Chapter 271 The card face, the gift of the five old stars
"Title Page Serial: Straw Hat Chapter 5 is a boy, let's call him Luffy, right?"
"At the beginning of the day after the rain, a loud cry of a baby suddenly came from inside the dilapidated thatched hut. Long, who was already restless outside the door, immediately opened the door and rushed in. The young woman who had just given birth was a little tired, but her pale face could not be concealed.
Feeling that joy, she raised her head, smiled and said to the dragon..."

Hades, Silbaz Reilly.
The deputy captain of the Roger Pirates, a man with a bounty of over 4 billion beli.
This is undoubtedly a name that resonates loudly. Looking at the entire sea, even the people on remote islands all over the world who are not well-informed, everyone knows and knows about it.
Therefore.
One can imagine the shock felt by everyone present at this moment.
It's kind of funny.
Regarding this battle between swordsmen, the sailors were originally amazed that this old man with an ordinary appearance could actually fight back and forth with Lieutenant General Nosha.
But now, after learning about Rayleigh's true identity, everyone's reaction has completely changed.
——As expected of Mr. Nosha!
He was actually able to fight the legendary Pluto Rayleigh to a close, and even forced him to retreat voluntarily!
Suddenly, Nosha's prestige in the hearts of these sailors rose to a higher level, even surpassing Sakaski and the other three, and almost equaling Sengoku and Cyborg Kong.
Of course, the top position will always belong to Garp.
Nosha knew nothing about these things.
After he appeased Emily and others, he simply cleaned up several human auction houses in the surrounding illegal areas with the mentality that they had come, and wiped out a group of pirates and gang members.
Many poor slaves were rescued.
The news quickly spread to other areas.
Suddenly, the entire Chambord Islands were in a state of panic, and many pirates who had just arrived at the port fled in panic before they could get coated;
And the dark forces that make deals are also keeping silent, and they are hiding underground like ostriches, not even daring to show their heads, for fear of suffering disaster.
Talk about it.
The navy is now incompletely organized, Zefa has been relegated to the second line, and Garp has repeatedly shied away from promotion orders. On the surface, there is only one active general in the Warring States Period.
But unconsciously.
It seems that the name Nuoxia has become as intimidating as a general...
————————
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
Nuo Xia, who had just finished some work in the Chambord Islands, was summoned to his office by Marshal Cyborg Kong within two days of his return.
"Speak for yourself."
Cyborg had a straight face and stared at Nuo Xia seriously: "You have committed such a big thing again this time. Should the headquarters send you to prison, or will you just go in and stay there?"
"To jail?"
Nuo Xia crossed her legs and was fiddling with the phone on the table. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said:
"No way, Marshal, this time I killed a bunch of pirate captains in one go. The total reward is almost one billion beli. I haven't recorded this credit yet. Why did you ask about the crime first?"
?”
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
Gang Gukong had no expression on his face and said coldly:
"You killed a princess of the kingdom in public. The Maginot royal family was so angry that they made more than a dozen calls to the World Government to accuse you of your atrocities. Do you know how much pressure this department is facing?"
"It seems a bit big..."
Nuo Xia casually picked up the senbei on the table and threw it into his mouth. It smelled like seaweed. He immediately spat it out and threw it into the trash can in disgust:
"It tastes really bad. How could there be such an anti-human taste like seaweed? Well... it's really not kind to let you, Marshal, take the blame. How about I resign and claim to the outside world that I was fired?"
Give it a try!
Seeing Nuo Xia's ungrateful look, the old man finally couldn't stand it anymore, kicked him, and said angrily:
"What Xiao He and Seng Guo told me before is absolutely right. You little bastard, when you are not familiar with me, you are polite and act like an honest person, but once you get to know each other, you start talking nonsense..."
Nuo Xia smiled and didn't say anything, and refilled his own tea cup.
Cyborg Kong looked at it and shook his head helplessly. In the entire Navy Headquarters, the only Lieutenant General who dared to be so casual in front of him, except Garp, was the only one in front of him, right?
You know, even Kizaru, who usually acts like a lazy man, sat upright and behaved like a primary school student when he arrived in his office.
"Of course there's no need to resign. The department has no intention of punishing you."
Cyborg Kong took a sip of tea and snorted coldly:
"That Princess Hathaway just clearly violated the rules of the world government, but she still dared to use the navy. How can the Kingdom of Maginot have the nerve to hold it accountable? Huh, if I can't even go back to this, there's no need to do this again.
Admiral of the Navy!"
"As expected of Marshal Kong, he is so domineering and arrogant!"
Nuo Xia immediately clapped, but when Cyborg Kong couldn't stand it any longer, his face turned red and he pressed his hands to stop. He smiled cheerfully and said a little curiously:
"By the way, Marshal, what about those second-generation dandies among the Tianlong people? They all probably hate me to the core, right? Don't you have any objections?"
"It really caused quite a big fuss. We even planned to rush to the headquarters together to settle the score with you."
Cyborg Kong glanced at him, "But this was just a child's nonsense. It was quickly stopped by the elders of the family. Do you know the reason?"
Nuo Xia thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Five Old Stars?"
"My mind is spinning pretty fast."
Cyborg Kong glanced at him appreciatively and nodded slightly, "The Kingdom of Maginot was playing drums to claim grievances. It caused such a big fuss that they stabbed it to the top that night. After the five adults found out, they directly ordered the news of this incident to be blocked.
Rumor has it that the Maginot royal family’s request for accountability was rejected.”
"If your intention is so obvious, those elders of the Tianlong family will naturally not let the younger members of the family do whatever they want."
Having said this, Cyborg Kong smiled and said, "By the way, Noxia, your wedding to Gion and the others is scheduled for next week, right?"
"Yes, May 5th." Nuo Xia nodded, raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "Aren't you talking about the Five Old Stars? Why do you ask about this suddenly?"
"Because the five adults also asked me about this incident when I was on the phone yesterday."
Cyborg Kong stared into Nuo Xia's eyes, his expression becoming meaningful.
"After knowing the confirmed date, although it was not stated clearly on the phone, the meaning was quite obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also send someone to send you a congratulatory gift on your wedding day..."
"ha?"
This time Nuo Xia was a little stunned.
"It's surprising. When I heard it, my reaction was much bigger than yours."
Cyborg Kong laughed and patted Nuo Xia on the shoulder:
"The supreme leader of the World Government sends congratulatory gifts to his subordinates. Looking at naval history, this is an unheard of precedent!"
"Hey, hey, Noxia, it seems that the five adults are really not optimistic about your future..."
Not generally optimistic.
When Nuo Xia walked out of the top-floor office and walked alone in the corridor, her mind was still a little dazed, and all she could think of were Ganggu Kong's words.
No, this script is wrong?
Nuo Xia held her chin and thought about it, puzzled.
He has obviously always adhered to his own way of justice. He has never taken the aristocratic power or the constraints of rules seriously. He is quite arbitrary and follows a similar path to Garp.
Logically speaking, like Garp, he should also become the kind of thorn in the flesh that the world government's leaders see clearly, but they can't pull out and can't move, right?
Why is this momentum becoming more and more promising now?
Hey, those old men, don’t they really think that when they become leaders of the navy in the future, they can end this era of great pirates and completely stabilize the rule of the world government?
What a joke!
Nuo Xia held on to the railing, looked in the direction of Mary Joa, and sneered.
Compared to this.
Those five old men might as well hope that when I hang them up as street lamps in the future, they can use a better rope for the sake of the gift...
————————
Dark, humid, and hot.
There were pools of boiling blood everywhere, and seas of fire burning with raging fire. From time to time, pirates who had just come in would be shivering and pushed into the scalding heat for disinfection, letting out shrill, inhumane screams.
The jailers were patrolling shirtless, constantly wiping the sweat from their foreheads. Even the phone bugs on the wall couldn't bear the high temperature and collapsed into a weak ball.
Here is Impel City, underground LV4.
It is also a veritable "scorching hell".
In a remote corner, in a certain cell.
A man was sitting against the wall, his messy long hair hanging loosely behind his head, covered in lice, and the prison uniform on his body that had not been changed for a long time gave off a disgusting sour smell.
But these are nothing compared to his eyes.
Empty, numb, distracted, without a shred of hope.
It simply doesn't look like the eyes a human should have.
Only when his eyes occasionally fall on the cyan plastic bracelet on his wrist, will the man's triangular eyes barely shine with a faint light...
Emily…
That was the only souvenir left to him by his fiancée Emily.
The man still remembered that not long after they started falling in love, he went shopping with Emily. The cash-strapped girl spent a long time carefully selecting from street stalls before she gritted her teeth and bought this bracelet for him, and she even blushed with embarrassment.
, I sheepishly promised that I would give him a better look when his military rank and salary increase in the future...
Just now...
Everything bursts like a bubble, and there is no going back.
Step, step, step...
Suddenly, steady footsteps came from outside the iron fence from far to near.
It's almost meal time, is it the jailer delivering meals here again?
Shiliu didn't raise his head, still looking down at the emerald green disadvantage bracelet on his wrist.
The reluctance, resentment, rage, and various emotions he felt when he heard the bad news were all relieved when he laughed wantonly when he killed all his enemies.
Today, he is like a puppet without senses. He no longer cares about everything in the outside world, including the prison environment, the quality of food, the attitude of the jailer, etc.
Although he can feel that since last week, his treatment in all aspects has been comprehensively improved.
He was moved to a quieter and more comfortable prison. He was provided with hot water for bathing every day. The meals were personally delivered by a dedicated prison guard. The meat and vegetables were nutritious and nutritious. They were far better than other prisoners on the same floor. He did not need to be burned by scalding oil every day.
The punishment of burning...
It made the criminals nearby red-eyed with envy and going crazy with envy.
And before that.
When he was first imprisoned, because he caused a lot of trouble to Impel Down and injured a bunch of jailer beasts, his treatment was the worst among all the prisoners, and he was given special "care" every day.
.
Xi Liu is not a fool. He naturally knows the reason for such a huge difference.
There is no doubt that it was that guy Nuo Xia who, after learning the news, used the favor and said hello...
only.
The corners of Shiliu's mouth twitched slightly, and a bitter smile appeared.
He was very grateful to Nuo Xia. Normally, he would have bought the best wine and got that guy drunk.
But for him who was already devastated, what was the point?
And that idiot Rosinandi, both of them were probably worried after knowing what happened to them...
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, a deep voice came into his ears, and Xiliu was slightly startled. It was not the familiar voice of the jailer delivering food. Who was it?
He slowly raised his head, just in time to see the cell door being pushed open.
A man who was taller than himself and had devilish horns strode in. He didn't care whether the floor was dirty or not, and sat down cross-legged, spreading all the food and wine he had brought in front of him.
Deputy Director Magellan.
Of course, Xiliu will not forget this man. He made a big fuss in the city that day. It was this terrifyingly powerful monster who defeated him with his own hands and imprisoned him.
"What does this mean?"
He glanced at the sumptuous food and wine on the floor and sneered, "Do you think you were too embarrassed last time and the military court's sentence was not enough, so you plan to send me on my way in advance?"
"Where did you want to go?"
Magellan looked at this guy speechlessly and tossed the wine glass over, "As for why I think so darkly? I'm here specifically to tell you the good news this time."
Annunciation?
What other good news can there be for yourself?
Xi Liu frowned, and Diao Sanjiao's eyes flashed with a cold light. Just as he was about to have an attack, Magellan threw another letter over.
He glanced subconsciously and saw that the signature on the lower right corner of the envelope was Romanov Nosha's name.
"The urgent letter just arrived from headquarters."
Magellan filled a bottle of wine for him and said with a smile, "Take it apart and take a look?"
"..."
Xi Liu glanced at him coldly and said nothing, but still opened the envelope and started browsing silently from the beginning.
After just a few words of reading, he was shocked all over, clenched the letter tightly, and his eyes burst into disbelief.
"Emily...isn't dead?"
"Rescued by Nuo Xia?"
It took a long time to finish reading the whole article. When he raised his head again, Shiliu's expression was still a little dazed, and he was in a trance as if he was in a dream.
"Yes, he threatened CP-9 to help, and personally went to the Chambord Islands. In order to save people, he even killed the princess of a kingdom."
Magellan looked at him, his eyes full of uncontrollable envy, and said quietly: "You guy, Mr. Nuo Xia has worked really hard for you..."
