The lord of the city, Deku, has finally sent someone to summon Donk. The person who came was a male* elf riding a Soul Eater Bird and carrying a Soul Eater Bird. Donk mounted another Soul Eater and flew with the man to the main city.

The Soul Eater is a little inappropriate as a mount, as its body is so skinny that it can only be ridden with a saddle strapped. When Donk's legs touch the Soul Eater's abdomen slightly, he will feel a biting chill that will reach deep into his soul.

The Soul Eater is also a celestial beast that can be recruited, and their combat power is somewhat stronger than that of the Eagle Man, but not as good as the Dragon Eagle. They are capable of unleashing ghostfire attacks and can also communicate through their souls.

Donk's points are even more useful, and I don't want to recruit them for the time being.

Flying to the main city, two Soul Eaters landed on the balcony. The one carrying the Tonk turned his head and stared at the Tonk with ghostly eyes, as if to say, "It's time for you to come down."

Tonk rolled over and dismounted, following the elf into the city.

It was already the upper floor of the castle, and they climbed two floors to a hall. The elf in charge of the message stood still in front of the door and made a respectful gesture to invite in.

Donk looked out into the hall, and in the vast space, there was a lonely person, a king, to be precise.

The lord of the city, Deku, was still dressed in white, he was tall and slender, and he stood there like a white mast that could withstand the wind and rain. He turned his back to the tink, and in the light of the arched window, the outline appeared vague and dreamy.

Deku looked up at the statue opposite, which was the statue of Roger, the pirate king of the generation.

"Come here." Deku's voice has a hoarse texture and an oppressive force that cannot be violated.

When Donk saw this back, he naturally recalled the magnificent battle that took place in the sky over the pirate city a few days ago. Although this back is not moving at all, Tang Ke understands in his heart that the other party is a top powerhouse who can easily pinch himself to death. With respect and a hint of trembling, he walked over, stood in front of Deku, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "See the lord of the city." ”

Deku turned around and lowered his eyes to look at Donk, "Get up, let me take a good look at you." ”

Tang Ke stood up as he said and met the city lord's gaze closely. He saw a force in this gaze, and only a strong person who was extremely confident in himself could have such a powerful gaze.

"There are very few Oriental pirates who can gain a foothold in the Sea of Dreams, and you are the first." Deku smiled, but his smile didn't make people feel close.

"Thanks to the help of friends from all over the world, I was able to get up to today, otherwise I would have fed the sharks a long time ago."

"Your earliest record of plundering was more than three years ago. Now you have tens of thousands of men, two territories, and four magic ships. The pace of development is incredible, and it would not have been possible without a special reason. Deku's eyes froze, "I called you here to ask why." ”

Donk doesn't look like a moot on the surface, but he's actually having a hard time. The reason why he has been able to develop so rapidly is all thanks to the help of the system, without which he would still be a small pirate at best.

But the system can't say it.

"The reason why the Evil Dragon Pirate Regiment was able to fly high was because I had excellent talent and quickly became a sixth-order swordsman; second, because of good luck, he won several wars he participated in; Three, as I said earlier, thanks to the help of friends from all over the world. ”

"Do you have any treasure on you?" Deku didn't believe Donk's rhetoric.

"Yes, yes, but for me it's a treasure, and for you, it's a scrap that you can throw away."

Deku chuckled and shook his head, "If you don't want to tell the truth, forget it, don't act like I'm going to rob you of your treasure." It's not that I boast, the treasures of the world, it's enough for me to have this, and other people's treasures, no matter how good they are, I can't look down on them. He lifted the pirate code in his hand, the black book looked as good as new, even though it had been baptized for thousands of years.

"It's fitting that the city lord has a pirate code, which is like a tiger with wings." Donk complimented lightly.

"Boy, I like your respectful attitude." Deku glared at Donk, "In front of me, as long as it is a pirate, whether it is a tiger or a lion, whether it is a demon or a dragon, you have to be polite to me, Kandal two days ago is an example. ”

What an arrogant statement.

Tang Ke smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to defeat such a strong man and let such a strong man bow his head in front of him. He raised his eyes to look at the statue of Roger opposite, only by becoming this person can he be proud of the world and smile at the changes in the world!

Deku glanced at the Dementor Knife hanging from Donk's waist and changed the subject, "I've heard about this, and the kid Kelowna thanked you for passing on the evidence of his sin. As the Lord of the Pirate City, I also identify with your status as a Pirate Admiral. If, hundreds of years ago, anyone was promoted to a new admiral, the pirate city would have given them a fief. But I don't have any idle fiefs in my hands now, and if you have the ability to take back the little pirate city, it's yours. ”

"Thank you for the generous kindness of the city lord." Donk didn't complain about not being able to conquer the Little Pirate City.

Deku made a blank check, and also felt a little unbearable on his face, and sighed: "It's a pity that this is a tense and extraordinary time, and I really can't part with it." Otherwise, for your sake of being respectful to me, I could have taken a trip and taken the little pirate city for you. ”

The tsunami set off by the Comanso Empire has affected many forces, and the pirate city is certainly not in trouble. Although the spearhead of the five empires this time is not aimed at the pirate city, the five empires are fighting on the sea and will definitely annex many territories belonging to the pirates, which will naturally infringe on the interests of the pirate city.

This tsunami is also related to the fate of Donk and the dragon pirate group.

"What's been going on in the Pirate City lately?" Donk asked boldly.

"It's okay to tell you, but don't talk about it outside, lest you leak the pirate city's plans." Deku said lightly.

"I will be tight-lipped and will never divulge half a word!"

Deku nodded, and continued, "Just two weeks ago, I reached an agreement with Fu Lin and decided to join forces. ”

Tang Ke's eyes were shocked, Fu Lin is the real name of Goldbeard, it turns out that the Goldenbeard Pirate Group has joined forces with Pirate City!

Although the pirate city rarely restrains its forces, it is more like a symbol, but if the pirate city is serious, it can also gather a terrifying force! Together, these two largest local pirate forces are enough to fight a great empire!

"But the two of us are still a little lacking in strength when we join forces, so Fu Lin went to the Black Sea and the Heavenly Fury Sea again, and wanted to ask the two pirate governors there to help." Deku continued.

Another big news!

Each of the five seas has a pirate governor, and each governor has the same strength and power as Goldbeard!

If Goldbeard brings in pirate governors from other seas, his strength will be greatly increased, enough to shake the empire!

At that time, Goldbeard will definitely pick the Commanso Empire to strike first, because it was the Komanso Empire that captured the small pirate city.

"Are you going to join forces to attack the Comanso Empire?" Donk's throat was a little dry, he foresaw a catastrophe-like war, the world was probably going to be reshuffled, the old forces would fall, and the new forces would rise!

This world war is a bit early for the fledgling Donk and the Dragon Pirates!

"It's not just about Comanso, there's a deeper factor in this battle." Deku said mysteriously.

"Deeper factors...... Is it religious? Donk then came up with the answer.

"That's right. Greenland and Dragon's Tooth are Cults of the Holy Cross. And Comanso, Kachia, and Xiyao believe in the Asnoist religion. The Holy Cross Cult is now usurping the holy land of the Asnood Sect, and I have heard that the Asno Sect intends to take back the Holy Land and fight a vigorous holy war. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and this world only needs one faith, and these two beliefs have been fighting for many years, and in my opinion, the two religions are going to fight each other. The five empires contain each other, and the biggest contradiction is that the beliefs are different, once the beliefs are unified, the five empires will be completely united regardless of the last few remaining countries! Deku's eyes flickered, "Can you imagine the outcome of the five empires once they are united?" ”

"In that case, the pirates won't have a good time."

"That's right! So Fu Lin and I must take action, or the pirate city will be in a precarious situation. Deku raised the black book in his hand, "The five empires also have artifact-level treasures in their hands, and a pirate code alone is not enough to protect the pirate city." ”

Donk looked at the pirate code, this thing is simply an atomic bomb, with the power to deter a country! There is a pirate code, and when the five empires attack the pirate city, they must come to battle with the same powerful artifact, otherwise they will be sent to death!

"The first governor, the second emperor, those two popes are also getting stronger and stronger, I'm afraid they have also reached the ninth order." Deku showed a burning look in his eyes, and his smile also had a kind of arrogance that only a king can have, "Just two popes are difficult enough, but behind the two popes, there are stronger and more terrifying beings to support them!" ”

"Are you referring to God?" It was only at the mention of the word that Donk wavered in his goal.

"That's right, it's the new gods! Gods of the New Age! Deku opened his arms as if to welcome the tsunami, "We pirates used to be blessed by God, but God abandoned us in Roger's generation. We are God's outcast children, but the five empires and the two major churches have gods behind us. If we God-forsaken children want to gain a foothold, we will have to fight against God-blessed enemies, even directly to the gods! ”

"God!" Donk had a leisurely fantasy, a god with his head above the sky and his feet on the ground, standing on the sea, a group of pirates who did not know whether to live or die drove the boat, shouting the slogan of killing, and resolutely sailed to the feet of the god!

"Haha, it's useless to tell you these things, you and your pirate group are still too weak to make any waves in this war. You just have to honestly cling to the big forces and try to survive. For the pirate city, as long as the pirate industry can prosper, it is enough, and you are not expected to work hard for the pirate city. Deku smiled and waved his hand, "I called you here today just to meet you as a rookie, and now that I've seen you, let's go." ”

"Yes." Tang Ke wanted to inquire with the city lord about the necromancer and the tactician, but when he saw that Deku had issued an eviction order, he swallowed all these small questions back and obediently turned to leave.

During the time he walked from the main city to the outside, Donk's heart was very uneasy.

…… The city lord also saw it, and the things that should have been bought were also bought, and Donk had no nostalgia for the pirate city anymore and was ready to set sail.

Two days ago, Donk also sent someone to spread the news of the sale of the Tree of Life to Eunice, so that the thieves who coveted the Tree of Life would turn their attention to the chick of Unity, so as not to trouble the dragon pirates.

Selling the Tree of Life to Eunice was a triple win, one was to get a lot of money, and the other was to make Eunice a friend, and save Donk a lot of trouble.

When Donk needs the Tree of Life, he can redeem it from the system, and it can be kept secret from the outside world.

He planned to plant the Tree of Life on Dragon's Lair Island, and organize a small group of elven elites of the pirate group, so that they could be rapidly promoted and become a reliable combat force as soon as possible.

The members of the Dragon Pirates saluted, left the Gentle Harbor Hotel, and hurried to the docks.

Tungk whistled and led the way, listening to the newly recruited group of tacticians behind him chatting about it, and found it quite interesting.

"Donk, you stop me!" A beastly roar sounded suddenly.

Hearing this voice, Tang Ke turned his head with a bitter face and looked at the figure standing high on the roof: "Captain Kandal, what is the matter with me?" ”

Kandar had been released from his cell in the main city, his head and body still wrapped in bandages, and the white cloth was stained with red blood. His stiff expression suddenly collapsed, and he said in a tone of request that didn't match his identity, "Can you talk to me?" ”

Donk and Kandal looked at each other, and there was no hostility in that gaze, but a plea. But even so, he was very hesitant, what if Kandal went crazy again?

Kandal saw Donk's worries and promised, "Don't worry, this is a pirate city, and I don't dare to do anything to you." I'm just here to ask about something. ”

"Okay then." Don reluctantly agreed, he didn't want to create a formidable enemy like the Freedom Blade Pirates.

The two found a tavern and sat down, and Kandal drove away all the other customers in the restaurant with a word.

Holding his glass, Kandal hesitated for a moment before asking, "What is your relationship with Eunice?" ”

"Would you believe me if I told you that Miss Eunice and I were just ordinary friends?" Donk asked rhetorically.

"I don't believe it."

Donk showed an embarrassed expression, didn't this force him to lie? In desperation, based on experience, he thought of a plan and lied: "That's right, I'm also pursuing Miss Eunice." ”

"What?" Kandal turned his head, grinning in excitement, terrifying.

"But she turned me down." Donk raised his hand and motioned for Kandal to calm down.

As soon as he heard that Donk was rejected, Kandal's attitude suddenly made a 18-speed turn, and he asked in a daze, "You were also rejected?" ”

Tang Ke feigned frustration and sighed, "Isn't it. ”

"Brother, we are really connected by the same fate!" Kandal grabbed Donk's shoulders and took him into his arms.

Donk hurriedly pushed Kandal away, and said hurriedly: "Don't do this, the impact is not good......"

Kandal let go of his hand and asked, "How many times have you been rejected by Miss Eunice?" I was rejected exactly thirteen times. ”

Tang Ke smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, how can there be such a thing? But only in this way can the conflict be resolved with Kandal.

"I'm not as infatuated as you, I've only been rejected twice."

"But as far as I can see, your relationship with Eunice is much better than my relationship with Eunice. That day, Eunice asked you to button it for her. I just saw that scene and couldn't help but make a move. "Kandal's vinegar is back up.

Tang Ke sighed secretly, why did this grand master not pursue it so much, and let the good pirate group not take care of it, and put all his thoughts on women.

"I talked to her about trading the Tree of Life at that time, and she got the treasure of the Tree of Life, on a whim, so her attitude towards me was a little better."

Kandal frowned and said, "Since you like Eunice, why don't you just give her the Tree of Life?" ”

"This ......," Donk didn't want to admit that he was stingy, and found another reason, "Miss Eunice is very strong, and she doesn't want to accept my favor in vain, and she will give me 300,000 gold coins anyway." ”

"That's really her way of doing things." Kandal nodded, showing an adoring expression, "It's because of her surname that I like her." ”

Donk didn't have any feelings for Eunice, the woman was pretty, but her surname was angular and lacked the tenderness of his daughter's family, which was not his dish.

Kandal turned his head and asked, "What do you have to do to gain Miss Eunice's favor?" ”

"It's a bit hard." Donk glanced around Kandal's ugly wolf-like face and chuckled dryly.

"And how did you go after Miss Eunice?" Kandal asked nonchalantly.

Donk scratched his chin, it seemed that Kandal would not give up if he didn't say the reason today.

"Why don't you try a push? You're capable of it anyway. ”

"Push?" Kandal's face turned red all of a sudden, and his body temperature rose by more than ten degrees, like a stove, "Do you mean to use hard?" ”

"I'm just giving advice, don't blame me if something happens." Donk hurriedly abused his responsibilities, God knows what terrible things would happen if he pushed Eunice into a hurry.

Kandal thought for a while, calmed down, shook his head and said, "You can't push it forcibly!" That would defile my pure love! ”

"Who told you that love is pure?"

"Not in short! I want a more sunny approach! Kandal grabbed Donk's shoulders and shook him vigorously.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you with some tricks." Shaken to the ground, Donk pushed Kandal's big paw away. After he came to his senses, he pressed Kandal's back, leaned down and whispered, "These are all secret techniques, they are easy not to be passed on, you should remember carefully, follow the method I taught you to chase Eunice, although it may not be successful, but at least it will not be as bad as it is now, Eunice now hates you a little, you must hurry up and find a way." ”

Kandal nodded again and again, patted Donk on the back and said, "If you teach me this hand, we will be friends from now on, and if you are in trouble, you can come to me, and I will definitely help you." ”

"Well, in that case, I will no longer pursue Miss Eunice, lest I hurt our brother's peace."

"That's not necessary, it's one thing."

"I'm not just giving up for you, I've been rejected several times and I'm already disheartened. I'm not as affectionate as you are. ”

"In that case, then you should give up. But I won't give up, in my life, Miss Eunice won't marry! Kandal said in high spirits.

"I admire your persistence, so I'll teach you all the secret skills I know, I wish you success!" Donk went on to give a lecture on the pickle girl guide, which was all his known experience, although not necessarily customary, but at least it was the first thing to say, and scared Kandal into a daze.

In this way, for this extremely deceptive reason, the Evil Dragon Pirates and the Freedom Blade Pirates became friends.
