Chapter 216: Diplomat
The Ringing Marina in the town of Alghero is a veritable large marina, it even has its own port square with a capacity of up to 3,000 people. Compared with a year ago, the current Ringing Pier is undoubtedly much more magnificent, and even the bollards have been replaced with new metal piles.
At this moment, the dock was crowded with people, and the noise of excitement was endless. There were 'coral' gangs in the crowd, tourists passing by, locals in the town of Alghero, and even the navy next door. At the innermost side of the dock, Old Man Wendru, dressed in his most formal suit and tie, was waiting for the return of the leader with Cransner and other cadres.
Without exception, all the people present looked at the behemoth that covered the sky and the sun in the distant sea.
This is the car of Victor 'Chain', the largest warship on the sea, the Ark of Passione!
Colonel Crohn, the commander of the Navy's No. 91 Branch Base stationed in Alghero Town, was now mixing in the crowd with a complicated expression, looking at the huge battleship on the sea in the distance. He is a witness to the scene of the 'murder chain' Victor, and has been following Victor's every move through newspapers and internal sources in the Navy.
From a mafia thug to the world-famous king Qiwuhai, Victor's experience in the past year can even be written as an exaggerated and grotesque book. Thinking back to the time when he first came to Alghero a year ago, Crohn's evaluation of Victor was limited to "an interesting and talented young man...... It's unpredictable.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
The crowd erupted in shouts and cheers, and Colonel Crohn, who was thinking wildly, hurriedly looked up into the distance, only to see a blue brig speeding towards the harbor docks.
Not long after, as the ship came to anchor, the group stepped off the sampan and stepped onto the Ringing Pier under the leadership of Victor.
Victor in the lead, dressed in a black velvet coat, wears a black double-breasted suit and striped shirt, and his leather shoes are shiny. He was followed by Perona, Hao Xue, Robin, Wu Hongji, Luo and others. After walking a few steps, Old Man Wendrew came up with his gang and cadres.
The old man Wendru, who had always been calm and calm, looked excited at the moment, and the excitement of Cransner and the others beside him was also overflowing. The crowd bowed to Victor and said in a loud voice:
"Welcome back! FATHER! ”
Victor smiled gently and nodded slightly: "I've worked hard for you during my absence, go back to the headquarters." ”
"Yes!"
……
The 'Coral' headquarters in the town of Alghero closed its doors today to welcome back its boss.
Standing in front of the castle window with his hands in his pockets and looking out, Victor sighed with emotion: "I haven't been back for a year, and the town of Alghero has changed so much......
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Old Man Wendru, and said in a gentle tone: "Mr. Wendru, thank you for your hard work." ”
The old man Wendru, who was meticulously combed with white hair, bowed slightly: "This is what I should do, boss, you have won the award." ”
Victor knew the old man's temperament, smiled and said no more, picked up a stack of reports on the table next to him and looked at it: "The Xihai headquarters has absorbed a lot of talents in the past year...... Daz Bonis? Isn't he working as a bounty hunter? ”
Suddenly seeing a familiar name, Victor was a little strange. This Daz Bonis was famous before he left the West Sea, a principled and powerful bounty hunter with a strong personal style, who loved to hunt powerful pirates with blood on his hands.
In the plot of the comics, he is also the number one cadre and the most trusted subordinate of the 'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl, who is also one of the king's seven martial seas, and can even resist the flying slash of 'Hawkeye' Mihawk with his superhuman quick slash fruit. I didn't expect him to join 'Coral' during this time period.
Can you count yourself as having warped the corner of Lao Sha in advance? It doesn't matter, he's not the only one who has been poached by himself anyway.
"Is Daz Bonis at headquarters? I want to meet him. ”
"He's here, I'm going to call him here."
Seeing that Victor nodded, the old man picked up his trench coat from the hanger and pushed the door open.
It wasn't long before there was another knock on the door, and with permission, Daz Bonis pushed the door and entered.
He was rarely dressed very formally, wearing a black suit and white shirt with a blue tie. As soon as he entered the door, he stood in front of Victor within two steps, with a serious face: "Boss, you look for me." ”
Victor put down the report sheet in his hand and smiled slightly: "It's nothing special, I just want to meet you." After all, your 'killer' name is thunderous in the West Sea, and I've always wanted to meet you. ”
Being praised by his idol made Daz Bonis a little unable to hold back that cool face, and just as he was thinking about whether to go up and ask for an autograph or apply to be the boss's direct escort first, a discordant voice came from the window at the other end.
"I wonder if I can also have the pleasure of getting acquainted with the two of you?"
Daz Bonis immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and Victor smiled and was not surprised.
I saw a figure sitting on the edge of the window, looking very leisurely. The man was a tall, thin dark-haired man wearing a black top hat covering half of his face, a patterned shirt, a black suit vest and trousers, and a dark red staff of civilization in his hand.
At this time, the room where several people were located was about 5 stories above the ground, and it was not known how this person came up.
“…… Where did you kid come from? ”
Daz Bonis rolled up his cuffs with a gloomy face, and the edge of his arm instantly turned into a sharp blade that shimmered with cold light. He is a superhuman capable of slashing fruits, capable of turning his entire body into an incredibly sharp blade of steel!
"Ahhh
"Mr. Bonis, don't be impatient." Victor sat on the couch and raised his hand to stop Daz Bonis, who was about to attack the intruder, and then turned to look at the intruder who had jumped from the window edge to the floor of the house, and said in a leisurely tone:
"This gentleman should be the chief sheriff of the Kingdom of Sayibram, 'Devil Sheriff' Lafayette. I don't know what Sheriff Lafayette is doing when he comes to me? ”
Daz Bonis knew who this guy was as soon as he heard the name. The well-known sheriff of the Kingdom of Sayibram and even the entire West Sea is known for his violent law enforcement, and none of the prisoners and suspects who fell into the hands of this guy have good fruit to eat, and it is the best result to be beaten to the bone and broken tendons and stay in the hospital for two months. What are such violent elements doing in 'Coral'? Wrong...... How did he get up?
The tall and thin man known as Lafayette heard Victor's words reveal his origins, instead of being annoyed, he improvised a short tap dance on the spot, turned the civilization staff in his hand twice and then held it tightly behind him, and said with a smile: "Lord Murder Chain actually knows my name, I am really frightened, I ......"
He was about to continue, when his lips froze, and sweat began to drip from his forehead, and his whole body stiffened, like a frog stared at by a snake.
"Why did it stop? Go on......"
A gloomy hoarse voice came from behind him, and the black-clad Gurado, wearing a one-eyed patch, stood behind Lafayette with his arms folded, his right pupil in the shape of a golden ring slowly and indifferently scanned the back and neck of the 'prey'.
"Alright, Gurado. This Lafayette sheriff shouldn't have come to find fault, don't scare him. Victor waved his hand.
Gurado gave up, dissipated his murderous aura, and slowly retreated into the shadows.
Not only Lafayette, but even Daz Bonis had cold sweat on his forehead. The gap between the levels of strength is too large, and there is already a sense of crushing.
"Continuing the subject, Mr. Lafayette. What do you think you're here for? ”
Victor sat comfortably on the couch and crossed his legs. He believed that Lafayette would not be stupid enough to come to the territory of 'Coral' to provoke him.
After all, this Sheriff Lafayette is the big boss in the comics, "Blackbeard" Marshall J. D. Teach's number one staff officer and right-hand man! When Blackbeard was still a nobody, Lafayette dared to enter the Holy Land of Mary Joya alone for him, and faced the world's top combat forces such as the Warring States of the Buddha, 5 Lieutenant Generals, Doverngo Dofflago, Tyrant Bear, and Hawkeye.
[Brave and strategic, rare strategist], this is Victor's evaluation of Lafayette.
On the edge of the window, Lafayette quietly exhaled, knocked on the floor with a Chinese cane to make a 'pum' sound, and then said: "I came here to [recommend myself]. ”
Victor spread his right hand forward, signaling for Lafayette to continue.
"Lord Victor, to tell you the truth, I have been following your every move since you were born in the West Sea a year ago."
Lafayette paced slowly in a small area, and there was no panic in his tone: "Your strength deserves to belong to the top level on this sea, and your wisdom and strategy also make me admire." But I don't think you and Coral are missing the same talent to help you – diplomats. ”
"Sometimes, diplomats can do things that are hard to do in combat." Lafayette bowed slightly, leaned forward, and smiled confidently: "And I, self-nominate as a diplomat of 'Coral'." ”
Victor did not immediately refuse, but asked with great interest, "Aren't you the magistrate of the Kingdom of Sayibulm?" That grumpy king probably won't allow you to work part-time, right? ”
"Let me explain a little bit about that." Lafayette had a strange smile on his face: "In fact, at 4:42 p.m. yesterday, I was completely expelled from the Kingdom of Sayibulam on the grounds of [Abuse of Violent Law Enforcement], and now I have no fixed place to live, I am a wandering homeless man, so I have the cheekiness to come to you to seek a position." ”
"In other words......" Victor's eyes gradually became serious, "You don't have [allegiance] now, do you?" ”
"Exactly." The smile on Lafayette's face suddenly flickered, and then he knelt down on one knee towards Victor, his head hanging deeply: "Allow me to offer my loyalty to you, Mafia Victor 'The Chain'. ”
As a sudden uninvited guest, without even a reasonable explanation, he asked to become a diplomat who had been vacant in 'Sango', and asked Victor to accept him.
Sounds simply ridiculous.
But the corners of Victor's mouth raised a smile, he stood up and slowly walked over to Lafayette, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and bent down and stretched out his hand to him:
"Welcome to Coral, diplomat."
