Chapter 7: Encounters
In the palace, the little king walked around the ground with some impatience.
"Your Majesty, let's sit down and rest!" The captain of the guard on the side said worriedly.
As one of the few people in the escort who did not flee the island, he witnessed first-hand how the little king transformed from an ignorant child to a qualified king, and the hardships of this process filled him with admiration for the little king.
Waving his hand to the captain of the guard to say that there was no need to worry, the little king felt a trace of warmth in his heart, this was one of the few guards who were willing to stay with him, and he had no relatives to sit on the throne thanks to these loyal guards.
"Mr. Hara, I don't know when Mr. Ray will be back." The little king hesitated for a long time before asking.
Glancing at the time, Harada estimated, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, he will be back soon at the speed of thunder." ”
Hearing Hara's answer, the little king nodded and sat down in his chair and waited patiently, but the sorrow on his face could not disappear.
Time passed, and there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
"Is Ray back?" Everyone present had questions in their hearts.
The next moment, a short body emerged from the darkness, shattering everyone's illusions.
The dwarf guard's face was frightened, and his steps staggered, as if he had seen something terrible, and his mouth shouted: "Run!" Run away, everyone! ”
The captain of the guard frowned and jumped in front of the little guard, tugging at the guard by the collar and picking him up, "Calm down, what the hell is going on?" ”
After swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, the short guard barely calmed down, but the horror in his eyes did not retreat, and he stammered: "Yes, there are pirates, yes, they are the steel pirates." ”
A sentence suddenly caused panic among the guards, and they were at a loss, as if the end was coming.
Harda, who didn't know the truth, looked at the little king with inquiring eyes, but he only shook his head at a young age, obviously not understanding why they were so alarmed.
Although the captain of the guard was relatively calm compared to the other guards, he was still a little flustered, and said to the little king in a somewhat hurried voice: "Your Majesty, you better go quickly!" Take Mr. Harada and their weather boat to Visalia. ”
"No, I'm not leaving." The little king said stubbornly.
For the first time, the anxious captain of the guard yelled at the little king: "That's a pirate group with a total bounty of more than 400 million, what can you do if you stay, don't leave quickly!" ”
"This is my country, here is my people, how can I walk away! I will never leave! With the words of the little king, an indescribable fluctuation enveloped the entire palace, and more than a dozen guards who were not strong enough fainted directly.
The captain of the escort had a look of surprise on his face, "What is this?" Overlord color! ”
Seeing the qualifications of the little king, the captain of the guard was even more eager to let him take refuge first, and there was no one in a million who was born to die here.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, you and Mr. Harada must leave immediately." The captain of the guard seemed to have made a decision, and his face flashed with determination.
However, suddenly a rough voice came from outside the door: "Want to go? No one can leave! ”
Time goes back to three minutes ago.
After a long snowy trek, Luke and his party finally arrived in front of the palace after paying the price of severe frostbite from two of their men.
"It's finally here, go, follow me in!" Mickey spat at the ground, and the baring teeth and claws were about to rush in.
Seeing this, Peter hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey! If you kill all the people, where will we go to find the treasure, we will not have time to waste it here. ”
Luke, who was on the side, stealthily withdrew the steps he had almost taken, and nodded in agreement.
Hearing the words of the brainchild, Mickey slammed the mace to the ground, and asked painfully, "What should I do then?" ”
"After a while, let's control everyone first, remember to stay alive, and then threaten the king with the lives of the rest, and kill them all after asking where the treasure is." Peter's eyes were grim, and the smile on his face was like a zombie crawling out of a cemetery.
Seeing Peter's smiling face, the pirates shivered unconsciously, only to feel that the surroundings had become a little colder.
"Speaking of which, don't you have to kill it first! I went in first. Carrying the mace to his shoulder, Mickey strode into the palace, and behind him, the wide-eyed pirates reacted after a while, and followed.
As he walked, Mickey, who was walking in front, heard the words coming from the palace, and couldn't help but laugh and laugh: "Want to go? No one can leave! ”
Back to Harada their field of vision.
A huge foot stepped out of the shadows, followed by a rugged face, and the only remaining eye was full of sadism and murderous intent.
As Mickey enters, pirates swarm in, occupying all the exits in the palace, watching each prey with fierce eyesight.
The captain of the guard suppressed the trembling of his body, plucked up the courage to walk to the front of the palace group, and looked directly at Luke who was standing behind Mickey, "You are the captain of the Steel Pirates, Luke 'Steel Sword'!" What are you doing in this country? You're not welcome here. ”
There was a hint of surprise on Luke's face, he didn't expect that someone would recognize him when he stood behind Mickey, after all, Mickey's face was too eye-catching.
Carrying the steel sword to the captain of the guard, Luke stuck the sword on the floor, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, "You have some guts, if you can persuade your lovely little king to take the initiative to give all the treasure, I can consider letting you live." ”
"But that's not what we just said! Captain. Hearing that Luke was going to let these people go, Mitch said anxiously.
"Shut up, female is female nai, you're the captain I'm the captain?" Glaring at Mickey, Luke scolded.
Peter, who had been hidden in the crowd since entering the door, quietly observed the expressions of everyone opposite, and noticed that in addition to the little king, among the sturdy guards, there were several old men dressed in scholar's robes.
"Who are those? Does it have anything to do with that island in the sky? Vaguely, Peter felt as if things had deviated from his original assumptions.
The captain of the guard didn't listen to Luke's words, but he still pretended to be happy, and turned back to discuss with the little king, wanting to delay some time, hoping to wait for Ray to return, "That navy is so powerful in the news, I guess I can get rid of these people!" I'd love to come back soon! ”
It's just that although the little king has a spirit that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, he is still just a child after all, and he doesn't know how to compromise when facing threats, and says bluntly: "I will not give you the treasure, that is the last money used to rebuild this country!" ”
"Then it's no wonder we." Luke pulled his sword out of the floor and swung it vigorously, "Do it!" ”
