[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

The royal family of Simerip has lived in the palace since the founding of the country. Although there is no document to record the specific completion time of the palace, it is undoubtedly before the Haili year, at least 400 years ago.

This ancient palace is built on high steps, like a temple. Under each palace is a stone gate as high as four or five meters. The upper five to seven floors are conical, and it looks like a temple. Somewhat similar.

Each palace room was connected together at the beginning of manufacture, except for their respective gates, the entire palace has almost no dead ends.That's why when Smile led the rebel army to appear inside the main hall, it made the king's army panic for a while and gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.

Since Queen Mia moved into the main palace a month ago, the unused palaces have been sealed off, and the remaining elite of the king's army have been concentrated in the only two palaces still in use to ensure the safety of the royal family.

These remaining elites can be said to be very cautious. In order to prevent the tragedy of the former king and queen from happening again, they stare at every corner of the palace almost all the time. Each team has clear tasks and is orderly. Patrol or keep watch in the palace.But this afternoon, a panicked voice disrupted this order.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the rebel army also hijacked the only son of the jeweler Jewell family, and now-"

The soldier who rushed into the palace anxiously, saluted hastily, and planned to report the situation to Her Majesty the Queen, suddenly stopped talking because he was horrified to find that the carved mahogany chair where the Queen was sitting on official duties was empty at this time. , Not only that, even the queen's personal bodyguard was gone.

"Her Majesty has just led someone out of the palace. She insists on negotiating with the rebels. No one can stop her."

Just when the soldier began to worry about whether the queen had been taken away by thieves, and he needed to call out, an old voice stabilized his heartstrings.

"Prime Minister Alston." Seeing the white-haired old man walking slowly into the hall with a walking stick, the soldier bowed his head and saluted respectfully.

"Don't be so respectful to me. I'm just an old man. Now in this country, no one wants to listen to me."

Watching the old man who has assisted four generations of monarchs walk slowly to the window, murmuring as if talking to himself, the soldier lowered his head, saluted hurriedly and then left.

Although the thin back of the prime minister looked a little lonely, the other party had lived under the rebel army for nearly a year, and finally made great contributions to the queen's ascension to the throne.For a pawn like him, it's better not to rashly accept the other party's words.Moreover, before leaving, the soldier sneaked another glance at the figure standing by the window. Recently, there have been rumors that Prime Minister Auston had a bit of a fight with Her Majesty the Queen because of the coronation. I really hope this will not affect their relationship. , will not affect the future of this country.

May Simerip bless Queen Mia and her people.The soldiers who hurried to their posts prayed devoutly in their hearts.

But his prayer didn't seem to reach that god. At this time, his queen was not in an optimistic situation.

"I am the queen of this country, Mia Simerip, who is the one who wants to negotiate with me?"

This Queen Mia, who has just ascended the throne for more than a month, is actually a girl who just passed her 18th birthday.It may be because she has been very carefree for the first [-] years. Even after the death of her parents and the turmoil in the country, her blue eyes are still as clear as springs that have just melted on the snowy mountains, and her long silver hair is simple. Behind her head, even in the face of the murderer who took away her parents, she did not show the slightest disgust or resentment.

"The name of the next pawn will not bother the queen. Let's put it this way, I now have 97 people in this country, and the only son of the Jewel family. If you don't want to do what I say, I can't guarantee their safety."

The silver-haired young man stood at the entrance of the market, looking at the young queen standing in the center of the king's army, her whole body seemed to be glowing, her expression was calm, but the movement of holding Diamond in her hand was a little more serious, and the blade on her neck Blood dripped faintly from the mouth.

"My request is very simple. First of all, Queen, you, your cousin, and your army must withdraw from the palace. I don't want to see the royal family of Simerip still living in this palace, or anyone related to it. people."

"Second, I will tell you when you have achieved the first point."

"You bastard, don't be too arrogant!" As soon as the silver-haired youth's provocative voice fell, the unbearable King Jun stepped forward, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted at him.

The queen herself didn't seem to feel much about this condition, she reached out to stop the restless king's army, and asked peacefully, "Mr. rebel army, when will you let my citizens and Mr. Jewel back? "

"Well, after you achieve the first point, I will consider letting half of the hostages go back. If it can't be done—" the silver-haired young man elongated the end of his sentence. Although he didn't finish speaking, the threat was already very obvious. .

Of course, the king's army was very disgusted with his behavior, but when they saw the people in the market that were looming in the market, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.

But there was one person who didn't seem to intend to bury his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Hey, you guy, are you putting me in the same position as those ordinary people? Are you kidding me? My life is worth more than all of them combined."

"Isn't it my business that should be the priority?"

Only the young master of the Jewel family can take it for granted that he despises other people's lives.

As soon as these words came out, the focus of the rebel army and the king's army all gathered on the thin young man whose neck had begun to ooze blood and was pointed at by the blade.

He didn't seem to be aware of the crisis of his situation at all. Instead, he looked like a young master waiting for someone to serve food in a restaurant. The expression on his face was only impatience and displeasure of being ignored.

"That queen over there, go and do the first point, and then let these rebels put the common people back. Then complete his second request, and then you can welcome me back."

"Don't sneer, leader of the rebel army. When you bound these common people, you only bound your hands but not your feet. You probably want to move them to another place. I advise you to give up. My guards should have found that I didn't In the room, I came out to find someone. Although there are not many of them, they are all elite. With so many burdens, you can't run far."

"But if you let me go first, you won't believe that I won't retaliate and interfere with your next deal with the queen. So, is my proposal your only choice?"

The two forces that originally looked at this young master with a contemptuous expression, their eyes became dignified following his words, and a few people even showed a trace of admiration in their eyes.As the only son of the largest jeweler in the sea, Diamond Jewel was able to trade among so many forces, and it really wasn't just his father's money that he relied on.

However, the silver-haired young man who was jokingly becoming the leader of the rebel army with the blade in his hand had a bad expression at this moment.

The weight I picked up turned into □□□, no matter who encounters this, they will not be happy.But to be able to be the leader of this group of rebel elites, the psychological quality of the silver-haired youth is not bad.

He was only angry at the beginning, and the blade against Diamond's neck moved a little closer, making the companions next to him startled, for fear that he would cut the artery of this important hostage with a single force.But the next moment, he returned to his modest and gentlemanly appearance.

"I was negligent. How could I ignore the importance of Mr. Jewel?" The silver-haired young man smiled softly, but it made people feel a little chill under the noon sun, "Well, we can Return the hostages to you other than this Mr. Jewell and a civilian child, on the premise that I will see my first request be fulfilled within 10 minutes."

"10 minutes? That's too—" Queen Mia frowned, thinking she wanted to discuss it with him again.

"Your request, I have already completed half of it." A soft girlish voice interrupted the Queen's words, which seemed a bit abrupt in the tense confrontation between the two armies.

"When you made your first request, I guessed that Sister Wang would agree, so I have let the maids leave from my side hall. The king's army in the main hall needs to be mobilized by Sister Wang's order, but I want to use Their quality can be withdrawn in one or two minutes."

"Then I, Alyssa Simerip, am here right now and have withdrawn from the palace."

The owner of the voice walked up to Queen Mia step by step. She looked two or three years younger than the queen, and her facial features were somewhat similar to the queen's, especially those bright blue eyes, which contained a pure kindness similar to the queen's. .

"Miss Wang, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, will you?" Alisa walked up to the Queen, blinked her eyes playfully before saluting. Although her gestures were respectful, there was a hint of coquettishness in her words.

"How could it be, what you did, Alisa, is exactly what I wanted to do." The queen smiled and helped her cousin who bent over to salute, pulled her to stand beside her, and greeted the chief guard next to her. After the man ordered something, he looked in the direction of the rebel army again.

"I have just sent an order to evacuate the king's army in the main hall, and you have seen our sincerity. Now, can I see my people?"

The silver-haired young man looked at the two royal sisters with similar expressions, a complex look flashed across his face, and he didn't answer. He nodded to the people next to him. There was a gap in the entrance, and rows of hostages were brought out, blocking the rebel army like human targets.

"Remove the king's army at the exit behind the market. We will leave from there after seeing the king's army withdraw. Don't try to play any tricks. Even if you don't care about the life of that kid, the life of the young master of the Jewel family, you You have to show some face."

"Our second condition is that you cannot attend the coronation ceremony two days later. Otherwise, these two people will be dead."
