Chapter 173: I wish you a smooth journey
Will stretched out towards the rising sun.
I didn't sleep all night, but my spirit was unusually good.
Because, a new journey is about to begin.
He was excited from the bottom of his bones.
The crew next to him also rose one after another.
I had already told it yesterday, and I would set off at dawn. It's okay to drink, but if you make a mistake, you won't be able to mix it up in the king.
Hundreds of crew members began to work, sorted out supplies, equipment, and prepared for departure.
But...
Instead of loading the cargo onto the Avenger, on the contrary, they are moving the supplies off the ship!
The castle that has been sent into Becky's body one after another!
Craig stood next to him and chatted with Becky, "You can really pretend to be a castle in your body!" Xiao Qianren, plus supplies and equipment, can be loaded into it! β
Becky smoked a cigar, "It was only thanks to the captain's reminder that I deliberately moved in the direction of 'volume'. β
"If you count a heavily armed soldier with a year's worth of supplies."
"My castle currently has a capacity of 2,000 people!"
"So it's more than enough to fit these things now."
Craig gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! I envy it. β
Becky spat out a smoke ring, "Why don't you talk to the captain and change the fruit for you and me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, forget it. β
After a while, hundreds of people cleaned the island.
Cooper sailed the boat into a fjord and hid it.
Will patted the Avenger, "Old man, you wait here for us first, and then come and pick you up after we settle down." β
The Avenger also rose and fell in the waves, as if in response to his words.
Turning his head, he said to Zong Yan and the others, "You guys go into the castle." β
The crowd then rushed in, leaving only Will and Becky.
"The lives of a boatload of people are on me, captain, you have to hold on to it." As he spoke, Becky's body gradually changed, forming a small square castle three or four people tall.
"You kid talks a lot of nonsense!"
As he spoke, he saw the sky above the Avenger suddenly turn dark.
Will seemed to stretch his body, and the next moment, an oriental dragon hundreds of meters long appeared in front of Becky's eyes. The golden scales are like gold, shining brightly even when there is no sunlight.
Including Beki himself, the crew members sitting inside the castle people looked at the creature intently.
"No matter how many times you watch it, it's an awe-inspiring existence."
With a flick of his right front paw, he grabbed Becky's castle violently.
The size is just right.
"Let's go!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Let's go."
In the kingdom of Hagbutcher, in the city of giant shoulders, Polusalino depressedly instructed the adjutant.
After thinking about it all night last night, he still thinks that the Red Flag Society is very suspicious. But the facts in front of him told him that this was not the case. The feeling was maddening.
I wanted to search more carefully, but the ruling prince of Hagbuther rushed to the city that never sleeps that night and lodged a solemn protest against Poru's actions.
The City That Never Sleeps was sealed off by him, but the ordinary people of the City of Giant Shoulders were not.
So it is impossible to block the news. At best, it's a little slower.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence, so he can only give up.
After a night of repairs, I was ready to go.
Feeling the hostile glances from the nearby residents, Poru became even more depressed.
He muttered, "We're a navy." β
Luciano, who was accompanying him throughout the whole process, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "With all due respect, Mr. General." β
"Down there are natives born and raised in the city of giant shoulders, so I can understand their feelings a little bit."
Poru raised an eyebrow, "Yo, then tell me about it." β
"When I was a child, the city of giant shoulders was just a small fishing village. So poor that even pirates can't look down on it. So the people are not happy. β
Later, as Hagbutcher grew, the city of giant shoulders slowly became richer. But the pirates are coming, too. So the people worked hard, hoping to earn wealth that would make their families happy, but at the same time, they were worried that they would not be able to save their lives if they were ransacked by pirates. It can be said that I am looking for a trace of happiness in fear. β
"Later, a society called Outfi appeared. They drove out the pirates and made the City of Giant Shoulders a jewel of the Western Sea. But Otfi has no intention of sharing the fruits with the people. Even if you work hard, you can only ensure food and clothing. But at least it's safe, so there's no complaint. β
"Later, the Red Flag Society came."
Speaking of which, I happened to be in front of Porusalino's warship. Luciano stood still, looking directly into Porru's eyes, the smile on his face that had been maintained all day fading.
"The Red Banner Society is unlike any of the previous rulers. Not only did he drive away the pirates and revive the city, but he also cared about the feelings of the people.
As long as you work hard, you can make your family live a happy life. If you want to make a lot of money, you just need to join Red Flag, whether you are young, a woman, or an old man, Red Flag can always find a job for you that suits you.
They have also built free schools so that children can go to school. Houses were built, and as long as they were willing to work for the Red Flag, they could live in them, so that the poor had a canopy to shelter from the rain.
So the inhabitants of the city of giant shoulders,
Very happy. β
Saying this, Polusalino frowned and put away his smile.
"So you see, there's all that going down there, but there's nothing to connect to β the Navy.
Whether it is poverty, wealth, danger, security, pain, happiness, all these things have nothing to do with the navy.
Maybe you think that the Navy maintains peace in the seas.
But, at least here, the organization that defends the people is called - Red Flag Society! β
"So when you show your fangs at Red Flag, it's natural to invite their hostility.
Because no matter how you look at it, the city of giant shoulders probably won't have a chance to usher in a better ruler again. β
Gion let out a breath of turbidity.
Luciano's words made her depressed as well. It was very different from what she had imagined.
Shouldn't it be the navy that maintains world peace?
Otherwise, what is the point of carrying the name of the Navy on her back?
Gion's lips opened lightly, "If, I mean, if the Red Flag Society and the Heavenly King Pirates are really one, will the residents of the Giant Shoulder City also support the Heavenly King Pirates?" Champion a bunch of pirates? β
Luciano turned his gaze to her, "I can't answer your question. Because I'm not them, I can't make a choice for them. β
"But if it were just me, I thoughtβI'm afraid I can't face the man who gives me happiness.
It doesn't matter if they're pirates or navy.
I'm grateful.
I will definitely fight to the end for the person who gives me happiness and my happiness! β
Gion looked into Luciano's eyes and felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest.
Hit her... Be out of breath.
Suddenly, Porusalino, who had been silent, bowed suddenly.
"I'm sorry!"
The dignified admiral actually bowed and apologized!
"I'm sorry! Didn't show up when the people needed it! On behalf of the Navy, I would like to apologize to the people of the City of Giant Shoulders! β
Luciano was slightly surprised.
He really didn't expect Porusalino to be such a person.
Whoever looks at it will only think that Poru is a bureaucrat who doesn't care about the life or death of the people.
"You're serious. Your commitment is admirable. β
"Butβ" Polusalino suddenly changed his words again.
"But it's my duty to fight pirates! If there really is a gang of pirates standing behind the Giant Shoulder City, I will definitely do my best to send them to prison! β
"yes. You have your position, I fully understand. Luciano regained his standard smile again.
"But please trust me when people fight to protect the happiness they have obtained. The energy that erupted, even this sea, could not be stopped. β
With a wave of the hand.
"Have a nice trip."
