The Pirate Garen

A week later, in the sea area of ​​the Goa Kingdom.

A huge warship with a banner of a dazzling golden sword flying high cut through the waves.

This is the luxurious and large flagship that Galen took over from the Creek Pirates: the Dauntless Pioneer Saber.

This ship is worthy of the title of "Dreadnought Battleship". It floats on the sea like a moving island, with sails all over the sky and cannons like a forest. There are more than 300 sailors on board.

Nami was dressed in a cool swimsuit, lying lazily on the deck under a large parasol, drinking iced juice made by the chef on board, enjoying a rare leisure life.

After hearing that Galen was going to sign a cooperation agreement with Wallace's family, Nami, who is the chief financial officer, immediately took the opportunity to pester Galen to go to the Kingdom of Goa together, and finally took this opportunity to leave public holiday travel.

Nami, who has returned to sea, is obviously much more energetic than when she was a financial officer.

She gently put the juice in her hand on the small table beside her, stretched out her fingers and felt the moist sea breeze blowing in front of her, she couldn't help but said with some joy:

"Finally freed!"

"I really should be a navigator!"

Sitting next to Nami, Galen, who was enjoying the life of the decadent ruling class, couldn't help but say:

"Aren't you the one who rushed to become the financial officer?"

"How long has it been since you stopped liking money?"

Hearing the word "money", Nami's pink and white cheeks subconsciously showed an ashen gloomy color:

"Don't talk to me about money!"

Ms. Nami, who was once able to catch the golden light in Bailey's eyes, now said with righteous words:

"The financial staff who will take over from me have almost been recruited."

"I am the most talented navigator in the East China Sea. My dream is to draw a map of the world. How can I waste my talent on those useless money!"

When she first started working as a financial officer, Nami would always be excited by the series of huge numbers on the financial statements.

Going to the company vault and rolling in the sea of ​​banknotes is Nami's favorite entertainment.

However, when more and more money is handled and the numbers are getting bigger and bigger.

Things like money have completely become a number.

Nami, whose hands cramp from counting money, can no longer regain the happy feeling of saving money like a squirrel.

"So."

Galen looked at the coastline that had been faintly revealed in the distance, and asked, "Navigator, have we reached our destination?"

"arrive."

Nami, who had already calculated the sailing time, didn't even look at it, so she simply replied:

"If we didn't deviate from the route I made, we should be on the east coast of the Goa Kingdom's big island right now."

"According to the records on the sea chart, this place should be called."

Nami thought for a while, and then used her genius brain to reproduce the huge island topographic map of Goa Kingdom:

"Windmill Village."

"We need to go around to the southwest of the big island of Goa Kingdom, which is the port of the king city."

However, Galen didn't take Nami's proposed voyage plan to heart, but focused all his attention on the "Windmill Village".

Before coming to the Kingdom of Goa, Galen thought of taking a look at Windmill Village.

"etc."

Galen looked at the increasingly clear coastline in the distance.

With his current eyesight, raising his eyes has the effect of a telescope.

On the coastline, Galen saw a huge warship that was not inferior in size to his dreadnought battleship, and there was a huge dog head bumping horn on the bow of the warship.

This warship Galen is still very familiar - because it is the exclusive warship of Lieutenant General Garp that he once boarded.

"Garp hasn't returned to the headquarters yet?"

Galen made a sound in astonishment, and Nami was startled and picked up the binoculars curiously.

Galen was a little surprised to meet Garp, the epic boss, in Donghai Novice Village again.

But on second thought:

It has been less than two months since we parted ways with Garp last time.

Karp was already semi-retired at the Navy Headquarters, so it was not surprising that he had two months of vacation.

On the contrary, he was a lonely trainee knight when he saw Garp last time, but now he is actually the "overlord of the East China Sea".

"Let's go to Windmill Village first, and then go to Wangcheng later."

Aware of Garp's existence, Galen became more and more interested in Windmill Village.

"good."

Nami nodded, she also has a good impression of Garp, a naval hero who changed the plight of her hometown with one word.

"correct."

Galen suddenly turned to Nami and said, "Before stopping the boat, there is one more important thing!"

"What's up?"

Nami's expression became dignified by Galen's suddenly serious voice.

Galen took a closer look at Nami's current attire:

In the cool bikini swimsuit, Nami's gradually long orange hair was casually placed between the delicate collarbones, and a large area of ​​fair skin was exposed all over her body.

It looks full of temptation.

Looking at this beautiful scene brimming with spring, Galen justly said what he wanted to say when he read comics in his previous life:

"Who goes out to sail shirtless?"

"Get dressed for me!"

Soon after, King Goa King City Seaport.

Although he temporarily decided to go to Windmill Village for sightseeing first, Galen still remembered to send someone to say hello to Michael's family first, lest the other party wait in vain.

The envoy who was sent was Wallace, the son of the Michael family and a loyal follower of Galen.

He took the small boat separated from the dreadnought battleship, and took the lead in arriving at the royal city of Goa Kingdom.

Seeing the Wangcheng Harbor getting closer, Wallace was filled with emotion:

He hadn't returned to the country he hated so much since he had fought his father for that job a few years earlier.

The majestic segregation system, the indifferent hierarchy, the arrogant and ignorant nobles, and the brainwashed citizens.

The Kingdom of Goa is divided into three ring-shaped areas from the inside to the outside:

Wangcheng, Gaozhen, Central Street, Border Town and the lawless places outside the city.

A little analogy is the first ring, second ring, third ring, suburbs and landfills.

After Wallace became a reporter, he traveled all over the East China Sea. There is no country in the East China Sea that he has not been to.

But Wallace could never find another country like his hometown Goa Kingdom, where residents of the same city could still discriminate against each other to such an extent.

"It's disgusting."

Even though there was a clean landscape in front of him, Wallace still couldn't help showing a look of disgust.

However, his expression immediately turned into one of astonishment:

"That's Uncle Bogkin and Father?"

Wallace looked at the group of nobles waiting on the port with some surprise:

"And the king?"

The gorgeously dressed white-haired old man surrounded by everyone is the current king of Goa Kingdom.

As the son of a high-class nobleman, Wallace naturally met the old king when he was young.

He knew that the old king basically had all the shortcomings of a nobleman, such as arrogance, ignorance, high self-esteem, and self-willedness.

However, at this time, the old king was standing respectfully on the port as a welcome sign.

Seeing the banner with a golden sword on the boat that Wallace was on, the old king waved his hand excitedly.

"Is this waiting for Lord Galen?"

Wallace murmured to himself in astonishment:

"When did Lord Galen have such a big face?"

You must know that the brain-dead aristocratic thinking of King Igoya will never treat any civilian person differently, even if the other party is the overlord who dominates one side, and is a strong man who can defeat ten thousand with one enemy.

Wallace got off the boat in a trance, and immediately saw the old king's very kind smile:

"Michael's kid, long time no see!"

The old king kindly patted Wallace on the shoulder, making Wallace stunned like a piece of wood, and completely forgot the noble etiquette that he hadn't used for a long time.

The old king was not at all annoyed by Wallace's rudeness, but said in a more genial manner:

"A young hero like you is a perfect match for my daughter!"

"Forehead?"

Wallace did not show the flattered expression that the king expected, but his expression became more and more stunned.

He subconsciously cast his eyes on his father and Uncle Bogkin, but he received meaningful eyes from the two elders in response.

In a trance, Wallace finally understood why the family tricked him back.

However, something happened that caught Wallace even more by surprise.

I saw the old king asked respectfully:

"Isn't Lord Galen here yet?"

Such a respectful tone and the honorific title of "Lord Galen" made Wallace almost think that the arrogant king in front of him was bowed down by him.

He was very at a loss, so he had to say truthfully:

"Master Galen, he went to Windmill Village to catch up with Lieutenant General Garp before arriving at the Royal City."

"Reminiscing with Lieutenant General Karp?"

The old king frowned slightly.

Although Garp came from the Kingdom of Goya, he never pretended to the nobles of the kingdom, and he would not even take a step closer to the royal city;

What's even more ridiculous is that in the eyes of nobles like the old king:

No matter how strong Garp is, no matter how high his status is, he is still a commoner inferior to them.

But for some unknown reason, the old king made a detour:

"Right."

"As Lord Galen, he will indeed have contact with the high-level navy."

Wallace didn't understand the situation at all, so he had to deal with this terrible social event in the past in a state of confusion.

After his father accompanied the king back to the royal city, Wallace finally seized the opportunity and ran to Uncle Bogkin and asked:

"Uncle Bogkin, what's the matter?"

Bogkin smiled and said nothing, and said after a while:

"You should have understood by now, what is the family calling you to do?"

"Competing for the qualification to marry the princess?"

Wallace gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not interested!"

"Whether you are interested or not, the family's plan has already begun."

Bogkin shook his head lightly:

"Those things you didn't understand just now are part of the plan."

"What's the meaning?"

Wallace asked puzzled.

But Bogkin continued to say in an unfathomable tone:

"A good businessman needs to know how to use information as a weapon."

"Asymmetric information, even false information, can play a very important role in transactions."

"Stop talking about that!"

Wallace said disdainfully: "Isn't it just spreading rumors?"

"I'm a reporter, how can I not know this trick?"

"What the hell did you do?!"

"nothing."

Bogkin smiled softly:

"I just told the story you told me to some drunkards and women who couldn't control their mouths through some hidden tricks."

"Story? What story?"

Wallace was even more puzzled.

"The story of that Lord Galen."

Bogkin's smile became more and more meaningful:

"For example"

"He has only one name, Garen, but mysteriously withheld his last name."

"The treasure handed down from generation to generation that even many great royal families have no chance to see is just a weapon that can be thrown at will in his hands."

"He doesn't care about possessions at all; 5 million Pele is not enough for him to buy a toilet."
