Chapter 53: The Elegia Festival
East China Sea.
One of the four seas, and also the hometown of [One Piece] Roger.
However, unlike Roger's prestige, the East China Sea is considered to be the weakest of the four seas, and there are very few heroes in it.
Most of the wandering pirates are unknown, and there are very few people who have been rewarded.
β¦β¦
The Land of Music, Eleguia.
Two hundred nautical miles from the territorial sea lies a small uninhabited island.
At this moment, a pirate ship slowly approached the shore from far and near.
More than a dozen pirates disembarked one after another and came to their temporary camp during this time for a short repair.
"Ahhh
The pirate captain at the head let out a strange laugh and boasted:
"When this big order is completed, Lao Tzu will definitely be rewarded with a high amount!"
"That's right, Captain!"
"The captain is really the best!"
"Long live the Captain!"
ββ¦β¦β
A group of pirate brothers echoed it.
Seeing this, the pirate captain got even more carried away and said: "Ahhh β
"Oh!"
When the pirate brothers heard this, they cheered even more.
The captain was suddenly full of pride, turned to look at the sea, and emphasized:
"However, this deal involves Eleguia, and we must keep it a secret, understand?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Got it!"
ββ¦β¦β
Still no one answered.
The pirate captain immediately frowned, turned around and scolded, "Hey, I said you guys ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned.
Because in front of him, a man in a fur coat suddenly appeared.
He has a cigar in his mouth, a golden hook in his left hand, and a little brother's neck in his right hand.
Around the man, the remaining younger brothers had already fallen to the ground, and their skin was shriveled and there was no movement.
The captain trembled and said:
"You...... Who are you?! β
"Make you decent people."
The man smiled gloomily, and his right hand strained hard, sucking the water out of the little brother's body.
"Huh...... Hey! β
The pirate captain was puzzled, but he also understood the horror of the man in front of him.
He couldn't take care of his little brothers anymore, so he immediately ran away.
"Hehehehehe......"
Seeing this, the man didn't chase after him, and casually threw the little brother in his hand aside, and Sen Ran sneered:
"You stinky fish and rotten shrimp will only have no bones left in the Great Voyage, aren't you much more decent now?"
"Wow!"
The captain was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted as he ran: "There is some money on the ship, take it all, please let me go!" β
Boom!
Before he could run a few steps, he bumped into another person.
The man grabbed the pirate captain's shoulder, grinning in pain.
"Who...... Who is it? β
When I looked up, I saw a tall and burly body.
The perfect muscles erupted with an astonishing force that made the pirate captain unable to move at all.
"I know you're scared, but don't be afraid."
Lindsay's pupils rolled, and her clear eyes showed a slight strange light, comforting the captain.
"What exactly is the 'Elegia's big list' you just mentioned?"
This is the point that makes Lindsay more curious.
As a country of music, Elegia has a long history and enjoys a great reputation around the world.
But history and culture can't be eaten for a while after all, and most of the pirates don't care about that.
The economic development of Eleguia is relatively average, and the focus of the people is on further education in music, so it is naturally difficult to attract the attention of pirates.
ββ¦β¦β
"That's, big ...... Uncle ......"
The pirate captain trembled and said in horror:
"I don't really know who they are, but if we can make trouble off the coast and rob the fleets that pass by, we can wait for the charts of the great voyage, and a lot of rewards!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Okay."
Lindsay nodded, and with a slam of her palm, she pressed the pirate captain into the dirt beneath his feet.
At this point, the whole island was quiet, and there was no commotion.
Lindsey patted his clothes, and Klocodahl beckoned to him.
The two of them boarded the pirate ship.
Remove the black flag, replace it with white sails, and the ship becomes their own.
β¦β¦
Along the way, Lindsay grabbed Crocoke Dahl and flew to a halt.
The two of them finally arrived near Elegia half a day ago.
But Klockdahl was not in a hurry, and stopped Lindsay in advance.
"It's too conspicuous to land like this."
Klockdahl sees a small island and finds traces of pirate activity on it.
"Go get a pirate ship and save yourself from attracting attention."
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsey had played too much in the windless zone before, and knew that he was wrong, so he also agreed with Klockdahl's idea.
And whether it is the text of history or Nicole Robin, it is an existence that will cause a huge riot once it is discovered.
It's rare to come to Eleguia, so you have to take your time first.
β¦β¦
Soon, the ship set sail.
After a leisurely voyage for half a day, he finally arrived at the port of Elegia in the evening, when it was getting dark
There are very few superpowers like Alabastan, so the "port" and "city" of Aregia are one and the same, and it is even more lively.
Shout...... Rumble!
Shout...... Rumble!
Several explosions were heard, but instead of shells, fireworks in mid-air.
The gunpowder exploded in the air and countless colorful fireworks, outlining one note after another pattern, which was extremely gorgeous!
"Hah!"
Lindsey looked at these with interest.
The vast ocean has different customs and customs, so it is natural to appreciate it, which is also one of the joys of travel.
β¦β¦
Click!
The ship docked, and Lindsay and Crocodal disembarked.
As soon as he stepped onto the dock, an even more noisy feeling came over him, making Klockdahl frown.
"What's being celebrated here?"
Even if it is a country of music, the national strength and energy are limited, and it is impossible to party every day.
On the other side, the staff in charge of the reception of the dock greeted him warmly and introduced:
"Two gentlemen, welcome to Elegia!"
She wore a well-dressed gown and had a pleasant voice.
"This is the land of music, and I hope you two can listen to the sounds of longing here."
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl didn't reply, and continued to look around.
It's not that he is rude, but he knows very well that even if he answers, he will definitely be interrupted by that really rude primitive person!
Sure enoughβ
"Excuse me."
Lindsay leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with Eleguia now?" β
"Don't you know?"
The receptionist was a little surprised, and then smiled and said, "Elegia is now running a triennial grand music festival. β
"Music lovers from all over the world, not only their own citizens, come here to enjoy the moving music."
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsey listened to the receptionist's introduction.
On the other side, Crocodall's eyes scanned the harbor, but he saw a ship he hadn't thought ofβ
The hull is unpretentious, and the bow is a crimson dragon head, boxy.
Although the black flag and emblem had been put away, Klockdahl recognized it at a glance that the ship was none other than the Redd Foss of the Red-Haired Pirates!
"[Redhead] parked the ship in the harbor?"
Klockdahl turned his head to look at the receptionist and wondered, "Can pirates pass through the port normally?" β
"That's right!"
The receptionist's answer was beyond Klockdahl's expectations.
"As long as the Elegia Festival lasts, even pirates will be welcome!"
The receptionist blinked and smiled, "After all, music is the freest and most equal thing in the world." β
"No amount of high walls can stop the spread of music."
"Nobles and commoners hear the same voice."
"Two-"
The receptionist bowed slightly, took half a step to the side, and stretched out his hand to Lindsay and Crocodall.
"Welcome to the land of love and peace in music, Eleguia."
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
On the occasion of parting, Lindsay asked the receptionist in passing.
Pointing to the Red Foss.
"How long has that ship been docked here?"
The receptionist thought for a moment and replied, "About a week or more?" Anyway, it was already there before the festival officially started. β
"Thank you."
Lindsay smiled in response, already having a judgment in her heart.
The Red-Haired Pirates arrived a little earlier and stayed a little longer.
The butterfly's wings flapped, bringing a breeze through Eregia.
A storm of fate is coming!
Lindsay put her hand on Klockdahl's shoulder and laughed brightly, "There are always all kinds of wonderful things in this world, right? β
"Indeed."
Klockdahl nodded, and said gloomily, "There will always be all kinds of troubles in this world......
