Pirate's Divergence

Chapter 33 Shields Town
On the port of Shields Town, the navy pushed out the pounders one by one, aimed at the Golden Merry approaching ahead, and opened fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

More than a dozen shells roared in, but in this pirate world where the shelling hit rate was extremely low, apart from stirring up a little water column, it had no effect.

"Sauron! Sanji!"

"understand!"

Zoro and Sanji jumped forward and dealt with the shells that might hit the Merry one after another, while Julian also tossed coins one after another and fired an electromagnetic cannon to destroy those shells in the air.

The 3 major forces of the Julian Pirates formed an absolute defense at this time, and no shell attack could cause any damage to the Mei Li.

The navy on the pier looked at the shells that exploded in the air, and their jaws dropped in shock: "How is it possible, all our shells were intercepted by them, are the pirates on that pirate ship all monsters?"

"boom!"

I saw a ball of flames coming out of the gun muzzle of the bow of the Mei Li, and a shell roared in, just hitting the navy on the pier impartially, and exploded.

The explosion of the shell accidentally affected the ammunition box placed next to the pounder gun, causing a martyrdom explosion. In an instant, small mushroom clouds rose everywhere on the entire pier, and the entire pier was "rumbling", as if the earth was shaking. generally.

Julian looked at it and praised again and again: "Usopp, well done, it's a martyrdom!"

Usopp touched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe it's the favor of Goddess of Luck, I didn't expect that it would cause a martyrdom, hahaha."

At this time, the navy in the port collapsed, and wounded sailors fell to the ground everywhere, clutching their wounds, bleeding, and moaning.The other uninjured sailors were not much better. They were all in a mess. Usopp's shelling directly blew them out of courage. They got up, left their partners and turned around and ran: "No, we are not the opponents of this group of pirates. Go to Colonel Monka for help!"

Julian looked at the navy running away on the pier, and said with a relaxed smile: "The landing battle has been won, brothers, sail into the port and enter Shields Town!"

A moment later, when the five people stepped into Shields Town, what they saw was the dilapidated appearance of the town.There is no one on the not-so-spacious street, and the houses on both sides are also full of dust.

In the original book, although the town of Shields is ruled by Monka, it is not so desolate.But when Julian looked at the huge statue on the island, Julian was also a little relieved.If Monka enslaved the residents of Shields Town to build statues, it might indeed cause the entire town to be ruined.

Julian glanced at the street again, and it was indeed very different from the original book.Suddenly at a corner, Julian found a little girl poking out half of her head to observe her. Seeing that she was found, the little girl ran out of the corner in a panic, and then ran towards the distance on the street. go.

A burlap dress, dusty and patched, like a Cinderella.Wearing a dark blue linen turban, and carrying a small basket with many holes in his hand.If you just look at it from the clothes, it's still so simple and cute.But Julian knew that it was definitely a difficult life to dress like this.

"Huh? Little girl?"

Julian was taken aback for a moment, he was a little surprised that a little girl appeared on this deserted street.But as soon as the words fell, as if frightened by Julian's voice, the little girl kicked her toes directly on the paving stones, "Aiya" fell flat, and the small basket in her hand flew out with a "swish" .

Sanji's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, so he flew over, hugged the little girl's waist, and held her in mid-air. He was very gentlemanly and concerned: "Beautiful lady, your knight is here, is there any injury?"

Misty Grass, Julian yelled in his heart: "I'm just a child, Sanji, you beast, you won't even let Loli go."

However, although Sanji caught the little girl and prevented her from falling to the ground, the bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground and was overturned directly.I saw two bun-sized yellow dough inside rolling out "lostly", turning around a few times, and the ground was covered with dust.

At this time, the little girl looked at the two balls of dough covered with mud and dust with tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry, "Ah, my dough~"

At this time, Usopp came up, crossed his waist, looked at Sanji, and complained: "Sanji, you made my little sister cry."

"How can I, this lady's dough fell to the ground." Sanji put the little girl down and patted the ashes on her body.Then he picked up the dough, pursed his lips and said to himself, "Eh, the dough is already dirty."

Seeing the little girl looking at the two dirty dough in Sanji's hands, she was about to cry.I saw Sanji "hiss" and tore off the skin of the dough, handed the whole dough to the little girl again, and said with a smile: "Hey, miss, your knight has already cut the skin for you. The dust has been cleaned, and it can be used with confidence, as a chef, I assure you, there is absolutely no problem."

The little girl looked at the two doughs handed over by Sanji with a look of surprise.You must know that the skin of the dough is less than 1 mm, and the gentle elder brother with curly eyebrows actually tore off the skins of the two doughs completely, which is simply amazing.

The little girl took Sanji's dough in a panic, and said a little shyly, "Thank you...thank you."

The four of Julian also came up to meet them, propped their knees, bent down, and asked with a kind smile on their faces: "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl looked at the four of Julian with a look of fear. After all, he saw that this group of people seemed to be exchanging fire with the navy here. They should be pirates.

Finally, he glanced at Sanji next to him, and his fear dissipated a bit.Put the dough back into the basket, and said timidly, "I...my name is Lixiang."

Eh?Lixiang?Julian was startled. As a veteran sea fan, how could it be impossible for him to know this character? Is this little girl in front of him the one who gave Sauron rice balls in the original book?Although she knew such a character, she had no special physical characteristics and it was difficult for Julian to combine reality with the original.

After all, after crossing, Two-dimensional has become three-dimensional. Zoro can still rely on the green algae head, Sanji can still rely on curly eyebrows, and Usopp can still be identified by his long nose.As for Lixiang, Julian really didn't recognize her, she just took it as a cute little girl.

However, the Lixiang in front of me seems to be a little thinner than the Lixiang in the original book, probably due to malnutrition.

But why Lixiang appeared in this deserted street, Julian asked curiously: "Lixiang, where are you going? Why is there no one on the street?"

Lixiang looked at the basket in her hand, suddenly thought of something, and reacted: "Ah, I have to go home and bring the dough to my mother. She hasn't eaten for 5 days."

The four of Sanji were stunned. They haven't eaten for 4 days. What happened in this town?Look at Lixiang again, she looks sallow and thin, and she probably hasn't eaten much.Julian could probably guess that all of this has absolutely nothing to do with Monka.

At this time, Julian had a gloomy face and ordered: "Soron, Usopp, go to the boat and get something."

"Yes!"

After arriving at Lixiang's house, it can be said that the house is bare. Except for a bed, the only few cabinets are wide open. There is nothing in it, covered with a thick layer of dust, and there are cobwebs in the corners.

And Lixiang's mother was also lying on the bed, dying.Lixiang ran over holding the yellow dough, and said with snot and tears: "Mom! Mom! I found something to eat! Woooooo! Mom!"

"Li... Xiang...?" Mom's voice was a little weak, lying on the boat, her eyes rolled slightly, she glanced at Julian, Sanji and Keby from the corner of her eye, and said slightly: "Li Xiang, they...are your friend?"

Lixiang nodded, handed the dough to her mother, cried, bit her lips and said, "Well, they helped me just now."

At this time, Lixiang's mother showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "Really... thank you..."

At this time, Sauron and Usopp also came in with all kinds of food, and Usopp even shouted: "Julian, the food is here!"

Julian nodded and ordered, "Sanji!"

Sanji walked up to Lixiang at this time, squatted down, gently took the dough from Lixiang's hand, and said slowly: "Miss Lixiang, weak patients cannot eat this kind of dough."

Lixiang looked at Sanji with tears in her eyes: "But mom..."

Sanji smiled and comforted: "I'm a cook, don't worry Miss Lixiang, we brought the ingredients, and I will make a bowl of porridge for my mother myself."

Looking at Sanji with a gentle face, Lixiang finally nodded heavily: "I believe in you."

"Julian!"

"coming!"

As soon as Sanji's voice fell, Julian opened his hands, and the flames burned in Julian's hands with a "huhu".At this time, Usopp put a pot of pot with a lot of water on Julian's hand, and said, "Zoro!"

Zoro directly scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it into the pot. At this time, Sanji had already taken out a kitchen knife, cut the pork into small diced meat with two “swipes” and sprinkled it into the pot.Immediately afterwards, the lid of the pot was closed with a "bang", and ordered: "Julian, fire!"

"understand!"

Kebi, Lixiang and their mother were dumbfounded by the operation of the four, and they cooperated seamlessly.However, this kind of operation is also something that Julian has nothing to do when he is free, and occasionally plays with three people on the boat, but he did not expect that it can be used for practical purposes now.

The flame was burning "huhuhu", and after a while, smoke came out of the pot. Sanji gave a look, and Yulian immediately turned off the fire.And Sanji opened the lid of the pot, and the steam wafted out with a slight smell of meat.

Immediately afterwards, Sanji sprinkled some salt and a small handful of contrived green onions, then scooped a bowl out of the pot, brought it to Lixiang, and introduced: "Lean pork porridge, hurry up and give it to mom. "

Lixiang took the lean meat porridge with grateful eyes, and Kebi ran over very sensiblely at this time, helping Lixiang's mother to stand up, and Lixiang began to feed her mother the porridge.

After a while, Lixiang's mother recovered a little bit of complexion, her complexion was rosy, and the lean meat porridge in the bowl had been swept away.At this time, Sanji brought another small bowl and said, "Miss Lixiang, you probably haven't eaten much, so eat this bowl of porridge quickly."

Lixiang wanted to pass the bowl of porridge to her mother, but she saw her mother touching Lixiang's head and said with a slight smile, "Lixiang, you can eat it yourself."

Sanji also nodded, followed by persuasion: "There is still a lot of porridge in this pot, enough to eat."

At this time, Lixiang completely put down her guard against Julian and the others, and readily accepted the help of Julian and the others.

After recovering a little bit, when Julian asked Xiang Lixiang's mother why the town fell to this point, Lixiang's mother sighed and said, "It's all because of Colonel Mengka."

And Keby on the side also looked livid, this is the dark side of the navy, the world he will have to face in the future.

"Colonel Monka ruled the town of Shields. He enslaved everyone here. Anyone who dared to resist him would be killed mercilessly by him. In order to build the huge statue, he took the town Almost all of them went to work as coolies. No one could escape, either they were killed by Mengka’s lackeys, or they died of starvation and exhaustion on the construction site, hoot..."

Speaking of Lixiang's mother, she covered her face and began to cry, Yuri reassured: "As expected, I guessed it right."

Looking at Keby with a livid face, Zoro and Sanji with gloomy faces, Usopp full of anger, and poor Lixiang, Julian squeezed his fist and said: " Mother Lixiang, don't worry, the few of us, our Julian Pirates, will definitely save everyone from the reign of terror of that guy Monka."

Lixiang naturally saw the battle between Julian and the navy in the harbor just now. She knew Julian's strength, looked at Julian excitedly, and said happily: "Really, thank you so much, Brother Julian!"

Julian smiled lightly and said, "It must."

At this time, there were waves of footsteps outside the house, and someone could still be heard shouting: "Here! I saw those pirates led into this room by the little girl from the town just now!"

Lixiang, Lixiang's mother, and Kebi's expressions changed: "It's the Navy!"

However, Julian grinned and said, "Brothers, roll up your sleeves and get ready to join the navy!"
