The gourmet among pirates

I saw that the poison that killed Rem and others was so poisonous.

Afraid that he might be contaminated by this poison accidentally, he begged the ministers and nobles of Rivers Kingdom.

Like frightened birds, they all subconsciously took a few steps back.

Like avoiding snakes and scorpions, he stayed away from the corpses of Rem and others.

Only a few people, including the old king, remained where they were.

He looked at his grandson who had turned into a pile of carrion, and even his body could not be preserved intact.

The old king's face was filled with sadness.

Even though they were far away and qualified to enter the palace, everyone attending this dinner could feel the sadness emanating from the old king.

But what no one saw was the disappointment and a hint of guilt that flashed deep in the old king's eyes.

·······

Stand still.

The old king was silent for a long time.

Then he slowly moved his eyes away from the puddle of rotten flesh on the ground that began to turn into pus and blood.

When the old king slowly straightened up.

He seemed to have become the king who was in charge of the life and death of the Kingdom of Qiu Rivers and was unruffled.

"Come on!"

The old king gave the order.

Guarding the kingdom, the commander of the guards wearing heavy armor moved quickly.

Amidst the sounds of metal friction, he quickly ran to the old king's side, and saluted with some fear:

"His Majesty!"

At this time, the guard commander's heart was almost in his throat.

As the commander of the guards protecting the palace.

Tonight, the revolutionary army sneaked into the palace and poisoned Prince Rem's grandson. Even His Majesty the King was assassinated. No matter what, he could not escape the blame.

If the king really cares about this matter, not only will he die miserably, but his family will also face a tragic fate.

Who would have thought that at this banquet, those lunatics from the revolutionary army would assassinate the king regardless of life and death, and even poisoned the grandson of Prince Rem who had just returned.

At this time, the commander of the guards had already greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the revolutionary army in his heart.

To be honest, until now, the guard commander still doesn't understand how the Revolutionary Army members sneaked into the palace of the Kingdom of Qiurifus.

You know, in order for this dinner to be held smoothly this time, the guard commander specially doubled the guard strength of the palace today.

But who knew, something would happen in the end.

Just when the commander of the palace guards was on tenterhooks.

With a "swish" sound, the old king pulled out the long sword from the guard commander's waist, swung the sword with both hands, and slashed hard at the guard commander's left arm.

Although the old king practiced for a period of time when he was young, he did not develop any strength, and he was also old.

Even cultivation has been put aside for decades.

Therefore, the speed of his slashing this time was not very fast in the eyes of the guard commander.

It is not difficult to avoid the old king's sword.

However, the guard commander did not dare to hide, and he could not hide.

He suppressed his body and subconsciously retreated.

The guard commander stood motionless.

The old king's long sword struck at the joints of the armor, slashing the well-made armor into a splatter of fire.

With the blessing of power, the sharp sword finally cut a hole in the armor, and then slashed on the flesh and blood inside the armor.

"Stab!"

After the sword strike, bright red blood quickly surged out from the gaps in the armor, and soon dyed the ground under his feet blood red.

I don’t know if the old king’s sword also cut off his arm.

This guard commander can be considered a ruthless person.

He took the old king's sword forcefully and stood there, silent.

Even though his forehead was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.

But he was still respectful, half-kneeling and said to the old king: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."

What he said was not nonsense. If the old king really wanted to kill him, the sword just struck him not at his arm, but at his neck.

of course.

If the old king's sword really struck his neck, it's hard to say whether he would still stand there and not hide.

······

After the sword strike, the panting old king dropped the blood-stained sword to the ground with a bang, and cursed angrily: "Trash!"

I don't know if he is scolding the commander of the guards or himself.

After the sword strike, the anger in the old king's heart seemed to be vented a lot.

After throwing down the sword in his hand, the old king looked at the commander of the guards and said coldly: "You useless thing, check it out for me and find out who killed my grandson. I want them dead!"

The guard commander endured the severe pain in his left arm and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will go check it out immediately!"

"If we can't find out, there's no need for you to come back alive!"

Hearing the cold, emotionless words of the old king, the guard commander couldn't help but shudder.

After saying "yes" again.

He stood up directly and walked out of the banquet hall.

As the guard leader walked, murderous intent surged in his heart, and even his eyes glowed with a captivating red light.

From a distance, it looks like a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour.

No strangers are allowed in.

The guard commander with gloomy eyes silently swore in his heart.

[No matter who you are, I will make you gutter rats pay the price. 】

·······

soon.

In the palace of the Kingdom of Qurifus, the sound of a large number of troops mobilizing could be heard.

And this storm, justice spread at an extremely fast speed in all directions.

soon.

The entire Qurifus Kingdom was shaken violently because of the assassination of the old king and the death of the great king Sun Shen.

Even several large islands and kingdoms nearby.

After hearing the news, they all paid attention to this matter.

The revolutionary army has always been a headache and fear for all the feudal kingdoms in the One Piece world.

If possible, no one would want their country to have anything to do with these guys.

Not to mention that among the surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Qurifus, which was considered a powerful country, had suffered heavy losses from the revolutionary army.

Not only was the king assassinated, but even the talented and intelligent king Sun Lemu was poisoned and killed in the kingdom on the first day after he was rescued.

Just this one thing.

It was as if they had foreseen the ruthless style of the revolutionary army.

Tsk tsk tsk, the rumors are indeed true.

The revolutionary army's treatment of royal nobles like them was indeed extremely cruel.

Some royal children even lamented.

"Not long ago, it was rumored that Rem was interested in joining the Revolutionary Army, but in just a few days, she was poisoned and killed by the Revolutionary Army for returning to her home. Now, it seems that if our country really encounters the Revolutionary Army, we, the It is no longer feasible for the royal family’s children to join the Revolutionary Army. It seems that there is really a fight to the death between us and the Revolutionary Army!”

for a while.

The various kingdoms in the East China Sea have followed the trend and conducted strict investigations on those suspicious elements suspected of being the revolutionary army in their own kingdoms.

·······

At this time, the Kingdom of Rivers was at the center of the storm.

The old king stood alone by the window of his study.

Looking at the brightly lit palace outside the window, he remained silent.

I don't know how much time passed, but when the sound of a door being opened was heard, the old king turned around from the window.

And he closed the study window.

The eldest prince opened the door and came in.

Like the old king, he almost closed the door to the study in unison.

After a few seconds of silence.

The old king asked in a deep voice: "Have everything been done?"

Nearly middle-aged, the eldest prince who was originally in the prime of life seemed to be a little older now. Even his straight back seemed to be a little stooped. He looked at his father with complicated eyes and said: "Everyone has grown up." It’s done, I’ll take care of everyone who knows about it tonight.”

The old king nodded when he heard this: "Just deal with it."

Looking at the expressionless old king in front of him.

The eldest prince opened his mouth, with a look of pain on his face, and said bitterly: "Father, Rem is your grandson. We can obviously let him escape by pretending to die as he said, so why bother really to poison him."

That's right.

The grandson of Prince Rem, who has extraordinary qualifications, is not pretending to die this time, but is really dead and cannot die anymore.

It was precisely for this reason that the old king showed such sadness at the banquet before.

Because he was optimistic about his grandson, and because of his own thoughts.

He ruined his life with his own hands.

The old king glanced at his son and said with cold eyes: "Hypocrisy, why do I really want to kill him? Do you really not know?"

"I have always been very fond of Rem because he is born with the temperament to become a king. I have even made plans for Rem to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Rivers after a hundred years from us."

"For this reason, I can tolerate Rem's usual willfulness, I can pardon those prisoners because of his intolerance, and I can even change a country's policy for him..."

"However, I will never allow him to join the revolutionary army and destroy the foundation of our family's rule over the Kingdom of Qurifus."

"We know Rem's qualifications very well. With his qualifications, if he really joins the Revolutionary Army, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the Revolutionary Army."

"Based on his character, do you think he would come back after taking power within the Revolutionary Army? In order to gain a good reputation from the Kingdom of Rivers, he would experiment with the Kingdom of Rivers and become a pasture for the Revolutionary Army."

"At that time, our rule over the Qurifus Kingdom will be completely ruined in the hands of that traitorous grandson. Do you really not know this?"

"If you really don't know, will you obey my order and poison your son to death?"

The eldest prince of the Kingdom of Rivers opened his mouth, unable to argue.

Knowing son Moruo father.

With Rem's character, how could he not be clear about what his father said? It was probably what would happen to them in the future.

By that time.

I am afraid.

The Kingdom of Rivers will really become a country controlled by the revolutionary army.

Well known.

There is no king in the country controlled by the revolutionary army.

At that time, I am afraid that the royal family of their lineage will be in trouble.

They will all fall from the altar and become a member of the common people!

And this is something that the old king, who values ​​bloodline very seriously, will never allow.

This is also something that...as the eldest prince who is the future king of Rivers Kingdom, is not allowed.

It is precisely because Rem may cut off their royal family's rule over the Kingdom of Rivers due to the revolutionary army in the future.

Only the old king would kill him and turn what Rem thought was a fake death into the real death now.

I'm afraid Rem, who originally proposed this plan, never thought that her own grandfather would actually kill him!

Even...it was his father who did it himself.

In front of the throne that rules a country.

At this moment, the indifferent family affection among the royal bloodline was undoubtedly revealed.

·······

And somewhere on the East China Sea.

Molin was dumbfounded as he listened to the psychological activities that Enel heard through the MindNet's mind-reading technology in the palace of King Qurifus.

"What, you asked the old king of Rivers Kingdom to really poison his grandson, instead of letting him fake his death and escape to join the revolutionary army."

Enelu nodded, "Yes, it was after hearing the old king's inner thoughts that I said that there is no family affection in the royal family. Even his own grandson can be killed without hesitation. That old guy It’s really cruel.”

After hearing this, Mo Lin couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"This is really..."

After a long time, Mo Lin calmed down and then sighed quietly.

Unexpectedly, by bringing the little guy back to the palace of Qiurifus Kingdom, he actually saved his life.

I knew this earlier.

Might as well let that guy fend for himself.

However, after this incident, Morin had a more thorough understanding of the kingdoms in the world of One Piece.

this world.

I have long been sick to my core.

Even though the Kingdom of Rivers, which seems to support him and is very close to him, is definitely not on the same page as him.

Because there is indifference and indifference to human life in their bones.

They can kill even their own grandson at will.

Then.

What about the rest.

Do they really care about the lives and deaths of the ordinary people at the bottom of the world?

·······

Just when Maureen sighed because he begged the cold-blooded old king of the Rivers Kingdom, the phone bug in his arms rang, "Bulu, Bulu, Bulu, Bulu, Bulu..." stand up.

"Sword Comes"

Got a phone number?

Call me at this time, could it be...

Mo Lin, who seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes dimmed, reached out, took out the microphone on the back of the phone bug, and answered the call.

as predicted.

After answering the call, he heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.

This voice was the voice of "Bello Betty", the commander of the Eastern Navy of the Revolutionary Army, who had just parted ways with Mo Lin and the others.

"Hey, hey, is it Maureen?"

After taking the call, Mo Lin said quietly: "It's me!"

After hearing Maureen's voice on the other end of the phone.

Bello Betty on the other end of the phone seemed to have found a creditor.

He complained to Mo Lin crazily: "Hey, I finally got in touch with you..."
