[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

"Major General Flying Squirrel, thank you...thank you for rescuing my child, really... thank you very much."

"Uh...it's nothing, you don't have to do this, madam, this is what I should do."

Although Major General Flying Squirrel has been stationed on this island for nearly two years, he usually patrols and trains near the research institute, and occasionally helps fight the rebels.He rarely dealt with the residents of the island, facing the woman who was holding the child and crying, he panicked for a moment, waved his hands awkwardly, his eyes wandered, and he completely lost the prestige of driving away the rebel army just now.

"Her Majesty is still worried about the child's safety in the palace. Let's go back and report to His Majesty. How about thanking Major General Flying Squirrel later, this beautiful lady?" Diamond smiled and admired the headquarters. After seeing the uncomfortable expression on the lieutenant general's face, he slowly opened his mouth to help him out.

In the end, relying on the Queen's prestige, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was able to get out of this embarrassing situation for him. After sending him to the king's army near the palace, he immediately retreated from the protective position beside the mother and child. In the last step, he stood with Diamond behind him.

Seeing Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel walking next to him with a serious expression, Diamond laughed unkindly in his heart.This rear admiral seems to be taking the route of elite training, and he is not good at these things such as friendly communication with the people. This is really, simple enough to make people feel cute.

While Diamond was gloating, the small captain of the king's army had already completed the briefing and led them into the corridor leading to the main hall of the king's palace.

There was no one on the throne of the main hall at this time, and Queen Mia was standing at the door. Behind her were the guards of the king's army lined up.

Looking at the group of people walking towards her led by the king's army along the promenade, the queen's expression was obviously much lighter.She was still wearing the white collarless tights and anchovy skirt just now, the clothes were very simple and elegant, only there were some golden embroidery on the waist and skirt, because the crown inlaid with blood diamonds on her head was the The best accessories.

"Major General Flying Squirrel, and Mr. Jewell, thanks to the two of you, this child was rescued. As the queen of this country, I express my highest gratitude to you two. If you need any help in the future, We, the royal family of Simerip, will definitely lend a helping hand."

After finishing speaking, Queen Mia folded her hands together, intending to bow down and salute to express her gratitude, but was stopped immediately.

"You don't have to be so polite. Although this country is not under the jurisdiction of the navy, the rebel army threatens people with the lowly means of kidnapping children. Our navy will never stand idly by. And after you have provided me with information Under the circumstances, the rebel army has not been wiped out, let them escape, I am really ashamed of your trust."

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel supported the Queen's arm, preventing her from saluting.Even though the king's army behind him all pointed their guns at him because of his sudden move forward, he didn't move at all, still lowered his head slightly, staring at the queen earnestly and sincerely.

Seeing this scene, Diamond on the side wanted to blow the whistle regardless of the occasion.This flying squirrel major general is indeed an elite of the headquarters, and he has learned etiquette very well.Once switched to normal events, the just and awe-inspiring demeanor of the navy can be perfectly displayed.

But just letting the navy steal all the limelight is not enough. For this happy result, he has spent a lot of effort, and it is too uneconomical to just quietly be a wallflower on the sidelines.

When Major General Flying Squirrel let go of the Queen's hand, took a step back, nodded, and wanted to say something more, Diamond said, "We are just some idle small forces. Without your command, Your Majesty the Queen, we would be absolutely dead. It is impossible to get together and cooperate with each other to escape from the rebel army. The Jewel family will definitely remember this kindness."

Diamond didn't step forward either, but stood on the spot, with his fingers folded together in front of his chest, and he bowed slightly to salute.This kind of Namaste, which is commonly used by the people of Simirip, was made by this foreigner in a shirt and trousers, and there was no sense of disobedience unexpectedly.It may be because the expression on Diamond's face is very pious, just like the local people.

What Diamond said was very beautiful, which made the face of the king's army behind the queen a lot better.And wanting to refute that the navy is not a small force, Major General Flying Squirrel, after feeling that the atmosphere in the hall became much lighter, I silently swallowed back the words in my mouth.Watching the brown-haired young man step forward, he greeted the queen with a calm demeanor, then took a step behind the other party, and walked into the hall together.

Perhaps this Queen Mia really wanted to thank them. After entering the main hall, she did not sit on the throne on the high platform, but sat down on the top seat on the left, and waved her hand to let the king's army retreat to the entrance of the main hall. Major General Flying Squirrel, Diamond, the woman and the little boy sat on the right side, and thoughtfully prepared a small chair for the little boy.

The next conversation is actually a detailed version of the conversation at the door.Basically, the queen thanked Diamond for leaving some marks in the city. Diamond modestly expressed that thanks to the discovery of the king's army, he had already contacted the navy for help, otherwise he might be caught as soon as he escaped; the mentioned flying squirrel had to follow The boss said that he didn't care, he just did some small things and so on.Afterwards, the woman began to thank the two of them again, and the whole hall was full of thank you and thank you back and forth.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your friendly communication. But it's almost dinner time now, Sister Wang, do you want to invite everyone to move to the restaurant? The kitchen is ready to serve food."

The lively girl's voice interrupted the circle of politeness in the hall, making everyone in it secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Queen Mia stood up, and when she saw Alisa who walked to her from the entrance of the main hall and smiled at her, the smile on her face became more sincere, "Is it already this time, fortunately, Alisa, please remind me If you don't have anything important to do next, can you give me a face and move to the restaurant to enjoy the food of our Ximiripu?"

Two elegant and beautiful young ladies stand together and invite you to dinner. There are indeed few people in the world who can resist this temptation.And for Diamond, being able to have dinner with the two remaining members of the royal family is a good opportunity to get closer and get information out.It's a pity that he has other things to do now.

"Although I really want to have dinner with the two of you, my guards have been looking for me for so long and haven't found me. I should be in a hurry. In order to prevent them from contacting my father and turning a small accident into a big riot, I have to go back first. A trip. If possible, I would like to visit the palace again tomorrow night, I wonder if it is possible?"

The Queen will certainly not refuse the request of a young man who is gentle and courteous and has helped him.So Diamond took the entry permit of Simripu Palace and left contentedly.

The first thing Diamond did after leaving the palace was, of course, to go back to the market in the morning and get back the things he hung on the tree.Nothing else matters, the most important thing is those two guns.

When he opened the package and saw the two ordinary automatic pistols under the dim street lights, the stone that Diamond had been hanging in his heart since noon finally fell to the ground.

If these two guns were on him, they would definitely be confiscated by the rebel army, and it might be more troublesome to get them back at that time, so he chose to leave these two precious guns on the tree at that time.Although he knew in his heart that the chances of someone climbing up the tree and taking his belongings were slim, he couldn't help worrying.

After putting back the holster and putting away the rest of the bits and pieces, Diamond jumped down from the tree, bypassed the nearby King's Army patrolling and walked towards the southeast, with a flash of a child who was trying to play a prank on his face, A mischievous and expectant smile.

At this time, the southeast coast of Simirip, a narrow coast under a cliff, is very lively.

Pile after pile of bonfires lit the night, and the noise from them even drowned out the waves.The sound of wine glasses colliding, punching, and cheering for some unknown reason, anyone living in this sea can accurately judge that this group of people laughing wantonly here are pirates.

"Boss, what are we going to do next? The supplies on the ship have been replenished. Are we going to go to war with the navy?" A pirate raised a wine glass and asked the red-haired man sitting in the middle with a smile.

"That's right, we're getting tired of the banquet, so are we going to find someone to play with?"

"Are you idiots? The boss said that we are here to hunt for treasure this time. If we fight with the navy, won't we be unable to find it?"

"But it's so troublesome to hide from the navy like this. If you want me to say, just clean them up, so that you can also free up your hands to find the treasure!"

......

Looking at the familiar and noisy scene in front of him, Beckman smiled helplessly.He knew that these restless guys were going to be impatient, but he didn't expect that they would seriously consider the plan of destroying the navy and then finding the treasure.

Glancing at Shanks next to him who seemed to be seriously considering this plan, Beckman silently calculated the worst possibility in his mind: It would take three days for the naval warship to travel from the headquarters to the island at the fastest speed. Considering the navy just passing by, they will start their operations tomorrow, and they will set sail the morning after the Queen's coronation at the latest.If we can really get any clues from that ceremony, there is still time.just afraid...

"You're right, it's too troublesome to hide with the navy like this, we can do whatever we want tomorrow."

"Oh oh oh——, did you hear that, little ones? Tomorrow we can go and make a big fuss!"

Their captain took the lead in messing around aimlessly, which finally led to the postponement of the coronation ceremony. After the reinforcements arrived at the Navy headquarters, they did not find relevant clues.

Looking at the companions who were all excited by Shanks' words, Beckman had already calculated in his heart how long it would take to send reinforcements from the New World.But it is not peaceful there, and cadres are needed to guard it, and it is very troublesome to transfer people over.

"Hey, who are you kid?"

When Beckman was thinking about PLANBCD, there was a commotion in front of them, which made the noisy pirates around them gradually quiet down.

"I said I didn't mean anything malicious. I'm an acquaintance of your captain, and I came to negotiate a deal with you." As the voice got closer, a brown-haired man was shot at by two members of the red-haired pirates. I brought it here.

But the young man showed no fear at all, although his hands were raised above his head, there was no gesture of surrender at all.He walked very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing others. The leather boots stepped on the sand and gravel on the coast and only made a slight rattling sound, which was masked by the sound of the waves. If you don't distinguish carefully, you can hardly find it.

He looked like a well-educated young man, but the two guns on his waist were exactly the same as those used by the little girl a year ago.While this gun isn't a particular model, the fact that the holsters are so similar doesn't seem like a coincidence.

"It's Shalai, put down your guns, she's not a bad person, I invited her to play."

Seeing the young man whose decent smile began to crack after his captain said so carelessly, Beckman gave up his intention of using knowledge.This little girl has had enough to deal with their captain, he'd better wait and see.
