Konoha vs. One Piece

Chapter 280 A Banquet

"you're awake?"

When Aokiji woke up, this was the first sentence he heard.

He felt that his head was buzzing, and he hadn't felt this feeling for many years because of his extraordinary talent and powerful fruit ability.

"you……"

It took him a lot of effort to focus his eyes together. He is now in a broken room, covered with a quilt sewn together with some rags.

There were two people looking at him in front of him.Among them, the older man has red hair and is quite thin, looking like a bamboo pole standing up. The younger man has blue hair and wears a somewhat cracked helmet. eyepiece.This is of course Johnny and Bonnie.

what happened……

"You collapsed on the street, tsk tsk tsk, you look like you were beaten."

Was beaten?The dizzy Aokiji finally remembered: "Yes, I was beaten, and the reason for the beating was..."

Then his face suddenly became gloomy: "Glared at the soldiers of the Royal Army."

"Hahahaha!"

Then he looked at the two people in front of him inexplicably and let out a burst of laughter.

"What's wrong? What's so funny about that?"

"Hahahahaha, at first glance, you are a foreigner, right? Only people who have never been to this country would be so stupid, and they were beaten half to death and almost lost their lives because of this kind of common sense. This is really too funny."

"You are really talented. When we met for the first time, my name is Johnny. This is Bonny. You passed out on the street and we brought you back."

Aokiji nearly fainted from Johnny's slap.

"Having said that, you should have some common sense when you come to this country. Even if you are disrespectful to the soldiers of the king's army in a foreign country, it is only natural for you to be beaten?" Bonnie complained without hesitation:
"Being beaten to death for glancing at the king's army is the most stupid way of death I've ever heard."

The merciless ridicule of the two made Aokiji a little embarrassed, but he was not angry with his easy-going personality, but laughed twice in a cooperative manner.

The main reason is that Aokiji said the reason for being beaten with a gloomy expression before. To Johnny and the others, it seemed like someone said seriously that the reason he was almost killed was because he stabbed a grizzly bear. Like their ass, in their ordinary life, it can be regarded as a good pleasure.

Laughter is really an easy way to bring people closer. Everyone always likes to socialize with fun people. In a few words, the three of them are considered to be acquainted.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is……"

As soon as Aokiji was about to say his name, he felt something control his mouth.

"My name is Dutch Van der Lin, a country boy."

After saying these words uncontrollably, Aokiji knew that it was the guy who had been by his side who had made the move.He knew very well that it was impossible for the other party to let him report Kuzan's name to make his exposure more likely.Now that the words have been spoken, he can be regarded as tacitly acquiescing to the other party's control. He is a knife and I am a fish, and he has even arranged a name for him. Even if he wants to say something to refute what he said, it is impossible.

"Okay, Dude Dutch," Johnny said, "any plans?"

"Well, I just couldn't live in my own country, so I went to a foreign country to make a living."

Under his throat covered by the collar, black runes slowly emerged and disappeared.Aokiji hated the feeling of being controlled by others, and his tongue and throat did not obey his command at all.But the art of distracting the body combined with the fine manipulation of the mouthpiece's curse seal made him powerless to resist.

"Now that I'm here, I can only settle in this country."

Next, in the narration of Aokiji being controlled, he became a person who drifted out to sea with luck, and came to this country by chance.Aokiji knew very well that this was a script Konoha had arranged for him, and he could only be like a player watching a cutscene while playing a game, unable to interfere in any way.

"Oh, then I assure you, this is not some hospitable paradise. Congratulations, redneck, you've come from one hell to another."

Soon, countryman became Aokiji's nickname.

After chatting for a while, Johnny and Bonny also planned to leave.

"You can take a rest here first." Johnny stood in front of the door and said to him: "Because of a big incident some time ago, the last thing here is empty houses."

Then he paused and continued: "Or there is never a vacant house here, because people often die. So you can rest assured that no previous owner will come to you. But the food here is very precious It’s not bad if we can take care of you for a day. It’s not a good thing, but at least it can fill your stomach. I’ve put your rations for you today, and it’s my food for Boni and I. One, but only for today. Tomorrow if you are better you can find us at the house at the intersection, and we will take you to find a job together. People always have to work."

After that long conversation, Johnny closed the door.

"So country folks, enjoy today's free dinner, and I won't disturb your personal dinner. Tomorrow can never be worse than today. I wish you sweet dreams."

……

It was late at night, but at this moment, the palace of this kingdom was still brightly lit.At this time, a grand welcome banquet is going on.

In this world, the interests of the people are often ignored.If it is said that the people of the country rioted before, the killing of the king made these nobles see the power of ordinary people, but they were soon beaten back to their original shape.

Under the pressure of power, 10 people have no choice but to disarm. In the eyes of the nobles, the power of the people looks strong, but when they meet the navy, isn't that kneeling?
The former king was stupid. He didn't know how to use money to hire people from the government. Instead, he wanted the navy to serve him for free, so he died as a matter of course.As long as they are not as stupid as the previous king, no matter how much the people turn against Xuantian, what can they do?
So after the riots in this country, these nobles not only didn't learn how to treat the people better, but they learned the lesson from it that as long as they hugged the government's thigh tightly, the untouchables would be nothing to worry about. Deduce their attitude towards the people.

"Your Majesty, have the recent tax increases been heavier? I'm worried about persecuting the people like this..."

In the hall, a band in suits and leather shoes babbled melodious waltz music in a corner of the venue, and countless men and women dressed like peacocks twirled and danced in the arena.

"Your Majesty the King!"

"Good day, Your Majesty the King."

The new king of the Kingdom of Lucivia, the former Duke Darko Milanic, who just came to power three days ago, walked slowly in the banquet, and various people made reverent voices to him from time to time.He also appeared to be very gentlemanly and nodded slightly, with a comfortable and indifferent expression, and he clinked glasses with nobles one after another in a chic manner, ignoring the voice of the Minister of Defense following behind.

Apart from the important guests, this banquet gathered all the remaining high-ranking nobles in the entire Lucylvia Kingdom. It can be said that all the high-ranking people who survived the chaos a few days ago were here.

He just walked and clinked glasses all the way, and finally walked to the high platform on the second floor. The entire venue is a circular building. From the second floor, you can overlook the entire hall on the first floor, giving people a sense of

"Gentlemen and ladies, let's drink to the King, that after what has happened so horribly, it is because of His Majesty's intervention that we were able to drive out the untouchables and take back our own homeland."

"To the king!"

"To the king!"

In the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, the king sitting on the high platform on the second floor stood up and toasted to the people on the dance floor in the atrium below.

"What's there to worry about?"

Only then did he curl his lips indifferently, and he had time to answer the Minister of Defense's words.

Wearing luxurious clothes and wearing a king's laurel crown made of pure gold, he sat on a wide and soft sofa, half of his fat body sank into the sofa, and then nodded to the Minister of Defense to sit down beside him.

The position of Minister of Defense was newly established after the national riots. Its main role is to command the king's army and prevent the occurrence of previous incidents.This position of monopolizing military power must be someone the king trusts very much. For example, the current Minister of Defense is the king's brother-in-law.

"That cousin of mine is just himself stupid, and there is some kind of Xiao organization that hinders it."

He said carelessly, waving his hands from time to time to greet others: "As long as we take the initiative to ask for asylum from the world government, things like my cousin will never happen again! According to me, he is a fool who was purely fooled by himself. As long as we Not as stupid as he is, and it wouldn't have led to that."

"But the navy has already left? Your Majesty, they are just guys who collect money and go through the motions. They have no intention of helping you stabilize your rule in this country. Any arrest of important pirates is an excuse and excuse. I will go I checked that red-haired pirate group, but it’s actually just a rookie pirate group that has entered the great route, and that group of navy just doesn’t want to spend more time helping you!”

"Don't you think I'm a fool for not thinking of this?"

It was only then that the Minister of Defense realized that what he said was a bit overstepped: "Sorry, Your Majesty the King."

"Hmph..." After all, he was his confidant, and the king didn't criticize him too much: "You don't know. Even if the navy has left, the threat from the government is still there. Those untouchables don't have the guts to do something Yes. Because they know that if they dare to do something against me, the king, they will immediately receive a thunderous blow from the world government, and they will not do such a thing that is tantamount to suicide."

"But there are still those Xiao organizations..." The Minister of Defense said with some concern: "Judging from the previous incidents, these people from the Xiao organization did not care about the lives of the people at all. If they intend to continue to agitate the people... "

"Those pariahs don't have the guts to attack the king. The navy's warship just left! God, can you stop worrying about this, those pariahs are scared out of their wits, they don't dare to do that."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing his confidants immediately bow their heads and apologize, the king who was stroked was in a good mood: "But the Xiao organization has to guard against it. Although it is a mouse in the gutter, it will bite people when it jumps out."

"That……"

The Minister of National Defense thought, could it be possible to let the King's Army go to investigate the people from Xiao's organization?That's really because the old birthday star hanged himself for a long time.

"By the way, do you know that Konoha?"

The Minister of Defense nodded: "I know a little bit, the largest military organization in Shimura Danzo's hometown organized by Akatsuki, but what does this have to do with us?"

"What you don't know is that two days ago, the government signed an S-level mission with Konoha. In short, the matter of dealing with the Akatsuki organization has been completely handed over to them."

When the king said this, the Minister of Defense also remembered this power.

"Oh, so it's the military group of that country, wait, that guy named Shimura Danzo claims to be a traitor, could it be..."

"Yes. So for ninjas, let the professional do it."

The king said: "The efficiency of those Konoha people is pretty good. The government paid them to catch the people from the Akatsuki organization, and they have already taken the initiative to come now."

"Ah! Then they..."

"It's on the third floor now. This banquet was originally prepared for them. After all, I have to thank them for taking on some private work after work and helping me solve a lot of troubles."

The Minister of Defense heard the king talking about trouble, and immediately combined several recent things.

There is not only the king alone who has the right to inherit this country, there are at least two or three powerful nobles.The navy helped them drive those untouchables out of the capital and left without caring about the domestic situation.

Although the current king, Darko Milanic, gave enough money to the world government to make the other party publicly recognize his status as king, the other two nobles who paid the money one step later were not easy to save.

According to the normal process, these nobles and kings, who are fighting inside and outside, are about to launch a wonderful political struggle at this time, and delineate new divisions of wealth and power. This process will last for a long time, meat Investors will compete for interests like wild animals at the dinner table until a new balance is born.

But a few days ago, several other rivals of His Majesty the King's biggest rivals died suddenly, and the King took advantage of the fire to loot and swallowed up almost half of the opponent's family's power.

The two nobles died so strangely that even the Minister of Defense could not tell how they died. Although the families behind the two nobles are still investigating the cause of their deaths, it is predictable that this kind of thing must be a Headless Koan.

"Could it be..."

"That's right, I like Konoha ninjas who take private jobs. It's really convenient to solve problems with money."

The king raised his glass in a good mood: "By the way, I'm going to meet with this person from Konoha later to discuss dealing with the remaining forces that may exist in the Akatsuki organization. You should come along."
