"Nine miles!?"

Hearing Marko's words, the little princess in front of her suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and blurted out in surprise, "You...... Are you also pirates of the Kaido Pirates!? ”

As soon as she heard this, the samurai and ninjas in the wooden house who were responsible for protecting her immediately drew their weapons and rushed up to protect her, and the people outside the house reacted in the same way, and they all rushed in one by one, looking at Ian and the three of them as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Protect Her Highness Flounder Hime!!" They shouted like this.

Well!? How does this react? Could it be ......

While Ian was thoughtful, Marco also hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are not members of the Hundred Beast Pirates!" ”

"The Beast Pirates? What is that......" Princess Nai was stunned for a moment.

Ian slapped his head, he understood it, and asked, "This ...... Princess Naia, you must have heard from someone else about the Kaido Pirates?! ”

This little princess called the Hundred Beast Pirates Kaido Pirates, but when she heard the name of Kaido's real pirates, she was at a loss, which can only show that she heard it from others, and it is estimated that she didn't hear it so really.

Sure enough, Nai nodded and said, "Yes, I overheard it from my father......"

So, Ian had no choice but to explain to her, saying, "The Kaido Pirates are the Hundred Beast Pirates, but we are not members of his Pirates!" Rather, it is his enemy! ”

Ian had already noticed that when the little princess said the words Kaido Pirates just now, the samurai and ninjas here were all nervous, which showed that they should not have a good impression of Kaido and the Beast Pirates.

As for Princess Naiah's father, Nishiueno's daimyo Hitaki is on which side, it is still unknown, but Ian feels that at least it will not be on Kaido's side.

Ian guessed correctly, after hearing that the three people were not members of the Hundred Beast Pirates, but enemies of the Hundred Beast Pirates, the samurai inside and outside the house all showed relieved expressions on their faces, and those ninjas were similar, although they couldn't see their expressions clearly with their faces covered, they could feel that their hostility was much less.

Bonnie interjected with some curiosity at this time: "We just asked Jiuli, why did you react so much?" ”

Nai Ah turned her head to look at Bonnie, looking at her fashionable and sexy dress, her little face suddenly blushed, but she still secretly looked at Bonnie's clothes, her eyes were full of novelty, but she still replied to the three of them: "Because no one would want to go to Jiuli now, right?" It's been razed to the ruins by the Beast Pirates......"

As soon as he heard this, Marco suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "So, is the war between your general and the Guangyue family really over!?" ”

Although knowing the news of Ace's capture, the Whitebeard Pirates basically guessed this situation, but anyway, when Marco came here, he still had a trace of luck expectation, and now he suddenly heard that Jiuli was razed to ruins, which was naturally a little difficult to accept.

It's a bit strange that a group of foreign pirates would care about the war between the Wano Country Shogun and a daimyō, not to mention Princess Naia, and the samurai in the room couldn't help but look at Ian and the three of them curiously.

"Yes, it's over!" Naia nodded and said, "Just the day before yesterday, I had already received a letter from my father, and he told me that the general's army had retreated from Jiuli, and only the people of the Hundred Beast Pirates were still there...... Since you are the enemies of the Hundred Beast Pirates, are you here to help the Guangyue family fight? I heard from my father that this time there are many strange people in the Guangyue family who help them resist......"

Strange people, probably referring to Estenhu and Izang, right?

This little princess of Naia may be the identity of a princess, so she seems a little precocious, but no matter what, she is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old little Lori, and she is still a little childish, Ian can hear it, although she knows some things, but she doesn't know much, it is estimated that her father told her to listen, so she only knows that there are such people, but she does not know the details.

Ian thought about it and felt that it might be a good thing to be able to meet such a little princess here, so he could ask for a little news from her mouth first.

So Ian asked, "Princess Naia, your father is also one of the daimyo of Wano Country?" ”

"yes!" Naiah nodded.

"Then this time you fought with the general of the country and the Guangyue family, didn't your father participate in the war? He's one of the daimyos, so it stands to reason that he should be helping the general, right? Ian asked.

"Nope!" Princess Naia shook her head and said, "In fact, not only my father, but also the other two daimyo did not participate in this crusade......

"Oh?" Ian raised his eyebrows, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Can you tell us more about it?" ”

Looking at Ian's casual appearance, a samurai next to him couldn't help but shout: "Rude! Dare to ...... in front of Her Royal Highness Flounder Hime"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Nai Ah waving his hand and saying, "It's okay!" ”

After speaking, she said to Ian curiously: "I have actually seen some outsiders, it is said that people from other seas will only pay less attention to etiquette in front of familiar 'friends' and 'companions', do you also regard me as a friend?" ”

Ian was also happy when she heard this, this little girl felt quite cute, so she nodded and said, "Haha, of course it's good to have a little princess as a friend!" Let me introduce myself, my name is Ian, and now I am a pirate, my pirate group is called the Dragon Hunter Pirates, and this pineapple-headed one, his name is Marco, he is the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and this ragged young lady is called Bonnie, and she is also the captain of the pirates! ”

"What do you mean by rags!?" Bonnie was not happy to hear this, and pulled her shirt and said, "This is called fashion!" You don't know how to appreciate! ”

"Fashion?" The little princess Nai looked at Bonnie's clothes curiously, her little face blushed again, of course she couldn't understand the word fashion, she just felt that Bonnie's clothes were so ashamed......

And Ian noticed that the people in Wano Country here didn't have much reaction to his self-introduction, to say that they didn't know about the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the newly rising Four Emperor Pirates, but even the old Whitebeard Pirates didn't know, which was a bit depressing......

Marco probably feels the same way, on the sea of the New World, he is a celebrity, but when he arrives here, he is not as eye-catching as Bonnie's dress......

The little princess Naia seemed quite happy after hearing that Ian was willing to make friends with her, but the samurai beside her were a little annoyed, in their opinion, how noble is the status of Her Royal Highness Plaice, how can she casually make friends with pirates of unknown origin? So staring at Ian's eyes, they all looked indignant.

From here, in fact, you can already see a little bit of the situation in Wano Country, for the younger generation like Princess Naia, they are willing to accept new things and have curiosity about the outside world, while some people who are too deeply affected by class concepts are very uncomfortable with this, just like these samurai present.

For these people, Ian naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after successfully pulling in a little relationship with Naia, Ian opened his mouth and asked: "Naia, you said that there are several daimyo in Wano Country who are also unwilling to participate in the war, what's going on?" ”

"Actually, I also listened to my father!" Naia's small face also looked much more serious at this time, and said: "Because even in the country of Wano, the Guangyue family is also a famous family, and they have been loyal ministers for generations, although in the generation of His Royal Highness Mita, Lord Mitsuki, who is a daimyo, secretly violated the ban and went to sea, and after coming back, he has been seeking to open the country of Wano, which has led to the accusation, but in the eyes of his father, the Guangyue family is still guilty of not death!" ”

"It's not just my father who thinks so, but the other two daimyos also think so, they all feel that they only need to punish the Guangyue family a little, and there is no need to make a big move!" Naia struggled to recall her father's words, and said, "But I don't know why, the general insisted on making a move against the Guangyue family, and my father couldn't dissuade him, so in the end he could only adopt a neutral attitude, and was unwilling to send troops to respond to the general's call!" ”

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but glance at Marko, and they both saw deep regret in each other's eyes.

Princess Naia is still young, and she may not be able to detect the smell of this, in fact, in Ian's opinion, these daimyos may have good intentions to adopt a neutral attitude, but they don't know that they are harming the Guangyue family by doing so!

The reason is very simple, why did the general of Wano Country insist on doing something to the Guangyue family? Isn't it because of the founding policies and ideas that it is possible to hurt his general's dominance?

He already sensed the crisis that the Guangyue family's thinking might bring!

Under such circumstances, the general of Kazuno Province asked the other daimyo to send troops together, and if all the other daimyo responded to his call, it might make the shogun realize that his position was still very secure, and maybe it might allow the Mitsuki family to escape.

This is also related to the political situation of Wano Country, where the seven daimyo under the shogun are the princes, but the shogun does not control the army of the whole country, but the lord daimyo can have their own army......

And it was because of the neutrality of these daimyo that the generals of Wano Country found that his orders were no longer working! In this way, there must be an action to make an example of the chickens and monkeys!

Several daimyo did not send troops, and the generals of Wano Country may have insufficient troops, so in order to achieve the best deterrent effect, they did not hesitate to borrow the power of the Hundred Beast Pirates to completely suppress the Guangyue family!

Good intentions do bad things, that's what I'm talking about......

However, Ian and the others also learned a little bit from Naiah's story, that is, Naiah's father, Nishiueno Daimyo Hitaki, should have good intentions towards the Guangyue family.

This kind of goodwill may be based on the popularity of the Guangyue family, or it may be related to the disgust of the general with the help of the power of the Hundred Beasts Kaido, and several other daimyo may have similar thoughts, in short, under this political system, it is impossible to be monolithic.

This may be able to bring some convenience to Ian's next rescue operation......

Nai Ah then recounted at this time: "Although there is no father's participation, but the general still crusaded against the Guangyue family, I heard my father say that in the process of resisting, the Guangyue family has seen a lot of strange people who know how to witchcraft, and the general's army has also suffered a lot of casualties, but because of Kaido's help, the Guangyue family finally failed, Mitsuki Mita-sama was executed, and his retainers fled, and now the territory of the Guangyue family is Jiuli, all occupied by the Hundred Beast Pirates, and my father is still very angry about it......"

"What about you?" Bonnie asked curiously, "Your Royal Highness, why are you here?" And not with your father? ”

Hearing this question, Naiah's little face was a little depressed, and he pouted and said unhappily: "After the general's crusade against the Guangyue family began, my father sent me here, this is the territory of our Hakusakaki family, and the ninjas and samurai here are all retainers of the Hakusakaki family......"

Shiraki should be the surname of the Naia family, and his father's full name should be Shiraki Hitoki or something......

"He's worried that his neutral attitude might lead to a crusade from the general, right?" Ian said: "In order to avoid implicating you, that's why I let you come here first?" In that case, your father is also for your own good......"

"Of course I do!" Nai sighed, "But I'm bored here...... Although they treated me with respect, I couldn't even find anyone to talk to......"

No wonder she would let Ian and the three of them in so unsuspectingly, it seems that she is really suffocated here......

Hearing her words, a samurai next to him bowed with a serious face and said, "Your Highness Plaice, please rest assured, the crusade has ended, Nishiueno should have no problem, and as soon as the lord's order arrives, we will escort Your Highness back!" ”

At this time, Ian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The general of your Wano country has already crusaded against a daimyo, and it is estimated that it is impossible to attack other daimyo again, you will have to go back sooner or later, so it is better to do this, we will escort you back, by the way, if we can, we want to ask your father about something." ”

"What's the matter?" Nai Ah asked curiously.

"It's about those strange people who help the Guangyue family fight!" Ian said: "I want to know, where are those people being held now, are they locked up in the country of Wano Jiuli, or have they been escorted to other places, this kind of news, maybe only your father knows, right?" ”

Ian knew that since Jiuli was now occupied by the Hundred Beast Pirates, Ace and Fuji Tiger might not be locked up there, because with the identities of the two of them, if they really fell into the hands of Kaido, they would probably be killed, and now Ace's life paper is normal, which means that they are fine, and naturally it is impossible for them to fall into the hands of the Hundred Beast Pirates.

They were just locked up, but where exactly they were locked up, this needs to be inquired, such news, ordinary civilians will definitely not know, only the identity of the daimyo princes, it is possible to inquire.

Hawkins's divination about his trip, since it is said that it is very smooth, then it is not clear that this time to meet the little princess Naia is also one of the reasons, she and her father may bring great help to themselves, and they just need to make a choice according to their own thoughts.

And hearing that Ian offered to escort her back in advance, Nai's beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Okay, good!" ”

"No, you can't!" The samurai who spoke before was in a hurry, and stood up and said anxiously, "Your Highness Plaice! How can you trust these pirates of unknown origin!? Even if you want to go back, you have to be escorted back by us! ”

"But you still have to wait for your father's orders!" Nai Ah also reacted, her identity did not allow her to do too willful behavior, so she said helplessly: "When will my father's order arrive?" If it was a month from now, wouldn't I have to wait a month? ”

"No! How can this be! The samurai took the lead, and the whole group fell to their knees, pleading with Naiah, saying, "Your Highness! If you insist on leaving, it will be a dereliction of duty, and we will have to apologize with death! ”

Naia could only look at Ian helplessly......

Seeing that these samurai said this, Ian had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then there is no way, Princess Naia, can you tell us how to find your father?" ”

However, before Nai Ah could speak, the samurai jumped to his feet and said, "No! Where is the lord, how can I tell you these pirates of unknown origin!? ”

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! You wouldn't say anything else than those two words? Ian was also a little angry: "I don't understand how to work around!?" ”

"Unless we're dead!" The samurai held the hilt of his sword in his hand and looked at Ian with a determined look in his eyes.

With these brainless samurai, it was impossible to communicate, and Ian almost wanted to ignore Thirty-Seven Twenty-One, faint these guys, and then take Nai back with him.

With Ian's current strength, it is easy to do this kind of thing, and the ninjas and samurai present combined are not necessarily his opponents alone, but he also understands that in this way, things may be messed up, these guys are already very wary of the three of them outsiders, and if they forcibly take Naia away at that time, the three of them will be regarded as criminals who kidnap Princess Flounder if they forcibly take it away!

Don't get it when Naiah's father didn't see it, but he was wanted by others, then it would be troublesome, these people don't recognize you Dragon Hunter Pirates Whitebeard Pirates, Ian and Marko's identities can't play a role here.

"Well, let's do it!" Ian thought for a while, said a compromise solution, and said, "Look, you princess flounder is tired of staying here, why don't you follow along, and all of us escort her back together?" Since she is your esteemed princess, shouldn't you retainers also think about her feelings? ”

"This ......," the samurai hesitated.

"Say it again!" Ian struck while the iron was hot and said: "Maybe your lord also misses Her Royal Highness the princess, and the order to recall her may be on the way, send her back earlier, your lord may be very happy." ”

"Alright then!" The warrior looked at Naiah's expectant eyes, gritted his teeth and knelt down towards Naiah, saying, "Your Highness Plaice, we can send you back, but please be sure to promise and let us be with you!" ”

Nai Ah straightened up, stretched out his hand to help the warrior, and said happily, "Great, it's best to have you with you!" ”

In fact, the reason why this samurai agreed was also because this ninja village didn't seem to be secret enough, and even Ian and the three foreign pirates could come here, so it was hard to guarantee that there would be other people who would find out here, so it was better to let the princess go back......

As for Ian, as long as they can go to Nishiueno, meet Nai's father, and be able to find out the news, anyway, they really don't have any ill will towards this little princess, so it doesn't matter how they go back......

So, after waiting for a while, Ian and the others were finally able to follow Naia on their journey.

But for some reason, Ian always felt tired of dealing with these people in Wano Country......
