Chapter 3 Scandal In The Kingdom Of Goa
"Big rubber balloon!" Luffy, wearing a straw hat and blue vest, shouted in the air.
"Help!! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Someone help me!" Staley was so frightened that tears and snot flew everywhere in the air.
Luffy lengthened his hands and rolled them into several circles to tie up Staley.
Open your mouth wide and inhale, turning yourself into a big balloon.
After falling from a high altitude onto the castle wall, he bounced a few times to absorb the force of the fall and hit the ground before he transformed back into his original Luffy form.
After Staley landed, he confirmed that he had not been thrown to death. He looked up and saw the king and many guards at the scene, and immediately shouted!
"Guards, save me quickly, catch this murderer quickly, he wants to kill me, a noble!"
The royal guards of Goya turned to look at the king, waiting for the king's order.
But was interrupted by Princess Sally.
"Wait! I know this man. Please tell me what he wants to do."
When the king heard Princess Sally's speech, he frowned immediately. It is not a glorious thing for the noble princess of Goa Kingdom to meet these low-class poor people. It's just that it's hard to scold Princess Sally directly because she's in public.
When the ministers heard this, they discovered that the princess actually knew this low-class poor man wearing a straw hat. This was big news! They also started whispering to each other.
"Tell me, who are you and why did you kidnap my son-in-law Staley? I allow you to speak." The king was sitting on the throne. Even though he was seriously ill, he deliberately maintained the etiquette of a noble, the so-called majesty of a king.
"Dear Your Majesty, your people are here to reveal the truth of the matter."
"Your Majesty, aren't you curious as to why your health is deteriorating? Why is your queen also ill at the same time? Why is His Highness the Prince also ill for a long time?"
"Your Majesty, haven't you noticed that the ministers around you are starting to have new faces? Some of the old ministers are beginning to get seriously ill and pass away?"
"Is it because there is no discovery, or is there suspicion but there is no evidence at all?"
Luffy took off his straw hat, put it on his abdomen, bent down and saluted, and then kept asking questions.
"What do you want to say? Say it!!!" Wang Guo ordered loudly.
Obviously, Luffy's question attracted the attention of the nobles and the king. Regardless of whether he had any doubts before, under Luffy's series of questioning, he would unconsciously think about the above questions. Some ministers began to turn pale and break into cold sweats when they heard these rhetorical questions.
"Because your majesty, queen, prince and ministers were all poisoned." Luffy answered calmly.
"What! We have been poisoned!" The ministers were shocked.
"Do you know what you are talking about!" The king stood up and pointed at Luffy.
"Poison! Who is it? Who is so bold!" Princess Sally asked in disbelief. She believed Luffy. Since Luffy said someone poisoned him, it must be true.
"It's Staley." Luffy directly announced the answer without keeping everyone interested.
"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation. I am not! I will become your son-in-law. Your Majesty, please believe me."
"I don't know why he falsely accused me and kidnapped me at the same time. Please order the death of a poor man like him. He is a criminal below and talks nonsense." Staley yelled while struggling.
"Haha, your story is very interesting, but why did Staley do this?" the king laughed.
The ministers also stared at Luffy. Although they were dubious about poisoning, they obviously did not believe Luffy's accusation that Staley had poisoned him.
The guards also began to get ready to move. As soon as the king gave the order, they rushed to deal with the poor man wearing a straw hat.
"Your Majesty, of course I have evidence." Luffy said with a smile, and then took out the phone bug from his pocket.
a year ago
After Ace went to sea, Luffy often went to the place where Sabo used to live alone and took away all kinds of things. At first, it was all kinds of meat and food, and later even books and valuables were moved to the three brothers' houses. Go to the secret base.
What? thief? steal?
To be fair, if the younger brother takes these things that originally belonged to his older brother and put them in his elder brother's secret base, it is not considered stealing!
As usual, when Luffy went to Sabo's luxurious aristocratic house to retrieve the belongings that originally belonged to Sabo, he accidentally overheard the conspiracy conversation between the adopted brother Staley and his men at the Sabo family.
"How are you preparing? I will marry Princess Sally in another year." Staley said.
"Master, this poison is very precious, there is absolutely no way they will discover it."
"And we have controlled the dosage very well according to your plan, Master." Kaidō, Staley's subordinate.
"Do a good job. Remember to control the dose of the poison. When I marry Princess Sally, I will live a perfect married life with the princess for another year."
"When I gain the trust and support of the princess, and when other nobles and ministers also support me, then let the king, queen and princes all die of poison one after another." Staley said.
"Master, not all ministers will support your accession to the throne of the Kingdom of Chigoa."
"Then let those ministers who oppose me go to accompany the king. Otherwise, my poor king will be a little lonely down there. As a son-in-law, I'd better send more people to accompany him."
"Then the Kingdom of Goa will belong to the master, and the master will be the new king." Staley's men returned excitedly
"Hahaha, yes, I am not that stupid Sabo. Not only do I want to be a noble, marry the most beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Goa, but I also want to be the king of the Kingdom of Goa. I will climb up step by step, climb to the highest, and become Celestial Dragons! True nobility!" Staley said.
"Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution. When it is done, I will make you my military minister." Staley said looking at the greedy faces of his subordinates, but he was thinking in his heart: Idiot, I will let you Will you live to see that day? When it's done, I'll send you to see that stupid Sabo, so that no one will know this secret forever.
"Thank you master, I am willing to serve you." Staley's man said.
...
Luffy hid in the closet. After learning the news, he did not stop Staley's plan. Instead, he used a phone bug he bought in Windmill Town to record their conversation.
Today Luffy just played the recording of his phone bug in front of many people.
The content played by the phone bug in Luffy's hand was so exciting.
For a moment, everyone was suddenly unable to accept such a big information, and they were collectively confused.
Although the king was seriously ill, he was still tall and tall. After listening to the phone call, he slumped on the king's chair and his eyes lost their light.
The queen also closed her eyes, covered her mouth, and shed tears, because she chose this son-in-law against all opinions. Princess Sally made objections more than once, but the queen suppressed them.
The pampered prince also gave up his aristocratic etiquette, rushed in front of Staley, and punched and kicked Staley like a street gangster. However, Staley was tied up by Luffy and could not resist at all.
Princess Sally stared at Staley with an expression of disbelief on her face. She really couldn't imagine that she almost married such a vicious man.
The ministers and nobles were shocked and speechless.
The scene is completely in a Shizune state.
"Your Majesty, please believe me and listen to my explanation. I didn't do this. The phone bug was a fake." Staley explained desperately, trying to make the king and ministers believe him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, ministers, this phone bug may be fake. The words of a lowly untouchable cannot be trusted, Your Majesty." Some nobles in the VIP table also began to speak for Staley, trying to clear Staley's charges. .
"Guards! Why don't you capture this lowly untouchable!" Seeing that many nobles were beginning to plead for mercy, the Finance Minister took advantage of the situation and suddenly issued an order.
"How presumptuous! Let's see who dares to take action!" Princess Sally stood up and shouted at the Minister of Finance.
