423 Rot with white doves
Hearing Robin's words, the old man was visibly more distressed.
He held his head and slapped it twice, and sighed dejectedly: "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't know what the former royal family did...... As citizens, we fulfill our obligation to pay the heavenly gold on time...... But the royal family's treasury is always rumored to be attacked by pirates...... The king could not bear to collect heavenly gold from the people again, so he had to borrow money from the Great Chamber of Commerce in the name of the royal family...... It seems that this is the case, and again and again, the king can no longer support it, so he has to intensify the collection of heavenly gold from the people...... And then there will always be pirates who will loot the royal treasury, over and over again, over and over again......"
["How can there always be such a thing? "There are no pirates looting the royal treasury at all, it's just a lie made up by the king to monopolize the heavenly gold, right?" "The king is lying to us, the heavenly gold is safe and sound, it is he who has embezzled it and asked us to hand it over again" "The king colluded with the Chamber of Commerce and squeezed our property......]
The things and voices in this country two or three years ago seem to appear in front of the eyes and ears of the old man again.
"In short, in the end, everything collapsed, the people could no longer pay the heavenly gold, and the king could not pay back the money borrowed from the Great Chamber of Commerce," the old man muttered, "The Kingdom of Igor has been kicked out of the World Government member states, and without the protection of the navy, the pirates have invaded this country with impunity...... Everyone is dead, they all run away. But I'm old and don't want to leave this land, I just hope that before I die, I don't let pirates ...... again."
"Pirates," Lynch stuffed the huge roasted beast legs into his mouth, squirming and chewing while still making room to speak, "On the shore in the other direction, there was a pirate ship coming ashore just now. ”
He pointed in one direction.
"What?" The old man woke up, followed Lynch's finger and said incredulously, "That direction is almost several kilometers away from the coast, how can you see it!" ”
Robin reminded, "If he says yes, then there is." You'd better trust him. ”
“…… Pig, it's time to go! The old man took a deep look at Lynch and Robin, pulled the eagle that was fighting with Little Green for meat, turned over and rode on the eagle's back, and with a shout, the eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading in the direction of the coast that Lynch was pointing to.
Gnawing on the flesh and bones, Rose carefully peeked at the pirate named Gioruno, but the female pirate next to him suddenly looked over, propped her chin, and asked, "You said that your hometown and the people of your hometown are sick, what is that?" ”
Rose lowered her head and slowly chewed on the brittle bones, "a kind of rot ......"
"Rot?" Lynch touched his head and wondered, "Is this a real disease?" ”
Rose didn't speak.
"......" Robin looked at the girl who bowed her head, and suddenly asked again, "Did you decide to go to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom after you met a doctor who was expelled from the Magnetic Drum Kingdom?" ”
Rose was struck by lightning, and her eyes turned to Robin, "Why are you...... How can you ......"
"You know that at this time, it is impossible to learn medical skills when you go to the Drum Kingdom, and there is no doctor who can teach you." Robin said slowly, "You're not going to study medicine. Knowing that the two of us were vicious pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, they still took the initiative to approach us...... Before, on our ship, you saw the pirate ship approaching alone, but you didn't think about hiding...... You didn't think that medicine could save your hometown from the beginning, you just wanted to die with the idea of 'trying to save your sick hometown'. ”
"Nope! Wrong! Rose bit her lip and said, "That's not the ......."
"I was a little curious from the beginning," Lynch said suddenly.
Rose looked up and saw him chewing on thick animal bones with "crunch" and "crunch" in his mouth, and seemed to ask casually: "Kureha, that old divine doctor who has lived for more than a hundred years, is a well-known witch in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, you have been there for a year and a half, it is impossible not to know her." ”
Rose swallowed and was short of breath. And this Giorno grinned with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth and asked, "How many times has she shook in front of you, and why are you ...... Is it to turn a blind eye to her? I asked Kureha that you never tried to learn medicine from her. ”
Robin looked at the sky and said, "It's unfortunate to run around with strength to save the country, and finally die alone and miserably overseas, but that's the only way to be a good princess, right?" ”
"My country has lost hope, I can only look at everyone, watch my father rot in pain......" the girl said in a trembling voice, her ruddy eyes flashing with tears, "How can you understand this feeling of losing everything......"
"......" Robin pulled out a complicated smile and didn't speak.
"No more, let's go get supplies." Lynch patted his ass and stood up, "If you don't go, I'm afraid the old man will hang up......"
………………
"Wow, old man, is your pet an eagle or a pig?!"
"Hahaha......"
The Iron Boots Pirates laughed, and in front of them, the old man was knocked aside, and his giant eagle took the form of a wild boar, slamming into the pirates again and again, but he became scarred and bloodied under the fire of the muskets...... The giant eagle hissed a pig groan, and the captain of the Iron Boots Pirates, Iron Boots, raised the Iron Boots, laughed and kicked the pigs on the head.
Blood splattered, and the pig's head fell to the ground.
"I didn't expect there to be such a fun beast in this place where birds don't."
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates looked up and laughed, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar man standing in a tree not far away.
"It's him......" The old man lying on the ground could barely get up.
"Captain, that's ......" the pirates also noticed, "Chobana. Giorno!! ”
"How did the JOJO Pirates get ......"
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates had bloodshot eyes and a numb scalp, but he gritted his teeth and roared, "What are you afraid of! Everyone is a pirate, it's a big deal to fight with them!! ”
"Captain!"
But just when his subordinates burst into tears, surging with blood, and mustered up courage, suddenly, the man he saw out of the corner of his eye disappeared.
Behind the Iron Boots Pirates, near the direction of their pirate ship, there was the voice of Giorno: "The corpse will stop talking, it will look very strange." ”
Lynch slowly walked onto the Iron Boots Pirate Ship, and the group of pirates behind him burst into blood all over their bodies......
Rose, who hurriedly followed up with the fruit of the tube, rushed here and saw such a scene.
Dozens of pirates fell to the ground in the blood mist, and Giorno and Xu Lun calmly walked onto the ships of those pirates, and it was only then that Rose reacted, and the "supplies" that Giorno said before originally referred to the supplies on the pirate ship......
………………
In the center of the huge circle, sat a cold-faced young man wearing a black top hat and suspenders.
On the right shoulder of the cold-faced young man, a white dove stood.
On the neck of the white dove, he wears a small black tie, and the style of painting is consistent with that of a cold-faced boy in a black top hat and suspenders.
Around the circle, there were dozens of people in cloaks.
Everyone shook hands in front of them, bowed their heads and muttered a prayer: "Pigeon evil god mercy, give us a little money......"
"......" The cold-faced young man and the white dove on his shoulders were speechless.
