The Black Duke of the Pirate

When he returned to the factory that night, he found Barron waiting for him.

"Reinhardt, the prince wants to see you." Barron walked to Dawn and lowered his voice. Dawn was slightly stunned and asked: "How is His Highness's injury?"

Barron shook his head and sighed: "I guess it won't last long."

Dawn thought thoughtfully, then nodded and said to Barron: "Wait for me here."

He turned around and went into the office, took the phone and called Bratt.

"Brother?" Bratt was a little confused as to why Mingxiao was calling at this time.

Dawn paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said: "I want to enter the palace now. You move the soldiers from the city defense town to the vicinity of the factory."

"Brother, are you worried about the inside of the palace?" Brat did not continue.

"I have a bad premonition, it's okay to take precautions." Mingxiao replied softly. He did have such a premonition. Clovis's critical condition came so suddenly that Mingxiao didn't believe it. In addition,

Now that Clovis wants to see him, he must have other reasons.

He had to worry about this problem, especially the safety of the factory.

"Call Moser and ask him to come back to assist you." Now that Roentgen has joined the Navy, the only ones who can help Bratt are Moser and Anubi.

Moser took Eugene and several pirates to sail on the sea and inquired about the pirate situation in nearby waters. At this time, he could only call Moser back.

"I understand." Brat replied briefly and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mingxia thought for a moment in the office, then thought about it again, and finally called Fiona, who had left him a phone number before.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Boom, boom, boom... Reinhardt, are you okay? Time is running out.

Barron knocked on the door and urged.

I called a few more times in succession, but no one got through in the end, so I stopped calling at dawn and walked out of the office.

Dawn followed Barron to the palace. Two guards with swords stood at the door of Clovis' mansion. When Barron was about to go in with Dawn, the guards stopped them.

"Get out of the way, His Highness Clovis wants to summon Reinhardt." Barron shouted coldly, but the guard pointed to Jialuo Zunzun on Mingxiao's left waist: "The prince is recovering from illness and is prohibited from carrying weapons."

Dawn had some doubts in her heart. In the past, he never left his sword without leaving his hand. Whether he was in Prince Clovis's mansion or the king's palace, he always carried weapons.

"Put down your weapons or leave." One of the guards looked coldly and stared at Mingxiao tightly. Mingxiao was slightly surprised and noticed that the expressions of the two guards seemed a little abnormal and felt a sharp aura.

These two people were not ordinary guards. He felt that the biggest difference between the two people in front of him and ordinary guards was that they did not have the aura of guards at all, they seemed more like killers.

Just when the scene was deadlocked, Barron turned to look at Mingxiao, as if asking him what he meant. Barron knew Mingxiao's character.

Dawn untied Jialuochizun from his waist, handed it to one of the guards, and said in a cold voice: "Please keep this weapon safe."

The guard took the weapon and looked at him: "Don't worry."

When I entered the mansion at dawn, I found that there were many soldiers in the mansion. They seemed very nervous when I saw Dawn coming in.

When I came to the ward, I saw Clovis lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over his body.

"Your Highness, Reinhardt is here."

Clovis woke up, his face was very pale, and he felt as if he was going to die soon.

After Barron finished speaking, he left the ward.

"Your Highness." Dawn walked over and called softly.

Clovis slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Rhine...Hart."

"Your Highness, I'm here." Dawn nodded and moved a little closer.

"If I die, will you be loyal to Princess Fiona?"

This question made Liming very surprised. At this time, he was silent for a moment, and then he answered to Prince Clovis on the hospital bed: "Your Highness, I am just an ordinary businessman, and I don't want to be involved in the struggle within the palace.

"

Clovis kept staring at him closely, as if he wanted to read his true thoughts in this way.

"Are you really unwilling to serve the royal family?" Clovis asked again, but suddenly he saw a light of palpitating light from the depths of Mingxiao's eyes. He was slightly shocked, and then his face showed uncertainty and hesitation.

A determined expression.

"Yes, this is my decision!" Mingxiao replied in a deep voice.

Serving the royal family?

No, he wants the royal family to serve him!

"There's one more thing, it's about the secret between Fiona and Fiona." Clovis nodded and didn't force it, so he spoke again.

Dawn was silent for a moment before asking: "What secret?"

"Come closer and I'm telling you, this secret cannot be known to others." Clovis said suddenly, which made Dawn slightly stunned. Then he took a step closer and heard Clovis continue: "Come a little closer."

Finally, Mingxiao lay down on the hospital bed, put his ear close to Clovis, and listened intently.

"Fiona's soul only appeared after Fiona ate the fruit."

After hearing this, Mingxiao was not surprised at all, because he had already known it through Fiona's mouth before. But what surprised Mingxiao was how did Clovis know about this? It was absolutely impossible for Fiona to tell him.

his.

At this moment, he felt that the vitality of Clovis, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly recovered, and then he felt a sharp whistling sound coming from behind.

A sudden change occurred!

At dawn, I saw that Clovis had completely opened his eyes, and his eyes still looked like a patient. Then a pair of black handcuffs appeared in Clovis's hands.

He was subconsciously surprised when Clovis' palm suddenly moved towards his left hand, too fast to react.

Oops!

Seeing the dark handcuffs, he suddenly remembered something and used all his strength to avoid the handcuffs.

Sea floor stone handcuffs!

As long as he is roasted, everything will be over. Clovis set up this situation to prepare for this moment.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that according to Clovis's actions, which seemed to be well-planned and aware of everything at this moment, he must have known that he had eaten the Devil Fruit that Kotok originally provided to the Celestial Dragons.

Everyone except Fiona knew that she had eaten a devil fruit...

She betrayed herself?

In an instant, the Hailou stone handcuff was close to Mingxiao's left wrist.

Dawn's left hand suddenly clenched a fist, and at the moment when the sea-floor stone handcuffs came closer, he suddenly turned his fist into a palm with force, a faint vibration came from the air, and then transparent ripples emanated from around the palm of his left hand.

The seastone handcuffs in Clovis's hand were paused for a second by an inexplicable force. In this second, his palms were completely out of the range of the seastone handcuffs.

The weak ripple just now was the prototype of the shock wave, which was struck with huge force. Thanks to this force, he was able to avoid it.

Although he escaped the threat of the sea-floor stone handcuffs, the rapid whistling behind him did not stop. Mingxiao twisted his body hard, but in the end, with a puff, his chest was pierced by a cross sword.
