Chapter 173 Atonement
"Why..."
Momosuke looked at the sea in bewilderment.
Whenever they tried to leave the island, those strange people came with big ships and bombarded them.
On several occasions they even came close to destroying their ships.
Kin'emon's face was gloomy.
Those people... are blocking them.
But why no direct attack?
Raizo, Cat Viper, Inuarashi.
All their life cards were burned.
Has something happened to Zou? Is it from Kaido?
"Your Majesty Momonosuke...we can't wait any longer...must return to Wanokuni."
Hearing Wanokuni's words, Momonosuke had a frightened look on his face.
"Now...now...go back? Not as good..."
"Your Highness!"
Kin'emon knelt on the ground, and Kanjuro could only kneel down together when he saw this, but there was an imperceptible hint of viciousness at the corner of his mouth.
"Although it is very difficult! But I am waiting for the undead to fight to the death! I am waiting..."
"I will assist His Highness to regain Wanokuni's position as 'General'!"
Momonosuke's body trembled for a while: "But...but... Kaido is still there..."
"Your Highness..."
Kin'emon sighed: "We must believe in Mrs. Toki's prophecy! Someone will definitely come to help us! You have inherited Lord Yudian's blood, and you will definitely be able to revive the name of the 'Kozuki family'!"
On a warship in the distance.
Iron stood on the deck looking at the beach.
The two weirdos were kneeling in front of the child, kowtowing non-stop.
"Next time they sail in the direction of Wanokuni, let them go."
"yes!"
Ai En tightened the "Autumn Water" in his hand.
Although her swordsmanship was born out of Dylan, it also incorporates Shimotsuki Ryoma's "Dragon Sword Art".
Dylan told her after the de Reiss Rosa incident.
Soon after the battle of "Wanokuni", she was one of the men who had to fight.
Because her "Autumn Water" and "Dragon Slaying Sword Technique" will have some special effects there.
As for the specific role, Dylan didn't say clearly, and Ain didn't ask much.
She believed in Dylan, from beginning to end.
This sea has changed too much because of his arrival.
She doesn't want to be a hero, in her heart, she is the same as Shiryu.
It is a sword that does not require thinking.
"Dark Dragon" - the sharp sword in Adams Dylan's hand.
······
Drum Island.
Dylan sat in the palace, and the Guyman brothers stood on both sides.
Dalton sat on Dylan's flank.
After the "Blackbeard Attack", Dylan never set foot on the Island of the Drum again.
Although he has supported Drum Island a lot.
But there was always a string in Dalton's heart.
And this time Dylan's arrival finally made the strings in his heart relax slightly.
Before the Battle of the Sabaody Archipelago, Dalton inexplicably waged war on Alabasta.
Although it ended hastily because of the arrival of the "Battle of the Sabaody Archipelago", the Kingdom of Chia became a big country comparable to Alabasta because of that lightning raid.
"What were you doing before?"
Although Tahir once analyzed Dalton's move to "enter Dylan's sight".
But Dylan himself still has some doubts, Dalton...
Buffalo turned into bison?
No... This guy is originally a bison fruit.
"Prepare for war."
Facing Dylan's question, Dalton was silent for a while, and answered honestly.
"Oh?" Dylan glanced at Dalton. This guy, although his appearance hasn't changed much in four or five years, his temperament has become completely different from before.
In the past, he always had a silly smile on his face.
Also euphemistically called kind and gentle.
But now.
Dylan looked at the calmness in his expression and the rush of life in his body.
Kind of looks like a king.
this world·······
The proper world of diodes.
Or just downright evil and depraved like Wapol
Or be kind and weak like Cobra and King Riku.
All the kings seem to have no normal and talented ones.
As long as there are one or two Mingjun, not to mention Li Er and Brother Zheng.
Even Zhu Chongba and Tianxiang Meteorite Xiu'er, who started with a bowl, wouldn't be able to live their lives in such a virtuous way.
Just put the soft king like Cobra in his hometown.
That's right, it's for future generations to dig graves.
Good guy here, Renjun! Mingjun!
Dalton didn't bother Dylan watching Dylan's wandering, and still sat respectfully aside.
It is not only him who has changed, but the whole country.
Especially in the past year or so, after the G5 toured the park to clean up.
The development of the Chia Kingdom has been beyond imagination.
With the support of Greenbit and some mysterious scientists, the title of "Nation of Medicine" returned to the Kingdom of Chia.
Strong medical level.
Rich but not extravagant lifestyle.
united people.
Even Alabasta next door is struggling in the face of the increasingly powerful Chia Kingdom.
"Paradise shouldn't be a problem, Dalton."
Dylan turned slightly.
"Ambition should be limited. Without sufficient background, blind expansion will only accelerate the collapse of the country."
"The territory of the Kingdom of Chia... that ends here."
Dylan stood up and walked towards the door, the howling wind and snow poured into the castle along the door.
Looking at the mountains in the distance and the strong soldiers outside the castle, Dylan said in a deep voice, "If you want to participate in the war, I won't stop you, but you have to remember that the purpose of war is not aggression."
Following the disappearance of Dylan, the Guyelman brothers looked at each other and walked out.
On the distant mountain peaks.
Dylan stands in "The Witch"'s castle.
"Ah...it came so soon...I thought it would be later."
Kureha was sitting by the window sill with a cigarette in her mouth. Although she said she was surprised, her expression was very calm.
"Come to find an answer?"
Dylan took a look at her, this woman who lived for 140 years with a human body...
"I never look for answers from my enemies."
Outside the castle, strong winds and blizzard filled the sky, and Kureha nodded.
Doesn't seem to be surprised by the answer either.
"Come to finish me?" The cigarette in her hand was flickered by the strong wind blowing in.
"Do not."
Dylan glanced at the medical equipment around him.
"I'm not one of those guys on Mariejois, and I don't think 'D' can do anything in the future."
Hearing Dylan's words, Kureha froze for a moment.
After Dylan warned her that year, she never left the Chia Kingdom.
Occasionally going down the mountain is just to discuss medicine with the new medical team or to supplement some necessary living supplies.
Dylan also thought about whether she would leave the Chia Kingdom to go to the Sabaody Archipelago or De Reiss Rosa to help the Straw Hats, but she didn't.
It seems that after helping Teach to transform her body, the agreement between them was cleared up.
"Although you didn't come to seek answers...but..."
After pondering for a while, Kuleha said: "The Drum Kingdom has received favors from the D clan, and we have promised them that when someone from the D clan comes to ask for help, we will repay it with medical skills. "
"This agreement... has been completed."
"That's why I didn't kill you."
Having not participated in the previous two fights, has proven her stance and attitude.
Although Mariejois' dark thread once said that Five Elders also has a certain amount of attention to her.
But just like what Dylan said to Golden Lion back then.
He didn't want to dig too much into history beyond necessary information.
Nor does he want to bury history.
"When this is over, I will release Tony Tony Chopper at my discretion. But he and you must be subject to some level of supervision. The crime of destroying Enies Lobby—"
"Use medical skills to 'redeem'!"
