Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The next day, early morning.

Rowan, Crocodile, and Weiwei arrived at a port accompanied by Jaca and the king's army.

The three of them traveled all night, but they didn't choose to rest. Instead, they led more than a dozen king's soldiers and sailors to board the ship that had been prepared for them.

This is an Alabasta medium ship.

Although the specifications are not large, the workmanship is quite exquisite, all kinds of facilities are complete, and ocean sailing is not a problem, so it can afford Luo Wen's identity.

As for the number of people accompanying him, Cobra wanted to arrange more than a hundred people, but Rowan refused.

What is the need?

Looking at the slightly joyful gravel around Rowan, Cobra realized that he had asked a stupid question.

After all, if Rowan really wanted to, the entourage could be huge——

Too big to be exaggerated.

...

start sailing.

...

In the state of advancing at full speed, it will take the ship two days and two nights to reach Magnetic Drum Island.

It was the first time for Weiwei to sail with so many people, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all.

Luo Wen asked the little princess to sit on the deck with him, enjoying the morning sea breeze, which was very pleasant.

Crocodile leaned back against the mast and lit himself a new cigar for today.

He watched Luo Wen and Weiwei talking and laughing, it was like a picture of an old father taking his daughter on a sea trip.

Thinking about it carefully, I seem to be a little redundant, and I can't help but feel uncomfortable.

Rowan noticed Crocodile's expression and said with a smile, "You also want to hear the story of the past?"

Crocodile: "..."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Luo Wen continued to ask with a smile: "Speaking of which, why are you following me?"

After all, there are no clues to Hades on Drum Island.

Crocodile took a sip of his cigar and said with a dark smile: "Hehehehe, Pluto doesn't know how to run away, and walking with you will definitely be a good pastime."

Luo Wen raised his eyebrows, "It's just a business alliance meeting, what's there to do?"

"Hehehehe, are you testing me, or are you pretending to be stupid?"

Crocodile lit a cigarette ash, and said rather annoyedly: "It is impossible for you not to know that the world government must be watching your whereabouts."

"It's okay in Alabasta. Once it goes out to sea, it will definitely attract the attention of the world government!"

Crocodile pointed to the ship at the bottom of his feet.

"If you keep a low profile and go out to sea in a small boat at night, then that's fine."

"A medium-sized ship with the Alabasta logo, such an obvious target, I'm afraid it will be targeted by the world government the moment it sets sail."

Hearing this, Rowan shrugged, "So, you judge to have fun?"

"I'm just curious what the world government would do to an emperor who was eight hundred years ago."

Crocodile grimaced and smiled, "And, what will that emperor do to the world government."

Contrary to Crocodile's expectations, Rowan answered him directly.

"anything."

"Um?"

"We can do anything to each other, big or small."

Luo Wen's eyes were calm, and he replied slowly: "However, the party doing the thing must be aware of it, so as to bear the corresponding consequences."

...

Something is wrong.

On the night after departure, Crocodile felt something was wrong.

After Weiwei took a nap after setting sail, she was dragged to the deck by Rowan, who seemed to be telling her something.

past story?

Will there be so many!

Crocodile didn't believe what Rowan said, but it was impossible for him to ask.

So he could only eavesdrop sideways.

Vaguely, Crocodile seemed to hear what Luo Wen was explaining to Weiwei, but couldn't hear the specifics clearly.

"Tsk, boring..."

Crocodile crushed out the cigar, turned and went back to the room to rest.

...

After two days and two nights.

The Alabasta ship continued to move forward, and white snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on the deck.

In the distance, you can see an island with several drum-shaped peaks.

Winter Island - Magnetic Drum Island.

Weiwei bounced out of the cabin, put on a cotton coat, gloves and earmuffs.

As for Crocodile and Rowan, people with natural abilities are more adaptable to the climate, so their clothes haven't changed much.

Black fur coat, golden light armor.

Crocodile stretched out his hand and gently pinched a snowflake, frowning slightly.

"Snow……"

Luo Wen turned his head and smiled, "You don't like snow days?"

"Of course, and you shouldn't like it either."

Crocodile frowned and said, "There is nothing wrong with a brief contact, but if the snowflakes melt into water, or plunge into a snowdrift, it is no different from getting wet all over!"

What Crocodile said is naturally the characteristic of the ability of the rustling fruit. Once it comes into contact with liquid, it will temporarily lose the ability to transform elements.

Therefore, whether it is rain or snow, he does not like places where water exists.

Rowan didn't seem to care much about it.

After all, "cannot be elementalized" is fundamentally different from the situation of "unable to use abilities" that comes into contact with sea tower stones or falls into the sea.

For Luo Wen, if you can't elementalize, there are naturally ways to play without elementalization!

Luo Wen exhaled lightly, looked up at the shore, and saw a lot of people gathered there.

Probably came to meet them.

Before departure, Cobra ordered someone to contact the diplomats on Magnetic Drum Island.

This is a necessary etiquette between countries.

"Master Ancestor, Your Royal Highness, Mr. Sand Crocodile, we are about to drop anchor at the shore, there will be bumps, please be careful!"

clack la la la...

The anchor fell into the sea, and the sailors lowered the planks connecting the deck and the pier for everyone.

Weiwei and a group of king's soldiers stepped off the wooden board, while Rowan and Crocodile turned into two sandstorms, disappeared from the deck, and reappeared on the pier.

Looking up, Rowan saw the representative of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom coming to greet them.

The captain of the Drum Kingdom Guards, the animal-type Devil Fruit Buffalo Buffalo - Dalton.

The captain of the guard team is highly regarded by the outside world.

Unlike the king who ran amok, Dalton is indeed an official who cares about the people of the country.

Friendly, loyal and honest.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for so many villagers to gather behind him to watch the excitement.

And one day in the future, Dalton will take the initiative to resist Wapol's brutal rule for the sake of Chopper and the people of this country.

But that was a long time later.

Now Dalton, because of the old king's good care of him, he still has a glimmer of hope for Wapolchamp, thinking that he will change his mind one day.

After seeing the visitor, Dalton bowed to Rowan, Weiwei, and Crocodile.

"Three distinguished guests, welcome to the Drum Kingdom. I am Dalton, the captain of the Drum Kingdom's guard."

Dalton looked up, only to find that only a few Alabasta King Army guards had walked off the ship, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Excuse me, but are these the only people accompanying you?"

Luo Wen smiled and said, "Isn't that enough?"

"No, I didn't mean that, it was just a little accident, please forgive me."

Dalton waved his hands again and again. He himself felt that his question was a bit offensive, but he still couldn't help asking.

After all, in his imagination, the visit of the emperor and princess of a superpower should be grand, but the current situation is like an ordinary trip.

At least, the king of Wapole in his own country will inevitably be grandiose and extravagant every time he travels, and he even does a lot of useless work for this purpose.

"No problem."

Rowan shook his head, indicating that Dalton didn't need to care.

Crocodile walked past Dalton.

While signaling the other party to lead the way as soon as possible, Crocodile also said with a soft smile:

"Hey, actually, if you really want to see 'a lot of people', believe me, there are a lot of them."
