Chapter 70: A Mysterious Letter
Two days away from Dressrosa, a messenger bird dropped something at the ghost-faced ship.
Thor reached out to catch it, and opened it with doubt.
It's a map, and the red line shows that it leads to a place called Misty Island.
Thor frowned, flipped the map over, and saw a line of words.
This line of words made his face change abruptly.
Saul found Yu Kui with a solemn face, "You are the only one who will go to Dressrosa this time, I have important things to deal with." β
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
Yukui put down the dice in his hand, and from Thor Sol's expression, he could see that something was unusual.
Thor shook his head and explained, "You should be careful when you go to Dressrosa, and don't fight Doflamingo unless you have to. β
Yukui watched suspiciously as Thor took Ain onto a small boat.
Thor sat in the bow of the boat, and Al Yin sat in the cabin, and without the need for rowing, the boat headed off into the distance.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the other side of the sea, a small boat with a green candle lit in a cupboard. The shape is peculiar, like a coffin floating on the water.
There was only one seat on the boat, and a man wearing a cowboy hat style sat it.
The most striking thing is that he carries a long black knife on his back, and he sits straight, but the black knife is still a head above him.
A pink-haired woman with a small umbrella sat at the stern of the boat, trying to put her feet in the water, seemingly hesitant.
"I'm not going down to get you."
It was as if the man who was pretending to sleep suddenly spoke.
The woman pouted and glared at the back of his head.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Another iceberg canyon stood on the sea, and a pirate ship with a crocodile bow slowly drove back into the canyon.
On the deck stood a domineering man, with a large back combed, a scar on the bridge of his nose that stretched across his face, and a half-burned cigar hanging from his mouth.
He took a puff of smoke and looked down at a map in his hand.
Behind him stood a man dressed as a warrior monk, taciturn.
"Interesting ......"
A smile tugged at the corner of the domineering man's mouth, and he said loudly, "The course turns to Misty Island!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Great Route Misty Island is actually a thriving island that still retains the architecture of the Edo period.
This island in its own right, most famous for its singing girls, is frequented by many big names.
At the same time, it is also a famous gold cave, a city that never sleeps.
There are few people during the day, but at night, it is like a temple fair, and it is very lively.
Lights are everywhere, and there are Kong Ming lanterns flying in the air.
On a cliff at the edge of the city stood a woman dressed as a singer, standing under a tree, looking at the brightly lit city with a smile.
"Miss, let's go. The lord will be here in a moment. β
An old servant appeared behind her, holding an umbrella even though it was night.
The white oil-paper umbrella was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
The woman turned and nodded expressionlessly.
The old servant stepped forward and appeared in the moonlight, an old man with loose skin.
The woman walked under the umbrella, and the old servant held the umbrella for her.
On the way down the mountain, she looked up at the moon like a jade plate and smiled.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Thor on the boat, his eyes snapped open, gasping for air.
Ai Yin next to her was stunned, this was the first time she had seen the human side of this demon.
Evil spirits also have nightmares?
You've done too much, right?
Thor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, casually took off his half-wet trench coat and threw it on the table, and walked out of the cabin with a wine jug.
The moon at night is extraordinarily round, as it was thirteen years ago......
The door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and the sleeping little boy woke up, and after seeing that it was the second sister he was familiar with, he put his mind at ease, rubbed his eyes, and complained, "What are you doing, second sister, it's a big night, I'm still sleeping......"
"Stupid, still sleeping, sleeping when you're dying, get up!"
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl rushed in and grabbed the little boy on the bed.
"Second sister, second sister...... Clothes, I'm not wearing clothes!! β
The little boy exclaimed.
Although the lights were not turned on, but by the moonlight, it could be seen that the girl's face was red, and then let go of the little boy, grabbed the clothes next to the bed and threw them to him, and whispered, "Get dressed, and then leave through the dark passage and go to the seaside dock to find the navy stationed!" β
The little boy hugged his clothes and wondered, "What the hell is going on?" Why go to the Navy? β
The girl grabbed the clothes, and while helping the little boy to put them on, she hurriedly said, "My father is critically ill, and my eldest brother has staged a coup d'Γ©tat, announcing to the public that my father has passed the throne to him. Now that he is purging dissidents in the city, the old ministers who are very optimistic about you on weekdays are probably already poisoned. If you don't leave, it's too late......"
"Moreover, my father is just sick, how can he suddenly inherit the throne? Everyone knows that your father likes you the most............ Let's go! β
The girl was in a cold sweat, but the little boy stood on the bed in a daze, letting the girl help her get dressed, like a fool.
"Impossible...... Father is just a little cold, and it will be fine soon. Eldest brother...... My eldest brother is very good to me on weekdays, and he never scolds me...... I told him that I would not fight with him for the throne. He knows, he won't do this, second sister, is there something wrong? β
The little boy frowned, tears rolling in his eyes.
He is very smart, he has been very smart since he was a child, and he inherited his mother's appearance and he is his father's favorite.
He is also very sensible, so he never argues about many things.
For the sake of family harmony.
It was because he was clever that when the girl told him about his situation, he already understood, but he didn't want to believe it.
How could the most gentle and considerate big brother do this to him? How could you kill him?
The movement of the girl's hand stopped, she raised her head, revealing a face that had begun to bring disaster to the country and the people, this face that was always smiling on weekdays, and her expression was indifferent at this time, "My silly brother, what kind of family do you think you were born in?" From the moment you were born, you were doomed to be impossible to get along with your big brother. This is the Emperor's family, you idiot. Do you think Big Brother really cares about you that much? β
Her voice was even more indifferent, "How much he cares about you on weekdays, how much he wants to kill you in his heart." β
The last sentence, like a sledgehammer, smashed the last bit of fantasy in the little boy's heart.
At this moment, this sensible little boy finally couldn't control the tears in his eyes.
"The eldest brother has been preparing for a long time, and for the sake of this throne, he did not hesitate to collude with the pirates and cut off the country's foreign aid. I didn't hesitate to kill my father early, and even me, he was ready to send me to some sea pirate for an alliance...... You say, is there any reason for him to let you go? β
The girl wiped away a handful of tears and ran out of the room with the little boy who was crying silently.
Run to a warehouse, and in the corner of the warehouse, pull open a large chest, revealing a large hole covered in cobwebs.
The girl pushed the little boy and said, "Run, if one day we are all alive, come and take back this country!" β
The little boy stumbled and fell to the ground, looking back at the tearful girl.
"Run, don't look back! Fast!! β
The girl growled.
"Oh~ my dear sister, are you and your brother here?"
Suddenly there was a sound outside the door, accompanied by a large number of footsteps.
The little boy turned abruptly and ran into the darkness, covering his mouth with his hands to keep himself from crying.
In the dark passage where he couldn't see his fingers, the little boy didn't know how long he had been running, and how many times he had fallen.
Eventually, he rushed headlong into a wood.
It was the forest behind the palace, and it was the place where the eldest brother liked to take him to hunt hares.
A thumb-thick bolt of lightning flew and pierced the little boy's calf, and he fell to the ground screaming, then rolled and wailed with his injured calf.
"I'm sorry, brother, the ability I just gained is not easy to control."
A man approached, he had inherited the appearance of a king, with shoulder-length blond wavy hair and bright eyes with golden pupils.
He is like a noble son, no, he is the king of this country.
He exudes the characteristic temperament of a king.
He stopped behind the little boy, reached out and lifted him up by the back of the little boy's neck, looked at his hideous face because of the pain, and smiled, "It's so late, where are you going?" You have forgotten that there are not only hares but also wolves in this forest. β
The little boy with a pale face gritted his teeth and opened one eye.
"Big ...... Eldest brother...... For...... Why? β
The blonde man wore a crown on his head, which only a king could wear, and now that he stood in the moonlight, the little boy saw the golden crown.
"Silly brother, you have been very smart since you were a child, then, please tell me. Why is it that as the eldest son, I am so good and so outstanding, but my father doesn't like it, and wants to pass on the throne to you? Why? β
The blonde man smiled and wiped the little boy's tears: "Why?" I have long learned the imperial technique, I have already set the goal of the Northern Expedition in ten years, and even, I have long been ready to welcome the throne? But why? Why should the father be partial? Why do you have more smiles than I do? Why be more lenient with you? Why do you pay a big price to trade with the World Government for the willingness of this Devil Fruit to be your bar mig? Why did he choose you instead of me? β
The blonde man's face turned hideous, and he grabbed the little boy's right hand and crackled with electric light, which then spread to the little boy.
"Ah~~~~~h
The little boy screamed in pain, he was wrapped in electric light, and his whole body trembled.
"Sorry, but I didn't control it."
The electric light disappeared, and the blonde man's apologetic voice came, but there was pleasure in his eyes.
The little boy's eyes rolled and white smoke came out.
"So, don't ask me why? Why do I have more than you, you know? β
The blond man smiled, then casually threw the little boy who was already unknown to him to the ground, took one last look at him, and said, "Silly brother, if you can survive, just hide in the corner of the world and watch how I unify this world, just watch on the map how the territory of this country has grown little by little." Bye...... No...... Never again, my silly brother. Try to crawl out like maggots to survive......"
The blonde man leaves.
In the darkness, the dangers that had been hidden for a long time were finally revealed.
A pair of green eyes walked towards the little boy......
On the boat, Thor sat in the bow and took a sip of wine.
The cool sea breeze blew and puffed up his clothes wet with cold sweat.
He stared at the sea in a daze, and the map in his left hand was swept up by the sea breeze, revealing a line of words on the back.
A beautiful line of handwriting.
Little brother, I'm waiting for you in Misty Island......
Thor looked up at the oncoming warship.
Ain stared nervously at the warship parked twenty meters away.
Their small boat could not withstand two shells.
And that second-class warship, one round of artillery bombardment can fire 12 shells!
She and Thor are both capable people, once they have no place in the sea......
She shook her teeth, ready to strike first, as long as she could attack the warship......
A man appeared on the bow of the warship, a man who made Al Yin weak and despaired.
The white-haired Sengoku looked at the boat condescendingly.
Compared to the pale-faced Ain, Thor just stood up and looked up at Sengoku.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and it was Thor who was the first to break the strange atmosphere.
"Old man, are you going to stop me? You should know that if you are on land, I am afraid of you, but at sea ......"
Sengoku snorted coldly, pointed at Thor and scolded, "Stinky little ghost, haven't you seen your wings stiff for a few years?" Have you forgotten who gave you this confidence? β
"Uh......?"
The sudden change made Ain scratch his head.
"Old man, I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you! Get out of the way! β
Thor gritted his teeth and glared at Sengoku.
"Boy, the country of Guye is now peaceful and prosperous, why do you need to break this quiet?"
Sengoku's face was solemn.
"Guotai Min'an? How many wars did he start by annexing the four surrounding countries? Don't you see the blood behind the riches? β
Thor growled.
Sengoku frowned and said, "The rise and fall of any country is beyond the influence of the navy. I have no right to ask what the king does, but as a navy, I can't watch you destroy this rare country! β
"Ruined? How do I destroy it? Is it legal for him to start a war, and it is a crime for me to start a war? Why? Is it because I'm a pirate? Don't forget, in addition to being the Seven Martial Seas, I am also the king of Kurokas, and I am also the little prince of the old king of the ancient country! β
Sengoku's face became more and more solemn, and the two looked at each other, and no one let anyone.
Finally, Sengoku closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "It's been more than ten years, aren't you doing well?" You don't care for so many years, why do you suddenly ...... now" Warring States opened his eyes and said cautiously "Boy, people will become, a woman has lived outside for ten years, and you think she is still ......"
"Enough! You shut up! β
Thor roared, his face pale.
"Whoever stops me, I will kill him! Do you really think I'm afraid of you generals? Do you really think you can stop me? β
On the surface of the sea, a phantus like a Buddha and a demon appeared.
The original compassionate face slowly changed, from the face of a bodhisattva to the face of a demon with two horns.
Warring States looked at the condensed and truthful phantom, looked at the blue-faced fangs, long hair and shawl phantom, and felt a chill in his heart.
"The Bodhisattva has become an evil ghost...... Boy, something is wrong with your state of mind! β
Ai Yin was suddenly a hundred meters above the sea, and a small boat was grabbed by the phantom of the Phantom, and this time, it was her turn to look at the Warring States condescendingly.
The gloomy face of Sengoku suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and then, a huge golden Buddha statue also appeared on the sea.
And which Buddha statue is almost exactly the same as the Warring States period.
"Boy, don't forget who taught you to fight!"
Sengoku roared, and slapped his palm towards the phantom.
"Kill!"
In the shadow, Thor's eyes were red, and a ghost hand clenched into a fist, heading towards the golden palm.
In the heavens and the earth, there was a loud thunderous sound.
The sea is full of huge waves......
