Codex Pirates

Chapter 205 True and False

Zangao pushed his signature heart-shaped glasses, pretending to be casual and said: "I heard that the consul of the Kingdom of Navia is also from the Kingdom of Falaise."

The villagers were stunned, and someone asked curiously: "A person from the Kingdom of Falaise? Then why haven't I heard of his name in China before? And he was famous in the Kingdom of Navia?"

"This is indeed a very interesting thing," Zangao said with great interest, "This is also an anecdote worthy of attention in the circle of bards. Morgan William, the consul of the Kingdom of Navia, is handsome. He is also knowledgeable and generous, but at the same time he is aware of the sufferings of the people, related to the statement that he was born in the kingdom of Falaise, we troubadours generally have a guess."

"What guess?" As Zangao expected, the curiosity of the villagers has been aroused.

"You should know that the throne of the current king of your country is not inherited from the fathers like other countries, or the kings in the past, but inherited from the elder brother more than ten years ago. Zangao showed a meaningful expression, allowing the villagers to use their imagination, "Also, have you heard about the descendants of the previous king?"

Although Zango didn't say it clearly, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. He had been listening to Zangao's story in silence, but Kensuke, the village sheriff who didn't speak, finally couldn't help questioning at this moment: "You mean that Morgan William might be the former king's son?" Descendants, and then live among the people? Just based on these hearsay guesses?"

"I said, it's just a guess in our troubadour circle." Zangao smiled.

Kensuke shook his head when he heard the words: "This guess is a bit outrageous, the royal family is not named Morgan."

"Maybe it's for the sake of anonymity, so I followed my mother's surname." Zangao plucked the guitar, "Morgan William is the same as the royal family members of the Falaise Kingdom. They are all blond, tall, dignified, and well-educated. , and as the consul of a country, but keeps secret about his life experience, his age and timing of his rise can almost match the time when the current king came to power, isn't this worthy of doubt and association?"

As a magistrate, Kensuke is more rational. Zangao’s statement is too conspiracy theory, he doesn’t believe it, but the villagers in Kekeyasi Village don’t think like him. It is not that there is no market for such conspiracy theories among these villagers.

"But speaking of it this way, it's really strange that the previous king didn't have any descendants." A young villager rubbed his chin and said.

The companion next to him had a posture of seeing through everything: "It must have been assassinated in order to fight for the throne."

One person suddenly thought: "Maybe the royal family members are put aside first, but if Morgan William was really from our country before, can he help us?"

"Don't think about it," Kensuke said after hearing the words: "No matter where he was born, he is now the consul of the Kingdom of Navia. We are the citizens of the Kingdom of Falaise, and we are not under his control. It is better to rely on the navy than rely on him." .”

Kensuke looked at Zangao again: "Mr. Zangao said that the Morgan Pirates are basically inseparable from the consul of the neighboring country, so the Morgan Pirates don't have much hope, and they may not be willing to do it for the neighboring country. People who fought with another group of powerful pirates and were rescued by them, our situation and position may become difficult."

"Mr. Gao and Kensuke, you have also said that Aaron's bounty is so high. Let's not say whether anyone in the East China Sea Navy is willing to take risks. Even if they come, they may not be opponents?"

After saying this, the atmosphere became a little dull, and many villagers stopped talking.

After a long time, one person sighed, "Is it true that Nami is going to save 100 million Baileys to buy the village? We have so many grown-ups, but we want a little girl to save it?"

In order to let Nami do things for him honestly, Aaron deliberately gave Nami a hope. He told Nami that if he could save 100 million, he could redeem his hometown of Cocoyasi Village. Nami didn't want to tell the villagers about this. , only told his sister Nuo Qigao, but Nuo Qigao didn't want the villagers to misunderstand Nami, so he told the truth in front of the villagers shortly thereafter.

Nami and the villagers kept secrets from each other in such a weird way.

"I don't have any hope for this matter," Zangao suddenly poured cold water on, "I can see from your mouths that those murlocs have no humanity at all, and they may not abide by the agreement."

"If these murlocs really don't abide by the agreement, we can only fight," the white-haired village doctor Nagao gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "If the king and the navy don't care about our lives, don't blame us for finding people from other countries. Ask people for help, or simply sell your soul to pirates and these devils!"

...

On a piece of sea not far from Cocoyasi Village, a warship is sailing towards the island where the village is located.

On the deck, William, who had been talked about by the villagers before, was fighting swords with Aramis on the deck. Aramis was naturally not William's opponent, but at this time William covered his eyes with a black cloth, and the two sides fought for a while. Back and forth.

William was shirtless, and a faint steam enveloped his body like a mist, helping him perceive the outside world.

The reason why William blindfolded himself and competed with Aramis was because he learned some murloc karate skills from the ray murloc Croobi.

Many moves in murloc karate require murloc webs or even skin to be more effective. However, some skills, such as the use of strength and the way of perception when using water, William still thinks that they can be adopted. And learn one or two.

Murloc karate, like Isshin-ryu swordsmanship and life return, also involves their own perception, but murloc karate pays attention to the connection between themselves and external water sources, which is closely related to the identity of murlocs, because murlocs live surrounded by sea water environment.

Yixinliu swordsmanship requires the swordsman to feel the breath of the sword and all things, which is actually similar to murloc karate.

The return of life is to allow practitioners to perceive themselves, and to command all parts of the body to practice like arms, even the ends of hair can be manipulated.

But William is a devil fruit ability user of the natural department, and he is born with the ability to manipulate the related elements produced by himself. He can create and control water vapor by boiling and evaporating water sources, and he can perceive the outside world through water vapor very early.

The perception ability trained by the return of life allows William to command the water vapor he has transformed, and the iron-slashing swordsmanship of listening to the breath of all things also enhances William's ability to perceive the outside world after elementalization, and the connection between steam and water , so that although William is not a murloc, he can still use the combined perception of life return, Yixin swordsmanship, and steam fruit to replace the murloc's natural sensitivity to water sources to a certain extent, even if he can't be like a murloc. Fully manipulating the water flow can at least further deepen one's ability to control the steam.

In addition, murloc karate originally emphasized strengthening the connection between murlocs and water. Why couldn't William, who is capable of steam fruit, learn from the skills and deepen his connection with "steam"?
