Kizaru, who was chatting happily with William on the bow, extended an invitation to the other party and proposed that the warship would give them a ride. Anyway, this sea area was not far from the coast of Sentin Island.
William readily agreed and boarded the warship with a few of his close subordinates, while the rest of the ordinary sailors stayed where they were, waiting for ships to be sent from the port to rescue them.
The warship carrying William and his party continued to rush to Shengting Island. More than half an hour later, William and others were dropped off at a port called "Rapeseed Flower Port".
The name Nosha is very familiar.
He remembered that it was here that Luffy reunited with Ace nineteen years later, and also collided with Smoker who was following him, starting a confusing melee.
The trading place agreed between the Swimsuit Pirates and the underground arms dealer is called the Jevo Peninsula, which is directly north of Rapeseed Flower Port and is about an hour away. It is considered a convenient way.
Therefore, the warship's voyage was not delayed for long because of William and the others, only about ten minutes at most.
"Have you got anything to say, Lieutenant General?"
As soon as the warship left Rape Flower Port, Nuo Xia found Kizaru and asked straight to the point.
He had just noticed that since William got on the boat, Kizaru had been sitting next to him, smiling and asking questions.
Although Prince William could still maintain his elegant self-control on the outside and answered every question with a smile, judging from his eagerness to take people off the ship as soon as he arrived at the port, he was probably impatient with Kizaru's various questions.
"Ah, have you been guessed?" Kizaru was not surprised. He looked at Nuo Xia and raised his eyebrows, "Are you also suspicious of that guy?"
"certainly."
Noxia nodded, "Major General Bulma just disappeared in the Jevo Peninsula last night, and yet William appeared in the nearby waters early this morning. It is difficult not to make people think of him."
It is not something that ordinary people can do to make a branch major general and the entire ship's soldiers lose contact without even being able to send out a signal for help.
In Noxia's opinion, the suspicion of this king's Shichibukai is greater than that of the mysterious arms supplier.
"It's a pity, boy, this matter really has nothing to do with him."
Kizaru saw what he was thinking, and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "This guy attended the birthday party held by the neighboring country's Princess Anjia last night at the sea, and got drunk in front of countless people. By three or four in the morning
I just set off to return home at 0:00, and I still smell of alcohol, so I have no chance to take action."
"The eldest princess of Anjia Kingdom?" Nuo Xia was slightly startled, "Is she his mother?"
"right."
Kizaru said slowly, "That country is also one of the big countries among the countries that join the World Government, with a population of nearly 10 million. The king is nearly sixty years old. His only son died unexpectedly last year, and his only brother and sister is the eldest princess Anjia.
Being alone, do you know what that means, Nosha?"
"...Isn't it?"
Nuo Xia was stunned, "Will this William become the king of Anjia Kingdom in the future?"
"At least for now, he is indeed the first in line to succeed."
Kizaru curled his lips and said, "So to be honest, when I confirmed that this guy had nothing to do with Bulma, I was really relieved... Such a noble guy cannot be beaten or caught. The most terrifying thing is that I don't want to
It’s provoking.”
"Then how did he get a reward before?"
Nuo Xia frowned.
"Because at that time, this guy was not a prince yet." Kizaru said lazily, "To be precise, even he himself didn't know his identity yet."
"……What's the meaning?"
"Illegitimate son." Kizaru looked up at the sky and spoke leisurely, "That guy is Princess Anjia who had an affair in her early years and had an affair with the King of Alabasta... Well, saying that doesn't seem to be very respectful to the nobles. Forget it, anyway.
They're not around."
"In short, after he was born, he was secretly abandoned by the eldest princess. He only survived thanks to the adoption and support of kind-hearted people. After that, he seemed to have been hanging out in the underground boxing world. After Roger died, he went to sea to become a pirate and explore the Grand Line.
, he has gained quite a reputation.”
"It wasn't until a year ago that the Angiya royal family lost its heir and faced the embarrassing situation of having their bloodline cut off. After consultation with the Alabasta royal family, they jointly recognized his identity. It was then that the World Government canceled the
His bounty."
"A prince born from fighting in the slums, his experience is quite legendary..."
Nuo Xia sneered, "But a year ago... this guy hadn't even become a Shichibukai yet, but just because he was confirmed as a prince, the reward was canceled directly?"
The bounty of 150 million beli is gone, which is quite ironic.
"Then what can we do? We have to take into account the face of the royal families of the two countries..."
Kizaru rubbed his eyebrows, "And after this guy regained his identity, he became very popular in the Kingdom of Alabasta, and his status was almost not lower than that of the heir to the throne, Kobra. I heard that he seemed to have a relationship with Marigio this year. It seems that
I want to seek to bring my own lineage back to the Holy Land and restore my identity as a Celestial Dragon."
Isn't this something Doflamingo will do in the future?
"It's not that easy. After all, it was the ancestors of the Kingdom of Alabasta who took the initiative to give up their identity as a Celestial Dragon and move out."
Nuo Xia pondered, "The other families of the Tianlong people will not easily agree to such a request..."
"Who knows, anyway, the relationship between the two parties is going well at the moment."
Kizaru shrugged, "Anyway, just remember that he is an extremely troublesome guy. His coming to be the Shichibukai is more like giving face to our navy. The headquarters has always been polite to him. A little guy like us
You trash fish was crushed to death with just one finger, so don't mess with it if you can..."
Are you considered a bad fish?
Nuo Xia glanced at Kizaru speechlessly.
What this guy said just now has always been very serious. Why did he start performing traditional arts in the end and be so humble that people want to beat him up...
…………
Rapeseed Flower Harbor.
After watching the warship go away, William, who was still drunk, stepped into the luxurious carriage specially sent by the royal family with the help of his guards.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting in the palace. Do you want to rush to the royal capital now?"
"Well, let's go."
William smiled gently. After the curtain was closed, the smile on his face gradually faded. He took out a photo from his arms and rubbed his eyebrows in distress.
"It's true, I almost forgot about you, why did you send it to your door yourself..."
He gently stroked the photo, as if stroking the skin of a loved one. After a long time, he raised his head, looked out the window at the receding pier, and whispered to himself:
"Although I don't understand what these navy guys want to do when they come to Shengting Island...they actually sent a lieutenant general, but if it's me, it shouldn't be difficult to find an opportunity to quietly leave one person behind, right?"
The sun shines through the window and falls on the photo.
It was a charming woman with fiery red hair, dressed in black, standing on the bow of the ship, holding a bow and arrow, with an expression as cold as ice.
