[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

In the early morning of the second day, when the guy on the night shift had just let out a sigh of relief and was packing up his things and preparing to change shifts with others, some familiar "da, da" sounds came to his ears, and he looked up at the stairs vigilantly. He went there, and sure enough, he saw the man he defined as a dangerous pirate.

He is wearing a sand-colored long trench coat today, with black short boots protruding halfway from the gray trousers, and a well-made wine red shirt on top. From the clothes alone, he looks a bit like a rich man.However, the two pistols/guns on his waist and the scars on his face show his different identities.

While the guy was looking at him, he had already walked to the counter from the stairs, knocked on the counter with his index finger, and said with a wicked smile, "Good morning, does your hotel provide meals?"

"Morning...good morning." The clerk didn't expect this man who seemed to be hostile to speak so peacefully and politely, he stuttered a little, and then quickly answered after he realized, "Sorry, our hotel doesn't Three meals are provided. But if you are looking for a place to eat, I recommend you the restaurant opposite. Their red curry is very famous in the whole of Simirip."

"Curry, I see, thanks."

Seeing the man who waved at him and walked out of the door smartly, the man froze in place, subconsciously waved at him as well, and replied in an uncertain tone, "You're welcome? "

Now pirates, are they all so polite?

And Sha Lai, dressed as a man, completely forgot about the short conversation just now after she walked out of the hotel.Walking casually on the early morning street where there were only a few hawkers, she was carefully observing the geographical environment near the hotel, while sorting out the information she had in her mind.

During the year she stayed in the Science Department of the Naval Headquarters, she collected almost all the information about the island, especially the ones related to the cracks in time and space, but the final result made her a little disappointed.

The records of the space-time rift in the navy's hands are all translated from the ancient documents of the royal family of this country.However, these records are incomplete, and only vaguely mentioned that visitors from another world appeared in the royal family's ruins.But when these people appeared, how they appeared, and where they went, there is no definite record at all.

And what's interesting is that the relics of the royal family in this country are not guarded by the king's army, but by the temple.

The temple enshrines the only god that the people of this country believe in, the founder of this country-Simirip.In order to commemorate this ancestor, the people of this country first named the country after him, and then regarded his name as the surname of the royal family, which has been used to this day.People believed that the treasures left by this ancestor were hidden in the royal relics in the temple.

The high priest in the temple is the only person in this country who has the right to accept the king or queen.After the rebel army occupied the palace, Smile also sent people to the temple to force the high priest to come to the palace to crown him. Unfortunately, the gate of the temple was never opened to him.

Forcibly destroying this temple, which is extremely sacred in the hearts of the people, is something that even a rebel army with a million troops dare not try.In other words, many citizens who make up this army would rather leave this army than treat every plant and tree in this temple of fever.

This temple is made of extremely solid rock, the gate on the ground floor is five meters high, and the windows on the upper three floors are also very narrow.It can be said that it is a typical fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the gate is closed, it is almost impossible to force it in without causing damage to it.

The relic of the royal family that Shalai is most interested in is located in the underground of this temple. It is said that there is a team of thousands of elites in the temple to guard this relic.Except for the coronation of the new king, no one is allowed to enter this temple at any other time.

The high priest in the temple hardly ever saw the world. The last time people saw him was a month ago when Queen Mia appeared in the palace.

The high priest suddenly appeared in the palace at that time, and appointed Princess Mia as the new queen of Simerip.However, the coronation ceremony was postponed because of the unstable situation in the country at the time.Until four days ago, the day Shalai applied to be transferred to the island, the queen announced that her coronation ceremony would be held in a week.

So, even counting today, she only had three days to figure out a way to sneak in the coronation.

Thinking of how little action time she had, Shalai couldn't help but sigh in her heart.This queen is so daring. The leader of the rebel army planned to hold the coronation ceremony before she caught her. This completely messed up her plan to wait and see in the headquarters for another half a year. Didn't have time to do it.

But it's meaningless to think about it now. In short, let's go to that temple and have a look.

But she turned her head and walked towards the east temple. She didn't expect that this action she tentatively planned based on real-time information would bring about huge changes in her future life.

Turning back the time a little bit, in the woods near the east coastline of the island, the sun just rose from the sea, and when the birds began to chirp for food, a red-haired man in a black cape and a straw hat was standing by He took a breath and walked out of the woods.

When he passed a big tree that could only be surrounded by three adults, a faint voice stopped him.

"Boss, where are you going alone?"

"Ha, it's Beckman, good morning." After a slight pause, the red-haired man immediately greeted the black-haired man leaning against the tree with a smile.

Ignoring his captain's usual optimistic smile, Beckman said calmly, "After two days of banquets and a day of hangover, are you going to go treasure hunting alone today when the navy begins martial law?"

"How come, I just plan to go to the town to buy some wine because I'm out of wine. Hmm... just ask for information by the way." Under the sharp eyes of his own deputy captain, Shanks raised his hand in surrender, saying his original intention out.

"I'll go to the temple with you, and then go to the capital to buy some ingredients, otherwise our dinner will be lost today."

"Hahaha, Beckman, you know where I want to go."

"Let's go." Too lazy to look at Shanks' silly smiling face, Beckman straightened up and walked east.

However, Beckman was also a little surprised by the fact that they saw the navy patrolling troops before they walked out of the forest.

Hiding behind the tree, Beckman frowned as he watched the naval patrols walking towards the coast, feeling that things were starting to get troublesome.

It seems that the riot caused by the navy and the rebel army yesterday caused the navy to lose something very important.At least it is an item or person that is worthy of letting them reduce the defensive force and expand the search range after a night of fruitless search.I don't know if it has something to do with the warship that arrived yesterday evening, but in any case, this is not good for them.

After all, if the navy continues to search according to this trend, their ship will be discovered.But if these navies are cleaned up, it will still attract the attention of the research institute. If they find the existence of the Redforth and report it to the headquarters, their captain's expedition will become troublesome.This is really a multiple-choice question that is not cost-effective to choose. It seems that I can only find a way to create an option by myself.

Just when Beckman was about to greet the captain to go back together, Shanks spoke.

"Beckman, go tell your brothers to set sail, stop at a more secluded place in front, and then send a few people to buy, try not to collide with the navy. I will go to the city for a stroll and find out something. At noon and You meet."

Seeing Shanks fade away his idle smile and look serious, Beckman didn't speak, nodded and walked in the opposite direction.

With the cover of the woods, Beckman avoided the navy and quickly returned to the place where their pirate group camped.He rudely called out his companions who were still sleeping on the ground, and after briefly conveying the captain's instructions, Beckman lit a cigarette, leaned against a tree, and watched his companions frantically cleaning up the mess.

Is he very worried about the captain? Although Shanks is a bit careless and playful, he is still very reliable when it comes to business, but...

After thinking of something, Beckman's hand shaking the ash paused, and a handful of ash floated onto his clean leather boots.But he has no time to take care of that for the time being, and he is now thinking deeply about a question: is it a good thing for their captain to meet the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the Vice Admiral Polusalino who may cause trouble for the Headquarters? It's business.Or which one is more important than searching for unknown treasures.

Thinking of his own captain's strange brain circuit, Beckman deeply regretted the behavior of letting him go to the capital alone just now.I hope that at noon, I won't receive the news that he has overturned the temple.

Although Beckman here is speculating about his own captain with the greatest malice, Shanks, who has just arrived at the temple, is very reliable.

He first admired the huge stone temple from a distance, then avoided the guards and circled around it. After finding no breakthrough, Shanks stopped in distress behind a big tree behind the temple. , staring at the high wall of the temple for a while.

It seems that this temple is very important to the people of this country, so you can’t directly open a hole with a sword; even if you use domineering to stun the guards and climb up, the upper windows can’t accommodate a grown man at all. It’s really troublesome, I knew it earlier Just came over with Beckman.

After Shanks thought about it for a while, he couldn't find any good solution, so he had to give up regretfully.I plan to go to Wangdu City to buy some supplies and bring them back to the ship, and then tell Beckman the situation.

"who!"

Um?He didn't do anything?How was it discovered?Is the level of guarding here so high?

Shanks carefully poked his head out from behind the tree, and found that the guards were not shouting at him. On the contrary, most of the guards were holding weapons at this time, and ran to his right front in an orderly manner.

It seems that someone, like him, chose this time to come here to have a look?Intrigued by this person with the same purpose as him, Shanks temporarily put aside the matter of keeping a low profile, walked out from the shadow of the big tree, and ran towards the source of the disturbance at a speed that the guards could not detect.

But before he reached his destination, Shanks felt something falling from his head.

"There! Don't let him get away."

After flashing vigilantly towards the outer wall of the temple, Shanks maintained the posture of holding the sword hilt, squinted his eyes and looked up, looking at the person in the sky who was tightly wrapped in a white cloak and could not see the specific figure, using the color of knowledge and knowledge .But the result surprised him a bit.

Well, knowing he's red-haired, and about Chambord and that cuff button, so to speak.

Seeing the figure who seemed to have used the navy in the air to change direction and landed three steps away from him, Shanks smiled and waved his hand regardless of the faint sound of neat footsteps coming from behind her. Waving, as if greeting an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Shalai, are you also here to find the treasure?"
