Chapter 231 Cobra: Your appearance is half the battle
There is still half a month left before the World Conference, and at the Navy Headquarters, the escort work has been carried out in an orderly manner.
As a rear admiral, Lane naturally has to do errands. The World Government has more than 170 participating countries, but only 50 of the more important countries are eligible to participate in the "World Conference".
Even so, there are less than 50 vice admirals, not to mention that some of them have to be stationed at the headquarters or branches and have no time.
Therefore, the new generation of naval elites, such as Vice Admiral Smoker, Rear Admiral Hina, and Rear Admiral Arthur, who are highly regarded by the navy's top brass, all have to go on a mission to pick up people this time.
Ren started relatively late. He was lucky. His destination was the Kingdom of Alabasta, which was located in the first half of the Grand Route.
As a navy, he can skip the Fish-Man Island route and directly cross Mariejoia and set off from the other side of the Red Continent. The journey is not that far.
Unlike Smoker, he was arranged to go to the Kingdom of Goa, which is the East China Sea.
The participating countries are located all over the world, so the route distances are different, and the time spent on the road is very different. Smoker left a week earlier than Rennes, but it is estimated that he will return later.
Three days after departure.
"This warship is so slow. When will it arrive?"
Ren stood on the observation deck of the warship, looking at the blue sea with nothing but sea water, and couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing his impatient look, Ain shook his head and pouted:
"Okay, it's only been three days at sea, and you're impatient. Have you never sailed on the sea before?"
"I have sailed before, but the journey is not so boring." Ren rolled his eyes.
He used to be a pirate, so he didn't have to worry about military discipline or missions. He could do whatever he wanted. He was bored. He also had talented people like Wen Xi, who knew how to please the boss.
Don't underestimate Wen Xi, he can also play the violin, although no one knows what songs he plays.
During that time, Nicole Robin was also on the ship, serving him as a female secretary. The shady lady was an archaeologist, and she knew astronomy and geography, so she could chat with him to relieve his boredom.
In comparison, Ain is much boring.
Although this girl is quite beautiful, her personality is a bit old-fashioned and boring. She is far less dirty than Robin Si Ji... ahem.
Ain didn't know that Ren was complaining about her being boring in his heart, so he said solemnly:
“Sea sailing is so boring, with constant bumps and unchanging scenery.
I actually don’t understand why so many people like to go out to sea and become pirates. They wander on the sea in the wind and sun every day, eating too much without finishing a meal. They may be killed in storms and tsunamis at any time. After finally finding an island,
, and started burning, killing and looting...
Really, for scum like pirates, I don’t even know what the purpose of their existence is. It would be best if they all died."
At the end of the sentence, the girl's words were full of disgust and disdain.
Renn: "..."
It made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
The girl's words were full of firepower and her attack range was extremely wide. Fortunately, he had already cleared the shore and had stopped playing games like pirates for a long time. It should, maybe, probably not been affected?
Ren looked at the girl's flawless profile and muttered:
"I didn't expect that you are quite jealous of evil."
Zefa's thoughts in his later period were quite extreme, and this girl seemed to be a little affected.
Ain crossed his arms with his chest, his eyes were cold, and his long, soft sea-blue wavy hair was flying in the wind, and he said indifferently:
"I hate pirates. They only cause destruction and hurt others. They do not do any good to the world."
Ren beeped softly: "But the United Kingdom established by the bloodthirsty swordsman almost unified the new world and ended the era of great pirates. This is something that the navy and even the government have not been able to do."
Ain: "..."
(￣e(#￣)
The girl was obviously choked when she was slapped in the face.
Even if she didn't like pirates, she couldn't deny that the rise of the United Kingdom and the establishment of the Kingdom's navy had ushered in a new era.
Now in the new world, all beasts are extinct, Big Mom has ceased its activities, Red Hair lives a low-key life, Nine Snakes is about to merge with the United Kingdom... The Four Emperors are dead in name only.
Moreover, with the development and growth of the Kingdom's navy and the close alliance between various countries, the pattern of the new world has taken on a completely new look, and there is gradually no room for pirates to survive.
This is why Queen Reiju announced that the world has entered the "post-pirate era" and received the acquiescence of all countries around the world, even the navy and the government.
Because all knowledgeable people know that the wave of the great pirate era is receding.
It can be predicted that the next three or four years will be the last afterglow of the great pirate era.
This ended an era of achievements and great achievements that even Ain could not deny.
She gave Arthur a hard look at her naysayer, who refused to lift any pot, turned her head away, and said dryly:
"Well, the swordsman Renn did something wrong."
At most, she could praise her. This was her last act of stubbornness.
The corners of Ren's mouth raised: "Hey hey hey..."
Ain rolled his eyes and said: "Why are you laughing? You are so blind. What does the swordsman Ren's prowess have to do with you?"
Renn: "..."
(乛_乛), I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death if I reveal my identity.
Bickering and arguing with girls became one of the few joys during the trip. Unfortunately, "Black Throne" Hina had other tasks, otherwise the fun would have been twice as much.
Then, the warship drifted at sea for another day and a half, and finally saw the coastline.
The Kingdom of Alabasta is a superpower located in the first half of the Great Waterway. Its capital is Albana. It has a standing army of 600,000 and a population of 10 million.
This is a very exaggerated figure. With the productivity level and unique geographical environment of the OP world, it is very incredible for a country to have a population of over 10 million.
Most countries in this world are small islands with a population of hundreds of thousands.
It can be said that, not to mention anything else, just in terms of population and land area, Alabasta is a very important country.
What's more, the origin of this country is not simple.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The warship docked, Ren and Ain got off the ship, the port was very lively, there were many cargo ships and cruise ships, and you could see running ducks, sea cats, and Kung Fu everywhere.
Manatees and other strange-looking creatures.
"Human, stop, you look a bit strong, do you dare to compete with me?"
Before Ren and Ain had walked a few steps, an uninvited guest stopped them on the coast.
It was a kung fu manatee with a cute appearance and something like a turtle shell on its back. It was in a fighting posture on the roadside, waving its fists twice, as if you dare to challenge me.
Renn raised his eyebrows, a little amused, and complained:
"I've been around for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this - someone suddenly jumped out on the roadside, provoking me, so that I could show off and slap myself in the face."
Really, it was the first time he enjoyed this kind of protagonist treatment.
Unfortunately, his opponent was so incompetent that he couldn't get enough energy at all. He was not even a human being, but a turtle or a cow?
Kung Fu Manatee: "..."
(?◇?)?
What is this human being saying? Why can't it understand it?
"Go away, ignore it."
Before Ren could continue to speak, Ain grabbed his sleeve, walked around the kung fu manatee, and walked to the other side.
Ren scratched his head: "What's wrong? Why are we afraid of this turtle?"
Kung Fu Manatee was furious: "It's not a turtle, it's a cow, a manatee! You're racist!"
Renn: "..."
(゜ロ゜)
This person...this person is so terrifying, and his future is limitless.
Being pulled away by the girl, he was a little confused: "Why are we afraid of this manatee?"
"It will be more troublesome if you win. It will pester you to become a disciple." Ain said helplessly.
Renn: "..."
(一`′一)
It's amazing, Kung Fu Manatee. If you win, you will show off your power. If you lose, you will kneel down and become a disciple. It is indeed an OP world, and only here is rich in such strange creatures.
Because he did not want to accept a disciple, and faced with the provocation of this naive kung fu manatee, Renn chose to "suck it up" and took a detour with sister Ain.
This kung fu manatee may not know it, but it has inadvertently made history - scaring off the demon king without any injuries.
Such an astonishing record has surpassed the King of the Offshore, Bandit King Sig, Ax King Mengka, Sword Master Johnny and Sword God Joseph, and has become the first of the six god-level masters in the OP world...
Letting the sailors stay on the coast to guard the warships, Ren and Ain rented two running ducks and crossed a desert to the rapeseed flower market.
Rapeseed Flower Market is a port city in Alabasta, famous for its perfume.
There is no need to rush to the royal capital Albana. When contacted by phone a few days ago, the King of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra, was already waiting in the port city after knowing that the navy was coming.
Two hours later, Renn successfully met King Kobra and his daughter Princess Vivi at the door of a hotel they had agreed on previously.
There were no surprises. The Sand Crocodile was used as an experience package by the Straw Hats a long time ago. The Baroque Working Group under his command has also been disbanded. The members are in jail and on the run, and they can't make any waves.
Although Sand Crocodile was later released from prison, he did not return to Alabasta.
Without the tycoon behind the scenes, Alabasta gradually recovered from the pain and became prosperous and stable again after the "One Piece Stealing the Nation" incident.
"King Kobra, I was delayed a bit on the way and kept you waiting." Ren saw King Kobra outside the hotel and greeted him with a smile.
Cobra looked at Major General Arthur intently.
Very young, in his early twenties, with regular features, plump and handsome eyes, eyes as clear as sapphires, flowing blond hair that looks like strands of sunlight condensed, and a gentle, refreshing smile on his face that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
Cobra did not act like a king, and took the initiative to shake hands with Ren, smiling warmly and saying:
"Thank you, Major General Arthur.
We had been in contact by phone before, but when we met today, it turned out that a hero comes from a young age. He has become a rear admiral at this age and has a bright future."
"Haha, Your Majesty the King, you're welcome. I'm still far from success."
"Young man, you are too humble. Your appearance alone is already half the battle."
"..."
Some people praise him for being handsome again, how embarrassing it is.
Come on, please say a few more words, I like to hear it... The smile on Ren's face became much more enthusiastic.
It's not that he is narcissistic. Recently, more and more people have praised him for being handsome.
The face of "Old Sword" Arthur Pendragon is actually no more handsome than his original face, but there are very few people who praise his original face for being handsome.
There was no way around it. The bloodthirsty swordsman was so powerful that many people did not regard him as a normal person. He was severely ignored and treated coldly in terms of his appearance.
While Ren and Kobra were exchanging pleasantries, Princess Vivi was also quietly sizing him up.
'This Major General Arthur is so handsome...'
The princess said secretly in her heart.
She was not a nymphomaniac, but she also admitted that the appearance, figure and temperament of the rear admiral in front of her were impeccable, making him a perfect male idol. The term "Prince Charming" seemed to be tailor-made for him.
"Hello, Princess Weiwei."
Ren didn't forget his sister. After being polite to the king, he took the initiative to get in front of the princess.
Weiwei is a standard beauty, her skin is as radiant as snow, her watery eyes are as bright and clear as gems, she has long aqua-blue hair that reaches her waist, her skin is supple and white, and she always has a gentle smile on her face.
Beautiful and moving.
"Hello, Major General Arthur." Weiwei smiled calmly at him, as gentle as water and a little reserved, full of the elegance of a lady.
"Just call me Arthur."
Ren's handsome and unrestrained face was holding the old sword, showing a supreme male god-level 360-degree sunny smile, and said, "I have heard for a long time that Her Royal Highness the Princess is naturally beautiful and has the allure of a moon-shy flower. When I see you today, I
I found those rumors to be too modest.”
"..."
Weiwei's pretty face turned red, she didn't dare to look directly at his smiling face, and subconsciously looked away.
Obviously, she was flirted with by (the scumbag).
After all, she is an untouched girl, and she can't stand it when a young man with the level of Prince Charming praises her beauty like this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "...It's an award."
"Wherever, Your Highness Princess, please come with me and block the justice of the navy. I will do my best to protect your safety along the way and prevent any villains or pirates from disturbing you."
Renn suppressed his smile and said righteously.
With handsome and delicate facial features and serious words full of power and faith, he looks like a perfect knight and flower protector.
Weiwei: "..."
(*/w\*)
The girl blushed a little and responded politely, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was a little embarrassed and was obviously flirted with.
"Major General Arthur... is very reliable. I will ask you to escort me all the way."
"Just call me Arthur. As a navy, I cannot tolerate anyone offending a beautiful and kind lady."
Weiwei: "..."
All kinds of overt and covert compliments made her a little embarrassed.
Kobra:(?_?)
In front of him, do you think you are taking his old father seriously when you offer him cabbage?
As a perverted uncle...ahem, serious uncle, through just a few conversations, Cobra was sure that Major General Arthur was a playboy, very disdainful, and very scumbag.
Don't ask him why he can tell that people of the same kind always... Well, anyway, this Major General Arthur has a slippery tongue, a slippery tone, and a fat head, which is not a good thing.
Fearing that his cabbage would be eaten by pigs, Cobra reluctantly gave up on chatting with the beautiful female navy, forced his way between his daughter and the pretty girl, coughed lightly and said:
"It's time to go, Major General Arthur."
Renn: "..."
Quite alert.
He could see the vigilance and preparedness in Kobra's eyes, as well as the same kind of... well, that weird, shameless LSP aura.
"plz follow me."
When it came to business, Renn did not continue flirting with the girl, but took the lead and led the way.
He had never thought about picking up girls. He was just out of boredom to have some fun flirting with Princess Weiwei. There were as many beauties as he wanted from various countries and major forces in the Lion Heart Kingdom.
But he refused to accept any of them and told them all to go back to their hometowns.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Princess Vivi and Cobra successfully boarded the warship anchored on the coast. Ren stood on the deck and ordered:
