Night falls.

Somewhere dozens of nautical miles away from the Tianlan King Capital, there was an inconspicuous steam turbine ship moored, which was a medium-sized cruise ship of a small trading firm attached to the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce, and it was on a normal voyage.

At this moment, the ship is brightly lit, and the banquet hall is filled with all kinds of fine food and wine, and there is laughter.

After Raymond and his party sneaked out of the royal capital in a lifeboat, they got on the receiving boat that had been prepared a long time ago. Joselyn and some of the surviving old subordinates of the Golden Tooth Pirates have been waiting for a long time.

This was a reception banquet to celebrate Anna's escape, and everyone was smiling.

Aldrich naturally knew Anna, he saw his disciple go to the palace to make such a big noise, kill the king, and save such a red-haired beauty, this old man suddenly felt that he had guessed something, and there was always an indescribable ambiguous light in his eyes when he looked at Raymond and the others. The old man was worried that Raymond would have an accident, but after seeing that his disciple had returned safely, he also drank excitedly.

It's a night of victory, a night of reunion.

Aldrich, Boggs, Judy, Lulu, Colin, Matthew, Elijah... And the "Golden Tooth Pirates" Gulev, Joselen... A large table of people was eating and drinking merrily.

Oh, and there's a monkey who fell in love with drinking. Gigi is twisting a piece of baked oily flesh with one paw, eating it with oily face, and holding a wooden wine glass with a big head on one paw, and drinking slightly drunk... The crowd laughed.

The whole banquet was carried out in a joyful atmosphere, and it was very happy.

......

The Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce's business focus has all been inclined to the area infiltrated by the revolutionary army, and now the president of the Thunderbird, Gaunt Baylor, and the elders of the Yigan clan have gone first. Matthew and Elijah are two siblings who plan to stay near the royal capital and secretly maintain the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and take over Raymond and the others by the way.

Satiated

Hiccup~

Aldridge's eyes were drunk and he burped. He was also curious about what his disciple was going to do next, so he asked, "Raymond, now that you have rescued Anna, what are you going to do next?" ”

This one, almost everyone focused their attention.

This is also the top concern of all.

Raymond smiled and said, "I'm going to go to the Endless Sea, but now our long-distance ship is about a month or two away from being built... During this time, I also have some personal matters to do. ”

Aldridge naturally guessed that he was talking about taking out Mayer Clive to get revenge. Now everyone knows the cause of his blindness in his left eye, and the beginning and end of the war that led Philip two years ago.

"Oh"

This answer was also expected, "What about the Clive family?" ”

Raymond nodded, "Yes." ”

Aldrich pondered for a moment, with some worry in his eyes, and said: "According to you, Meyer is the one who has the ability of the 'sour fruit' at the beginning, so his strength should naturally not be underestimated." Two years ago, Archduke Philip couldn't help him, and now I'm afraid his strength is even stronger..."

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, Mayer Clive's identity is still the captain of the World Mansion CP9, and after this battle in the palace, he will definitely take more precautions.."

Raymond naturally knew very well the power of the natural Devil Fruit, and he said with a smile: "Meyer must be killed, if he doesn't die, this Black Sea will not be able to live in peace... As for the World Navy, it's hard to say now, but in two months, there is no need to worry. ”

Aldrich: "Oh? ”

Raymond didn't go around the bush either, and said directly: "In about two months, the Revolutionary Army will launch a full-scale uprising across the entire Black Sea." When the time comes, they will launch a general attack on the Tianlan King Capital, and at the same time, they will completely destroy the forces of the World Mansion's layout in the Black Sea..."

"That's right..."

Aldrich and Matthew have now been in contact with the upper echelons of the Revolutionary Army, so they naturally know some inside information.

They were just a little surprised that Raymond actually knew the specific time when the revolutionary army would launch a general offensive. It seems that his relationship with the "General Staff" Chapman is even more delicate than expected.

With the great help of the revolutionary army, the world government really doesn't need to worry too much.

At this time, Raymond pointed to Lulu and Colin beside him, a relaxed smile appeared, and said, "What's more, even if I can't beat it, I still have my partners." ”

Although the strength of Lulu and Colin is not clear to everyone, it may be affirmed by Raymond and Gulev, and in their minds, they must also be the top existence in the Black Sea.

Having said this, everyone was relieved.

But when it came to the "Endless Sea", the atmosphere of the warm banquet suddenly became a little inexplicably sad.

Only to get together seems to mean a more distant parting.

Gulev glanced at Anna and said, "Little princess... Are you going to the Endless Sea? ”

"Hmm."

Anna nodded, pointed to Raymond beside her, and said, "I promised Raymond to be his navigator and go to the end of the world together... Besides, my original dream was to become a great navigator. ”

Anna was not prepared to rebuild the Campbell dynasty, nor did she intend to be queen, as everyone had long known.

Hearing her plan to prepare for a long voyage, Gulev, Joselyn and other remnants of the former dynasty all stood up and said without hesitation: "We will always follow the little princess!" ”

"No..."

Anna shook her head, glanced at the group of middle-aged relict ministers, and sighed slowly, "The Campbellian dynasty is over, and the Salo regime is about to fall... I fulfilled my wish for revenge, and everyone fulfilled their mission... Everyone never owes me the Campbell family, but our family owes you too much. ”

Her tone was full of gratitude, and as she spoke, she got up and bowed deeply to everyone, "After so many years, I have worked hard for everyone. ”

"Little princess!"

Even a rugged man like Gulev was a little at a loss for a while.

"No... Uncle Gulev, Aunt Joseline, and everybody... Whether it's to my father or to me, everyone has done their best... Our mission is over. ”

Anna shook her head, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes, and a smile rose into her mouth.

Her eyes sparkled, there was joy, and more of a happy expectation for the future, and she said: "At this moment, I can finally pursue my ideals... This is my only ideal, the most beautiful dream now, and I want to complete it myself, to see the scenery at the end of the world that my ancestors dreamed of..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Raymond and added, "With my captain, and with my friends." ”

When Gulev heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Going to the Endless Sea not only requires great strength, but also means saying goodbye to your homeland, and it is rare to be able to return home.

Everyone knows that this farewell may be goodbye.

That route has such unparalleled magic for adventurers, but it is also extremely dangerous.

For countless years, how many powerful people with outstanding talents and adventurers with dreams in the Black Sea have gone to endless shipping routes and never returned... There are only a handful of big names like Sodros who have made a name for themselves, and more of them have died in a foreign land... Maybe it was a shipwreck, maybe it was a powerful pirate, a sea king, a disease...

The Endless Sea, for generations of people living in this remote Black Sea, the Endless Sea is both a hope and a nightmare.

The emotion of sadness and parting is spreading,

At this time,

Anna's eyes were red, and she said, "Uncle Gulev, thank you for taking such good care of me all the time. But this time, I hope you can stay in the Black Sea ... Now that the situation is turbulent, both the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce and the Aldrich teachers need the protection of the strong... Here are our roots... Only when we are safe here, can we set sail without worries, gallop the sea, and pursue the end of our dreams..."

"Little princess..."

The bereaved ministers had already burst into tears.

In fact, Gulev also knew it in his heart. The little princess's companions are very strong, except for the talented and demonic captain Raymond, the ship doctor and mechanic are all hidden masters, and even the monkey Jiji has great potential, and he will be far stronger than himself when he grows up to adulthood in the future.

Although he is now the top powerhouse in the Black Sea, after all, he has already reached the age there, and it is not very likely that he wants to break through again, and it is difficult to have a foothold in the Endless Sea.

The little princess has powerful partners like Raymond who are willing to give their lives to save her, and they no longer need to worry and protect themselves.

When the young eagles grow up and want to soar into the sky, they should also let go and let them fly to a higher sky.

In fact, they also know that the little princess has not been happy for more than ten years of revenge. All the burdens lay on her weak shoulders. Now that she is "free" and truly free, it is time for her to pursue her ideals and become a great navigator like her ancestors.

"Okay, don't be so sad, everyone."

Anna wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, tried to look happy, and said with a smile: "You should pay more attention to the newspaper in the future, and our news will appear in the newspaper... We're going to make a name for ourselves in the Endless Sea! ”

"Hmmm! Little princess, I wish you all the best on your voyage in advance..."

The Gulevs nodded wistfully and raised their glasses.

......

The festive banquet became very sad, and the reception banquet suddenly became a farewell banquet before the voyage.

But before the sad atmosphere of the crowd could spread, it was suddenly diluted by a series of hurried footsteps.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! ”

At this time, the servant ran into the banquet hall in a panic and shouted, "President Matthew... Oh no, there are pirates robbing! It's the 'Hyena Pirates'! ”

As soon as these words came out, the sad emotions in everyone's eyes were swept away, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall instantly became very strange.

Everyone looked at each other, no one in the room spoke anymore, and a pin drop could be heard for a while.

This strange atmosphere lasted for two or three breaths,

At this time,

"What?"

Matthew plucked his ears to make sure he heard correctly. He asked rhetorically with a look of incredulity, "You say... Are there pirates ready to rob our merchant ships? ”

"Yes, I will grow!"

The servant had no idea who was sitting in the room, and when he saw that no one was talking, he thought that everyone was frightened, and asked anxiously, "What shall we do now, President?" ”

Matthew looked at the big guy in the room and twitched his fat face.

The first big pirate in the Black Sea, "Golden Fang" Gulev, is here, and there are still long-eyed pirates who want to rob? Let alone... And Raymond, the top bigwigs on the wanted list?

He looked at Raymond, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Raymond, what do you see?" ”

Raymond's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said, "That... Just let them in. ”

Hearing this, a wicked smile flashed in Matthew's little eyes, and he immediately understood.

He instructed the servants, "Tell the guards not to resist and let the pirates in." ”

"Huh?"

When he heard this, the servant thought that he had heard it wrong, and his face was full of astonishment.

He had no idea what kind of horror the protagonists of the banquet were, or why his own president would be so respectful of a stranger. Although this "decision" seemed a bit unthinkable to him, he could only accept the order, "Yes, I will grow up." ”

He thought that the elder was probably planning to negotiate with the pirates and spend money to settle.

Ay... Let's hope the greedy pirates don't open their mouths.
