Chapter 385: Momonosuke's Death
"Desert Kingdom" Alabastan, "Land of Love, Passion and Fairies" Dressrosa, "Kingdom of Iron Buckets" Magnetic Drum Island, "Kingdom of Arms" Prodes, "Country of Flowers" of the West Sea, "Land of Science" Jerma of the North Sea, "Fish-Man Island" Dragon Palace Country, "Golden City" Gran Tezzolo.
Among them, Alabastan and Valpo's Magnetic Drum Island have nothing to do with Kallet, and Fish-Man Island even has some gaps because of Carl's slaughter of Fish-Men.
But Carl didn't care about that, he didn't have any illusions that he could be a "hero" supported by the local people wherever he went, like Luffy.
Because it's not realistic, after all, everyone is an independent-minded person.
Without the aura of the "Children of the Plane", it would not have been possible to achieve this goal.
Normally, there are no permanent enemies and friends in exchanges between countries, only permanent interests.
Dressrosa, Prodians, Jerma, and the country of flowers became Kaller's friends because of their interests... Friends on the surface.
Although they are all wall-roots who can "fall on both sides" at any time, in Carl's opinion, this is enough.
Because you can't expect others to support you after your own failure, which is something that only Yuri or the Queen of Blades, who have absolute control over the minds of their subordinates, can do.
Of the aforementioned nations, only Tezzolo's Golden City was the only one that Karl spent time and energy tied to the ship "Cutler".
After all, only those who share the same ideal goal can be called "comrades".
As for "Sand Crocodile" Klockdahl, he has long been abandoned by Karl.
Although Klockdahl has a very powerful mind and has the value of becoming a "military advisor", he is also a guy with a backbone in the back of his head.
This crocodile is too cunning, and at the same time is the kind of person who is not willing to be subordinate to others, and the sand crocodile does not aim the same as Kahlert.
There is a military organization with the same name as "Cutler" in the Arad world, and their supreme leader, Anzu Seifer, was usurped by a cadre named "Rantilus", and Karl does not want to follow in his footsteps.
……
The World Conference is a very large conference that lasts for several days, and the war of words like the one that Tezzolo participated in today is like a "debate competition", which is played out every day in the various conference rooms of Mary Joy.
A fruitless meeting ended in a chattering quarrel.
"It's boring."
Tezzolo snorted coldly as he walked out of the conference room, and he commented disdainfully, not paying attention to the gazes of the other kings and government officials.
Tezzolo's words were clearly heard by the empty air who had just walked out of the conference room: "Oh? What do you think, Mr. Tezzolo? ”
Most of the military expenses of the navy, land and air force come from the world government, and most of the funds of the world government come from the heavenly gold of the Tianlong people, and Tezzolo is the largest financier of the heavenly gold.
Naturally, Sora's attitude towards Tezzolo was not as bad as it was towards Valpo.
Tezzolo looked at Sora and smiled faintly: "Marshal Sora, what do you think is the reason why everyone has been unable to discuss the results?" ”
Sora narrowed his eyes, he wondered, could it be that Tezzolo was referring to interests? Are these kings already in collusion with the Revolutionary Army or with Calet?
Without waiting for a reply, Tezzolo continued: "Is it true that they are discussing which is more powerful, the Revolutionary Army or Calet, and which is more threatening to the World Government?
In fact, they are only arguing about who is right and who is wrong. ”
Tezzolo stared at the empty eyes, and a hint of banter appeared on his face: "So they will never discuss the result, and will only let the argument continue endlessly."
Marshal Kong, isn't this a farce? ”
Empty energy sat in this position, and he didn't know the truth of what Tezzolo said.
In fact, the "symbolic" value of the World Conference is much higher than the value of "discussion", which symbolizes the great unity of the people of the world and allows the world government to carefully observe the attitudes of the participating countries.
When the real decision-making comes, it is not the world government that has the final say?
If there is any objection, then move out of the Tianlong people.
"Look, it's the world's noble Tianlong people who are here!"
I don't know who shouted, and everyone's eyes looked at the Tianlong man who came from afar for the first time.
Dressed in oddly fat clothes and with bubbles filtering the air on their heads, the Draconians were dressed like astronauts and were instantly recognizable in the crowd.
Sora and Tezzolo were about to pretend they didn't see it and leave, but they stopped just as they were about to leave.
Because the bodyguards beside the Celestial Dragon were picking up the envoys of various countries who were kneeling down to him along the way.
"It seems to be Rockwell St.
Sora and Tezzolo glanced at each other and walked over together.
"Rockwell Saint, how did you get here?"
Sora and Tezzolo bowed to the Draconians and did not kneel.
Miraculously, this Celestial Dragon Man was not angry at all, but looked at Sora and Tezzolo with a smile: "After all, this is the quadrennial world conference, no matter what you say, I have to come and take a look." ”
None of the Five Old Stars, the Marshal of the Three Armies, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies were Draconians, but they all obeyed these world nobles unconditionally, and not only because their ancestors created the World Government 800 years ago.
There are hundreds of Draconians living in the Holy Land of Mary Joya, and compared to those Draconians who only know how to eat, drink, and bully civilians, there are actually many shrewd Draconians here.
The Kobra of the Neferutari family is a wise and responsible king, and Doflamingo of the Don Quixote family is a strong man with the color of a tyrant.
The one in front of him, known as the "Rockwell Saint", is a shrewd Draconian, and he will not force others to bow down to him like other Draconians.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the Holy Land of Mary Joya, he wouldn't even be wearing that "spacesuit".
This simple contrast made Rockwell easily gain the favor of many officials and the public.
One is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the World Government, and the other is the big benefactor of the Celestial Dragons, and it is not the first time that Sora and Tezzolo have met Rockwell.
"Sora, Tezzolo, do you two know anything about Wano Country?"
Following behind Rockwell, Sora first glanced at Tezzolo before replying, "Wano Country is not a member of the World Government, but also a closed country.
The old man was a rough man, so all he knew about it was that it was rich in brave samurai. ”
"What about you, Tezzolo?"
"It's supposed to be a poor country, right? There are very few people in Wano Country on my boat to entertain! And it is said that it has now been captured by the Hundred Beast Pirates. ”
Rockwell suddenly stopped, he turned to look at Sora and Tezzolo, and asked, "One of you two has strength and the other is rich, so is there any way for you to take the opportunity to let Wano Country join the World Government?" ”
"This ......"
"Hey, Rockwell St., why are you here?"
Before Sora and Tezzolo could think of an answer, a fat-headed Draco man walked over and knelt down along the way.
In this comparison, even if Rockwell is not as close to the people as Kobra, people's favorability of Rockwell will naturally grow a lot.
"Hello, Charross."
Rockwell stepped forward and greeted each other in front of Sora and Tezzolo.
The male name of the Draco people will add the word "saint" at the end, and the female will add the word "gong", even if the Draco people call each other is no exception.
Rockwell's status among the Draconians is relatively high, and Charross focuses all his attention on Rockwell, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring Sora and Tezzolo, who did not bow down.
"You...... Why are there still small children? ”
Rockwell looked at the slave behind Charroth and couldn't help but frown.
"Hehe, this kid is a native of Wano Country, and he is rarer than the slaves of the Fish-Man Clan. To tell the truth, the women of Wano Country are really good, with fine skin and tender meat, but their vitality is not strong enough, so they died after playing a few times. ”
Tezzolo frowned imperceptibly, holding back his murderous aura from overflowing.
His first love, "Stella", was played to death by the Draconians, and hearing Charroth's words, Tezzolo remembered the person he didn't want to remember.
Rockwell glanced back at Sora and Tezzolo and his own guards, who understood and hurriedly dispersed all the people in the vicinity of the Draconians to prevent the envoys of various countries from hearing these unsightly words.
Sora was even thinking that it would be nice if he pretended not to see Rockwell just now, and it would be embarrassing to leave now, and not to go.
"Then what are you doing with this little boy left with you? I think you don't have this fetish, right? ”
Mixed with all kinds of Draconians every day, Rockwell certainly knows everything, and has seen all kinds of perverted fetishes.
"Ah, no, I fed this little imp a Devil Fruit, and then he was able to extract the souls of other slaves to bring the toys back to life, which is very interesting."
"This king and eight calves ......"
Hearing this, Sora scolded Charross, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood.
This is one of the former Four Emperors, BIGMOM, Charlotte Lingling's soul fruit, if it is eaten by the right person, but it can cultivate a naval admiral, why did this bastard eat this little ghost?
"Come, Momonosuke, you put on a show for Rockwell Saint, and you'll start with ...... Suck the soul out of that slave over there, and bring that tree back to life! ”
Momonosuke?
Hearing the name, Tezzolo struck a thrill in his heart.
Isn't this the imp that Master Carl has been looking for?
Mother and child kidnapped in Wano Country...... Sure enough, it's this little ghost, right?
Thinking of this, Tezzolo looked again at the little imp with a slave collar around his neck and was dressed up in fancy clothes.
Looking at his face, it really looks exactly like the little ghost he saw in the photo.
……
That night, Carl, who received information from Tezzolo, arrived in the furry principality of Zou.
Carl will not break his promise for what he once promised, this is his principle.
In a room on the island of Zau, Duke Inuarashi, who had never gotten along, and the shopkeeper of the cat pit viper finally sat together.
"Mr. Karl, have you really found the whereabouts of the young master?"
Looking at Inulan, Cat Viper, and Raizou's expectant gazes, Carl couldn't help but sigh.
This made the hearts of the three of them half cold.
"What's wrong, Mr. Karl?"
"The enemy who captured Momonosuke is very strong, and if you have to rescue Momonosuke, you must first make an oath."
"What oath?"
The cat pit viper looked at Carl with a look of death on his face.
"I must first remind you that if you fail this rescue and are caught by the enemy, I will not come to your aid.
And if you reveal a shred of information about us, I'll slaughter the entire Furry Duchy, at that price, can you agree? ”
Karl coldly said what he wanted, and an air of despair enveloped everyone.
Raizo looked at the three of them blankly, he just opened his mouth wide and didn't say a word, because as a person from Wano Country, he was not qualified to participate in the decision of the two kings of the Furry Principality.
The cat viper shopkeeper asked, "In other words, if we didn't say anything, you wouldn't have done anything to the Furry Principality, would you?" ”
"That's right."
Inu Lan's expression was grim: "We can still do this, the warriors of the Furry Duchy will never betray their friends." ”
The cat pit viper agreed: "The fur people will never betray their friends!" ”
Carl looked at Raizo, Inuarashi and Cat Viper also looked at Raizo, Raizo hurriedly nodded: "The ninjas of Wano Country have their own dignity, if I am caught, I will kill myself in minutes, and I will definitely not betray anyone!" ”
Since mastering the power of the ghost god Jige, not only the "Frost no Saya" has evolved into the "Ice Crystal Saya", but the other ghost god abilities have also been further strengthened.
Although he can't read minds yet, the power of the psychic mage Purumon has long been more than just the way he was at the beginning, and he can only judge whether others are hostile to him, and now Carl can even tell if others are lying.
Karl stared at the three of them for a long time before finally nodding: "Momonosuke is now in Mary Joa, in the holy place where the nobles of the world live......"
……
A few days later, the last day of the quadrennial "World Conference" arrived, and there was an endless stream of navies and ships from various countries.
Even the emissaries of some countries have left Marijoya early, including some kings who don't care about the movement of the world, such as Valpo, and some small kings who have no say in the world conference.
Compared with the changes in the world, they care more about their own one-third of an acre of land and even their own bad taste.
Valpo was thinking about how he was going to amuse the people again.
"Violet, haven't slept yet?"
That night, King Riku came to his daughter's room.
"Father, I can't sleep." Violet's eye bags were swollen, which was the sequelae of staying up late.
"Don't be afraid, we can leave tomorrow."
King Riku knew what was on his daughter's mind, and it all came from her Devil Fruit abilities.
As a "Staring Fruit" ability, Violet can observe everything that happens to Mary Joa.
He had already heard what the Draconians had done, but it was only when she saw it with her own eyes that he knew how terrible what those world nobles were doing to their slaves.
Compared to them, what Doflamingo had done in Dressrosa could only be described as "gentle", except, of course, the birdcage.
Violet had stopped using her abilities for the next few days, because she couldn't stand the images.
Because of this, she didn't notice the three ghostly figures in the darkness.
"I've already asked, the Draco named Charroth Saint is the son of Rozwald Saint, and their family lives in the palace to the north."
Inuarashi and Cat Viper were once part of the crew of Roger's Pirates, and Raizo was a ninja.
Even Fishman Fisher Tiger, who was ambushed to death by the Rear Admiral, was able to infiltrate Mary Joya and set it on fire, and the three of them could naturally infiltrate easily.
It is obviously a holy place for the world's nobility, but its defense is extremely weak, which may have something to do with the arrogance of the world government.
But...... It is now the time of the World Conference......
The navy is tightly defending the waters of Mary Joya in Paradise and the New World, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Sora, is personally responsible for Mary Joya's safety.
Coupled with CP0's secret police all over Mary Joa, even Carl didn't have the confidence to save a person here, let alone these three people?
Karl didn't persuade them, but they said that it would be more dangerous for the young master to stay in Mary Joya for one more day, and the young master must be rescued as soon as possible.
This is a group of loyal retainers who can't be stopped.
"Inulan, cat pit viper, I remember you two, you are both pirates on Roger's ship, right? Say, what exactly is the purpose of your coming to Mary Joy during the World Conference? ”
Soldiers dressed in the coat of justice and carrying Mary Joya surrounded the three of them, and on top of the trees on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, there were countless secret police.
The cat pit viper glared angrily: "Sora, is it interesting for you to ask these words?" Will we still tell you our purpose? ”
"It's interesting, I'd like to see what the person who broke into Mary Joy looked like."
With a stupid laugh and the dissuasion of his men, Charross led his slaves over.
"This ...... This...... This...... What kind of creature is this? Empty! You are not allowed to kill them, I want you to capture them and make them my slaves!" ”
"Raizo!"
Momonosuke, who was originally like a walking corpse with empty eyes, became active the moment he saw Raizo, and Momonosuke, whose mind was still just a child, did not have any reason at all, he broke free from the rope and ran directly to Raizou.
"Bastard little ghost, you dare to bite me, go to death!"
With a "bang" of gunshot, the bullet was pushed out of the chamber by gunpowder and into the back of Momonosuke's head.
Momonosuke snorted and fell, blood staining the ground.
"Young master!"
The pupils of the three Lei Zang shrank suddenly, and before they could experience the joy of finding the young master, they were re-thrown into the abyss of despair.
"Crazy cat!"
"Stupid dog!"
Inuarashi and Cat Viper call each other the nicknames of each other's bickering when they were young.
"Captain Roger left with a smile, didn't he?"
"Then how can we embarrass him!"
Inuarashi and Cat Viper grinned, but tears poured out uncontrollably like springs.
"For the sake of Duke Ota and the young master!"
"For Captain Roger!"
“…… Kill! ”
