One Piece: King of the World

Chapter 9 The luxury of Celestial Dragons! (Two more)

The palace where Claudius lives is also very good in the abode of God, especially during this period of time, Claudius was reborn, and his taste has also been significantly improved. At this time, he is no longer what he used to be. Celestial Dragons that waste wood.

On a table carved from the top grade mahogany, there is a carved dragon incense burner that looks very stylish, and a pillar of incense that is slowly burning is inserted into the incense burner.

Just this incense filled the whole hall with a faint fragrance, refreshing and calming people’s irritable emotions.

This incense alone can burn a whole day, and this incense is worth 20 million Baileys!

At the same time, not far from the incense burner, there is also a set of tea sets. This tea set looks simple, but the tea steeped in it is quite extravagant. It was specially picked from the flower country. The best tender tea is brewed, and after a sip, the lips and teeth leave a fragrance. Even if it is placed on the side of the incense, you can smell the faint tea fragrance.

And beside this case, there is a rattan-wood woven rocking chair with a velvet cushion on the rocking chair. At this time, the guy Claudius is lying halfway on the rocking chair, holding a book in his hand that looks very Books with history.

This book in Claudius’s hands is a very precious isolated book, which records a lot of unknown historical knowledge. Even if it is placed on Ohara Island, which has the name of the tree of omniscience and the holy archeological site, it can be regarded as a treasure.

However, Claudius didn’t pay attention to the collection of isolated books at all. When he saw interesting places, he would fold the corners of a page. It was regarded as a record, because he didn’t have a pen in his hand, or maybe even more. Write and paint on this treasure.

If an old scholar here sees Claudius’s behavior, he might vomit blood and die of anger.

It seems that the interest has faded. Claudius shook his head somewhat boringly, and sighed softly, “Oh, after all, it is still on the surface, with a little connotation missing. It seems that there is a history of this world, which is indeed controlled by the World government. It’s very strict, even if I’m Celestial Dragons, I can’t easily explore the depths…”

While talking, Claudius threw the precious original copy on the table, then picked up the tea cup that smelled of tea, and took a sip to his mouth.

Originally, Claudius thought he was also a Celestial Dragons, so after studying the history of these eight hundred years ago, to understand the biggest mystery in the pirate world, shouldn’t it be a big problem?

It turned out that he was thinking too simple. In the past month or so, he has been constantly enriching himself. In the first half of the day, he lays a foundation based on the things left by Zephyr Admiral, and in the second half of the day, he will ponder his Devil Fruit ability. Time is all spent reading these books.

But in the end, there was still nothing about the mystery. As expected, Celestial Dragons, the lowest rank like him, couldn’t touch the story eight hundred years ago.

That’s right. At this time, it has been more than a month since Claudius was rescued from New World by Zephyr and others. As Claudius expected, when Huo Minggu announced that Claudius had given up to be Donquixote. After the head of the family, he never encountered any troubles.

Not only that, in the past month or so, the servants around Claudius have disappeared by more than half. Of course, don’t get me wrong, it’s not Claudius who settled after the autumn. For these inexplicable disappearance, it is almost impossible to die. For those who have lost, Claudius also has some guesses in his mind.

Thinking of these guys, they should have confiscated the benefits of Lancelot. Now that Lancelot saw that Claudius was no longer threatened, he began to kill?

This matter is also easy to understand. Lancelot didn’t want to kill Claudius. It can even be said that he didn’t want to kill Claudius at all. Claudius had to be dealt with for the family’s major event.

Now that Claudius himself gave up those things he couldn’t covet in the first place, naturally there was no threat to Lancelot. Of course, Lancelot would not be irritated with a teenage boy. .

Even in the past month or so, Lancelot seemed to be making up for the things he had done with Claudius before. He sent some good things over in three days. After hearing that Claudius seemed to be exercising, he even sent someone specifically. Came to ask Claudius if he wanted to help him find a great Instructor or something.

Of course, Claudius didn’t ask him to help either, but he accepted all the good things Lancelot sent, not bad, not for nothing, such as the burning incense.

Claudius had no intention of taking on debts for his stupid ghost predecessor, so he had nothing to dislike Lancelot. On the contrary, he still received a lot of benefits from others. On the contrary, the senses are quite good.

Through more than a month of observation and combining the past events in his memory, his evaluation of Lancelot is still quite positive.

This Donquixote family, among the nineteen Celestial Dragons families of Mariejois, can be regarded as a rather weird family. Although the ethnic group is also very domineering, but there are a lot of smart people, like Lancelot, just Not so fierce and brutal Celestial Dragons, Claudius even heard that he would grant some slaves to their freedom from time to time.

If there is no other way, Lancelot shouldn’t be a killer to his predecessor. What’s more, his predecessor is really not a good thing, people hate dogs…

All in all, now Claudius has no negative views or thoughts on Lancelot, and Lancelot sees that Claudius is no longer a threat, and has no intention of killing him. Instead, he has begun to compensate Claudius. In this way, two The contradictions between people, and the various conspiracies before Mariejois, disappeared with those informed servants, and became a past buried in the dust of history. Claudius did not have the idea of ​​pursuing them. Just like this is the best thing for Claudius.

Putting down the tea cup, Claudius slowly got up from the rocking chair, and then swayed the rattle on the side, making a crisp jingle.

Not long after the voice fell, a beautiful sister with a delicate face and a good figure in a black and white maid costume walked in, lowered her head very respectfully, and asked softly: “Saint Claudius, please order.”

“Well, is Dover not here today?” Claudius smiled and asked.

Dover, naturally, refers to his big cousin Doflamingo. This guy has basically run to his Claudius house recently, pulling Claudius out to fool around.

However, Claudius used to be unwell before and dismissed him for reasons such as not recovering well.

There will be such a question today, but it is a bit strange, this guy should have come to harass himself normally, why didn’t he come today?

“No, Sage Doflamingo didn’t come today, I heard that it was an awkward affair with Old Sage Huo Ming.” The maid responded quickly.

“Really? Well, it’s normal.” Claudius nodded and said.

Doflamingo is in their house and belongs to the only alien. His father Huo Minggu is a silly, sweet, kind person, and rarely does that kind of messy things. The same is true for his mother. His brother Rosinante is simply a model of aristocracy. ‘, it’s not an exaggeration to call him a’Mother’s Mother’.

On the contrary, Doflamingo has a very cruel and violent character. He always needs to do something extraordinary. Today, he caught two slaves and threw them in the Colosseum to watch them fight with wild beasts. They were torn apart and shattered. Change the law to torture other guys, even the servants next to him will die several times every month. Huo Minggu is silly and sweet, and of course he won’t let Doflamingo make such a fool.

So while the relationship between the father and son looks very good, they have indeed had grievances a long time ago.

No wonder Doflamingo always likes to run to him. After all, in Doflamingo’s impression, his cousin, Claudius, is not a good thing. It smells like Doflamingo!

Seeing that Claudius seemed to be in a good mood today, the maid seemed to be a little bolder, and suddenly said softly, “Your Highness, won’t you go for a walk today?”

Claudius looked at the maid strangely when he heard the words. The maid seemed to be surprised at her boldness and even dared to interfere with Celestial Dragons?

It is strange to say that she was after the former butler of Saint Claudius was shot and killed by Saint Claudius in the harbor more than a month ago, and the Chief of Internal Affairs sent the chief butler to serve Saint Claudius again.

Before coming, she was frightened. She had long heard that the claudius of the Donquixote family was tyrannical, isn’t it? As soon as she came back from the outside, she inexplicably shot and killed the old butler who had been with him for many years. Now it is her turn to serve such a ‘saint’. It would be strange if she could feel safe in her heart.

However, with the contact for more than a month, her sense of Claudius has changed drastically. None of the previous rumors seem to have been fulfilled in Claudius. It is not tyrannical, and it does not feel so wasteful. On the contrary, among the many Celestial Dragons, he seems to be the kind who speaks very well. Between his words and demeanor, he does not have the feeling of treating them as inferior from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps it is precisely because Claudius’s performance has been so relaxing in the past month or so that she inexplicably said something like this to Claudius today. As soon as she finishes saying it, she regrets it, for fear of herself. Was shot and killed in this deep palace.

The reason why Claudius feels strange is not that he felt that the maid offended him, but that he was surprised that there was finally a “person” beside him. Don’t look at the countless servants around Claudius, but to say that he was really caught Claudius is regarded as a’human’, and there really is no one. They always feel that they are all different from their own creatures. They have been trained so well. Without their own thinking and will, they are no different from robots, no matter how deep their hearts are. What is the situation? In short, they at least maintained this state in front of themselves.

It’s no wonder that so many Celestial Dragons have tyrannical temperaments, and they are surrounded by such ‘robots’. Over time, they naturally feel that they are superior to all beings.

Seeing the maid making a big mistake, Claudius suddenly laughed and said, “Hehehe, Nia, don’t be so scared. I don’t want to eat people. Should I go for a walk?”

Claudius glanced at the sky outside the window, then shook his head and said, “Forget it, I won’t go today, I’ll talk about it another day.”

After hearing what Claudius said, the maid named Nia suddenly sighed with relief. Although in the end, Saint Claudius still rejected her proposal, she felt as if the distance between herself and Saint Claudius was different from the past. NS? Speaking of being close, it seems to be really close?

“From tomorrow on, I don’t need to find these historical books for me. I will ask the people below to send me books about the customs and customs of different countries. I am more interested in this aspect now… Claudius said with a smile.

“Yes, Your Highness, I would like to follow your will.” The Butler Niya responded quickly. *
