One Piece: Fist of the World

Chapter 31 Ernest Nia (New book, please read!!)

Knock knock!

Just as Rhode was getting familiar with the Armament Haki, a knock on the door woke him up from his surging emotions.

Hanging the [Shark Slash] Sawblade back on the wall, Rhode thought about leaving a room for the various weapons he had robbed.

After all, they were all treasures that had helped him.

Of course, shoes and other messy things were not needed.

With these thoughts flashing in his mind, Rhode opened his door.

"Nia, what's wrong?"

Looking at Nia standing in front of his door, Rhode looked puzzled.

"I have something to tell you, is it convenient?"

Nia held her bounty order in her hand, looked into Rhode's room, and motioned for her to go in and talk.

"It's convenient."

Leaving the door open, Rhode walked to the table, opened his small refrigerator, and got a cup of Coke for Nia.

"Do you mind if I join in?"

Nero's voice suddenly came from the door. Without waiting for their answer, he walked in, pulled a chair and sat down, staring at Nia with his green eyes.

"I can probably guess what you want to say."

"Then I'll just say it. It's not a particularly secret thing. It's just that everyone was here just now and I don't know how to start."

Nia opened the Coke and took a sip, then slapped her bounty on the table.

"Very beautiful, what's wrong."

"Look at the mark below, Rod."

After hearing what Neero said, Rod lowered his eyes and immediately noticed that Nia's bounty was different from others.

"ONLY ALIVE?"

Rod looked up at Nia in front of him.

"It's really surprising."

Rod's face was full of inquiry, and he seemed to smell the smell of a secret.

In the original world line, the only other person he knew who was treated so differently was Sanji. He was influenced by the Vinsmoke family and his bounty was changed to ONLY ALIVE.

Could it be that the catwoman on his ship also has a special background story?

"I have never told you before, in fact, my full name is Ernest Nia."

Nia looked at Rhodes steadily and said her full name.

"I am Nott Rhodes."

"That's not what I meant!"

Nia felt her fist harden.

"Ernest is a noble of the Kingdom of Dawson, and has an influence in his country that is no less than that of the king."

Nero, who was sitting next to him, added.

"Dawson Kingdom?"

Rhodes frowned slightly.

Although he did not memorize most of the intelligence content like Nero, he still knew some basic information.

The Kingdom of Dawson is a powerful country in the North Sea and one of the member countries of the World Government. Even within the World Government, it has a huge influence and has always been one of the 50 countries participating in the World Conference.

The country is famous for its strong intelligence capabilities. The military intelligence department within the kingdom is well-known throughout the underground world. It is said that it has inextricable connections with intelligence dealers all over the world.

The family that controls the military intelligence department of the Dawson Kingdom is none other than the Ornest family.

"A genius from the sideline who strikes back? Or an illegitimate daughter who is stranded outside?"

Various thoughts flashed through Rhode's mind in an instant.

The change in the look in Rhode's eyes did not escape Nia's observation. Noticing the gossip flashing in his eyes, Nia was speechless.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, my story is very simple!"

Nia said unhappily.

Unexpectedly, after revealing her identity, the first thing she got was gossip from her companions.

"I am the eldest daughter of the Ornest family, but I don't like the dark life of the family, so I left the family two years ago."

"It turned out to be a rebellious noble lady!"

"Excuse me, with the intelligence capabilities of the Ornest family, if they want to catch you back, it will only take two months at most."

Neru added silently.

As Rhode's right-hand man, he needs to assist Rhode in dealing with things he is not good at.

Whether it is external intelligence issues or internal unity issues.

"Maybe it's because Neo has been covering for me."

Since she had already said it, Nia no longer held back and told her story exactly as it was.

As the family that has been in charge of the Kingdom's Military Intelligence Department for generations, the Ernest family is destined to deal with all kinds of dark things, but Nia has never been interested in those things since she was a child.

Espionage, hiding, undercover, betrayal, assassination...

These things that the Ernest family relies on for survival all make Nia feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

So, the night before she turned 17 and officially entered the Military Intelligence Department and began to take over the family's power, Nia ran away.

Relying on the power of the devil fruit she accidentally ate, she turned into a black cat and quietly left the family without alarming anyone.

Then there were more than two years of wandering life on the sea.

"Wait, how old is your brother?"

"He is two years younger than me and should be almost 18 years old now."

"According to what you said, your brother is really an absolute genius!"

Rod pinched his chin.

"After you ran away, he took your place and took over the family affairs. He was less than 16 years old at that time, but he could already control your family's intelligence power and could cover up for you until now."

"He is different from me. He has been an absolute genius since he was a child. People in the family say that he was born for this."

Speaking of her brother, Nia's tone was complicated.

"In that case, just let your brother take over the family power. Why do you have to get involved?"

"Because of the king!"

Nia's tone was full of resentment.

"The current king, Dawson Bourbon, is greedy for pleasure and ignores state affairs, but he has a strong desire for power."

"He thinks that the power held by the Ornest family is too great, which is not conducive to his rule, so he asked the Ornest family to marry the royal family to split the power of the Ornest family and consolidate the king's rule."

"So you became the unlucky person who was married."

"Who wants to marry that old thing!"

Even after two years, Nia was still angry when she mentioned this matter.

"I am free! Whether I want to get married or not, and who I want to marry, is up to me! No matter the king or the old guys in the family, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do!"

"Well said!"

Rod stood up and applauded Nia.

"We should have such a spirit in the Rod Pirates. We are not afraid of even the Seven Warlords of the Sea, let alone the Dasen Kingdom."

"You are my partner, I will protect you!"

When Nia was not paying attention, Rod patted her head.

Speaking of which, he wanted to pat the other person's head a long time ago, especially when he entered the half-human beast form.

That's a cat-eared girl!
