Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The port town, Yaruja.

Unlike the prosperous and bustling port city of Rape Flower, which is rich in perfume, Yalujia is nothing more than an inconspicuous seaside town, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a village, with a resident population of only over a hundred people.

There are few outsiders here, and most of the residents make a living by fishing, and their days are peaceful and stable.

But in the early morning of this day, people who were going to go out to fish suddenly noticed something strange at sea.

Through the binoculars, they saw a broken mid-sized sailboat heading towards their port.

"Hey, hey, how come there are big ships here?"

"Is it a pirate ship?"

"It's not like, there is no black flag on it."

"Navy?"

"Don't be kidding, that ship seems to be sinking, and one of its masts is broken!"

"Could it be a refugee ship?"

"It's possible, in short, it's easy to say that it's not a pirate, let's go save people first!"

"…"

The people of Alabasta have always been warm and kind, and the fishermen of Yaruja are even more so.

They quickly left the boat off the dock to make room for the medium-sized sailboat.

Then, there were two more experienced fishermen, holding flags and waving signals at the medium-sized sailboat, to help the people on board dock.

Under the guidance of the fishermen, the broken medium-sized sailboat stopped smoothly.

The planks were lowered from the deck and rested on the pier.

A group of people with embarrassed stature and very strange clothes walked off the boat, about a dozen people.

In addition to those who didn't get off the boat, there were about thirty people in total.

They obviously came from the sea, but they each wore a long robe and wrapped themselves tightly, like travelers walking in the desert.

And those robes were obviously not serious clothes, they were tattered.

At the same time, there is another point that the fishermen are very concerned about.

Among these people, there are guys of normal size, but there are also some people who are too tall, and their stout figures are deliberately hidden under the robes.

The townspeople were curious and gathered around.

The mayor of Yalujia is a long-bearded man with a high reputation.

The old man approached and bowed slightly to the man in the robe at the front.

"Young traveler, welcome to Yaruja in Alabasta. Have you encountered any trouble?"

The man in the robe took off his hood, revealing a tired and thin face.

"Hello, old man, we don't mean to offend."

"My crew and I were attacked by pirates, the ship was on the verge of sinking, and all the supplies were taken away."

"We need supplies, as well as materials to repair the ship - we'll pay for it, please allow us to stay here for a while."

Hearing this, the town chief was also relieved.

This young man is very polite, obviously not a vicious pirate.

And looking at them, it was obvious that they had been drifting at sea for a long time and suffered a lot.

The old man nodded again and again, "Of course, children, you can stay here for a long time. Let your crew come down. I will arrange accommodation and food for you."

However, the young man shook his head repeatedly and refused.

"No, it's better not to cause you any trouble, we'll just stay on the boat."

"That's... alright."

Seeing that the young man insisted, the town chief did not force it.

Then, he began to discuss with the young man the need for supplies and ship replenishment materials.

After all, Yalujia is only a small town, and the most lively place is the only tavern. Therefore, many supplies and ship replenishment materials need to be purchased in the next city.

…

Here, the young man and the town chief are discussing.

On the other hand, the townspeople were curious about the strange group of guests from the sea.

A little girl sneaked over and came to a tall strange man.

The little girl is really too small, and the tall eccentric is very nervous. Her attention is all on the young man and the town chief, so she doesn't notice her existence.

She curiously lifted a corner of the tall weirdo's robe, and suddenly saw something.

"Wow!"

The little girl exclaimed and shouted to the mother beside her, "Mom, this uncle's skin is so strange, it turns out to be blue!"

Swish!

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the pier suddenly became wrong.

The tall weirdo quickly grabbed his robe and tried to run to the boat.

The little girl didn't pay attention, was taken over by the robe, and fell to the ground, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Well...it hurts..."

The tall weirdo turned his head and seemed to want to help the little girl.

The little girl's mother took the lead and hugged her daughter.

Looking up, she also saw the blue-blue skin of the tall weirdo hidden under the robe, and also saw the face hidden under the hood.

The mother's eyes widened and she exclaimed.

"Fish... Murloc! It's Murloc!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the pier became tense, and the men immediately picked up their harpoons, protecting their families and children behind them.

huh...

The sea breeze blew through, and the tattered robe was blown up by the wind, revealing the true colors hidden under the robe.

It was a team made up of humans and murlocs.

There are few human beings, only a few people, but there are many murlocs.

Their faces were exhausted, and their expressions became dazed and helpless because of the reactions of the people around them.

Among them, the tall murloc who wanted to support the little girl also took a few steps back because of the little girl's mother's reaction, ready to jump into the sea at any time.

Seeing this, the young man who was communicating with the town chief immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Please, please stop!"

He stopped in front of the fish people, and the actions of the other humans were the same.

"We are not malicious, please don't do this!"

"enough!"

The tall murloc shook his head and put his arm on the shoulder of the young human, "We don't belong here, let's go..."

Hearing the words, the young man bit his lip and planned to turn around and leave.

The rest of the townspeople were still nervous, but also a little suspicious.

They have heard that murlocs are a savage and violent race since they were young, and they are very dangerous, but the appearance they show now is a little...poor?

And these murlocs are actually on the same boat as humans, where did they come from?

The old town chief waved his hand to signal the townspeople to put down their weapons, and then said to the young man:

"Don't go, your boat can't support you to the next island. Forget about the murlocs, you will die in the sea."

The young man put on his robe again and said slowly, "Thank you for your kindness, old man, but we made an oath not to leave our friends alone."

friend…

Humans and murlocs, are they friends?

The residents of Yalujia couldn't understand it, and so did the mayor.

But the old man is very clear that the essence of these people in front of him is called "life".

He couldn't let those like the townspeople die.

So the old man waved his hand, ignoring the surprised eyes of the townspeople, and said, "Stay, you can stay in the town's tavern for a while, but don't harass the town's residents."

The young man turned around and nodded with a wry smile.

…

A group of murlocs and humans got off the boat.

They went straight to the tavern arranged by the mayor.

At the same time, the old man also said to the big man in charge of the town's security, "Let everyone try not to get close to that side, and then immediately report the matter here to His Majesty the King."

The big man nodded and used the phone bug to contact the nearest King's Army stronghold.

…

So, this report fell into the hands of Cobra and Rowan.

Cobra stroked his chin.

"Master Ancestor, the people from the World Government haven't arrived yet, should we be more cautious now? After all, the issue of murlocs is very sensitive."

Rowan shook his head, then got up.

"No, I'm going to see it myself."

On the table not far away, there is a newspaper from a few days ago, with the headlines of that time printed on it—

The fisherman Fisher Tiger climbed up to the Holy Land of Maryjoa with his bare hands, triggering the Maryjoa riot.
