Chapter 247: The Battle Will Begin
Hill nodded slightly, and said softly, "It's been almost half a year since I came back, and I've been lobbying for the anti-church army since I met Resock. ”
"That's right."
Xia Nuo immediately understood, although what Hill said was bland, it was obvious that the anti-church army could expand to such a point in just a few months, connecting from north to south, she definitely spent a lot of effort.
Thinking of this silver-haired girl who is obviously only a teenager, in the past few years, running around and hiding her name, it is difficult not to have a complex emotion of pity and admiration intertwined in the bottom of one's heart.
"Good work." Xia Nuo was very sincere. He has always had respect for such people.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Hill's weak face was still smiling, "This is my hometown, my motherland, no matter what, I can't sit back and watch a group of pirates who once did everything evil succeed in stealing the country here." ”
This chat came to noon in a blink of an eye, and the topic of the two gradually deepened, Hill asked about Xia Nuo's recent situation, and Xia Nuo naturally responded to this one by one, and introduced her to the crew next to her, and everyone listened to it for a long time just now, and they also had a good impression of this resolute girl, and the responses were quite enthusiastic.
Before I knew it, it was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and a sumptuous lunch was served, and everyone in the Wind Pirates sat around the long table and began to eat lively.
I have to say that Ivy's cooking skills are really good, and her ability to adapt to changes is also very strong, and when the ingredients in the church are limited, she can still make such a large table of delicacies in a different way, which makes everyone marvel again and again.
Even Xia Nuo admits that he is inferior to this - although he had spent several years in the Barati Restaurant, at that time he was mainly exercising his body and practicing swordsmanship, and he didn't put much effort into cooking, so compared to the real professional, it was indeed a little behind.
The little girls who were rescued were also in the list, after a night of comfort, these children's emotions were a lot more stable, and they were also very close to Xia Nuo, and they were also very happy to eat at this time, with a long-lost smile on their little faces.
However, the quiet days are short-lived after all.
After another night, in the early hours of the next morning, news came from Resock's side that they had successfully taken the city of Puton, that the main force of the anti-church army had begun to assemble, and that a decisive battle with the Holy See was coming, and that Princess Hill would go over and meet soon.
Hill naturally won't shirk this, she chose to stay in the church in this town before, just to catch up with Xano, and at the same time have full confidence in whether Resock can capture Puton City, the domestic situation has come to this point, it's time for her as a princess to come to the forefront, as a banner, to unite all kinds of anti-church forces, to retake her own home.
However, before leaving, this girl with a heroic temperament looked at Xia Nuo and stopped, and finally just smiled and beckoned, and then rode a horse accompanied by a few entourages and disappeared at the end of the town.
Seeing Ciel leave, the Wind Pirates all returned to the church, and Kidd followed Xia Nuo, hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively, "I said, Xia Nuo, that girl is your friend, don't you really plan to help?" ”
However, Xia Nuo didn't pay attention to him, but turned his gaze to Kira, who suddenly understood, took out a thick stack of wanted notices from the backpack behind him, and handed them to Xia Nuo's hand.
"What is this?"
Kidd looked over a little strangely, and found that the wanted warrants were yellowed and old, and most of the pirates in the photos were a little old, at least middle-aged.
"This is the wanted warrant that Brother Xia asked me to find last night."
Seeing that his brother looked confused, Kira kindly explained a few words briefly beside him, "It was found according to Miss Hill's words, if there is no coincidence, the pirates in these wanted notices are the ones who are now pretending to be ghosts in the church." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Kidd suddenly understood, he knew that Kira had been in the habit of collecting bounty orders for the past few years, and it was also for this reason that he was able to recognize Xia Nuo, but he didn't expect it to come in handy again at this time.
"'Golden Right Fist' Dio, boatswain of the Flame Pirates, with a bounty of 115 million Bailey."
"'Ghost Knife Hunter' Tikala, Vice Captain of the Flame Pirates, with a bounty of 165 million Bailey."
"Flame "Mott, captain of the Flame Pirates, has a bounty of 290 million Bailey."
…………
Kidd looked at these wanted notices from the side, and after subconsciously reading them out, he couldn't help but gasp, "So many bounties over 100 million? Is this Flame Pirates so strong? ”
"If you don't have a strong strength, you won't be able to make a name for yourself on the Great Voyage and return the same way with a full harvest."
Xia Nuo, who was looking through the wanted notice, said lightly, the fact is indeed as Kidd said, this Flame Pirate Group, which was founded more than ten years ago, has a terrifying overall strength, and the cadres generally have bounties of more than tens of millions, and the first few are more than 100 million, in the first half of the great voyage, it can be called an unparalleled luxury lineup.
If it weren't for the fact that this group of guys was old and had the heart to return home, maybe they would go to the New World for a few more years, and they would be directly ordered by the world government, and it would be very likely that they would become the king of the Seven Martial Seas.
However, for the current Xia Nuo, the bounty of these pirates is high, but most of them are still not paid attention to, the only thing worth paying attention to is the captain "Flame" Mott, who has a bounty of 2.9 billion, which is one head higher than his current one.
The reason for saying this is because Hill mentioned that the reason why the Vulcan Cult has been able to achieve such great development in just a few years is inseparable from the pirate captain who is now playing the role of the Pope.
This man always claims to be the spokesman of the god of fire in the world in front of the people, and he does show a few manipulations that look like miracles, such as conjuring flames out of thin air, burning flames on his body, and walking through raging fires without being injured, etc., when these happen in front of him, it is undoubtedly quite incredible for the inhabitants of a relatively closed country like the Principality of Sambia.
Of course, Xia Nuo naturally can't believe these ghost tricks, in his opinion, the biggest possibility of this kind of performance is that this guy is a Devil Fruit ability, and it is very likely to be a natural Devil Fruit similar to the Burning Fruit, and considering that Ace is still in the Goya Kingdom and Luffy and they are still in the timeline of going to sea in at least two years, even if this guy named Mote is really a Burning Fruit ability, it doesn't seem surprising.
