And this is not any other area, but the town of residents of the Drum Kingdom. This was originally Kosa's plan to parade the captured pirates through the streets to appease the citizens who were only disturbed before. But... after thinking about all the situations including victory or defeat and loss, the only thing Koza and Dalton didn't expect was the current situation.

The enemy is indeed far stronger than them, and it is not impossible for everyone, including Dalton and Kosha, to splatter the snow with blood. Noble, Kosa and Dalton couldn't take this victory for granted anyway.

"His Majesty the King has caught the newly entered pirate!"

"What?! Those nasty pirates were caught?"

"Those bloody bastards! Punish these bastards severely!"

However, at some point, the progress of the matter is obviously not something human can stop. No matter what Kosha and Dalton think, those citizens who don't know the truth have naturally acted the most reasonable behavior, and the noisy crowd spontaneously gathered in the Both sides of the road are not only for praising and admiring the young and promising new king, but also for casting the most angry and vicious curses on the captured pirate.

"Kill these two marauding pirates!"

"Because of them, my youngest daughter starved to death due to food shortage!"

"That's right! In order to escape, my father caught wind and chill and died in the snow!"

There are more and more residents surrounding both sides of the road, and more and more anger and curses are thrown into the cage. After a rotten tomato flies into the cage first, a large pile of garbage full of humiliation and anger seems to be pouring The heavy rain hit the cage, which should have been one of the punishments of the real murderer, but Luffy and Zoro who appeared here now experienced this.

Luffy and Zoro are still quietly staying in the cage, and it is obviously impossible for the images of the two to remain intact under such humiliation. They take off a rotten leaf from their straw hat, and hang two Luffy of Rotten Eggs and Rotten Tomatoes suddenly spoke, and his tone was very crisp: "Sorry."

"Oh, it's not painful, it's nothing, Captain."

And also took off a piece of eggshell from his own head, Sauron still answered quietly and plainly, which obviously showed his consciousness and loyalty as the vice-captain.

In order to treat Kebi, he needed to find a doctor, so he couldn't confront these people with swords, so he had to keep such a low voice, and that's why he had to bear such humiliation. That's all, it's not a challenge.

Nobility always has a price to pay, not only Luffy and Zoro in the prison car kept quiet at the moment, but Koza and Dalton, who were walking at the forefront of the parade, also kept quiet at the moment.

According to the original plan, at this time the king will start the usual speeches and encouragements as a way to appease and relieve the citizens. However, Kosha, who has had countless speech experiences and indeed prepared a reasonable line before coming here, is completely unable to say these words at this moment. The two pirates have not done any evil at all, and they have not even resisted. Under such circumstances, he was captured because of his obsession with seeking a doctor for his companions. Such a victory, any praise and praise prepared for him, has become an undoubted shame and despicableness.

【What should I do? 】

Silently, Kosha gritted his teeth. Although the times were tough in the rebel army, he had never suffered such torture of conscience, even if he always doubted whether King Cobra was really related to dancing fans, But that contradictory feeling, compared with the current feeling, has become an incomparable feeling.

"Your Majesty! The execution rack for the pirates is ready!"

However, the reality is unavoidable and hesitant. The street is not too far away, and the militia captain who reported with a sense of fanaticism did not see the inner torment of his majesty at the moment, but glanced at it with eyes full of hatred and pleasure. The cage, and then pointed to a small wooden table at the end of the street, with a total of six cold wooden crosses on it. Obviously, out of resentment towards the pirates, this time there is no straightforward hanging or guillotine, but this kind of hanger that hangs people on it and waits for them to suffer and die alive.

"...I see..."

Closing his eyes in pain, Koza left his mount with heavy steps. Even though he had experienced countless battles, this time he felt helpless again. He was very clear about the purpose of the previous battles, and they were all to fight against the sand bandits or other thieves who looted the civilians, so he had a clear conscience. However, this time, he rarely felt an unrelieved heaviness, and even his feet became difficult to walk.

"Your Majesty... Otherwise, let's put these two pirates in prison first, after all..."

Dalton on one side couldn't bear to propose. Of course, this noble chief of guards saw Kosha's inner struggle and pain. He wanted to harm other innocent people for the sake of some innocent people. They couldn't convince themselves . Moreover, it is impossible to use the "past sins" of these two pirates as an excuse. Their nobility will not allow them to use this excuse to ignore the fact that these two pirates have indeed not committed evil deeds in this country.

"Your Excellency Dalton is too merciful! How can these pirates be interrogated! These wooden stakes are their best destination!"

However, Dalton's words undoubtedly reached the ears of the people on one side, and almost before Kosha could speak, there was such a roar from the angry crowd next to him, and then countless people followed suit, This made Kosha and Dalton's expressions sink uncontrollably.

Obviously, they are powerless to change the opinion of the people, even if they are kings and chief guards, but at this moment their sense of responsibility and kindness have become the guillotine that dragged them to the so-called 'public opinion'.

Walking to the side of the prison car with difficulty, Kosha forced himself to stare at the two pirates in the cage, only then did he realize that they were just two very young people, and up to this moment, the two had no eyes Any resentment or anger, there is only a kind of calm that makes Koza more tormented.

Almost trying his best to maintain his superficial calm, Kosha also took a long breath, and then asked his own lines.

"You guys... do you have anything else to say? The pirates who claim to be the future One Piece... and the great swordsman!"

Cherry Blossoms of Drum Kingdom (4)

Whether he will be insulted, hypocritical, or even worse ridiculed, Kosha doesn't care at all, and even at this moment he really hopes that the two pirates can open their mouths and curse like this, because this way he can slightly expel some of his inner feelings. torment.

Even, as the king, Kosha is undoubtedly too close to the cage at this moment. This is the king's final determination. Although Sauron's weapon has been confiscated, Kosha pushes the saber at his waist towards the green-haired swordsman in a show-like manner. Undoubtedly implied.

[Hijack me, and then the two of you escape. 】

This is the way Kosa decided. After all, he still couldn't kill two people who didn't do evil, even if the two people might just not do evil in this country. This is essentially an exchange, after all, these two powerful pirates could clearly destroy Kou Sha and his party, but they still chose not to resist, even after being humiliated like that, they did not resist at all. This kind of behavior can be regarded as avoiding a large number of casualties of soldiers and civilians. At this time, if some of his own dignity can repay the other party's kindness, Kosha doesn't mind.

"Now, I say, as long as we hang on that shelf for a few days, you'll get my mate a doctor, won't you?"

However, the words that entered Koshar's ears made the young king's eyes widen in shock. At such a time when it was clear that his own life was hard to save, these two pirates still thought about their companions?

And Luffy in the cage is holding the railing with both hands, and staring at Kosha without flinching. Although his body is messy at the moment, the persistence and firmness in the eyes of the straw hat boy still have nothing to do with it. Changes, which even caused Kosha to lose the ability to think and answer in a short period of time.

"They... no, our approach is to tie the evil pirates to these wooden frames, let the most severe wind and snow here turn them into human beings, and then be pecked by the crows of the winter island do."

Because he didn't know how to answer, Kosha just instinctively narrated the content of this cruel punishment, which is also the most in line with the current meaning of the people of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom: because of the last group of pirates who plundered wantonly, many people here are The shortage of supplies paid the highest price in the ice and snow, so the pirates have to bear the same damage.

"Cut, that's it~ Tell me, we stay up there for a few days, can you find a doctor for our partner?"

Sauron, who was still leaning against the railing of the prison car with the back of his head in his arms, also spoke nonchalantly. This green-haired swordsman, who usually seemed to be just a reckless man, deliberately lowered his voice, and his tone was a bit joking: "Just When it’s a deal, your new king needs some pirates to stabilize people’s hearts, and we need you, the king, to help us find a doctor.

Even though he has personally experienced battles of different sizes, Kosha was still shocked by the actions of the two pirates in front of him, and after confirming the seriousness and firmness in the eyes of the two, he nodded solemnly, and then continued with a He answered this question in a firm tone: "Three days, we will tie you two pirates here for three days, if you are not dead by then, it means that you may have been forgiven by this country, We'll let you go."

This time Kosha's tone was not deliberately lowered, and hearing the king's words, most of the surrounding people showed gloating eyes. The climate of the Drum Kingdom as a winter island is not something to talk about casually. The temperature is kept below zero all year round. It is very common. It is more common to have a little snow in three days and a heavy snow in seven days. Not to mention three days, even for ordinary people, it is only one night. It would be frozen into a popsicle, so Kosha's words did not make these civilians think that they were letting these pirates go. On the contrary, it was a vicious hope in their eyes.

So soon the riots on the street subsided, and the people who had fully satisfied their desire for revenge returned to their lives again. After Luffy and Sauron were tied to those wooden shelves as promised, the two pirates In the minds of the people, it is undoubtedly equivalent to being sentenced to death.

In this world, everything needs to pay a price, but love is even more so.

Chopper hid in confusion in the streets and alleys where he could see this scene. His superhuman strength also gave him superhuman hearing, so he could clearly hear what Luffy and Zoro said to Koza The words uttered, and the intuition of the beast made Chopper feel it. Even if you count the combined combat power of yourself and the surrounding villagers, I am afraid that they may not be able to stop these two pirates, but these two pirates A thief, but still willing to be tied to the cross for the sake of his companions.

As the adopted son of the quack doctor Hiruluk, Chopper is by no means a bystander who has no heart to defend the Drum Kingdom. The little reindeer, who never flinched, followed secretly all the way. What he wanted to determine was whether the group of pirates would pose a threat to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, but he saw such a scene that confused him.

[There is nothing impossible for a man who injects his soul into the skull flag. 】

This sentence is exactly what the adoptive father Shiruluk who saved Chopper once said, but those pirates who plundered this country unscrupulously before, and these two pirates who can even risk their lives for their companions Thief, of these two groups of people, which one is the foster father referring to in his words?

Sighing slightly, the little reindeer turned around in the wind and snow, and then walked towards the distant coastline. Currently, it was the field practice time given to him by Kuleha, although Chopper used to use these time to collect herbs and Communicate with small animals. But this time, Chopper felt that he needed to find the ships of these pirates, because there were patients on it that could make the two pirates die, because Chopper himself was a doctor.

If you are really familiar with the nature of human beings, you will find that under the halo of the so-called 'group', there is only an almost cruel fact hidden, that is: [Mutual attraction of the same kind of people] That's all.

This world is still too vast, just like a great route with countless routes, and a person who adopts a life attitude seems to have chosen one of the routes. Naturally, those who travel with it on this route are natural companions and friends, while those who choose other routes are natural competitors and opponents.

Everyone wants to instinctively prove that the route they have chosen is the best one, whether it is 'giri' or 'reality'.

Guardian (1)

Because Robin left Alabasta and went to the Drum Kingdom to recruit MR3 who possesses the Candle Fruit, the only one who can control the progress of Pluto's excavation is naturally only Nami.

The deterrent power of ancient weapons is too great. If it is leaked, the admiral will definitely come to the door in person, so Nami naturally needs to put aside all other things and come here to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

"How's the progress today?"

Because the tunnel has penetrated into an area close to several kilometers underground, and because of the long distance, simple rail pulleys have been installed on the downward passage, although the material turnover capacity of the Baroque Works has already occupied Alabasta after the integration of Nami. Currently the strongest one, but it still needs to be taken seriously enough to provide power for this huge project, which is why Nami wants to cultivate Weiwei as soon as possible. The rest of the people are really untrustworthy, after all, not everyone can resist the temptation of rich supplies.

"Continue to strengthen the tunnel and expand the excavation surface according to your instructions, but..."
