"Calm down, Captain Dalton of the Drum Kingdom! I'm not here to fight you."

Nami slowly adjusted the cloak behind her. It was obvious that Nami was not interested in competing with Dalton in front of her. Not only did it conflict with the original plan, but she also really looked down upon his animal-type ability that relied purely on brute force. , it is true that the animal type is the fruit with the highest bonus to physical skills, but as an ability, this type is too narrow in general use. Unless it is a fantasy beast type, there is only one type of animal ability. Even the ancient species does not have much additional uses. The constructive uses that can be developed are basically useless except for combat-related aspects. .

Dalton himself was fully prepared to fight, but after hearing Nami's words, he subconsciously restrained his hands and feet. This was not because he was afraid of the enemy in front of him, but because he knew that the ordinary militiamen around him would never be able to withstand the attacks of Devil Fruit abilities. If the other party did not intend to fight, it was worth communicating with them.

"What do you want? This country has just been plundered by a pirate group, and now there is no extra supplies for you. If you want to take it by force, you are planning to let the citizens die of cold and starvation in this snowy season. , we have the only way to fight!"

After cautiously taking a look at the pirate ship behind him, and making sure that the pirates above had no intention of attacking the coast, Dalton turned his gaze back again. His combat intuition could tell him how dangerous the orange-haired woman in front of him was. , if the pirates on the ship do not intend to fight, it is probably because they believe that the person in front of them can destroy everyone.

"Don't worry, we have no intention of plundering here. Besides, we are not pirates. We only hang the pirate flag to hide it from others."

Taking out the edict of succession written by Valpo half an hour ago, Nami also looked at Dalton in front of her seriously: "Actually, our purpose here is to convey some bad news to you. That is, your king, His Majesty Valpo, unfortunately passed away from illness some time ago. Before he died, he hoped that we could help him send this edict and the new heir he appointed back to this country."

It has to be said that Nami's purpose of coming really stunned the militiamen, including Dalton. After all, no matter how cruel and ruthless Valpo is, he is the king of this country after all. In short Even if the other party really comes back, if there is no one to take the lead in resistance, then these so-called militiamen will probably just endure and continue to obey their rule. Not to mention, as a former guard captain, Dalton, as a former guard captain, undoubtedly felt the most intense feeling of confusion when he was suddenly told that the other person was dead when he hated him to the core.

"...That...that tyrant is no longer our king! We...we are free..."

After the scene was still for a few seconds, a militiaman standing behind Dalton boldly shouted out, but from the intermittent tone and the involuntary softness of the second half of the sentence, it was not difficult to tell that he had no intention at all. Too determined to resist.

"What are these words? No matter how many wrongs His Majesty Valpo has done before, he is the orthodox king of the Drum Kingdom after all! Moreover, when he was seriously ill, he cried and repented for his past actions, and even thought that his The body is not worthy of returning to the Drum Kingdom. Is this behavior not enough to make you people obey his final edict?"

Frowning slightly, Nami's expression and tone also had a hint of sternness. As a superior, her aura was obviously not something that this group of militiamen who had never seen the world could resist. Even Dalton, the leader, could not resist it. What's so good, as the former captain of the guard, Dalton had already started to assist the king when the previous king of the Drum Kingdom was in power. It can be said that he also watched Valpo grow up step by step. Although the opponent grew crooked and became A tyrant, but the habit of being a king and a minister for many years still makes it difficult for him to change at this moment.

What's more, Nami's words about Valpo being seriously ill and even crying, involuntarily evoked a little compassion in the hearts of Dalton and these militiamen. After all, they were not specialized soldiers and committed such a crime. It is not surprising that the mistake of being easily grasped the mentality.

"...Forget it...Valpo...give me your Majesty's edict."

After a long time, Dalton let out a long sigh and then spoke. It is not difficult to tell from his title that the guard captain has put down his defense. With a slight smile, Nami also solemnly handed over the edict in her hand, took it and opened it. Dalton glanced at it roughly, as As someone who had been assisting Valpo for a long time, he naturally knew his handwriting, and the writing on it was also very concise. It was probably about passing the throne to a young man named Kosha. However, for Dalton, who was already preconceived, At this time, I naturally came up with the idea that Valbo was unable to hold a pen for too long due to his serious illness, so the writing could only be concise.

On the swan boat, everyone undoubtedly heard the conversation between Nami and Dalton, and everyone had different reactions.

Robin had a little helplessness and a smile on her face. She was helpless because she knew very well that Dalton and the others had been misled by Nami. Yes, Valpo did cry loudly, and it was true that the body could not be returned. The Kingdom of the Magnetic Drum, after all, the traces of murder on its body are too obvious. However, its original meaning must be completely different from Nami's rhetoric after processing and beautifying it. The smile was because Robin knew that there was no need to use force anymore. This behavior of avoiding killing was undoubtedly worthy of Robin's approval.

As for MR1 and a group of other senior agents, they were completely impressed and satisfied. After all, Nami had said before that assassination missions were no longer needed, but could the other party make Baroque Works really passable without assassinations? Better, this is a question that needs to be verified. And now, judging from his ability to persuade Dalton with his verbal skills, this promise has undoubtedly been guaranteed with sufficient weight.

As for Weiwei and Kosha, there is no doubt that they are complicated and bitter at the same time. The reason is also very simple. From this conversation, they have more or less glimpsed the ability of the second-generation president of the Baroque Working Society. The opponent's combat effectiveness is still unknown, but his communication skills are. How can an enemy who is already so skilled and flawless resist?

"Since he is the heir appointed by His Majesty Valpo, please trouble him to come down... However, the Drum Kingdom is currently in short supply of supplies, so I am afraid that it will not be able to provide a decent enthronement gift..."

Sighing tiredly, Dalton casually returned the edict to Nami, and smiled. Nami obviously would not make such a major mistake of being extravagant and wasteful when she first arrived, but casually said to Robin on the swan boat. He spoke: "Miss Sunday, are all the supplies and ships I ordered ready?"

"Hi~ When we arrive, the ten ships carrying supplies should have already started sailing, and they will arrive tomorrow at most. Food, farm tools, quilts, cotton clothes, etc. are all prepared according to your wishes."

Naturally giving the most professional smile, Robin's answer was undoubtedly one of Nami's previous arrangements. After all, for Baroque Co., Ltd., which has abundant financial resources, it is not difficult to obtain supplies. However, for the Drum Kingdom, which has just experienced the robbery of the Blackbeard Pirates, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

"Then, it's your turn now, the new king of the Drum Kingdom."

Looking back at Kosha beside Vivi, Robin's tone also softened, as if he were dealing with a butterfly that had become trapped in a spider's web.

"Stop resisting in vain. There are indeed some forces in this world that cannot be resisted."

"No matter how hard you try, it will still be the same..."

The Island of the Ancients is an island located in the first half of the Great Line. The name comes from the fact that the ecological environment of this island has still maintained the environment of the dinosaur age. It can be regarded as an island that has not made any progress for tens of millions of years. , so it is called Taikoo.

But at the same time, this island also has another name, and that is 'Little Garden Island'. The origin of this name is because all kinds of creatures living on this island, whether they are dinosaurs or other giant beasts, are It is a very large and extraordinary creature, so it looks like a giant's small garden.

Of course, if a century ago, the extended meaning of this title was just symbolic, then in this century, the so-called "Giant's Little Garden" has undoubtedly become worthy of its name, because a hundred years ago, there really was Giants came to the island, and...two of them.

From the distant giant country Elbaf, Tori, known as the Blue Ghost, and Broki, known as the Red Ghost, came here to resolve a matter they had disputed through a duel. However, perhaps because the two were equally matched in strength, the battle between the two lasted for a hundred years. Even when both of them had forgotten the reason for the battle, they still could not come up with an effective victory. burden.

That island should not be an obstacle to that group of people. After all, judging from the personalities of the Straw Hat Pirates and the two giant warriors, the probability of a conflict between the group of people is quite low. It is more likely that they will have a good time while drinking. After a while, and then continue to travel until you come to this drum kingdom.

Standing in front of the navigation chart, Nami carefully considered the specific whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates. Although for her, the events in Alabasta had been arranged, but...if the opponent was Luffy's group, she always felt that Not enough.

"Doctor 20 has been handed over to the new king. According to the development scale we assigned him, what we need to do now is to restore the medical system of the entire Drum Kingdom as soon as possible. According to his intelligence, it should not be difficult to do it."

Shi Ran walked in from the door, and Robin casually hung his cowboy hat with a few snowflakes on the hanger nearby. This was no other place, but the palace of the Drum Kingdom, because Kosha needs to return to the palace as the new king, so this time Dalton personally negotiated with Dr. Kuleha who lived in the palace, and the latter did not mind handing over the palace this time, but the condition was that the palace must There must be a place for the doctor and her, and the new king Kosa, who is not bad in nature, naturally does not mind this.

Originally, Nami didn't need to know such a trivial matter, but as far as Nami was concerned, the witch doctor named Dr. Kureha had a very special apprentice, and that was a world-famous witch doctor. The only special reindeer, a reindeer that ate the Human Fruit and gained human intelligence, was named Tony Tony Chopper. In other words, the Straw Hat Pirates are almost the appointed ship's doctor, so it is not surprising that she secretly pays attention to and understands these things.

"Well~ the new king is very smart, but I heard that Doctor 20 obeyed the request of the witch unconditionally and made him the leader to rebuild the medical discipline of the Drum Kingdom. Is this true?"

Without looking away from the navigation chart, Nami just asked seemingly casually. Robin had obviously expected that she would ask this question. After all, the so-called 'Doctors 20' were none other than the 20 dedicated doctors carefully selected by the former King Valpo. They were considered to have the best medical skills in the entire Drum Kingdom. of 20 doctors. It is indeed strange that such an elite group of doctors would obey a seemingly low-status female doctor without hesitation.

"It's true. The witch doctor named Dr. Kuleha is the only private doctor left after His Majesty Valpo's misdeeds. Both his medical skills and prestige are extremely respected in the entire country, so there is nothing wrong with him being the leader. , and he also has a very cute disciple."

Obviously, Robin had already met Chopper during the negotiation with Kuleha, and just like the original work, this dark-skinned lady who looks cold but actually likes furry and cute things in her heart likes Chopper very much, so she jointly treats her master Kuleha didn't have too many difficulties. After all, Nami's current main plan was to revive the medical system of the Drum Kingdom as soon as possible. Under this general premise, she didn't mind ignoring other small details.

"Then, according to the predetermined plan, arrange for Mr3, Mr5 and their partners to be stationed here, and the rest, including Princess Weiwei, will return to Alabasta. We have other work to do."

After taking one last look at the navigation chart and estimating the itinerary of Luffy and his party, Nami turned around and prepared to leave. This made Robin raise his eyebrows slightly. Although he picked up his cowboy hat and followed Nami, the dark-skinned lady still couldn't help but asked: "What's going on? I always feel that you seem to be waiting. Is it my imagination that I look like someone else?"

"Ha~ Why bother? Anyway, if it is really valuable, the results will come naturally."

Slightly stroking her temples, Nami had no intention of answering the question immediately. She just turned around and blinked at Robin behind her: "So, just treat it as a surprise. It won't work if you don't wait properly."

If Nami is waiting for a surprise, then Usopp and others on the Little Garden Island are completely surprised but not happy. The reason is quite simple. If you are an ordinary person with little fighting ability , when you are suddenly told by the captain that you are going to explore an ancient island, and this island is full of giant beasts that can be seen with the naked eye, the trembling feeling in your heart must be the same as Usopp's. .

"No~ want~ ah~~!"

Usopp, who was holding Luffy's calf, had snot and tears on his face, and his long-nosed tone had a cotton-wool fluttering feel: "Even if you want to explore somewhere, this kind of place is really too scary~ ~!"

In the sky, a huge pterosaur seemed to hear the noise below, and then let out a long scream, and in its huge paws, a leopard was still struggling to death. , obviously, for these super predators in the dinosaur era, the later mammals, no matter what kind of beasts they were, were just delicious meals in their claws. Yes~ this naturally includes normal humans who are also mammals. .

"Wow~!! So amazing~!! That big bird can actually use leopards as food!"

However, since it is said above that fear is a normal human reaction, then of course, for abnormal humans, what such a picture can inspire is of course not fear, but complete excitement. For example, Luffy, who was holding his calves by Usopp but still stood on the edge of the boat with a golden light in his eyes. Although the animals he had seen when he was a child could basically write an encyclopedia of the animal kingdom, these dinosaurs are really Seeing him for the first time, feeling excited is undoubtedly his instinct as a troublemaker.

"Indeed, the animals on this island are really rare."

Zoro, who was stroking his chin, also had an expression of interest. Although in most cases this green algae head was indifferent to many things, he still had some occasional vanity, for example, letting some people who looked powerful Or the sense of accomplishment of defeating a powerful enemy when something falls under your own knife.

"Really, I just said that we need a locked refrigerator. Hey, Lumao, the ingredients in the refrigerator just happened to be out. You seem to be very idle. Go and get some meat."

After taking every precaution, he still found that the food in the refrigerator was almost bottomed out. Sanji, who was pressing his forehead, didn't even think about kicking Luffy. After all, if this was a contest between a chef and a food thief, Sanji would undoubtedly be completely defeated. At this time, the only option is to be unlucky enough to admit defeat and collect ingredients to make up for the loss.

"Ah? Is this the attitude of asking for help from others? Curly eyebrows?!"

"Tch~ I think you don't dare to go. That weak swordsman lady can just stay on the boat. I can go by myself~"

"Damn it! I can definitely get more food than you can!"
