Chapter 205: A Little Story After the Rain
In his office, Kuro looked at the newspaper that Crow had found, it was a newspaper from the previous days, exactly one day after Ace announced the time of execution.
Amid the overwhelming news about Ace and Whitebeard's movements in the 'Fire Fist', Kuro found a piece of news in the corner of the newspaper.
The news is to the effect that a large fleet of pirates has raided the town of Tada, but is exterminated by this man named Gugas.
There was a very small picture on the news of a man dressed in a black clergyman's uniform with a shawl and a round-rimmed glasses, who was holding a book in his left hand and a huge axe in his right hand that did not fit his body at all, and was holding it on his shoulder.
"He's Gugas?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, "There are so many great voyage masters... But I haven't heard of it. ”
"You didn't live on the Great Voyage before, and of course you hadn't heard of it."
Lida said: "This person is very famous, he has been stationed in Tada Town since he was a teenager, and it has been almost twenty years now, because of his existence, no pirates dare to attack, and the pirate fleet that was exterminated this time is definitely not mixed in the Great Voyage." ”
Chloe nodded and said:
"The exterminated pirate fleet is the 'Tulip Tiger' Box, with a bounty of 88 million, plus some bounty pirates under his command, the total bounty reaches 150 million. If he had gone to another town, he might have had an extra supernova when he arrived in Chambord, but he wasn't lucky. ”
"And this Gugas, I only paid attention to it recently, and I paid attention to this kingdom by the way..."
This has to start when Chloe wants to catch a pirate on the Great Voyage to get Kuro promoted, at that time he wanted to catch the famous pirates, so he studied the bounty order and the newspaper, plus he was going to do this, as Kuro's brainstorm, he had to have at least a little bit of intelligence.
After all, his superior is a salted fish, and he only wants to live in one place until he dies, and of course he won't pay attention to intelligence or anything, so he can only rely on him.
Then he sent some information about the kingdom of Tada.
"This country is located in 'Rosinia', which is no less than the size of Alabastan, but there are many countries, and there are three countries here, and the 'Kingdom of Tada' is one of them."
"The Kingdom of Tada is not big, it is the smallest of the three countries, and although it is said to be a member of the world government, it is very closed, only the port town is for people to move, and other places are not allowed to outsiders."
"And the reason why they can open a port town, I guess it is mainly to sell their local items, and their most famous item is their weapons, which are beautiful and powerful, and are said to be made of a special ore from the Tada Kingdom. Coupled with the unique physical fitness of the Tada Kingdom, the Tada Kingdom is rarely invaded. ”
Those who don't have long eyes are dead, and of course those who have long eyes won't touch them.
However, such a country can actually make the naval bases stationed in it cry for help, and the situation is not ordinarily serious...
The warship sailed in the direction of the recording pointer, the moon set and the sun rose, and it was not until the next morning that the warship reached the large island of Rocinia.
At this time, the weather was drizzling, which plunged the big island into a haze.
The island is so large that you can't see the end at a glance, you can only see the land along the coast, and the coast is surrounded by strange mountains, cutting off people from the idea of going ashore from other lands.
There is no place to stop at all.
As the warship continued to sail, Kuro saw the flat land, but on that land, he saw a strange thing.
I saw a high city wall stretching endlessly into the land, the city wall was unusually tall, the city wall was connected to the fortress and some high staircases, on which some patterns and animal heads were carved, and inside, Kulo could see the high castle complex, the kind of dense castle complex standing within the city wall, the color of the building was dark, although it was daytime, but there was still a coldness.
If you say that Mary Joya is a place, if you don't look at the Celestial Dragons, the scenery can make people feel refreshed, and that place, even from a distance, can feel a sense of mystery and loneliness.
Very typical Gothic building.
Even if it is a building, it can be called a work of art.
Kulo secretly wondered how long it would take to make such a building...
This kingdom of Tada is very interesting.
The warships drove along the dense complex, and soon they saw the end of the wall by the sea, where there was a huge gate, and at either end of the gate were two large fortresses, on which were stationed men.
On one side is what appears to be a local guard, dressed in a Pike, and on the other side is the fortress, which is the navy.
Navy...
Kuro frowned and said to the captain on the side, "What's the matter, isn't it a call for help?" ”
At this time, there are obviously navy and guards at this gate, and there seems to be no trace of battle.
"I, I don't know..."
The captain was also a little strange, the call for help yesterday was genuine.
Kuro looked at the fortress above and poked his head out because of the approach of the warship, and the navy waving the flag, and said, "Go in first and ask." ”
The warship approached the gate, and the navy above the fortress held a megaphone and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The captain on the deck also brought a megaphone and said loudly: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Kulo from the headquarters, because we heard a navy call for help in Tada Town during the cruise, let's take a look, have you been attacked by pirates?" ”
"It turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Kulo!"
The navy saluted the other side of the warship, and then said, "We haven't been attacked, and no one has sent a distress call, it's been a long time since pirates came." Yes... Anyway, you guys come in first. ”
The iron gate slowly lifted, revealing the harbor inside.
This gate isolates the possibility of ordinary people to stop, and only by opening the gate can you enter and stop.
And inside the port, there is also a door.
The warship sailed into the harbor and docked at the dock ahead.
Kuro swept the iron door in front of him, and couldn't help but speak, "It's really closed." ”
In front of the gate, there are also several front desks, where some staff members are sitting, and it seems that ordinary people will be checked before they can pass.
The navy who spoke before had already run below with a few people to meet them.
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
The navy saluted Kuro on the deck and said, "I'm a lieutenant here, welcome to Tada Town, can you tell me more about the call for help or something?" ”
The captain next to him spoke: "Yesterday we received a call for help from Tada Town, thinking it was a pirate attack, so we came over to take a look... Isn't there really anyone attacking it, there is no port, what about the town inside? ”
The lieutenant wondered, "I just changed my guard yesterday, and there are no attacks inside... Maybe you can go and see our base chief, Lieutenant Colonel Nizzi, he might know a little better. ”
"Lieutenant Colonel?" The captain looked at Kurlo.
"It's all here, so let's see... Just take a break and replenish some supplies and ammo. Kuro said.
"Yes!"
The captain commanded the navy to lower the stairs, and Kuro and the others walked down.
"The lieutenant colonel is going into town, so don't open the door quickly." The captain said to the lieutenant.
"This..."
At this time, the lieutenant said with some embarrassment: "Lieutenant colonel, there is a rule here, you have to read the content of the plaque before you go in, otherwise, I don't have the right to let you in, this is someone's internal affair." ”
"Plaque?"
A group of people looked sideways, and saw that the gate took up a small part of the city wall, and on the gate, a huge plaque took up more than half of it, and the plaque had some rules written on it.
Most of them are local laws, but there is one that makes Chloe wonder: "Female doctors are not allowed to enter?" ”
"Because the kingdom of Tada is a country of doctrine."
Lida seemed a little surprised, and said, "The people here are very strange, they follow the ancient teachings, and they seem to be particularly disgusted with witches and doctors, but the cranberry juice here is delicious." ”
"You've been here?" Chloe asked.
"Of course, wherever there's good food, there's me." Lida said triumphantly.
"Kuro, shall we go and drink cranberry juice later?"
Lida looked at Kurlo, only to see that he was looking at the plaque in a daze, and glanced at them strangely.
"What do you see?" He asked.
"The rules of the place." Lida tilted her head: "The words are so big, can't you see them?" ”
"Rules..."
Kuro looked at the plaque again, he didn't see any rules, the huge plaque was obviously a story...
