Chapter:121 Serlindi

  Amidst the cmor, the most vocal individuals suddenly felt a tightening sensation.

  Transparent chains had wrapped around them, the other end connected to the depths of the cave.

  Suddenly, the chains contracted, dragging them into the cave's depths.

  After a series of teeth-grinding friction and squeezing sounds, the cave's depths fell silent.

  Everyone became as quiet as frightened quails, pushing back in fear.

  "Damn it, that lord is angry..."

  "Stop arguing, be quiet, be quiet!"

  Daz Bones, standing at the back of the crowd, felt a chill down his spine.

  [What kind of ability is this?!]

  [When did those chains appear?! I didn't notice a thing.]

  "Sha, sha..."

  Footsteps echoed from the cave's depths, and a slender man in a white robe and veil slowly emerged.

  Everyone looked at him with awe.

  The man removed his veil, revealing a smiling, handsome face, though the smile cked any warmth.

  Seeing that face, many people were surprised, and Daz's eyes widened.

  [It's him!!!]

  The man was pleased with the crowd's reaction and grinned.

  As he approached, he suddenly stepped into the air, ascending as if on stairs, until everyone had to look up at him.

  "Greetings, sand bandits. It seems many of you recognize me!"

  The people in the cave were from various sand bandit gangs.

  They had been hiding in the desert, pying hide-and-seek with the Royal Guard, living a reckless life.

  But a few days ago, this man suddenly appeared, attacking a dozen sand bandit hideouts alone, overwhelming them and bringing them here.

  The sand bandits knew he wouldn't go to such lengths just to kill them, so they became bolder.

  Some who had grudges against each other even hurled insults, only to be dealt with...

  Many sand bandits chuckled, "Lord Serlindi, I didn't expect it to be you."

  "Yeah, how would a great pirate like you appear in Abasta?"

  Daz's face was grim. He recognized this guy.

  Serlindi, a pirate from the West Blue who preferred to act alone.

  He had only been in the Grand Line for two years, but his bounty had soared to 330 million Berries.

  Since he was always alone, the Marines had little information on him, only knowing he was a Devil Fruit user with unknown abilities.

  Daz fell silent...

  He had thought it was a simple assassination mission, but the target was him?!

  Daz wasn't sure who was the hunter and who was the prey...

  This kind of mission... might as well give up!

  At this moment, a sand bandit shouted.

  "Lord Serlindi, why did you gather us all here?!"

  Serlindi ughed.

  "Fools, for money and subordinates, of course!!"

  The sand bandits were confused. Wasn't he always a lone wolf?!

  "Dee ha ha ha, Yuba now gathers countless nobles, merchants, and sve traders, and immense wealth! Why do you turn a blind eye, watching the fat sheep, only to cower in your nests?!"

  "Lord Serlindi, the Abasta Royal Guard's elites are all in Yuba. With our strength, going there is suicide..."

  "Yeah."

  "Yeah..."

  Many sand bandits echoed...

  "Dee ha ha ha... that's not a problem! I'm tired of adventuring alone and want to choose excellent subordinates!"

  "Now, go plunder, go kill!! I'll hold off the Royal Guard. The 50 who kill the most will become my subordinates, joining me to conquer the Grand Line!!!"

  "Ooh ooh ooh!!"

  Most of the sand bandits raised their weapons, roaring wildly.

  Some were more cautious, as this was too strange.

  "Those who want to follow me, come outside. Those who don't want to go, just don't leak information. Dee ha ha ha, I only want loyal subordinates!!"

  With that, he walked out first, and many sand bandits followed, ughing wildly.

  Several hundred others remained in the cave, silent, including Daz.

  After Serlindi's followers left the cave, Serlindi stood at the entrance.

  "No one else coming out?!"

  Seeing no movement, he shook his head.

  "That's a shame..."

  Suddenly, his expression turned ruthless, and with a burst of force, he colpsed the cave entrance.

  Countless rocks fell, blocking the entrance, and the sand in the desert flowed down, filling the gaps between the rocks.

  The people inside the cave were shocked, but it was too te. They were sealed inside.

  Serlindi wasn't satisfied. He squatted down and touched the ground.

  The sand bandits were surprised to find that the sand, which had been flowing with the wind, quickly solidified into a stone sb, and the rubble and sand at the cave entrance merged into giant rocks.

  The entire cave quickly turned into a sealed stone coffin.

  All the sand bandits were dumbfounded.

  Serlindi said to them, "Don't worry, I'm very gentle to those who follow me. Dee ha ha ha ha."

  "However..." His face turned gloomy: "For those who betray me, I will be 100 times more cruel than I am to them!"

  "Now, let's go, destination Yuba City!"

  "Oh, oh, oh!"

  Although many people were worried, there were always ambitious and simple-minded guys who saw this as an opportunity to change their fate.

  Sailing with such a powerful pirate would change their lives, right?!

  Inside the cave.

  The remaining hundreds of sand bandits cried and wailed, desperately smashing the rocks with their weapons.

  Initially, when Serlindi blocked the cave entrance with rubble, they looked terrified, but they weren't really panicking, and some even found it funny.

  With so many of them, there was no rock they couldn't move.

  Even if it was difficult to move, there were many among them who could smash rocks with their bare fists.

  But as Serlindi activated his ability, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

  The sand and rocks that had been piled together suddenly became a solid mass, and it was extremely hard. Not to mention using their fists, even using steel swords could only leave shallow marks.

  Judging by the thickness, it had to be several meters thick, and they couldn't dig through it even if they hacked until they died.

  At first, they tried their best to find ways to smash the rocks.

  Gradually, fear and despair enveloped their hearts, and finally, they went crazy!

  When a sand bandit took advantage of an opportunity and cut off his enemy's head with a knife, he completely unleashed the curtain of sughter.

  Everyone in the cave, whether friends, enemies, or strangers, picked up their weapons and desperately attacked those around them.

  For a time, the entire cave was like a scene from hell.

  But there was one exception.

  It was Daz, who hid in the shadows, his eyes showing no sign of panic.

  Suddenly, a sand bandit spotted him, his eyes bloodshot, and he raised his knife to ssh at his head.

  Daz didn't dodge or evade, just stared at him quietly.

  The steel knife struck his head, creating a string of sparks, but leaving no marks.

  Before the sand bandit could react, Daz's hand pierced his heart.

  The killing continued, and soon only a few people were left in the cave, their bodies covered in blood and flesh, standing in the pile of corpses, gring at each other.

  Daz: "..."

  [It's time to get out...]

  ...

  In the desert, a rge area had turned into solid rock.

  Suddenly, a fsh of bde light cut through the rock, revealing a dark passage.

  Daz, covered in blood, slowly walked out.

  As soon as he came out, his eyes widened, and his pupils shrank.

  "It's you?!"

  Serlindi stood calmly at the cave entrance, and the sand bandits were nowhere to be seen.

  "How are you here?! Where are those guys?!"

  "Dee ha ha ha ha, I originally just wanted to gain status and money, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest!"

  Daz took a defensive stance: "What do you mean?!"

  Facing this powerful and strange opponent, he didn't dare to rex.
