East China Sea, Sotho King's Palace.
King Soto III, dressed casually, is combing the hair of his beloved queen.
This is impossible to see in other kingdoms. After all, the king is the most noble person in the country. How could he do such a thing.
But Soto III and his queen were childhood sweethearts. Although it was also a political marriage, their love could withstand the test.
"King, I have an ominous premonition about this expo." Queen Kath held her husband's hand, with worry in the corners of her brows.
Soto III gently broke away from Kath's hand, and then continued to comb Kath's hair.
"Don't worry, the palace guards are on the highest alert this time. Although the presence of that thing may cause riots, if it is not dealt with, it may cause a big disaster in the Soto Kingdom."
The worry in the corners of Kath's brows still did not dissipate, but she knew that she could not stop her husband. After all, growing the Soto Kingdom was his lifelong wish, and she must support it.
"Contact them if necessary." Kath said softly.
Soto III's hand shook and he almost pulled out a handful of hair. He looked at his wife in surprise.
Kath was not dissatisfied at all because of the pain in her scalp. She still looked at her husband with great concern.
"Okay, I will when necessary." Soto III sighed.
As a kingdom that has existed for hundreds of years, how could the Soto Kingdom not have some "friends"!
·······
At the port of the capital of the Soto Kingdom, dozens of ships that have lowered the pirate flag are docked here.
In the sea not far away, the warships of the navy branch were sailing and patrolling.
Colonel Stoker of the 94th branch had a stiff face as he watched one pirate ship after another break through their blockade and enter the waters of the Soto Kingdom.
That is the territory of the participating countries, and the navy cannot intrude without permission!
"Give me more firepower! Sink those pirate ships!"
Picking up the messenger phone next to him, Stoker roared angrily.
In the distance of the fleet, there are dozens of pirate ships heading here.
The expo held by the Soto Kingdom caused a stir throughout the East China Sea!
"Your Excellency, Colonel!" the messenger ran in, out of breath, "Oh no, the sentry has discovered a large fleet! There are estimated to be thirty pirate ships, and the ship is [Admiral] Creek's. Thief flag! "
"What!"
Stoker's body stiffened, "In this expo, even a big pirate like Crick appeared?"
The messenger was also very panicked.
In the East China Sea, if there is any pirate that even the navy cannot control, it is [Admiral] Creek!
His strength is not strong, but the fleet under his command has powerful firepower that can sweep a branch!
"Let go!"
Stoker thought for a long time, gritted his teeth tightly, and choked out two words.
The fleet of their branch 94 cannot stop the [Admiral] of the East China Sea!
Under Stoker's command, the naval fleet made a way.
In the distance, Creek looked at the opening made by the navy and laughed at the general Ajin beside him.
"Sure enough, the navy is just a bunch of paper tigers." A smile appeared on Creek's square face, and he talked to Akin, "What is this? The navy gave in to the pirates? Hahaha, do you want to find a newspaper? Report it?"
Ajin was still very calm. He knew that it was not that the navy was afraid of Chief Creek, but that they did not want unnecessary sacrifices.
Creek's fleet passed the naval blockade very easily, which made the other pirate groups very unhappy.
They want to pass the naval blockade, but it will take a lot of effort, and many of their subordinates will stay at sea forever.
But no matter how unhappy they are, the Navy cannot tolerate the emergence of a second Creek!
On the [Blood Axe], Nami looked at the huge fleet around her and pushed Morn, who was napping next to her, in a funny way.
"Hey, we actually got in with Creek's fleet. Why don't you clean up Creek? Then our financial resources will be greatly increased. It's only 20 million Baileys now, so we shouldn't be able to buy it. Something good."
Morn opened his eyes, looked at the majestic fleet around him, and waved his hand in a bored manner.
A bunch of rabble!
Two years later, after Creek, who had assembled fifty pirate ships, entered the Grand Line, he was immediately cut back to the East China Sea by Hawkeye.
Moen has no interest in this kind of team.
Soon, the [Blood Ax], which quietly broke away from the fleet, arrived at the port.
"Um?"
Moen opened his eyes wide, as if he saw something that surprised him.
"How is it possible? Why is this guy here?"
Frowning, he looked at the giant standing at the port.
The seven-meter-tall figure is very oppressive, and the black outfit and spotted pants are very cheerful.
There was no expression on his silent face, and he was holding a Bible in his hand and reading it with interest.
"Bartholome Bear!"
Moen stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes very bright.
The bear raised his head, and he felt the fiery gaze.
"·······"
Looking at Moen standing gracefully, Xiong twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to show a smile, but failed.
"Commodore, what are you doing here?"
Xiong asked.
"I would also like to ask, what are your intentions in joining the world as a member of the Shichibukai?"
Moen moved his neck, as if if the bear's answer didn't satisfy him, he would take action directly.
Xiong stood up silently, "..."
Uh-huh!
Xiong closed the Bible, slapped himself on the chest, and immediately disappeared from Morn's face.
"········"
"Meatball Fruit, what a terrifying development!" Morn smacked his lips, very envious of the bear's talent.
If Morn's talent for developing the Shining Fruit is comparable to Kizaru's, then Xiong's talent for developing his own fruit should be the strongest in the world.
A useless meat ball fruit can actually develop all kinds of weird and powerful abilities, some of which you have no idea how they are related to the meat ball fruit.
Among these abilities, there are tricks that are most difficult for Morn to accept.
The Yin Healing Bullet can eject damage from the body and then enter other people's bodies to cause damage.
This is a completely different kind of invincibility!
Nami had already sorted out the treasures and asked Hader to pack two large sacks and prepare to carry them to the shore.
Because of what Morn had gained from cleaning up the pirate ship, Nami no longer stared at Bailey in the hands of the [Blood Axe] members.
She also knows that the members of [Blood Axe] will go to prison to serve their sentences soon, so let them have fun again.
"What's wrong?" Nami nodded at Moen, who was in a daze.
"It's nothing." Moen came back to his senses and shook his head. After thinking for a long time, he turned to look at Harder.
"This time, please ask your crew not to go ashore and be ready to leave at any time. I have an ominous premonition."
Hader was a little surprised, "You are so powerful, but you still have an ominous premonition?"
Moen didn't reply. He didn't feel that anyone could threaten him, not even the disappeared big bear.
This is his self-confidence as a strong man.
But Nami and the members of [Blood Axe] don't have much power, so they can't possibly protect so many people.
Seeing that Moen was not joking, Harder immediately called two sailors to carry the sacks.
"Then, we won't all go up." Harder grinned, "Since we don't have much money, we might as well save it and go to Rogge Town to have a good time."
Looking at Hard, who was "on the road", Morn nodded. If he only brought a Nami and two oil bottles, unless the Four Emperors came, the other Morn wouldn't care at all.
Soto Square, a large square covering tens of thousands of square meters, was originally the place where the Soto Kingdom held festivals.
Nowadays, Soto Square has become the territory of vendors. Thousands of stalls are neatly placed in this large square, and the products are also dazzling.
"What a beautiful necklace."
Nami, who went to the Soto Royal Merchant House to exchange all her treasures, looked at an exquisite necklace on the stall, and her eyes immediately shone.
At this time, she was still wearing the clothes she brought from Cocosia Village. They were basically cheap street stalls or old clothes worn by Bellmere and Noqigao.
Even though the youthful aura emanating from her body is very fascinating, it still cannot hide the rustic nature of her clothes.
The stall owner is a fat man...
It seems that fat people appear quite frequently in this world.
Moen looked at the street stalls around him. Seven of the ten stalls were fat, and three had collapsed beds...
"Miss, you really have a good eye. This is a treasure fished out of the sea by our fleet. It is rumored that it is a personal accessory of a certain king's princess!"
The fat boss rubbed his hands, forced out a funny smile, and worked hard to introduce his products.
Although I almost said that I was a pirate.
The exposition held by the Soto Kingdom does not mind the participation of pirates, but there must be no disputes during the exposition, and you cannot disclose that you are a pirate, otherwise you will be arrested by the royal guards.
"Then, how much is it?" Nami rubbed the necklace, and the cold touch made it difficult for her to let go.
"Hmm..." The fat boss's little eyes that could no longer be seen rolled. "Seeing as you like it so much, miss, just bear the pain and get two million Baileys!"
"Two million! Why don't you go and grab it!"
Nami threw the necklace on Fatty's face and roared at him. According to her estimate, this necklace could cost up to 500,000 beli, which is quite incredible.
"you!"
The fat man had a red mark on his face when the necklace fell, and his face looked very ugly.
"Miss, if you don't want to buy it, you can leave. I don't have to sell it to you, right?"
Resisting the urge to kill Nami, the fat man forced a smile.
There is no way, at least, he fat man does not have the capital to challenge the rules set by the Soto Kingdom!
