Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Rowan had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the operational efficiency of the World Government—especially in terms of the Celestial Dragons.

The three returned to Albana all the way from Yaruga, and arrived at the palace smoothly in the early morning of the next day.

Luo Wen ordered someone to send the sleeping Wei Wei back to her own room.

Afterwards, Rowan and Crocodile also planned to rest, but they saw Cobra with a distressed face.

"Just received the news that the people sent by the world government are here."

Cobra said, "It's the representative of the navy."

"oh?"

Crocodile raised his eyebrows, "Admiral dispatched?"

Cobra shook his head and said, "No, it's the two lieutenant generals."

Crocodile was a little surprised, and said with a dark smile: "Hehehe, it seems that an emperor eight hundred years ago is very 'threatening'!"

At first glance, the weight of two vice admirals is far less than that of an admiral.

But Crocodile can see the clues.

If the general was directly asked to take action, it would be tantamount to directly declaring war on Luo Wen himself, and the two lieutenant generals were obviously much more peaceful, and the meaning of communicating and probing was more obvious.

The World Government's move means that they don't want to completely tear themselves apart from the man who claims to be Ryan Rowan before they thoroughly find out the details of the other party.

reason?

Of course, because in history, there was such a person as Ryan Rowan!

"First of all, I would like to ask the two generals to talk about it. It is a very steady approach. It is probably the strategy of the guy from the Warring States Period."

Crocodile found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile, "Who is here? Flying squirrel? Huoshaoshan?"

"No."

Cobra shook his head again, "They are Lieutenant Admirals Crane and Garp of the Navy Headquarters."

As soon as this remark came out, Crocodile's face changed suddenly.

His eyes trembled slightly, and he didn't know what was thinking in his mind.

After a while, he grinned dryly and looked at Luo Wen.

"Well, I admit, I did underestimate the name Ryan Rowan."

Crane, Garp——

How many people can there be in this sea who can make these two "Lieutenant Generals" dispatch at the same time?

...

According to the information obtained, the naval team will arrive in Albana around evening.

Rowan told Cobra about the Murloc Village.

Finally, he patted the current king of Alabasta on the shoulder.

"The rest is up to you!"

After saying that, he went back to his room to rest.

People always need to rest, especially after a long day and night.

Seeing this situation, Cobra felt a little helpless, but still nodded seriously.

Regarding the administrative system of the former Alabasta Empire, there are records in the history books of the Neferutali family——

Externally, the emperor Ryan Rowan conquered all powerful enemies;

Internally, Neferutali, who was the prime minister at the time, handled the cumbersome government affairs.

The combination of internal and external has created that huge and powerful empire.

And now, Rowan's thinking seems to be the same.

He didn't care about the title of "king", but continued to move towards a more distant goal in his heart as always.

As soon as he made a move, an unheard of murloc village was established in the human country!

Cobra couldn't help sighing, feeling a deep pressure in his heart.

Can I be on par with Neferutari himself back then?

After thinking for a while, Cobra got up and went on to deal with government affairs.

He needs to arrange for the king's army to pay attention to the sea conditions around Yaluja, so as to prevent other slave traders from following and harassing Yaluja and the residents of Murloc Village.

There's nothing wrong with doing more, as always has been the case with this dedicated king.

...

evening.

Rowan left the room and ate something.

The navy team seemed to be still on the way, and Rowan was bored waiting, so he brought Icarem, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, to play chess with him.

In the study room, the two sat cross-legged on both sides of the chessboard.

"Well! Ancestor, although I don't want to boast, I am proficient in the Alabasta military flag!"

The curly-haired man let out his trademark laugh.

As the captain of the guard who has served the Neferutali family for many years, it is not surprising that Icarem calls Rowan the ancestor.

According to him, Rowan was the ancestor of the name "Alabasta" itself, as any citizen of the country could call him.

"Let me compete with the ancestors!"

Icarem smiled confidently.

...

After one hour.

All of Icarem's confident curly hair had been drooped.

He tremblingly picked up a chess piece, but he couldn't drop it.

"I lost……"

Icarem's expression was rather complicated.

Because that was not the first game he lost, but the tenth!

There is no doubt that the entire ten games of chess were a disastrous defeat!

Icarem's head was a little dizzy. After all, the average time for a plate of the Alabasta military flag is about one hour, and it will take longer for experts.

But now, he lost an entire game of chess in an average of six minutes!

Icarem covered his head, recalling the game just now.

Every time I take a step, Luo Wen will follow closely behind, without the slightest stagnation, let alone the slightest mistake or flaw.

Every step seemed to take into account the direction of the entire chess game.

Icarem even had the illusion that the person sitting in front of him was not a human being at all, but a ruthless machine that only knew the correct result!

Luo Wen smiled, looking a little unsatisfied.

"Let's have another game, how about I let you five pieces this time?"

"that……"

Icarem was a little tangled, the pressure from playing against Rowan had already made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he was embarrassed to say so.

I can't stand it anymore...

Just when Icarem was about to decline Luo Wen, an old voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Let me play the next game too, how about it?"

Rowan and Icarem followed the sound and saw an old woman with gray hair.

She wore a simple ponytail and a light blue shirt. Although her face was wrinkled, her dark blue eyes exuded the light that belonged to young people.

And behind that mother-in-law, she wore a justice cloak that represented the navy!

The mother-in-law supported Icarem, and sat opposite Rowan under the surprised gaze of the other party.

she smiles.

"Alabasta military flag, the old man will also have some."

Luo Wen looked at the other party, nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand: "Ms. He, please."

"Ho Ho Ho, it's an honor to be called 'Madam' by His Majesty the Emperor eight hundred years ago."

Grandma He smiled kindly, but the faint aura emanating from between her brows made Icarem shudder beside her.

Granny Crane picked up a chess piece, turned to Icarem and said:

"Young brat, you've suffered a crushing defeat, let's take a break first."

Afterwards, Granny Crane dropped the first chess piece.

As before, Rowan's pieces followed.

Icarem, who was watching the battle, frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking about the solution to this move.

here? still there?

No, my head started hurting again...

Granny He smiled and shook her head, still slowly picked up a chess piece, and then dropped it steadily.

This scene made Ikalem stunned.

Because at the moment that chess piece landed, most of the astonishing sense of oppression exuded by Luo Wen suddenly disappeared.

Granny Crane smiled and taught:

"The chessboard is the same as the battlefield. Never be brought into the opponent's rhythm, otherwise it will be very tiring."

Looking at the chessboard, Luo Wen asked, "Is it the same for negotiation and probing?"

Granny He shook her head, "Not necessarily, separate people."

Luo Wen dropped a pawn and continued to ask, "What if that person is me?"

"In your case, it's best to be straightforward."

Granny Crane continued to settle.

The two talked to each other, like two old friends chatting about family affairs, but Icarem at the side knew very well how dangerous the scene in front of them was!

Whether it's Rowan or the navy mother-in-law, they all exude a suffocating sense of oppression!

Even at the World Conference, where all the kings of the franchise countries gathered together, very few people could give Icarem such a feeling!

Luo Wen smiled and shook his head, "How can I be straightforward?"

Granny Crane asked bluntly:

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Luo Wen thought for a while and said slowly:

"The sea is a chessboard."

"The people who live in it are the pawns."

Rowan picked up a chess piece, looked up and looked forward.

Lazie.

"I am, the chess player."
