Chapter 123 I can’t help but speak out (5-star review required)
Gel came back to his senses and felt a little sympathy for the old man in front of him.
It seems that the old man doesn't have many years left to live. There is no need to kill him because of a misunderstanding.
With a plan in mind, Gel sat down on the sofa and said nonchalantly to the white-haired old man who was still lying on the ground "unconscious":
"Hey uncle, I think you should have woken up a long time ago. You have been eavesdropping on our conversation for so long, there is no need to continue pretending to be unconscious."
"..."
You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
This old man's eyelids moved noticeably when Moria said he wanted to get rid of him directly, and now he is still pretending to be unconscious.
Seeing that he was still lying on the ground motionless, leaving him alone, Gel didn't get angry and could only spread his hands and smile helplessly.
"Okay, since you feel this position is more comfortable, just lie there and listen to me."
Geer fell back, leaned on the soft backrest of the leather sofa, crossed his legs and said slowly:
"Sir, your ability is the falcon form of the Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruit, so your identity is the strongest warrior of the Alabasta Kingdom, one of the two people known as the guardians of Alabasta, right?"
At this point, the old man on the ground blushed.
As an animal-type devil fruit user, no matter how weak his strength was, his physique and recovery ability were still far superior to ordinary people, so Kit had actually woken up a long time ago. At this moment, he only felt his cheeks burning, and he felt extremely ashamed in his heart. He wanted to shout:
Please stop talking!
What strongest warrior? What guardian angel? He was defeated in a few moves and now he is tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the ground. How can he still have the face to bear these titles? It's really embarrassing to say it out loud!
Gel noticed the change in his expression and thought it was very funny. He suddenly changed the subject and said in a cold tone:
"Hehehe, according to my companion's description, when you met on the street today, there were three of you in total. The person who can let you, the guardian god, act as a guard must at least be a member of the royal family of the Nefertari clan, right?"
Kit was stunned, but what Gel said next made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
"And you and another person called the young man who was knocked down 'Young Master', so that man should be the prince of Alabasta, right? Let me guess."
"Oh, now I remember. His name should be Nefertari Cobra! He's a big fish, so he should still be in this town, right? Maybe he's looking for you everywhere? Hehe!"
"You...what do you want to do!"
Kit was completely panicked and could no longer pretend to be unconscious. He struggled to sit up from the ground, his old and turbid eyes wide open as if he wanted to kill Ger with his eyes.
Only then did Kit see clearly that inside the house, the giant who had captured him was standing behind the sofa, and next to him was another man who was as big as him and looked even stronger sitting on the ground to the left of the sofa.
The two men were sharing something he had never seen before. Each piece of food looked like intestines and was blood red. They were biting and pulling the food in a very brutal manner. Their hands and mouths were all stained scarlet. The scene looked extremely bloody and horrifying!
But what frightened him the most was the young man sitting on the sofa and looking at him with a smile!
This man is not only clear-headed and meticulous, but he also has two powerful subordinates who obey his orders!
In addition, he showed that he was very familiar with all kinds of information about Alabasta. He was able to deduce all the key points of the entire incident with just a few clues. It was obvious that he had conducted a detailed investigation of Alabasta and the Nefertari clan. So what conspiracy was he planning?
Kit is terrified when he thinks about it! Alabasta is going to experience a catastrophe this time!
"What on earth do you want to do! I warn you not to act recklessly. Alabasta has hundreds of thousands of warriors, and I am just one of the old scouts!"
Kit pretended to be calm. He couldn't think of anything that could balance the other party or make them feel afraid. He didn't have enough confidence and could only rely on bragging to boost his morale.
"Hey, isn't it obvious what I want to do?"
Just when Kit was horrified and thought he would hear something about kidnapping the prince, supporting a puppet regime, or killing the Nefertari clan to seize power and usurp the throne, he heard Gol laughing harmlessly:
"Of course it's to scare you awake! What else can I do?"
"Nani?"
Kit couldn't keep up with Ger's train of thought at all, and he went into a state of complete shutdown.
"Lao Mo, untie him."
Even after all the ropes on his body were untied, Kit still stood there in a daze without moving.
"Alright, sir, you can go back now. You know the whole story. We are just a group of passers-by. You were the first to cross the line. It was reasonable for my partner to attack you. I don't think it's necessary to kill someone for a small misunderstanding, but I hope you don't take my kindness as weakness and do something irrational. We are not good people with noble character!"
"Hehehehe! Remember our boss's words well!"
Moriah threw the rope aside and added some nonsense like a lackey of the villain.
Gel didn't want to have any intersection with the royal family of Nefertari. Since he is neither a father nor a mother, why bother wasting time educating him?
But since the person has come to me on his own initiative, it would be a shame not to criticize him.
In the world of pirates, almost all kings who "love their people like their own children" will govern their country in a mess. Either the people are living in poverty or the country is occupied by pirates. Maybe in Oda's view, loving the people like their own children is soft-hearted + stupid, and Cobra, the future king of Alabasta, is a representative figure among them.
First, he believed in the pirates and took the initiative to invite the wolf into the house. As a result, he was no match for them in terms of political skills or force. All the bad things done to Crocodile made him famous and he became a hero in the eyes of the people. Even his Barot Studio has secretly controlled the entire country. As a result, the pirates made Alabasta a mess. It can be said that Cobra's incompetence indirectly killed countless people.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a good daughter and the Straw Hat Pirates who came to help him just happened to have the aura of the protagonist, he would have been played to death by Crocodile, and the thousand-year-old Alabasta would have been destroyed in his hands long ago.
When everyone was holding a celebration party in the palace after defeating Crocodile, he actually instigated a group of people to peek at his daughter taking a bath. This kind of brainless behavior is really incomprehensible, and can only be forcibly explained as the terrible island culture.
Kit slowly stood up from the ground. He did not leave immediately, but looked at Gel and asked seriously:
"I will explain the misunderstanding that happened today to Your Highness. If you are really just traveling and passing through, I can guarantee that Alabasta will never take any other actions against you. I wonder if you can guarantee that you will never take action against Alabasta?"
"Haha, uncle, are you still asleep? Why should I promise you?"
Gel said with sharp eyes and bluntly.
"this…"
Don't strong people like to make promises all the time? Something like "I'm a jerk, if I say I won't hit you, I will definitely not hit you" or something like that, which makes people feel very relieved when they hear it.
Why doesn't this person play by the rules?
Kit didn't know how to respond for a moment.
