Pirate: My shadow can hang up

But he said that when Maginot returned to the tavern, he first moved everything in the store to the cellar to avoid others finding out that he had evil intentions.

After doing all this, Maginot took down the closed wooden sign at the door and restarted business.

"Squeak!"

The wooden door of the tavern shook, and then several people squeezed in.

These people lingered at the door for a long time, and after finally exchanging glances, they entered the tavern one by one.

Maginot began to look at the few people as soon as they entered the door. Although these guys looked big and rough, they were cautious in doing things.

Even the movements of pulling up the seat are very small, as if they are afraid of disturbing others and are cautious.

"What do guests want to drink? We have malt wine, fruit wine, and wine in the store. As for food, there are cherry pie, apple pie, red bean pizza..."

"Well... each person has a big stick of meat, a glass of malt wine, some pizza and pie, and a piece of fish. That's it."

One of them replied.

"Um, guests, are you together?" Maginot asked, wearing an apron and holding a small notebook to write down things.

"Um...yes, we will settle the bill together at that time, so don't worry."

"Bottled or bulk? The former may be more expensive." Maginot pointed to the neatly arranged wine in the wine cabinet. Here are some more expensive bottled wines. Although they can't sell a few bottles a day, the profit is It is several times that of selling in bulk.

"Anything is fine."

It didn't take long for one plate after another to be brought to the table. While people were enjoying their meals, Maginot returned behind the counter, picked up a pen and paper and sketched, as if settling accounts.

Everyone who was eating looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

After that, they started chatting naturally, talking about trivial matters from here to there.

I don't know how long it took, but one of them suddenly raised his voice and said, "You mean, the Sapphire Pirates at the Waste Terminal captured three teenagers?"

"The members of the Sapphire Pirates are cruel by nature. If they are caught, it will probably be a disaster!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Maginot had just finished settling the accounts when he was startled by the loud voice.

When she reacted, her expression suddenly changed.

I saw Maginot pushing open the door of the counter and walking to the table: "The three boys you are talking about are called Luffy, Ace, and..."

Those people shook their heads when they heard this: "We only saw them when we were passing by. Two black-haired teenagers, one wearing a top hat, couldn't see clearly."

It's Luffy and the three of them, that's right.

"Where did you find them?"

Hearing her question, those people looked at Maginot up and down, and then said:

"Do you know those three boys? Do you... want to go alone? The Sapphire Pirates have hundreds of people, and they also have guns. If you do this, you are just trying to trick a tiger into a trap..."

Of course, the Sapphire Pirates only have a few dozen people, and only the leader Blue Jam has a gun, but if you say that, it is impossible to express the danger...

Maginot originally wanted to tell Luffy and Ace's adoptive mother Dadan, and then lead someone to rescue him.

Dadan is an adoptive mother on the surface. In fact, as the bandit leader, the former does not know how to take care of children at all and basically keeps them free. Of course, this does not mean that she does not care.

And some things are helped by Maginot, such as sewing clothes, buying new clothes, cooking... Dadan plays the role of a strict father, while Maginot acts more as a loving mother.

This is not just a boast of a few people. In fact, the Dadan family has no choice but to escape in front of the Sapphire Pirates. Even if it is Blujim alone, Dadan and the other pirates do not dare to attack...

"What can we do..." Maginot murmured anxiously, secretly thinking that it would be nice if Mr. Karp was here.

The reason why she felt that a woman was running the tavern was because of Garp's prestige and intimidation. The big pirate groups around her had run away overnight when they heard Garp's name, leaving only a less-reputable pirate group like Sapphire. …

The most important thing is that some nobles in the kingdom don't want it to disappear. After all, there are some shameful things to do.

Just when Maginot couldn't think of a solution after thinking for a long time, she heard the person who just spoke continue: "The Sapphire Pirates have connections with the nobles of the kingdom. If the nobles can say a word, it is estimated that this The matter is settled.”

noble? The important thing is that she doesn't know the nobles either...

"Even if you are not a noble, as long as you can speak in the Kingdom of Goa, you can probably do it..." The man then reminded him, fearing that he would have to report someone's ID card.

Now Maginot finally remembered, but she still had a look of embarrassment on her face. Now that she was a stranger, how could she have the nerve to trouble her again.

……

In the palace of King Goa, Perona was still moaning and complaining about Moria before she disappeared without saying a word.

Moria smiled and helped Perona tidy up her clothes: "It's very cute. Look at it yourself in the mirror."

After hearing this, Perona came to the floor-length mirror lightly, turned around, and pursed her lips: "It doesn't look good at all."

With that said, Perona changed back into a very cartoonish gothic costume.

Moria patted her little head: "They are all cute. It's not because of the clothes."

Absalom, who was waiting at the door, curled his lips. He liked the weak type and of course he would not agree with this point of view.

"I said, Perona, can you hurry up? The dance is about to start."

Not long ago, the king invited Moria to attend a noble ball. Moria didn't want to go, but Absalom wanted it.

If Moria didn't go, it would be inconvenient for Absalom to participate, so it was finally decided that the three of them would go together, including Perona.

As soon as the three people entered, they attracted the attention of many nobles. When King Goa saw Moria arriving, he also greeted him with a smile on his face.

Moria greeted him and then introduced: "This is the commander-in-chief of my army."

The reason why I say this is just to express that Absalom’s status is extraordinary and he needs to be treated well.

King Goa greeted him with a smile. Hearing what Moria said, it was indeed extraordinary. He should be considered second only to Moria in terms of authority. Although he could not be ingratiated, he would not be in conflict with him.

"This is... my daughter, don't worry about her, just let her play as she pleases." Moria helped Perona straighten the mini crown.

King Goa stared at Perona's lovely face, then looked at Moria, and was speechless for a moment.

After the introduction, Moria came to the balcony of the castle and had no intention of attending the dance.

Although Moria tried his best to stay out of everyone's sight, it didn't take long for a woman with gorgeous clothes and fair skin to walk up to him.

The woman's voice was a little soft: "Sir, do you want to dance?"

Moria turned around after hearing this and looked at her without any emotion.

"Sir, I am...I am the daughter of the Grand Duke Sigunathan..."

Her voice was trembling, as if she was scared.

"Are you afraid?" Moria grinned: "If I guessed correctly, someone else should have asked you to come. You can go, I'm not interested in women."

This grin revealed shark-like teeth, making the person opposite him feel even more frightened.

"That..." The woman wanted to say something else... "Just say what I said."

After saying that, Moria turned his head again and admired the scenery outside the window.

The woman seemed to have received amnesty and disappeared the next moment.

"Lord Moria, here, here is something delicious for you." Perona was like a little hamster, holding a bunch of snacks in her arms.

Without any explanation, he stuffed it into Moriah's hand.

Looking at the various nuts and snacks in his hand, the corners of Moriah's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"That is to say...you, I am very happy that you can think of me." Moria stared at Perona's round eyes, dumbfounded: "But what's the matter with being bitten?"

"Hehe." Perona smiled slyly.

"Hee hee, you're big." Moria hit him hard, and Perona was in pain, holding her head and squatting in defense, covering her forehead and moaning.

Black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket, the pain is in vain...

Perona groaned for a long time and then ran to find something to eat.

Not long after the episode ended, a man dressed as a guard squeezed into the ball, then glanced around, and finally spotted Moriah's figure on the balcony.

"Sir." The man hurried to Moria's side and whispered a few words.

Moria nodded and said, "Bring her here."

……

Maginot waited outside the palace for a moment and then was invited in.

Because she had been here before, everyone in the palace knew her more or less, so there was no obstacle.

Under the leadership of the guards, we first walked through the long corridor. The precious hangings, calligraphy and paintings on the walls on both sides were dazzling.

Unknowingly, he was taken to a living room as big as a square, where pretty men and women in extraordinary clothes were dancing on the dance floor.

After she came in, everyone looked at her.

Maginot lowered her head and looked at the clothes that were incompatible with this place at the moment. She could not help but feel hot and blushing on her face.

"Who is this? Where is this country bumpkin from?"

"How did she get in? Don't you know where this place is? Why didn't the guards kick her out?"

"Well, I have to say, that woman is quite pretty. If she puts on a dress, she might be the most beautiful woman on the dance floor."

Amid a burst of discussion, Maginot finally saw Moria's back.

"Sir, I've brought you here." The man said and left in a hurry.

When he heard the sound, Moria didn't turn his head and stood with his hands behind his back. He did it on purpose.

"that…"

It wasn't until Maginot spoke that Moriah turned around.

"I want to beg you...please save three children. They were kidnapped by pirates..." Maginot was a little embarrassed to say it, but in order to save Luffy and the other three, she had no choice but to keep silent.

"Woman, what do I have to do with you?" Moria asked in a calm tone.

"I..." Maginot was speechless for a moment.

"I...can...give..." Maginot pursed her lips and put her hands on her chest. Although she didn't finish her words, her meaning was already clear.

Moria stared at her for a long time and suddenly asked: "Do you think you are more beautiful than those dancing women?"

Maginot didn't look up and shook her head. Even if she was more beautiful, she would be too modest to admit it.

"Do you think I will be short of women? If I wanted to, there would be countless women crawling by themselves... I said too much, but that's what it means." Moria said indifferently.

At this moment, Maginot's heart fell to the bottom, and her face felt hot.

If there was still any illusion at all, at this moment, that trace has been ruthlessly extinguished.

"If you don't even look in the mirror, how could that gentleman fall in love with such a village woman..." Someone in the crowd said something.

The conversations of people at the ball were as harsh as gossip in her ears. It felt like everyone was talking about her at this moment.

Even though she had been vaccinated in advance, Maginot was still a little embarrassed at this moment, with embarrassment written all over her face.

She was walking like this in a daze, when suddenly a hand was put on her shoulder.

Maginot raised her head, it was the guy who had just shut her out.

"Let's go, tell me everything, and I will help you solve it."

To outsiders, Moriah seemed to be holding him in his arms at this moment. For a moment, people looked at each other, it turns out that this guy is so good...

After reacting, no one looked at him again, and no one made any further comments.

At the entrance of the palace, a group of guards stared at a man and woman kissing not far away, their eyes widened...

In broad daylight, in the clear sky, he actually did such a sloppy thing. Let that woman go and let me do it...

but.

When they saw it clearly, they all became silent and said, "See no evil, see no evil."

Moria put the man in his arms on the ground. The plan was a great success.

Now, not only did the other party not refuse, but they began to cater to her.

"Did you never intend to let me go from the beginning?" Maginot said with red cheeks, staring into Moria's eyes.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are too narcissistic?"

Their eyes met, just facing each other.

The next moment, Moria smiled: "To tell you the truth, it is impossible for the prey I am interested in to escape from her."

far away.

Several guards at the gate were chatting in low voices.

"Brother, look, it's started again, it's started again!"

"Hey, it's endless, right?"

"I can't stand it anymore. After the changing of the guard, I must go home and vent my anger to my mother-in-law..."
