"Title Page Serial: Straw Hats Chapter 2 "Enemies have had different fates since childhood""
"Beihai, in the splendid and technological palace, a blond baby with curly eyebrows was crying loudly. A dozen maids around him, who were afraid to breathe at first, were suddenly in a hurry, using various toys, and tried hard to calm them down.
Come down"
"At the same time, in the dilapidated thatched hut in Donghai Shuangyue Village, a young woman in shabby clothes was busy in front of the pot. The two-year-old green algae head was tiptoeing to put the firewood into the stove, blowing with all his strength, and suddenly
I was choked and coughed for a while, and my face turned gray..."
——————————-
VIP private room on the second floor.
Those who are qualified to sit here are either rich or noble.
In the easternmost private room, a fat bald man covered in cold sweat subconsciously moved his butt back.
"...Master Baji." The bodyguard in black suit behind him leaned down and whispered, "That guy wants to see you by name. What should we do now, or should we fight with him?"
“You’re as good as your mother!”
The fat bald man didn't even think about it. He slapped the bodyguard in the face, turned around, and cursed in a low voice:
"You don't want me to die, but you want to fight that monster? What kind of brain can you think of such a thing? Just a few of you losers?"
The bodyguard in black suit covered his red and swollen face, a little aggrieved, "Then...then, what should we do?"
"Hold it first, don't reveal your identity."
The fat bald man gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, she happened to be on the island for the past two days. It is estimated that she will come over soon when she hears the noise. As long as she can arrive, our lives will be saved..."
He suddenly noticed that the bodyguard in black suit had a strange expression and his eyes were a little straight. He couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing? Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
"You... you, behind you..." The bodyguard in black suit had his teeth chattering.
"..."
The huge black shadow blocked the light above his head, and the fat bald man suddenly realized something. A chill ran down his spine, and he turned back to look with a pale face.
What caught his eye was a handsome face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"You should be the person in charge of this auction house, right?"
Nuo Xia stretched out her hand with a smile, and under the horrified gaze of the fat bald man, she grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground:
"I've been muttering here since the beginning...but the voice was too low and I didn't hear it clearly. Can you repeat it again, what princess is here?"
It was obviously just a whisper in a lowered voice, why is this guy's hearing so abnormal...
The fat bald man's throat rolled and he swallowed.
Before he could even speak, he felt a huge force push him out. He screamed and was thrown high in the air in an arc before falling heavily onto the corridor on the first floor.
He clutched his waist in pain and bared his teeth. He watched the black figure jump down from the second floor and approach step by step. The threat of death made him unable to care much anymore, and he screamed in panic:
"You...you can't kill me! This auction house is Princess Hathaway's property! It is protected by the Kingdom of Maginot!"
"If you offend Her Highness the Princess, you... your naval career will be over! Just wait until you are held accountable by the people above!"
The black shadow's steps suddenly stopped.
Has it worked? The bald fat man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Although Her Royal Highness does not like people below her using her name to show off, at this time, it is better to use the name Hathaway...
However.
Nuo Xia in front of him leaned down at this moment, looked directly into his eyes, and said strangely:
"Princess Hathaway, who is it?"
This guy...hasn't even heard of Her Royal Highness?
The fat bald man was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, there was a sudden bang. The guests around him were startled and all turned their heads to look.
The door of the auction house was blasted open from the outside, and a large number of navy soldiers in white uniforms rushed in and surrounded the entire auction house along the edge.
"Branch 67!! No one is allowed to move, raise your hands!"
"Who dares to cause trouble in Her Royal Highness Princess Hathaway's auction house!"
Behind the tide of sailors, a tall commodore with sinister features, holding a cigar and wearing a cloak of justice, strode in.
Looking back, there is an aristocratic girl wearing a purple-red palace dress.
She is about twenty years old, just over two meters tall, with a slim figure, delicate facial features, and extremely beautiful appearance.
It's just that his eyes are so cold that they don't look like humans. When he glances over, he looks more like a condescending god overlooking the insignificant sentient beings.
"Hey, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Hathaway of the Kingdom of Maginot!"
"...Is this auction house really her property?"
"I've always heard that the Babu family has some background, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing..."
As soon as the aristocratic girl in the purple palace dress appeared, it immediately caused a wave of waves in the entire auction house, and whispers continued to come from all directions.
Saved!
The fat, bald middle-aged man was overjoyed. He got up from the ground using his hands and feet. Like a pug, he approached the noble girl and grabbed the hem of her skirt, crying:
"Your Highness! You are finally here! Your Highness! If you come a little later, we will all die here..."
The noble girl glanced at him on the ground, without concealing her disgust, and kicked him away.
"Get out of here, you're so dirty."
Then he turned his head and said coldly:
"Brigadier General, it seems that my people have suffered a lot... Do you know what to do?"
"Yeah, I understand."
The Commodore seemed quite unhappy with the girl, but also quite fearful of her.
After a dull reply, he held a cigar in his mouth, strode from the door, and walked down the stairs along the corridor between the seats.
"Um?"
Just now, due to the lighting of the auction house, his vision was blocked by shadows. It was only then that he finally saw the face of Nuo Xia standing there.
Immediately, his steps froze and he froze on the spot. The cigar in the corner of his mouth fell to the ground with a clatter.
"This is really, long time no see."
Nuo Xia looked at this man with a cigar in his mouth and ferocious features. He was also a little surprised. His eyes flashed and he said with a half-smile:
"Why, judging from your attitude, are you going to arrest me on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Ghost Spider..."
That's right.
It was his old acquaintance, Ghost Spider, who appeared in this auction house with a large number of navy.
Just don't know.
When did he, who served as colonel under Kizaru two years ago, be promoted to brigadier general?
And when was he transferred to the Chambord Islands to serve as the top commander of the naval branch here.
"Noxia..."
The Ghost Spider was stunned for several seconds before he realized what was happening. He hurriedly walked up to him and asked in a low voice full of pain, "Lieutenant General, why is it you?"
"You asked me?"
Nuo Xia raised his head and glanced at this guy, and said in a neutral tone, "I also want to ask you, isn't this a lawless zone where no one cares? When did the Navy become so efficient in sending troops?"
Counting the time when he had a conflict with Shichibu Kaituk.
So far, it only takes about ten minutes to complete the task.
"I really couldn't care less..."
Ghost Spider carefully glanced at the noble girl in the distance and said with a wry smile, "But this big shot happened to be here today. Hearing that there was trouble in his property, he asked us to send troops directly to come here without any courtesy..."
"You didn't expect that I was the one causing the trouble?"
Ghost Spider forced out a sly smile, "Um... so Lieutenant General, what happened?"
Nuo Xia pointed to the cage on the high platform and briefly told what happened.
The ghost spider looked at Emily who was covered in bruises, and a flash of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Although I have heard before that there is an auction house in the illegal area of Xianbo Land that is secretly engaged in slave trading..."
He gritted his teeth bitterly, "But this time, even our navy's second lieutenant dared to list it for trading. It's really lawless..."
"So get your men ready to fight."
Nuo Xia looked away from the cage and said calmly:
"Most of the people who came to participate in this auction are people with various bounties and underground gangs, as well as the guys from the Babu family. I don't plan to let anyone go today."
"this……"
There was a trace of hesitation on Ghost Spider's face, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Lieutenant General, those pirates are easy to talk to, but the people of the Babu family may not be easy to touch..."
"Because of that princess?"
Nuo Xia's eyes moved slightly, not surprised by his reaction.
"Um."
Ghost Spider smiled bitterly, "You have heard of the Kingdom of Maginot, right?"
When he attended the World Conference before, the shadows of various kings quickly ran through his mind. Nuo Xia nodded slightly, "I have some impression."
This seems to be a franchised country not far from the Shampoo Islands.
The area is not large, the country is not strong, and the population is in the millions.
But he vaguely remembered that in Mariegio, for some reason, the kings of those big countries were quite polite to King Maginot.
"Hathaway is King Maginot's most valued daughter."
Ghost Spider said quickly in a low voice, "This identity is actually nothing, but this princess has been extremely beautiful since she was a child. When she grew up, she became famous far and wide, and her communication skills are also quite powerful. I don't know if she has
How many nobles from other countries are willing to bow under her skirt..."
Nuo Xia listened quietly, and he could already roughly guess something in his mind.
"It wasn't until the World Conference five years ago that she was taken to Mariejoia by King Maginot. I don't know how she did it, but she hooked up with several young Celestial Dragons at the same time, and their relationship with each other was ambiguous."
"There are even rumors that if it weren't for the collective opposition of the Tianlong family, she would marry one of them..."
"really……"
Nuo Xia smiled and said, "For a mere princess from a small country to be able to take the initiative and sway the Heavenly Dragons, she does have some tricks."
No, it should be said that the means are very terrible.
You know, world nobles and ordinary nobles are two different things.
The high-ranking Celestial Dragons have never taken the joining royal family seriously. Otherwise, at the World Conference twenty years later, there would not have been such an outrageous scene as the Celestial Dragons coming to the door and forcibly asking for Weiwei.
And this Princess Hathaway is actually able to conquer the Celestial Dragons...
Don't know how it is done either.
He glanced at the ghost spider:
"So, the plot is going to be about this princess, relying on her ambiguous relationship with the Celestial Dragons, to run rampant and do mischief in the underground world, but no one dares to touch her?"
"almost……"
Ghost Spider sighed helplessly, "At least our navy really can't afford to offend her. Sometimes we even have to follow her and wipe her butt..."
"The Babu family that runs the auction house, and the Alima family that is on the upper reaches of the slave trade line, probably also wanted to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and I don't know when they quietly took refuge in her name..."
And at the same time.
The fat bald man lying on the ground also explained the process to the noble girl with a grimace.
The latter suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Nuo Xia displeasedly. As soon as he saw his facial features clearly, his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.
"I haven't paid much attention to the newspapers during this period. I really didn't expect that a guy like you would appear in the navy's admiral academy..."
She walked down slowly with elegant steps, looked at Nuo Xia up and down with interest, and chuckled: "Hey, kid, your name is Nuo Xia, right?"
At this moment, Ghost Spider was quietly trying to persuade Nuo Xia to be patient.
But the latter looked a little indifferent. When he heard the noble girl taking the initiative to say hello, he just turned his head and glanced at her calmly, ignoring her at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hathaway's delicate face, but as she rolled her eyes and thought of something, she became full of smile again:
"Ah, it seems that I am a little unpopular? This really makes me very sad. Why, is it just because of a trivial matter like my men accidentally catching someone from your navy?"
Little things?
The ghost spider turned his head suddenly and glared at her, but he couldn't help but grit his teeth and endured it.
"..."
Nuo Xia finally turned around, looked down at the court girl who came to him, and spoke softly:
"The slave trade is expressly prohibited by the world government. Your Highness Hathaway, as the princess of a country, you shouldn't be unclear, right?"
"Ah, you are really thinking about this..."
The noble girl hid her mouth and smiled nonchalantly, "Looking at how you are so young, you are like an old man who is pedantic and ignorant of the world. When will the regulations of the world government control the underground world..."
"Besides, the lives of a bunch of dirty little people are so important that they're worth getting so angry about."
She pouted her mouth slightly, acting coquettishly like a little girl, but what she said was chilling:
"I originally wanted to invite you to a nearby coffee shop for a drink, but you end up worrying about such nonsense. That would make me unhappy..."
"So."
Smiling, she pulled out a pistol from nowhere, pointed directly at Emily in the cage, and pulled the trigger:
"Things like this that can affect your mood when drinking coffee should disappear as soon as possible..."
