Chapter 10: After the Fact

The Great Route, Magnetic Drum Island. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Just one day after Sig left, Luffy got up in the shock of Kureha, and not only that, but he also helped her deal with the second attack of Wapol.

However, Kureha is very complicated with Luffy, as he abducts her stupid son, Chopper. In this regard, she was a little happy, happy that Chopper finally had her partner, but also a little sad, sad naturally because of the separation.

After learning that Sieg, who had saved his life, took Robin to Alabastan, Luffy set off without much rest, and Kureha saw off his stupid son with cherry blossoms that bloomed all over the island, just like in the original book.

Then she returned to the castle alone on Drum Hill, sat down in a chair that was much quieter and much lonelier, and muttered:

"The D-Clan is active again, is the world going to be in turmoil again? However, I care more about you than the D-one who should exist in fate, and the people who don't exist in fate......"

……

In the ruins of Albana, Smoker, with two cigars in his mouth, was frowning at the figures busy in the ruins, there were civilians, guards, and navy he had sent over, but no matter who saw the tragedy in the ruins, they all became silent and sad, like a light rain in the sky.

At this moment, a female navy with glasses walked up to him with heavy steps and reported:

"Colonel Smoker, I didn't get to see the king here, nor did I see the two sea pirates......

Seeing her depressed appearance, Smoker didn't say much, after all, for a girl who had been in an ivory tower, the scene she saw today was inevitably a little too heavy.

"They are obviously pirates, why should the people of this country shield them?"

Smoker glanced at her, then turned his gaze back to the ruins, and said calmly:

"Look at the ruins, if you save them from the people who can turn this city into ruins, you'll get this kind of protection."

Seeing that she was still very low, Smoker asked:

"Sergeant Dusty, what do you say from headquarters?"

Hearing Smoker's question, the glasses female navy, that is, Dusty's conditioned reflex, replied:

"Ha, the headquarters said that since Blackbeard didn't do any real harm to the country, there was no reward for him."

Smoker narrowed his glasses:

"They call it harmless? Did those guys eat X in their heads? Taking a breath to calm the anger in his heart, Smoker asked again:

"What else did the guy you contacted, he couldn't have said nothing."

Dusty said with some hesitation:

"He said that the reason why the Ministry ignored the destruction of Alabastan was because of pressure from above, but I don't think it can be trusted."

"Oh? Tell us what you think. ā€

"Alabastan is a member of the world, it is impossible for the world ZF to put pressure on the navy and ignore their destruction, I think there must be something hidden in this, and those two sea thieves must know, maybe the king of this country has been held hostage by them, Colonel Smoker, we must rescue the king and make the truth public!"

Listening to her increasingly unreliable speculation, Smoker didn't say anything, shook his head, and turned to leave. He understood why Dusty said this, after all, in her heart, the Navy Headquarters represented justice, and since the righteous side said that the destruction was not caused by Blackbeard, it must be right, then the lying party must be the people of Alabastan, and they must lie because they did not know the truth and were deceived by those two pirates.

"It's true that there is a hidden secret, but it's not here, it's the world ZF and the headquarters, I don't know what kind of deal was made this time......" But he didn't say this sentence to her, after all, there are always things that must be experienced to understand.

……

Among the few intact houses in Albana, Sig and Ace sat directly across from each other.

Ace said to Sieg appreciatively:

"That's right, I can actually make a draw with me who has used half of my strength."

Sieg clenched his fists, replied to the ancient rites of his previous life, and said:

"Concession, concession, I also saw that your injuries were okay, so I used three points of force."

"What? If we have the ability, let's compare again, and this time I won't keep my hands! ā€

"Wow, but you have to be careful, it's not good to tear the wound if you push too hard."

Ace was anxious when he heard this, and said angrily:

"You dare to look down on me? Uncle, oh no, Auntie, a few more suckling pigs, I'm going to see which of the two of us eats faster! ā€

…… Well, the two are sitting at a table facing each other, competing to see who eats faster, Sieg was not originally a big stomach player, but since he had the physical fitness of the sea king, in order to maintain the consumption of the body, the consumption of food has also increased. Of course, what he said that he only used three points was just bragging, in fact, he was completely full in the competition just now.

Kobra on the side watched the dispute between the two, as if he had temporarily forgotten the pain of the destruction of his home, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't want to help in the ruins, it's just that he doesn't want to see the Navy at this time. On the one hand, it was because they didn't want them to disturb Sieg and Ace; On the other hand, he already knew that Blackbeard had not been rewarded at all, and it was really unappetizing to see the Navy again at this time.

Seeing that the two had finished playing again and couldn't walk, Kobra walked up to the two, bowed deeply, and said:

"Thank you for saving me and saving this country, I really don't know what this country would have become without you."

Ace waved his hand, wanted to say something but hiccuped first, Sieg on the side slapped the table and laughed wildly, rolled his eyes at Sieg, Ace, who had eaten too much and didn't want to move, decided that there were a lot of adults, ignored him, turned his head to Kobra and said:

"No...... Belch! Thank me, my purpose is not to help you, I am just to track down Blackbeard, thank him if you want to thank him, if it weren't for him, I might have lost in Blackbeard's hands. ā€

Seeing that Ace brought the topic to himself, Sieg said to Kobra with some embarrassment:

"Thank you, I don't have to, not to mention that the main reason for this incident is the cultivation method I gave you, and it was also because of my contract that made you misjudge." Scratching his face, Sieg said in a somewhat depressed voice:

"Moreover, Weiwei was also lost in my hands, and she hasn't made my coordinates until now, so she still doesn't want to see me."
