Until the situation is clear, I will not be able to choose between Leonard and Arthur, these two are now the two largest pirate forces in the entire Golden Islands, and if they are on the wrong side, they will bring disaster to us, so no matter how Leonard tempts me now, I will not let go.

Leonard looked a little disappointed when he saw my resolute attitude, but it was not as obvious as it was, he just said to me with regret: "Since you can't make a decision now, then I won't force it, but you will have to protect yourself in a while." ”

After a while, the dinner finally kicked off, and the largest banquet hall in the island council building was filled with the leaders of large and small pirate groups.

Arthur, as the current leader of the Island Council, stood up with a wine glass and said sonorously: "All of you here are the leading figures in our Golden Islands, and it is difficult for everyone to get together so neatly on weekdays, taking the opportunity of Mr. Han's arrival, we will gather together tonight, you must eat and drink well, and have fun." With that, he raised his glass and drank it down, and the rest of the pirates drained their glasses one after another.

Arthur put down his glass and glanced at the people present, he continued: "In the past period of time, a lot of things have happened in our Golden Islands, and there have been many rumors, I hope that after today, everything can return to calm, and I don't want anyone to destroy the hard-won peace of Paradise Island." ”

After Arthur finished speaking, there was a silence below, Arthur's meaning The pirates could understand it, a lot of things did happen in the Golden Islands during this time, Leonard merged the second pirate group on the island, and got the support of three pirate groups in the top ten pirate groups, which has the intention of replacing Arthur, in addition, the death of Brun and even the death of Leonard's father, the hidden story behind it has also been rediscovered, although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but it will always make people talk about it.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and a pirate leader suddenly stood up and said: "What Lord Arthur said makes sense, the current peaceful situation of our Golden Islands is not easy to come by, everyone should unite and make the Golden Islands even greater under the leadership of Lord Arthur, and all people with different intentions should be spurned." ”

Before he could finish his sentence, another pirate leader stood up and said, "You're not saying all that, are you?" We in the Golden Islands do need peace, and we should cherish the situation of peace, but it doesn't have to be under the leadership of Lord Arthur, right? ”

Arthur squinted his eyes and stared at the pirate leader with a complicated expression, but everyone sitting next to him could feel the murderous aura emanating from him.

"Lord Arthur is the elected leader of the Island Council, and the achievements of leading the Golden Islands over the years are obvious to all, is there anyone more suitable to replace Lord Arthur?"

"The achievements of the Golden Isles are not achieved by Lord Arthur alone, everyone has contributed, and the Island Council can elect Lord Arthur as its leader, and it can also elect others to become its leader."

"But if we're already on one path to success, why look for another?"

"Success used to be, and now we all know that piracy is getting harder and harder, and we can't live by being pirates for the rest of our lives, so we need someone to lead us down a new path."

"If you feel like there's no way out of being a pirate, why do you want to stay in the Golden Isles? You can leave! ”

"The Golden Isles don't belong to anyone, it belongs to everyone, and I have the right to stay here even if I don't become a pirate!"

"Humph! I think you've been bribed to openly confront Lord Arthur, right? ”

"We haven't been bought by anyone, we want a future that we can see!"

The two groups of people with different views became more and more excited, and seeing that they were about to enter the stage of action, Arthur coughed twice, knocked on the table vigorously and said: "Don't make noise, it's not a meeting now, I don't want anyone to spoil the atmosphere of the dinner." ”

As soon as he scolded him so sharply, the banquet hall immediately fell silent, and Arthur sighed deeply and said: "I was very disappointed with your performance just now, I originally thought that everyone was united, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big disagreement within the house." I just said that I may not be the only one who can lead you in the Golden Islands, and that's right! Of course it's not just me! It's just that if anyone other than me thinks that they can sit in the position of the head of the council, then shouldn't they at least take the initiative to stand up and let everyone see and understand? ”

After Arthur finished speaking, the banquet hall fell silent again, Lin Ruyi and I sat at the main table, looking at the crowd at the scene, feeling very embarrassed, the power struggle of these pirates is not simple at all.

After a long time, Leonard said slowly: "I can't figure it out, why are there disunity when someone puts forward some different opinions?" Could it be that we can only have one voice in the Golden Islands in the future? ”

Arthur was not surprised by Leonard's sudden appearance, he stared at Leonard coldly and asked, "Can I understand that you are the one who wants to sit on the seat of the head of the council?" ”

Leonard didn't answer directly, but still said unhurriedly: "Everyone in the Golden Islands wants to be able to lead everyone to cut the waves, not only you, but not just me." Besides, whether or not you can sit in the position of the head of the council is not something that anyone can think about casually, it needs to be voted by the island council, right? ”

"You didn't answer my question."

"I think I've made my answer clear."

Leonard and Arthur refused to give in to each other, forced each other, and both wanted to overwhelm each other in momentum, but both of them were obviously fully prepared, and neither could make anyone back down easily.

"Alright, alright, two adults, let's not have a meeting now, let's focus on the food and wine, right?" After a long silence again, a pirate leader who was a little older and usually loved to be kind to mud stood up and persuaded him.

"Hahaha", Arthur suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes were no longer sharp, he said: "That's right, I just said it myself, tonight is not a meeting, everyone should eat and drink good food, and talk about what is going on when the island council is there." After saying that, he looked at Leonard meaningfully and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Leonard also smiled and spread his hands and said: "I also think it's better to talk about it when the meeting is officially held, we still have guests here today, and our performance just now is not hospitality, so I will give Mr. Han a glass on behalf of everyone." As he spoke, Leonard poured a glass of wine and held it up to me, and I raised my glass and drank it down.

For the next half hour, neither Leonard nor Arthur were making any moths, the food and wine were all on the table, a large room of pirate leaders eating, drinking, and drinking, and the atmosphere was lively and harmonious, as if the previous saber-rattling scene had not happened, and even Leonard and Arthur took the initiative to touch glasses a few times.

Sister Hua whispered to us while eating: "Fortunately, those two people endured it tonight, otherwise they wouldn't even have dinner upset." ”

"Hold back?" I looked at Leonard with a red face, and then at Arthur with a smile on his face, and seemed to be all right, and everything seemed to be calm, but my heart was very uneasy, and I unconsciously whispered to myself: "I think the show is still to come!"
