The gourmet among pirates

When he learned that the Moonlight Saint who forced the Grand Duke of Moscow to seek help from the Navy and the World Government was the little girl he had saved.

Even Ace, who has a somewhat carefree personality, couldn't help but secretly sigh and sigh at the magic of fate.

Who would have thought that a little girl who loved to cry would actually become a person who was regarded as a saint by hundreds of thousands of people, and even the prince of a country was extremely afraid of her!

He shook his head and pushed the thought out of his mind.

Ace touched the back of his head and suddenly realized: "I didn't expect the so-called Moonlight Saint to be you! No wonder I always felt that I had heard the name Monroe somewhere."

Monroe squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "What, are you surprised?"

"Accident? A little bit!" Ace scratched his hair and said: "But it's also a bit of a headache! This time Grand Duke Moscow submitted an application to the Navy and the World Government, hoping that our navy would come over to help suppress the demagogues in Prince Moscow. The cult..."

While speaking, Ace's slightly red eyes stared directly at Monroe, paying close attention to the expression on Monroe's face.

It is indeed a happy thing to meet old friends again.

If Monroe was not a saint of the Moonlight Church, maybe she would be invited to have a meal with her after this mission.

but now.

Ace wanted to find out what was going on with the Moonlight Church where Monroe belonged.

Because Monroe was the crybaby nun he saved back then, and because of the information he had learned in the city before, Ace's inner preference had actually been unknowingly leaning towards Monroe.

However, he did not forget Robin's advice.

Coupled with the evil aura that erupted in vain from Hungry Knight Perkins just before Monroe came down, Ace was a little hesitant.

Therefore, Ace simply told Monroe the reason why he came to the Principality of Moskot.

Say it bluntly this time.

It's not that Ace believed Monroe, but it was the most direct test of her.

Ace's slightly red eyes were proof that he was using all his power to see and hear Haki.

Although Ace's domineering power of knowledge and knowledge is far from comparable to Enel's "heart" that can read people's hearts.

But after getting along with Enel for a long time, Ace's skills in using knowledge, color and domineering have also improved greatly. Apart from anything else, he can still distinguish whether what others are telling is the truth or lies.

Opposite Ace.

After hearing the word "cult", Monroe's face looked a little ugly, and her delicate eyebrows almost wrinkled.

"Is it a cult..."

After laughing at himself.

Before Monroe could answer Ace's question, Samuda, who was behind Monroe, suddenly shouted angrily: "You bastard navy, keep your mouth clean, don't fucking fart here. If our Moonlight Church is a cult, then Who do you think you are? Are you just lackeys who help others commit evil..."

Not to mention Samda, who had a deep prejudice against the navy because of the past, even Famine Knight Perkins felt an unquenchable anger in his heart after hearing the word "cult" in Ace's mouth.

Even the source of famine, which had been suppressed by Monroe, seemed to be making a comeback after feeling the emotions of the Perkins riots.

"Samuda!!!"

After stopping Samda who wanted to rush up and fight Ace, Monroe asked Ace seriously: "Do you also feel that Moonlight Church is a so-called cult?"

Ace shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"As you know, I have only arrived on this island a few hours ago. How could I find out in such a short period of time whether the Moonlight Church is a so-called cult?"

"So, I want you to tell me the answer!"

"Of course we are not a cult!" Monroe affirmed: "We are just a group of fools who want more people and a better life."

"Two years ago, a rare flood broke out in the Principality of Moskot. This flood flooded a large number of crops and washed away the houses of countless villagers. As a result, the Principality of Moskot lost all harvests and starved to death all over the land."

"In this case, the Grand Duke of Moscow and his nobles joined forces to buy a large amount of food from neighboring countries. When the ships of food arrived at the port, the civilians who were about to starve to death broke out. The people cheered loudly, cheering that they had hope again. But who knew that what was waiting for them was not hope, but a deeper despair."

"Grand Duke Moskva and his nobles did not care about the lives of the civilians at all, nor did they think about distributing the food to the civilians. The food shipped by the big ships was just to ensure that they could Just continue to live a life of luxury, wine and meat."

"Under such despair, the civilians broke out! In order to survive, thousands of civilians attacked the grain ship, just to grab a bite of food from the ship, but they were so hungry that they had no strength to run. How could they be the opponents of those heavily armed troops escorting food supplies!"

"That time, after tens of thousands of corpses were left behind, the civilians of the entire Principality of Moskot fell into despair in the face of the heart-rending hunger. In this case, it was him... ··”

As he spoke, Monroe pointed to the famine knight Perkins behind him and said: "He was the one who withstood the power of the source of famine. With his own power, he swallowed the hunger of the entire civilian population of the Principality of Moskot, and endured it for everyone. The hunger that could drive people crazy gave the civilians of the Principality of Moskot a glimmer of hope."

"It is precisely because of this that the common people of the entire Principality of Moskot regard the Moonlight Church as their faith, and in just one or two years, the Moonlight Church developed into what it is now."

"I don't know what kind of cult you think of. Anyway, I don't think the Moonlight Church is a cult. I believe that the common people in the entire Principality of Moskot will not regard the Moonlight Church as a cult..."

Is that so?

From Monroe's somewhat angry explanation, Ace seemed to understand why the Moonlight Church developed so rapidly.

Exchange sincerity for sincerity, and only in this way can a small Moonlight Monastery develop into such a behemoth in such a short period of time!

He also easily took away the power of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Moscow, which made him so afraid.

Because, in the hearts of the common people of the Principality of Moscow, their trust in the Moonlight Church has long surpassed that of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Moscow.

After all, on one side was the Moonlight Monastery who came to help them when they were in dire straits, and on the other side was the Grand Duke of the Kingdom who didn't care about the lives of civilians like them and only cared about having fun with the nobles.

Even a fool will have his own preference!

Because of his domineering presence, Ace knew very well that Monroe did not lie in front of him.

So.

When Ace once again looked at Perkins, the famine knight who had fought with him just now, his eyes showed overflowing admiration.

He single-handedly endures the hunger of countless people in a country.

Thinking about this terrifying feeling gave Ace goosebumps all over his body.

Apart from anything else, Ace respected Perkins as a man for being able to endure such hunger.

The combined hunger of all civilians in a country. This kind of hunger makes one’s head tingle just thinking about it?

Ordinary people, let alone endure it, would probably go crazy the first time they accept this feeling of hunger!

Anyway, Ace felt that he couldn't bear such hunger, which was why he had special admiration for men like Famine Knight Perkins.

With this terrifying spiritual will, it can be said that the lean blond man in front of him is the strongest willed person Ace has ever seen.

Moreover, he wanted to give the civilians a chance of survival.

The behavior of swallowing up their hunger made Ace admire him even more.

Regardless of his position, Perkins used his actions to prove the shining point of his will.

As for the violent aura he felt just now, it must be the so-called source of hunger mentioned by Monroe!

Of course, it is also possible that he had consumed too much hunger, and the sequelae of his twisted mind are uncertain.

Ace wouldn't be surprised if that level of hunger left any lingering effects.

Maybe this.

This is one of the reasons why he felt that the Famine Knight was suppressed by Monroe's holy aura in the first place!

Thinking of Perkins, Ace could not help but think of the other three Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who were as famous as Perkins.

Then asked.

"The Famine Knight almost endured the hunger of a whole country and created a glimmer of hope for the civilians. Then the other three so-called Apocalypse Knights wouldn't have had the same experience!"

"That's not true." Monroe shook his head and explained: "After the flood, the plague was raging, and the Plague Knight was with me, running around when the plague was raging, helping to eliminate the source of the plague one after another. He will be called the Plague Knight."

"War and death are the ones who give death to their enemies. The knights who lead the order have won the war again and again, so they are called knights of death and war."

It turned out to be the case.

But this is only reasonable!

Plague is not the same as hunger. This is a real disease.

If the Plague Knight also endured the plague of the entire country along with the Hungry Knight.

I am afraid that the first time he endures the plague, the power of the plague will be amplified tens of thousands of times, corroding his body in an instant, and then thousands of diseases will break out and die.

Not to mention death.

The same goes for war.

After listening to the explanation given by Saint Monroe, Ace felt a little relieved and at the same time sighed.

Sure enough, there are still a few ruthless people with rock-solid willpower like the Famine Knights.

After hearing the introduction of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Ace shouted subconsciously, "I probably know what the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are saying, but what about you! Your reputation and status are far above those of the Famine Knights, what kind of abilities do you have?"

"Me?" Monroe was surprised for a moment, and then said: "I am just a lucky person with the ability to heal."

"Not at all!"

After Monroe finished speaking, Perkins, the Famine Knight behind him, retorted: "Her Royal Highness the Saint is the greatest person. She has sacrificed everything for this country and thousands of civilians..."

Just as Perkins was about to continue speaking, Monroe interrupted him.

"Okay, Mr. Perkins!"

···········

After some explanations from Saint Monroe, Ace temporarily chose to believe her.

after that.

After Monroe put on a sunhat that covered most of her face, she personally took Ace into a small town outside Greenland Harbor.

·······················

at the same time.

In the waters outside the Principality of Moscow.

War Knight, Plague Knight, Death Knight, and other three knights are rapidly approaching the Greenland Port in various sea areas.

On the "Victory" of the War Knights.

The War Knight took the helm himself and drove the "Victory", which he pushed to the extreme speed, riding the wind and waves and flying all the way.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

When I think of the news from Moonlight Monastery.

The war knight was so anxious that he wished he could give the "Victory" a pair of wings to make it run faster.

Now in Moonlight Monastery, only Famine Knight Perkins has a certain strength to stop "Fire Sword" Ace. As for the others, even Samuda and others are far behind in strength.

In this case, if Perkins failed to guard, those people would hurt Her Royal Highness the Saint.

Such consequences are absolutely unbearable for the war knights.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come out this time and let that guy from Famine Knight stay alone in Moonlight Monastery."

at the same time.

In another sea area of ​​​​the principality of Moskot, a pirate group was being wiped out, and not even a single death knight was left alive. He also received an urgent contact from Moonlight Monastery.

"Did something happen at the monastery?"

"Navy, 'Fire Sword' Ace! This is really a generous move! I hope Her Majesty the Saint will be okay this time, otherwise I will have to peel off the skin of that guy Perkins, light a sky lantern, and let him be buried with Her Majesty the Saint. .”

Compared to the rush of the war knights.

On the death knight's side, although his eyes were flashing with extremely strong killing intent.

But he didn't mean to panic at all. Instead, after arranging everything in an orderly manner, he took his knights and braved the wind and waves to return to the Principality of Moskot.

Compared to the other two Apocalypse Knights who received the news, the Plague Knights who were in a certain town were using the source of the plague to continuously absorb the air of the plague to treat the residents of the town.

The phone bug was not carried in the first place.

It was not until a long time after the urgent contact from Moonlight Monastery that he learned the news from one of his knights.

As soon as he received the news, he dropped everything he was doing and rushed towards Moonlight Monastery.
