People in One Piece are so good-looking - Chapter 422

c418 Wano Country

Nuo Xia did not interrupt his divination, but stood by with great interest and quietly watched the whole process.

It’s quite a magical ability, and it has nothing to do with Devil Fruit. I don’t know if it’s an ancestral secret in the Hawkins family, or where I learned it from.

“Why, do you know me?” He took off the hood on his head and asked casually.

“You’re joking.”

Hawkins smiled bitterly, “With your prestige and reputation, in the new world, people who are unrecognizable in person are probably even rarer than the fate that cannot be predicted by cards.”

“Then why aren’t you panicking at all?”

Noxia glanced at the black skull flag flying on the mast, and then he recognized that it was the flag of the Beasts Pirates.

“That’s what I was going to explain to you.”

Hawkins caressed his chest and bowed slightly, then said respectfully, “If they are pirates, they will naturally be scared out of their wits by now. Our identities are not what you think…”

He suddenly reacted and looked up at Nuo Xia who was smiling in astonishment: “You…you have noticed it a long time ago?”

“What do you think?”

Nuo Xia smiled noncommittally and looked back at a figure behind the crowd. A smile appeared on his face: “Long time no see, Galio.”

“Nosha!!!”

Surprised, a white and fat figure rushed over with cheers and bumped into Nuo Xia’s arms, “Haha! It’s really you! I just saw the lightning on you and I thought it was, but I’m not sure yet. It turns out I really guessed it right!”

“If your aura hadn’t been able to hide it from me, I almost wouldn’t have recognized you based on your appearance.”

Nuo Xia laughed and hugged each other vigorously. After they separated, he looked at the fat middle-aged blond man with beard in front of him, his expression was a little strange.

“I said, we haven’t seen each other for a few years, right? Why have you suddenly gained so much weight?”

The other party was none other than Shia’s most loyal admirer, the King of Lot Kingdom, Galio VI.

A stubborn, naive, and somewhat childish king.

Nuo Xia had always had a good impression of him, but clearly in his memory, Galio was still stupid, but he was also a handsome blond guy.

How come it turned into a water gun form so quickly?

“Hehe.” Galio smiled sheepishly and scratched his hair. “I can’t help it. The food Aria made is so delicious. When I was in China, I had to eat extra every night. After two years, I gained over a hundred pounds…”

Aria?

Nuo Xia was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, remembering that when she was still in the headquarters a few years ago, she heard Shia mention that Galio had finally held his own wedding ceremony.

The bride is the daughter of a civil servant who has been in love with him for a long time. She seems to have this name. The relationship between the couple is very deep and harmonious, and it is also a good story in Lot Kingdom.

Sure enough, a happy married life is the biggest weapon for men to gain weight…

“Your Majesty.” Hawkins on the side couldn’t help but interjected and asked, “You and Lord Nuo Xia… have known each other for a long time?”

“Yeah yeah!”

After finally meeting Noxia again, Galio had not yet recovered from his excitement. He said with a smile, “That was all eight or nine years ago! It was the first time that I went to the Holy Land to participate in the world event on behalf of my father. The meeting was escorted by Nuo Xia himself.”

At that time, he was serving as a major general in Xihai, right? Eight or nine years ago? Is it already so far away…

“It’s been a long time indeed…”

Nuo Xia was a little emotional for a moment, but when he saw the excited Galio, his smile faded the next moment. Under Galio’s nervous gaze, he looked down at him expressionlessly and said:

“Then, Your Majesty Galio, should you explain to me that the Kingdom of Lot is thousands of kilometers away from here. As the leader of a country, why did you appear here inexplicably?”

“Well……”

Galio glanced at Noxia guiltily and was speechless. He secretly cast a look at Hawkins for help, but the latter just shrugged slightly and gave him a look that said you were asking for blessings.

…

A few minutes later.

“…Things, that’s what happened.”

Under the umbrella on the deck, Galio finished speaking with a grimace.

Nuo Xia, who was sitting opposite, looked at him speechlessly.

The story is nothing special, it’s probably just a story about a young king’s secret escape that’s common in folklore.

Galio has a restless temper and always stays in the capital. He often wanders around the country when he has nothing to do. He also likes to visit privately without any bodyguards.

A group of ministers who could never find anyone were frightened all year round, worried about his safety, and remonstrated several times. With the persuasion of the princess, Galio reluctantly calmed down for a while.

The result was a while ago.

After hearing that Nosha appeared at the tea party and single-handedly destroyed the entire world, Galio was so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night long.

I also heard rumors that the next target was most likely Kaido, another Sea Emperor, so my curiosity immediately arose, and I couldn’t help but sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night, and took a boat straight to Wano Country, hoping to be there at the scene , witness history with your own eyes.

The old and upright old guard captain in the palace knew that he would not be able to agree to such a ridiculous request without asking, and it was not possible to go far away without anyone to escort him.

So Galio simply found a group of caravan guards with a good reputation in Lot Kingdom, namely Hawkins’ group, and temporarily appointed him as the captain of the royal guard to escort him on this journey.

It also bears the banner of the Beasts Pirates to deter pirates along the way and avoid unnecessary trouble.

I have to say that this journey has actually been quite smooth.

But I didn’t expect that the pirates who had the idea didn’t meet him, but when they were about to arrive at Wano Country, they were even more unlucky to run into a terrifying ocean storm.

“idiot.”

Nuo Xia couldn’t help but slap the table, feigning anger and yelled, “I really want to open your brain to see what you are thinking!”

“The base camp of the Beast Pirates is such a dangerous place. The other pirates knew that there was going to be a war there and wanted to hide as far away as possible. But you, thousands of kilometers away, wanted to rush there to join in the fun! Don’t you know how to write the word death?”

“I…I know Kaido is dangerous.”

Galio was startled by his ferocious look, lowered his head and said aggrievedly, “But, you will be there too, right? As long as there is a fight, the entire Beast Pirates will be eliminated by you soon.” If you drop it, you should…not notice me?”

“…” Nuo Xia held her forehead and sighed, “Are you so confident in me?”

Galio nodded vigorously.

Nuo Xia really didn’t know what to say for a moment, and turned to look at Hawkins, who had been standing quietly beside him.

A group of pirates who should have been entrenched in the North Sea for many years and entered the new world as a supernova ten years later have become famous caravan guards in this timeline and were even captured by the king of a country. Trust values ​​​​and embarked on a completely different path.

This is probably another manifestation of the widespread influence of the butterfly effect. The half year he spent traveling around the North Sea was not in vain after all.

When Hawkins saw him looking at him, he smiled wryly and spread his hands:

“Sir, I also persuaded Your Majesty before departure, but he insisted on going, and there was nothing I could do. Moreover, His Majesty and I have the same view. We also believe that the Beast Pirates are not your opponent at all. If the situation is not right, I should also be able to protect His Majesty’s retreat as soon as possible.”

“Winning or losing has nothing to do with your safety.”

Nosha shook his head slightly, “Kaido is indeed not my opponent, but the Beast Pirates, after all, has a scale of tens of thousands. With the lessons learned from the tea party, they must be gathering troops now, shrinking their defenses, and preparing for the attack.”

“Anything going on next to Onigashima cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears, and Kaido doesn’t need to take action. As long as it is discovered by his cadres, you will die on the spot.”

He looked at Hawkins, who was getting more and more embarrassed, and said calmly, “Or are you confident that you can take the whole ship and escape from any of them? The plague Quinn? Or the drought? Senna?”

Plague Quinn, Drought Senna… These are all monsters with great reputations in the new world. Hawkins looked horrified: “I took it for granted, Lord Noxia…”

“As long as you know.”

Nuo Xia nodded slightly.

This was ten years ago in the comic timeline. Hawkins’s strength was far from enough in his eyes. The Three Disasters were not Sir Huang. In addition to kicking his own personality, he was so ridiculously capable that you would never let him go. He escaped from death.

“Go back, Your Majesty Galio.”

He stood up and left the table, and glanced at the anxious Galio for the last time. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t help but wander around in the country, but the sea outside called the New World is still too dangerous for you now.”

“You are the king of a country, and you have to think about the country and the people. Those ministers must have said it carefully many times. You are probably tired of hearing it, so I won’t say more.”

“I just hope that before you are in danger, you will think more about your family, especially… your wife who loves you deeply.”

“Yeah…”

Galio nodded dejectedly, but Nuo Xia saw his duplicity, turned around, looked at the distant sky, and said lightly, “Just bear with it for a while longer, and you can sail and travel freely in the new world… Then One day will come eventually, it won’t be very far.”

“If you can’t hold it for even this little time, that’s up to you. Anyway, after you die, I will take Shia and happily go to the Lot Kingdom for a banquet.”

The words fell.

Zizzi! The thunder suddenly exploded, and his figure turned into a blue stream of light, rushed into the sky, and disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

“What a terrifying speed, worthy of Master Nuo Xia…”

Hawkins watched the streamer go away. After sighing, he turned to look at Galio, who was stunned in place, and said hesitantly:

“Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we follow up secretly, or turn around…”

“Turn around! Go back!”

Galio woke up with a start. His face was full of fear, he slammed the table and gritted his teeth: “We must go back immediately! Before the new world is safe, I will never sneak out of the country again and make Shia cry for me. …This kind of thing, this kind of thing…”

“No matter what, it must not happen!!!”

ha?

Hawkins was a little confused. He looked at the surrounding royal guards and found that they were also confused.

——His Majesty has obviously always turned a deaf ear to his words of persuasion and is used to doing things his own way. Why did he change his attitude so quickly this time?

………………

Two days later.

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

A dilapidated town, in a teahouse beside a mountain road.

“Sir, please, please let us go this time!!”

“We promise that we will never dare to come here again! We will never dare to rob here again!!!”

Nuo Xia was sitting under the tent, drinking tea calmly, while a few meters away on the mountain road, a dozen bandits cried bitterly, knelt down and kowtowed desperately, begging for their lives.

They didn’t dare to stop when they didn’t get any response, and soon their foreheads were red and swollen from the knocks, with blurred blood stains.

“Samurai-sama.”

The teahouse proprietress who was carrying a pot of water next to her could not bear it and begged softly, “They are not guilty enough to die. Otherwise, you should give them a chance and let them go.”

Hearing this, the group of bandits immediately raised their heads in surprise and looked at Nuo Xia eagerly.

“Miss Ahe, are you sure?”

Nuo Xia sighed and looked back at the proprietress in front of him, “Don’t forget, just now, they chopped down several tea tables and threatened you to hand over all your money.”

“If I hadn’t happened to be drinking tea here, all your hard work this year would have been in vain.”

The landlady’s name is Ahe, and she is dressed in a traditional kimono. Although she is nearly forty years old and has a weathered face, she can still tell that she must have been a gentle and beautiful woman like Yamato Nadeshiko in her youth.

“I know.”

Ah He sighed quietly, “But these children are not bandits in the first place. They are poor people from nearby towns. The world is difficult. They were forced by the Heitan family to find that they could not survive, so they were forced to become bandits.”

“It is true that they occasionally come down to the mountains to rob, but most of them still make a living by hunting in the mountains. When they come to ask for money, they also know how to use it. I have never heard of them killing anyone.”

Ahe smiled bitterly, “If there was no other way, they would definitely not want to end up like this, so… please be kind and give them a chance to survive.”

As she spoke, she took out two money bags from her arms, pushed one in front of Nuo Xia, and took the other to the mountain road and gave it to the bandit who led the bandit.

The leading bandit, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, looked blankly at the money bag in his hand, and then looked up at Ahe with gentle eyes. His face suddenly turned red and he felt ashamed.

This scene was seen by Nuo Xia. He glanced at these sallow and skinny bandits, then looked towards the prosperous Flower City in the distance, and sighed softly.

What a sin, Oden.

Before he traveled through time, the comic plot had not advanced to Wano Country, so he did not know much about this samurai country that had been closed off for hundreds of years. Many things were learned from some confidential documents of the headquarters after he later became a high-ranking member of the Navy.

He couldn’t understand Oden’s brain circuit, nor could he appreciate what he did.

The country of Wano has fallen into what it is today. As the supreme leader and shouldering the expectations of the people, Kozuki Oden is definitely to blame.
