One Piece Codex

It turns out that the reason why the curtains were not changed was not because the curtains were not dry due to the rainy weather. In fact, it was a flaw deliberately exposed, a seemingly reasonable flaw, in order to lure the assassin into taking the bait.

Levi suddenly realized a problem.

[Now that Lorna accidentally took the blame, where is the real assassin sent by Jimmy? 】

Thinking of this, he hurriedly used the magnifying glass to search for possible hiding places around the palace, and soon discovered a sneaky figure.The assassin's figure was in the shadows, and his specific appearance could not be clearly seen. He could only barely tell from the outline of the shadow that he was a tall man.

[Hmm, are you waiting to see what happens? 】

The assassin remained motionless, as if still biding his time.

Levi observed for a while and saw that the other party still showed no signs of action, so he turned to aim the double lens at the palace.

It was exactly two o'clock, and people started to go to Girod Palace one after another. These people were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They were surrounded by guards and walked into the living room one by one.

Among them, the one that attracted Li Wei the most was a giant man over three meters tall!Three meters! This is beyond Levi's cognitive range.

The arms were as thick as buckets and the body was as tall as a bear. Although the giant man's face was covered with wrinkles and his temples were gray, it was the first time for Levi to see such a powerful and imposing figure.

The giant old man was wearing silver armor, and the long red cloak on his back was blowing on the ground.There was a huge sword on his waist. The golden scabbard was gleaming and beautifully carved. There was also a dark red gem embedded at the end of the hilt.

This is the king's exclusive knight's sword.

There is no doubt that the giant old man is the master of this country.

In Luruta, his name is unknown to everyone.His heroic deeds are spread on every street corner in the kingdom. At the age of 15, he defeated an invading pirate group with a bounty worth tens of millions, and at the age of 17, he ascended to the supreme throne of this country.

Andre Stewart.

What an epic name!

This was also the first time that Li Wei saw the king in person. Although he only watched from a distance, the aura of calmness and self-power on the other side was really frightening.

It can be seen in the sniper scope that Lorna has been escorted to the living room on the first floor.Under the whispers and gazes of the nobles, she lowered her head and said nothing.

"His Majesty is here!"

Following a loud shout, the nobles immediately stopped chattering and retreated to both sides.The soldiers also formed quickly and stood neatly behind the nobles.

Then, in silence, Stewart walked in.

"Your Majesty the King."

"Your Majesty the King."

"..."

Everyone put their right hands on their chests and bowed to salute.

"Father."

Girod stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Girod, what's going on?" Stewart's face was gloomy, his wrinkled forehead was knitted together, and he didn't look very unhappy. "Is the news about Jimmy true?"

"Father, I can't believe that something like this would happen. You know, I sent a lot of people to look for him the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it."

As he said that, there was a look of regret in Girod's eyes.

"My dear brother actually wants to kill me!"

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the nobles.They looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.

In the silence, Stewart's frown deepened.

"Girod, you know what kind of person Jimmy is. Although he is usually naughty, he will not attack his relatives."

"Hehehe... you won't do anything to your relatives?"

Girod chuckled, his shoulders shook, and his tone of voice seemed like he had suddenly changed.

"Father, it seems that you are really old...

Of course I know Jimmy.A naughty child who was loved very much, a second prince who ran away from home because he was afraid of going to the battlefield, and a...waste with haemorrhage! "

"Hehehe...don't you still understand?!"

Girod raised his voice excitedly.

“That loser sent someone to kill me because he was desperate!

As long as I die, he can inherit everything smoothly.Even if you are afraid of escaping into a smelly ditch, as long as you kill me, the king's crown will fall on his head sooner or later!

Since he is a noble, how can he have family ties?If I hadn't taken precautions in the past few days, what you see now, father, would be my body. "

After speaking, Girod looked directly at Stewart, his chest rising and falling violently due to emotions, and he looked very uneasy.

quiet……

"Nobles have no family ties, so that's what you think..."

Stewart lowered his head and murmured, a trace of loneliness flashed in his cloudy old eyes, but he quickly returned to his original serious expression, and his sharp eyes like a hawk shot towards Lorna, who was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered.

"Nothing can be finalized yet. Who knows whether the kid you caught was sent by Jimmy. Maybe someone deliberately framed your brother. Let's put this matter aside for now."

"After all this, do you still need to defend that piece of trash? Haha..."

Girod shook his head mockingly.

"It's useless. Nat has been following me these past few days. He knows everything."

The reason why "Captain Nat" is so famous in the kingdom is not only because he is one of Stewart's exclusive guards, but also because of his nickname "Iron Mask".As we all know, this is a person who values ​​integrity more than life.Asking Nat to lie was tantamount to asking him to commit suicide.

Stewart turned his gaze to the crowd.

"Ahem... Nat?"

Nat paused and said, "Your Majesty, this person is indeed here specifically to assassinate His Highness Girod."

As soon as these words came out, the accusation of second prince Jimmy sending someone to kill his brother was basically confirmed. Regardless of whether Stewart believed it or not, at least the other nobles present believed it.

"Girod, cough..."

Stewart's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, as if he wanted to defend himself, but could not find a reason for it.His voice was old and hoarse.

"Ahem, I have my own conclusion on this matter."

"Here's the mud again..."

Girod closed his eyelids in disappointment.

[Father, I gave you a chance. 】

He couldn't wait any longer. The Lone Wolf Pirates couldn't withstand the consumption of the second month.He didn't want to wait. Wasn't the nearly ten years of forbearance and compromise not enough?

"Stuart, you are old, so leave the position of king to me."

With a light word, it was like an order was given. The soldiers outside the field showed their spears and formed an encirclement, surrounding the king, other nobles and guards.

At this time Walker also heard the sound and moved, pressing Nat to the ground with his paw.

No matter how honest Nat is, he is still the king's best general, and he is as powerful as Commander Williams.To completely bring down Stewart, it is necessary to deal with Turner.

Girod: "Let me introduce to you, this is my new guard captain Walker, who will also be the future commander of the Royal Army of Luruta."

Seeing the "werewolf" suddenly emerging from the ranks of soldiers, the crowd became commotion.

"Girod, do you know what you are doing!"

Stewart's face was sullen, and anger could be heard clearly in his tone.

"You are rebelling, Girod!"

A baron stood up from the crowd and shouted, and another viscount followed him and glared at Girod.But among everyone present, they were the only two who stood up.Some people silently retreated behind Girod, while a few others showed hesitation and did not move for a long time.

"You, you guys! Ahem..."

Stewart pointed at Girod, his fingers trembling, and his face turned red unnaturally.

"Father, can't you see? Between the old and confused lion and the young and strong lion, the wise man has already made a choice."

Girod chuckled.It is unreasonable for Stewart to be so biased towards Jimmy. Moreover, the royal chef of the palace was replaced by one of his own people as early as last month, and the old king could not live more than six days.

"Ahem, so, is this your choice? Ahem..."

Stewart asked sharply.This voice seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After the roar, he coughed violently, and even his breathing was hoarse.

However, no one answered...
