People are full of pirates

Chapter 418 Wano Country

Nuo Xia didn't interrupt his divination, but stood beside him with great interest, quietly watching the whole process.

It's a magical ability, and it has nothing to do with Devil Fruit. I don't know if it's an ancestral secret book in the Hawkins family, or where I learned it from.

"Why, you know me?" He took off the hood on his head and asked casually.

"You are joking."

Hawkins smiled wryly, "With your prestige and reputation, in the new world, people who cannot be recognized face to face are probably even rarer than fates that cannot be predicted by cards."

"Then why don't you panic at all?"

Nuo Xia glanced at the black skull flag fluttering on the mast, and then he recognized that it was the flag of the Beasts Pirates.

"That's what I was going to explain to you."

Hawkins stroked his chest and saluted slightly, and said respectfully, "If it's a pirate, I'm naturally frightened at this time. Our identity is not what you think..."

He suddenly came to his senses, and looked up at the smiling Nuo Xia in astonishment: "You...you have already seen it?"

"What do you say?"

Nuo Xia smiled noncommittally, and looked back at a certain figure behind the crowd, with a smile on his face: "Long time no see, Galio."

"Nuoxia!!!"

In the midst of surprise, a white and fat figure rushed over cheering, and bumped into Nuo Xia's arms, "Haha! It's really you! I thought it was you when I saw the lightning on your body just now, but I'm not sure yet. It turns out I guessed right!"

"If it wasn't for your aura that couldn't hide it from me, I almost wouldn't have recognized you just based on your appearance."

Nuo Xia laughed and hugged each other vigorously. After separating, she looked at the blond middle-aged fat man with a beard and a beard in front of her, with a slightly strange expression on her face.

"I said, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right? Why have you gained so much weight all of a sudden?"

The other party was Shia's most loyal admirer, the king of Lot Kingdom, Galio VI.

A stubborn, naive, childish king.

Nuo Xia has always had a good impression of him, but in his memory, Galio was a fool at the time, but he was also a handsome blond guy.

How did it turn into a squirt gun so quickly?

"Hey." Galio smiled embarrassedly, scratched his hair and said, "No way, Aria's food is really delicious. When I was in China, I had extra meals every night. After two years I gained more than a hundred catties..."

Aria?
Nuo Xia was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that when she was still in the headquarters a few years ago, she heard Shi Ya mention that Galio had finally held his own wedding ceremony.

The bride is the daughter of a civil servant who has admired him for a long time. It seems that her name is the same. The relationship between the husband and wife is quite deep and harmonious, and it is also a good story in the Kingdom of Lot.

Sure enough, a happy married life is the biggest weapon for a man to gain weight...

"Your Majesty." Hawkins on the side couldn't help interjecting and asked, "You and Master Nuo Xia... have known each other for a long time?"

"Yeah yeah!"

After finally seeing Nuo Xia again, Galio hadn’t recovered from his excitement, he said with a silly smile, “That was all eight or nine years ago! It’s the first time I mentioned my father and went to the Holy Land to participate in the world competition. The meeting was personally escorted by Nuo Xia."

At that time, I was serving as a major general in Xihai, right? Eight or nine years ago?Is it already that far away...

"It's been a long time..."

Nuo Xia was also a little emotional for a while, but when he saw the endlessly excited Galio, his smile disappeared the next moment. Under Galio's nervous gaze, he looked down at him expressionlessly, and said:

"Then, His Majesty Galio, should you explain to me that the Kingdom of Lot is thousands of kilometers away from here. As the lord of a country, why did you appear here out of nowhere?"

"Uh……"

Galio glanced at Nuo Xia with a guilty conscience, he was speechless, and secretly cast a look at Hawkins for help, but the latter just shrugged his shoulders slightly, throwing a look that you wished for.

……

After a few minutes.

"...that's the way it is."

Under the sun umbrella on the deck, Galio finished speaking with a bitter face.

Nuo Xia, who was sitting opposite, looked at him speechlessly.

The story is nothing special, it is probably a story of a young king who escaped secretly in folklore.

Galio has a restless temperament, always stays in the capital, and often wanders around the country when he has nothing to do. He also likes to visit privately without his entourage and guards.

A group of ministers who were always unable to find anyone were frightened all the year round, worried about his safety, and remonstrated several times, coupled with the persuasion of the princess, Galio barely calmed down for a while.

Results a while ago.

After hearing that Nuo Xia appeared at the tea party and destroyed the whole world with his own power, Galio was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

He also heard rumors that the next target was probably another sea emperor, Kaido, so his curiosity arose immediately, and he couldn't help sneaking out of the palace in the middle of the night, and went straight to Wano Country by boat, wanting to be on the spot , Witness history with your own eyes.

This kind of ridiculous request, the staid and upright old captain of the guards in the palace knew that it was impossible to agree without asking, and the distance was far away, and he couldn't do it without an escort.

So Galio simply found a group of caravan guards with a good reputation in the Kingdom of Lot, that is, Hawkins and his group, and temporarily appointed him as the captain of the royal guard to escort him on this journey.

It also put on the banner of the Beast Pirates to deter the pirates along the way and avoid unnecessary troubles.

I have to say that this journey has actually been quite smooth.

It's just that I didn't expect that the pirate who made up his mind missed him, but when he was about to arrive in Wano Country, he ran into a terrifying ocean storm.

"idiot."

Nuo Xia couldn't help but patted the table, pretending to be angry and yelling, "I really want to open your brains and see what you think!"

"The base camp of the Hundred Beasts Pirates is such a dangerous place. The other pirates know that there is going to be a war there, and they wish they could hide as far away as possible. Fortunately, you are thousands of kilometers away, but you want to rush over to join in the fun! Don’t you know how to write dead?”

"I... I know Kaido is dangerous."

Galio was taken aback by his ferocious appearance, lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Yes, but you will be there too, as long as there is a fight, the entire Beasts Pirates will be eliminated by you soon The one that fell, should...shouldn't have noticed me?"

"..." Nuo Xia held her forehead and sighed, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Galio nodded vigorously.

Nuo Xia really didn't know what to say for a while, and then turned to look at Hawkins who had been standing quietly by the side.

A group of pirates who should have been entrenched in the North Sea for many years, and would not enter the new world as a supernova until ten years later, but in this timeline, they became well-known caravan guards, and were even killed by the king of a country. Trust is important and has embarked on a completely different path.

This is probably another manifestation of the widespread influence of the butterfly effect. The half a year he traveled around in Beihai was not in vain after all.

Seeing him looking over, Hawkins smiled wryly and spread his hands:

"My lord, I also persuaded His Majesty before departure, but he insisted on going, and I have no choice. Moreover, I agree with His Majesty, and I also think that the Hundred Beasts Pirates are not your opponents at all. If the situation is not right, I should also be able to protect His Majesty's retreat immediately."

"The victory or defeat has nothing to do with your safety."

Nuo Xia shook her head slightly, "Kaido is indeed not my opponent, but the Hundred Beasts Pirates, after all, have a scale of tens of thousands of people. With the lessons learned from the tea party, they must be gathering troops now, shrinking their defenses, and waiting for them."

"If there is any trouble around the ghost island, they can't hide it from their eyes and ears, and Kaido doesn't need to take action. As long as his cadres find out, you will bury your lives there on the spot."

He looked at Hawkins, who was getting more and more embarrassed, and said lightly, "Or, do you have the confidence to take the whole boat and run away from them? Plague Quinn? Or drought? Senna?"

Plague Quinn, Drought Senna... These are all monsters with a reputation in the New World. Hawkins blushed: "I took it for granted, Lord Nuoxia..."

"As long as you know."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly.

This was ten years ago in the timeline of the manga. Hawkins' strength was far from enough in his eyes. He escaped from his hands.

"Go back, His Majesty Galio."

He got up and left the table, and finally glanced at the anxious Galio, "It doesn't matter if you can't help but wander around in the country, but the sea outside called the New World is still too dangerous for you right now."

"You are the king of a country, you have to think more about the country and the people, those ministers should have said it many times, and you are probably tired of hearing it, so I won't say more."

"I just hope that you will think more about your family before you are in danger, especially... your wife who loves you deeply."

"Um..."

Galio nodded dejectedly, but Nuo Xia saw his duplicity, turned around, looked at the distant sky, and said lightly, "Be patient for a while, you can travel freely in the new world... then One day, it will come eventually, it won't be far away."

"If you can't hold back even this little time, it's up to you. Anyway, after you die, I will take Shia and happily go to the Lot Kingdom for a banquet."

The voice fell.

Zizi!Lei Guang suddenly exploded, and his figure turned into a blue streamer, soaring into the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

"What a frightening speed, as expected of Master Nuo Xia..."

Hawkins watched Liu Guang go away, and after a sigh of emotion, he turned his head to look at Galio who was stunned in place, and said hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, what should we do now, should we follow up secretly, or turn around..."

"Turn around! Go back!"

Galio woke up in a jerk. With a face full of fear, he slammed the table hard and gritted his teeth: "I must go back immediately! Before the new world is safe, I will never sneak out of the country again. Let Xi Ya cry for me ...this kind of thing, this kind of thing..."

"No matter what, it must not happen!!!"

ha?
Hawkins was a little dazed, and looked at the surrounding royal guards, and found that they were also confused.

——Your Majesty has always ignored the words of persuasion and is used to doing things in his own way. Why did he... change his mind so quickly this time?
………………

Two days later.

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

In a dilapidated town, in a teahouse beside a certain mountain road.

"My lord, please, let us go this time!!"

"We promise, we will never dare in the future! We will never dare to come here to rob again!!!"

Nuo Xia was sitting under the tarpaulin, drinking tea calmly, while on the mountain road a few meters away, more than a dozen bandits were weeping bitterly, knelt down and kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy.

They didn't dare to stop when they were not answered, and soon their foreheads were red and swollen, and the blood was blurred.

"Master Samurai."

The proprietress of the teahouse who was refilling the pot next to her couldn't bear it, and begged softly, "They don't deserve to die, otherwise, you'd better give them a chance and let them go."

Hearing this, the bandits immediately raised their heads in surprise and looked at Nuo Xia eagerly.

"Miss Ahe, are you sure?"

Nuo Xia sighed, and looked back at the proprietress in front of her, "Don't forget, just now, they knocked down several tea tables and threatened you to hand over all the money."

"If I didn't happen to drink tea here, I'm afraid your hard work this year would have been in vain."

The proprietress's name is Ahe, she is dressed in a traditional kimono, although she is nearly forty years old and her face is weathered, but it can still be seen that she must have been a gentle beauty like Yamato Nadeko when she was young.

"My concubine knows."

Ah He sighed faintly, "But these children were not bandits in the first place, they were all poor people from nearby towns. The world was difficult, and they were forced to become bandits by Heitan's family because they couldn't survive."

"It is true that they occasionally go down the mountain to plunder, but most of them still rely on hunting in the mountains for a living. When they come to ask for money, they know how to measure it. I have never heard of them killing people."

Ahe smiled wryly, "If there is no other way, they would definitely not want to be reduced to what they are now, so... please forgive me and give them a chance to survive."

As she said that, she took out two money bags from her bosom, pushed one to Nuo Xia, and took the other to the mountain road, and handed it to the bandit in the lead.

The bandit in the lead looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. He stared blankly at the purse in his hand, and then looked up at Ah He with gentle eyes.

This scene was seen by Nuo Xia. He glanced at these thin and yellow bandits, and then looked in the direction of the prosperous Flower City in the distance, and sighed softly.

What a crime, Mita.

Before he traveled, the plot of the manga had not yet advanced to Wano country, so he didn't know much about this country of warriors that had been closed for hundreds of years. Many things were learned from some confidential documents of the headquarters after he later became a high-level navy.

He couldn't understand Oden's brain circuit, and couldn't appreciate what he did.

Wano Country has been reduced to what it is today. As the supreme leader, Kozuki Oden, who shoulders the expectations of the people, is absolutely to blame.
