414 Voyage Away!Sophie, Knight Kingdom~
414
In the year 1522, the Straw Hats reunited on the fifth day of their voyage
New World ~ Starting Point Sea!
……
Even if you don't deliberately mention it, the time for the separation has come~
Luffy and they chose the direction that the violently shaking pointer pointed, while Green and they chose a stable pointer~
What Luffy wants is an unknown and unpredictable adventure, and what Green wants is a stable and sustainable investigation~
If the Dragon Kingdom wants to expand externally, it will inevitably have to compete with the major powers of the New World in all directions.
What the Dragon Country lacks most now is all kinds of information about the New World.
Now in the Dragon Country, in the four seas, the first half of the Great Passage Paradise has a certain sphere of influence, and even the extreme north of the Red Earth Continent has a secret stronghold, and secretly joined forces with the revolutionary army, and is still gradually growing.
Only the new world, which gathers most of the heritage of the Dragon Country, can still only be entrenched in less than ten large and small islands, including Delphi, Tonydon, Innocence Island, and the captured Vati, Check, Thomas, Nanbru~ and the uninhabited islands of Singreli and Hammurabi in transformation.
Green took Robin, who was still looking at Luffy with some concern, into his arms~, and said heroically~ "Okay, let's wish Luffy and them a smooth journey, although I know that the girl likes to find a place against the wind." ”
"Well, it should go well, after all, Luffy and they still want to destroy Fish-Man Island, aren't they~"
Robin remembered Xia Li's prediction of the future and chuckled~
"Then we'll sail too~"
The World that Grimm was on also left the starting sea
~Heading to an unknown island~
……
New World, Sophie is an island with a prairie climate that is very pleasant.
It is also one of the member countries of the world government, and more than half of the islands ruled by the Kingdom of Marceau are endless grasslands.
It is a country dominated by animal husbandry, and it is also a country that practices chivalry~
Here, knights enjoyed high political, economic status.
Now it belongs to the era of pirates, and the knight kingdom that cannot fight at sea is becoming more and more decaying and backward in national strength.
The current King Marceau needs to prove to the world that he is a powerful kingdom and prevent it from being annexed by countries with ulterior motives.
"Here we go again~"
The herdsmen looked at the knights coming from afar with sad faces~
With the World Conference just around the corner, the royal family of Marceau decided to select the best 100 knights from all over the country to form the Peak Knights to participate in the World Conference.
Of course, the best knight must be matched with the best mount war horse~
For a time, the pastures in the country were frequently visited by the knights from all walks of life, and the herdsmen were suffering from it, and in the past, cattle, sheep and horses were used by the herdsmen as tax tribute.
Now so many knights have come to ask for it all at once, and many low-level herdsmen can hardly afford it.
"Hey, go and bring out all the war horses of our family~"
The elderly Hank sighed and said~
Old Hank is both the patriarch of the Hank family and the owner of Hank's ranch~
"Grandpa, without the war horse, our family will not be able to train knights~"
Young little Hank couldn't help but speak. "Since my father died in battle, our Hank family is not as good as a year, if there is no new knight born, our Hank family will be swallowed up by other families sooner or later~"
In the kingdom of Marceau, the knight symbolizes the embodiment of justice and has high rights.
Become a knight, one person can prosper a family!
However, it is difficult to train a knight, and before becoming a knight, the first thing is to have a war horse that is qualified to match oneself and has a common heart.
"I know very well~ I have transferred the ownership of your war horse Tulip to you, and the rest can only pray for the protection of the Dark Dragon Knight Daxiu~"
Old Hank is helpless~
There are five war horses that have been successfully cultivated in the family, and the war horse that is highly compatible with little Hank's soul is a three-year-old war horse with a very beautiful dark golden coat, and it is not very outstanding in the performance of the five war horses in the clan.
"Hank Patriarch ~ It is rumored that Hank Ranch has a unique method of training war horses, and it is very famous in this Ala grassland, this time my brother of the Ili Knights, the Golden Knight Cheris, is just short of a suitable spare war horse, and he will compete in the assessment of the peak knights, and I hope that Hank Patriarch can sponsor one or two. ”
The leader of the Ili Knights is also a golden knight, but he is already older and does not have much room for improvement, so he has no hope of being promoted to the Grand Knight, and is more focused on the management of the Knights.
A knighthood is a vast combination of interests, representing countless subordinate families behind it.
"It is an honor for us Hank Ranch to be able to help the Knights of Ili, you wait a minute, I will let my subordinates bring the war horses over, and they will be selected by your lords~"
Patriarch Hank, who was smiling, clapped his hands and asked the subordinates who had already prepared to lead the four war horses out.
Four war horses, with different coat colors, are special, even if they stand in front of more than a dozen genuine knights, they don't show the slightest stage fright, and they are afraid of life.
You must know that the Ili Knights are not barefoot, everyone is riding a war horse that has been with them for many years, and the momentum is not comparable to these new war horses that have not yet been on the battlefield and have been tested by blood and fire.
This alone made all the knights look happy, and secretly praised Hank Ranch's war horse training technology, and with the aura of this new war horse, he could join the battle without a long time of training.
"I'm going to do it all!"
The golden knight Chrys, who had a beard and long brown hair, said eagerly when he saw that he was happy
"This~"
Even if Old Hank was ready to sponsor, he didn't expect that the appetite of this Ili Knights would be so great that they would all have to leave.
This is digging the roots of Hank's ranch.
"Five years!" "Five years!" the head of the Ili Knights smiled and spread his palms towards Old Hank, "In the name of my Ili Knights, you will be exempted from the tax tribute of Hank's ranch for five years!"
"No problem!"
Old Hank immediately smiled, this price is much more generous than the knights who came before!
Five years of tax tribute is equivalent to five war horses!
Hank's ranch and the Ili Knights happily signed a contract for the transfer of ownership of the war horse.
Naturally, a lively banquet is indispensable.
It was supposed to be a banquet for the guests, but there was an accident~
Little Hank's warhorse Tulip appears.
……
The seas of the New World are rarely calm, and storms, lightning, and thunder are the norm.
"Tulips!"
"My tulips! Damn! Why am I not a knight!"
"The supreme Dark Dragon Knight Daxiu, why, why did even my only partner have the cruelty to take it away!
The blonde boy ran on the barren Gobi Desert in Xili, which had suffered from the abnormal climate, and let out a heart-rending wail of pain.
In the storm, a huge shadow gradually emerged~
The blonde boy was unaware of it, still immersed in pain.
