226 "Tournament to Recruit Relatives"
Basically, on the island where each World Government member country is located, there will be at least one naval branch base.
The reason why I say at least is because a member country of a world government may not have only one island under its jurisdiction. Some powerful kingdoms may encompass an archipelago and sea. The navy will either set up a few more branch bases to increase the number of protective forces, or simply establish a powerful branch base on the island where the royal city is located, and send general-level officers to sit in the garrison to protect the other islands.
Old Buck is a sailor at the base of the naval branch on the island. Logistics Marine.
His training tasks are relatively small, while other comrades-in-arms are still practicing shooting in the base, he has already finished disposing of the domestic garbage in the base, leaving Wangcheng, going to Dongzhen to buy flour, Xicun to buy fish and shrimp, Nancheng to buy vegetables, and Beigang to buy ...... Hey?
Old Buck was in front of the street vendors in Beigang, skillfully bargaining with the stall owner, you made a move, I was very happy, but I caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye.
This little girl is so pretty...... Oh no, Old Buck rubbed his eyes, screaming at the fishy water on his fingers, and the tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Old Buck, what's wrong with you?" The stall owner said helplessly, "Okay, okay, it's 4000 Bailey, okay?" Why are you still crying! ”
"I didn't ......" Old Buck slowed down, his eyes were still red, and he looked at the intersection of people just now, but the shadow was gone. I just saw a ...... person."
The stall owner said, "There are people everywhere here. ”
"It's a rare beauty!" Old Buck emphasized, "It doesn't seem to be the people of the town......"
"Where, where?" The stall owner stuck out his head and looked out.
"It's long gone!" Old Buck gloated.
The stall owner said angrily: "4300 Bailey! No bargaining. ”
"You just said 4,000 Bailey!" Old Buck cursed, still glancing in that direction, and muttered to himself, "I always feel ...... I've seen that guy several times......"
"Old Buck, you don't want to say that other people's big beauties are tailing you, right?" The stall owner laughed, he knew very well the daily procurement route of this logistics sailor, and by the time he arrived in their town, it was already the penultimate stop.
Old Buck's face turned red and he said embarrassedly: "Maybe it's a mistake!" ”
After some more words, he successfully bargained for 3,900 Bailey, and Old Buck carried the bags of fresh fruit to the purchasing cart, and before leaving, he glanced at it suspiciously, shook his head and left.
On the back of his cart, one ear disintegrated into petals, pieces scattered.
“……”
The flower clone who entered the bookstore in the town alone, and the hand that selected the book paused.
"Once Upon a Time in the Lost Kingdom of Bepang...... Little girl, I can't see it, you're interested in such a book? The bookstore owner said with a smile.
The flower clone smiled faintly and didn't explain.
The doppelganger also has to divide part of the concentration of the ontology when she speaks, and if the concentration on her side is too much, there may be flaws on the other side of the clone. If you don't have to, of course, you can save it.
When choosing a book, the flower clone only simply flipped through it, and did not review it carefully.
Anyway, Robin's reading tastes are very mixed, and she doesn't really care much about the quality of the book, as long as she can read it.
Robin is a historian not because she is most interested in history. She had no friends when she was a child, and the only group that was friendly to her was the historians on O'Hara Island. If those scholars were studying music and biology, then Robin would have been a musician or a biologist in order to get closer to them when he was a child.
Seeing a few stacks of newspapers on the shelves next to the counter, the flower clone took one casually.
Although there are hard-working newspaper sellers such as Newsbirds, not all newspapers are delivered by Newsbirds.
The news bird is the exclusive dispatcher of the "World Economic News" newspaper, and the newspapers of other newspapers, such as the "Nanhai Weekly" and "Nanhai Entertainment" in the hands of the flower clone, are not delivered. These are the ships of the various newspaper offices, which go from house to house, to each island, and distribute them among the various bookstores. Of course, a small newspaper with a strong level may also have the financial resources to use video phone bugs to transmit images over long distances with branches in various places, and then print them at the same time......
"The number of visitors to Magnife Island is at a new high...... It seems that the announcement of Her Royal Highness Princess Olsen of the Kingdom of Mitsuzi that she will recruit her husband through a fighting tournament has attracted the attention of everyone in the South China Seas...... I wonder who will be able to pick the most beautiful gem of the kingdom of Mitsuz in a month's time? …… Journalist / Elizabeth"
"According to people familiar with the matter, it is not the final champion who will necessarily be favored by Princess Olsen...... Insiders said that Princess Olsen may be more interested in Devil Fruit abilities...... In the coming month, the sea of the South China Sea may no longer be calm! …… Reporter/Marley"
"The garrison said it would deploy additional personnel on Magnife Island to resolutely crack down on any pirates and other criminals...... Reporter/Kate"
Princess...... Hua doppelganger casually glanced at some entertainment news, paid the bill, and put the purchased books in his bag.
"What's wrong?" Lynch noticed that Robin was distracted from time to time, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really difficult to control five clones at the same time!" ”
At this time, Robin, the main body, followed Lynch and Hancock and their group, strolling around the port town where the pirate ship docked.
"Someone noticed me. My doppelganger. ”
Robin shook his head, took out a pair of sunglasses he bought casually, put them on, and whispered near Lynch, "That person seems to be a logistics staff member of the naval base on this island, and when I was shopping in several towns on the island, my flower clone in those towns was noticed by him continuously......"
"Oh my God, look at you little unlucky bastard!" Lynch said, "I passed by all the towns on the island when I was idle, and I happened to run into your doppelganger again...... What are the odds? ”
Robin gave him a helpless look. Lynch said: "It's nothing! He gestured to Robin's face.
In more than three years, Robin has grown up a lot, and his face has naturally changed.
It's not just Nicole in itself. Robin's true appearance, even the disguised empty strip Xu Lun's appearance, she is also adjusting little by little compared to her true appearance during this time...... It's as if her other face is growing over time. Even if the flower clone is noticed, it will not be linked to Robin's true identity, and even her Xu Lun's identity may not be exposed...... After all, "Empty Xu Lun" looks like a young girl now, not the ten-year-old girl on the bounty order three or four years ago.
"Besides, during this time, there should be quite a lot of Devil Fruit abilities that have emerged in the South China Sea."
Lynch didn't know where to pull out a copy of the South Sea Entertainment newspaper.
Robin's flower clone had already read the newspaper, and of course he knew what was written on it, and blinked: "But I'm a girl......"
"Can't girls participate in martial arts competitions and win princesses?"
Lynch laughed and looked thoughtfully at the name of the island in the newspaper. Magnife Island ...... If he's not mistaken, it's the old man of Haradas who once mentioned the island where the magnetic fruit ability is located, right?
