I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 427
"..."
Lin Qi was speechless when he suddenly heard Robin asking: "Lose, what's wrong with you? When you were in the restaurant before, you seemed to be shaking all over."
Robin lowered his head and asked the girl princess.
The latter's eyes were staring at the other end of the street. Robin looked over and saw that there seemed to be a tall man standing on the roadside with his arms folded, looking at the crowds of people who rushed up to grab water and then dispersed.
It was Gance, the guard captain from her hometown, whose voice Rose recognized in the restaurant before.
Gance glanced at the crowd that had dispersed, and his companion urged: "Let's go, they are shouting over there, it's time to enter the palace together."
"I know." He nodded, and Gance was about to turn around when he suddenly looked towards the far end of the street. Among the people coming and going, a woman turned around, but the most eye-catching thing was the one next to her. man. The man was quite tall, standing over 2.4 meters tall, and anyone could not help but fix their eyes on him at a casual glance.
It seemed that he was aware of his gaze, and the other party also looked towards Gance.
"...?!" Gance quickly looked away as if he was stabbed by the other party's gaze.
My companion asked: "What's wrong?"
Gance stalked after him and said in a deep voice: "I saw a pirate..."
"It's normal for pirates to sneak onto the island." My companion thought it didn't matter.
"That's not an ordinary pirate..." Gance said in a deep voice as he walked, "It's Giovanna Giorno and his captain Xu Lun Kujo!"
The companion thought for a moment before reacting suddenly, and blurted out in shock: "Those two people?!"
Just as he was about to turn around to confirm, he was slapped back by another companion, who scolded: "Are you full? Those are two monsters whose combined bounty is 730 million beli. Pirates! Just keep an eye on them. If something happens to them, who will be responsible?"
The former trembled in fear, "Yes! Those are two monsters. I have no ability to take their bounty, so I'll just pretend I didn't see them..."
Having said this, he turned to look at Gance.
However, Gance also walked on in stride, with no reaction on his face.
Does he think I am capable of collecting the bounty from those two pirates? Gance laughed at himself inwardly.
The guy who can easily eliminate the second daughter of the Emperor of the Sea in the swordsman competition and defeat the ghost (Harmony) Lady of the Charlotte family... That Giorno is completely beyond the scope of a normal person.
"Meet up with the Haiqi people first and go to the palace." Gance said.
"Guard Captain Gance?"
Over there, Lynch and Robin listened to Rose's explanation.
When Gance was about to look over, Rose was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Lynch. Robin saw her panic and turned around to cover her.
"It was him who shot people on the street in the restaurant..."
Loss murmured with a pale face, "He is my father's guard captain. He rarely even leaves the palace or his father's side. How could he appear here? Could it be that my father... no, no , Those people around Gance don’t look like the guards in the palace..."
The princess was mumbling something, but Lin Qi stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead.
"Ah!" Rose was interrupted from her thoughts, covering her forehead and looking up.
Lin Qi grinned, "You are so panicked! Don't you want to be recognized by those wires?"
"It's 'Gance'." Robin reminded.
………………
"This year's collection of heavenly gold is almost over,"
In the town, Bruno, a spirited eighteen-year-old boy, said calmly, "The navy from the island branch has also entered the palace to guard it... If the pirates want to rob the palace treasury again, they will probably appear in the near future."
Hearing this, Gabra snorted and said disdainfully: "If the navy branch can handle it, why are we still here?"
"Since we are here, we must resolve this matter completely." Otonashi Owl said quietly from the side, "The affairs of Igor Kingdom have angered the top government officials, and I heard that it has even alarmed the Five Old Stars... One of the franchising countries was overwhelmed by the sky's money and loan debts, and was eventually forced to be expelled from the franchising country. If there is another Igor Kingdom... the government will never allow such huge losses. "
The World Government is a huge alliance with the World Conference as its core, and it also has three military units under it. Its dominance radiates all over the world, covering the Grand Route... Where can so much money come from to support such a huge system?
The navy does not charge local "protection fees". Their military expenditures obviously come directly from the world government.
Where does the money for the world government come from?
The "heavenly gold" of the franchised countries is undoubtedly one of the important financial sources.
Although the money is nominally dedicated to the Tianlong people...
But since the naval warships escorting the Heavenly Gold were sent by the world government and not by the world's noble Celestial Dragons, who can tell how the money will be distributed?
Gabra yelled: "You'd better shut your mouth!"
"..." Following the two of them, Bruno was also very speechless.
Fortunately, this mission is not a particularly secret espionage operation, otherwise Otonashi Owl, a big colander, would never be allowed to participate in the front line.
"By the way," Gabra asked casually as he walked on the street, "Where are Luqi and the others? Could it be that after being worshiped by those inexplicable believers as some pigeon evil **** last time, he felt unhappy and went to find him? Kill them all?"
"You think too much of him." Bruno said calmly.
Everyone saw the crowds on the street competing for the so-called "charity water" distributed by the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce dispersed.
Bruno said: "Lucci went to the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce on this island to check the situation..."
"What's there to check? What good things can loan lenders get?" Gabra sneered, "That guy simply burned down the chamber of commerce, grabbed all the money and threw it to the royal family here, lest they lose it again. Money is given to heaven.”
Behead first and then tell. The "god" has the right to grant permission. As long as CP9 is willing, a small chamber of commerce is just a money bag placed on the roadside. There will be no consequences for killing people and stealing goods.
Otonashi Owl reminded: "Gabra, we are government agents, not pirates!"
"I told you to close your mouth!" Gabra turned around and shouted, "Be careful, sir, they will make a real zipper and sew your mouth shut..."
At this moment, a piercing scream sounded from the street:
"Ah!!!"
"Help!!!!!!"
In an instant, the crowd on the street became chaotic.
Gabra and Otonashi looked at each other, while Bruno had already rushed towards the place where the scream came from.
From a distance, I saw a tall young man standing on the street in the center of the chaotic crowd. His disproportionately huge mouth was constantly moving, with a piece of white and tender meat between his teeth. Calf...
