The announcement Luo mentioned was issued by Xia Nuo yesterday when he first arrived on Cake Island.

The content is also very simple, mainly to appease the people, on the one hand, to show that the Storm Fleet is only an enemy of the BIGMOM Pirates, and will not attack the ordinary people on the island.

On the other hand, it was announced that in the future, as the new ruler of the Tempest Fleet, the tax collected would be forty percent of the previous period of the Ten Nations, and the people would no longer have to hand over such things as souls in exchange for the right to live on the island.

As soon as this announcement came out, the people, who were still a little panicked because of the change of rulers, suddenly calmed down a lot.

Especially in the latter one, although people are not naïve enough to be grateful to Xia no because of this unfulfilled verbal promise, they finally have some expectations in their hearts, so as not to be hostile to the crew of the Tempest Fleet.

"The atmosphere on the island is still a bit oppressive, and by the end of the month, when the residents find out that the tax has indeed been reduced a lot, it will be a different story entirely."

Luo smiled slightly, "After all, people have to have an adaptation process, although the territory of all countries is indeed Lord Xiano's now, but if we want to fully control this sea area, it will take some time, and the future is still a long way off." ”

The members of the Heart Pirates, including Xia Jin, were suddenly slightly stunned, and they all showed thoughtful expressions.

Only Bebo still kept his head down, kicking the stones with his feet as he walked, looking sullen.

"What's wrong, Bebo?"

Luo noticed its expression, raised his eyebrows, and said a little strangely: "Hey, it seems that since a few days ago, you have been so virtuous, and you didn't say anything when you asked on the boat, what is wrong?" ”

"Captain."

Bei Bo raised his head, his face aggrieved: "Do you think I am a fighter on the ship, or a pet?" ”

"That's ...... question?"

Luo was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and said hesitantly, "Although sometimes I use you as a pillow, and everyone likes to touch your head, but pets, strictly speaking, they are not ...... Why do you ask this? ”

"It's not those abominable navies yet!"

Bei Bo took out a wanted warrant from his pocket, unfolded it to his partners, and said angrily: "After the reward is re-offered this time, your bounty has increased by one or two hundred million, and Xia Jin and them have all increased a lot, why am I still like this!" ”

Luo and the rest of the people looked in the direction of its furry bear paws, only to see that below the bounty photo, there was such a large line of letters:

[White Bear Bebo, Heart Pirates pet, bounty of 550 Bailey]

“……”

There was an eerie silence in the streets.

A moment later.

"Hahaha!"

Luo glanced at Xia Jin and the others, and finally didn't hold back, and at the same time held his stomach and laughed.

"You...... You're still laughing! ”

Bei Bodu was about to cry, and said aggrievedly, "Obviously, I have participated in many battles in the past two years, but in this war, I also killed a guy with a reward of 50 million Bailey!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed louder, Xia Jin was about to laugh out of tears, he finally gasped, patted Bei Bo's shoulder and said:

"Don't be discouraged, Bebo! Wasn't your previous bounty 500 Bailey, didn't this give you another 50, enough to buy a newspaper, just be content hahahaha! ”

"That's it, Beibo, what about pets, pets also have a future!"

Another female crew member hugged Bei Bo's round belly from behind, laughing:

"Look at Xiao Luo, isn't he also Lord Xia Nuo's pet, the previous bounty was not high, after so many years, now it has been rewarded with more than 700 million Baileys, and even our captain is not worth half of it!"

"Hey, hey, don't take me with you!" Luo's forehead suddenly had black lines, and he said angrily.

What is it called less than half of Xiao Luo's, and the bounty is not a combat power unit, so what is it, 0.5 eagles?

…………

on the balcony of the castle.

Two figures were standing side by side in front of the railing, sipping wine while looking at the street in the distance under the setting sun.

"These pirates under your command have a good atmosphere."

Looking at the group of Heart Pirates who were laughing and playing, the man on the right whispered, "I haven't seen this kind of scene for a long time, it's really enviable." ”

"It's like this when you're young and have dreams, but then there are more people and after a long time, it's impossible to say whether it will change its taste."

The person on the left was none other than Xia Nuo, he smiled and looked at the figure on the right, "After leaving, do you have any plans?" ”

"Not sure yet."

The man on the right drank all the wine from the bottle and whispered, "Smuji plans to go to the East China Sea and find a quiet town to live in, so as to stay away from the outside world." ”

"And I can't do that."

The man put down the bottle and said with a wry smile, "Although most of them have died at the hands of the nuns, and some of them have also learned to run away with the crane, there are still a few younger brothers and sisters on the island, and I can't just leave them alone." ”

"After all, the eldest brother is like a father, it seems that you will be troubled in the future."

Xia Nuo also drank the rest of the wine, the wine is sake, the degree is not high, he likes this slightly drunk feeling, "When a daddy takes a group of children to the sea?" It's interesting, how it sounds a bit like BIGMOM back then. ”

"That's different, my mother basically didn't care about us at the beginning, my younger brothers and sisters were bullied, and I and Owen killed them together to find the field."

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the man's face, and he was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Xia Nuo, and said seriously:

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

Xia Nuo shrugged, "I killed BIGMOM with my own hands, and letting you go is just for the sake of your previous friendship, don't get me wrong, just come to me for revenge as soon as possible in the future." ”

"There's nothing to get revenge on."

Katakuri shook his head, his face calm, "Mom, she's just to blame, in fact, I thank you, not only because you didn't plan to continue to imprison me and my younger siblings, but also because you helped me finally free myself from the burden of the Charlotte family." ”

"Really?"

Xia no smiled, he seemed to have expected this, and did not speak, but took two more bottles of wine from the ground under his feet, one was thrown to Katakuri, and the other unscrewed the cap of the bottle himself:

"It's a real failure, a woman who has worked hard to have children all her life and pinned her hopes of maintaining her rule on blood relations, but after her death, her children don't even have a person who wants to avenge her, even the son who usually values her the most."

"Not to mention revenge, even the only people who cried for her were Brynn and Chiffon."

Katakuri didn't see annoyance, just opened the wine bottle and drank it slowly, "I don't know if Lola hasn't received the news, she's been running away from marriage for two years, if she reads the newspaper, she will probably be sad for a while." ”

Brynn, Chifon, Lola.

The three of them have been disliked by BIGMOM for a long time, and they have always been unpopular in the family, and even had the experience of almost dying at the hands of their mother.

BUT WHEN BIGMOM DIED, IT WAS THESE THREE KIND-HEARTED DAUGHTERS WHO WOULD CRY FOR HER, AND ONLY THESE THREE PEOPLE, WHICH HAS TO BE SAID TO BE A GREAT IRONY.

Neither of them continued to speak, but bathed in twilight, drinking the rest of the wine in silence.
