Arkham in the pirate world

After drinking and eating, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp all leaned back, looking happy, and patting their stomachs.

"Ah, so full"

"Three guests, it's time to pay the bill when you're full."

The waiter in the restaurant pulled out a list of bills, quickly quoted the name and price of each dish on the bill, and finally said, "The three guests spent a total of 79 Beli in this restaurant. If you round up, it will be 80 Beli." profit"

"How much, how much?" Usopp asked nervously.

The waiter looked at the bill again to make sure he made no mistake and said, "Yes, it's 80 Baileys."

Luffy has no idea about money and just said "Zoron, pay"

"Ah, I don't have any money Usopp" Zoro looked at Usopp.

Usopp felt a pain and went to take out his wallet, while saying, "You two guys must have eaten too much."

When his hand touched the bag, Usopp was stunned for a moment, then took the bag to the table and started rummaging around, sweat dripping from his forehead.

The waiter narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Does this guest mean to say that his wallet was stolen?"

Usopp turned the bag upside down and poured out everything, but couldn't find his wallet. Hearing what the waiter said, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my wallet was stolen. I clearly remembered to put it in here." , but, look”

"Ever since that incident three years ago, no one has dared to come to Barati Restaurant to have a meal." The waiter rolled up his sleeves.

"What, someone is eating Overlord's meal?" At this time, a group of fierce chefs ran out of the kitchen, headed by Chef Paddy.

When Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp saw the battle, they immediately turned around and ran away.

"Get 'em" Paddy shouted.

After the naval fleet escorting the inspection group arrived at the territorial waters of the Earl of Arkham, it did not follow the inspection group. Instead, it stopped outside the territorial waters as a deterrent. Only the large ship of the inspection group came towards the territory.

Compared with the port outside Cocosia City, the port outside Kesha City does not have many berthed ships. Although the two cities are located on the same island, the positioning of the two cities is different, and the development conditions are naturally different. The former focuses on economy. The latter is centered on politics.

In order to prepare for the arrival of the inspection team, the ships, which were not many in the first place, have been cleared by the officials and moved to other places to berth.

At this time, as the ship of the expedition group flying the flag of the World Government gradually approached, at the port, specially selected audiences held up banners on the shore, waved colorful flags, and a drum and orchestra played cheerful music. .

At the pier, the red carpet was rolled out, and Lister, dressed in formal attire, led Mayor Brandi and other city hall officials to watch the ship dock.

Soon, World Government officials, surrounded by a tall dark-skinned Celestial Dragon wearing a square hood on his head, got off the ship.

Liszt stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed slightly, and said, "I am Liszt, and I would like to welcome Saint Charmaine and all the world government officials to visit the Earl of Arkham for inspection."

Saint Chalmac, who was wearing a white burqa and had thick lips, glanced around and frowned slightly. Unlike when he went to the Chambord Islands and other places, here, including Liszt, there were no officials or People knelt down and bowed to show respect.

Before Charmac could get angry, the World Government official who followed him spoke first. He was an official with a mustache. With the Celestial Dragon by his side, he spoke in a arrogant and sarcastic way. He said in a tone of voice, "You untouchables, why didn't you kneel down when you saw the noble Lord Chalmac?"

Liszt raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "I'm sorry, dear Lord Chalmers, there is a custom here. We only kneel to the dead. If we kneel to you, aren't we cursing you to die soon?" Oh, of course, maybe some people wish you would die early."

As he spoke, Liszt glanced at the official.

Saint Charmach's anger subsided slightly and asked, "Is there still such a custom?"

The mustachioed official was frightened by Liszt's words and immediately said, "Dear Lord Chalmers, he is completely talking nonsense. There is no such custom at all."

"Oh, you said there is no such custom. What is your evidence? Do you know this place better than me?"

As soon as Liszt stretched out his hand, the person next to him immediately handed over a booklet. Liszt said, "This is the history of the Minada Islands. According to historical records, only the dead here can accept the kneeling of the living. Otherwise, , there will be God’s curse and punishment from heaven. I not only have physical evidence, but also human witnesses.”

Liszt clapped his hands again, and an old man dressed as an Indian and painted all over his body came forward and babbling, which made the world government officials stare.

After the natives finished speaking, Liszt said seriously to Charma Kesheng, "This is an indigenous resident of the Zhuminada Islands. He just said that the Zhuminada Islands were a place abandoned by the gods. There is a mysterious power in the place cursed by God. Therefore, we do not kneel down to you, it is entirely for the sake of your safety."

If it were anyone else, hearing Liszt's statement, their first reaction would definitely be that Liszt was talking nonsense.

In fact, world government officials, including Mustache, looked suspicious and disbelieving.

But

As a race that claims to be the descendants of "gods", the Celestial Dragons receive a different education than non-Celestial Dragons. They have extremely high worship of "gods" and believe in them. They firmly believe that there are "gods" in the world. exist.

In fact, this is a very simple refutation.

If "gods" do not exist, then if the Celestial Dragons call themselves descendants of "gods", wouldn't they be slapping themselves in the face?

The existence of "gods" is the foundation for the Celestial Dragons to fool the world.

Liszt brought out "god", whether he believed in Charmachus or not, he had to believe it

The mustachioed official's mind was spinning quickly. He immediately thought of this and said nothing.

Liszt has produced both personal and physical evidence, but he is making empty claims. How can he argue with Liszt?

If he said a few more words, the mustachioed official felt that Charma Kesheng would definitely kill him with a gun.

"Since it is your custom, then follow your custom. I am not here for such a trivial matter," said Saint Charma.

Liszt bowed slightly, and when he lowered his head, what he was thinking in his heart was, "It's not for such a trivial matter. In other words, Charma Kesheng took the initiative to join the inspection group, and it was indeed for other reasons, rather than just for a visit. Is there anything that would require the Tianlong people to go there personally?"

Liszt's mind was spinning, and soon he remembered something, the former "Helen" of Cessna Island

"Could it be that the Tianlong man behind that time is Charma Kesheng? If it is really him, he came here this time for Helen. No, Helen is dead. If the other party knew that Helen was not dead, he would have come to the door long ago. Could it be that he came here to ask questions?"

Liszt has figured out the truth. Yes, Charma Kesheng's arrival in the East China Sea is indeed a follow-up to that time.

But the purpose of Charma Kesheng coming here is neither because of Helen nor to raise an army to accuse. Because Wulaoxing concealed some information, Charma Kesheng didn’t know much about Helen’s inside story. He only thought it was a natural disaster. , instead.

The purpose of Charmaine's sainthood is actually Liszt

Liszt would never have guessed this.

Who would have thought that a Celestial Dragon would travel all the way just for a human being whom they regard as a lowly pariah?

Liszt took Charmaco and the World Government officials to the luxury hotel that was specially cleared for them and temporarily renovated.

"Lord Chalmac has a separate residence. Others have their own rooms. Our people will take you there. Later, I have invited the best chef in the East China Sea to prepare a sumptuous lunch for you. Lord Charmak has taken over the wind and washed away the dust."

Charma Kesheng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this arrangement.

After all, this is not Mariejoia. Saint Charma has visited more than a dozen kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Goa. He is quite experienced in diplomacy and is by no means the kind of Celestial Dragon who just waits for death.

Take the incident when he visited the Kingdom of Goa and bombarded Sabo's ship. From an outsider's perspective, it was indeed cruel and brutal. However, after breaking this incident apart and analyzing it carefully, from the perspective of the Celestial Dragons, Char There was no problem at all with Mark Sheng's choice.

You must understand the situation at that time. It was Saint Charmac who was visiting the Goa Kingdom on behalf of the World Government. He was under the gaze of countless citizens and eyes of the Goa Kingdom.

And Saab chose this time to go to sea, and the pirate flag was still flying on the ship.

In the eyes of Saint Charmak, this is a provocation, a provocation from the Kingdom of Goa to itself and the world government.

Then, in the face of this provocation, Saint Charma, who considers himself a ruler and represents the world government, will definitely fight back. He must defend his majesty and let the Kingdom of Goa see that the Celestial Dragons will not show any mercy to offenses. .

So Charmacos bombarded the ships flying the pirate flag.

Is there any problem with this choice?

no problem

Diplomacy between countries is not a child's play, it can lead to death.

The only problem is probably that Sabo is a child, symbolizing a vulnerable group, which makes people sympathize.

While we have this kind of sympathy, we cannot ignore Saab itself, which chose the most inappropriate time to set sail.

Of course, this does not mean that Charma Kesheng's choice is benevolent and just, but that it is reasonable to stand from the perspective of the delegation and the Tianlong people.

Weak countries have no diplomacy

This sentence is equally applicable here.

Charma Kesheng knew very well that the Goa Kingdom did not have the power to resist him. He responded to the Goa Kingdom's "provocation" with artillery fire, which was a kind of shock. The Goa Kingdom not only did not hate him, but was grateful to him. , I am glad that my country did not cause greater disaster because of that reckless guy.

The Earl of Arkham was different. After Liszt defeated "Fire Calamity" Jhin, he and his forces became a rather important role on the world stage.

So much so that the Five Old Stars were having a headache about how to deal with it, debating between "recruitment" and "suppression."

Facing such a force, Charma Kesheng will also restrain himself.

After the inspection team was settled, Liszt breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that there were no extraneous problems.

If everything goes well, then, just wait for the actors to be in place.

At this time, Peresromyu appeared and whispered a few words to Liszt.

"In this case, it's just right to lead them here. I think they will definitely make a big fuss here," Liszt said.

After Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp ran out of the Barati restaurant, they were quickly chased and intercepted by the police in the city.

And all this was in the eyes of the surveillance phone bug on the side of the road. Standing in the surveillance room, Luo Miao looked at the three people, who were about to reach the next fork in the road, and immediately said, "Let the fifth team come out."

After receiving the order, the team immediately appeared from one intersection and drove Luffy and the others to another intersection.

Luffy and the others seemed to be being driven away, bumping around like headless flies. In fact, in Romu's eyes, he was like a fisherman, driving the fish away towards a big net.

From Cocosia City to Kesha City, Luffy and the others arrived outside the building where the inspection team was located. Seeing their captors arriving, they had no choice but to escape into the building.

"The fish is in the net"

When the inspection team checked into the hotel, the entire hotel's security personnel were replaced by guards brought by the inspection team.

Charma Kesheng is surrounded by c0 elites who secretly protect him.

Therefore, a large number of police officers arrived, which attracted the attention of the inspection team's guards, and the person in charge immediately came out to inquire about the situation.

"Because there are three pirates who are causing trouble in the city, we want to bring people in to arrest them." Zangao, who is now the director of the Kesha City Branch of the City Hall Police Department, said to the tall person in charge in a black suit. .

"Pirates broke in." The person in charge frowned and glanced at Zangao and the police officers behind him.

"We will catch the pirates who break in. As for you, you can't go in."

Who knows if there are assassins among these police officers?

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Moreover, who knows if this is a trick played by the guy named Liszt?

When Zangao heard this, he immediately said, "In that case, let them be handed over to this adult. They are very vicious pirates. However, if you take action, they will be caught quickly."

Who doesn’t like to hear good words? The person in charge snorted, but still said, “Of course.”

He said to the man in the black suit beside him, "Go and see if anyone really breaks in. If so, catch them."

"Yes"

Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, to ensure safety, the guards were in the hotel and conducted a search to eliminate hidden dangers.

In the kitchen of the hotel, Sanji was packing the ingredients. He was the number one chef in the East China Sea that Lister said he invited to prepare lunch for the Draconians and World Government officials.

Of course, this name was mentioned casually by Liszt and has not been recognized by the chef community in the East China Sea at all.

嘭

The kitchen door was pushed open, Sanji turned around, and three figures ran in in a panic.
