Hearing Robin's words, the old man was obviously even more painful.
He held his head and beat it twice, and sighed dejectedly: "I am just an ordinary citizen. I don't know what the former royal family did... As citizens, we fulfill our obligations and turn over the heavenly gold on time... But the royal family
There are always reports of pirates attacking the treasury... The king couldn't bear to collect heavenly gold from the people again, so he had to borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce in the name of the royal family... It seemed like this, again and again, the king
Unable to support it any longer, we had to intensify our efforts to collect heavenly gold from the people... Then there would always be pirates plundering the royal treasury, and this happened again and again..."
["How is it possible that such a thing always happens?" "There are no pirates looting the royal treasury at all, right? It's just a lie made up by the king, who wants to monopolize the gold in the sky?" "The king is lying to us. The gold in the sky is safe and sound. It's him.
After embezzling it, let us turn it over again" "The king colluded with the Chamber of Commerce to squeeze our property..."]
Things and sounds in this country two or three years ago seemed to reappear in front of the old man's eyes and ears.
"In short, everything collapsed in the end. The citizens could no longer pay the heavenly gold, and the king could not repay the money he borrowed from the Great Chamber of Commerce," the old man murmured. "The Kingdom of Igor was kicked out of the world government.
, without the protection of the navy, pirates invaded this country unscrupulously... Everyone died and ran away. But I am old and don't want to leave this land. I just hope that before I die, no more pirates...
…”
"As for pirates," Lin Qi stuffed the huge roasted beast leg into his mouth, squirming and chewing, but still had time to talk, "on the shore in that direction, there was a pirate ship just now.
We’re getting ashore.”
He pointed in a direction.
"What?" The old man woke up with a start, looked at Lynch's finger, and said in disbelief, "That direction is almost several kilometers away from the coast, how could you possibly see it?"
Robin reminded: "If he says there is, then there is. You'd better believe him."
"...Pig, it's time to go!" The old man took a deep look at Lynch and Robin, pulled the giant eagle that was fighting with Xiao Lu for meat, turned over and sat on the eagle's back, and shouted, "The giant eagle
He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the coast pointed by Lynch.
Chewing the meat bones, Rose carefully peeked at the pirate named Giorno. The female pirate next to him suddenly looked over, held up her chin, and asked: "You said that your hometown and the people in your hometown are sick.
, what disease is that?”
Rose lowered her head and chewed the brittle bones slowly, "A kind of rot..."
"Rot?" Lin Qi touched his head and wondered, "Is this a real disease?"
Rose said nothing.
"..." Robin looked at the girl who lowered her head and suddenly asked, "Did you decide to go to the Drum Kingdom because you met the doctor who was expelled abroad from the Drum Kingdom?"
As if struck by lightning, Rose looked at Robin with pale eyes, "Why...how could you..."
"You know it's impossible to learn medical skills when you go to the Drum Kingdom at this time, and there are no doctors who can teach you." Robin said slowly, "You are not going to learn medicine. You clearly know that the two of us have a bounty of hundreds of millions.
A vicious pirate, but he still took the initiative to approach us... Previously on our ship, you saw the pirate ship approaching alone, but you didn't think of hiding... You didn't think that medical skills could save you from the beginning.
Hometown, you just want to die with the idea of 'trying to save your sick hometown'."
"No! That's not right!" Rose bit her lip and said, "That's not the case..."
"I was kind of curious from the beginning," Lynch said suddenly.
Rose looked up and saw him chewing thick animal bones "crunching" in his mouth, and seemed to ask casually: "Kureha, that old miracle doctor who has lived for more than a hundred years, is a well-known witch in the Drum Kingdom.
, you stayed there for a year and a half, it’s impossible not to know about her.”
Rose swallowed her saliva and breathed rapidly. Giorno asked with a teasing smile: "How many times has she dangled in front of you? Why...just turned a blind eye to her? I asked Kuleha
, you never tried to learn medical skills from her."
Robin looked at the sky and said: "It is unfortunate that she ran around to save the country and died alone and miserably overseas. But this is the only way to be a good princess, right?"
"My country has lost hope. I can only look at everyone and see my father rotting in pain..." the girl trembled, her red eyes flashing with tears, "How can you feel this way of losing everything?"
I will understand..."
"..." Robin gave a complicated smile and said nothing.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go get supplies." Lynch patted his butt and stood up, "If you don't go, the old man will probably die..."
………………
"Wow, old man, is the pet you brought here an eagle or a pig?!"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone in the Iron Boots Pirates laughed, but in front of them, the old man was knocked aside, and his giant eagle turned into a wild boar form, charging at the pirates again and again, but he fired with muskets again and again.
The bottom became scarred, and blood flowed all over the body... The giant eagle raised its head and hissed like a pig, and the captain of the Iron Boots Pirates, "Iron Boots," raised his iron boots, laughed and kicked the pig on the head.
Blood splattered, and the pig's head fell down.
"I didn't expect that in this place where birds don't poop, there are such interesting beasts."
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates raised his head and laughed, but from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar man standing on a tree not far away.
"It's him..." The old man lying on the ground could barely get up.
"Captain, that's..." The pirates under his command also noticed, "Giobana Giorno!!!"
"How come the JOJO Pirates are here..."
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates' eyes were bloodshot and his scalp was numb, but he gritted his teeth and roared: "What are you afraid of! We are all pirates, the worst is to fight with them!!"
"captain!"
But just when his men were bursting with tears, surging with passion, and mustering up their courage, suddenly, the man he saw out of the corner of his eye disappeared.
Behind the pirates of the Iron Boots Pirates, close to the direction of their pirate ship, came the voice of Giorno: "Stop talking to the corpse, it will look very strange."
Lin Qi slowly walked onto the Iron Boots Pirate Ship, while the pirates behind him were bursting with blood all over their bodies...
Rose, who hurriedly followed up with the fruit, rushed here and saw this scene.
Dozens of pirates fell to the ground in the blood mist. Giorno and Xu Lun calmly walked onto the pirates' boats, and it was only then that Rose realized that the "supplies" Giorno had mentioned before were
It turned out to be the supplies on this pirate ship...
………………
In the center of the huge magic circle, sat a cold-faced young man wearing a black top hat and overalls.
On the right shoulder of the cold-faced boy stood a white dove.
There is a small black tie on the white pigeon's neck, and the painting style is consistent with the cold-faced young man in a black top hat and overalls.
Surrounding the magic circle were dozens of people wearing cloaks.
Everyone shook hands in front of them, bowed their heads and murmured a prayer: "Dove Evil God has mercy on us, please give us some money..."
"..." Both the cold-faced boy and the white dove on his shoulders were speechless.
