[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

After a preliminary agreement is reached, the big troubles can be discussed in turn.

Because each generation of kings of Simerip would go out from the main gate of the temple after being crowned to enjoy the worship of the people.So how to solve the one thousand assassins lurking at the door is the most urgent problem at present.

"If a thousand assassins are lurking in the crowd, we will be very passive in dealing with it due to the obstruction of the people." It was Beckman who spoke first. Judging by his easy pre-battle analysis, he must be among the red-haired pirates. He is often in charge of this work.

"As for the 30 troops, according to the average level of the rebel army, if there is no need to protect the people, I can call all the people on board to come over."

......

Having said that, what else can they do but keep smiling?

Looking at Beckman, who said that the 30 army was as casual as 30 scarecrows, Sha Lai really wanted to find a corner to sleep, and then press the high priest about Pengo Lie after they finished fighting.

Anyway, in their eyes, the kind of army that has undergone simple training for two or three years is probably no different from a scarecrow who stands still and lets you hit it.

However, Sha Lai's rants in her heart were different. The remaining three, after hearing Beckman's words, all showed some joy.

"It's really reassuring." Mia's clear eyes were stained with a smile, and her body lines didn't seem so tight. She relaxed a lot and smiled. If there was no crown on her head, She looks like an ordinary girl.

"So, Mr. Shanks, Karl and Barron escorted me out, and Mr. Beckman went out from the secret passage to gather his partners and met us at the east gate of the capital. How about this plan?"

This is indeed a reasonable plan for the distribution of combat power, and everyone present agreed with it.Then, because of time constraints, Beckman nodded to Shanks, exchanged a look that only the two of them could understand, and then disappeared into the secret passage.

As soon as he left, Sha Lai, who had been dazed by the side, spoke.

"Mia, what about me?" I was the only one who didn't receive a single mission, even Shalai who loved paddling very much, still raised objections when encountering this situation.It's not that she has a bad conscience, she's just afraid that if she doesn't do anything, the high priest won't tell her the information honestly later.

"Shalai, please stay here and guard this stone slab." Mia looked at Shalai with full confidence, making her lower her eyes half uncomfortably, "Since the rebels already know Part of the secret passage, it is only a matter of time to find here. This stone slab, which has been guarded by the royal family and the high priest of Simerip for generations, I will entrust you to love."

Such an important thing, just entrust it to her who has only been with her for three days. Mia, the queen, really treats her as a friend?To trust her so much...

She was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't pay attention to the things in front of her for a while, but when she was brought back to her senses by Mia's exclamation, the situation in front of her suddenly changed a lot.

Barron, who had been standing next to Mia, suddenly aimed his gun at her temple, and under the disbelieving eyes of everyone, he said slowly: "I didn't expect that the chess pieces that suddenly entered would have such a big impact on the chess game. .We were unlucky to meet you with red hair."

"However, although it is different from the plan, as long as the new queen is solved here, the high priest can only crown Princess Alisa."

Crowning Alisa?Sha Lai's eyes flickered, it seemed that the relationship between the little princess and the rebel army was not as simple as an alliance.The royal family is really the most troublesome family in the world. If possible, she doesn't want to get involved in anything related to them.

However, things in the world tend to develop in the direction you hate the most.

Seeing Alisa and Miles climbing up through the small opening called the emergency exit, Shalai felt a dull pain in her head.She was sure that when she went down with a knife, a normal person would not be able to regain consciousness within a day. The two of them can climb up like normal people now. It must be that the rebel army came to help again and provided them with refreshment medicine .In other words, it is estimated that there are many rebels ambushing under there now.

"ta-ta-"

As if to make things worse, the sound of uniform footsteps came from another secret passage. It is estimated that in two or three minutes, this secret passage will be blocked by the rebels, although every soldier in these rebels Not their opponents, but it still adds up to some trouble.Most importantly, Mia is still in their hands.

However, Mia, whom Shalai was worried about, seems to be in good condition now.After the sudden turn of the situation, a shocked expression just flashed across her face, and then she gradually regained her composure.However, it can be seen from her pale face that the queen, who was betrayed by her closest relatives, is far from being so calm in her heart.

"Alyssa, why did you do this?" Looking at her cousin standing in front of her, staring at her with resentment, Mia, who had always been indestructible, showed a trace of fatigue, "If you hate me, Then come at me and don't drag innocent people into it."

"Ha, what a kind queen, she still remembers the common people at this time. It's a pity that I have already seen through you, a false woman." Alyssa was almost standing face to face with Mia, she was close Looking at the clear eyes that reflected his figure, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "If you really think about the people so much, why did you take me to hide in the temple at the beginning, and didn't come out of it until the navy was willing to cooperate a year later? come out!"

"If you really love this country so much, you should have stayed in the palace and fought the rebels to the death!"

The girl's voice, which was originally clear and sweet, became sharp and compelling because of Alisa's excitement.The word 'death' that was yelled out at the end contained a lot of unwillingness, and echoed for a long time in the small secret room.

"I have thought about what you said." After hearing Alisa's roar, Mia's eyes softened, "But as I told you, Alisa, we must live well and revitalize -"

"Enough!" Alisa clenched her hands hanging by her side into fists. She took a deep breath, and after she calmed down, she regained her composure. "I'm tired of hearing your clichés. Zhenxing West Mirip, what are you going to do? By colluding with pirates?"

"Your way of acting with compassion is no longer applicable in this sea and this country. After I take over the country, I will unite with the navy and strictly crack down on all pirates who land in this country. Anyway, their treasures are Unclean loot, just happened to be taken over by us."

Although what you said is basically the truth, is it really okay to say that in front of the pirates?

Looking at Alisa who talked about her future plans for the country in a superior tone, Sha Lai felt that she was actually an idealist just like her cousin.Let's not talk about whether the navy will just cooperate with them in this way, but it will. The manpower and material resources needed to fight the pirates may not be able to earn back from their treasures.

Most of the outlaws like them who live each day as if it's their last don't have the habit of saving.All they think about is how to enjoy the present moment better.

But Mia should care more about the former than whether it's worth it or not.

"...cooperate with the Navy" Mia repeated these words in a low voice, and then the tenderness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by the majesty of the king of a country, "Alyssa, are you going to make Simerip a Is it a member of the world government?"

"So what!" Alisa, who was scared by Mia's sudden change of aura, took a step back. At this time, in order to cover up her gaffe, she pulled out the pistol/gun on her waist and slammed into Mia. The forehead made Mia, who was already under the control of Barron's sex, tilt her head in discomfort.

"I know it all. My father, the king, was discussing this matter with the world government back then. It was discovered by my uncle. In order to protect the glory of your so-called Simerip, my uncle killed him because he was in poor health. His father announced that he had ascended the throne himself after he died of illness."

"The glory of the royal family is just an excuse for your greed for power! After I take over the throne, I will definitely complete what my father left unfinished—"

"Alyssa!" Mia, who was pointed at by two guns, interrupted her, "Do you really believe these things in your heart? Do you believe that my father is the one who will attack his brother? Do you believe that?" Uncle, would he be willing to dedicate this beloved country to the world government?"

"Queen Mia, what you said is wrong." Miles, who had been watching a show since she came in, said leisurely at this time, easily breaking the atmosphere created by her series of rhetorical questions, "The world government is just inviting your country Joining a powerful alliance, how can you use the word 'offer'?"

"The royal family of Simerip is the only king in this country. This system has been passed down for thousands of years. Princess Alyssa, do you want to see her destroyed by your hands?" Interrupted, and asked softly from a distance that was not too far away.

"That's right, I want to destroy this rotten system." Alisa didn't look at Carl, she stared at Mia in front of her, and said word by word with an inexplicable pleasure,

"In this sea where heroes are rising, if we don't find a side to protect us, this country that hides secrets can't survive at all."

"Those thousand assassins have already mixed into the crowd at this time, ready to take hostages at any time. Even if the red hair and the high priest have the ability to recognize people's hearts, you can't solve them all in an instant. So, unless You don't care about the life and death of those people, I won this battle."

"Next, I will use my method to bring Simerip back to life!"

In the secret room, Alisa had just finished speaking about her wish blueprint emotionally, when a somewhat confused voice caused a crack in the complacent expression on her face.

"Although I don't quite understand why you are talking so much, but I just need to kill those one thousand assassins in an instant?"

Shanks yawned with a bored look on his face, and looked at Mia who was being held hostage, "Oh, I have to rescue you, is there nothing else? Queen Mia."

"Uh...no more." Mia was as calm as she was, and was taken aback by Shanks' words, not knowing what he meant.

"It's useless, red-haired." Barron behind her seemed to know Shanks' plan, and took up the conversation, "In order to deal with your domineering arrogance, I deliberately let the assassins disperse and ambush in the temple. On the way to the palace. Even if you are red-haired, it is impossible for your domineering to cover such a large area."

Is this an upgraded version of hostage-taking?

After listening to Barron's explanation, Xilai didn't even have the will to complain.How much do these people like taking hostages?Are you still playing tricks?

However, if you dislike it, it is undeniable that this trick really works.Looking at the silent Shanks, she bit her lip. In this situation, they really fell into complete passiveness.

Just as Sarai was spinning her brain to think about countermeasures, Shanks moved.

Or, from the current situation, they judged that he moved.

When Barron and Mia reacted, the guns in their hands had broken from the handles, and the barrels fell to the ground with a "bang".

The red-haired man who didn't know when moved to them smiled at them with a sword, and then disappeared in front of them, and disappeared with him, and Mia who was held hostage by them.

"Xialai, do you have any plans for the thousand assassins outside?"

Looking at Shanks who put Mia in front of the High Priest Karl with one hand, and then appeared in front of her almost instantly, Sara felt that the shaving she learned when she was lurking in the navy was meaningless at all. The speed is much faster than shaving.

"Not yet." Looking at Shanks with a serious face, Sara hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in her heart, "Shanks, why did you stay? Let your own pirate group take this muddy water ?”

Although after getting along these few days, she already knows that he is not the kind of pirate who likes to plunder civilians and kill innocent people indiscriminately.But he is a pirate after all, a pirate who only acts for things he is interested in, not a savior.

He has no friendship with the royal family of this country. Could it be that he is willing to help clean up this mess just for that boat of wine?

"You ask why," Shanks seemed a little distressed, and scratched the dazzling red hair with his right hand, "Because you have something important to ask the high priest."

Shanks lowered his head slightly, looked at Sha Lai who was still confused, and showed a bright and eye-catching smile that was extremely inconsistent with the current atmosphere.

"Helping my partner achieve their wish, does this still need a reason?"

...wait, when did she agree to be this guy's partner?

Shaken by Shanks' smile just now, Shalai opened her mouth after regaining consciousness, wanting to refute him, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Indeed, during the three days spent with Shanks and Beckman, although she has been complaining about this and that in her heart, but thinking about it now, if they hadn't treated her naturally and took all her complaints, Shanks He would joke with her in turn, and she would not be so casual in her words and actions.

Really, if you don't pay attention, you will put them in the category of your own people...

The last time I met such an amiable person, it should have been when I was thrown to Peng Lie, when I met the Boss.

The brown-haired young man who always had a warm smile appeared when her world was collapsing. His gentle words and his reliable figure with orange flames gave her broken heart the strength to beat again.

"Xialai, you are only 14 years old, you should go to school, play more with your peers, and stop doing missions."

"Xialai, don't be so brave, rely more on your companions, Pengo Li is your home."

"Xialai, thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to me."

......

"Xia Lai, I'm very disappointed."

Thinking of the scene where the brown-haired young man grabbed her wrist and looked at her with disappointed golden brown eyes, Sha Lai lowered her eyes, a trace of self-mockery flashed in her eyes.It's a pity that she is no longer qualified to accept their invitation.

Forget it, a person like her has long been unable to integrate into other families, and is destined to only be a passerby.

Looking up at Shanks' smiling face, Sara also smiled.

and so--

"Shanks, I will deal with the thousand assassins here, but after that, can I ask you to protect me?"

——Let her use her own way to repay this person who is still willing to give her a hand.
