Pirates control thunder and lightning

In front of Nicholas, a towering castle looks like one in a Western fantasy novel. The castle is surrounded by a huge wall that is tens of meters high. It is really hard to imagine how this small island built such a huge castle. .

"This castle must be a thousand years old."

Just when Belin was looking at this huge castle full of history, a huge roar sounded, and then Westad put away his ax and showed a silly smile to Nicholas: "Captain, the door is open."

"Then let's go in and see what gives the king of this country so much confidence."

Nicholas then took the lead in stepping into the split castle door.

There was a dead silence in the castle at this time, as if the people inside had disappeared out of thin air before Nicholas and the others arrived.

Inside the castle, huge candles can be seen everywhere, illuminating the interior of the castle, which was originally poorly lit, as if it were daylight.

In the empty hall inside the castle, there are guards standing on both sides who don't know whether they are armor models or real people. At the end of the hall is a tall staircase. Above the staircase is a huge throne. In front of the throne are hundreds of guards in armor. He knelt on one knee in front of the throne, leaning on his weapon.

And on top of that huge throne, a huge figure was sitting. He was wearing heavy armor and holding a sword with both hands. He was the same tower that had previously ordered his men to kill the envoy sent by the Rocks Pirates to bring tribute. Ji Baisi is also the only king of this generation of Taji royal family!

Nicholas walked step by step, and when he arrived at the hall, he stared at the person sitting on the throne.

The people above the throne seemed to have raised their heads because of the intrusion of Nicholas and the others.

"Oh... Rocks Pirates, captain of the seventh team, Thor Nicholas, didn't expect Rocks to send you. Originally, I thought that guy would only send some of his pirate groups over."

Taji Perth said calmly, as if he was not surprised at all by Nicholas' arrival.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

Nicholas looked at King Perth sitting on the throne and said.

"Of course I'm not surprised. After all, it just omits some intermediate steps. In the original plan, we first killed Rocks' envoys, and then introduced the Rocks Pirate Group's higher combat power step by step."

King Persi paused as he spoke, then glanced at Nicholas and said, "I just didn't expect that it would be you who came, which makes me feel a little distressed."

"Actually, I didn't want to come, but I couldn't help it. That guy asked me to come. But I'm curious about what gave you such courage to provoke that monster?"

Nicholas is really curious. After all, Rocks has been very famous in the New World for so many years. And although he will ask many islands in the New World to pay tribute, it is not as good as the heavenly gold that will be handed over to the Celestial Dragons. There is still some gap, and in the new world, as long as you pay tribute to Rocks, you can get the protection of the Rocks Pirates.

This is also the survival method of many New World countries, by handing over money and materials to some powerful pirate groups in exchange for their protection. Just like the Whitebeard Pirates Group's expenses to maintain so many pirates are destined to be huge. Expenditures, so the protection fees collected in the territory are the bulk of it, but what is obtained from plunder are just trivial details.

Nicholas couldn't imagine that the world government would risk revenge from the Sword of Jibek and enter the new world to punish these countries for not handing over the gold from the sky.

Why would King Persi risk revenge from Rocks to do something that was not harmful to his own country?

Upon hearing this, King Perce's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he said without emotion: "Hahaha, boy, have you underestimated the strength of the World Government. As for resisting the Rocks Pirates, that's not a thing. Something interesting!?"

As he spoke, King Persi stood up, grabbed forward suddenly, and clenched his fists: "My soldiers, let them see your terror!"

All of the hundreds of armor-clad guards who were kneeling in front of King Perth immediately tapped the armor on their chests with their left hands and lowered their heads: "Defend the King's glory to the death!"

......

Just when Nicholas and the others were in the castle, a white mist suddenly filled the entire Taji Island, and this white mist was rapidly spreading towards the entire island. It seemed that it would not take long for the entire island to be covered with fog. Covered by islands.

"Ha ha..."

In the mist of a small alley in the slums of Taji Island, a little girl was running in a panic, looking back in horror as she ran, as if something terrifying was chasing her.

boom!

Because I didn't pay attention, I stumbled directly on a raised stone and threw myself to the ground involuntarily.

However, it seemed that there was no time to consider the severe pain coming from her body. The little girl just looked at her body in panic and breathed a long sigh of relief when she found that there was no bleeding.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps jumping on the roof behind me.

The little girl suddenly looked horrified, and then looked at the trash can next to her that was filled with all kinds of garbage and exuded a strong smell.

Without any hesitation, she rushed directly into the trash can. As she plunged into the trash can and kept moving inside, soon the garbage exuding various smells in the garbage covered her entire thin body. live.

Ta da~

It was like the feet of some kind of animal stepping on the ground, and the sound was accompanied by the sound of noses constantly twitching in search of scents.

"Ah~qiu!"

It seemed that because the smell in the trash can was so strong, the 'person' who was trying to use the smell to find the target couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row.

Katie, who was hiding in the trash can, covered her mouth with her little hands, trying desperately not to make a sound.

Da da da, follow the footsteps away.

After a while, there was no other sound around, and the little girl Katie carefully poked her head out of the trash can, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was really no one.

Only then did she have the opportunity to take out the things in her arms and take a look. It was a tattered cloth bag containing several moldy breads.

"Wait for me... I will definitely bring food back."

As if thinking of someone important, Katie kept cheering herself up.

After all, whether it was the thick fog that could barely be seen one meter away, or the terrifying scene she saw when she was looking for food, she felt bad in her heart. She wanted to return home quickly and put the food away. Bring it to your family.

The little girl Katie looked at the moldy bread in front of her and swallowed.

"With this food, everyone will be able to survive. They must eat, otherwise they will die."

Then he put the rag bag away and carefully put it into his arms.

Just when Katie climbed out of the trash can and was about to run towards home, suddenly there was a huge roar in the center of the island from the direction of the castle where King Perth, who is said to be the king of the entire island, lived.

This sound made Katie slow down. She thought it was another group of pirates from the roar of artillery fire coming from the island port before. Taji Island had encountered pirates before, but now even the most dangerous ones on the island Fighting took place in safe places. Doesn't it mean that the pirates successfully broke through the defense at the dock this time?

Thinking of the various rumors about pirates she had heard before, Katie became even more anxious. Although she did not have much treasure at home, facing murderous pirates, her family would be in danger!

At this time, Katie didn't realize at all that even if she went back and faced dangers that her family couldn't handle, what use would she have as a child?
