One Piece's Life
Chapter 14: The Price of Peace
The girl rearranged her dress and then put away the drawing papers on the floor. I looked at the furnishings in the room. In addition to books, there were a lot of drawing papers. There was also a measuring ruler on the table. It seemed that this was something like Nami. Simply love this kind of stuff.
But if I go to sea in the future, it might be a good decision to take this girl away. Judging from the situation, she must have not been out of this house for a long time.
Seeing me looking straight at her, the girl still lowered her head and said weakly: "Well... Gray, can you look at me with that look and tell me how old you are now? Why do you feel like you are older than me?" Small look.”
"I'm really rude. I'm already 11 years old, but look at the things in your house. Do you know anything about navigation?"
"It turns out Gray-kun is 11 years old, but I'm already 14 years old, so I'm older than you."
"As for what you asked, I am now a navigator. Although I have not been to the sea very much, I fell in love with the sea when I went to sea with my father when I was a child. However, my father said that the sea is very scary. It is difficult for people who do not understand the fear of the sea to survive. Living in the sea, I want to know everything about the sea.”
Looking at her height of less than 1 meters, she answered impassionedly, even with one foot on the chair and not afraid of being exposed. I originally wanted to continue asking, but when I heard a knock on the door outside, I took the initiative to open the door. When I saw the familiar square face and poker face, I complained directly: "Where have you been?"
"Well, we are very busy members of the King's Guard. We are as free as you, but you have met Miss Mickey, right? Miss Mickey, the King has summoned Lord Gray. Sorry, Gray is coming with us."
"Tch, if the king asks me to go, I have to go and just say I'm not free."
"That Mr. Gray, when the king summons him, he will also be able to see Prince Shuze."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's go, Mickey. Let's continue talking in the future."
"No, it doesn't matter to me."
"Then I'll take the first step, Warren, you guys should follow as soon as possible."
I disappeared directly on the spot, but after I left, Mickey stayed in place. I had already sensed Xiuzi's location before, and I had to teleport several times to get there.
I appeared directly in front of the palace gate. Several guards noticed them one after another. Just as I was about to shout "enemy attack", they fell to the ground. Although I shocked these people to paralyze them, it was not life-threatening. If not treated, they would be dead in an hour. never mind.
Since the king asked me to summon him, what kind of airs are there? I get angry just thinking about it. I just want to test the level of this escort. It seems to be slightly stronger than the ordinary navy in my memory. Sooner or later something will happen to this country with this kind of defense.
After I slowly opened the door, I saw the middle-aged man sitting on a high chair not far away, who must be Xiuzi's father. There were several guards below surrounding the king and several royal family members.
On the other hand, Xiuzi was not surprised when he saw me appear. Instead, he snickered because Xiuzi understood my temper and I don't like to be ordered around.
I glanced at the few guards who were wary of me. After seeing that they were basically fighting against the 5th scum, I suddenly lost interest. I glared at the legendary king.
The middle-aged man was not afraid and ordered the burly guards around him: "Bell, tell your soldiers to stop. The young man in front of you is not here to attack. He is a friend of little Xiuzi."
"Xiao Xiuzi, why don't you introduce your new friends quickly? Please rest assured. These are the mercenaries brought by Xiao Xiuzi."
Several princes were looking at me suspiciously, but the guards had already retreated to both sides after receiving the order.
I looked at those little guys who were about my age and looked at me as if they were viewing objects. I directly picked the one wearing sunglasses. What do you want to look cool in wearing sunglasses indoors? After that guy noticed my gaze, he The person didn't pay much attention, and then fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
The atmosphere changed immediately, and a few kids started to panic. The guards also started guarding the little guys again. The middle-aged man sitting on the high chair just frowned and didn't say anything. On the contrary, there was a chaos outside the palace, and Yong Xinwang felt that he was surrounded.
But a woman who came in first walked to the man in sunglasses who was lying on the ground and said: "It's not life-threatening. The second prince just fainted. He will be fine after taking a rest. Those two guards are you, please carry the second prince down quickly." Go back and rest.”
I didn't care much about it, but the guard took a step back every time I took a step forward. Xiuzi looked on and saw that the current development was different from what he thought, and he became anxious. However, he knew that my character would not go too far, so he continued to drink the wine on the table calmly on the chair nearby.
After several royal imps were escorted out of the palace, only the king, Xiuzi, the captain of the guard, and more than 20 guards were left. The middle-aged man stood up slowly and walked down the stairs slowly, followed by the burly man holding a long sword in one hand.
The king said something incredible: "You all should step back. I want to have a good talk with this young man. Since he is Xiuzi's friend, it will not be detrimental to me. Please step back."
The burly man hesitated, and then asked the rest of the guards to escort Prince Xiuzi out slowly. Xiuzi watched and said nothing the whole time. After looking at me, he left the guards behind and strode out...
There were only three people left in the palace. The middle-aged man walked to a table nearby and waved to the captain of the guard: "You can go out too. Don't worry, I will be fine. I just want to talk to this interesting young man alone."
"Hi, I understand." He glanced at me and walked towards the door, closing the palace door casually: "All guards are guarding 10 meters away from the palace. The king summons important people and needs to have a confidential conversation. Please retreat." "Get off"
I walked a few steps, looked at the king who was quite strong, and then ate the meat on the table while the man was watching. After I ate for a while, the meat tasted very good. I looked at the man across the table and started eating again: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"I heard that Xiao Xiuzi was a Devil Fruit user. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. I'm really sorry for saying you were a mercenary before. Our country of tea will soon face the neighboring country of dolphins. The last threat is, I want to hire you as a guard against the vice-captain, please.”
"Oh, the situation has become so serious. I heard from Xiuzi that your country of tea prefers peace. How does our king want to deal with it? But you are wrong about one thing. I am just a friend of Xiuzi and the others. That’s all”
"Of course I know, but there is intelligence that the Dolphin Country has hired killers under the World Government. They can only be confirmed to be Devil Fruit users, and the number is unknown. Our country's guard force cannot deal with it. Tell us your conditions. , Only then are we willing to help our country of tea resolve this crisis."
I put down the meat on the plate, pretending to be hesitant but snickering in my heart. After a while, I pretended not to care and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you, but before that, you seem to have made a mistake. According to the information I have received, their target is not the Kingdom of Tea, but the King’s Berserion family. What does the King plan to do?”
The middle-aged man thought thoughtfully and then looked at me a few times, without doubting my words at all, and replied after a while; "So that's it. Although I expected it, but I still need your strength, young man, to say Come up with your terms.”
"As for me, there is one condition. I need a few people to go to sea with me after the incident. As for the personnel, Xiuzi, Unaun, Warren, and Mickey, these four people will go to sea with me for adventure. This condition is ours Your Majesty, can you accept it?"
The middle-aged man looked at me strangely. He didn't expect me to say this strange condition, but after thinking for a while, he calmly said: "Okay, I promise. If I can exchange four people for the peace of the country, it's worth it."
"Okay, then our deal is concluded, then I will work hard, then I will leave first, Your Majesty the King."
After Gray disappeared into the palace, only the middle-aged man was left drinking alone there...
