Chapter 561 Betrayal of the town and commotion
Fang Xing didn't pay much attention to the shopkeeper's warning.
"You look uh... more lively than the other shopkeepers."
The owner paused for a moment before continuing: "I just came to this street not long ago, and my expression will be more natural. After a long time, I have no desire for life, so naturally I will be more indifferent. In this place, abandoned people will always meet It is because of this that this street can continue. When I first came here, I was also taken in by this shopkeeper, but he made some mistakes and was taken away. I am afraid..."
He didn't go on, but no one understood what he meant.
"Sorry." Chopper said comfortingly.It can understand this feeling better than anyone, when the benefactor passes away before its own eyes.
"What is your transaction method here?"
The owner of the store seemed to be a little suspicious of Fang Xing's purpose of asking this sentence, "Why do you ask such a question, and what kind of transaction is important?"
"..I thought Bailey was used for trading on this street, but just now you said that...Pelé doesn't seem to be of any use here."
Fang Xing's explanation made the shop owner respond, "In this street, because we are all slaves, we don't have the right to use Bailey. The usual food is also self-sufficient, and there is little shopping. , If most of them are bartered. For example, if you take my cake and go to the next place to exchange their food, I think they will not refuse."
The owner started to hand over the prepared food to Fang Xing and Qiaoba, and then asked, "But...do you have Bailey?"
"When they were taken as slaves, they were not taken away, and some remained."
Chopper looked at Fang Xing strangely, but did not expose his lie.
"Is that so... why were you abandoned?" the shopkeeper asked plainly, but what was concealed under the plainness was excitement.
Fang Xing is extremely sensitive to these details, and he can easily see it.He didn't answer this question, and kept silent, while Chopper couldn't find a reason to answer.
"... All in all, it shouldn't be a happy thing, just stay here, the previous things are over." The shopkeeper explained.
"I want to try the food from other places first, will they refuse?" Fang Xing asked.
"Bring the cake I made, maybe it can be exchanged."
"Okay." Fang Xing took it and explained: "Chopper, you stay here, I'll be back later."
When saying this, Fang Xing hinted at Qiaoba with his eyes.
Chopper blinked excitedly, and responded with that clumsy movement. Fortunately, the store manager didn't see it, otherwise he would have seen its unusual reaction.Chopper understood what Fang Xing meant. This was a signal they had set in advance, implying that there was a problem here.
Fang Xing smiled and walked away. Although Chopper's acting skills were clumsy, the other party didn't know Chopper, and would only think that it was the special character of cherishing the beast.
Fang Xing was not the only one who discovered the problem, Sanji Reilly, including Herbert, and Modri, they all noticed it.
After returning to the shop, Fang Xing found a reason to take Qiaoba away.Although the store manager wanted to keep him, under Fang Xing's insistence, he had no choice.
Everyone gathered outside the street, and Sanji was the first to express his opinion, "There is a problem here, they are all too enthusiastic."
"Isn't enthusiasm bad?" Herbert said with a smile.
But the others were not deceived by his smile, and this guy must have seen the problem too.
Raleigh drank the wine, looking like a sloppy drunk. It had to be said that the fine wine of the Holy Land Marie Gioia was definitely the best wine brewed in this world.After he took a few sips of fine wine, he also expressed his opinion, "There is no problem with enthusiasm, but if it is too enthusiastic, there can only be a problem."
Nothing happens for no reason. This street plays a cruel role in the Holy Land of Mary Gioia. People born in such an environment still have the so-called "passion", which can only be said to exist in itself. question.
Chopper looked bewildered, and it was the only thing he didn't see among the crowd.
"The uncle just now... doesn't look like a bad guy." It said.But when it doesn't look like an answer, it has actually believed other people's words by default.
"When we just passed by, I observed. I didn't just observe the food, but also observed the expression by the way. There was a little excitement hidden under the numb expression, while the owner of the booth next to him showed a little disappointment emotions. When I said that I have Pele, he was like a hunter who was about to catch the prey, showing excitement and joy. What made me doubt is that when I asked him about the trading method, he was in covered up."
Fang Xing casually took out the cake that the shopkeeper had just given him, and weighed it in his hand.
"Is there a problem with the cake?" Chopper asked.
"There is nothing wrong with these cakes, but their purpose is to show other shop owners that I have been contracted." Fang Xing said.
"It's terrible..." Chopper said in horror. Just now, it thought it was a friendly gesture from the other party, and it didn't see the problem at all.
"The human heart is inherently difficult to guess," said Herbert.
"This small town is full of betrayals. The so-called trading method is just to find out the mistakes made by others, and then report them to get something. Tianlong people seem to be very happy to see this kind of mutual betrayal between people."
Modri also nodded with some sighs. The intrigue among pirates is indeed unpredictable, and he has seen too much.Although the Herbert was a little unreliable, at least he hadn't betrayed him.But the small town in front of him reveals a naked betrayal.
After being stunned for a moment, Chopper reacted, "Then the former store manager he said made a mistake and was taken away, isn't it?"
"It should be what he reported, but the former store manager is probably not a good character. His purpose of taking him in is mostly to find out the problem and report it."
After being silent for a while, Fang Xing continued, "He was right about one thing. This is a place where slaves were abandoned, but this place is more like a game played by the Tianlong people. Between friends, there are often things with Gambling games, truth-telling adventures, poking out the other party's cover-ups to get ridicule, etc. And this is a game between Tianlongren and Tianlongren. The slaves with secrets are abandoned here, and each The slaves of the Celestial Dragons are all rewarded for uncovering the other's hidden secrets... This reward is even freedom, because of fear these people want to know the secrets hidden by the other party more than anyone else."
"So... when we entered, they thought we were also here to participate in the game?" Chopper said.
No matter what the game is, the rookies are the weakest, and they are the prey to the hungry beasts.
Fang Xing nodded, "This is a small town of betrayal. All the people here are looking for life in the numbness derived from betrayal and betrayal. It's really disgusting. I wanted to relax, but on this occasion Instead, it got heavier."
"Don't have any hope from the very beginning. This is the territory of the Celestial Dragons, and everything is for them. With their common sense... abnormal is normal." Herbert said.
"Alcohol is fine." Raleigh shook the bottle in his hand.
"Compared to this... it seems that the World Conference is about to start." Fang Xingdao.
He looked in another direction, his line of sight was blocked by a high wall, but behind the high wall, the area divided was the gathering place of kings from all over the world convened by this World Conference.
……
There is only one week left until the World Conference is held.
Most of the allied countries that joined the world government have already arrived, and they are unwilling to miss this important meeting.
But there was a piece of news that made them panic when they arrived, and that was the news that the Four Emperors were about to gather to attack the holy land of Mariejoa.
At the beginning, most people didn't believe it.But in the face of the news that spread later and the accurate news of the movements of the Four Emperors, they had no choice but to believe it.It looked like someone was deliberately fueling the flames. Most of the kings present could see it, but they didn't dare to bet their lives.
Qing Zhi, who was in charge of the defense, yawned. His task was to sit in and protect this area.
During the World Conference, if the gathered king had an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable.In the case of losing the king, the kings in most places will cause riots and even wars due to desire and ambition.
In order to prevent this from happening, there must be an admiral sitting in command all the time, and Qingzhi was chosen as the candidate.
Although he was yawning, he remained vigilant.
"General Qingzhi. The kings outside came to request again, and told them the accuracy of this rumor."
Qingzhi blinked, then yawned again, her face was a bit dazed when she just woke up.He can't say that the rumors are true, you should leave now.
"It's really troublesome." Qingzhi muttered.
The navy below heard his voice clearly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"..How do I reply?" He asked for instructions.
"Just tell them it's true." Qingzhi said.
"But..." This might cause panic, the navy wanted to say, but was interrupted by Qingzhi.
"Continuing to hide it is useless. Someone is spreading the news. If this matter is false, it can be suppressed. But this matter is true. No matter how you cover it up, you can't hide it in the end. By then The consequences would be more serious."
This is not childish alarmist talk, most of the kings are the highest nobles who enjoy wealth, and they cherish their lives more than others.After knowing that the four emperors are about to jointly attack the holy land of Maryjoa, they will probably be shocked and afraid, but they will not take any real action.But when this matter is related to them, when they can't escape, it is possible to do anything.
Qingzhi didn't want to bury this hidden danger on the sidelines, besides, the World Conference, when the Four Emperors were preparing for a joint attack, was already just an empty shell in name.If war really broke out, it would be troublesome to evacuate and protect these nobles and kings.
"Yes." The sailor replied.
He immediately conveyed the accuracy of the rumor according to General Qingzhi's request.
After being confirmed by the navy, the king showed a frightened expression on his face.
"..Yes, they haven't come yet, I have to leave quickly!"
"How could the World Conference be held at such a time! Really..."
"Leave quickly, those pirates are a group of bloodthirsty and brutal guys. I heard that because the neighboring kingdom offended BIG.MOM, they did not deliver desserts in time. Turn it out" The man who spoke was trembling, as if he was terrified by what he was telling.
"But what about the world conference? The world government never said it would be cancelled. They kept it from us at the first time, and they must have meant that they didn't want us to leave. Maybe this is a false rumor? The purpose of the Four Emperors is not here at all. , how could a pirate dare to attack the holy land of Mariejoa, which is the territory of the world's noble Tianlong people."
"Are you an idiot? Arrogant pirates can't do anything. They will definitely be dealt with by Lord Tianlong, but it's not worth it if we are affected. Let's find a place to hide first."
"Which country are you the king of, how dare you speak to me in that tone, I want to start a war!"
There was panic, and the kings were terrified of the impending war.It was also because of this fear that they lost the composure and grace they had maintained in the past.
Suddenly someone said: "The kingdom of Alabasta is attended by the princess."
I didn't pay much attention to this sentence. Although the Kingdom of Alabasta is a big country, it has become weak under Crocodile's encroachment.Not many countries would be afraid of Alabasta at this time, but the participation of the princess made these kings realize that this meeting does not need to be attended by themselves.
"This meeting is entrusted to you." The king, who was far away, handed over this power to his confidant minister.Even though it is a dangerous task, the ministers cannot refuse, because under the fear of death, these kings will become irrational beasts, if they refuse, they will die, and they may be able to survive safely if they stay here, By the way, you can build a good credit.
"Choose a member of the royal family to participate." The king who is close, relying on the navy's routes and currents, can complete a round trip within a few days, and they are completely in time.
"Princess Weiwei, let's leave... If it is really a joint attack by the four emperors, it will be difficult for even the Holy Land Mariejoa to defend." Bell, who was in charge of protecting Princess Weiwei, said.
Weiwei shook her head, she stood quietly in the corner, her face didn't change at all because of the news.
"This meeting, I will do my best to strive for peace as much as possible," she said. "I'm not going to leave until the meeting is over."
Bell's expression froze, and he had to sigh that compared to other flustered kings, Princess Weiwei was more like a real royal family.
