After Mott's death, the war in the Principality of Sambia ended quickly.

Without the organizers, the church became a mess in less than a day, surrendering and fleeing, and the rebels retook the capital the next evening and rescued the Grand Duke of Sambia, who was under house arrest.

The old ruler, who was nearly sixty years old, was already gray-haired and old-fashioned after several years of tossing, and when he met the Hill father and daughter, the two hugged their heads and cried, and Sir Venus, Tary, and Resock and others were also choked up on the spot.

Six years, it's been six years in the blink of an eye.

They have held out for so long, after a lot of hardships, and finally they have taken back their country from the hands of the villains!

And after everyone's emotions almost calmed down, Xia Nuo and even the entire Wind Pirates became the focus of the royal capital, and in countless admiring and grateful eyes, the Grand Duke of Sambia personally received them with the highest standard, and held a grand banquet in the palace to express his gratitude.

In fact, the people on the side of the Wind Pirates felt quite confused about this, they knew that their captain went to support the battlefield alone, but it was only two days, and in the blink of an eye, the regime of the Principality of Sambia was overturned, and then he inexplicably became a guest of honor in this country.

Single-handedly change the tide of a country's war......

Captain, this is a bit too fierce, isn't it?

For a moment, all the crew members couldn't help but have a sense of pride, especially the young boys who usually admired Xia no the most, and they puffed up their chests with pride, as if they had done it themselves.

Xia Nuo doesn't have much feeling about this, he has always adhered to the principle of following his heart, and he doesn't like that bullshit church, plus he has the habit of helping friends and old people, so he doesn't take his credit much at all, and arrogance is the stupidest mentality in his opinion.

So at the banquet, he ate and drank very happily, and was toasted by others, and in the end, when he got drunk, it was Daz who carried him back to the room to rest.

So, when he woke up the next day, looking at the mountains of money bags on the dining table, his brain suddenly went into a state of shutdown.

"You mean......" Xia Nuo rubbed his forehead, which was a little sore from the hangover, and said with some pain, "The Grand Duke of Sambia sent a full 500 million Bailey gold coins to show his gratitude?" ”

"Yes!"

There were quite a few crew members sitting around the dining table, and when they heard this, someone immediately replied excitedly: "What about 520 million Bailey, the Grand Duke of Sambia said that this is all the private property that their family has accumulated over the years!" ”

"Do you know that this is someone's belongings for so many years?"

The person who replied was Kidd, and Xia Nuo glared at the kid angrily, "I made a move because it was for Ciel's sake, not for the reward, okay, I was drunk last night and didn't know about it, so you can't refuse?" ”

"We've tried, Captain." Dramp, who was next to him, said helplessly, "But the Grand Duke of Sambia, he has to ask us to accept it, and if he doesn't accept it, he will personally send it to the ship, and His Royal Highness Hill has also persuaded him for a long time, but he really can't resist them." ”

"That's it, Captain, you don't know how resolute the other party was at that time."

"Besides, this is also a piece of people's hearts......"

There was a sudden echo at the dining table, obviously, everyone felt that with Xia Nuo's contribution this time, it was a matter of course to accept these rewards.

Although 520 million Bailey is indeed a terrifying number, and the visual impact piled up on the table is also shocking, but his own captain has saved a country, what is 500 million in comparison?

“…… Okay. ”

Hearing the descriptions of his partners, Xia Nuo knew that it would be a bit hypocritical for him to refuse any longer, so he got up and patted the money bag on the table, "In that case, then Dramp, you can help me take these to the warehouse later, these are the reserve funds on the ship, and if there is anything that needs to be used in the future, just take it from here and leave the bill record." ”

"Huh?"

Dramp was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became anxious, "How can this be, captain, these are your personal rewards, and they can't be mixed with the funds on the ship......

"It's nothing, just follow this."

Xia Nuo waved his hand, "I don't think there are many funds left on the ship now, right?" Usually you have to spend money on what you eat, wear, and use, so it's not good to have a supplement now? ”

"It's not much, there are only more than 10 million Baileys left after buying the boat last time, but ......" Dramp's face showed a hint of confusion, and he wanted to persuade something, but Xia Nuo had already changed the topic and began to tell everyone to prepare to leave.

Although Xia Nuo used decapitation tactics this time and quickly helped Ciel solve the Vulcan Church, this landing in the Principality of Sambia was an unplanned matter, and it was delayed for a full week, and it was almost time to set sail for the sea.

"Hey......"

Seeing that everyone had been taken away from the topic, it was not easy to persuade again, and when he looked at Xia Nuo again, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, this is the captain who is really open-minded and magnanimous!

He is not a rookie who has just embarked on the great voyage, as an old pirate who once served as a deputy sailor in the Erbao Navy in the Land of Flowers, Dramp has also seen many captains of pirate ships, but those people basically put satisfying their greed first, and they can catch as much as they can for the loot, not to mention that like Xia Nuo, who subsidizes the flow of funds on the ship with his own private property, he can't even distribute it fairly.

In contrast, Dramp once again realized how wise he had made when he decided to follow Xano and become a member of the Tempest Pirates.

………………

At noon, the sun was shining.

In the natural harbor of the southern harbor, the members of the Tempest Pirates, who had just had lunch, boarded the Tempest and slowly sailed away from this land that had just passed the baptism of war, thanks to the crowd led by the Grand Duke of Sambia.

In the crowd, Ciel's gaze was the most reluctant, when she was still working in Arrita's caravan as Eve, she and Xia no were just ordinary friends, not intimate and familiar at all.

But after this incident, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two has been much closer, and even because of each other's age, they still have a good feeling for each other that belongs to the opposite sex.

But......

In the vast sea, the shadow of the sail is getting farther away, the people gathered by the harbor have dispersed one after another, and the beautiful girl with silver hair, after a long stop and look at it alone, finally turned around and left here silently.

Xia Nuo has the dream of becoming the world's number one swordsman, and she needs to sail and struggle, and she must stay to help her old and frail father, clean up this mess full of holes, and strive to let the people live a happy and stable life as soon as possible......
