[One Piece] To be

The blue mask covered the field of vision, and people only had time to exclaim. In a blink of an eye, the straw hat gang, the black-haired brother, and the mixed-race bounty criminal all disappeared in place.

At the same time, King stood on the third floor of the hotel near the street, watching the farce through the window.He was still dressed in a black suit, with an indifferent expression, and his whole body was filled with an unapproachable chilling aura.

"Master Smollett, things are ready." The subordinates saluted respectfully.

"Where's Blood Rose?"

"There is no movement, but the queen, she doesn't seem to be in the base camp of Reynath Island. The killer we sent missed, and she has transferred the important information to Shichibukai Trafalgaro. Shichibukai is in charge of the government/government Protection, our forces cannot do anything."

"The little girl moved quickly, but it was too late—how will the Heizu respond?"

"The die-hards are still unwilling to cooperate, but they have bought some of their internal staff with money and women. We can open up relationships on the day of the sacrifice."

"Very well, where's Blackbeard?"

"He is very satisfied with your [business] and has signed the contract."

"Heh, what's the use of a contract? To a pirate, a contract is just a waste of paper. Only when you hold the [weapon] in your hands can you have the right to speak. Boy, tell him that this is a venture capital investment, let him show some sincerity .”

"Yes." The subordinate hurriedly retreated.

King was the only one left in the room.The middle-aged man held his forehead with his hand, and the scar had a rough and uneven texture. This one...was left by the crew fighting when they entered the new world.That line on his mouth... A crying woman's face appeared in his mind, that crazy woman, holding the knife he gave him, pointed at the corner of his mouth without hesitation... It's really disgusting memory.

King stared coldly at the high-spirited straw hat boy and the young and beautiful queen on the street outside.He inevitably thinks back to his youth. At that time, he was also a pirate. Almost lost his life.Since then, Smollett Philip has cultivated his morals, changed his bad habits and slowly climbed up, and the sky paid off, and he finally got to where he is today. Now, he has invested everything to make the biggest investment, which is Asia Island.

The location of the last ancient weapon "Tianwang".

King thought of the idiots on Asia Island who were originally from the same clan but wanted to be divided into black and red clans to fight all day long. They might not even know the existence of the "king of heaven".But it is understandable, there has been no trace of the king of heaven on the great voyage for a hundred years, and I have struggled to find some clues, otherwise, who would come to this ghostly place.

But Straw Hat Luffy is also here, which is the most troublesome thing.According to records, there are almost no people who can make him deflated.Therefore, besides arranging his own forces to infiltrate, King sent Asia's signal to the navy with all his heart, and only those idiots could control the Straw Hat Boy.Then he can control the ancient weapons with peace of mind.

On the street, Trafalgaro raised his hand to summon ROOM, and took away the Straw Hats and the little half-breed.Before they disappeared, King saw the troublesome woman raised her head and looked in his direction, and seemed to be smiling.

She found out?Knowledgeable?I was almost bumped into by her on the street before... What a terrible woman. King couldn't help but think of the crazy girl who gave him a second scar when he was young. They have the same eyes, and that cursed knife...

"Butterfly"?Disgusting name.

King felt a little tired, but he couldn't stop yet.The success or failure of years of painstaking management depends on it.He got up and dialed the phone bug, calling Blackbeard Teach.

On the vast sea of ​​the new world, the naval fleet has received information and is rushing to Asia Island.

Another route in the New World, an unremarkable pirate ship is also rushing in the same direction.However, the symbol of the bow is the eye-catching upturned two strands of white beard.

"Mr. Sabo, come quickly! Ace fell asleep halfway through eating again!"

Asia Island is close to the coast of the territory of the Red Race. Usopp, who was left behind on the Sonny, and others saw the Red Heart submarine floating up, and the two sides greeted happily.

Various forces gradually converged on this civil/war island.

(44) Sacrifice of the mixed race

Xue Meigui's phone rang for a long time before being connected. It was not the voice of the Fourth Queen but the operator of the intelligence department. They said that the captain was busy with other things now and it was not convenient to answer the phone.Lamy jokingly said that he didn't plan to ask for the queen's information feedback, but the other party hesitated for a long time and said that we would ask again.

After hanging up the phone, Lamy thought for a moment, and then dialed another personal phone bug. The little thing had curly hair and a boat-shaped cap, staring at fiery red eyes.

"Puru porp, porp porah - kach."

"Rose?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and an indistinguishable voice sounded, "Little Lamy?"

Not Rosemary, but her mate, Rambo.

"Is the sun coming out from the west today?" Lamy teased, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Deputy Captain. But now I need to ask you to transfer to your captain."

"... We also have our own affairs to be busy with, do you understand Miss, Blood Rose is not dedicated to serving the Queen. Please contact the Information Center directly for work problems. If you have nothing to do, you can drink tea with the captain another day and talk about women's thoughts. Goodbye like this I am getting more and more beautiful, see you in 100 years!"

Click, the deputy captain hangs up the phone willfully. It seems that the matter over there is really urgent.Lamy watched the phone bug start snoring, feeling a little powerless-it seems that he can't count on Blood Rose, maybe Kaido made a comeback to trouble them?She couldn't help complaining about the straw hat kid, since they had already defeated the Four Emperors, why didn't they just kick him up?Sure enough, this is the difference between sea adventurers and traditional pirates?

If PlanA fails, then start working on planB.

In the remote hotel of the Red Race, Yolanda was kneeling down and apologizing, "I'm sorry everyone caused a misunderstanding because of me! I'm sorry I asked you to come to an end, I really didn't mean it!"

The straw hat boy sat on the coffee table with his legs crossed, took a gulp of hot tea with green leaves floating in it, then stuck out his tongue and yelled that it was unpalatable.It seems that apart from meat, he still can't enjoy other foods of the Red Race.

"Miss Yolanda, don't do this!" The blond cook in the straw hat acted extremely gentlemanly at this time, "I will never allow the lady to be bullied! So please tell me what happened!"

Yolanda was still lying on the ground and did not dare to get up. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Lamy who was standing side by side with her brother, who was about to watch a joke.With a long sigh, she straightened her glasses and sat down cross-legged. She opened the black book that never left her body and cleared her throat. "This is a very serious story. Let me tell you slowly."

The story of Yolanda is very simple and clichéd. It probably means many years ago-this many years probably started with three digits.At that time, Asia was a complete island, and there was no such thing as the Red Race and the Black Race, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment and were self-sufficient.However, at some point the island split into two, separated by the small desert island of Pescado.In this way, it evolved into the Red Race and the Black Race. The two forces were incompatible, and thus began a long war. Even if the reason for the war had long been vague, they only knew that they had to fight, and the goal was to snatch Pescador sovereignty.

However, not everyone has the determination to fight to the death.Most people in Asia gradually realized that war is meaningless, and some people from the red and black races also began to stand up and express their hope for a truce, and then began to secretly marry men and women of the two races, and their offspring were killed called mestizos.I don't know when mixed-race children were regarded as dirty and ugly symbols, and they were often chased and killed by the guards.There are fewer and fewer mixed races, and the people have great opinions on this [crime of mixed blood].The rulers had no choice but to appease their anger, they built an altar and arranged a ten-year sacrifice, claiming to let the half-blood preside over the sacrifice to pray for Asia, using this reason to stop chasing and killing the half-blood, and appease the people.

"But, why do those soldiers still offer a reward to Miss Yolanda?" The cook was very puzzled. At this time, everyone in the Straw Hats had lost interest in the long story and went to play with their own.Only the baby reindeer and the feminist chef are still listening.

"Is it because something went wrong in the sacrificial process?" The little reindeer grabbed Yolanda's kimono sleeve with its two front hooves, trying to see the words on the black book with its eyes wide open.Yolanda resisted the urge to hug this cute little thing in his arms, "It's not that simple, Chopper, if Asia's [sacrifice] is just singing hymns, that's fine. The half-bloods of the priests died suddenly without any reason—or maybe there was a reason why Asia blocked it. Anyway, the half-bloods fled the island, including me. I have been wandering around since then, and joined I bought Xue Meigui, and then I was arrested by the red people, and the sacrificial day is coming soon, and they intend to force me to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. They will not hesitate to offer a reward across the island."

Rami turned his eyes to look at Straw Hat Luffy, and found that although the guy was leaning on his chin, he was actually listening to every word Yolanda said.

Is this kid really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
