The strongest sea god of pirates

Chapter 193 Martin's Trouble

The arranged living room, which belongs to the side hall of the palace, is as luxurious as ever. Although the Lord Augustus is only the overlord of one party, no one knows that in this seaport city, this middle-aged man with tough tactics is the emperor.

The outstanding waitress Agnes stood respectfully aside, her eyes fixed on Arthur.

Perhaps it was out of curiosity, more likely it was admiration from the heart, and Arthur was a distinguished guest of Master Martin. No matter what Arthur asked, Agnes would always respond immediately.

The fresh and elegant black tea with a little sweetness made Arthur full of praise.

After an unknown amount of time, Martin returned to the living room. It seemed that the matter had been resolved. It was more likely that Arthur beat George up. In short, Martin had a bright smile and a handsome appearance. He was indeed the standard prince charming in the hearts of some girls. .

"Brother Arthur, I have kept you waiting, please come with me!"

"Where are you going?" Arthur asked casually.

"Of course it's for the big brother and Miss Marina!" Martin explained with a chuckle.

A group of people quickly came to the banquet hall. Before the huge long table, a group of servants had already been waiting on the ground. When Martin entered, everyone knelt down and saluted him respectfully.

As Arthur took his seat, many delicacies were placed on a huge long table.

It's just that Martin quickly discovered that Arthur didn't seem to be interested in these delicacies, and he just looked at him calmly. Although Marina, who was sitting by the side, wanted to eat, she was only obedient as she saw that Arthur didn't move her chopsticks. sit aside.

"Brother Arthur, don't these meals taste like you, why don't I ask the chef to cook them again!" Martin didn't care, and said to Arthur straightforwardly, his words were full of respect, and there was no seat for the city lord. The arrogance of the son.

The more we got in touch, Martin became more and more sure that Arthur in front of him was not simple. Whether it was his demeanor, his style of dealing with things, or his powerful strength, he must not be an ordinary person. Even in Martin's view, Arthur's strength was far superior to that of his master and comrade-in-arms. Above the head of the regiment, and he did ask for something, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Arthur back.

"Come on, Martin, I can think about other things besides the cyan glass vial!" Arthur said.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Arthur knows this very well. If he hadn't been strong back then, he might not only have to pay the 5000 million yuan in compensation, but he might even walk out of August Harbor City, but this is also normal, as birds of a feather always flock together People are divided into groups, if you don't have strength and don't work hard, no one will look at you high.

Frankly speaking, Arthur is very optimistic about Martin. With his straightforward personality, good strength, and honest heart, he is still young now. I believe that after a few more years of hard work, he must be a great character.

One more friend is better than one more enemy. Although Arthur is very strong, it doesn't mean he is invincible.

What's more, Arthur really needed a new ship, and it was a large sea-going ship.

The reason for this decision is because the pirate leader Fillmore challenged Arthur, but he survived after being hit by Arthur. It happened that Arthur needed a pirate who knew the road conditions. Otherwise, with Arthur's ability to get lost , I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Dressrosa for the rest of my life.

And that pirate leader, Fillmore, admired Arthur to the extreme, but he was unwilling to leave behind his fellow pirates.

Regarding this point, Arthur didn't say much, so it was necessary to build a large sea-going ship of top quality. Naturally, it was not an easy task to obtain such a sea-going ship in Harbor City. Not only did it require a lot of money but also It will take time, and the shipyard will have to obtain the approval of the city lord to start construction. These problems can be easily solved for Martin.

The two sides are mutually beneficial, and Arthur has roughly guessed what Martin wants, so it is better to get straight to the point.

Hearing Arthur's question, Martin's face was a little embarrassed, but he had a thick skin after being exposed to it since he was a child, and he quickly became calm.

Martin has always treated people with sincerity, and he has always been friends with those who can see through his eyes, but Arthur in front of him is different. Strong strength is more important to him, and he becomes utilitarian if he asks for others, and now Arthur can see through it at a glance. It would embarrass Martin a bit.

"Brother Arthur, please Haihan, brother, I do have a heartless request!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Seeing that Master Martin had important matters to discuss with the guests, all the servants bowed respectfully and left the hall one after another.

Marina also stood up, but when she was about to leave, Arthur grabbed her and pressed her on the seat and said calmly, "It's okay, just listen!"

For a moment, Marina's heart trembled, and while being moved, she carefully looked at Arthur's face and back, and was full of thoughts for a while.

Martin didn't mind either. After the many servants left, he stood up and came to Arthur, and said helplessly, "Brother Arthur, to tell the truth, I need your help to win the position of city lord!" Martin's eyes were full of eagerness.

Arthur's heart moved. It seems that although this Martin looks straightforward, he is still very urgent for the position of city lord. However, the House of Lords has always been like this. It cannot be said that Martin is wrong, but often fighting for power and profit means bloody fighting, that is, Said Martin was ready to kill his brothers and sisters.

"Brother Arthur, you must have misunderstood, the position of city lord is for the third brother!" Martin explained dumbfoundingly.

Martin has been paying attention to the changes in Arthur's expression. Although Arthur's face is expressionless, the changes in his eyes are hard to hide.

"I just have one question. Your father is still alive. Is your plan to fight for power to get the approval of the city lord, or you plan to usurp the power directly? I need a clear answer!" Arthur's tone became colder.

It can be said that Arthur's question is very explicit and aggressive. This tone is obviously not the tone of conversation with a city lord, but Arthur doesn't care about this. In his opinion, he can help Martin, but if it is such a treasonous patricide Therefore, Arthur will naturally have to reconsider his partnership with Martin.

Although Arthur wanted a large sea-going ship, it did not mean that he would kill innocent people indiscriminately for Martin. This was a matter of principle.

In many cases, it is always difficult to uphold principles, but with Arthur's identity and strength, he doesn't need to care about anyone or anything.

If Martin's explanation is not satisfied, Arthur doesn't mind turning around and leaving. If Martin chases him ignorantly and wants to cover up this secret, then Arthur will not be polite, even if he destroys the entire August Huagang City. .

Although Martin said that he was fighting for the position of city lord for the third brother that Arthur had never met, but no matter how he heard it, the words at this time were very pale.

It's hard to imagine that a person who deliberately wants to fight for the position of city lord is actually fighting for someone else. If Martin hadn't been a little more sincere, I'm afraid Arthur would have left already. All of this sounds too unbelievable.

"Brother Arthur, you won't believe it, but in fact, the truth is true. In order to protect our brothers, the three of us were plotted against by the so-called big brother George, and became permanently disabled. Now, my father's health is declining. It is no longer able to control August Harbor City, especially the city defense force!"

"When I took you into the palace, my father called me to my side to explain this matter!"

"However, George obviously placed an eyeliner around his father. He had already learned everything the first time his father explained to me. Presumably this is also the main reason for his anger!" Martin said very frankly.

"What do you think, Marina!" Arthur suddenly turned his head and looked at Marina who was sitting beside him thinking about something.

"Ah, I, I think what Master Martin said is true!" Marina was taken aback, but said quickly.

"Why are you so eager, but your father didn't abdicate in the way of passing on the throne. I believe there must be a reason for it. Since you want me to help you, it's best to be open and honest!" Arthur said very calmly.

"As expected of Brother Arthur, I really can't hide anything from you!"

Martin's face suddenly became a little heavy, and he said very seriously: "Brother Arthur doesn't know something, the person who passed on the throne from father is indeed not the third brother, but passed on the position of city lord to me, which is why George was furious, I swear to God , will definitely hand over the position of city lord to the third brother, one must know how to be grateful!"

"Actually, the reason for this is so urgent, and the father is not abdicating, in fact, he has some scruples!"

"How do you say, does August harbor city still have the existence that can threaten the rights of the city owner!" Arthur asked in surprise.

Martin smiled wryly, and said to Arthur: "Actually, it is the most elite city defense force that can really threaten the rights of the city lord. They are the sword of the city lord, and they are also a threat to the city lord, especially after George dismissed the former commander-in-chief of the city defense force, Bray. Deli, after calling himself the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, a battle for power may occur at any time!"

"The one who came with you earlier, the one in the blue armor?" Arthur asked.

"That's right, he is Bradley, the former commander-in-chief of the city defense army, and now he is just a squad leader!" Martin replied.

"That means you plan to rely on this Bradley to forcefully support your three to become the new city lord!" Arthur said thoughtfully.

"That's right, Bradley hates George to the core, and he has a group of diehards who have been personally promoted. They can help us in the incident. Of course, I need Brother Arthur to help me, but the most important thing right now is, First of all, we must solve the troubles of the comrades-in-arms group!" Martin looked at Arthur with hot eyes, but when he mentioned the comrades-in-arms group, his eyes seemed apologetic.

"A group of comrades?"

Arthur was a little curious. This comrade-in-arms group seemed to be very famous, and many residents of Harbor City seemed to know about this organization. Judging from the rumors, Martin seemed to have become the closed disciple of the head of the comrade-in-arms group, but judging from Martin's conversation at this time , it seems that it is very difficult to join the comrades-in-arms group.

"The Comrades in Arms is a free mercenary organization that is well-known in Harbor City. As long as they can pay enough money, they can get their support. However, they also have a principle that they will not participate in the struggle for the rights of the city lord, that is to say No one will support it!" Martin explained with a wry smile.

"That is to say, if you join the comrade-in-arms group, you will become an outsider, and you will not be allowed to participate in the struggle for power!" Arthur said deeply.

"That's right, that's exactly the case, and the rules of the battle group are very strict. If I still participate in the power struggle after joining the comrade-in-arms group, I am afraid that I will be executed by the comrade-in-arms group as a traitor. Since the establishment of the comrade-in-arms group, no traitor has ever survived!"

Arthur finally understood that it was no wonder Martin was so troubled. Now he was the closed disciple of the head of the Comrades in Arms, which meant that he was already a member of the Comrades in Arms, so according to the rules, he could not participate in the competition for the position of the city lord, let alone He couldn't help his third brother, but without Martin's support, I'm afraid that his three brothers would not be George's opponents at all, and George would definitely take the position of city lord.

However, this incident also shows from another aspect that Martin really has no intention of competing for the position of the city lord, otherwise he would not take the initiative to join the comrades-in-arms group, and now that he is a member of the comrades-in-arms group, he cannot participate in it according to the rules, but Martin obviously He doesn't intend to let George, who is full of crimes, get his wish. Sure enough, for Martin, the comrades-in-arms group has become the biggest trouble now.

"Brother Arthur, please help me!" Martin suddenly knelt down and begged.

"I'm not without conditions!" Arthur responded indifferently.

"Please tell me!" Martin was delighted. Since there are conditions, it means that this matter can be discussed. What he fears most is Arthur's direct veto.

"I need a ship that can go to sea!"

Arthur only said one sentence, but the meaning expressed in it was already very clear, and everything depended on Martin's decision.

"It turned out to be so simple, Brother Arthur, you scared me. Even if there was no such thing, I would build an ocean-going ship for my brother, and I promise to build the best ocean-going ship in the shortest possible time. Sea ship!" Hearing Arthur's request, Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For a seaport city, building seagoing ships is the most basic industry. Since Arthur made a request, Martin will naturally urge the shipyard to give priority to the manufacture of Arthur's ocean-going ships.

"Then Brother Arthur, why don't we go to the comrade-in-arms group as soon as possible!?" Martin said eagerly.

For Martin, the matter is very urgent. His father is seriously ill. George and his mother have been coveting the position of mayor for a long time. There is not much time left for Martin. Fortunately, George was severely injured by Arthur and is now in a coma. Waking up, bought him time.

First of all, the first thing to do is to temporarily get rid of the comrades-in-arms association, even if he will be punished in the future, it’s okay, but now he can’t be a member of the comrades-in-arms association, if so, once the eldest son George becomes the city lord, not only the brothers and sisters are likely to be executed , even the Comrades may be uprooted, which is something Martin never wants to see.

"No hurry, give me half a day to think about it!" Before Martin could speak, Arthur picked up Marina and disappeared into the banquet hall in an instant.

Martin was a little bit dumbfounded for a while, but he quickly realized that he was indeed in a difficult situation. This was a battle to overthrow a royal power, and the danger was naturally extraordinary. Besides, Arthur was just an outsider, and the two parties were just ordinary friends. To be honest, it was really unnecessary Die for him.

It took half a day to think about it, which was not bad. Martin forced himself to calm down. He could only secretly pray that George would not recover so quickly and buy him more time. At this time, Martin, as a member of the comrades-in-arms group, was really restrained in doing things. Even when talking to Bradley, the former city defense commander, Martin's attitude was very conservative, which made Bradley a little dissatisfied.

Now I can only expect Arthur to return as soon as possible. As long as the troubles of the Comrades Association are resolved, and when he regains his freedom, he can fully participate in the battle against the eldest son George and help the third brother obtain the position of city lord as soon as possible.

Arthur hugged Marina and left the palace immediately.

In fact, Arthur still has some doubts about what Martin said, and it is almost certain that the other party has reservations, but from all aspects, what Martin said is probably true, and Arthur values ​​​​this young man very much and helps him It doesn't matter.

In fact, at that time, he could have agreed on the spot. The so-called half-day consideration time was because Arthur had some things to deal with first.

"Mr. Arthur, will you help Master Martin?" Marina asked timidly in a low voice.

"What do you think?" Arthur asked.

"I think so, because Mr. Arthur is a very responsible person!" Marina said without thinking.

"Don't think I'll let you off because you praise me!" Arthur smiled lightly.

"Ah!" Marina trembled all over, and suddenly became nervous.

"Next, you follow my arrangement, don't ask why!" Before Arthur finished speaking, a group of two people had already arrived at the dock.

Seeing Arthur hugging a handsome girl, Alicia's eyes flashed a trace of resentment, while Natasha snorted coldly. Sure enough, as she said, men don't have a good thing, and you can only come to Harbor City for less than a month. One day, he came back with a girl in his arms again, he was simply a flower picker.

Natasha has already made up her mind that she must prevent Her Lady Queen from marrying this flirtatious man, and she must report today's matter in detail.

A group of pirates who were being treated as coolies and who dared to work on the dock, when they saw Arthur coming back with a handsome girl in his arms, they secretly sighed, this person is really incomparable to others, some even deliberately to get angry Natasha and Alicia applauded Arthur loudly.

"Natasha, take all the pirates back to the pirate ship immediately, and I will give you an hour to prepare supplies and leave this harbor city immediately, and come back in three days!" Arthur said.

Natasha was very dissatisfied with Arthur bringing the girl back, and wanted to refute, but seeing Arthur's cold eyes, she shut her mouth immediately.

Arthur came to Alicia, handed Marina to her, and said very seriously: "Alicia, follow this girl, bring a group of children, and leave this place temporarily after meeting Natasha and the others. Harbor City!"

Alicia was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that she had misunderstood. The relationship between this girl and Lord Arthur was not what she imagined.

But he quickly thought of something, and asked Arthur slightly worried: "Master Arthur, is there any trouble, I am willing to stay and fight together!" Alicia volunteered.

"No need, there is going to be a good show here, and I want to be in it and play a role!" Arthur responded with a chuckle.

Hearing what Arthur said, Alicia no longer persisted. She was very clear about Arthur's strength. He believed that no one in this harbor city could hurt even a strong man who could defeat an epic dragon. To Lord Arthur.

After explaining everything, Arthur moved towards the palace, the matter has been settled, and the good show should follow.
