traveler among pirates

Chapter 2 The palace banquet is in turmoil
Xiaoyu walked behind Hughes, looking at Hughes curiously.

"Master Hughes, why do you like to sit on Lord Sakuragami?"

"Because the scenery there is good."

While Hughes responded, he subconsciously glanced at the distant mountains.

"Master Nasius, do you know why the mountains there are always emitting smoke?"

Hughes looked in the direction of Xiaoyu's finger, which was exactly where Hughes had glanced before.

"I don't know, maybe it's a volcano or something."

"Huh~ Volcano. The volcano is really powerful. It is smoking every day, and I always feel that there are a few mountains there. Are there a few missing? Master Hughes, do you know?"

With surprise and doubt on Xiaoyu's face, she looked strangely at the distant mountain range filled with smoke and dust.

Every time she came to call Hughes, there was always smoke and dust billowing there, and the smoke and dust was even worse today.

"What happened in the palace recently?"

Hughes ignored Xiaoyu's question and asked Xiaoyu casually.

"Hmm~ It seems to be nothing. Oh! By the way, there seems to be an extra guest in the palace recently. Also, I seemed to see the First Prince sneaking out of the palace at night. I don't know where he went."

"Oh, by the way, that guest looks terrible, with scars all over his face."

After speaking, Xiaoyu's body trembled slightly, like a frightened little animal.

"Scar, are you a pirate?"

"Oh, and, I seem to have heard recently that the tsunami in the small town of Lu Yaya has suddenly increased a lot, and I don't know why now."

"Tsunami."

'Obviously already so far away, how could there be a tsunami? '

"Is there anything wrong with that town?"

Hughes asked carefully.

"The tsunami did not cause any damage, because when we arrived in the town, the tsunami was already very small. According to Grandpa Carter, more fish were caught there recently because of those waves."

"I'll just say it."

"What? Sir Hughes, did you say anything?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Hughes didn't plan to ask Xiaoyu anything, after all, she was just a little maid, especially since she was Hughes' little maid, she wouldn't know much.

-

"Master Hughes, don't you need to change your clothes again?"

"No, you go back first."

With that said, Hughes pushed open the gate of the royal palace, but the guards outside the gate did not respond.

After seeing Hughes, they all lowered their heads, not even having the courage to look directly at him.

A banquet was being held inside the door. The moment Hughes opened the door, the music, singing and dancing in the palace stopped, and everyone in the hall looked straight at Hughes.

When the ministers saw Hughes, they turned their backs, whispered, and occasionally looked at Hughes with a smirk, as if they were waiting to see some joke.

Hughes looked at the scene in front of him casually, without saying anything.

He just walked straight to the top of the banquet hall, beside his seat, the guest was also there.

Hughes stood in front of his seat, casually looking at the king's new guest.

When the scarred face saw Hughes, he was still eating meat and drinking, and didn't take Hughes seriously.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaoyu is right, she is really ugly enough."

"Ah! What are you talking about! These are scars of honor! What do people like you know!"

"I haven't said where it's ugly."

"It must be my face! For sure! It's not what I think, why does everyone say me! Woooooo~"

After hearing Hughes' evaluation of himself, the scarred face became angry, and finally burst into tears, tears streaming down his face.

"Damn it! Anyone who makes fun of me will die!"

He stood up yelling, and raised his fist to hit Hughes in the face. Hughes looked at this with disgust, the fist full of oil.

Seeing that Hughes didn't respond to his fist, the man with the scar looked like he had succeeded in his plot.

'Puff puff puff!Stupid guy, my fist can pierce even stones, a man known as the king of destruction. '

"go to hell!"

Just when Scarface fantasized about the handsome face of Hughes, he was punched by himself.

He suddenly found that his fist seemed unable to move.

"Ah!"

He looked at his outstretched fist, and one hand was firmly grasped on his wrist. No matter how hard he struggled, his right hand just didn't move.

"It's so boring, is this the strength?"

"hateful!"

Just when the man was about to smash his left fist at Hughes.

Hughes exerted force with his left hand, and with a click, Scarface's right wrist bone was scratched and cracked. Although Hughes would be fine even if he was hit, he just disliked the opponent's hand, it was disgusting.

"what!."

Because of the severe pain from his wrist, Scarface knelt down involuntarily, and his left hand desperately pulled Hughes' left hand, but it didn't help.

Hughes turned his head and glanced at the ministers below.

Gudong.

After the ministers came into contact with Hughes' gaze, they all avoided, not daring to look directly at Hughes.

After all, they didn't expect that a man who could crush a rock with a single punch would be unable to pass even a single blow in front of Hughes.

They saw the pirate with their own eyes back then, smashing a rock as tall as a person with one punch.

But looking at the current situation, this person is useless at all.

Seeing the Scarface pirate who was still screaming, Hughes flicked his hand, and Scarface was thrown flying in an instant, smashing hard on the palace gate.

A large hole was smashed out of the gate, and smoke and dust filled the entrance of the palace.

The hall that was quiet for a second was instantly filled with screams and wailing.

Hughes swept across everyone in the palace, and said lightly: "Quiet."

The last second was like a busy hall, but it became quiet instantly, and everyone fell silent.

They felt as if they were being targeted by some terrible beast.

Everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, with fear on their faces, and cold sweat dripping from their bodies, but no one dared to move, let alone look at Hughes.

"monster"

The king just looked at Hughes in a daze and muttered.

Hughes glanced at the king, withdrew his momentum, and sat down in his seat.

"The party continues"

At the banquet, everyone's actions were as stiff as puppets, and no one in the hall dared to make a sound except for the music played.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to make any noise, for fear that they would be targeted by Hughes.

Hughes sat in the upper seat drinking a glass of wine, quietly enjoying the 'puppet' performance below, and quietly waiting for the end of the banquet.

After a long ordeal, the banquet was finally over.

The ministers and dancers below showed joy, but their movements were very careful, and they all quietly exited through the hole from the gate.

No one dared to make a loud noise or complain.

Only Hughes, the king and the eldest prince were left in the palace.

Hughes raised his glass and looked at the man sitting beside him, "What's the matter? My lord father."

The king trembled visibly when he heard Hughes calling him.

Hughes glanced at the man sitting on the other side, that is, Hughes' brother, the king's eldest prince.

The eldest prince, since Hughes entered this hall, has been in an ostrich state, looking down at the table in front of him, motionless.

"Hughes. I. Want you to leave this country!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the king regretted it, and his face was stiff. He didn't know how he dared and how he could just say what he really thought deep in his heart.

He only knew that he might be finished, so he quickly fell to his knees and kowtowed on the floor desperately.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I said something wrong just now, Hughes! Please forgive me!"

Now he only hopes that Hughes will not kill himself, and for himself, let alone his biological father, forgive himself.
