Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

The boy was in a warm place, wrapped in something soft. Although it felt like a happy dream, I forgot its content.

As consciousness slowly recovered—

"This is where?"

He sat up from the bed, and after looking around, he found that the room had tables and chairs, a bookshelf with many books, a fish tank with goldfish swimming, and a magnificent fireplace burning with flames.

(This is... I seem to be taken to someone's bedroom...)

While the boy was still immersed in his thoughts, the door opened with a creaking sound.

"Oh, are you finally awake?"

A strange man walked in with a tray containing a bowl of soup. He should be in his thirties, wearing a dark green cloak, with a red square tattoo on his left cheek, looking extremely ferocious. His short black hair was combed back, and his expression was fierce.

But what surprised the boy the most was the fact that this man didn't have eyebrows.

(How can there be no eyebrows! This person!)

Of course, for teenagers, this kind of thing is fine, the question is who this guy is...

(Thanks to Colonel Malvern for dragging the robe masked man in the end and fighting him, I was able to escape, but... if it's true as he said, the World government will do everything until the Op-Op Fruit is found. Search this area for the price...)

(I should have been offered a very high reward. After all, Colonel Malvern also said that Op-Op Fruit is worth more than 10 billion baileys...)

(So ​​this vicious man who looks like a bounty hunter in front of him may have contacted Marine and was waiting for them to come here...)

When the vigilant young man thought so in his heart, the man suddenly said:

"You must be hungry, right?"

After speaking, before the boy could answer, the man approached him and put the soup beside the bed. The fragrant smell suddenly stimulated the boy's nose, and his throat couldn't help but grunt.

In the past few days, the boy has not eaten anything, and his crazy hunger makes him want to devour this bowl of soup now.

However, rationality finally prevailed over appetite - the young man did not touch the bowl of soup, but took the knife in his hand and went around the man's back in an instant. With his left arm around the man's neck, he pressed the knife to the man's throat.

"Who are you? What's your purpose?!"

Although his stamina hasn't recovered much, if he's the first mover, even this man won't be able to resist.

With this thought in mind, the boy was about to ask the other party's purpose. However, the man did not panic at all.

"Nice response!"

"what!"

In an instant that wasn't enough to blink, the boy's body flew into the air, and he was suddenly picked up from the ground and thrown onto the bed.

(What happened, what happened?!)

"Although the courage is very strong, but kid, when the strength gap between the two sides reaches a certain level, rashly shooting is an unquestionable act of suicide! Stupid!"

(...It seems that I was thrown out in an instant by the man in front of me...Although I am indeed a weak kid, and he looks strong, but when I got along with Colonel Malvern, he clearly taught I have so many great fighting skills... I must have been careless just now!)

The boy quickly got up and confronted the man head-on. In order not to lose the momentum, he tried his best to open his eyes and stared at the man fiercely.

"It's so violent, it's like the eyes of a beast..."

The man said so.

He didn't mean to attack the young man, but picked up the soup bowl and spoon on his own, and walked towards the young man like this.

"If I were you, I would seize any opportunity to recover my physical strength, so that if the enemy had the desire to attack, I would have the strength to resist... But then again, you should be very clear, if I have the desire to attack you, you should be very clear. If you are hostile, you have no chance to talk to me soberly right now."

"Eat it while it's hot, it's not good when it's cold."

(seems delicious...)

The young man's eyes stared straight at the bowl of brown hot soup. Whether it was the chicken or beef in the soup, or the various colorful vegetables, they were all frantically teasing his appetite.

But——the boy was still very scared.

(Although what this man said is very reasonable, he may have given sleeping pills to make me fall asleep again, and the time until the arrival of the World government or Marine is unknown... After all, Op-Op Fruit has already been taken by me. Eaten, the living me is worth more than the dead me...)

(How could I be careless, how could I put down my guard!)

"I will never drink your soup!"

"It's too easy to judge, your eyes... I'm wondering if I've put something strange, or I have bad intentions for you... How should I put it, I've seen too many, I can't do it again like you People who believe in others..."

The boy didn't answer the man's words, the weak and scared he did his best not to look away from the man. As a result, the man was right in front of him, holding the bowl of soup to his mouth—one mouthful, two mouthfuls, sipping the soup with pleasure.

"Even though I haven't cooked soup for many years, it seems that my skills haven't regressed, I still cook marine curry... So, so you know I didn't put poison in it or anything... don't think about it. I'm not your enemy. I've betrayed justice, but I haven't fallen for the sake of playing tricks with dying brats."

Having said that, the man handed the bowl of soup to the boy again, not caring whether the boy would suddenly burst out.

The boy subconsciously held the spoon with his left hand, while still holding the knife in his right hand, he faced the man and took a sip of the soup.

Immediately, his mouth was filled with the umami flavor of the soup, and the young man felt that his whole body was nourished by nutrients.

When he came back to his senses, he was already crying—the soup was delicious, so warm, and he realized how he felt saved... So many emotions were mixed together, and the boy felt embarrassed for a while and burst into tears.

"Damn it...good...so delicious!"

After the first sip, I couldn't stop. The young man put the knife aside, devoured the meat and vegetables in a gulp, and drank the soup without a drop.

I don't know if it was because of being too hungry, or because of psychological effects, but the boy always felt that it was more precious than all the dishes he had tasted so far.

"It seems that the cartoon called "Master Chef" published in the World Economic News is indeed right. Delicious cooking is something that can bring happiness to people..."

The man smiled and said, "Give me the bowl after eating, and I'll add another bowl of soup for you."

...

After drinking the broth and regaining some physical strength, the boy followed the man's arrangement and walked into the bathroom. How long ago was the last time I had a comfortable and comfortable bath like this, the boy couldn't remember. After all, he only had the memory of constantly rushing through the heavy snow in the past few days to find the memory of the "next door town". For the first time, he realized that it was so comfortable to soak in hot water after a full meal.

"what……"

When washing his body, the teenager noticed the great changes in himself in the mirror.

"It's gone... The skin that has turned white due to the lead disease has returned to its original state..."

The boy's eyes widened, and he patted his face in disbelief, finally convinced that his illness was cured.

A sense of reassurance that he had not felt for many years, that he no longer had to be afraid of Perkin's illness, suddenly flooded into his heart, making his nose feel sore.

After calming down his excited and complicated mood a little, the boy relaxed his muscles and concentrated on enjoying the feeling of being warmed by hot water. After walking out of the bathroom, he found that the man had prepared a change of clothes for him.

"It's the clothes I brought to this stronghold. You must be too big to wear them, but there is no other choice at the moment. It's better to be big when you are big. It's better than being naked or wearing torn clothes and freezing."

After putting on enough clothes to fit two or three of himself, the boy and the man sat on the chairs, facing each other. But at this time, there was no longer the atmosphere of tension in the air - to be precise, the boy did not know when to lift his guard against men.

"I say……"

"what?"

"Did you save me? You don't look like a normal person..."

"It is true that I saved you, and I am indeed not an ordinary person."

The man answered lightly.

"..."

The young man didn't know how to answer for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he still said very embarrassedly: "Since you saved me, I think I still have to thank you..."

"When thanking someone, it's better to introduce yourself, kid."

The man raised his mouth slightly.

"Don't call me kid, Trafalgar D. Water Law, that's my name!"

After Luo said this, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was wrong - the vicious-looking man was staring at him with a very serious and frightening look, and the aura emanating from his body was even more powerful than what Luo had ever seen dealing with pirates. Colonel Malvern was even more terrifying.

"Trafalgar D. Water Law, is that your name? Your parents gave you that?"

"Um……"

Luo replied somewhat bewildered - the man's attitude and mood changed completely after his self-introduction.

"Nice name!"

The man also seemed to realize that his imposing manner was a little scary, and he showed a smile that was definitely not good-looking, which was considered to ease the atmosphere.

"My name is Dragon, Monkey D. Dragon, and I'm a revolutionary."

"Eh……?"

"Yes, I have a D in my name too,"

The man named Long smiled and said, "It seems that my encounter with you is a fate, Luo!"

...

Through some conversations, Luo and Long both had a certain understanding of each other, but of course, they still concealed it.

For example, Luo concealed Op-Op Fruit because he was afraid of being used or used as a cash cow, but also told Long what happened to him:

He was born and raised in the "white town" Fravans, and was taught and studied medicine by his parents, but the town was abandoned by the government because of the lead disease. After the war began, parents, sisters, and friends were all burned to death by the fire. He suffered from lead disease and felt desperate for the world. Looking for revenge on Marine, but met a benefactor named Malvin...

Long also told Luo how he saved him...

"Have you thought about what to do in the future, Luo?"

Dragon asked.

"do not know……"

Luo replied with some confusion, "Maybe... Let's contact the big Marine named Polsalino that Colonel Malvern mentioned first..."

"I advise you not to contact the Logia monster, Marine Vice Admiral named Polsalino is better,"

Long pondered for a moment, then said, "Although he and Colonel Malvern are the friendly ones in Marine, even if he looks at the whole World government, he is also a big person who is focused on. And once you contact him, not only It will expose yourself to danger and implicate him... You know, the masked robe man who fought against your benefactor, Colonel Malvern, is the CP0 agent who serves the Celestial Dragons, and they are all-pervasive. ."

"...Mr. Long, why do you know so much?"

Luo was stunned.

"Because I was also a Marine, Naval Headquarters Rear Admiral to be exact,"

Long replied calmly, "Of course, I later defected because of some things, and now I am a revolutionary dedicated to overthrowing the World government!"

"!!!"

"Your parents are doctors, right? They taught you medicine, but I still want to tell you, Luo, there is no way to save people in this decayed world by studying medicine!"

...

"Shout, shout out the name of 'Lu Shuren' in your heart at the most critical moment, and I will come to save you!"

Gilder Tezzolo knelt on the ground and stared blankly at the figure of Polsalino who turned and left. His heart was full of astonishment-Polusalino obviously did not speak, but Tezzolo seemed to be in his own hands. He heard Polusalino say those words in his brain.

(What's the situation?! Who is the name of Lu Shuren? Why do you want to shout it out in the bottom of your heart? To save me means... to release my status as a slave? But this Polsalino, he is not Marine The big man? Why would you say such a thing?!)

Tezzolo, who was sweating coldly on his forehead, looked around. Whether it was the slaves kneeling like him, or the guards who bowed slightly and watched Polsalino leave, everyone's reaction was normal... …

Am I the only one who heard this voice?

...

Tezzolo guessed right, and indeed he was the only one who heard the voice - this is a new move developed by Polusalino not long ago, and it was named "Magic Sound In Ear". Insects send out the principle of supernatural waves to achieve close-range one-on-one spiritual dialogue.

In fact, this communication method has been used by Polsalino when he incarnates Ultraman Paya. ".

And whether it was out of his own emotions, or based on his own interests, or his dissatisfaction and revenge for what happened to Colonel Malvern, in short, Tezzolo wanted to save, and Jesus couldn't stop him. Polsalino has already decided on this point.

But not now, but when a murloc adventurer named Fisher Tiger is causing a riot in the Holy Land—at that time, Polsalino will not only try to save these slaves, including Tezzolo , I plan to test the Lord Yimu who is hiding behind the scenes.

...

Sea Circle Calendar November 23, 1502, this is not really a special day, but it is undoubtedly an extremely important day for Polusalino, who celebrated his birthday on this day, and the people around him. of.

However, before spending this very meaningful day, after the Celestial Dragons party on November 22, Polusalino did not hesitate to reject the proposal of Leander Palace to let him stay in the Holy Land Mariejois, and chose to return to Naval Headquarters Marineford - The small house that Colonel Malvern lent him and Sakazuki when he first came here.

But to Polusalino's surprise, when he came here, he found that Sakazuki had been here for a while - the ashtray was full of cigarette butts he left behind.

"Huh? Sakazuki? Why are you here? Didn't you visit the G8 fortress today?
