Chapter 12 Mission
After refilling Nicholas's Wine Glass again, Shaki looked at Nicholas and asked, "Can you talk now?"
Nicholas finished the Fine Wine in one gulp again, and then let out a satisfied burp. He looked at Shaki and said, "This is just my guess. Aunt Shaki should know that I am very interested in many legends on the Grand Line. But according to the News I have collected, the history from seven hundred to eight hundred years ago has disappeared. We don't know exactly what happened, but the World Government should have done something to completely hide this period of History.
The Giant Race of Elbaf should know something about this period of History, after all, their Lifespan is there. However, considering the Factor that the Giant Race has never had much contact with the outside world, they don't know much either. So the Answer to the question should be with the Celestial Dragons."
"As expected, it's those Parasite?"
Shaki muttered to herself.
The Celestial Dragons are the Descendant of the 20 kings who established the World Government 800 years ago. Except for the Nefertari family who chose to go to Alabasta, all the others chose to rule on the Red Line and established the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the world nobles who call themselves "Descendant of the Creator" and claim to be gods.
They are sheltered by the Navy and CP0, enjoy all Privilege, and have always been arrogant. They regard people of other races as Slave, and even feel Insulted to breathe the same air as others.
In fact, Shaki also has some guesses about the Strength of the Celestial Dragons. Based on the performance of the Celestial Dragons, it is difficult to imagine how they managed to make the World Government and even the Navy submit. After all, they treat the Navy and World Government personnel like their own Watchdog. Even Navy Admirals are just people with a little Status in their eyes.
However, these rampant Celestial Dragons still occupy the top of all races in the world, which can only mean that they have absolute terrifying Power in their hands.
"Are you saying the Captain might be killed by the Celestial Dragons?"
Shaki frowned and asked.
Nicholas waved his hand, "Who knows, but I don't think the Captain can do what Joy Boy didn't do back then, even if the Captain is known as the Strongest in this Era. No one knows what Joy Boy knew at the time, but what is certain is that Joy Boy failed.
So Aunt Shaki, I need to consider a Back Road for my Companions."
Afterwards, the two talked until late at night before Nicholas left Shaki's Residence.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and Nicholas was practicing Sword Training naked on the Seaside of Honeycomb Island. The long Sword in his hand cut through the air, giving people a feeling of hair standing on end.
Sixteen-year-old Nicholas was not as tall as those famous people in the Pirate world, only about 1.7 meters tall. He might grow another ten centimeters or so in the future, but he doesn't have much chance to grow to two or three meters tall, after all, he doesn't have the Gene of the Giant Race in his body.
However, although his body is not as strong as Whitebeard and others, his perfect muscle lines still give people a sense of Power.
Constantly feeling the feeling from his hand, Nicholas heard Vistad's voice.
Vistad's expression was a little strange, he just told Nicholas that Rocks had a Mission for them.
Don't think that joining the Rocks Pirates is a good thing. Rocks is too lazy to do many things and will directly throw them to the squad leaders below.
"What Mission?"
Nicholas put away his long Sword directly and asked.
"It's not a difficult Mission. The king of a small country in the New World attacked the Representative sent by the Pirates to collect Tribute. Rocks wants us to kill all the Royal Family of that country to give others a Warning."
"The king of a small country, is he that fierce?"
Nicholas was a little surprised after hearing this. After all, although many countries in the New World are very powerful, and even the military strength of some countries is enough to match some top Pirates, it was the first time he had seen someone who dared to disobey Rocks's Will, especially since the other party was still a king.
You must know that ordinary Pirate may be for fame, but how much can a king of a country get by doing this? After all, being located in the New World and not a member country of the World Government, a careless move may lead to the destruction of the country.
"Who knows, maybe his brain is flooded. Anyway, there will be a few people who can't figure it out every year."
Vistad said without emotion.
Three days later, at the Wharf of Taji Island in the New World, a group of Workers who were busy suddenly saw Ships appearing in the distance, and Nicholas finally saw the Island where the Target was located.
"Vistad, let's say hello to the other side first."
"Yes, Captain."
After Vistad finished speaking, he turned and left to arrange for his Pirate to prepare for Bombardment.
"Captain, isn't our Mission just to destroy the Royal Family on this Island?"
Simon looked at the Pirate on the Deck who began to load Shells into the Cannon, and swallowed his saliva and said.
"Simon, you are still so naive. You must know that the Islands that can gain a foothold in the New World are not like those Islands in the four seas that are like weak little girls. Use your Observation Haki to 'see' that the other side is already ready to welcome us."
Nicholas said with a smile, looking at the Wharf in the distance.
When Simon heard this, he immediately unfolded his Observation Haki. Then he gradually saw a large number of Soldiers appearing on the Wharf and on the Tower on the Coast, and Cannons were all firing at them.
More than ten minutes later, Nicholas stepped onto the Wharf in a Port that was in a mess and burning with Flame everywhere.
It has to be said that in the face of absolute Strength, all Resistance is a bit pale and weak.
"You guys will definitely die a horrible death."
A Soldier who was seriously injured leaned against a pile of scattered Goods and said to Nicholas with a face full of hatred.
"Hmm."
Nicholas just nodded and walked directly towards the Castle on the mountain in the center of the Island. As for the Soldier behind him, Vistad directly stepped forward and ended his Life with an Axe.
The Pirate under his command were fighting with the remaining Resistance forces. Nicholas walked on the Street with Bell-lin, Vistad, and Simon. The originally prosperous Street seemed to have become silent because of their arrival. Even on many roadside stalls, there was still Food with residual warmth.
After taking a Grilled Squid handed over by Bell-lin, Nicholas tasted it. I have to say that although the Taste was okay, it was still a bit worse than the Taste of Sea Kings, and the Energy provided was not even a little bit worse than that of Sea Kings.
I don't know if it's because of the special reason of the Pirate world. With the increase of Strength, Appetite also began to increase. At first, Nicholas could still fill his Belly, but with the increase of Strength, only a large intake of Food could make him feel full.
This is also the reason why he wanted to hunt a Lord of the Near Sea to satisfy his hunger on his fourteenth birthday.
"Captain, we've arrived."
