"Don't tease me. That's Mr. Cade!"
Just as chaos erupted at the scene, members of the pirate crew who had been stationed outside suddenly rushed in. They pushed aside the drunken pirate blocking their way and shouted.
"Lord Cardo, Lord Cardo! Sir Plague Quinn has sent a swift ship to request reinforcements."
The Flying Thieves also covet the waterfall's beard treasure. Ser Quinn has already begun engaging the ironclad ships.
The ironclad ship is the captain of the third squad of the Flying Thieves. Lord Quinn requests Magistrate Cade's support!
When this news came, the entire scene seemed to be paused, unlike the impression of a samurai nation that was neither strong nor weak.
The legendary pirate "Golden Lion" Ski, leading his "Flying Pirates," rules the seas from the sky, possessing unparalleled maritime mobility thanks to the Golden Lion's Float Fruit ability. In the New World, I'm merely fighting one of their fleets.
A fierce battle means that most of the pirate crew will join the fight.
This is a powerful force that even the "strongest man in the world" and the "Roger Pirates" do not easily anger, but it is too early for such an enemy to become a youth version of the "pirate crew".
Its members' quality and military equipment are unmatched by people twenty years later.
Have these people gone completely mad? Lion, isn't that one of the strongest pirates on the sea? "A pirate crew fighting him won't end well, will it?"
By order of the imperial leader Fu Lu Shou, Feng Zi, who had just passed the imperial trial a few days earlier and been promoted to the rank of Ren Shang, quickly accepted the most arduous task of his career.
He went abroad with him on a ship that was lurking overseas and trading with the country. He stole information without anyone noticing.
After spending the entire night memorizing all the near-shore information provided by the team leader, Feng Ying, the most skilled infiltration expert in the imperial court, laid an ambush in the underwater harbor waters.
After the pirate crew's ship arrived, it followed the anchor inland and then stubbornly entered the pirate crew's hideout. Then, this scene unfolded before their eyes.
At that time, Baili Xiao summoned Kurotan Musamura and Kurotan Chanmaru to the cherry blossom tree directly below Kogetsu Castle. From the outside, it looked like a very large cherry blossom tree.
However, the symbol of Huadu “Shenying” is actually a life spectacle formed by five giant cherry blossom trees growing together.
The Kogetsu clan, who were the first to discover this secret, built a mirror castle in the hollow beneath the cherry blossom tree: Zuowu Castle became their secret fortress. However, after the castle was burned down on the last birthday of General Kogetsu, and the five elders who assisted the general were dismembered by Baili Xiao, the secret, known only to successive generals and shogunate elders, fell into Baili Xiao's hands.
Today, the last stronghold of the Guangyue family has become a base for the Kurozumi family to stockpile armor and tame the undead. The Kurozumi maids in charge of the main combat forces, the imperial court responsible for secret security and covert operations, the Hyakka-bori (Hundred Flowers) who monitor and explore the movements of the samurai class, and the Hozuki Trading Company elites responsible for offshore intelligence gathering all hide in this fortress.
"Hehe, Baili Xiao, what do you want from us two old people? But we've been waiting."
"Hahaha, Mr. Chan, Mr. Chanmaru. I will not give you such an order. This is not our relationship."
"Hehe, Baili Xiao, no need for formalities, just say what you want to say."
"This is not just polite talk, Mr. Chan. I have something to tell you. Now that I have resigned from my post as general and my previous plans have completely failed, in order to continue to incite domestic conflict, I have decided to liberate the snake in the city of Zou. If the power of the beast species Baili Xiao's form is used, the clouds over the capital will not disappear for a long time. With these rusty dark clouds, the sunlight that illuminates the capital is completely blocked."
If sunlight and rain are blocked during the rice grain-filling stage, I believe this year's grain yield will be 10 to 1.
However, my power is insufficient. I possess only the bare minimum of awareness to attract and maintain a cloud of this size.
"Hehe, you're so naughty, Baili Xiao. Leave it to us two old folks."
Summer 95.
That year, Baili Xiao was 28 years old, and Qingyue Yutian was 32 years old.
There are still 3 years until Gol D. Roger reaches the last island, Laugh Tale, and becomes the first "Pirate King" to conquer Granrean.
Light was born less than a year ago.
Guangyue had been back in China for less than 12 months.
Since this summer, the capital of the land of harmony has never seen the sun again.
Since ancient times, Hua has been regarded as the center of the country ruled by the Guangyue family, and as the so-called capital city under the general's feet.
Hua is the richest land in Kawai, and its grain production has been the highest in Kawai for many years.
Chapter 0303 What the Future Looks Like
However, just as Chang'an believed that living in a large place was not easy, Hua was the capital of harmony.
It is also the only megacity in the region with a permanent population of over one million. At the same time, Huadu is located in the center of the region, overlooking Jiuli, Messi, Tuwan, Zhonghou, and Wubai across the river.
It is also the main political and economic artery connecting the entire local area. Over the past 800 years of development, all ambitious young people who wanted to make a name for themselves decided to leave their hometowns for Huadu.
As young people in various towns and villages continue to be attracted by the talent siphon effect of Huadu, the permanent population of Huadu is increasing year by year.
To meet the needs of these people, the scale of buildings in Huadu has been expanding year by year.
Farms on the outskirts of the capital were gradually encroached upon by the bustling industry and commerce. Spring Island, where Huadu is located, is separated from other towns and villages by only six major rivers. Over the past 800 years, there has been almost no uncultivated land on this island.
Two years ago, if the general hadn't announced the severance of his father-son relationship, Guangyue Yutian, who had been expelled from the town, would have ended up in Jiuli Township, which had been occupied by mountain bandits.
In one night, he defeated the largest bandit group in Jiuli, led by Ashura Kid, with a single shot.
Therefore, in order to deal with the bandits of Jiuli Mountain, the capital city reduced its large expenditures on replenishing the towns and villages. It seems the island's grain production won't be enough to sustain the ravenous consumption by Huadu.
After that, Guangyue Yutian decided to accept everyone who wanted to come to Jiuli, regardless of their background. Their collective strength revitalized the long-abandoned land of Jiuli Township.
Cheng Yutian and Taoyuan Farm were products of this period. Due to years of neglect and the countless lives lost, the yield per unit area in Jiuli far exceeded that of Huadu. The grain produced by the initially developed Taoyuan Farm not only supplied itself.
It also covered the costs of supplying Huadu. The bumper harvest in Jiuli helped alleviate the pressure on the capital and the surrounding towns.
Is China prosperous? Stable? It has entered a new era of development.
In this era, in every densely populated metropolis, the official, nominal power is always at a disadvantage.
At this time, even the big shots in town had to rely on the most upright people on Huadu Street.
When he was known as "Hyogoro," he was the leader of the largest social organization in the capital, the "Hyogoro Family," which controlled 36 towns and 72 streets in the capital.
Although high-ranking officials of the shogunate did not hold these figures of ordinary society in high regard, the well-known "Hyogoro" would likely be admired by them. Upholding morality and unyielding indignation.
Even when he was young, Mitsukoshi Tamada respected him greatly, and everyone on the street mentioned him and applauded him.
Of course, after this unusual situation occurred over the capital, Hyogoro immediately dispatched his club members to help the town's minor officials maintain order on the streets, keeping them busy until nightfall.
Even after the faint red glow of the rust-colored sky faded, Goro bid farewell to the officials of the military training camp and returned alone to his home on Yumen Bridge East Road.
Yumen Bridge connects Huadu Xiaguan with the towering cherry blossom trees. This is Lu Qian's tomb, along with Mu Jiang, Niu Junguang, and a temporary worker.
The workers spent six years copying knife sheaths and peeling off cow horns.
The cattle grazing area had been altered and the mules were being cursed.
Bao Wulang's house on the east side of Yumen Bridge was not a mansion. Unlike his neighbors who were surrounded by wealthy families, Bao Wulang's house, located in the capital's largest club, received monthly water from his room, gymnasium, pub, and tea room.
But Hyogoro was generous and upheld the moral principles of chivalry. Whenever his subordinates were in trouble, Hyogoro would donate money and practice frugality.
In recent years, Shi Hengzhong has seized his customers' houses, and the tavern has become even more difficult to operate due to the pressure from the red-light district.
Even before that, I had managed to spend a large sum of money to introduce new business.
The 20% discount on alcohol in Ubu Township was forcibly stopped by Leopard Goro. The reason was severe side effects and addiction.
Now, in order to support the Hogoro family, the dirty work that they persuaded the residents to move out of the Tamamobashi area a few days ago will also be taken over. Despite this, the Hogoro family's books are getting worse and worse.
Ever since this rust-red cloud inexplicably appeared over the capital, the air has been filled with the metallic stench of human blood.
Since the general fell ill, these unusual changes have been increasing. As a result, most people have decided to stay home and observe the situation. Business on the streets is not as good as before, and of course, Goro the Leopard has gone three days without a drop of water. They don't know what the future holds. Goro naturally went to him and then served him clothes and food.
Hyogoro had promised to gather the young people in the group together for a chat that evening, and then gently closed the sliding door of the teahouse.
Just like countless busy nights before, I returned to the couple's living room and waited for my husband to go to bed.
Even now, Kojiro will ask me to spend some time alone. He took off the round sunglasses he had worn for years and rubbed his nose vigorously with his fingers.
Even with a famous and harmonious work like "Leopard Goro," even if everyone praises its strength, he still lamented that it cost a penny.
To the young people in the group, he was the head of the Hyogoro family.
From an official standpoint, he was a recluse of 300 years, highly respected and not someone to be trifled with. To ordinary people on the street, however, he was a leopard-like boss who helped others in times of crisis and smoothed over all sorts of matters on the street.
In the eyes of his wife and children, he is the pillar of their family.
This invisible burden made the man's shoulders heavier and heavier. He told his grandmother, but a young man in the group came to speak.
However, in order to maintain everything today, Leopard Goro didn't dare to let the men in the group work for a while.
Chapter 0304 Keep the Rhythm
If we can't open source, we'll have to cut costs.
Even if spending is reduced, it may not be possible to maintain today's dignity in 0 days.
Kojiro sat alone in the cafe, drinking, thinking about the letter that had suddenly appeared on the club table earlier.
"The letter can be left at the club headquarters, which is protected by 30 people, and no one is free to go there."
Even swordsmen like Saburotaro and Joetaro didn't notice the slightest difference. I remember this skill. I'm a good doctor. I'm ready for a date with you. Thank you so much. I write with a small fountain pen.
"you're right."
Only those involved know the truth about that night. What did the ninja who suddenly appeared, "Leopard Goro," the hero of the capital, say?
However, afterwards, the warehouses of the Golden Leopard Group were filled with mountains of food and supplies, which were distributed free of charge to the people of Xiamachi who are still struggling today.
In this difficult time, everyone praised Leopard Boss's generosity, only Leopard Goro was worried. But even his wife by his bedside couldn't sense his inner anxiety.
The Gran Line, which, along with the Red Line, divides the world into four seas, is widely recognized as the most incredible and dangerous waterway in the world.
No one knows its full extent, nor dares to conquer the Great Road.
The red earth continent, which stretches across the land, is divided into two parts. The first part is called "the graveyard of the sea" by sailors from various countries, while the second part is called "paradise."
However, this is a far more treacherous wilderness than the first half of Gran. The latter half of the Gran storyline, known as the "New World," is an unknown territory.
This vast and powerful sea is currently home to three legendary pirates, universally recognized as invincible, who patrol the Black Zone, inaccessible to naval fleets. They are shown below.
With a bounty of 3.78 billion berries, the captain of the "Whitebeard Pirates" is Edward "Whitebeard"? New Gate.
With a bounty of 3.25 billion berries, the "Flying Pirates" admiral, "Golden Lion," is skiing.
It is the smallest and only legendary pirate crew among the other three without a base.
The prize money is 356480 yuan. I'm an idiot, Mr. Okhokhon.
At this time, Tom, the fisherman known as "the world's first shipbuilder," was building the legendary pirate Gore D. Roger's ship on the Oro Jackson.
There was a 16-foot-tall man gently holding an infant in his arms, with a child under 3 years old behind him.
I paced back and forth in front of the cottage, frowning, but I couldn't leave.
"Hey, haha, Laurie, look at this guy from Yutian? I don't look like someone who can take care of kids. How do I make Grandma look like a warrior? A bit."
"What are you talking about? Being a samurai isn't that inconvenient! You can't even raise your own children. That kind of guy can't be called a samurai!"
"Hey, don't say a word, Roger. Tamada too. Fine, but you've already woken Hiyori up."
