Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 212 Everyone here is happy

Miyagi of the Kingdom of Goa.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove into the palace gate.

When the carriage stopped, Ma Qiao took Wei Wei's slender hands and got out of the carriage.

Wearing a bubble suit similar to Tianlongren, Ma Qiao swaggered, with his nostrils upturned, and walked with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

But Weiwei behaved elegantly, revealing the demeanor of real golden branches and jade leaves in her gestures.

Several nobles from the Goa Kingdom gathered together and muttered.

"This new regent looks too much like a world nobleman."

"Indeed, look at his female companion, she looks like a noble girl born in a big country, but even so, her behavior is still not as good as a hair of the regent."

"What Prince Regent Ma Qiao shows is the demeanor of a real world nobleman!"

"I heard a gossip from my relatives in Beihai. I don't know if I should tell it or not?"

"Damn it, old Henry, don't hold back your appetite anymore, just talk about it!"

"Then I will just say this casually. Don't take it seriously. My relatives in Beihai once had business contacts with the Germa Kingdom. There is a strange saying from the Germa Kingdom, that is Behind the Big Bird Consortium is likely to be the shadow of the Celestial Dragon..."

"Ah! Speaking of this, I also remembered it. A few years ago, when I accompanied the former king of Sally to Marie Gioia for a meeting, I heard by chance that there were some Celestial Dragons living besides Marie Gioia. Future generations, could it be that what we have in front of us is..."

"Ah!"

Weiwei took off the glass bulb on her head and rubbed her nose vigorously:

"Uncle, there is no smell here anymore, can you take off this ridiculous headgear? This thing is really disgusting!"

"Sorry sorry..."

Ma Qiao casually took off the mask on his head and threw it aside.

Nami and Yamato, who followed behind, had already had enough of this stupid costume.

Especially Yamato, because of the pair of horns growing on her head, Ma Qiao specially made her a colorful headgear that is brave and awesome.

This made Yamato ashamed.

The actions of Ma Qiao and his party finally relieved the Goa nobles who had guessed his identity before.

It appears that the domineering regent is not really a Draco.

The real Tianlong people don't breathe the same air as ordinary people like them!
Since it is not a Tianlong person, then things will be easy to handle.

The leading noble old man secretly made a gesture to the waiter.

The waiter nodded, and brought Ma Qiao to the east banquet hall of the palace.

After the door was opened, the scene in front of Ma Qiao was somewhat surprising.

Although the furnishings here can be called luxurious, if you look carefully, they are all very old and dilapidated, and the style is completely inconsistent.

Obviously, this is a second-hand item collected by the nobles one by one.

According to Ma Qiao's understanding, when King Sally and his son left the Goya Kingdom in a hurry that day, although they took away a lot of belongings, it was impossible to take away all the furniture in the palace due to the rush of time.

Obviously these things have been repackaged and replaced with old and broken items.

The old nobleman in the lead said before Ma Qiao asked, "We have prepared a reception banquet for His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, please hurry up and take a seat!"

When the nobles of Goya received Ma Qiao, the regent, they designed two sets of plans, A and B.

Now Ma Qiao is obviously being treated as a victim, and enjoys the B-type plan of injustice.

A group of nobles invited Ma Qiao into their seats like stars and moons.

Waiters and maids still take turns serving dishes.

However, the plates on which the dishes were served were all damaged, and the dishes were so messed up that even Yamato, who had always been nervous, felt that he couldn't swallow it.

She raised the mace, and was about to perform the classic action of Brother Crow lifting the table. Ma Qiao comforted her by promising to sleep with her at night.

When we sailed together before, Yamato had to hug Macho to sleep, and he could only fall asleep listening to Macho tell bedtime stories.

Because of his figure, Ma Qiao felt that the picture could not be called so glamorous.

There were even moments when Marjorie felt the mood of brother Brooke who was sleeping in Charlotte Lingling's arms.

"Joe, these guys don't seem to be friendly!"

As a little thieves cat, Nami's life is based on observation and observation: "Since we took off our hoods, the attitude of these Goya people towards us has quietly changed!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Classmate Weiwei, who can be called a disgrace to the secret service world, cut a piece of French bread as hard as iron with a knife and fork:

"Maybe it's just because the nobles of Goa Kingdom are particularly thrifty..."

Ma Qiao and Nami gave this silly girl a supercilious look at the same time.

"Don't eat the food here. I've asked Tam to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot. We'll add another meal later."

Ma Qiao lowered his voice and instructed several people.

Because of the meal sharing system, Ma Qiao clearly saw that the plates served by the maids to other nobles were filled with exquisite snacks.

At this time, the leading elderly noble stood up and said:

"Your Highness the Regent, the Sally family has been collecting taxes for 90 years, and all the money they plundered has been invested in Marie Gioia, so there is really nothing to sell in the capital..."

"Yeah, yeah, we nobles are also having a hard time. When I got dressed this morning, I only had six servants to help me. I even put on a trouser leg myself."

"I only ate 64 dishes at noon, the days of us nobles are miserable!"

"Your Highness the Regent, you are a well-known businessman in the East China Sea. You can be said to be rich like a country. Since you have helped pay for this year's heavenly money, can you do a good job to the end and help fill the fiscal deficit of the treasury?"

The nobles started to cry and cry poorly when you said a word and I said a word.

After all, as an airborne outsider, it is impossible to become the real power controller in the Kingdom of Goa without the nods of these local snakes.

The local nobles all wanted to use the treasury deficit to give the foreign regent a blow.

Of course, it would be great if he could get a sum of money from him to enrich the national treasury.

Because if Ma Qiao didn't pay, these nobles would have to chip in to plug the hole.

Because the treasury is too important to them.

Because the isolation system is very expensive.

To keep those mud legs out, the city wall needs to be repaired, right?Soldiers want to raise it?
Road maintenance, nursery planting, and even the operation of fountains in the city all have to be funded from the treasury.

At the beginning, he was polite, but the words of these nobles gradually became intimidating.

In fact, due to the sudden death of the old king, the power was not handed over to Staley as in the original book, which led to a vacuum in the kingship of the King of Goa.

As Cao Cao said, "Assuming that there is no orphan in the country, I don't know how many people will be the emperor and how many people will be the king."

The vacuum of power has led to the phenomenon of demons dancing wildly.

These no-nonsense, fat-headed, and extremely stupid nobles have shown insatiable wisdom in dividing up rights.

Now they no longer want a strong dictator to check them.

"Oh?"

Ma Qiao raised a glass of sour and smelly expired wine, shook the glass gently, and observed the situation of the wine hanging on the wall like a master wine taster:
"So, Earl Powell, what is the current deficit in the treasury?"

The elderly nobleman who took the lead, the so-called Earl Powell, raised his eyebrows and showed joy on his face.

He glanced at the other nobles, stretched out a palm, and said the number they had discussed long ago.

"50 billion Baileys, to maintain the operation of the kingdom, at least 50 billion Baileys are needed!"

Earl Powell said an astronomical figure in his mind.

"Five billion Baileys?"

Nami, who was filing her nails with French bread, raised her head in disdain, put her arm around Ma Qiao's arm and said:
"I thought it was 500 billion Baileys, Jojo, the bag you bought for me in Chambord last time was [-] million Baileys, right?"

"Uh... yes..."

Marjorie nodded guiltily.

The bag is real, but [-] million is fake.

Who would use [-] million Baileys to buy a bag?
That hanging tag was forged by Marjorie to Ezreal.

That guy is really good at making these luxury gadgets.

but……

Old Qiao saw Nami wink at him.Obviously, this little thief who steals luxury goods for a living has long since seen through a trick of giving girls fake luxury goods.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Goa did not notice the flirtatious behavior of Ma Qiao and his little girlfriend in front of the queen-to-be.

They only heard that the guy in front of them was a super rich guy!

Of course the same is true.

If it weren't for the penguin fruit that was crazy about attracting money, Ma Qiao would have already accumulated a net worth of nearly [-] billion Baileys in terms of the turnover of the Big Bird consortium.

The myth of wealth creation of emerging industries is simply unimaginable for these old feudal nobles.

"His Royal Highness the Regent."

Earl Powell once again looked at the other nobles, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his greedy expression became more intense:
"As your female partner said, we made a mistake just now, it's not 50 billion Berries, it's 500 billion Berries..."

"Yes yes yes we need 500 billion beli to beautify our city."

"After this political chaos, especially the indiscriminate shelling by those unscrupulous navies, our families have suffered huge losses. If His Royal Highness the Regent is willing to help us, you will gain the loyalty of all the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa."

"Allegiance?"

The wine in Ma Qiao's hand shook countless times.

Finally, he smiled and waved his arms.

The sour and smelly expired wine spilled every drop on Earl Powell's old face.

"Although I am a businessman, I don't think money can buy true loyalty!"

"what!"

Earl Powell covered his old face and asked angrily: "Do you know what you are doing? You are insulting a real nobleman!"

The other Goa nobles were outraged:
"You are just a baron in the Kingdom of Alabasta, why do you humiliate Earl Powell!"

"Everyone, don't get me wrong!"

Marjorie smiled: "I'm not insulting Earl Powell, I'm insulting all of you rubbish!"

As he spoke, Ma Qiao bowed left and right.One after another, the nobles who rushed up and wanted to push themselves were sent flying.

The guards who rushed in after hearing the sound were handed over to the three girls.

Even if it was Nami, it would not be a problem to pick up the bench and overturn a few heavily armed guards.

Weiwei even carried a peacock chain with her.

It's been a long time since I've fought, and my movements are a little sparse.

As for Yamato.

Marjorie can only pray for the ponies who are unfortunate enough to get her mace.

Seeing Ma Qiao and his gang, their fighting power is so terrifying.

In particular, the white-haired woman in the flight attendant costume slapped the captain of the palace guard into the floor with a stick.

The nobles all panicked.

Count Powell pulled out a phone bug:

"It's reversed, the puppet regent has devoured the Lord!"

"Unfortunately, you have forgotten that the three colonels of the Navy headquarters are still in this country."

"The navy is a dog raised by us nobles. Dogs are not allowed on the table, so we didn't call them here. Now it seems that I have to let you have a taste of the power of vicious dogs!"

Earl Powell viciously dialed the emergency number left by the navy.
