Qing Zhi rode his bicycle leisurely and followed Nuo Xia into this seaside town.
The soldiers of the Royal Army, as well as the civilians who retreated early and took shelter, have now recovered from the shocking scene of Ten Thousand Thunders.
Therefore, Nuo Xia and Aokiji, who saved the town at the critical moment, were immediately welcomed with the highest level of heroism, with applause, cheers and whistles that never stopped for a long time.
Especially Nuo Xia, as he walked along the way, he was almost overwhelmed by the eager gazes, bold blowing kisses, and rose petals flying in the sky from countless girls.
In her arms, she held a pile of bouquets, which were piled higher than others.
"It is said that Dressrosa is the land of love and passion, and it truly deserves its reputation..."
Qing Zhi pushed the bicycle behind him. He sighed quietly at first, and then murmured with a bitter face, "Speaking of which, I am single, why don't there any cute girls come to give me flowers..."
Gan.
Is this the treatment you get when you appear together with this guy Nuo Xia?
The protagonist, it’s not his turn to look like this, he will always be the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Soon, after crossing the entire street, the temporary palace appeared in front of us. King Liku was already waiting at the gate with Cyrus and the rest of the guards.
"Lieutenant General Nosha! Lieutenant General Kuzan!"
Before the two of them stepped onto the steps, King Riku had already taken the initiative to quickly walk down the steps, holding out his right hand with excitement, "Thank you for arriving in time! Kill the invading pirates, otherwise,
The consequences are just..."
King Liku's eyes were slightly red and swollen. When Cyrus was defeated and the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse, he, who was also fighting bloody battles, was really filled with despair.
"Nothing, this is the duty of our navy."
Nuo Xia smiled, bent down with Qing Zhi, shook hands with the king politely, and with the latter's warm invitation, stepped into the palace to participate in the celebration banquet that was almost ready.
"This guy is pretty good."
Qingzhi looked at King Liku who was leading the way in front of him, and suddenly spoke softly to Nuo Xia.
He had gone on some missions in the past, but he was not less angry at these worlds joining the royal family.
Some members of the royal family took it for granted that the navy had obviously saved him, and not only were they condescending and bossing him around;
Some were even furious, blaming the Navy for arriving too late, causing heavy property losses and so on...
King Liku in front of him was able to personally lead his troops to fight on the front lines to resist foreign enemies, and he did not care about his identity. He knew how to repay his kindness and kept his posture extremely low when facing them.
He is obviously not the same type of person as those royal nobles who are used to being aloof.
"It's really rare."
Nuo Xia nodded slightly and sighed with emotion. There are more than 200 franchised countries in the world. It would be difficult for a king with such a magnanimous attitude to add up to double digits, right?
Just then.
Next to the corridor in front of the palace, a dark-haired girl in her early teens hurried past.
After noticing the two strangers coming in from the corner of her eye, she turned her head to look curiously. After seeing Nuo Xia's appearance clearly, her eyes widened and she froze in place.
Nuo Xia and Qing Zhi also noticed the black-haired girl, but their reactions were completely opposite.
After Nuo Xia glanced at it, he smiled kindly at the black-haired girl and then looked away.
As for Aoki Pheasant, his pupils shrank instantly and his breathing became rapid.
Nicole Robin?
Shouldn't she still be in Xihai? How could she appear here?
What exactly happened...
His mind was racing with thoughts, and he hesitated for a moment. He was about to step forward to ask questions, but was stopped by a strong hand on his shoulder. At the same time, Nuo Xia's lazy voice also reached his ears:
"Don't be stupid, this is King Riku's daughter, the little princess of Dressrosa, Violet, not the person you think."
Eh?
Qingzhi turned around in shock and saw Nuo Xia shrugging his shoulders and looking at him speechlessly, "I'm really convinced by you. Are you blind, can you admit this? Can you take a closer look?"
The princess of Dressrosa? Aokiji was surprised and doubtful, and took a closer look at the black-haired girl.
I found that although this face was carved from the same mold as Nico Robin, there were indeed some differences, such as the color of the pupils, which were quite different...
Fortunately, Nuo Xia stopped him. He scratched his hair and looked a little embarrassed.
Nuo Xia saw all this, and felt a little funny in his heart. This guy was confused because he cared about her, right? It seems that when Robin was growing up, he secretly wiped her butt several times and raised her completely as a daughter.
Already...
But you really can’t blame him for admitting your mistake.
Who knows, Violet and Robin do look a lot alike.
Looking at Violet's petite figure shyly running away, Nuo Xia pinched her chin and looked thoughtfully.
Although this princess had a completely different background from Robin, her experience was no better than Robin's, and was even a little more miserable and rough.
In the future timeline of the original work, in order to prevent her father from being killed by Doflamingo, she was forced to change her name to "Violet" and work as an assassin in the Trebol Legion of the Don Quixote family. She worked for the enemy and suffered a lot.
suffered ten years of humiliation...
When the haze above Tokushima finally dissipated, and before the Straw Hat Pirates left, Violet held a rose in her mouth, expressionlessly dancing flamenco in the sun...
That scene was so sad and emotional.
but……
"Now that I'm here, Dressrosa doesn't have to suffer like that anymore."
Nuo Xia raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the sky, looking towards the distant North Sea, his eyes flashed slightly, "Don Quixote family, Doflamingo..."
If I remember correctly.
In the second half of this year, the Warring Council sent Rocinante to Beihai and went undercover in the Don Quixote family to collect evidence and provide coordinate information for Lieutenant General He's subsequent pursuit.
The story of Mr. "Corazon" and Luo also quietly began to unfold from this time...
…………
The banquet was not particularly grand. After all, this was not the royal capital and it had just experienced a war.
But the atmosphere was not affected at all. The dancers danced in a unique Tokushima tropical style, the music was melodious, cups were exchanged at the banquet table, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet was over, the navy officially stationed in Tokushima.
At King Riku's request, Flying Squirrel and Ghost Spider, together with their marines and the Kingdom's escorts, patrolled along the coastline every day to strictly guard against the subsequent invasion of pirates with evil intentions.
But it turns out.
King Riku obviously overthought and underestimated the power of the name Nosha as a deterrent to the pirates in the New World.
Ever since that day, when thunder fell from the sky and thousands of pirates disappeared in an instant, Tokushima has become a forbidden place for pirates to decide who will go and who will die. No one wants to provoke those who are currently on the island.
That big guy.
Three full days passed.
The coastline is still calm. Not to mention the massive invasion with artillery fire, not even a pirate sampan can be seen...
Fortunately, Nuo Xia still focused on practicing most of the time, which was no different from when he was at the headquarters. He would still talk on the phone with Motutu Shia and the others every day.
Aoki is alone, so bored that he can only ride his bicycle around the entire island every day, hoping to meet a super brave pirate who sneaks ashore at a certain corner...
but.
In the early morning of the fourth day, an emergency finally occurred.
Not long after Nosha and Aoki had finished their breakfast, and were arguing whether the specialty grilled elbow of Dede Island was better served dipped in sugar or salt, suddenly the phone rang with a rapid "Bulu Bulu" sound.
When I answered the phone, a strange middle-aged man's voice sounded on the other end.
"It's... Lieutenant General Nuo Xia, right?"
Weak and difficult, like covering a wound and holding back the pain.
"I am Xiumi, the team leader of CP-0, and the commander of this historical operation. We are here on Hal Island. A war broke out here last night, and Karina and her group are also here..."
"The situation is not right now. We urgently need support. Please rush as soon as possible..."
boom!
A loud explosion drowned his voice.
Then the communication signal was suddenly interrupted, and the phone bug returned to its original state.
Both Nuo Xia and Aoki's expressions became a little solemn, and they quickly asked someone to get a chart of the nearby area. According to the above display, Hal Island is not very far from Dressrosa. The warships started at full speed.
It only takes one day and one night to get there.
But, obviously.
The captain named Xiu Mi may not be in a good situation right now, and it involves the historical text of road signs. If he takes a warship...
As the day and night passed, the day lilies were getting cold, not to mention Xiumi, and even the entire CP-0 unit was in danger of being destroyed.
"Ah la la, it seems that something has finally been done..."
Qingzhi looked at Nuo Xia, "Although it's usually not very pleasant to see the guys in the CP department, at this time you still have to help... Should you go or should I go?"
Although Tokushima has been calm these past few days, this is based on the premise that they are stationed here. After all, someone still needs to stay behind.
"I see that you have nothing to do these days, so you just ride your bicycle around every day."
Nuo Xia glanced at the sea map, shrugged and said, "If you improve your riding skills, break through the bottleneck, and can pedal faster than me, then..."
"You go, I'll stay behind."
Qing Zhi raised his hand to interrupt the second half of his words and sighed sadly.
————————
New world, a certain sea area.
In the early morning, the weather was still sunny and sunny, but now suddenly dark clouds gathered, and a heavy rain came without warning.
In the high sky, the wings of thunder flashed, and Nuo Xia's figure was like a blue arc of electricity, traveling between the clouds. The harsh weather environment had almost no impact on him.
This kind of "Dou Qi Transformed Wing" flying at full speed actually consumes a lot of physical energy.
But the situation was urgent, and Nuo Xia couldn't care less. Anyway, his endurance bar had a high upper limit. After flying all the way to Hal Island, he still had 70 to 80% of his physical strength left, which was enough for him to cope with various situations.
In comparison.
He was more concerned about what exactly CP-0's team that captured the text of history had been doing these past few days and what difficulties they had encountered on that island.
It's a pity that no one can give him the answer.
The same goes for the headquarters. When he first set out, he contacted Warring States through a phone bug. The old man was also at a loss and didn't know what to ask.
It is obvious that this World Government operation is independent of the Navy. From beginning to end, no details were disclosed to the Navy.
The only latest information we know is that since last night, the three sea emperors seemed to have discovered something and urgently dispatched additional manpower, each with top-notch combat power.
There is a vague sign that a war is imminent.
"Huh? That's..."
Suddenly, Nuo Xia seemed to notice something. He raised his eyebrows and looked somewhere below.
In this sudden sea storm, a pirate ship with a head like a giant scorpion was sailing on the sea with difficulty.
And the black pirate flag flying on the mast looks a bit familiar no matter how you look at it...
Nuo Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, his wings suddenly vibrated, and his body flew downwards like lightning.
————————
"Damn it, what the hell is the weather!"
On the deck, a tall and thin man wrapped in rough leather armor suddenly slapped the railing and cursed with a gloomy face:
"I've been really unlucky for hundreds of years. I've been looking for Karina for several days and finally got the news, but I had to stay put and monitor the situation until Quinn comes over!"
"Mr. Kaidu is good at everything else, but he is too partial! He is obviously a big sign. Why does this action mean that that damn fat guy can be the head coach? I can only do some dirty work and have to listen.
