Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Gaffer Prepares! Sound engineer prepares! The director gives a close-up!
After walking far away from the casino rain banquet, Saul seemed relieved to see Robin beside him.
"Are you nervous?" Thor asked her curiously.
"You just don't understand how powerful Klockdahl is." Robin said.
"Of course I understand, those with the ability of natural rustling fruits are good at absorbing water from the enemy's body, and can easily set off sandstorms, right?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of hot-blooded boy who will rashly challenge before I know the details of the enemy!"
Saul's two rhetorical questions dispelled Robin's concerns, which she had really thought before.
After quietly glancing at Robin, Saul pulled out the phone bug.
"Moses Moses, is it a junior sister?"
"Uh-huh~~ Senior brother......"
"I said big pervert! I'm so sleepy, why hasn't the enemy you mentioned come yet! ”
Guina and Nami had been fighting hard to guard against unknown enemies, so they hadn't slept in the middle of the night.
Hearing the words 'big pervert' coming from the phone bug, Robin looked at Thor with some surprise, and then walked away some distance without a trace.
Thor, who didn't notice that he had been labeled by Robin in his heart, was still explaining what had happened to the two girls, and it took a long time to explain the matter clearly.
After getting the instructions to be able to sleep, the two women even forgot to buckle the phone bug, and fell directly on the bed~ It was a big sleep.
"Moses Moses ~~~ Is anyone else there?"
Knowing that the two girls might have fallen asleep, Saul was helpless to buckle the phone bug, but he hadn't had time to say anything about Klockdahl, what a headache~~~
Rented the fastest desert lizard car, and the two of them sat in the lizard car under the night sky, the scene was beautiful, but Thor was not in a good mood.
Because......
He still can't forget the sympathetic little eyes that the owner of the car dealership looked at him when Robin paid the rent, as if he had an illusion of sympathy.
But Thor didn't need that kind of sympathetic look!!
……
Early the next morning, the two men in the desert lizard car finally arrived in Albana, the capital of the kingdom, at dawn.
Because of the urgency of time, it was necessary to preemptively strike before Klockdahl realized that the situation was wrong, so the two of them went directly to the palace without even eating breakfast to prepare to meet the king.
"I'm the captain of the Orange Pirates, Swordhausor, and I have something to ask to see the king!" Thor directly reported his identity.
"What! Pirate! ”
Hearing that the person who came turned out to be a pirate, the guards outside the gate instantly became alert, and the long axes in their hands were aimed at the two of them.
"What the hell are you pirates trying to do! This is the royal palace! ”
It's no wonder they're so vigilant, after all, every city in Alabastan has been attacked by pirates in a few months, so pirates are now a symbol of fear and hatred in the kingdom.
The reason why Thor insisted on revealing his identity was because he had absolute confidence that he would be able to meet the king, even if it was anything! A! Manner!
"Although I am a pirate, I can stand here and talk to you calmly only because of courtesy, you should know that you can't resist a pirate who can be rewarded by the world government with 60 million Baileys."
"So, now go and tell your king that I have something to discuss."
Thor just said plainly, but the guards really felt the inexplicable momentum of the person in front of them, and they didn't know if it was because of the pressure caused to them by the sentence '60 million Bailey'.
The guards looked at their companions, and finally under pressure, the captain gave one of the guards a look and motioned for him to come in and report.
The rest of the guards were still staring nervously at Thor and, of course, Robin beside him.
Feeling no sense of the guards' supervision, the bored Thor quietly asked Robin, "Is there a shadow in the palace that you have planted?" ”
Robin looked at Thor with some surprise, and then said slowly: "Yes!" ”
"Hmmm! That's good! Thor nodded.
With this information confirmed, Thor was nine points sure about how to convince the king next.
After waiting for a long time, maybe there was a heated discussion in the palace about whether or not to let the pirates in, or maybe it was just that the king didn't get up so early, but in short, it was about half an hour before the guard rushed back.
"Captain, His Majesty the King said he would allow him to let go."
What the king said worked, and even if the dozen or so guards didn't want the pirates to enter the palace, they still couldn't do anything.
Retracting the long axe, the captain reluctantly said, "Come with me." ”
Thor and Robin glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed a little helplessness, because they just wanted to buy some breakfast to fill their stomachs, if they knew that they would have to wait half an hour, it was better to buy it earlier.
Following the captain of the guards, Saul and Robin walked down the avenue of the palace, and it was the first time he had seen such a magnificent building, at least it was much more real than the palace he had seen on TV before.
Walking into the main hall, he found that in addition to the king sitting on the throne, there were many guards standing on both sides of the main hall, and Thor dared to swear that he would never believe that the number of guards in normal times was also so large.
Glancing around at the guards, Thor said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty the King is very worried about us~~"
"This is all just as a precaution, and I beg your forgiveness if you offend you."
Although he said 'I beg your pardon,' the king's tone was actually very majestic.
Saul didn't expect that the king who always exposes his comic attributes in the anime also has a majestic side.
But think about it, the king, how can he rule the country by comics, in the anime he just exaggerates his side, and in reality, it is naturally not always funny.
"No, no, it's normal for His Majesty to be cautious."
Thor shrugged and said that he didn't care, but in the eyes of Captain Akalem and the two lieutenants Bell and Kaja, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, they felt that the pirate in front of him was very casual and rude.
As for Princess Vivi in the corner next to the king, she was just curious about the handsome pirate, and Thor didn't match her image of a rude pirate.
In fact, Thor also saw the impressive Princess Vivi in the anime, but he didn't care, because he didn't want to cross paths with each other during his journey to the kingdom of Alabastan.
He didn't even think that he originally came to Alabastan just to kidnap Robin on the ship, and that the acquisition of the Baroque Work Club was just incidental, and defeating Klockdahl was even more incidental!
But now that things have progressed to the point where defeating Klockdahl is the key to the matter, and even saving the kingdom of Alabastan, which has nothing to do with him and is shrouded in conspiracy, Thor is troubled!!
But there is no way, things have developed like this, and Thor can only find a way to control the direction of progress in his favor.
