Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Chapter 34: Guests from the Snow Country

Or coincidence, or mutual influence, or the illusory so-called "fate".

The abilities of devil fruit users are often closely related to their own personalities.

Such was the case with Dalton, the captain of the guards of the Drum Kingdom.

Zodiac Devil Fruit Buffalo Form - This ability endows Dalton with great strength, but he still maintains his own unique qualities.

Friendly, loyal and honest.

At this moment, he was wearing his most formal armor, standing on the pier, preparing to welcome the group of distinguished guests from the desert country alone.

He felt that this was a little rude, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After all, Wapole, the king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom at the time, didn't pay much attention to this meeting at all.

After getting the communication from Alabasta, Wapole picked his nose directly and waved his hands again and again.

"Alright, alright, the king knows!"

"Sudden visits or something, it's so troublesome, I don't bother to take care of them!"

He looked at his three ministers.

They are Kingdom Staff: Jess, Kingdom Affairs Officer: Cromarimon, and Guard Captain: Dalton.

"Who is going to receive them, Jace?"

The archer dressed like a third-rate circus performer shook his head repeatedly, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, I have an appointment with Cromarimon to accompany you to feed the furry hippopotamus!"

"Oh, also..."

Wapole scratched his head, stretched out his big iron belly, turned his head and smiled at Dalton: "Then it's hard work for you, Dalton!"

Dalton was taken aback.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, you must have seen the news a few days ago. After all, it is a special emperor and a princess from another country."

He quickly stopped and said, "Is it impolite not to meet in person just to feed the pet?"

"What's your disrespect? This king didn't ask him to come!"

Wapol frowned, and said loudly: "Besides, what if I'm being rude? They are also members of the World Government, so they dare to go to war!"

Dalton was speechless, and could only reluctantly say: "Then, Your Majesty, how many guards do I need to bring?"

"Do you still need to bring guards?"

Wapol put his hands on Dalton's shoulders, and said with a playful smile: "You are the captain of the king's guards. Going to greet him in person should be enough to save face! Hahahaha!"

In desperation, Dalton struggled for two days to no avail, so he could only bite the bullet and come alone.

...

shame.

What a shame!

Dalton was blowing the sea breeze on the pier, feeling a little ashamed of the old king who had passed away.

The dignified country of medical treatment sent only one person when receiving foreign royal families.

If it is not handled well, this matter has turned into a dispute between countries!

But Dalton didn't expect that a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

Looking back, there are more people.

They are the commoners of the Drum Kingdom.

As it turned out, Dalton's popularity among the inhabitants of the Drum Kingdom was indeed high.

After they learned of Dalton's plight, some people spontaneously gathered from various villages to the pier, wearing the traditional costumes of the Drum Kingdom, and stood with Dalton.

"Dalton, if you have any questions, tell us all, you are not enough friends!"

"I heard that you can still see a certain princess this time?"

"Stand up! Don't let people from other countries look down on our country!"

"..."

The crowd gathered and discussed.

Dalton looked at this scene, although he was moved, he couldn't help worrying.

Such a group of simple residents is far from qualified as a "guard of honor" for the king of a country.

Rather than saying that they came to greet each other, it would be better to say that it feels more like they are here to watch the excitement!

Regarding the emperor who is about to visit, Dalton had read information about him in the newspaper——

[Golden Dawn] eight hundred years ago, Ryan Rowan.

Dalton didn't know what kind of person he was. If he was an overbearing world nobleman, the behavior of the residents would most likely arouse the other party's anger.

But looking at the group of residents who came to help him specially, Dalton couldn't bear to disperse them.

As Wapole once criticized Dalton:

His biggest weakness is that he is too kind.

Worth mentioning.

Dalton exhaled lightly.

If that was really an arrogant and rude visitor, I am sure to protect the citizens behind me!

...

Dalton was relieved the first time he saw Rowan.

It was a man in his thirties who looked young and energetic, but there was a bit of stability between his brows.

Looking into his eyes, Dalton can be sure that what is filled with it is definitely not violence and arrogance, but the bearing and majesty that a ruler should have.

as expected.

After a short contact, Rowan didn't pay attention to those dispensable welcome ceremonies, and started to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Winter Island around him.

Dalton breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and bowed slightly.

"To get to the Drum Kingdom Castle, you need to take a sled to the foot of the mountain, and then transfer to the cable car. Please follow me, everyone."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Luo Wen nodded with a smile, his words and deeds were in line with the etiquette of a ruler of a country.

Such behavior reminded Dalton of the benevolent old king, and he couldn't help feeling more fond of Rowan, and relaxed a lot.

"There are many interesting scenery and animals in the Drum Kingdom. If you are interested, I will introduce them one by one on the way."

"certainly."

Rowan held a scepter and walked side by side with Dalton.

No matter in the past or now, he has a love and curiosity about the world.

The crowd passed through the onlookers and boarded several large sleds that Dalton had prepared for them.

Rowan, Crocodile, and Weiwei rode in front with Dalton, and the accompanying king's army sat on the second sled.

As for the duty of being a princess guard?

In Crocodile's words—

"hehe."

The two natural devil fruit ability users are on the left and right, and there is probably no higher level of "protection" than this in this sea!

...

The sled was pulled by several sled dogs and moved along the road.

On the way, everyone also met a huge bear with a trekking pole.

Dalton introduced: "That is a unique animal in the Drum Kingdom, a picnic bear. When you meet it, you should nod and say hello."

Crocodile raised his chin in disdain, as a greeting and to avoid trouble.

Luo Wen and Weiwei were quite amused by this, and nodded slightly to Picnic Bear.

Swish!

The sled raced past the bear on the outing.

Crocodile suddenly noticed that Rowan nodded again in the direction behind the picnic bear, and made a gesture of greeting.

"Um?"

Crocodile was a little puzzled, but the sled was moving so fast that it was too late to observe.

So he could only ask Luo Wen, "What's wrong?"

"There is someone in the woods in the distance, just to say hello." Rowan replied with a smile.

"Tsk, redundant..."

Crocodile picked up a cup of hot ginger tea provided by Dalton and drank it slowly, "Greeting hello to Orion and the like, you guys are really free."

Then, Luo Wen's voice came from next to his ear.

"Oh, they're not Orions."

Luo Wen also took a cup of hot ginger tea and handed it to Weiwei.

"Probably CP0, or CP9?"

"puff!"

Crocodile's hot ginger tea, spit it out in one sip.
