Makino look at the scene in horror and the mayor gape in shock. Luffy on the ground had his eyes widen as he look at Shanks , who look calm, his hat overshadowed his eyes, preventing everyone to see his expression. Roux look carefree as he took a bite at his meat

Seeing one of them being killed wordlessly, the Bandits except Higuma suddenly felt panicked.

"N-Now you've done it!"

"These bastards fight dirty!"

When Shanks Crew heard that, one of the member snicker a laugh with a mocking smirk.

"Dirty?" He asked, seemingly not believing he heard that word as he smiled, finding the word funny.

Benn sneered and look at the Bandits like he's looking at unknowledgeable creatures. "Cut the crap. You think you're dealing with Saints or something?"

Shanks bend over slightly, holding a piece of his coat as he look at Pirates like a confident Pirate he is.

Shanks, "You're looking at Pirates!

"Shut up! You got nothing to do with this in the first place!" One of the Bandits said, which seemed to cause silence.

"Ne~ Got nothing to do with this, you say?" Klein said, his small face smiling darkly at the Bandits, causing a chill to ran down their spine.

Shanks suddenly turned serious, "Listen, Bandits. Whether I'm splattered with alcohol, or food, hell even if you spit on me, most of the time I'd just laugh and forget about it. But...!" With a stop, Shanks pulled down his hat a little, his eyes unseen. "No matter what the reason..." He continued as he look up glaring at the Bandits."... anyone who hurts my friends has to pay!"

When Luffy heard that, his eyes widen. "S-Shanks..." He called out quietly like a whisper.

Suddenly, Higuma laugh, his face looking so happy as he laugh like what Shanks has said was the biggest joke he heard his entire life.

Higuma, "Has to pay, huh?!" He asked Mockingly before pointing at Shanks and his crew before yelling at his men, "Lousy Pirates! Kill 'em, men!"

The Bandits grinned before rushing to Shanks and the others, "Yeah!"

Klein rolled his eyes. They're idiots. I can't believe this. If this got out, it would seems like the Red-Haired Pirates are bullying weak Mountain trolls. Does the Red-Haired Pirates not have any pictures or bounty being delivered in this place? They actually has no idea about Shanks and the others identity? He thought.

Shanks and the other didn't move, because Benn himself walk over with an easy grin.

"I'll handle this. Should be easy enough." He said, taking a good breath of his cigarette, his face looking a little lazy but quite stern as he pulled out his guns and look at the rushing mountain fools.

"Come on! Come on!" The Bandits said excitedly.

Hearing the excited arrogance in the Bandits voice, Klein snicker. "Ne~They look like Fools who rushed up to their graves with a smile?"

When Makino heard that, she flinch and continue to watch what's happening.

When one of the Bandits was about to stab Benn, he effortlessly dodge and stab his lit cigarette in that Bandit's eyes, causing that person to fall into the ground while screaming in pain. Then, with one strong move, Ben use his gun to knock off every Bandits before pointing his gun directly at Higuma.

Benn's other hand placed another unlit cigarette on his lips with a smile.

"Don't get cocky, bandit." Benn said, using his free hand to lit his cigarette as he turn his attention back at Higuma. "If you wanna fight us, then go drag a warship here or something."
