Chapter 40: Lining up and saluting!!
Huadu is the famous name of the island of West. Because of the coexistence of the four seasons on the island, the altitude of the area is different, and countless flowers and flowers can be found here, and it is called the "flower capital" by the world.
The City of Ten Thousand Flowers!
As one of the countries that are members of the world government, the designated supply place for decorative flowers of the Tianlong people, the flower capital has been peaceful for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is a rare peaceful island in the era of pirates.
Ordinary pirates wouldn't dare to make trouble on this island, even the unstoppable supernovas.
Because they know very well that what awaits them here will be a search from both the navy and the secret services of the world government, and there will be no hiding place in the sea! Even if they escape back to the four seas, the navy will frantically rush up and bring them to justice on the spot!
There is only one reason......
The flowers here are designated by the Tianlong people!
It seems silly to make such a big deal just for the flowers that the Draco people like, but this kind of thing is not unusual.
……
The place where the warships landed was the "Summer Land" of the Four Seasons region of the Isle of West, where the grass was delicious, the flowers were red and willow green, and the fragrance of nature wafted in the air. The exterior walls of the port buildings are covered with creepers, lush greenery, and as far as the eye can see, the green and gorgeous plants are integrated with the city and coexist in harmony.
The capital of flowers, the capital of ten thousand flowers, it is better to see than to hear!
Poof!
The thick steel anchor was lowered by the winch, the water splashed with white waves, and the deck at the guardrail began to deform with the sound of the machine churning, forming a wooden ladder that slowly extended to the moss-covered stone steps of the harbor.
Boom!
The soldier operates the disc, which jams and locks. Then salute Karp: "Lieutenant General Karp, the stairs have been installed!" ”
"Well, inform everyone...... Lined up! ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers sprang into action, straightening their waists, their muskets shoulder-high, lined up in two columns, and marched along the stairs one to the left and one to the right.
As a member of the world government and a designated flower supplier of Tianlong people, Huadu has a high status on the sea. The naval warships under the banner of the world government are docked, and no matter what their status is, they still have to get enough courtesy.
Karp rarely put down the doughnut that he never left his hand today, and while he was dressed neatly, the righteous man behind him was spotless, like an old man who went on a blind date.
Just as he was about to descend the stairs, Karp suddenly turned back and greeted him.
"Ron, come and stand on my right!"
"Me?!"
In the queue of miscellaneous soldiers, Ron pointed to his nose and looked left and right, and found that everyone around him cast all kinds of eyes of envy, jealousy, and adoration at him.
The sundries are not qualified to be the first to disembark, not to mention that it is the Queen of Huadu who comes to greet Karp, the real pinnacle of power! Being able to get off the boat with Karp means that Karp trusts and is optimistic about him, and his progress is just around the corner!
And...... The position designated by Karp is still the right-hand side that is being peeped at by countless heavenly pride!!
The soldiers of the Navy Headquarters all know that since Karp defeated Locks more than 30 years ago and became a world-famous "Navy Hero", there has only been one person standing on his right hand side on such a serious occasion!
That is the current admiral, "Pheasant" Kuzan!
Maybe there's another ...... One of the new recruits in the navy who was assigned to Rogue Town in the East China Sea last year as a goalkeeper, Smoker, who is naturally a smoke fruit ability, heard that he was also standing on the right-hand side at that time.
But that time it was only in the East China Sea, meeting with a local state leader, and at the same time visiting a friend, and taking Smoker with him. Compared with the great voyage dignified "Flower Capital", the gap is very different!
Even Major General Tryon, the adjutant who has the two-color domineering power and is proficient in the Six Styles and Kendo, is only standing in the left-hand position at the moment. To receive this honor, Karp's importance to Ron is self-evident.
For a moment, countless soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath and cast looking up at Ron.
"Lieutenant General Karp, isn't this a little too early?"
Tryan is not jealous of Ron, the word "talent" has long been seen clearly when he reaches this position. But Ron is only a handyman now, and his strength is still far behind, so it is a little inappropriate to put him on his right hand side.
"It's okay, I'm sure of thunder imps."
"Well, since you insist......"
Tryon paused, and like the rest of the soldiers, gave Ron a nod salute.
The details of this are not clear to Ron, who is a traverser. He simply thought that Karp was optimistic about himself, and wanted him to brush his face in the outside world first and leave some popularity...... Bringing the promising juniors with you and introducing them to other big people is a common way of taking care of any world.
Since you have decided to join the navy, even if it is just to become stronger, the importance of your connections at sea and your reputation at sea is self-evident! Karp was grateful that he could do this, and Ron stepped out of the queue and leaned over with a firm footstep.
Regardless of the upper level of government, this atmosphere, these people, is very good......
However, he was not merciful, and smiled: "Is this really good, Lieutenant General Karp?" I'm just a handyman! ”
Karp glared: "Why are you talking so much nonsense!" The old man gives you a second! ”
Swish!
Zizizizi!
As soon as the words fell, thunder flashed. More than ten meters away, next to Karp, the corners of Ron's mouth twitched into a human form. Suddenly, he laughed wickedly and whispered.
"I'll bet five Baileys, and you won't dare to hit me now."
Because of where they are, the crowd below is clearly visible. In addition to greeting the royal family according to etiquette, there were countless onlookers who came to pay homage to the "glory of the heroes of the navy".
"Hey, I'm talking about you kid......"
Capden was furious, the corners of Tryon's eyes twitched wildly, and he coughed dryly: "Lieutenant General, it's time to go......"
Seeing that the knuckles of his fingers pressed on the hilt of the sword were white, if the two continued to mess around, he was ready to be held accountable and sent to a military court, but he would definitely draw his sword and cut the two of them!
Knowing what to think, Karp snorted, ignored Ron, and strode forward, stepping on the stairs first.
"All of them...... Salute! ”
With the angry shouting, the soldiers neatly raised their right hands to their foreheads, there was no "bang" rhythm, only heard a muffled sound of "bang", hundreds of soldiers who were still standing calmly just now raised their right hands at the same time, the white flowers were exactly the same, the scene was shocking!
The salute is not only a sign of respect for the member countries, but also a way for the navy to show its strength and discipline to the people, so that the people can feel at ease from the era of pirates!
For a time, hundreds of people spoke out in admiration and had a new understanding of the imposing navy.
"Is this the soldier of the Navy Headquarters? Sure enough, it's different from the branch! ”
"That's Lieutenant General Karp, the hero who captured One Piece Roger!"
"Mom, Mom, I want to be a general when I grow up!"
"Hehehe, then you have to eat obediently, and only if you are strong can you become a navy!"
Under the watchful gaze of the people's worship, the trio, led by Karp, came to the queen of the flower capital lined up in the port.
"Welcome to Huadu!"
The queen nodded slightly, the smile on her face was just right, not overstepping, not pretentious, enthusiastic and sincere.
Swish!
The other two saluted silently, but fortunately, Ron, as a person with the ability of the Thunder Fruit, had his reaction speed enhanced, otherwise he would have to make a fuss.
"Huh?"
With a cold sweat on his forehead and a cold sweat on his forehead, Ron suddenly noticed that Karp looked a little strange.
He didn't dare to look directly at the Queen of Huadu, clasped the back of his head with a big grin, and held back a sentence for a long time: "What's that...... Long time no see, Rosa. ”
The Queen of Huadu is not young, almost the same age as Karp, although she is good at maintenance and her charm still exists, but the frown on her face still betrays her without hesitation.
Dressed in a long dress adorned with green leaves and roses, she wears a golden laurel wreath with an eyeball-sized emerald gemstone in the center. The whole person exudes a kind of lazy, noble and mature temperament unique to the queen, and when she was young, she must be a beautiful woman who is obsessed with thousands of teenagers!
Seeing Karp's appearance, the Queen of Huadu, known as "Rosa", curled the corners of her mouth, raised her tulle right hand at him as if she were doing business, and asked him to kiss his hand.
"It's been a long time, Lieutenant General Karp."
Queen Rosa said slowly: "If it weren't for the banquet held on the 70th birthday of this king, I would have died of old age, and I wouldn't have seen your last face." ”
Click......
Under Ron's subtle gaze, Karp, who had just bent down and was heartless, suddenly stiffened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hardness of his muscles ...... Ron reckoned that he couldn't even stab a knife in it now!
There is adultery!
There's an adultery!!
The fire of gossip in Ron's eyes is burning, Dorag's mother, Luffy's mother-in-law, Karp's wife, this is an eternal problem that has plagued countless pirate fans!
Is it here that the answer will be revealed?
Two more words, Your Majesty, reveal the black history of the old bastard!
