him whispered: "Boss, you are lucky to have found our little princess so easily. It seems that we don't need to sack the village to make up for our losses?"

"Why not?" the leader hummed: "It's easy to get property, why not..."

puff--

"want?"

A slight noise interrupted his words. The leader of the rebel army touched his neck in confusion. His hand was bright red when he raised his hand, and his eyes turned blood red.

"Ho...ho..."

After two hard gasps, he fell down and died!

"Boss?!"

"Ah——" The screams of the rebels echoed with the panic of the villagers. Ji Xing's steady and powerful voice suppressed everything: "Everyone in Xiaochao Village, this is Sheriff Holo! Don't panic, everyone, go home. Stay here, I will deal with all the bad guys who invaded the village!"

"Asshole! Did you do this?!" The rebels looked at Ji Xing in front of the road.

"Damn it! Kill him!"

Ji Xing sheathed his sword and raised his fist to meet the attack.

Boom, boom, boom——

"ah--"

People are flying with swords!

These battle-hardened rebels are at most the level of pirates with a million-dollar bounty. To Ji Xing, they are no different from ordinary people. He punches a child, and soon there are only unconscious and groaning ones left in front of him. of.

The deputy leader of the rebels struggled hard: "Damn it...you, who are you?!"

"Didn't I tell you? I am Holo, the Sheriff of Xiaochao Village." Ji Xing said.

"What the hell is a Sheriff...ah! It's broken! It's broken!"

"It's my turn to ask you now." Ji Xing said.

For him, the incident of the rebel army capturing the princess was not something worth worrying about. He could not just watch the little girl who was less than 16 years old being captured and sold into slavery. This satisfied what he could see. The conditions are within their reach, not to mention that these guys in front of them want to loot Xiaochao Village, so it is necessary to reveal some strength.

The trouble is how to deal with the follow-up.

Many things can affect the whole body.

As expected, the deputy leader of the rebel army was not a tough guy. Under interrogation with a knife on his neck, he quickly revealed what Ji Xing wanted to know.

Sitskear was indeed defeated, and the victorious rebel army only had about a hundred people left. There was no point in occupying an empty country. They just wanted to take the wealth of the kingdom and choose a good place.

Choose the nobles who attach themselves to the Chambord Islands!

The little princess is one of their stepping stones because of her appearance and identity. There are not many slaves in the population auction house who have the identity of a true princess, and they can be sold for a price close to that of a devil fruit!

Naturally, we should try our best to catch them back.

"Nobles of Chambord...slave auction..."

When Ji Xing was interrogating the deputy leader of the rebels, he heard that there was no movement here. Many villagers cautiously poked their heads out of the house and looked at the figure standing in the center in shock.

We know that this new sheriff can fight, but is he so good at it? This is simply... better than many navy officers, right?

Abei's loud voice rang again: "So good~ Boss Holo! Teach me how to fight!"

Ji Xing waved his hand: "Let's talk about it later. Let's deal with this first, tie up the people with ropes!"

After settling these rebels, Ji Xing returned to the village chief, who was also surprised: "Ho Luo, when did you become so good?"

Ji Xing smiled and said: "As the sheriff of the village, it is my responsibility to protect the safety of the village. I can't always rely on the navy. When everyone is not looking, I have been working hard to train, and now I have finally made some achievements."

The village chief only believes half of it. There are many people who work hard to train, but who can fight as well as you?

He thanked, "Luckily, you are here. You have captured these rebels, and the little princess and Xiaochao Village are safe..."

"It's not over yet, village chief." Ji Xing said, "There are still 76 rebels in Xitskaar, including the third-ranked rebel. Because they are on guard against each other, more than half of the looted property is on this ship, and the two parties talked before landing on the island and knew about our place.

This is the harvest of more than ten years of war. If they don't contact for a long time, they will definitely make some moves and come to investigate. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so I plan to take the initiative to attack."

"Master, take the initiative to attack?"

Ji Xing smiled: "As the sheriff of Xiaochao Village, it is also my job to take the initiative to go out and eliminate some safety hazards for Xiaochao Village."

Village chief: "......?"

A few hours later.

The captured rebels sailed back under the coercion of Ji Xing, and there were two new passengers on the ship, Ji Xing and Abei.

Abe stood on the deck, his face slightly pale: "Boss, is it really okay?"

"If you are afraid, don't follow me. I still have to take care of you." Ji Xing smiled.

"No, no, don't be afraid! Boss Holo, you are so powerful, I am not afraid!" Abe said loudly.

"Very good, very energetic."

There is nothing to worry about. The rebels have fought for more than ten years. It is time to enjoy the fruits of victory. There is no determination to give up.

Moreover, the rebels are still counting on the remaining more than seventy brothers to create a miracle for them. The only trouble is the unpredictable weather of the Grand Route. Under the supervision of Ji Xing, they arrived at their destination two days later.

The Kingdom of Sitkaal, the old site.

The result made the rebels desperate. More than seventy brothers fell to the ground faster than their more than forty. The third leader of the rebels was stupid when he was stepped on by Ji Xing for interrogation. Didn't you go to capture the little princess? What did you bring back?

Abei retched for a long time in the bloody smell, and looked at Ji Xing with super respect: "Boss! This time it's completely solved!"

"No." Ji Xing said: "Didn't you hear what he said? The slave-hunting team will come to pick them up in two days. By then, nothing will be received, and the promised property will be gone. Do you think they will investigate?"

Abei was stunned. What does it mean?

"For the safety of Xiaochao Village, all unstable factors must be eliminated." Ji Xing patted his shoulder: "This is the responsibility of the sheriff."

"...Ah?"

Two days later, Abei huddled in the distance, watching Ji Xing chop down the soldiers on the slave-hunting ship with two knives and put the knife on the captain's neck.

The captain cursed at first, his words were full of threats, and he was slapped a few times before he was honest and asked some questions by Ji Xing.

Abei approached carefully: "Boss? Can we go home now?"

Ji Xing sighed: "Not yet. This is just a slave-hunting team. There is a big ship waiting for goods at the port of Pereira Island. They know the target of this ship and there is a possibility of being caught."

"Then, then Boss, we..."

Abei had expected it.

Ji Xing nodded: "For the safety of Xiaochao Village, we have to destroy the slave ship first. This is my responsibility as a sheriff."

...

Three days later, the port of Pereira Island.

The luxurious ship was full of bloody smell. Ji Xing, who had disguised himself, unlocked the cages one by one, released the slaves with tears on their faces and disbelief, and said: "You are free."

"Wow——"

In a noisy sound, the men, women, young and old, and people of all races who were covered in bruises were excited.

Some people burst into tears instantly, and some people knelt on their knees: "Benefactor! Please let me follow you..."

"Get lost!" Ji Xing waved his hand and said: "I just came to steal some money and save a few people. You can go wherever you want. It's none of my business if you get caught again. It doesn't matter if you betray me. Anyway, we will never see each other again after today!"

He jumped into the water with the big bag in his hand, and disappeared from the sight of those who almost became slaves after a few waves.

Do good deeds without leaving your name.

After swimming a few kilometers, he flipped over and got on a small boat, and scared Abei who was waiting on it and almost fell into the water.

"Boss, let's..."

"Let's go home, Xiaochao Village. You row to the west port, and we'll take the passenger boat back."

"Can we go home now?"

"Yes." Ji Xing said, "The person in charge of the slave ship reported a lot of things, and the slave auction house couldn't figure out why they were attacked. The little princess's matter has been completely resolved, and Xiaochao Village is safe. As a sheriff, I have fulfilled my duties and can naturally go back."

Abei secretly glanced at the wet package in Ji Xing's hand, "Boss, I don't study well, don't lie to me, are we really not here to rob?" The Sheriff of Xiaochao Village has so many responsibilities? There are less than 10,000 people in our village. How many islands can the Sheriff take care of? !

Ji Xing leaned lightly on the package and asked Abe to row the boat. He explained casually: "Think about it, if we don't go to the Kingdom of Xitskeal, what will the remaining rebels do? Will they take the fishing boat with them?" The slave team went to Xiaochao Village to find someone? "

"……should be?"

"Then I still have to kill them. I can't hand over the little princess, right?" Ji Xing said: "Then the big slave ship here will know about Xiaochao Village and report it to the superiors, and then more people will come. right?"

Abe blinked, it seemed to make sense?

"So it's better to take the initiative, otherwise our Xiaochao Village may face endless troubles one after another." Ji Xing said with a smile: "It's not easy to be a peace officer. In this world, if you want to protect a village or save an individual, It’s hard!”

In fact, he really wasn't cheating, it was indeed the truth. When Ji Xing protected the little princess and killed the rebel leader, trouble would ensue.

When it comes to the issue of slave auctions, after Ji Xing kills the slave merchants, the cadres of the Don Quixote family may come to visit again. Unless Ji Xing leaves, otherwise they will fight the young ones and the old ones, and they may have to fight many in the end. Flamenco.

Doflamingo is not a trouble, but killing Doflamingo is a big trouble for Ji Xing now, so... just save his life first!

…

New world, Dressrosa.

The blond man wearing a pink coat, cropped trousers, and sunglasses listened to the voice from the phone with a blank expression, and was not at all happy that he had a chance to escape with his life.

After a long time, he laughed: "It seems that I took over the business of the slave auction house, which made some guys dissatisfied.

Freed all the slaves and took away a devil fruit and a famous sword? Two final treasures... It seems that the next auction will be postponed a little longer. Check those guys for me. "

A few days later, Doflamingo frowned in confusion: "Huh? Neither?"

what happened? No clues?

Who else have I offended?

…

at the same time.

Kingdom of Sitskeal, former site.

Among the ruins, a man was surrounded by a group of baboons holding knives.

"Oh? The kingdom has died, humans have withered, and now the masters of this ruined kingdom have become you baboons who can use human weapons? Interesting."

Eagle-like eyes glanced around, and the baboons all trembled and receded in fear!

The man wearing a black top hat and carrying a cross-shaped black knife continued to walk deeper into the kingdom.

Ready-made buildings and empty cities seem to be suitable for settling down and practicing swordsmanship? Take another look.

…

Tidal island, harbor.

Ji Xing got off the boat with his package on his back, looking at the peaceful Xiaochao Village and stretching.

"It's been half a month, and I'm finally back."

"This peace...is hard-won."

Being a peace officer is really hard work.
