One Piece Overlord
Chapter 38, Ghost Night Walk
In the month after the war ended, Saul stayed in the Chambord Islands for a period of time. During this period, he met a blind gambler and a little girl who could do divination.
At that time, Saul wanted to rob the little girl for his own use, but after realizing that the blind gambler was unusual, he backed down and asked the little girl to help him perform a divination.
There is such a sentence in the prophecy poem of divination:
The king will replace the faceless man when the ghosts walk in the night.
At that time, Thor could still wonder, who is the faceless man? What's the benefit of replacing him.
It wasn't until he learned the true identity of the king that Saul suddenly realized that he was referring to the throne of this country.
And things are just like the prophetic poem. Everything that happened along the way verified the authenticity of the prophetic poem one by one.
Sol regretted a little. If he had taken the little girl away forcibly, wouldn't many of his things have been much smoother?
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and the two of them don't know when they will meet again.
The clock strikes midnight, and Kyoto’s nightlife has just begun.
The commotion that occurred a few mornings ago could not stop the locals' wild enthusiasm.
This kind of gathering of people to fight against each other happens every day, as long as the knife doesn't hit you.
In the Sakura Courtyard, Lin personally put on a red windbreaker for Sol, then carefully adjusted his collar and followed him out of the Sakura Courtyard.
Standing at the entrance of Sakura Courtyard, you can see densely packed pirates standing on the deck below, including Kuro, Minano, Yukui, and Chenlu.
A big, muscular little giant was carrying the pirate flag of the Hyakki Pirates.
Thor glanced around and saw that the shapeless pirates gave him ferocious and ugly smiles.
The blade in his hand shines like a mirror in the moonlight.
"The ghost king goes forward, followed by hundreds of ghosts."
Crow shouted loudly, and the crowd took the initiative to separate into a path.
Thor, who was carrying the prize, smiled and walked down the cherry blossom courtyard, passed through the crowd, and walked along the wooden board to the pier.
The crowd behind them laughed strangely and followed one after another. When the last person stepped onto the land, thick fog rose from the sea behind them. The thick fog followed the Hundred Ghosts and hid their figures.
The Ghost King led hundreds of ghosts towards the streets of the capital. Thick fog followed them all around.
"What's going on with this fog?"
Chen Lu gently tugged at the corner of Lin's clothes. She could see outside, but from the outside, her vision inside was blurred, and she could only see the figures poking.
"It's Thor's ability, a little trick to scare people. It's useless against experts, but against ordinary people, it can scare him to death."
Lin covered her mouth and chuckled.
In fact, many times, she felt that Sol was a genius.
"Be careful, there will be many people dragged into hell by the Hundred Demons tonight."
Crowe reminded softly that at some point, a sharp blade that was like a cat's paw and was half a meter long was put on his index finger.
Chen Lu shuddered and hid behind Lin.
"Leave that flower field to me."
Yukui pulled out his short sword.
"Can"
Sol nodded, and Yukui's figure disappeared into the thick fog.
He is a master among killers, and this kind of head-on battle is too much of a waste of his abilities.
"Hey, what's going on??"
People on the street quickly noticed something unusual.
The thick fog that spread from the end of the street quickly swallowed up the people on the street.
Once swallowed, that person will seem to disappear, silently and without any sound.
"Boss, I say, why don't we just give these grandsons a knife? It's too troublesome to knock them unconscious, and a few gangsters even started fighting against us."
The one-eyed pirate rubbed his remaining eye, his eyes were livid, it was obvious that he had been punched by someone.
It's so frustrating. For those who are not gangsters, if they are brought in, they will be knocked unconscious. It's fine for those who are timid, but it's okay for those who are anxious to jump over the wall. His eye is an example.
Crowe kicked a man in the neck, and he fainted as soon as he rolled his eyes. He won't die, but he will definitely cover his neck and scream when he wakes up tomorrow.
Crowe, who has been approved by the pirates on the ship, pushed up his glasses with his wrist and said, "You can't kill indiscriminately, and you can't cause too much commotion and sequelae. In addition, these guys can bring us a lot of benefits in the future."
The only ones in the crowd who didn't take action were Saul and Minano. One didn't want to take action, and the other didn't bother to take action.
…………
In a gang stronghold somewhere in Kyoto, a bald man with a big belly returned to Tobu impatiently.
"Stop shaking, my eyes are dazzled."
A charming woman sat on the sofa with her arms folded.
"Damn, I just feel like there's something wrong with that woman, but I can't tell what the problem is. I've been feeling restless for the past two days, and my eyelids were twitching tonight... something is going to happen."
The charming woman who had an affair with Huatian but kept it from the bald man snorted coldly and said, "You are just old and too timid. What are you afraid of? Didn't we hire several bounty hunters to protect us? What are we afraid of? Let them have something to do. Come on, you can’t just take money and do nothing, just those few people can make two million beli a day.”
The woman lit a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke from her red lips. "That woman is not a good person at first glance. She should have been killed long ago."
Thinking of the masters downstairs, the bald man felt relieved. He sighed and said, "How can this be possible? That boy in Huatian wants to lie on her belly all day long. How to do it? You haven't watched these two days. After the woman disappeared, the flower field felt as if she had lost her soul..."
The woman rolled her eyes. She was actually filled with hatred, but in front of this bald old man, she couldn't go too far.
Oh, forget it, after a while, I can be with Huatian openly.
Thinking of the old man's sweat and fat body, she couldn't help but want to vomit.
Although it was just a show, it was too difficult for her to endure.
Especially the woman who suddenly appeared some time ago to confuse Hanada, which made her want to stab the old man to death on the bed several times, then go and scratch the woman's face, and then grab her hair and ask Hanada if she liked it. I like this ugly one.
The bald man who misunderstood the woman's anger towards Ye Rose quickly sat down next to the woman, put his arm around her shoulders and shook her, saying softly, "Baby, don't be angry. That annoying woman is gone now."
The woman knocked his hand off and rolled her eyes at him, "An eyesore? It's just eye candy. I see you didn't move your eyes away when you saw that vixen."
The bald old man chuckled.
........................
In the Kyoto Palace, a masked man sat on the throne. There were more than ten people in the two rows below, all of whom were senior officials of this large country with a population of more than one million.
These ministers, all with gray beards, lowered their heads respectfully and listened to the instructions of the people above them.
After all, the powerful ministers are different from ordinary people who are ignorant. They know many inside stories.
However, they didn't understand why the king didn't let them announce the truth and let them straighten their backs to let those ignorant gossips have spit on their faces.
After all, according to a certain minister, we old immortals can't be beaten, but when it comes to swearing, there are really not many opponents.
After the ending, an old man with snow-white hair standing at the front raised his head slightly and looked at the king who was sitting on the throne and was getting thinner day by day, and now his figure was out of shape.
He said in a trembling voice, "King, you don't have to be like this. As long as we are willing to pay some price for the pirates and gangsters, the navy will naturally deal with them. Under your leadership, this country is very good... very good..."
The masked man reached out and took off his mask, revealing a waning face, and whispered something that made everyone present shed tears.
said the king.
"I am tired and want to take a rest..."
When they thought that the king, who was only in his fifties, looked like this, all the veterans couldn't help but choke. No matter how much I wanted to persuade him, I couldn't say it out loud.
The door of the palace was pushed open, and a man in red walked in.
He walked directly towards the throne, treating all the old ministers as nothing.
The man who used brutal and bloody methods to uproot gangs in the capital overnight stood in front of the throne.
The waning emperor waved his hands to the aggrieved old ministers and said softly, "You all go down, I'll have a chat with him."
After all the veterans retired, there were only two people left in the palace hall.
Sol, who saw this luxurious palace for the first time, only looked at it for a few times before focusing on the old man wearing a crown.
Although I had seen him once before, seeing him again now was a bit shocking.
Who would have thought that such a person would be only in his fifties, and he would also be a pampered king of a country.
"I have already taken care of the relevant matters, and you can take over tomorrow."
Sol nodded. All these things were done for him, which undoubtedly saved him a lot of energy.
The man wearing the crown smiled and said, "Although they are once emperors and ministers, those old guys are very capable. If you are willing to continue to be an official, please don't refuse. But they probably won't be officials anymore. If there are any who retire and return home." , please approve and give them a traveling fee. There are a group of young generals in the army who are very good and have great potential in the future. As for the older generation, don’t even think about it, they have all died in the snowfields these years."
A generation of old kings and a new generation of kings, one speaks and the other listens.
In the end, Thor sat directly on the steps under the throne, took out a jug of wine and drank.
It's not that he's tired of the king's nagging, he just wants to accompany the old man on his last journey.
The old man who had been nagging for a long time rolled his eyes at Sol and said, "Why do you drink so hard by yourself?"
Sol had no choice but to hand over the bottle of wine with only half a bottle left.
The old man took the flask, took a swig, and said with a smile, "Kulokas has a territory of thousands of miles. Fortunately,
There is me......"
Sol turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace gate, unwilling to look at the old man who was slowly disappearing.
The last sound was the sound of the wine bottle and mask falling to the ground.
Thor, who was neither sad nor happy, turned his head, looked at the empty throne, picked up the mask and the wine bottle, and said softly.
"From now on, the rivers and mountains will be thousands of miles away. Fortunately, I, Thor, will be there."
…………
As the old king said, all the old ministers resigned one by one.
So according to the old king's wishes, Saul allowed them to resign one by one and gave them a sum of money sufficient for their retirement.
As for the second-generation young generals who succeeded their fathers, Saul went out of his way to meet them.
Although he is a young general, he is not young at all. The oldest is thirty-five years old and the youngest is eighteen.
Among this group of people, there was a pair of brothers, a team of brother and sister.
The person with the highest official position is the oldest, burly man, who is said to be extremely powerful and loyal.
After the dinner, Saul chatted with the man named Cuba for a while.
"There is a grand pass at the junction of the snowfield and Kyoto. It was built by the old king and his soldiers twenty years ago. The purpose was to withstand the great terror in the snowfield. Several of our fathers died there. If nothing else, , a few of us will also die in battle or die of old age there."
The man with a big appetite grinned, feeling a little restrained when facing this king who was younger than him.
"Although our country is a famous big country, the current situation is far from good. The most frustrating thing is that we are working hard at the border, and the people in Kyoto point at our backs and scold us for not doing business and allowing gangs to cause chaos. .”
Cuba smiled bitterly and said, "But the gang was solved by you. I am very grateful. But the old king is really good."
"is very good."
Thor echoed.
Cuba, who realized that he had said something wrong, apologized hurriedly, and Sol waved his hand to tell him not to pay too much attention.
Before leaving, Cuba said seriously to Thor, "My lord, I heard that you are a pirate, and you are as strong as a monster. Our brothers at the border do not ask for any rewards or official positions, we only ask for you. Come to the border to see the brothers when you have time."
Finally, after hesitating for several times, he finally plucked up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, if you could allow someone to use more than a hundred words in the history books of this country to record our group of soldiers who have guarded the border for generations, we would be grateful. Even if he dies, he dies with a smile.”
Thor nodded and just said yes.
Following the afterglow of the setting sun, a group of young generals walked out of the capital...
