Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

An Alabasta maid was carrying today's afternoon tea, walking along the corridor and heading straight to Rowan's study.

She put the dinner plate away and knocked lightly on the door.

"Master Ancestor, afternoon tea is here."

"Please come in."

After hearing that gentle voice, the maid felt even happier.

She wasn't nervous.

But before that, when she was assigned to deliver afternoon tea to Rowan, the maid was really nervous.

She had served Kobra, the current king of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and felt that there could never be a more kind and gentle king than Kobra.

The maid had no idea what kind of character the ancestor from eight hundred years ago was like.

What if it's serious or cruel?

It’s scary just thinking about it.

But after a period of contact, the maid couldn't help but sigh, this country is exactly what she loves.

The ruler of Alabasta - his "gentleness" towards others is consistent.

Even if she made any mistakes while serving tea and water, the ancestor from eight hundred years ago would just smile gently and tell her not to be too nervous.

What a gentle country!

The maid thought so.

She pushed the door open and saw Luo Wen who was reading at the desk. Then she walked over slowly and put the tea and snacks in her hands on the desk.

Then, he bowed slightly.

"Ancestor, please use it with caution."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Luo Wen closed the book in his hand. It was a book about the development of modern science and technology. It recorded many modern inventions and their working principles in great detail.

After taking a sip of black tea, Rowan suddenly sighed to the maid: "By the way, the phone bug is really a magical creature, right?"

Hearing this, the maid was obviously stunned for a moment. She did not expect that the ancestor would suddenly lament this matter to her.

After thinking about it, the maid smiled and nodded.

"Well, yes, it is obviously a creature in nature, but it can be raised by people and turned into a tool pet that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away. Nature is really amazing!"

"It's more than that."

Rowan seemed to be interested too, and said slightly excitedly: "Did you know? In our time, there were only ordinary phone bugs, and even monitoring phone bugs were extremely rare high-end technologies!"

He suddenly picked up a telephone bug on the desk and introduced it to the maid:

“I didn’t expect that people today would actually develop such a thing!”

"This is a projection phone bug. Not only can it transmit sounds, but the image of the caller can be input from one eye of this phone bug, and then input from the other eye of another phone bug to form a projection. ."

"What a magical thing!"

Hearing this, the maid noticed that there were three projection phone bugs with different shapes on Rowan's desk.

This kind of phone bug is indeed a product made by combining modern technology. It is not expensive, but it is not suitable for the masses. Ordinary people still have no need for it.

In addition, the phone bug itself can imitate the user's demeanor to achieve the effect of "face-to-face communication".

Therefore, among the relatively simple Alabasta royal family, there are still very few people who are accustomed to using this kind of projector phone bug.

Why are there three projector phone bugs here, my ancestor?

The maid blinked curiously and tried to reach out to touch it, but Rowan directly handed the phone bug into her hand, then smiled and said:

"It's a very interesting gadget. I played with it for a long time when I first saw it."

Such remarks naturally made the maid feel more relaxed.

Young people always like novel gadgets that they have never seen before.

The maid thanked her and took the phone bug. After studying it for a few moments, the projector phone bug suddenly started to ring.

Bulu, Bulu, Bulu... Bulu, Bulu, Bulu...

Not only the one in the maid's hand, but the other two projector phone bugs also rang together.

Bulu, Bulu, Bulu... Bulu, Bulu, Bulu...

Bulu, Bulu, Bulu... Bulu, Bulu, Bulu...

For a time, the entire study became very lively.

The maid was at a loss for a moment, but Rowan was very calm and signaled the maid to answer the phone bug in her hand.

Click!

The maid picked up the receiver on the phone in her hand.

After a short delay, a figure emerged from the phone bug's right eye and was projected in front of the maid.

Then, a deep voice came from the phone bug's mouth.

"Hello, I'm looking for Ryan Rowan."

The voice was calm, but the maid's heart suddenly sank, as if she was under great pressure.

And when she saw the face of the man in the image clearly, the pupils of her eyes suddenly tightened.

Her body began to tremble, and she felt as if she had seen something she could not see.

At this moment, Rowan's hand suddenly patted her shoulder, and then his other hand stretched out and took back the phone bug from the maid's hand.

"Well, it seems they are looking for me."

Rowan's gentle voice dispelled the shock and fear in the maid's heart.

"You can go out first. I'll have the plates sent back to the kitchen later."

"Yes...yes, thank you, ancestor."

The maid nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and trotted out of the study regardless of whether it was in line with etiquette or not.

Even when she was far away, the panic in her eyes still refused to dissipate.

She...what exactly did she see? !

Appearing on top of that image was the Admiral of the Navy [Chief General] Sengoku!

I have seen that look in the newspapers many times, and it is definitely unmistakable!

Why did the Admiral call the Ancestor?

And from the tone of the navy marshal, it seemed that he came with the intention of "discussing"?

"call……"

The maid took a breath and patted her face.

She stayed in the royal palace of Alabasta for a long time. Even though the royal family of Alabasta was very approachable, the maid knew very well that after all, there were some things that she could not guess or spread at will.

Ever since, she took the initiative to forget what happened in the study and continued to do her work.

Anyway, our ancestors treat everyone very gently, isn't that enough?

…

Facts have proved that the maid's judgment is undoubtedly correct.

What happened in the study room at this moment was indeed a fact that many people on the sea could not believe.

Admiral of the Navy [Wise General] Warring States Period;

Navy recruit instructor [Black Wrist] Zefa;

Chief Staff Officer of the Navy Headquarters;

The images of the three people were projected from the eyes of the three phone bugs, and they were in the same room with Rowan.

Warring States looked around, confirmed the surrounding environment, and then asked:

"Where was that little girl just now?"

"Go and get busy."

Rowan touched his chin and grinned: "The door is closed, the sound insulation is very good, don't worry."

As soon as these words came out, coupled with the indifferent expression, the three marines present immediately judged that Ryan Rowan had definitely expected this scene!

As expected...

The three of them sighed secretly, feeling their scalps numb.

A brief headache was replaced by a sense of "anger."

"You...are taking advantage of Barlow's trust in you."

Zefa's face was gloomy and he said in a deep voice:

"You coaxed Barro to go to Wano to stir up a dispute, just to cause a direct conflict between the navy and the four emperors!"

It was He who spoke next.

She sighed softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor eight hundred years ago, you should not be like this."

Warring States was silent, waiting for Rowan's answer.

Rowan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Grandma He, you are very good at judging people. I am indeed not that kind of person."

"Huh?" The three marines were stunned when they heard this.

Rowan continued to say slowly:

"If you really don't want a direct conflict between the Navy and the Four Emperors, Barlow and the G-T branch will have no choice but to leave Alabasta temporarily."

At this moment, the expression on Rowan's face was also very serious.

"because--"

"The Four Emperors are coming."
