Nuo Xia did not interrupt his divination, but stood by with great interest and quietly watched the whole process.
It's quite a magical ability, and it has nothing to do with Devil Fruit. I don't know if it's an ancestral secret in the Hawkins family, or where I learned it from.
"How do you know me?" He took off the hood on his head and asked casually.
"You laughed."
Hawkins smiled bitterly, "With your prestige and reputation, in the new world, the number of people who cannot be recognized in person is probably even rarer than the fate that cannot be predicted by cards."
"Then why are you not panicking at all?"
Noxia glanced at the black skull flag flying on the mast, and then he recognized that it was the flag of the Beasts Pirates.
"That's what I'm about to explain to you."
Hawkins stroked his chest and bowed slightly, then said respectfully, "If they are pirates, they will naturally be scared out of their wits by now. Our identities are not what you think..."
He suddenly came to his senses and looked up at the smiling Nuo Xia in astonishment: "You...you have seen it a long time ago?"
"And you?"
Nuo Xia smiled noncommittally and looked back at a figure behind the crowd. A smile appeared on his face: "Long time no see, Galio."
"Nosha!!!"
Surprised, a white and fat figure rushed over with cheers and bumped into Nuo Xia's arms, "Haha! It's really you! I just saw the lightning on you and I thought it was, but I'm not sure yet.
It turns out that I really guessed it right!”
"If your aura hadn't been able to hide it from me, I almost wouldn't have recognized you based on your appearance."
Nuo Xia laughed and hugged each other hard. After they separated, he looked at the fat middle-aged blond man with a beard in front of him, with a slightly strange expression on his face.
"I, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right? Why have you suddenly gained so much weight?"
The other party was none other than Shia's most loyal admirer, the King of Lot Kingdom, Galio VI.
A stubborn, naive, and somewhat childish king.
Nuo Xia had always had a good impression of him, but clearly in his memory, Galio was still stupid, but he was also a handsome, blond guy.
How come it turned into a water gun form so quickly?
"Hehe." Galio smiled sheepishly and scratched his hair and said, "I can't help it. The food Aria made is so delicious. When I was in China, I had to eat extra every night. For two years,
I gained over a hundred pounds..."
Aria?
Nuo Xia was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, remembering that when she was still at the headquarters a few years ago, she heard Shia mention that Galio had finally held his own wedding ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of a civil servant who has been in love with him for a long time. She seems to have this name. The relationship between the couple is very deep and harmonious, and it is also a good story in Lot Kingdom.
Sure enough, a happy married life is the biggest weapon for men to gain weight...
"Your Majesty." Hawkins on the side couldn't help but interjected and asked, "You and Lord Nuo Xia... have known each other for a long time?"
"Yeah yeah!"
After finally meeting Noxia again, Galio had not yet recovered from his excitement. He said with a smile, "That was all eight or nine years ago! It was the first time that I went to the Holy Land to participate in the world event on behalf of my father.
The meeting was escorted by Nuo Xia himself."
At that time, I was serving as a major general in Xihai, eight or nine years ago? Isn’t it already so far away...
"It's been a long time indeed..."
Nuo Xia was a little emotional for a moment, but when he saw the excited Galio, his smile faded the next moment. Under Galio's nervous gaze, he looked down at him expressionlessly and said:
"Then, Your Majesty Galio, should you explain to me that the Kingdom of Lot is thousands of kilometers away from here. As the leader of a country, why did you appear here inexplicably?"
"Well……"
Galio glanced at Nosha guiltily and was speechless. He secretly cast a look at Hawkins for help, but the latter just shrugged slightly and gave him a look that said you were asking for blessings.
…
A few minutes later.
"...Things, that's just the way it is."
Under the umbrella on the deck, Galio grimaced and hesitated.
Nuo Xia, who was sitting opposite, looked at him speechlessly.
The story is nothing special, it's probably a story of a young king's secret escape that's common in folklore.
Galio has a restless temper and always stays in the capital. He often wanders around the country when he has nothing to do. He also likes to visit privately incognito without accompanying his bodyguards.
A group of ministers who could never find anyone were frightened all year round, worried about his safety, and remonstrated several times. Coupled with the persuasion of the princess, Galio reluctantly calmed down for a while.
The result was a while ago.
After hearing the shocking act of Nosha appearing at the tea party and single-handedly destroying the entire world, Galio was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night long.
I also heard rumors that the next target was most likely Kaido, another Sea Emperor, so my curiosity immediately arose, and I couldn't help but sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night, and took a boat straight to Wano Country, hoping to be there at the scene.
Witness history with your own eyes.
The old and upright old guard captain in the palace knew that he would not be able to agree to such a ridiculous request without asking, and it was not possible to go far away without anyone to escort him.
So Galio simply found a group of caravan guards with a good reputation in Lot Kingdom, namely Hawkins and his group, and temporarily appointed him as the captain of the royal guard to escort him on this journey.
It also bears the banner of the Beasts Pirates to deter pirates along the way and avoid unnecessary trouble.
I have to say, this journey has actually been quite smooth.
I just didn't expect that I didn't meet the determined pirates, but when I was about to arrive at Wano Country, I was even more unlucky to run into a terrifying ocean storm.
"idiot."
Nuo Xia couldn't help but slap the table, pretending to be angry and yelled, "I really want to open your brain to see what you are thinking!"
"The base camp of the Beast Pirates is such a dangerous place. The other pirates know that there is going to be a war there and want to hide as far away as possible. But you are thousands of kilometers away and want to rush there to join in the fun!
Don’t you know how to write the word death?”
"I...I know Kaido is dangerous."
Galio was startled by his ferocious look, lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "But, you will be there too, right? As long as there is a fight, the entire Beast Pirates will be eliminated by you soon."
If you drop it, you should...not notice me?"
"..." Nuo Xia held her forehead and sighed, "Are you so confident in me?"
Galio nodded vigorously.
Nuo Xia really didn't know what to do for a moment, and then turned to look at Hawkins, who had been standing quietly beside him.
A group of pirates who should have been entrenched in the North Sea for many years and entered the new world as a supernova ten years later have become famous caravan guards in this timeline and were even captured by the king of a country.
Trust values and embarked on a completely different path.
This is probably another manifestation of the widespread influence of the butterfly effect. The half year he spent traveling around the North Sea was not in vain after all.
When Hawkins saw him looking at him, he smiled wryly and spread his hands:
"Sir, I also persuaded Your Majesty before departure, but he insisted on going, and there was nothing I could do. Moreover, His Majesty and I have the same view. We also believe that the Beast Pirates are not your opponent at all. If the situation is not right,
I should also be able to protect His Majesty's retreat as soon as possible."
"Winning or losing has nothing to do with your safety."
Nosha shook his head slightly, "Kaido is indeed not my opponent, but the Beast Pirates, after all, has a scale of tens of thousands. With the lessons learned from the tea party, they must be gathering troops now, shrinking their defenses, and preparing for the attack."
"Anything going on next to Onigashima cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears, and Kaido doesn't need to take action. As long as it is discovered by his cadres, you will die on the spot."
He looked at Hawkins, who was getting more and more embarrassed, and said calmly, "Or are you confident that you can take the whole ship and run away from any of them? Pandemic Quinn? Or Drought Race?
Na?"
Plague Quinn, Drought Senna... These are all monsters with great reputations in the new world. Hawkins looked horrified: "I took it for granted, Lord Nosha..."
"Just understand."
Nuo Xia nodded slightly.
This was ten years ago in the comic timeline. Hawkins's strength was far from enough in his eyes. The Three Disasters were not Huang ir. In addition to kicking his own personality, he was so ridiculously capable that you would never let him go.
He escaped from death in his hands.
"Go back, Your Majesty Galio."
He stood up and left the table, and finally glanced at the anxious Galio, "It doesn't matter if you can't help but wander around in the country, but the sea outside called the New World is still too dangerous for you now."
"You are the king of a country, and you have to think about the country and the people. Those ministers must have explained it many times. You are probably tired of hearing it, so I won't say more."
"I just hope that before you are in danger, you will think more about your family, especially... your wife who loves you deeply."
"Yeah..."
Galio nodded dejectedly, but Nuo Xia saw his duplicity, turned around, looked at the distant sky, and said lightly, "Just bear with it for a while longer, and you can sail and travel freely in the new world... Then
One day will come eventually, and it won’t be very far.”
"If you can't hold it for even this little time, that's up to you. Anyway, after you die, I will take Shia and happily go to the Kingdom of Lot for a banquet."
The voice fell.
Zizzi! Thunder suddenly exploded, and his figure turned into a blue stream of light, rushed into the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"What a terrifying speed, worthy of Lord Nuo Xia..."
Hawkins watched the streamer go away. After sighing, he turned to look at Galio, who was stunned in place, and said hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we follow up secretly, or turn around..."
"Turn around! Go back!"
Galio woke up with a jolt, his face was full of fear, he slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said: "I must go back immediately! Before the new world is safe, I will never sneak out of the country again, and let Shia cry for me.
...This kind of thing, this kind of thing..."
"No matter what, it must not happen!!!"
ha?
Hawkins was a little confused. He looked at the surrounding royal guards and found that they were also confused.
Your Majesty has obviously always turned a deaf ear to your advice and is used to doing things his own way. Why did he change his attitude so quickly this time?
………………
Two days later.
The land of peace, the capital of flowers.
A dilapidated town, in a teahouse beside a mountain road.
"Sir, please, please let us go this time!!"
"We promise that we will never dare to come here again! We will never dare to rob here again!!!"
Nuo Xia was sitting under the tent, drinking tea calmly, while a few meters away on the mountain road, a dozen bandits were crying, kneeling and kowtowing desperately, begging for their lives.
They didn't dare to stop when they didn't get any response, and soon their foreheads were red and swollen from the blows, with blurred blood stains.
"Samurai-sama."
The teahouse proprietress who was carrying a pot of water next to her could not bear it and begged softly, "They are not guilty enough to die. Otherwise, you should give them a chance and let them go."
Hearing this, the group of bandits immediately raised their heads in surprise and looked at Nuo Xia eagerly.
"Miss Ahe, are you sure?"
Nuo Xia sighed and looked back at the proprietress in front of him, "Don't forget, just now, they chopped down several tea tables and threatened you to hand over all your money."
The landlady's name is Ahe, and she is dressed in a traditional kimono. Although she is nearly forty years old and has a weathered face, she can still tell that she must have been a gentle and beautiful woman like Yamato Nadeshiko in her youth.
"I know."
Ah He sighed quietly, "But these children are not bandits in the first place. They are all poor people from nearby towns. The world is difficult. They were forced by the Heitan family to make it impossible for them to survive, so they were forced to become bandits."
"It is true that they occasionally come down to the mountains to rob, but most of them still make a living by hunting in the mountains. When they come to ask for money, they also know how to behave. I have never heard of them killing anyone."
Ah He smiled bitterly, "If there was no other way, they would definitely not want to end up like this, so... please be kind and give them a chance to survive."
Then, she took out two money bags from her arms, pushed one in front of Nuo Xia, www. and walked to the bandit with the other, and gave it to the leader of the bandit.
The leading bandit was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his face was red and he was ashamed.
This scene was caught by Nuo Xia's eyes. He glanced at these sallow-looking bandits, then looked toward the bustling Flower Capital in the distance, and sighed softly.
What a sin, Oden.
Before he traveled through time, the comic plot had not yet advanced to Wano Country, so he did not know much about this samurai country that had been closed off for hundreds of years. Many things were learned from some confidential documents of the headquarters when he later became a high-ranking member of the Navy.
He couldn't understand Oden's brain circuit, and he couldn't appreciate what he did. As a daimyo, Kozuki Oden was to blame for the state of Wano becoming what it is today.
