Chapter 43 The language is amazing
Jing Tian did not stay long on the Straw Hats' ship, and soon left the Merry under the pestilence-like gaze of the Straw Hats, and began to search for the 'Rape Flower City' along the coast.
Jing Tian's visit this time was just a temporary idea, although he really wanted to arrest Ace, but after a little thought, he knew that it was not appropriate.
Wanting to catch Ace is nothing more than the idea of 'burning the fruit', but Jing Tian doesn't know how to peel the fruit out of Ace's body now, and it's useless to catch it.
Besides, if Ace has an accident in advance, I'm afraid that the plot will be completely messed up in the future, and there will be a lot of trouble for Jing Tian, and many things will be out of his control.
In this case, I just let Ace go for the time being, and wait until I get the inheritance method of the 'Devil Fruit', and then it is not too late to consider grabbing some capable people to study.
Without Ace's relationship, Jing Tian still has to take a look at the Straw Hats, one is to see the cute thing Chopper, and the other is to see if he can find a breakthrough from Princess Weiwei and add some chips for the next transaction.
It's a pity that Princess Weiwei and Jing Tian are not familiar with each other and reject the deal issued by Jing Tian.
But Jing Tian's efforts were not in vain, because before he left the Merry, Princess Vivi wrote a handwritten letter asking Jing Tian to help deliver it to her father, which could be regarded as bringing Jing Tian and the king closer and facilitating communication between the two sides.
Now, after more than half an hour of unhurried and unhurried journey, Jing Tian, who was carrying Weiwei's letter, finally did not get lost and returned to his ship without making waves.
After informing the nearby navy, it didn't take long for Smoker to rush over in a hurry, and the first thing he asked was, "What was the result?" Did you succeed in catching 'Portcas D. Ace'? ”
Jing Tian shook his head regretfully: "I disappointed you, and in the end I was run away by the other party." ”
"What's going on?" Smoker frowned: "Could it be that there are other members of the 'Whitebeard Pirates' on this island?" ”
"That's not clear." Jing Tian smiled slightly bitterly: "The reason why I didn't catch him is because I got lost." ”
Smoker was stunned for a long time, and then he covered his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "You are so sick...... I'm expecting something from you......"
Jing Tian shrugged his shoulders......
Smoker quickly left, after all, there had been a man-made fire in the city just now, and the riot was not so easy to quell.
In the evening, Smoker came up again with Dusty, poured himself a glass of wine without seeing anything, and then asked Jing Tian straight to the point, "What are your plans next?" ”
"I'm going to the capital, 'Alabana.'" Jing Tian replied.
"Oh? When to leave? After drinking, Smoker took another deep puff on his cigar and asked.
"Tomorrow."
"Alright, let's go together." Smoker filled his glass with two cigars and said to Jing Tian, "I'm going to leave for the 'Rainland' tomorrow, and I have a hunch that the Straw Hats may appear in that city, just in time for us to sail inland along the canal." ”
"Oh? That's not bad. Jing Tian smiled and raised his glass, touched it with Smoker and said: "The inland is the Tamsui River, I'm worried that I can't go in, then tomorrow I will trouble your warship to tow it, otherwise it will be a little troublesome to control the 'Golden Adventure' with only the three of us." ”
"I'm only responsible for bringing your ship in, and I don't care when I come out." Smoker glanced up at Jing Tian and said in a flat tone.
"Don't worry, it'll be easy to do after that, and there will be a lot of people to help us." Jing Tian chuckled in response.
"Are you really going to contact the rebels?" Smoker still couldn't guess what Jing Tian was going to do, and combined with the current situation in the country, Smoker felt that Jing Tian had a better chance of 'building a bridge' with the rebel army, so he was a little worried.
"Don't mess around, I said I was going to the capital, and now the rebels haven't gone there yet, right?" Jing Tian knew that Smoker was for his good, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's be straight, I want to go to the king of this country." ”
"Looking for the king?" Smoker raised his glass for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do with the king?" ”
"You don't know." Jing Tian said perfunctorily: "You just want me to borrow some literature to read." ”
Smoker took a puff of his cigar, and then didn't ask again, and began to change the topic and talk about the day's events, and popularized the information of the pirates 'Four Emperors' to Jing Tian, after the day's events, Smoker thought that Jing Tian was not very clear about the situation in the new world.
Jing Tian simply pretended to listen carefully, after all, this is also Smoker's intention.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Smoker said goodbye to Jing Tian, greeted Dusty, who was very reluctant to chat with Nami, and left the 'Golden Adventure' with Nami's eyes and a sad face, and returned to their temporary station.
The next day, Keitian got up early in the morning under Nami's vigorous shaking, quickly washed and eaten, and then the two entered the city and began to purchase supplies, and when they returned to the ship, Smoker's warship was already waiting nearby.
Moo and Hachi were left at the mouth of the canal, and then the Golden Adventure was pulled by the warship with ropes, breaking through the current of the canal and heading inland at high speed.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the two ships removed the ropes involved and headed for the east and west banks of the canal, with Smoker leading his team to the west coast and landing on the 'Rainland', while the 'Golden Adventure' went to the east coast and landed on the 'Alabastan' in Chengdu - Alabana.
"Is it okay for us to leave the ship here?" After stepping on the shore, Nami asked a little uneasily.
"Wait a minute." Jing Tian smiled mysteriously, and then let go of the 'Seeing and Hearing Domineering' and stepped into the canal.
Soon, the corners of Jing Tian's mouth curled, and he found the target he was looking for.
In Nami's confusion, Jing Tian quickly raised his hand and pressed his palm towards the river.
With a roar, a dark golden dragon-shaped energy instantly smashed into the river, and the next moment, the monstrous waves soared into the sky.
"What are you doing?" Nami was even more puzzled.
"Patience, soon."
As soon as the words fell, many small heads suddenly appeared under the water on the shore, and they all stared at Jing Tian's body.
"Fur seals?" Nami was stunned.
"No, kung fu manatees to be exact." Jing Tian curled the corners of his mouth and raised his hand to wave at the manatees.
Whoa......
The sound of breaking water sounded, and the kung fu manatees in the river jumped up from under the water and flipped in the air and landed on the shore.
"Do what?" Nami took a few steps back, avoiding the splashes from the manatees.
"Let them look after the boat for us." Jing Tian said with a smile, and as he spoke, he put on a fighting start.
"Oh hiss!"
A manatee came out of the crowd, and when he came to Jing Tian, he flicked his wings to the sides of his body and bowed his head to Jing Tian.
Jing Tian smiled and bowed slightly.
"Oh hiss!" Manatee's face was full of 'seriousness', and after Jing Tian returned the salute, he took on a fighting stance.
"Hey, what's going on...... Nami twitched the corners of her mouth, looking at the kung fu manatees with a ridiculous look on her face.
"I'll explain to you later." Jing Tian said quickly, then stretched out his left hand to block the punch that attacked the manatee, and then his right hand raised the middle finger joint and lightly smashed it on the manatee's head.
"Trumpet!" The kung fu manatee let out a cry of pain, fell to the ground and rolled with his head in his hands, and couldn't get up again.
"Again." With a relaxed smile on his face, Jing Tian beckoned to the kung fu manatees whose eyes had become fiery again.
"Oh hiss!"
Two manatees came out of the crowd and bowed in both directions.
Jing Tian returned the salute, and then parried and counterattacked again, and after the same move, there were two more manatees on the ground who hugged their heads and screamed.
"Let's do it together." Jing Tian laughed.
"Oh shh
Dozens of manatees roared at the same time, and then they didn't refuse, and immediately pounced on Jing Tian together.
Flashing and moving, parrying and counterattacking, for a minute or so, there was no longer a standing manatee in front of Jing Tian, and all kung fu manatees were the same action - rolling on the ground with their heads in their hands.
After a while, all the manatees were relieved from the pain, got up again one after another, and the whole team bowed to Jing Tian together, and roared with a 'serious' face: "Roar! ”
"Roar?" Nami said with a smile, "Didn't you just 'oh hiss'?" ”
"They're calling the master." Keitama chuckled and explained to Nami.
"Master? Roar? Nami was stunned, turned her head to look at the dozens of manatees with solemn faces, and immediately 'poofed' for fun, clutching her stomach and shrugging her shoulders.
Jing Tian didn't take care of Nami for the time being, but turned sideways and opened the starting hand of the fight.
All the kung fu manatees' eyes lit up, and they immediately turned around following Jing Tian's movements, lined up in a neat queue, and learned Jing Tian's posture and opened the starting hand pose.
The corners of Jing Tian's mouth curled, and he immediately made a move out of thin air, and began to practice a set of fighting moves one by one.
The kung fu manatees followed Jing Tian's movements one by one, and at the same time, they had to roar in unison while each action was played.
Jing Tian repeated the 'Xingyi Bear Fist' three times, then gathered his momentum and stood up, turning his head to look at the kung fu manatees.
The kung fu manatee hit it a fourth time, and then it all brushed and regained momentum, and then turned around and bowed to Jing Tian at the same time, shouting loudly: "Roar! ”
"This is my ship." Jing Tian raised his hand and pointed at the 'Golden Adventure', deliberately showing a serious look and said, "You have to take care of it and don't let anyone get on board, okay?" ”
"Roar!" The manatees brushed their hands into fists, their faces full of 'solemnity'.
"Over to you!" Jing Tian also looked solemn.
"Roar!" The manatees bowed again.
"Let's go." Jing Tian turned around, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he winked at Nami with his left eye: "Now you don't have to worry about the ship." ”
"You're really ......" Nami didn't know what to say, shook her head and chuckled, and followed Jing Tian into the desert......
After leaving the coast, Jing Tian told Nami about the situation of the 'Kung Fu Manatee', and Nami couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, it is really a big world, and I can't imagine that there is such a special creature in the country of Alabastan.
"Alright." Jing Tian interrupted Nami's exclamation: "I heard Smoker say that it will be a four-hour journey from here to 'Alabana', shall we walk over slowly, or will I speed up with you on my back?" ”
"Let's speed up." Nami said as she walked behind Jing Tian, "The sun is too poisonous, I don't want to get a tan." ”
"Let's go, then." Jing Tian leaned over slightly, and reached out to help Nami after she got up.
"Show me the way."
After saying that, Jing Tian's legs bent slightly, and then his body jumped up from the ground, and stepped on the air in the air, using the moon steps to fly towards the depths of the desert......
After about an hour, Keizam went straight under Nami's guidance, and finally vaguely saw the city that appeared in front of him.
"We're here." With a notification, Jing Tian accelerated again, until a human figure faintly appeared in front of him, and he landed from the sky.
"How are you going to meet the king of this country?" Nami got off Jing Tian's back, stretched a little after asking, and sighed, "It's really convenient to be able to fly, how long will it take me to use this trick?" ”
"Let it be the same as the moon walks." Jing Tian thought for a while and said: "After a while, your cultivation is enough, I will teach you a real flying skill, and there is no problem in meeting the king, I have a handwritten letter from Princess Weiwei here." ”
"A handwritten letter? How did it come about? And what's going on with that flying skill? Nami asked a barrage of questions.
"The flying skill is called 'Sky Dance', and it is a move that uses aura, and I will teach you in detail later." Jing Tian said: "As for the handwritten letter, it is like this......"
While walking towards the city not far ahead, Jing Tian explained the origin of the letter.
"So you didn't lose it yesterday? Did you lie to the smoking man? After Nami asked, she was puzzled again, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you catch that one called Ace?" Is it because of the straw hats? ”
"I can't explain it in a few words, so I'll talk to you in detail later." Jing Tian's chin moved forward a little: "Let's go to the city." ”
"Hmm." Nami stopped asking questions and followed Keizen through the tall stone gate and into the city.
Alabastan is a monarchy, so it has a corresponding royal palace, and the palace built on the hill is very obvious, even if Jing Tian is a road addict, he will not get lost.
It didn't take long for the two to reach the foot of the hill where the palace was located, and were stopped by two heavily armed soldiers at the bottom of the palace steps.
"I would like to ask your king, I have here a handwritten letter from Princess Vivi, and I need to hand it over to him." Jing Tian said to a chief guard.
"Princess Vivi?" The chief guard was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly, "Do you have news of Princess Weiwei?" ”
"Yes." Jing Tian bowed.
The chief of the guard carefully examined Jing Tian and Nami, and estimated that the two of them were not threatening, so he nodded heavily and said, "Please wait a minute, I will report to you." ”
"I'm sorry for you." Jing Tian said politely.
The chief guard nodded kindly, instructed his subordinates to take good care of Jing Tian and the two, and then turned around and rushed up the stairs quickly.
Without letting Jing Tian and Nameido wait, in less than five minutes, two figures leaped down from the royal city on the top of the mountain, and the stone staircase of hundreds of steps only jumped four times, and the two figures fell in front of Jing Tian with the wind.
"Sir, do you have any news of our princess Vivi?" A man wearing a white turban and a pair of eyelids with 'dark red arc paint' under his eyelids asked urgently.
"Yes." Jing Tian took out a slight handwritten letter from his pocket and showed the handwriting on the envelope.
"Sure enough, it's Princess Vivi's handwriting!" Another muscular man with Egyptian looks whispered.
"It's rude, my name is Bell, and I'm one of the Protectors." The man with oil paint on his face bowed slightly to Jing Tian: "Thank you very much Sir for bringing back the news of Princess Weiwei!" ”
"My name is Gaka, one of the Protectors." The man with the face of an Egyptian bowed in the same way: "Thank you! ”
"Jing Ears, adventurer, this is my companion Nami, a navigator." Jing Tian bowed slightly, accepted the other party's thanks, and asked softly after returning the etiquette introduction, "Then can I ask to see your king?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Jing, please come with us, His Majesty the King is also waiting." Gaka hurriedly responded, leaning sideways and making an inviting gesture.
Jing Tian bowed slightly, and walked up the stairs with Nami under the guidance of two national protectors.
Ascending the stone staircase with a total height of more than 100 meters, Keizam and Nami officially entered the interior of the palace, walked through the stone path in the middle of the meadow, and finally entered a castle-like building.
"Both, did you bring the news of my daughter?"
As soon as he entered the palace, a man dressed in a robe of high-end fabric quickly greeted him, and asked eagerly with a face full of eagerness.
"This is our Majesty the King." Gaka, one of the protectors, hurriedly turned around and introduced Jing Tian, and at the same time quietly separated Jing Tian from the king in case of accidents.
Jing Tian gestured to King Kobra, and then handed over the letter in his hand: "Please take a look." ”
"Thank you!" King Kobra tried to reach out, but Gaka took the letter and handed it over.
King Kobra reacted, took the letter after bowing his head to Gaka, politely confessed to Jing Tian, and quickly opened the envelope and read it.
After a while, King Kobra breathed a deep sigh of relief, put down his book and muttered, "It's great, it's good that Vivi is safe." ”
"Neglected two guests." Kobra quickly sorted out his emotions and said to Jing Tian kindly: "Thank you for bringing Weiwei's letter here, I know everything about the situation, Weiwei also said that you have something to discuss with me, you can just say it." ”
"It's ...... here," Jing Tian turned his head to look around.
"Oh, please come with me." King Kobra suddenly turned sideways to invite.
"I'm in trouble." Keiten thanked him in a friendly manner, and then pulled Nami, who was very quiet, and followed the king and the two protectors to a nearby room.
"You two may be seated." Entering the room, Kobra stretched out his hand and motioned for Keitama and Nami to take a seat, then said, "Something can be said now." ”
"That's fine, but please forgive me for being rude." Jing Tian took a preventive shot in advance.
"Please feel free to say that we will do our best to help you if we can do it." Kobra said with a nonchalant hand.
"I haven't read Princess Vivi's letter, but I think it also explains the 'sand crocodile' in it, right?" Jing Tian spoke slowly, and after seeing King Kobra nodding, he continued, "I want to make a deal with your country. ”
"Please." King Kobra straightens the face.
"I can help you with the affairs of the sand crocodile and the rebels." Jing Tian said: "This is counted as two transactions, and I will use this to exchange two remunerations with your country. ”
"I wonder what Mr. wants in exchange?" King Kobra asked very calmly.
"I know something about your country." Jing Tian turned his head and glanced at the two Protector Warriors, and then continued: "As a veteran member of the World Government, and as one of the twelve royal families that founded the World Government, your country wants to have the inheritance technology of the 'Devil Fruit', right?" ”
Everyone in the room, including Nami, was stunned.
"This ...... Truth be told, we do have the kind of inheritance you described. King Kobra hesitated for a moment, then admitted it calmly.
"Good." Jing Tian looked happy and said to King Kobra: "The first reward is this technique, and your country can use this reward in exchange for one of my attacks, whether it is to dispose of the mastermind behind the 'Sand Crocodile' or to suppress the rebels, you can do both." ”
Seeing that King Kobra was a little hesitant, Jing Tian hurriedly added: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, after I get the technology, I will never leak it, and those who know about it are limited to everyone present." ”
"Good!" After a moment's hesitation, King Kobra nodded boldly in agreement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity." Jing Tian was overjoyed and thanked the king with a smile on his face.
"Tell me the second pay, please." King Kobra's enthusiasm cooled slightly, and although he was grateful to Jing Tian for bringing Vivi's letter back, this 'clear deal' model did not make him feel any more good.
"Historical text." Jing Tian suddenly said something that surprised Kobra.
"What!" Cobra was so surprised that he couldn't help but get up from his chair and stare at Jing Tian with a shocked expression.
"Don't get excited." Jing Tian didn't make any more nervous movements, smiled and shook his head at the two equally stunned Protector Warriors, and then looked at King Kobra with a stern face and said, "Can you listen to me first?" ”
"Yes......" Kobra hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath.
"I know what the historical text of your guardianship is." Jing Tian spoke, not giving Kobra a chance to be stunned again, and immediately continued, "But don't worry, I'm not interested in that thing. ”
Seeing Kobra's suspicious expression, Jing Tian couldn't help but smile lightly: "I know the location of the Heavenly King and the Sea King, how can I care about the weakest Hades King?" ”
"What!" Kobra exclaimed again...... (To be continued.) )
