Chapter 221 What are you talking about, pirates rob us?
Night falls.
In a certain sea area dozens of nautical miles away from Tianlan King's capital, there is an inconspicuous steam turbine ship moored. This is a medium-sized cruise ship attached to a small trading house of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce. It is undergoing a normal operation.
Voyage.
At this moment, the lights on the ship were brightly lit, the banquet hall was filled with all kinds of exquisite food and wine, and there was a lot of joy and laughter.
After Raymond and his team sneaked out of the royal capital in a lifeboat, they boarded the rescue ship that had been prepared for a long time. Yoselin and some of the surviving old subordinates of the Golden Teeth Pirates had been waiting for a long time.
This was a welcome banquet to celebrate Anna's escape from trouble, and everyone was smiling.
Aldrich naturally knew Anna. When he saw his disciple going to the palace and making such a big fuss, killing the king, and rescuing such a red-haired beauty, the coquettish old man suddenly felt that he had guessed something, and looked at
There was always an indescribable ambiguity between the two of Raymond. The old man was worried that something would happen to Raymond before, but after seeing his disciple come back safely, he was also excited to drink.
This is the night of victory, the night of reunion with old friends.
Aldrich, Boggs, Judy, Lulu, Colin, Matthew, Ilya...and "Golden Teeth Pirates'" Gulev, Yoselin...a large table of people was happy
Eating and drinking.
Oh, and there is also a monkey who likes drinking. Jiji is holding a big piece of baked shiny meat in one paw, eating it with a shiny face, and holding a wooden wine cup as big as his head in one paw, drinking
Slightly tipsy... causing everyone to laugh.
The whole banquet was carried out in an atmosphere of joy and fun.
...
The business focus of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce has all shifted towards the areas infiltrated by the revolutionary army. Now Thunderbird's president Gunter Baylor and a group of clan elders have gone there first. Matthew and Ilya, two brothers and sisters, plan to stay near the royal capital and secretly
Maintain the operation of the Chamber of Commerce and take care of Raymond and others.
Full of wine and food,
Hiccup~
Aldrich's eyes were filled with drunkenness and he burped. He was also very curious about his disciple's next plan, so he asked: "Raymon, now that you have rescued Anna, what are you going to do next?"
Almost everyone here has focused their attention.
This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about.
Raymond said with a smile: "I plan to go to the Endless Sea, but now our voyage ship will probably be built in a month or two... During this period, I also have some personal things to do."
Aldrich naturally guessed that he was talking about killing Meyer Clive for revenge. Now everyone knows the reason why he lost his left eye, and also knows why Philip led the war two years ago.
Beginning and end.
"oh"
This answer was also expected, "What about the Clive family?"
Raymond nodded: "Yes."
Aldrich pondered for a moment, with some worry in his eyes, and then said: "According to you, Meyer is the original 'Sour Fruit' ability user, so his strength should not be underestimated. Archduke Philip did nothing to him two years ago
No, I think he might be even more powerful now..."
After a pause, he continued: "What's more, Meyer Clive's identity is still the captain of the World Headquarters CP9. After this battle in the palace, he will definitely take more precautions..."
Of course, Raymond knew the power of the natural devil fruit. He smiled and said: "Meyer must be killed. Unless he dies, the Black Sea will not be able to live in peace... As for the World Headquarters Navy and so on, it's hard to say now. But there’s no need to worry about it for another two months.”
Aldrich: "Oh?"
Raymond did not beat around the bush and said directly: "In about two months, the Hou Revolutionary Army will launch a full-scale uprising across the Black Sea. At that time, they will launch a general attack on Tianlan King's capital, and at the same time, they will completely destroy the layout of the World Headquarters. The power of the Black Sea..."
"That's it..."
People like Aldrich and Matthew have now come into contact with the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army, and naturally they also know some inside information.
They were just a little surprised that Raymond actually knew the specific time when the Revolutionary Army launched its general offensive. It seemed that the relationship between him and "General Staff" Chapman was more subtle than expected.
With the help of the Revolutionary Army, the World Government really does not need to worry too much.
At this time, Raymond pointed to Lulu and Colin beside him, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said: "Besides, even if I can't beat them, I still have my friends."
Although everyone does not know the strength of Lulu and Colin, they may be recognized by Raymond and Gulev, and they must be the top beings in the Black Sea.
Having said this, everyone felt relieved.
But when the "Endless Sea" was mentioned, the warm banquet atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably sad.
Getting together just now seems to mean a more distant parting.
Gulev glanced at Anna and said seriously: "Little princess...are you going to the Endless Sea too?"
"Um."
Anna nodded, pointed to Raymond beside her, and said: "I promised Raymond to be his navigator and go to the end of the world together... Besides, my original dream was to become a great navigator. ah."
Anna has no intention of rebuilding the Campbell dynasty, nor does she intend to become queen. This has been clear to everyone for a long time.
Hearing her plan to prepare a voyage, Gulev, Yoselin and other former dynasty officials stood up and said without hesitation: "We will always follow the little princess!"
"No..."
Anna shook her head, glanced at the group of middle-aged ministers, and sighed slowly, "The Campbell dynasty is over, and the Salo regime is about to fall... I have fulfilled my wish for revenge, We have also completed our mission... You have never owed me, the Campbell family, but our family owes you a lot."
Her tone was full of gratitude. As she spoke, she stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, "Thank you for all your hard work over the years."
"Little princess!"
Even a rough man like Gulev was a little at a loss for the moment.
"No...Uncle Gulev, Aunt Yoselin, and everyone...whether it's my father or me, everyone has done their best...our mission is over."
Anna shook her head, tears suddenly welled up in her crystal eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Her eyes sparkled with joy, and more importantly, she looked forward to the future with happiness. She said: "At this moment, I can finally pursue my ideal... This is my only ideal now, my best dream." , I want to complete it myself and see the scenery at the end of the world that my ancestors dreamed of..."
As she said that, she glanced at Raymond and added: "With my captain and my friends."
When Gulev and others heard this, they were silent for a long time.
Going to the Endless Sea not only requires strong strength, but also means saying goodbye to your homeland, and there is little possibility of returning.
Everyone knows that this farewell may be an eternal farewell.
That route has unparalleled magic for adventurers, but it is also extremely dangerous.
For countless years, many talented men and adventurers with dreams in the Black Sea went to the Endless Passage and never returned... There were only a handful of big shots like Soderos who had made a name for themselves, and more
He died in a foreign land... maybe he died in a shipwreck, maybe he encountered powerful pirates, sea kings, diseases...
The Endless Sea, for the people who have lived in this remote Black Sea for generations, the Endless Sea is both a hope and a nightmare.
The emotions of sadness and separation are spreading,
At this moment,
Anna's eyes were red, and she said: "Uncle Gulev, thank you for always taking care of me. But this time, I hope you can stay in the Black Sea... The situation is now turbulent, and both the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce and Aldrich teachers are in need
Protected by the strong... This is our foundation... Only if we are safe here, can we set sail without any worries, sail the sea, and pursue the end of our dreams..."
"Little princess..."
All the ministers had already burst into tears.
In fact, Gulev knew well in his heart that the little princess's friends were all very strong. Except for the captain Raymond, who was a genius, the ship's doctor and the mechanic were all hidden masters. Even the monkey Jiji had great potential in the future.
When he grows up, he will be far stronger than himself.
Although he is now the top powerhouse in the Black Sea, after all, he has already reached that age, and the possibility of making another breakthrough is not high. It will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Endless Sea.
The little princess no longer has to worry and protect herself when she has powerful partners like Raymond who are willing to sacrifice their lives to save her.
When the young eagles grow up and want to soar into the sky, veterans like me should also let go and let them fly higher into the sky.
In fact, they also know that the little princess has not been happy in the past ten years. All the burdens are on her weak shoulders. Now that she is "free" and has gained real freedom, she should also
to pursue her ideals and become a great navigator like her ancestors.
"Okay, everyone, don't be so sad."
Anna wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes, tried hard to look happy, and said with a smile: "You should pay more attention to the newspapers in the future, our news will appear in the newspapers... We will definitely be in the Endless Sea
Make a name for yourself!"
"Well! Little princess, I wish you smooth sailing on your voyage in advance..."
Gulev and the others nodded melancholy and raised their glasses to drink.
...
The festive banquet became very sad, and the welcoming banquet suddenly turned into a farewell banquet before a voyage.
But before the sad atmosphere filled the air, it was suddenly diluted by a series of rapid footsteps.
"Oops! Enemy attack!"
At this time, the servant ran into the banquet hall in panic and shouted: "President Matthew... Oh no, there are pirates robbing us! It's the 'Hyena Pirate Group'!"
As soon as these words came out, the sad emotions in everyone's eyes disappeared, and the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall instantly became very strange.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and no one in the room spoke anymore.
This weird atmosphere lasted for two or three breaths,
At this moment,
"What?"
Matthew picked his ears to make sure he heard correctly. He asked with a look of disbelief on his face, "You said... there are pirates planning to rob our merchant ship?"
"Yes, Mr. President!"
The servant had no idea who was sitting in the room. Seeing that no one was speaking, he thought everyone was frightened and asked anxiously: "President, what should we do now?"
Matthew looked at the big guys in the room and his fat face twitched.
The biggest pirate in the Black Sea, "Golden Tooth" Gulev, is here, but there are still blind pirates coming to rob him? What's more... there are also top bosses on the wanted list like Raymond?
He looked at Raymond, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Brother Raymond, what do you think?"
Raymond turned his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Then...let them come in."
Hearing this, Matthew's little eyes flashed with a smirk, and he immediately understood.
He ordered the servants: "Inform the guards not to resist and let the pirates in."
"ah?"
Hearing this, the servant thought that he had heard wrongly, and his face was full of astonishment.
He had no idea what kind of terrifying existence the protagonists of this banquet were, nor did he know why his president would be so respectful to a stranger. Although this "decision" seemed a bit unbelievable to him, he could only
He took the order and left, "Yes, Mr. President."
He thought that the president probably planned to negotiate with the pirates and spend money to settle.
Hey... I hope those greedy pirates won't open their mouths.
