Chapter 412: Choice
It was an almost unreasonable request, and apparently the Captain of the Guard could not agree to it.
If he agrees, the best thing for him to do in the next moment is to get in, and the worst is to go to the execution table.
But he was very witty, and did not directly say the words of refusal, in terms of identity, his identity could not be compared to the rear admiral at all, and the unreasonableness of strongly stating this matter was useless in front of Fang Xing, and he turned to push off the nobleman.
β.. Major General, this matter must be decided by the nobles in charge, so you can discuss it. The guard said. What he meant was that if the nobles agreed, he had no opinion. But thinking about it, as long as Fang Xing was still a regular navy, he couldn't cross that binding line, so he had to discuss it with the nobles, and the final result was most likely that the nobles made some concessions, and Fang Xing took away dozens of people.
However, he didn't think about it, but Fang Xing didn't follow the rules.
"It's really hard, I don't want to discuss anything." Fang Xing said softly, but his words were full of domineering and non-negotiable.
It's hard for me! The captain of the guard was indignant in his heart, and said: "Your Excellency, Major General. Even if you are a rear admiral of the navy, you still need to consult with the nobles in the kingdom in this matter, although I have no opinion on this matter, but once you do, the nobles will sue you... So let's think again. β
The navy, as the security keeper of the sea, has the privilege of joining the world government, but this privilege is not absolute, at least if the navy wants to intervene in some affairs of the country, it must consult the headquarters, and the headquarters and the world government jointly wholesale before deciding. The only people in the navy who have the power to make decisions without prior advice are the admirals and marshals.
Fang Xing rubbed his fingers lightly, a contemptuous smile on his face, "Aristocrats.. What's the matter with me, didn't I say it, I'm not going to do anything to discuss. β
The Captain's face froze, and he realized that the boy was not joking. This also means that there is no room for relaxation between the two, and even if there is a difference in status, he must prevent the major general in front of him from doing such a thing.
But before he attacked, those who had been given hope, enjoyed the gaze of the public, and thought they could leave here, were even more unacceptable.
Most of the people here have committed crimes, especially the sturdy men, most of them come in with brawls and other acts, not to mention those who dare to stand up to the sight of the captain of the guard, these people can be said to be brave people.
β.. Why take them away? And not us! β
"What can those weak guys do?"
"Compared to them, we can still fight!"
They scrambled to speak, while the other civilians remained timidly silent, just as they did not dare to stand in front of the eyes of the captain of the guard when Fang Xing had just said his request, and they did not dare to stand up to the eyes of these rough companions and say something for themselves.
No one responded, and the captain of the guard ignored the development of this situation, people will always struggle when they are desperate, especially after the desire to sound, this riot will break out, after all, people are crazy when they grasp the last straw. The Captain of the Guard knew this, and in fact, so did he. He only needed to kill one or two people with the gun in his hand to stop this situation, but he chose to ignore it for no other reason than to live.
Once Fang Xing didn't change his words, the rioters would attack, and before entering this door, he had already observed it in advance, judging from Fang Xing's attire, it was impossible to hide a sharp weapon that could contain the situation. In other words, he had to fight the mob with his bare hands, and he could take the opportunity to see what the youngest rear admiral was capable of.
If it's just a faΓ§ade, then there are many solutions.
Fang Xing lowered his eyebrows, his red eyes looked gray in the afterglow of the sunset, which had slowly entered dusk and faded. He looked at the rioting crowd and didn't know what to think.
Just a moment before the sturdy men were about to endure it anymore and then persecute it, Fang Xing suddenly said: ".. I don't need people to fight. β
"Fighting? That is, we need other people, and we can do other jobs as well,.. No matter how bad it is, we can learn, please save us! β
"I'm not a giver."
β.. We don't need your handouts, as long as you give us a chance. A man said.
Fang Xing was silent, and after the silence, he nakedly refused, "I won't give you this chance." β
"Why?"
"Because I said, I don't want it, it's as simple as that."
The sturdy twenty-four men looked at each other, hinting at something to each other with their eyes. This answer made them disappointed, but there was no doubt, because the initiative was in Fang Xing's hands, and if he was unwilling, then they couldn't help it. This was supposed to be the case, but they felt the guard commander's gaze move away, which was hinting, they looked at Fang Xing's weak body, and began to have other thoughts, resist!
But as soon as they had the idea, the air in the air seemed to thicken in an instant, and they were trapped in this nest of mud. Twenty-four sturdy men seemed to struggle, the strongest of them could lift two hundred pounds of stone with one hand, but even such a strong arm could not change the predetermined fate. They were under the shackles of the air, and their arms were slowly carried on their backs, little by little, until the sound of bones shattering.
"Ahh Ahh
There were roars one after another, and the captain of the guard stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, like a stunned civilian.
What's going on?
He cast his eyes on Fang Xing, who didn't make any movement on the side, even if he was standing there motionless at the moment. But the captain of the guard knew that this matter was even the work of the rear admiral in front of him. However, how he can create this kind of turmoil and effect without action is unscientific. On the islands far away in the East China Sea, the captain of the guard didn't even know about the Devil Fruit, so naturally he couldn't even make a judgment on the Devil Fruit.
"Can I leave?" Fang Xing said.
β.. Can.. OK. β
The captain of the guard did not stop it, it should be said that he did not dare to stop it. He knew that even if he was involved in the blockade, no change would happen, and he was planning... Planning to escape from the island. Fortunately, the nobles generally don't pay attention to this, and often only deal with this side of the matter at the moment before the Celestial Dragon is about to come, or sell, or kill, then he should have enough time to prepare, and the guards in the outer city have a good relationship with him, and he should be able to get mixed up with a reason.
Fang Xing walked in the direction of the door, and the other civilians, who showed their strange strength and the identity of the rear admiral, plus the desire to survive, slowly took the initiative to follow him.
From beginning to end, Fang Xing never raised his eyes to look at the sturdy man who was crushed to the ground by him.
He is like an indifferent nobleman, easily choosing the lives of others, which also makes the commoners even more fearful.
It's just that when he walked out of the corner door, he unconsciously looked up in the same direction. The reason why he made this choice was because of the choice.
In the group of slaves who were originally rescued with a smile, it was a deformed composition. Too many men in the prime of life, and sexy women who are charming...
In the absence of a laughing intervention, accidents are inevitable. And in such a structure that is already about to lose its balance, if you invest in this kind of men who may have changed, you must know that the vast majority of the able-bodied men who are banished to the "corner" are criminals.
Is this disgusting things not enough aunt?
He needs, perhaps what this organization needs, some cowardly and honest people's adjustments, although there may still be other changes in it, but not to the point where it cannot be adjusted. Because without force, all coercive violence is nothing but empty talk.
β¦β¦
When night falls, the small village of the same island as the Kingdom of Goa, Windmill Village.
It is a laid-back village built on green turf, faintly visible in the moonlight, and the windmill village's characteristic wind wheels sway in the wind with the moonlit turf.
In one of the calm huts, the lights that had just been extinguished suddenly turned on again, and at the same time, a voice of surprise and a little doubt sounded.
β.. Fang Xing? β
Magino was dressed in her pajamas, looking at Fang Xing, who had suddenly appeared in her room, with a hint of anger and blush on her face. As she was about to go to bed, she was startled when she noticed someone in the room, and she let out a roar. However, under her exclamation, there was no movement in the next room, as if it was shielded, and she immediately lit the extinguished lamp and saw the comer.
She looked at Fang Xing, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and there was no difference from the one in the newspaper. His white hair, white skin, and delicate face that made women envious of him when he was a child, made her judge that it was Fang Xing himself.
But this... But it wasn't the reason for him to appear in the girl's boudoir, but it was just before going to bed.
"Yo, Magino, I'm hungry," Fang Xing beckoned.
Magino saw his attitude, but his anger subsided, and sure enough, he was just a child. She asked, "Aren't you on the Great Voyage?" Why did you come back all of a sudden, and I heard the village chief talk about you not long ago. β
"The old man?" Fang Xing's face was full of disdain, "What are you talking about me?" β
Magino smiled, not angry at Fang Xing's rudeness, "The village chief is proud of the fact that you have become a rear admiral. β
"Less lying. I just came out of his room. But the old man said, 'Well, the navy has been true lately, and it's getting more and more disappointing to let a young guy be a rear admiral, either because there's some conspiracy, or because the brains of that group of people are rotten.' That's the way it goes. β
Fang Xing elaborated and said.
Magino smiled again, seemingly embarrassed by being poked by Fang Xing.
"But... I guess he'll continue to disappoint him. Fang Xing muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Magino was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had misheard it just now, but she didn't think about it for too long, she asked directly: "Dadan.. There, did you go? She's the one who misses you the most. β
"When I came back, the first thing I went to was her, but she was so terrible that I ran away."
"Terrible?"
"Think about it, a man's wife, full of snot, suddenly rushes out, and then wants to wipe the snot on your body, if I don't run, I guess I will have to be covered with snot and tears, so I ran."
"You still haven't changed." Magino propped her hands, "I still like to talk back, there should be a good reunion." β
"Cut, I don't even have a meal, what kind of gathering, gathering is a party, and a party should be held... But they just cried. Fang Xing's words seemed to be a little disdainful, but there was a little emotion in his words.
Magino just looked at him and didn't say anything. He's still so stubborn, just like Luffy who went to sea.
"Luffy... He misses you a lot, too. β
"I miss him too, thinking... He's been thinking about it for an unknown number of years, but it seems that the trajectory has been turning. β
Under his inquiry, it was known that Luffy had already gone to sea first. In this pirate world that has been disrupted by him, what kind of waves will Luffy set off when he still goes to sea? He couldn't be sure either, everything was just unknown.
"It's really a kind brotherhood." Magino said.
"No, this is naked revenge, that guy has pitted me, and I was slammed by that old man Karp with that so-called 'Iron Fist of Love', and I want to beat him back on the head." Fang Xing stroked his head, and there was occasionally a pain from it.
"So... Do you mean to leave this time? β
Fang Xing was silent for a moment, and then said, "I can't stay here for too long, and even if I came to Windmill Village, I only came secretly. β
He first placed the people he had taken away in the direction of the docks, and then made it to the windmill village by levitating into the air and making it to the windmill village under the cover of night. What he is doing now is illegal after all, especially since the Kingdom of Goa is a country that pays attention to rules, and if some clues are exposed, it may cause more or less trouble for this peaceful village. He didn't want to do that, that's why he chose this time.
Moreover, he can't stay longer, if he stays for a long time, the people he brings out may more or less change. Although he is not afraid of the power of the Goya Kingdom, sometimes things change not necessarily on the outside, but also on the inside. The group that was already trembling was just let go outside, who knows what kind of things will be done.
Magino glanced at Fang Xing, she knew what big things Fang Xing had done, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. But she didn't ask, just touched Fang Xing's head, treating him like a child as he did when he was a child. After comforting her with this gesture, she went out, opened the room and began to prepare food.
