Pirate: Eternal

Vlad believes that the reason may still be the Devil Fruit.

After all, he is also an esper in the form of the phantom beast, the God of Shepherd, Paine. As a god, having overlord-like domineering is not too much.

No wonder Cervantes is so interested in Paine. Who wouldn’t want to own a pet with a domineering and domineering look?

"To put it into perspective, there are five people on the boat now, and there are four people with domineering domineering. This person is really worse than a penguin!"

Paine turned to look at Marcus and said angrily, making Marcus' forehead veins bulge in anger.

"I didn't expect Pangpang to have such domineering aura."

Vlad changed the topic and looked at Cervantes, who was concentrating on feeding the mealworms.

Although I didn't expect it, it actually made sense. After all, as a Tianlong, it is very reasonable to have the domineering aura of a king.

If this guy hadn't seen a cute Neptune-like creature running up to touch someone and then being swallowed in one gulp, so he burst out with domineering aura and escaped, I don't know how long he would have been able to hide his clumsiness.

huh~

boom!

Just as a few people were chatting, a roar sounded in the sky, and then waves of several meters high exploded from the sea next to the ship.

Enemy attack!

On the sea, a large sailing ship with black sails painted with skull patterns was approaching quickly, and even from a short distance away, there were already excited roars.

"act recklessly."

Ozma's eyes turned cold, and he immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and treated this group of pirates to their favorite flying slash.

"Hey! Wait." Vlad stopped him hurriedly, "They seem to be people under my command, forget it."

"Oh."

Ozma nodded. According to Vlad's character, he didn't find it strange to have a group of pirates under his command.

"your people?"

Paine, Cervantes, and Marcus were a little surprised. After all, they had always thought that Vlad was a decent man with some evil intentions.

"Hehe." Vlad scratched his head, "It's just a black glove used for blackmail. I'm not a pirate leader."

"..."

After a casual explanation, Vlad stood on the side of the ship facing the pirate ship, letting the other party see his appearance clearly.

However......

咻咻 咻 ~

Boom boom boom!

The pirates did not stop shelling because of him, but became more and more excited.

"Vlad, the way these pirates welcome you is quite special!"

"Ozma, cut them down!"

Vlad twitched the corners of his mouth, ignored Paine's teasing, and said to Ozma.

Clang!

Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the sound of gold and iron clashing echoed through the sky, and a magnificent scarlet slash split the sea surface and rushed straight towards the pirate ship.

For a moment, the blue sea surface was shrouded in red light, so dazzling that people could not help but squint their eyes.

When the light dissipated, there was nothing on the sea, not even the remains of the ship.

Vlad: "..."

His original intention was just to let Ozma cut the ship in half and teach these rebellious guys a lesson, but he didn't expect Ozma to directly make them evaporate.

"Speed ​​up, maybe something happened in the Kingdom of Eden."

Because of this incident, Vlad felt inexplicably uneasy.

He has always tried his best to distance himself from the relationship with Black Gloves, but in order to prevent floods from flooding the Dragon King Temple, he has always ensured that every Black Glove knows him and has a certain amount of goodwill.

Even if these black gloves were really lawless during his absence, they would not bombard him after he showed up.

crescent port

This is the port of the Kingdom of Eden open to the outside world. As the facade of a country, it is very prosperous and broad.

When the foreign ship arrived at the port, it was a busy time of day for loading and unloading cargo. It took a long time to wander around the port before finally finding a berth.

There were shouts one after another, bargaining arguments, and the creaking sound of strong men stepping on the deck when carrying goods. Everything was as lively and peaceful as when Vlad left.

"This is the Kingdom of Eden? Didn't I remember that it has only been a member of the World Government for more than 30 years? It is actually developing so well?"

Whether it was the embankment built with reinforced concrete or the tall and exquisite Gothic buildings with tall spiers nearby, Marcus was amazed.

You know, the Champagne Islands below the 'Holy Land' Mariejoia are not so prosperous. They are places where the world's noble Dracos often walk and play!

Vlad glanced at the changes in the expressions of everyone at the port and responded casually: "After all, it is my own home. If it is beautifully built, I will be comfortable living there."

Paine, who didn't see the beautiful young lady in the crowd, angrily said: "Shouldn't all this belong to the king? How come it has become your family?"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

"..."

Paine was speechless. He found that his invincible ventriloquism against Fat Cervantes always became powerless when facing Vlad.

Just like now, it was obvious that Vlad had given in, but why did he feel so uncomfortable?

This in the end is why? !

"The Impaler? It's the Impaler!"

"The Impaler is back!"

"..."

When Vlad disembarked from the ship and stepped into the port, a merchant in the crowd who was making money from foreigners noticed him with sharp eyes.

This shout was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves in an instant, and the originally bustling port became even more crowded.

"Mr. Impaler, the king is the one who pounces on him..."

The merchant rushed to Vlad in excitement, pointed in the direction of the palace and started dancing and gesticulating.

However, before he could finish his words, Vlad interrupted him.

"Hey!" Vlad smiled and waved his hand, "This is a public place. We should maintain due respect for the king and don't let outsiders see the joke."

"Ooh!"

The merchant nodded, calmed down, and continued.

"The king wants to rebel against you, and that group of nobles actually joined forces with the revolutionary army to ransack your home."

Vlad's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he repeated word for word: "These idiots united with the revolutionary army? And they ransacked my house?"

"Yes!"

"The king told us that you colluded with the Celestial Dragons and brought the Yonko Pirates to oppress us."

"How is this possible! Lord Impaler is the patron saint of our kingdom!"

"..."

The people who gathered around began to answer each other's questions, but with each additional word, Vlad became more and more embarrassed.

He has a very good relationship with a certain fat Celestial Dragon. He did join the Whitebeard Pirates, but it has nothing to do with colluding in oppression!

Vlad could foresee that if his relationship with Cervantes and the Whitebeard Pirates were exposed now, he would really be an old dirty turtle that had shed its shell, not a turtle but a turtle.

Although he was anxious to go back and see the losses, Vlad still kept a smile and asked everyone with concern:

"Are you okay? These bastards aren't making things difficult for you, are they?"
