Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The Royal Palace of Albana.

Outside the study, a large group of people are standing.

Among them were Cobra, Bell, and Gaka from the Alabasta side, as well as a large group of navies.

The leader is the naval hero [Tekken] Garp who is walking with the crane!

Beside him, Cobra sat on the seat, drinking tea, looking up at the group of navy in front of him.

Since the Draconians fled, Cobra has been ready for a conflict with the World Government.

Because he did not object to Rowan's decision at that time, it would be the same if it were his words!

But what made Cobra a little relieved was that the people who came were actually two admirals, Garp and Crane.

Cobra has participated in several world conferences and met several times with both Garp and Crane.

In his impression, these two quite elderly vice admirals are true navies with upright conduct and relatively mild manners.

If it was them, surely they wouldn't indiscriminately carry out the orders of the Celestial Dragons?

And this precisely represents the attitude of the Navy!

……

Beside him, Garp was holding his arms and squinting his eyes, silently peeping at the situation in the study.

He didn't rashly use knowledge and domineering, worried that it would be offensive and rude to Ryan Rowan.

But even if he didn't use the domineering look, Garp could still feel the strong sense of presence that came from the study.

Sure enough, is it the domineering owner of the overlord?

Karp's eyes moved, observing Cobra's expression, and sighing inwardly.

The Alabasta royal family has acquiesced, and with the overlord's domineering look, it seems to be a 'genuine product'!

Plus……

The chess game between Granny Crane and Rowan has gone through several moves.

Karp didn't understand the Alabasta flag, but he could see from the expressions on both sides that they didn't have an easy game of chess.

This is what Xiaohe and Warring States said...Wen Dou?

The old man really still doesn't understand!

Karp smiled helplessly.

In fact, the legendary vice-admiral is still self-defeating. It is not that he "can't understand", but that he is "too lazy to think about it".

For Karp, he has something more in line with his own style!

While thinking about it, Rowan has already said the sentence:

"I am the chess player."

As soon as these words came out, Garp could clearly see that Crane's expression changed, and his five fingers clenched tightly unconsciously.

Once that Ryan Rowan has the slightest intention to do something, his iron fist will hit the man's head first!

Karp has this confidence.

But then, he noticed that Crane waved his fingers slightly, which meant that Garp didn't have to be so nervous.

Karp was a little puzzled, but relaxed. After all, he still absolutely trusts Crane's judgment.

……

This game of chess has been played for a long time.

About an hour and a half later, Granny He dropped the last piece and smiled, "It's over."

Rowan nodded, "Well, I won."

Granny He narrowed her eyes and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you lost."

"Um?"

Rowan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the chessboard again.

He counted the number of pieces again, and then confirmed, "Ms. He, I won, with half a piece more."

But Granny Crane stretched out her hand and drew a circle on one corner of the chessboard.

"Actually, the rules of the Alabasta flag have undergone minor changes in the past eight hundred years."

She pointed to two of the chess pieces and said with a smile, "According to the current rules, here is where I won by half."

Rowan was startled, and Ikalem, who was not far away, trembled inwardly.

What the Granny Crane said was true. The rules of the Alabasta flag have indeed changed a bit, but those are all insignificant details.

It is unheard of to be able to overturn the outcome of the entire chess game with such tiny details!

What's more, the top staff officer of the Navy Headquarters seems to have something to say.

"Every era has different rules. When the rules change, the outcome will also change."

Granny He slowly sorted out the chessboard, looked up at Luo Wen, and said slowly, "Are you right? His Majesty the Emperor 800 years ago."

Rowan touched his chin, smacking his lips, then shook his head and said:

"I think this rule... is not good."

Luo Wen raised his head, looked at Granny He, and said two words with a smile:

"It has to be changed."

Hearing this, Granny He's eyes moved, and she knew it in her heart.

Rowan then got up, moved his wrist, and said with a smile, "It's been a long journey, why don't you have dinner and take a rest?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old man is also a little hungry."

Granny He returned the chess pieces and left the study with Luo Wen.

……

Inside the restaurant.

Everyone gathered together and had dinner.

Ikalem had to admit that he had never felt so uncomfortable because this dinner party was so "normal".

From the perspective of those who participated in the dinner party, this "normal" is the biggest "abnormal"!

Luo Wen and Granny He are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, chatting and laughing, from the literary masters 800 years ago to today's technological development.

Not far away, Karp was chatting with Cobra, most of which happened at the World Conference, while marveling at the food of Alabasta.

Weiwei sat aside and looked at them.

As for Crocodile, he didn't want to participate in this dinner, but Rowan forced him to bring him over, saying that it was fun for everyone to eat together.

lively?

Ah!

Crocodile sneered inwardly while eating steak.

He is very clear that this "lively" in Alabasta has just begun!

……

as predicted.

After dinner.

Karp suddenly got up, patted his stomach, and smiled at Cobra: "Hahahaha, I have eaten a lot, I plan to go for a walk!"

Cobra was a little puzzled, but still asked, "Let's go together?"

"No, no, this old man likes to take a walk alone."

Kap waved his hands again and again, turned and left the restaurant.

After that, Rowan also got up and said with a smile, "I'll blow the evening breeze, you guys continue to talk."

Weiwei stretched out her hand and said, "Master Ancestor, I want to go too!"

"Let Ikalem take you there, this time I want to be alone."

Rowan rarely refused Weiwei's request.

Hearing this, Cobra's eyes moved, as if he had sensed something.

Crocodile sneered even more in his heart.

Finally, the real "big fun" is about to begin!

After learning that the leaders of the navy who arrived in Alabasta were Crane and Karp~www.readwn.com~ Kroc Dahl had already noticed the difference:

If you just want to make initial contact, the navy should send Tsuru alone. Garp is completely unnecessary.

Accompanying protection? It's a bit tasteless!

That crane is not some weak staff who needs to be protected.

Ordinary pirates can't help her, and even someone with enough weight doesn't dare to touch her at all!

Then, since the navy has already arranged for the crane to come to contact Rowan, why send another [Tekken]?

The answer is about to come out.

Crocodile turned around and found that Granny Crane had also left on the pretext of going out for a walk.

His eyes moved, and his heart was tangled.

Afterwards, he lit a cigar for himself, unable to contain his curiosity, the fourth left after Karp, Rowan, and Crane.

Seeing this scene, Cobra also basically confirmed the previous guess.

He looked out the window with a worried expression.

Alas, can't this matter be exposed easily after all?

……

Albana, the desert outside the city.

night.

It's a long way from the city.

Looking into the distance, all you can see in Albana is a small light, surrounded by a desert.

The two figures walked side by side, leaving four rows of footprints on the sand, which were wiped away by the evening wind.

It's Rowan and Karp.

They walked silently, speechless all the way.

Suddenly, Karp turned his head, seemed to notice Rowan's existence, and grinned:

"Hey, what a coincidence, you're here for a walk too?"

Rowan smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."
