Silver Theorem

"This is really tragic."

"There are traces of shelling everywhere."

"Is there a war here?"

The crew talked a lot, but Shanks just said "let's go" lightly, and led a dozen crew members including Mia to the ground of MUR town.

The residents of the town were very panicked after seeing Shanks and others, and avoided them.

In Mia's impression, the town of MUR should be a very friendly place, and the pirates are always welcome, because the pirates also like it very much, and no one will plunder or destroy the town.But looking at the current posture, it is obvious that he has become an unwelcome group.

After further observation, it can be found that half of the houses in sight have been damaged to varying degrees, which are obviously man-made.There are few people on the street, and it is completely different from the prosperity and bustle of the past.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Mia asked, she felt it was necessary to conduct an investigation.

"What should I do? Didn't I say to drink?"

"what?"

Mia was taken aback by Shanks' answer.

So a group of people followed Shanks to the door of a half-destroyed bar, and Shanks just walked in regardless of the "closed" sign at the door.

"Excuse me, our shop... the red-haired captain?!"

The little boy who was originally sitting listlessly behind the bar cried out in surprise when he looked up and saw Shanks' figure.

"Oh, long time no see, so it's still the same..."

It seems that Shanks should be a regular customer of this store. He has already sat in front of the bar, and other crew members also took their seats in the store consciously.Mia looked around the store and found that a lot of dust had accumulated on the tables and chairs, and it must have been closed for a long time.

"I'm so sorry, the store is out of alcohol now..."

Accompanied by a soft female voice, a young woman with a sad face came out of the room.

"Mother……"

the little boy cried.

"What do you mean there is no alcohol, lady proprietress, isn't that what a bar in Mur town should say?"

Shanks asked while drinking the water offered by the little boy.

The female boss: "Some things happened in the town... If possible, can you please leave here immediately, there really are no supplies for you here. And we don't want to cause trouble..."

Beckman: "Oh? What happened, can you tell us, please?"

"This matter is not humane, please return here."

"Miss Boss, it's too outlandish for you to say that..." Shanks put down his water glass, "I've already told my brothers that I'm going to come over for a drink, so I'll get it no matter what."

"Even if you say so..."

That's too much to do... Mia pouted behind Shanks.

"It's the Revolutionary Army!"

The childish but angry voice of the little boy sounded.

"you……"

The female boss wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Revolutionary Army?" Shanks bent down and turned to the little boy, asking very seriously, without any pretensions of the Four Emperors.

"Those guys came here suddenly a month ago. They forced us to build a fortress in the town. If we resist them, we will use force to suppress them... Those guys are very strong, and we are no match..." The little boy said angrily Clenched his fists, but Shanks' expression didn't change.

"They robbed all the wine in the town, and all those who could work were taken to the fortress to do coolies, because the fortress itself was still an arsenal, and everyone's house became the object for them to test the power of new weapons..."

"The fort... is that what you mean?" Shanks pointed out the window, along the direction of his finger, there is a huge building that is still very conspicuous even though it is far away, and thick black clouds are hanging over the building. It should be caused by industrial waste gas.

"Yes..." The female boss finally spoke up: "The fortress is surrounded by forts, which can attack any corner of the town. Now the revolutionary army has also placed surveillance phone bugs everywhere in the town. Once the residents are found to resist will attack without hesitation..."

"Does the Navy care about this?"

It was Jessop who spoke.

"Although the navy has come, but... the revolutionary army's firepower is too strong, and the navy can't do anything to them. And as you can see, the fortress was set up in the northwest corner of the town. They used the whole town as a shield. Once a big battle broke out, We are always the ones who get hurt. So, now the navy has basically given up here..."

Lackey ate the last bite of meat: "Is there any point in building a fortress in this town?"

"I'm afraid it is to attack a country in the interior..." Mia said: "If you continue to go inland from MUR town, you will pass through a grassland and there will be a country that has joined the World Government Covenant. Build a fort near the coast There is nothing wrong with it. The navy may not necessarily give up, but it may be preparing to launch an attack from the opposite direction, that is, the inland, but I don’t know how long it will be..."

"Then there's no need to build a fortress in the town~"

"So this is what makes them hateful~" Mia shook her finger: "Maybe they took a fancy to the rich resources of MUR Town, huh... Is this what the revolutionary army did to 'liberate the people from the dire straits'?"

"The revolutionary army has had enough for us...so, please leave, our town can't take any more blows..." the female boss pleaded with a teary expression.

"We can't leave it alone, can we, boss?" Mia said with a sense of justice.

But Shanks said: "Then, is there really no wine at all..."

Mia was speechless.

The little boy looked at Shanks, said "wait a minute", climbed up the bar along the bar chair, jumped into the back of the bar, rummaged through the box for a while, and walked away with a small wine bottle only the size of a palm In front of Shanks: "That's all, we managed to hide it secretly..."

"What, isn't there more?" Shanks grabbed the bottle in a nonchalant manner.

"Hey!" Mia couldn't help it: "What are you doing? Normally you wouldn't take it!"

"Why?" Shanks asked back: "We are pirates, what's wrong with taking what we want?"

One sentence was so calm and breezy that Mia had nothing to say.

"Then, the wine is here for you, will you help us defeat the revolutionary army!? Then!?" The little boy cried out in a tearful voice.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The female boss grabbed the overly excited son and looked around vigilantly.

"What are you talking about, you want to send us away with this little wine?" Shanks said, pinning the wine on his waist, beckoned to his subordinates, and walked out the door as if nothing happened.

"Bastard!! Liar!! What Four Emperors?! Pirates are big bastards!!..."

The sound of the little boy cursing and crying came from behind, Mia did not look back, but followed Shanks out of the bar.

"You're the red-haired Shanks, right?"

Hearing these words just after she came out, Mia looked around and saw 3 men in full armor standing in the middle of the road with a look of arrogance on their faces.

"Oh, I am." Shanks replied.

Those three people showed no signs of fear at all, instead they laughed treacherously.

Hey, hey... What's the situation, are those three people fools... Mia thought to herself.

"Well, we are the Revolutionary Army," one of them said, "We are here to advise you to leave the affairs of this town alone, but... this may be redundant, it is impossible for someone as smart as you not to know about our affairs." It’s amazing, so I shouldn’t be so ignorant, hehe..."

Ahh~ How dare you speak so boldly because of your excellent weapons and equipment... Mia is convinced.

At this time, she noticed that one of the three revolutionary soldiers was looking up and down at her with a sad face. She had seen this kind of person a lot, and she didn't bother to care about it.Suddenly, a black cloak floated in front of Mia, and Shanks' tall figure completely blocked Mia from the sight of a wretched revolutionary army.

This must be a coincidence... Mia thought, she really didn't think Shanks would be so careful.

"Are you the ones who messed up my beloved town?" Shanks said sternly to the revolutionary army.

"So what? You don't really intend to fight us, do you?" The other party was obviously frightened by Shanks' aura, but he still pretended to be calm: "Let me tell you clearly, if we fight, neither side will It will be easier... and, heh heh, we have hostages here, so I advise you to go where you came from and go back to where you are~"

Hostage... Can you be more shameless... The corners of Mia's mouth began to twitch.

"Perhaps this is the real reason why the residents dare not resist them..." Beckman calmly lit a cigarette.

"If you don't want the residents of this town to lose their beloved 'Lord Mayor', you should give up as soon as possible!"

"Ah~ so it's the mayor~" Shanks suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't see him in the store just now."

It seems that the bar is run by the mayor's family...

"It's them!! It's them who took Dad away!"

The little boy in the bar suddenly rushed out and yelled at the revolutionary army. It seemed that his mother failed to stop him...

"They wanted to get the top-secret brewing formula passed down from generation to generation in our town from Dad. We swore that we would never share it with others. Dad refused them, so... they were taken away...Damn it!"

Said, went straight to the revolutionary army.

Shanks stretched out his hand and picked him up: "Oh~ there is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, no wonder only the town of MUR can make such delicious wine..."

"Hey! That's not the problem, is it!? Have you listened to people?" The revolutionary army was anxious.

Want to make a profit selling your secret recipe?Owning a land and wanting to make a fortune, this dream is so well fulfilled... Mia pondered to herself.

"Ah... I'm listening, don't you mean that if we meddle in the affairs of this town, the life of the mayor will be in danger, right... It's you who didn't figure it out, we didn't say we wanted to help people here What people do, and no one ever asked us to...right?" Shanks said, glancing at the fussy boy in his hand.

If the revolutionary army knew that the little boy had asked Shanks, the bar would be more than "half destroyed".

"You have a conscience..." Mia whispered behind Shanks.

"Anyway, I've already said what needs to be said, so you can do it for yourself!" After saying this, the three revolutionary soldiers strode away...

Mia shook her head: "I really can't even get angry... These people are completely brain-dead~"

Shanks put down the boy: "This is not the style of a dragon, the guy I know is not such a man..."

"The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds~" Mia said helplessly.

Beckman: "What should we do, shall we go?"

Shanks: "No, I'll leave as soon as I'm asked. It's not in my character."

Beckman: "... Hehe, I think so too..."

Mia was waiting for Shanks' words: "Boss, let me investigate."

"Wait a minute..." The female boss also came out of the store: "I said it just now, this town is full of their eyes and ears..."

"I don't care about those guys, I'm going to investigate their fortress." Mia said calmly: "In the northwest corner of the town... there is a river leading to the sea..."

"You know the terrain of the town very well... Do you want to take the waterway, but the waterway is also within their surveillance range..."

"It's okay, they can't find mine..." Mia smiled confidently.

"I'll go to the port and prepare a boat for you. It will take a lot of time to go by sea."

As Beckman said, since the era of the great pirates, the town of MUR has become more and more prosperous under the patronage of pirates. Now the town has expanded by more than 10 times than before, which is completely comparable to the size of the city, but because everyone calls it I am used to "MUR Town", so this title has been retained.

"No need, I can just swim over." Mia said.

"That's up to you." Shanks said, this is not the first time Mia went out to investigate after she came to the red-haired group, Shanks knew her strength: "Then let's go back to the boat first, it's okay to stay here significance."

After speaking, Shanks led his men towards the port.Mia quietly looked back at the mother and son in the bar, the boy still looked angry, it seems that Shanks was thoroughly hated...

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

Twenty minutes later, Mia jumped onto the flagship deck from the sea.

"It's so fast!" Beckman admired sincerely: "Even if the Clippers have a favorable wind from here to the northwest coast of the town, it will take at least an hour to go back and forth. How did you do it?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you..." Mia shook her wet hair, "I'm a mermaid."

"So you're a mermaid~" Shanks said in a very flat tone, "Then it makes sense, haha."

Mia took out a bamboo tube, pulled out a drawing from it and spread it out in front of everyone: "This is the structural drawing of the fortress."

"It's amazing, to get it in such a short time..." Jessop said.

"According to the results of my investigation, this fortress is indeed a bit tricky." Mia pointed to the structural diagram and said seriously: "The outer wall is made of thick steel splints that are difficult for ordinary shells to penetrate, and it is equipped with movable turrets. As the proprietress said, The range of fire can radiate to the entire town, and our ship is also within its range, and their heavy cannons are so powerful that they are difficult to deal with... It seems that this is why those guys are arrogant."

"Isn't it almost impossible to attack from the outside..." Beckman said, tapping the center of the fortress on the map with a pipe: "It can only be destroyed from the inside."

"Well, I also have the same opinion..." Seeing that Shanks didn't respond, Mia continued, "In addition, we need to make some deployments, because there are small fortresses around the fortress..."

"Hey, wait a minute..." Shanks' voice came: "I haven't said I want to fight..."

"You still pay it!..." Mia glared at him.

At this moment, a burst of sharp noise resounded over the town, and everyone couldn't help covering their ears, and then...

"Hey Hey hey!!"

Voices came from the town's tweeters:

"Cough cough... What's wrong with this microphone... Hey, hey?... That—the red hair of the four emperors, is the red hair of the four emperors there?"

What the hell is this... Mia thought depressingly.

"Ah, I'm here~"

"He can't hear you answering here!"

Mia vented her depression on Shanks.

The horn continued to sound: "Oh, it should be still there, then you can hear what I said... I am the captain of the Nth Division of the Great Revolutionary Army [BI——], huh? Cough cough... My name is [BI——] BI——], what are you doing, this broken microphone! I heard my name clearly, [BI——]..."

When this guy was still fighting with the microphone, Mia couldn't help thinking, there are really bad people in this world who can even get HX...

In the end, this Mr. [BI] seemed to give up: "Ahem, in short... the red hair of the Four Emperors, you are limited to come to our great fortress before 3 o'clock this afternoon, and you can bring as many people as you like, Jie Jiejie...otherwise...Mr. Mayor doesn't know what will happen to us~~jiejiejie~~"

Mia: "What does this mean..."

Jessop: "It's not like inviting us to visit their fortress..."

Beckman: "Well~ But in this way, it will be very convenient to enter the inside of the fort..."

Mia: "It doesn't matter how many people you bring... Where did these guys get their confidence?"

Beckman glanced at Shanks: "Will you go?"

Shanks: "Of course, I invited you 'sincerely'~"

Would Shanks have really left the town of MUR alone if it hadn't been for Mr. [BI——]'s call?Mia has no way of knowing.

"Then let's go here, it's getting late, it's not good to keep people waiting...Beckman, you stay and take care of the fleet." Shanks said.

Beckman nodded.

Mia was about to disembark with everyone, but was stopped by Shanks:

"You stay too."

"Eh!?"

TOBEOR NOT TOBE...
