One Piece – Thunder and Lightning

Chapter 13 Fog

In front of Nicholas, a castle like a western fantasy novel stands tall, surrounded by a huge wall that is dozens of meters high It’s really unimaginable how this small island built such a huge castle.

“This castle should also have a history of a thousand years.”

Just as Beilein looked at this huge castle full of history, a huge roar sounded, and then Vestad Putting away his axe, he smiled at Nicholas: “Captain, the door is open.”

“Then go in and see what gives the king of this country so much confidence. .”

Nicholas then took the lead through the split castle gate.

The castle was dead silent at this time, as if the people inside had disappeared out of thin air before Nicholas and the others arrived.

Inside the castle, huge candles can be seen everywhere, illuminating the interior of the castle, which was not well lit, as if it were in the daytime.

In the empty hall inside the castle, there are guards who do not know whether it is an armor model or a daoist. At the end of the hall is a tall staircase. Hundreds of armored guards with weapons one-knee kneels stand before the throne.

And on that huge throne, a huge silhouette was sitting at this time. He was wearing heavy armor and holding a sword in both hands. It was the messenger who ordered his men to send tribute from Rocks Pirates. The beheaded Taji Perth is also the only king of the Taji royal family of this generation!

Nicholas walked, and when he reached the hall, he watched the man sitting on the throne.

The people above the throne seemed to be because of Nicholas and their intrusion, and Taji Perth also lifted his head.

“Oh Rocks Pirates, Seventh Division Captain Thundergod Nicholas didn’t expect Rocks to send you. I thought that guy would just send some of his Pirates at most.”

Tower Ji Baisi said calmly, as if he was not surprised at the arrival of Nicholas.

“You don’t seem surprised at all?”

Nicholas looked at King Perth, who was sitting on the throne, opened the mouth and said.

“Of course not surprised, after all, it just saves some intermediate steps. In the original plan, first kill the messengers under Rocks, and then gradually lead out the higher combat power of Rocks Pirates. “

King Perth paused for a while, then glanced at Nicholas and said, “I just didn’t expect it to be you, which makes me feel a little distressed.”

“Actually, I didn’t want to come, but I had no choice. That guy named me and asked me to come. But I’m very curious about what gave you so much courage to provoke that monster?”

Nicholas is really curious, after all, the Rocks guy has a great reputation in New World for so many years, and although he will pay tribute to many islands in New World, it is compared to the heavenly gold to be handed over to Celestial Dragon. There are still some gaps, and in the New World, as long as you pay tribute to the Rocks, you can get the protection of the Rocks Pirates.

This is also the survival method of many New World countries, by handing over money and materials to some powerful Pirates in exchange for their shelter, just like the Whitebeard Pirates need to maintain so many Pirates, it is destined to be more expensive than huge. , so the protection fee charged in the territory is the bulk of it, but the looting is only the details.

Nicholas couldn’t figure out that the World Government would risk revenge by the Sword of Gilbek by entering the New World to punish those nations that didn’t turn in the celestial gold.

This kind of thing is not harmful to his own country, why does King Perth risk being revenge by Rocks to do this kind of thing.

Hearing this, King Perth’s eyes flashed with strange rays of light, and then he said without emotion: “Hahaha, brat, have you underestimated the strength of the World Government? As for resisting the Rocks. Isn’t Pirates a very interesting thing!?”

Said King Perth stood up, moved towards the front and clenched his fists: “My soldiers, let them see Your terrifying!”

Immediately, the hundreds of armored guards kneeling in front of King Perth all knocked on the armor on their chests with their left hands and bowed their heads: “I vow to defend the king to the death. Glory!”

And just when Nicholas and the others were in the castle, a white fog suddenly filled the entire Taji Island, and this white fog was quickly moved towards the whole island. , it seems that it will not take long to cover the entire island.

“haha.”

In the alley in the slums of Taji Island in the fog, a little girl was running in a hurry with a face of horror, while running and looking back in horror, it seemed Something terrifying was chasing her.

Bang!

Because he didn’t pay attention to his feet, he tripped over a raised stone and threw himself involuntarily to the ground.

But it seemed that it was too late to think about the severe pain coming from her body. The little girl just looked at her body in panic, and when she found that there was no bleeding, she couldn’t help but let out a long relaxed breath.

Suddenly behind him came the sound of da da footsteps leaping on the roof.

The little girl immediately looked terrified, and then looked at the garbage bins filled with all kinds of garbage and exuding a strong odor.

Without the slightest hesitation, the whole person threw herself into the trash can. As she plunged into the trash can and moved towards it, the trash with various smells in the trash soon took her away. The entire thin body was covered.

Da Da~

It’s like the feet of some kind of animal are stepping on the ground, and with the approach of this sound, there is the sound of constantly twitching the nose to search for the smell.

“Ah~qiu!”

It seems that the smell in the trash can is too strong, and the ‘person’ who is trying to find the target with the smell can’t help but hit several times in a row. sneeze.

And Katie, who was hiding in the trash, covered her mouth with her little hands, trying her best not to make a sound.

da da da, go with the footsteps.

After a while there was no other sound around, the little girl Katie cautiously stuck her head out of the trash can, looked left and right, made sure that there was really no one, and then relaxed.

It was only then that she had the opportunity to take out what was in her arms and take a look. It was a tattered cloth bag with some moldy bread in it.

“Wait for me. I’ll definitely bring something to eat.”

As if thinking of someone important, Katie kept cheering herself up.

After all, whether it was the thick fog that was barely a meter away, or the terrifying scene she saw when she was looking for food, she had a bad feeling in her heart, she thought. Go home quickly and bring food to your family.

The little girl Katie looked at the moldy bread in front of her, swallowed saliva and said.

“With this food, everyone will be able to live, they must eat, or they will die.”

Then put away the rotten cloth bag, cautiously slid into his arms.

Just when Katie climbed out of the trash can and was about to move towards the house, suddenly the center of the island was said to be the king of the whole island, and a huge sound came from the direction of the castle where King Perth lived. rumbling sound.

This sound made Katie’s pace slow down. The rumbling sound of artillery fire from the port of the island before, she thought it was another group of Pirates, and Taji Island had encountered Pirates before, but Now that even the safest part of the island is fighting, doesn’t it mean that the Pirates managed to break through the defenses on the other side of the dock this time.

Thinking of all the rumors about Pirate she heard before, Katie became even more anxious. Although she has no treasure at home, facing the murderous Pirate, her family will be in danger!

At this time, Katie didn’t realize that even if she went back to face the danger that her family couldn’t deal with, what use would she be as a child.
