Section 5: Shen Bao extorted another 200,000 Beli!
Shinbo's idea of a safe haven was absolutely correct, but he severely underestimated the determination of a cute loli who had lost her beloved pet.
His otaku plan hadn't even been carried out for three days before he was awkwardly blocked by the victim at...the men's restroom door.
The ship that Shén Bǎo was on was somewhat simple, even the best captain's cabin didn't have an independent toilet, so our Pig Foot Shén Bǎo could only solve urgent problems in the public restroom.
So the problem came. Shén Bǎo was originally a tiger shark man, with a body twice that of an adult male, extremely eye-catching. And little loli is also very smart, after searching for two days in vain, finally on the third day implemented the plan to drain the water from the bottom of the pot - blocking the men's toilet door.
This time, he was caught red-handed with the treasure.
"You big-headed fish man, return my octopus baby quickly!" The little loli puffed out her small mouth, her tender and delicate face making people want to take a bite.
"What octopus? Little sister, you must be mistaken." Shen Bao's face was calm as he directly played the rogue, refusing to admit that he had bullied a little girl even if it killed him.
"You!" Little Loli's eyes were red-rimmed, and she was almost in tears from being scolded by the weird uncle.
The guard beside him couldn't bear it anymore, this time he was determined to send the young lady to her father's side, who had been separated from her for many years. In the future, she would be his master, but now she was being bullied by outsiders. He had to intervene: "Sir, please return my family's young lady's beloved pet. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As he spoke, he drew out a shining long sword and casually made a beautiful sword move.
Shen Bao's eyes widened in amazement, he couldn't even wield a sword flower. He was essentially a house boy, where would he learn to wield a sword? Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the black obsidian greataxe earlier, a weapon that didn't emphasize technique for self-defense.
What's even more miserable is that he didn't bring the black axe with him this time. Come to think of it, who would carry a sharp weapon while going to the toilet? What if something unexpected happens and the sharp blade suddenly cuts off some part related to dignity, wouldn't that be a tragic and painful thing?
So now his only reliance is on his own body, which is even stronger than that of the fish people. However, facing a human male swordsman leader holding a sharp sword, and six other swordsmen waiting for an opportunity to strike, Shino suddenly feels that the strength comparison between the two sides is quite different, and a head-on confrontation is not very reliable.
So he ignored the tense swordsmen and pulled out the two firebirds that were inserted at his waist, then pointed the muzzle at the floor under the puzzled gaze of everyone.
Shen Bao knew that brute force wouldn't work, the two firearms in his hands were of the most ordinary kind, each capable of firing a single iron bullet. If he was lucky, he could eliminate two swordsmen at most. However, this didn't mean he couldn't resolve the trouble before him.
It is said that "necessity is the mother of invention", ordinary people can often burst out unimaginable potential in times of crisis.
Even rabbits bite when they're anxious, let alone fish people!
In such a situation, Shen Bao spoke up. As soon as he opened his mouth, the cows in the sky flew around: "My two fire guns are extremely powerful and can easily penetrate this rotten wooden deck. I'm sure you also know that under this deck is the cargo hold, storing a large amount of strong wine from a certain merchant. Now all I need to do is lightly press the trigger, and as long as the gunpowder sparks just a little... Hehehe..."
Everyone listened, whether it was the swordsman who had just been showing off or the onlookers watching the commotion, all turned pale! Shen Bao's words were extremely threatening, and he deliberately stopped short. But even someone with the poorest imagination could imagine the terrifying scene of a fire burning through the deck and igniting the five ship holds full of strong liquor.
The leader of the swordsmen, who had been so confident just a moment before, felt as if his head was going to explode. No one knew better than he did how potent those five kegs of wine were; he himself was in charge of this operation for the merchant guild. The responsibility for losing that wine would be too much for him to bear, even if he had 100 lives. Compared to that, catering to the young master's interests was a small price to pay.
"Hahahaha." The swordsman leader forced a dry laugh, sheathing his long sword and staring intently at Shen Bao, "Don't spout nonsense, if you do, the entire ship will instantly ignite and explode, and even you won't be able to escape."
Shen Bao shrugged indifferently, his tone extremely casual: "Anyway, I'm a fishman, so I can just jump into the sea and then start shooting. At most, it's just a bit of trouble for myself to swim to the island."
His words were so shameless that the leader of the swordsmen, who was usually calm and composed, was now trembling all over, his face pale with rage. He looked at Shen Bao with a terrified gaze: "Damn it, this is the worst luck in eight lifetimes! How did I run into such an arrogant, shameless, and despicable fish-man?!"
"Cough, cough! You're indeed formidable, our Federation Trade Union has taken note this time." The leader of the swordsmen was also afraid of this madman who didn't care about his own life. Originally not wanting to provoke him, but ultimately couldn't save face, and so threw out a harsh remark before leaving.
But he soon felt deep regret for his harsh words.
"What? You think you can just leave?!?" Shen Bao's expression was furious, the consequences were severe. "Is this how the Federation Trade treats people? Bullying an innocent fish-man like me and then thinking they can just pat their butt and leave?"
"What do you want to do?!" the swordsman leader shouted.
"How was it?" Shén Bǎo also shouted loudly, competing with the tone of voice. "What about my mental loss fee? What about my physical health loss fee due to long-term urinary retention? What about my unexpected medical treatment fee for my life? My..."
He went on to list five or six expense items, and every time he mentioned one, the sword leader's body shook slightly. By the end of it, the poor sword leader was already swaying unsteadily. The little loli beside him also widened her eyes: Clearly their side had the upper hand in reason, so why did they end up being extorted instead?
The little loli vaguely felt that living a life like the fisherman, who was so arrogant and unrestrained, was 100 times more carefree than being a businesswoman.
Shen Bao didn't know that he had unknowingly ruined a small flower's worldview. He unintentionally grasped the other party's weakness and afterwards extorted 200,000 Beli from them!
The rest of Shen Bao's journey was filled with ease. The incident spread like wildfire, and soon everyone on the ship knew that there was a madman on board who didn't care about his life. No one dared to provoke him, and no one dared to block his way in the toilet anymore. Unbeknownst to him, Shen Bao had inexplicably become the tyrant of the ship!
