Pirates: I was born to be a king

The location of the Navy Headquarters is good and the weather is as sunny as usual, but the people inside the Navy Headquarters are not in a very good mood.

"Is that so? Did Noah make Big Mom retreat again?"

At this time, Zhan Guo was looking at the battle analysis of the combat members of the two imperial groups during the live broadcast and a newspaper sent by the General Staff.

Crane's expression was not moved at all by Noah's victory. He just said calmly: "This is also good. Among the Four Emperors, Noah and Whitebeard are the ones who are content. And judging from the situation of the captains of both sides, they probably didn't fight desperately."

Zhan Guo frowned and said, "But Noah's group of women have improved too fast. Compared with the previous intelligence, their devil fruit proficiency and moves are much stronger than before."

"The most important thing is this..."

Zhan Guo took out a brand new bounty order, on which was the fair-skinned and intellectual Nico Robin.

"O'Hara?"

He narrowed her eyes and whispered, "It seems that the group of people up there are getting impatient."

Zhan Guo nodded and said, "Indeed, they contacted me to increase the reward, and also asked me to keep an eye on the movements of Noah and his gang."

"It's close to the change of leadership, and they don't have the conditions to stop it."

He smiled and pointed out what Zhan Guo had not said yet.

Zhan Guo smiled and said, "As expected of Xiao He, indeed, the higher-ups have already given the OK. He will officially take office next spring, and this is the unspoken condition."

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is not an easy task."

Zhan Guo, however, didn't care at all and said, "You just need to know the approximate location. Do you want me to send people or ships to follow you?

Unless military spending increases several times, there won’t even be enough to repair ships and provide pensions!”

Crane suddenly spoke up: "Is this what Kuzan is hiding?"

Zhan Guo paused after hearing this, and realized what He was referring to. He sighed and said, "Even if I didn't give the order back then, Brother Kong would have given it. If Brother Kong didn't give the order, the World Government would have bypassed us and reduced the already small military budget at that time. There was nothing we could do about it. 'If you don't plan carefully, you will suffer the consequences.' That guy Clover even tried to persuade Vegapunk to help with the research. This is one of the reasons why I gave the order decisively."

"That guy is a bastard disaster!"

Zhan Guo's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said sternly, "He was arrested and released more than a dozen times. Is he really so stupid as to think that the World Government has no evidence against him?!"

"Vegapunk is a smart man, so smart that it's scary. I'm not surprised if he can interpret the so-called history. But if he does, the World Government will definitely destroy him. I can't just ignore him. He is a man who can drive an era forward!"

Zhan Guo understands Vegapunk's psychology very well, because he is also a genius. Geniuses are always aloof and curious about unknown things. If Vegapunk is bewitched again, he is likely to fall into it.

"I knew that Kuzan had let a little girl go, but I concealed it. It can be considered as a kind of atonement."

Zhan Guo is a contradictory dove, he is determined to bear the sin and his methods are ruthless, but he will also think twice and take the lives of civilians and soldiers to heart. How could such a person not feel guilty for destroying the people of an island?

He Moran sighed, looked at the photo of Nico Robin, and murmured in his heart: "I hope this little girl can understand your feelings, Zhan Guo, don't touch the so-called taboos again."

"Although I think it's unlikely. After all, she doesn't live for herself alone."

"Clover, you are such a disaster~"

……

Elegia, east pier.

In the modern world, no matter which country it is, the dock is a vital location, not to mention in the world of pirates. It is directly upgraded to a military stronghold. Any country with a little bit of strength will send troops to guard it.

Not to mention the Kingdom of Elegia, there are almost no weak countries that can survive in the New World, and the army here is not much worse than the soldiers of the Navy Headquarters.

"Huh? There seems to be a big ship over there. This ship is so gorgeous!"

A soldier was patrolling the sea when he suddenly noticed a large sailing ship approaching in the distance. When the ship came closer and he could see its appearance clearly, he couldn't help but sigh that the ship was indeed rare and gorgeous.

Other soldiers also stopped, after all, their duty was to monitor and guard against the ships coming and going.

The brother soldier next to the soldier guessed, "It can't be the ship of King Sismilan of the Kingdom of Catavia. He often comes here to listen to concerts. He likes luxury and even said he wants to build a concert hall that is more luxurious than our country's! Hahahaha!"

As he said this, not only he himself, but also the people around him laughed.

How could it be so easy? As a music powerhouse, their country has a history of thousands of years. And it was their ancestors who devoted themselves to music one after another that created this music holy land.

As for the concert hall?

After he finished building it, the country was not far from being destroyed. It was a huge waste of money and manpower. Did he really think this was a paradise with simple and honest people?

The captain stopped laughing first, and said in a serious voice, "Okay, stop laughing. No matter what, the people on the ship are either rich or noble. We can't afford to offend them. Don't bring trouble to yourself and your family!"

Everyone stopped laughing, pursed their lips and lowered their heads, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Yes! Boss!"

Everyone thanked him in unison.

The captain was not happy but angry, his veins popping out, and he cursed: "How many times have I told you this? This is the music capital, the most elegant holy place. Call me 'sir' or 'captain'!"

The soldiers instantly shrank their heads in fear and responded in a low voice, but they were muttering in their hearts:

Calling him "Laozi" all the time doesn't seem very elegant.

The captain picked up the telescope and observed, and found that there was no pirate flag. He was relieved at first, but when he saw the girls and Noah, he instantly knew their identities. The New World is not as closed to information as the countries in the Four Seas.

"Hurry up, hurry up, have someone inform the king that Mr. Noah is here, and everyone else, follow me to greet him. Remember to be humble and polite, understand?"

The captain solemnly warned his subordinates that he had seen this gentleman before, and found that he was not only noble but also very cultured. However, the more so, the more they should not take his culture as a capital for being insolent.

Because this gentleman was not even willing to call "King Gordon" or "Your Majesty Gordon", but just called the king "Mr. Gordon" in a flat tone.

Although these younger brothers are a bit rude in their daily lives, their biggest advantage is that they listen to advice. So after hearing the instructions from their captain, they nodded repeatedly, and some even felt a little nervous.

Soon, the ship docked.

The captain pushed a wooden staircase to make it easier for Noah and his crew to get off the boat.

Noah took the lead. When he saw the stairs under his feet, he looked slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and walked down.

As soon as he came down, the captain came forward and said respectfully with a smile: "Welcome to Lord Noah. I have sent someone to tell King Gordon. Do you need me to lead the way?"

The captain knew that people like Noah hated nothing more than flattering nonsense, so he asked directly about the needs.

Noah just smiled and said, "No need, King Luben is very familiar with it!"

Then he walked towards the palace.

After Noah left, Vanessa smiled and nodded to the captain, saying, "Thank you for the stairs, sir."

Although they have folding stairs at home, they usually don't put them down.

It's simple, they just find it troublesome and the speed is slow. In this time they have jumped up and down more than ten times.

The captain waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is the etiquette of entertaining distinguished guests. It is what I should do."

In fact, they were responsible for welcoming the princes and nobles when they came. The last time Noah and his friends came, one of their ships had a pirate flag and the other was tattered, so they did not enjoy this treatment.

Liya and the others didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not, but they still expressed their gratitude and then followed Noah's steps.

Joanna and Michelle skipped along, wanting to see how their little sister was doing with her music studies.

Who would have thought that we would meet Uta and Gordon just halfway through the journey.

Uta rushed over excitedly and shouted, "Everyone~!"

Joanna also smiled and opened her arms to welcome him, shouting, "Uta!"

Who would have thought that Uta would directly pass Joanna, hug Noah, and cry, "Everyone, Noah, why did you take so long?"

Noah didn't expect that the little girl would hug his legs, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he still smiled and said, "It won't be long, just a few months!"

Uta puffed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Shanks didn't even call back, and neither did you!"

"I am also a member of the Red Hair Pirates, how could he do this!"

Uta was very dissatisfied with Shanks. She felt that she was abandoned. If she had not been a pirate since childhood and was mentally strong, a normal ten-year-old girl would have cried her eyes out.

Liya touched Uta's head to comfort him, and Roland next to her said, "Shanks should not be in the New World. After all, the signals of Den Den Mushi can be large or small, but it is very expensive to send and receive Den Den Mushi signals across islands, not to mention the span of the first and second half of the Grand Line. Given the personalities of the Red Hair Pirates..."

Luo Lan shrugged at the end, meaning that they all understood.

Everyone understood that a bunch of prodigals like Shanks could not save money, and they would never buy something like a Den Den Mushi that could receive signals over very long distances. It would be better to use the money to hold more parties.

In the future, the Four Emperors Red Hair may have this kind of Den Den Mushi, but the current Red Hair definitely doesn’t have it, because it is not something that is urgently needed.

Wuta pursed his lips and muttered, "Why is this happening?"

Gordon came over and laughed, "This is really Shanks' personality. He is very much like his captain."

Noah smiled and nodded at Gordon, saying, "Mr. Gordon, Uta has troubled you recently. I would like to thank you on behalf of Red Hair."

This shocked Gordon so much that he stood there in shock.

Mr. Noah actually thanked someone? And called himself "I"?

Gordon took out a towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead, then smiled and said, "No, no!"

Noah was not surprised to see Gordon's fearful look. He was in a high position and had been on the throne for decades, with a status comparable to that of the ruler of the world. These kings in the land before him were at most small mayors, or even the chiefs of a larger village.

When Noah saw Gordon this time, he could see the tiredness in his eyes. Excluding political affairs, he must have been taking great pains for Uta's education.

Joanna came over with a dissatisfied look on her face, leaned over with her hands on her waist and stared at Wuta, saying: "Well, you are so heartless that you actually bypassed me, your sister!"

Wuta curled his lips and said, "I didn't see you call me, but I know you have a large Den Den Mushi on board."

The so-called large Den Den Mushi is actually equivalent to a base station, and calls are still made using an ordinary Den Den Mushi.

When Joanna heard about the large Den Den Mushi, she looked disgusted and said, "That snail is so troublesome. It's so big but so squeamish. It insisted on eating fresh leaves. After I beat it up, Rosalind roasted it and ate it."

Gordon was speechless after hearing this. This is a strategic resource, even rich people may not be able to buy it, and yet it was burned just because of such a trivial matter.

Gordon turned his head and asked Liya whether it was true or not. Liya just laughed dryly when she saw it.

Xibel gave a direct comment, saying that the taste was good, but unfortunately there was too little meat to share.

Gordon was convinced that the strong men were a group of guys with some mental problems, but he did not say it directly.

Gordon said patiently, "The Den Den Mushi's request is not excessive. It's just that you don't have a place to stay. Besides, those large Den Den Mushi can last for several days or even more than a week after eating once. They don't need to be fed frequently."

Gordon just felt that the death of the Den Den Mushi was a bit unfair. It died just because of such a small request. He would complain to the King of Hell.

Joanna was stunned for a moment, then she whistled as if nothing had happened.

I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Uta also understood that her good sister was unreliable, but she didn't blame her for anything.

Gordon started a banquet with the highest standards to entertain Noah and others.

At the banquet, Uta asked Noah and others about their experiences during this period. Especially when she saw Robin and Kerla who were new on board, she was very curious about the identities of these people.

Everyone looked at Kerla, not knowing what to say. Kerla smiled and said that she used to be a slave. After returning to her hometown, she found that she was not suitable for village life, so she begged Lord Noah to take her on board as a maid.

Kerla's smile was different from before, full of relief rather than numbness.

Uta was both unfamiliar and familiar with the word "slave". He was stunned for a long time. After a while, he came to his senses and apologized to Kerla sincerely.

Kerla accepted the other party's apology very readily because she did not see any disgust or pity in the other party's eyes.

Uta then carefully asked about this seemingly intelligent and elegant older sister, but Gordon recognized her first.

"Is this... is this Nico Robin?!"

Gordon's heart skipped a beat when he recognized Robin, and he said to Noah seriously, "Mr. Noah, you should know what she means?"

"It's just O'Hara's hope of survival."

Noah just cut the steak on the plate without looking up and replied in a calm tone without any concern.

After hearing what Noah said, Gordon could only smile bitterly and shook his head without saying anything more. Strong people are always arbitrary, especially a strong person like Noah. His inner beliefs make it difficult to change the decisions he made.

Uta looked at Nicole Robin curiously, then looked at Gordon and Noah. When Uta looked at Robin, Robin also raised his head, looked at her and smiled gently. This scene made Uta feel heartbeat for some reason.

It was not love, but inexplicable admiration. She saw in Robin all the perfect qualities that a mature woman possessed - intelligence, calmness and elegance.

After Uta learned about Robin's life story from Joanna, she also sighed in her heart: "The people Noah took in are really pitiful people."

Kuina was already doing the best among them.

after dinner.

Uta took Joanna's hand and asked Noah, "Noah, how long will you stay this time?"

Noah leaned against the railing, one hand lazily resting on it, the other in his pocket, and said, "I'll leave tomorrow."

"Huh? So fast?"

Uta puffed up her lips with a look of dissatisfaction.

Liya squatted down with a smile, and first looked at Noah and said, "Master Noah, don't just say one sentence!"

Noah shrugged.

Liya then turned her head and looked at Wuta, saying, "We are indeed leaving tomorrow. After all, there is no place here for us to practice. However, the place we are going to is not far away, in the nearby Usyati Islands."

Uta didn't know where the island was, but he was relieved when he heard it wasn't far away. He asked curiously, "How long does it take to get there from here?"

Liya thought for a moment and said, "Probably less than half an hour."

Uta nodded, it was indeed quite close.

Liya smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will come here every now and then. Please don't let it affect your studies."

Uta said proudly: "No, I'm a genius!"

Knowing that everyone would leave again tomorrow, Uta dragged everyone to listen to her sing.

This time Uta didn't let anyone fall asleep. It seemed that the ability of the devil fruit had been well controlled. Everyone enjoyed a musical feast.

Even Robin nodded and smiled: "This is already at the level of a music superstar."

Kerla also nodded excitedly. She felt as if she had gained strength from the other person's music.
