Pirate's Swordsman

The announcement Luo mentioned was made by Xia Nuo when he first arrived at Cake Island yesterday.

The content is also very simple, mainly to appease the people. On the one hand, it shows that the Gale Fleet is only the enemy of the Big Mom Pirates and will not attack the ordinary people on the island.

On the other hand, it was announced that in the future, the Gale Fleet, as the new ruler, would collect 40% of the tax revenue it had in the past Ten Thousand Kingdoms period, and the people would no longer need to hand over souls as before in exchange for the new ruler. The right to live on the island.

As soon as this announcement came out, the people who were a little worried because of the change of rulers suddenly felt much calmer.

Especially the latter one. Although people are not so naive as to be grateful to Xia Nuo because of this unfulfilled verbal promise, they finally have some expectations in their hearts and do not become hostile to the crew of the Gale Fleet. .

"The atmosphere on the island is still a bit depressing now. By the end of the month, when residents find out that taxes have indeed been reduced a lot, it will be completely different."

Luo Wei smiled and said, "People have to adapt to the process after all. Although the territory of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms is indeed Lord Xia Nuo's now, it will take some time for us to fully control this sea area. The road to the future is still far away. ."

The members of the Heart Pirates, including Xia Jin, were suddenly startled and looked thoughtful.

Only Bebo still lowered his head, kicking stones with his feet as he walked, looking glum.

"What's wrong, Bebo?"

Luo noticed its expression, raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "Hey, it seems that you have been like this since a few days ago. You didn't even tell me what happened when I asked on the boat."

"captain."

Bebo raised his head with aggrieved expression on his face: "Do you think I am a combatant on the ship or a pet?"

"That's the problem"

Luo was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and said hesitantly, "Although I sometimes use you as a pillow, and everyone likes to touch your head, as for pets, strictly speaking, it's not a question of why you should ask this."

"It's not like those nasty navy"

Bebo took out a wanted notice from his pocket, unfolded it towards his companions, and said angrily: "After the new reward is offered this time, captain, your reward has increased by one to two hundred million, and Xia Jin and the others have also increased by a lot. Why?" That’s just me”

Luo and the others looked in the direction pointed by its furry bear paws, and saw a line of large characters printed below the reward photo:

Beibo the white bear, the pet of the Heart Pirates, with a bounty of 550 Baileys

""

The street suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

After a while.

"Hahahaha"

Luo, Xia Jin and others looked at each other and finally couldn't hold it in anymore. They held their stomachs and burst out laughing.

"You guys are still laughing"

Bebo was almost crying with anger, and said aggrievedly, "Obviously I have participated in many battles in the past two years, okay? In this war, I even killed a guy who had a bounty of 50 million Baileys."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone laughed louder, and Xia Jin almost burst into tears. He finally managed to catch his breath, patted Bebo on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be discouraged. Bebo, your previous bounty was 500 beli. Isn't this an increase of 50 for you? It's enough to buy a newspaper. Just be satisfied. Hahahaha."

"That's right, Bebo, what about pets? Pets also have a future."

Another female crew member hugged Bebo's round belly from behind and laughed:

"Look at Xiao Luo, isn't he also Lord Xia Nuo's pet? The previous bounty was not high. After so many years, the bounty is now more than 7 million Baileys. Even our captain can't even match half of it. Woolen cloth"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't take me with you," Luo said angrily as black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Why is it less than half of Xiao Luo? The bounty is not a combat unit, so what does it count for me, 0.5 eagles?

On the balcony of the castle.

Two figures were standing side by side in front of the railing, drinking wine and looking at the street shrouded in the sunset in the distance.

"The atmosphere of these pirate groups under your command is quite good."

Looking at the Heart Pirates group who were laughing and playing, the man on the right said softly, "I haven't seen this kind of scene for a long time. It's really enviable."

“It’s always like this when you’re young and have dreams, but as time goes by and there are more people, you may not know whether it will change.”

The person on the left was Xia Nuo. He smiled and looked at the figure on the right, "What are your plans after leaving?"

"Not sure yet."

The man on the right drank all the wine in the bottle and whispered: "Smoothie plans to go to the East China Sea and find a quiet town to live in, away from the disturbance of the outside world."

"And that's not the case for me."

The man put down the bottle and said with a wry smile, "Although most of them have died in the hands of the nuns, and some of them have learned how to use Crackers and ran away, there are still a few young brothers and sisters on the island. I can't just Just ignore them."

"After all, an elder brother is like a father. It seems that you will be troubled in the future."

Xia Nuo also drank the rest of the wine. The wine was sake and the alcohol content was not high. He liked the feeling of being tipsy. "Isn't it interesting to be a dad and lead a group of children to explore the sea? Why does it sound like a bigmom?" It was a bit like that back then.”

"That's different. Mom basically didn't care about us back then. When my younger siblings were bullied, it was Irving and I who went to get back the situation."

The afterglow of the sunset fell on the man's face. He was silent for a while, then turned to look at Xia Nuo and said seriously:

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what"

Xia Nuo shrugged, "I killed Big Mom with my own hands. I only let you go because of our previous friendship. Don't get me wrong. Just come to me for revenge as late as possible in the future."

"Nothing to get revenge on."

Katakuri shook his head, his face calm, "Mom, she only brought it upon herself. In fact, I thank you not only because you didn't plan to continue to imprison me and my younger brothers and sisters, but also for you." Help me finally be freed from the burden of the Charlotte family."

"Yeah"

Xia Nuo smiled. He seemed to have expected this. He did not say anything. Instead, he took out two more bottles of wine from the ground under his feet. One was thrown to Katakuri, and the other was unscrewed by himself. build:

"It's really a failure. A woman who has been trying hard to have children all her life and pinned her hope of maintaining her rule on blood relations. After her death, her children didn't even have anyone who wanted to avenge her, not even the most important person in her life. My son is no exception."

"Let alone revenge, the only people crying for her are Brynn and Qifeng."

Katakuri was not annoyed, he just opened the bottle and drank slowly, "I don't know if Laura has received the news. It has been two years since she ran away from marriage. If she sees the newspaper, she will probably be sad." It’ll take a while.”

Brynn, Qifeng, Laura.

All three of them have been disliked by Big Mom for a long time. They have always been unpopular in the family, and they even almost died at the hands of their own mothers.

But when Big Mom dies, it will be these three kind-hearted daughters who will cry for her, and these are the only three people. This has to be said to be a great irony.

Neither of them spoke any more, but bathed in the dusk and drank the remaining wine in silence.
