Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Port town, Yaruga.

Unlike Rapeseed Flower, a bustling port city that is rich in perfume, Yaluja is just an inconspicuous seaside town. It is not an exaggeration to call it a village, with a permanent population of only a hundred people.

Outsiders rarely visit here, and most of the residents make a living by fishing, and their lives are peaceful and stable.

But in the early morning of this day, people who were going to go fishing suddenly discovered something strange at sea.

Through the binoculars they saw a wrecked mid-size galleon heading towards their port.

"Hey, hey, why is there a big ship coming here?"

"Is it a pirate ship?"

"No, there is no black skull flag on it."

"navy?"

"Don't be kidding, the ship looks like it's sinking, and one of the masts is broken!"

"Is it a refugee ship?"

"It's possible. Anyway, it's easy to say that it's not a pirate. Let's save people first!"

"..."

The people of Alabasta have always been warm and kind, especially the fishermen of Aruga.

They hurriedly drove the boat away from the dock to make room for the medium-sized sailboat.

Then, two more experienced fishermen held flags and waved signals at the medium-sized sailboat to help the people on board to land.

Under the guidance of the fishermen, the broken medium-sized sailboat stopped smoothly.

The planks were lowered from the deck and rested on the pier.

A group of embarrassing and strangely dressed people got off the boat, about a dozen of them.

Including those who did not get off the boat, there were about thirty people in total.

They clearly came from the sea, but each wore a long robe and wrapped themselves tightly, like travelers walking in the desert.

And those robes are obviously not serious clothes, they are tattered.

At the same time, there is another point that fishermen are very concerned about.

Among these people, there are guys with normal builds, but there are also some who are too tall, and their stout figures are intentionally hidden under the robes.

The townspeople were curious and surrounded them one after another.

The mayor of Yaluja is a respectable old man with long beard.

The old man approached and bowed slightly to the robed man at the front.

"Young traveler, welcome to Aruga in Alabasta, are you in any trouble?"

The robed man took off his hood, revealing a tired and thin face.

"Hi, old sir, no offense intended."

"My crew and I were attacked by pirates, the ship was on the verge of sinking, and all the supplies were taken away."

"We need supplies, and materials to repair the ship - we will pay for it, please allow us to stay here for a while."

Hearing this, the old man the mayor also heaved a sigh of relief.

This young man is very polite, obviously not a vicious pirate.

And looking at them, it is obvious that they have drifted at sea for a long time and suffered a lot.

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Of course, children, you can stay here for a long time, let your crew members come down, and I will arrange accommodation and food for you."

However, the young man repeatedly shook his head and refused.

"No, it's better not to trouble you, we just live on the boat."

"It's... alright."

Seeing that the young man insisted, the old man, the mayor, did not insist.

He then began to discuss with the young man the need for supplies and replenishment materials.

After all, Yalujia is just a small town, and the most lively place is the only tavern, so many supplies and ship repair materials need to be purchased in the neighboring city.

...

Here, the young man is discussing with the mayor.

On the other hand, the townspeople were a little curious about the group of weird guests who came from the sea.

A little girl sneaked past and came to a tall and weird figure.

The little girl was really too small, and the tall weirdo was very nervous. His attention was all on the young man and the mayor, so he didn't notice her existence.

Curiously, she lifted a corner of the tall weirdo's robe, and suddenly saw something.

"Wow!"

The little girl exclaimed, and shouted to the mother beside her: "Mom, this uncle's skin is so strange, it's actually blue!"

Swish!

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the pier suddenly became uncomfortable.

The tall weirdo hastily grabbed his robe and tried to run to the boat.

The little girl didn't pay attention, and was brought down by the robe and fell to the ground. Tears burst out of the corners of her eyes.

"Ugh...it hurts..."

The tall weirdo turned his head, as if he wanted to help the little girl up.

The little girl's mother took the first step and hugged her daughter.

Looking up, she also saw the bluish-blue skin of the tall weirdo hidden under the robe, and also saw the face hidden under the hood.

The mother's eyes widened and she exclaimed.

"Fish... a murloc! It's a murloc!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the pier became tense, and the men immediately picked up their harpoons, protecting their families and children behind them.

call……

The sea breeze blew, and the tattered robes were blown up by the wind, revealing the true colors hidden under the robes.

It was a group of mixed humans and murlocs.

There are few human beings, only a few people, but there are many murlocs.

Their faces were all exhausted, and their expressions became dazed and helpless because of the reactions of the people around them.

Among them, the tall murloc who wanted to support the little girl, because of the reaction of the little girl's mother, took several steps back one after another, ready to jump into the sea at any time.

Seeing this, the young man who was in communication with the mayor's old man immediately reached out to stop him.

"Please, please stop!"

He stopped in front of the murlocs, and the actions of the other humans did the same.

"We mean no harm, please don't do this!"

"enough!"

The tall murloc shook his head, put his arm on the young human's shoulder, "We don't belong here, let's go..."

Hearing this, the young man bit his lip and planned to turn around and leave.

The rest of the townspeople still looked nervous, but also somewhat puzzled.

They have heard that murlocs are a savage and ferocious race, very dangerous, but now they show a little... pathetic?

And this group of murlocs are actually on the same boat as humans. Where did they come from?

The old man of the mayor waved his hand to signal the townspeople to put down the weapons in their hands, and then said to the young man:

"Don't go, your boat can't support you to the next island, let alone the murlocs, you will die in the sea."

The young man put on his robe again, and said slowly, "Thank you for your kindness, old man, but we swore we would not leave our friend alone."

friend……

Are humans and murlocs friends?

The residents of Yaluja couldn't understand it, and neither did the mayor.

But the old man is very clear that the essence of these people in front of him is called "life".

It is impossible for him to let those lives like the townspeople die.

So the old man waved his hand, ignoring the surprised eyes of the townspeople, and said, "Stay here, you can temporarily stay in the town's tavern, but don't harass the town's residents."

The young man turned around, smiled wryly and nodded.

...

A group of murlocs and humans got off the boat.

They went straight to the tavern arranged by the old man the mayor.

At the same time, the old man also said to the big man in charge of the town's security: "Let everyone try not to get close to that side, and then immediately report the matter here to His Majesty the King."

The big man nodded, and contacted the nearest King's Army stronghold with a phone bug.

...

Ever since, this report fell into the hands of Cobra and Rowan.

Cobra stroked his chin.

"Master Ancestor, the people from the world government have not arrived yet, should we be more cautious now? After all, the murloc issue is very sensitive."

Rowan shook his head, then got up.

"No, I'm going to see for myself."

On the table not far away, there is a newspaper from a few days ago, with the headlines from that time printed on it——

Fisher Tiger, the murloc, climbed up to the holy land of Maryjoia with his bare hands, triggering the Maryjoya riot.
