Codex Pirates

Chapter 186 The Grace of Not Killing

After the team of Celestial Dragons left, William patted the non-existent dust on his knees and stood up.

Sherlock who got up behind him didn't say anything, but Dampier got up and his face was livid.

Daniel is knowledgeable and arrogant. Even when facing William, he will never bow his knees like Gesetta and others. He is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and naturally he will not think that Tianlong is born better than others like other ignorant people. Noble, born to be more talented than others, is already dissatisfied with letting him kneel down, and he was deliberately humiliated. If he hadn't been sensible enough, he would have cut down the Celestial Dragon man Jermak Sheng with a sword.

"Why do people kneel down to pigs!" Dampier sneered.

"Dragon people, even if it is a pig, it is still a member of the Tianlong people and will be protected by the world government." William said with a bright smile instead of being angry like Dampier.

Sherlock glanced at William, he knew that William must be upset, but how angry he was, he couldn't see it from the outside.

Arriving in front of the half-built city wall in the aristocratic district, Jermak St. sneered again.

The "Donghai Shimbun" in charge of Gesetta has been publishing related news when the world government inspection team was stationed in Kalmar City. William, who is in state affairs, tends to be critical. He believes that William, as the first consul, has brought shame on the entire country because he has not fulfilled the obligation to receive the nobles of the world.

In a classroom at New East College, it was already break time, and most of the students had gone out for free activities, but Hughes Holt was buried in a newspaper.

After a while, he put down the newspaper and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Are the people in these newspaper offices full of poop? How else can they treat Tianlong people well?"

Elijah Reid heard the words, and habitually sang the opposite tune: "It can't be said that, at least the problem of the city walls of the slums and the nobles, the principal failed to deal with it before the arrival of the Tianlong people."

"How long has the slum area been a problem? How did the principal solve it in a short time? The city wall was originally built by the nobles in the country, and the taxes were imposed on the common people. It was abolished after the principal took power."

Elijah Reed disagreed: "The Kingdom of Goa is doing very well. They also have a high town and a mountain of garbage. I know you don't like Tianlong people, but they are the nobles of the world after all, and they are representatives of the world government. What the above said is actually not unreasonable, the principal did not receive them well, not only he was humiliated, but also the whole country, and even the entire East China Sea."

"Why don't you talk about the whole human race?" Hughes Holt sarcastically said.

"I'm not arguing with you," Elijah Reid shook his head, "You're too extreme to look at the problem calmly. Goa Kingdom also has the stain of the terminal of uncertain objects, but their reception work is just Very good, it has preserved the face of the East China Sea country, and has not displeased the nobles of the world."

...

The inspection team only stayed in Kalmar City for a few days. They said it was an inspection group, but William felt that these people were more like representing the Tianlong people and the world government, declaring their right to rule in the East China Sea, just like a lion patrolling his own land. Same territory.

These people didn't say that they really took a good look at the situation inside the kingdom from the beginning to the end, which made William, who was wary of this, make many arrangements useless.

At the same time, with the departure of the inspection team where the Tianlongren belonged, the "Donghai Shimbun" also began to gradually throw out doubts about the fire at the terminal station of the uncertain object in the Kingdom of Goa.

Because Sabo himself was born in the Kingdom of Goa and lived in the terminal of uncertain objects for many years, other roommates in the dormitory are also very concerned about this kind of news, and they are gradually attracted by the various questions raised by the newspaper. attention.

After questioning by roommates, Sabo's words also verified the authenticity of the contents of the newspaper. The terminal station of the uncertain object was indeed very humid in Sabo's memory, and it shouldn't be burned so easily.

Sabo has always been very worried about Luffy and Ace. After learning about the news of the fire from the newspaper, he wrote several letters and sent them out. He didn't know if Luffy and Ace could receive them or if they were safe.

"Hey, big news!"

On this day, Sabo and the other three were chatting in the dormitory, when the last roommate in the dormitory of the four of them, a young man named Ander, broke into the room bluffing.

The identity of this person is different from Elijah Reid from a family of doctors, Hughes Holt from a slum, and Sabo from a foreign nobleman. He is the child of a gunner on a pirate ship under William.

Ander has a cheerful personality, quite familiar, and is very gossip, likes to inquire about various news, he is the recognized eyes and ears in Sabo's dormitory.

Because his roommate Sabo was born in Goa Kingdom, and he was very worried about the news of the unknown destination, Ender, who is an inquirer, has been paying close attention to the news of Goa Kingdom recently.

Fortunately, due to the long-term hype of "Donghai Shimbun", there are many local people who pay attention to the news of this neighboring country, so it is easy for Ender to find out new news outside.

"What's the big news?" Elijah Reid, who was well-educated, didn't like Ender's style very much, and asked with a frown.

Ander swallowed: "Have you heard, the latest news in Donghai News, the fire at the terminal of uncertain objects is arson."

Elijah Reed said impatiently: "We have already guessed the news. The fire is so big and the place is so humid. Is there any other possibility besides man-made? Didn't the newspapers say it a while ago? It is very likely. The fire was set by bandits, these criminals are simply inhumane, yet they had the heart to set such a big fire and burn so many people to death."

Although Elijah Reid scolded bandits, Ender was still a little upset, so he curled his lips and said: "Wrong, the latest news, the culprit of arson is not bandits, not criminals, but the ruler of Goa Kingdom, those gangs Your lord and your lord the king!"

Bang!

Sabo on the side lost his mind for a moment, and the water glass in his hand fell to the ground.

The other two were equally dumbfounded, and Elijah Reed asked in disbelief: "Why did they do this?"

"Who knows? It wasn't mentioned in the newspaper." Ender spread his hands.

"What about the newspaper?" Elijah Reed groped around him, trying to find the newspaper and see what was written in the news for himself.

"Where do I have spare money to buy newspapers?" Ender patted the other party's hand away. "I borrowed other people's newspapers to read the news. There was no reason written on it, only that they were still investigating."

Everyone in the dormitory was silent for a moment. These are just teenagers and even the new generation of children, and it is still difficult to accept such cruel news.

"The indeterminate terminus of the Kingdom of Goa has always been compared with our slums, right?" Hughes Holt murmured to himself after a long time: "I thought His Majesty the King of our country was already crazy enough. That's right, I didn't expect the king of the Kingdom of Goa to be even crazier, I was wrong, and I will never scold His Majesty Norton I with others in the future, I want to thank him for his kindness of not killing him for so many years..."

Sabo, Ander, Elijah Reid and the others were all speechless after hearing the words.
