The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Without waiting for Ainz to reply, the devil with a treacherous look on his face began to dance with joy.

“I see! I understand! As expected of Ainz-sama, he has such courage and foresight that he can see into the future 10 years... no, 100 years!”

Ainz: ???

I have to state in advance that I didn't think of anything. I simply felt that having JOJO's abilities as a supplement would be a good way to restrain Shalltear's attributes.

He was met with admiring looks from Albedo and Demiurge, and after thinking it over, he decided not to say anything more.

He just waved his hand and said, "Follow the order."

The two of them responded in unison, “As you command, Ainz-sama!”

the other side.

Accompanied by Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff, the princess's attendant Climb arrived at the door of the hotel where John and his companions were staying with a solemn expression on his face.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and, following the information he had obtained from the palace spies, went directly to the top floor and found Room 330.

After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing out of place on him, he raised his hand and tapped it gently a few times.

After a while, a response came from the room, "Come in."

Climb pushed the door open.

What came into view was a handsome man with a naked upper body and strong muscles. It was the gold-level adventurer JOJO who had committed a heinous crime in the palace hall before!

"It's you, Little Lick." Jon smiled.

“Little…little lick?” Climb had prepared a lot of words, but the word “little lick” ruined everything.

Jon spread his hands and said, "The princess's licker is just a little licker."

He looked at Clem, who had a stubborn look on his face, and asked, "So, Xiaolick-san, what do you want from me?"

Climb was instantly silenced.

I held it in for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

Gazef Stronoff, who was accompanying him, said loudly, "This child wants to duel with you for the princess' honor... But before that, I also have something to discuss with you. I hope you will do me a favor."

Chapter 377 Exclusive Mission, Crusade Begins

"Talk? Sure, I like to reason the most."

Jon smiled and held out his hand, inviting Gazef Stronoff to sit down on the vacant chair in the room.

As for Climb, who looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, he was ignored by him magnificently.

Gazef sighed inwardly, patted his little brother’s shoulder gently, and sat down opposite Jon with confidence. He said, “No matter who is right or wrong, what you did in the palace was a bit too much…”

"and many more!"

Just after hearing the beginning, Jon became a little impatient, "What do you mean by 'no matter who is right or wrong'? It means to ignore the facts, right?

No, I just like to get to the bottom of things. Lord Gazef, please tell me, if those nobles hadn't bullied me time and again, how could I have been so angry and hurt people in the palace?"

What do you mean by wounding someone? You have already killed someone.

A trace of helplessness flashed across the warrior commander's resolute face.

Of course he knew that the reason for such a big commotion was entirely because of the nobles' own fault.

In fact, he also looked down on those nobles who only knew how to talk big but did nothing to benefit the country.

but.

Gazef was a pure warrior. He didn't know much about politics and it was difficult for him to say much.

After thinking for a moment, I decided to drop the topic and talk about other things.

"What do you want to do next? Do you want to go to war with the kingdom?"

For some reason, Gazef actually added, "Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, personal strength has its limits after all. One person cannot fight against an army on a frontal battlefield."

"Really?" Jon blinked. "If that day ever comes, I wouldn't mind opening your eyes."

Changing the subject, "However, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the kingdom. Everything I did before was just for self-protection... and a little revenge."

Gazef felt relieved when he heard that John had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Kingdom.

At least, the worst thing didn't happen.

As for the rest...

Alas, as I said, he is just a pure warrior and can't care about so many things.

Suddenly, Climb, who had calmed down, shouted, “What about the princess? You bastard, why did you want to damage her reputation?!”

Pregnant out of wedlock?

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!

Since Climb became the princess's attendant, he has hardly ever left Lana's side.

To put it bluntly, there was absolutely no chance that JOJO would marry the princess under his nose. Climb was quite sure of this.

Meeting the other person's gaze, Jon smiled, "Why? Oh, nothing, just looking at the old man on the throne...

Ahem, Mr. Gazef, I'm sorry, please forgive my crudeness. Anyway, I just didn't like that old guy, so I deliberately broke his defense.

It turns out that my counterattack was quite effective, wasn't it? "

As soon as these words came out, Climb and Gazef’s faces turned ugly.

But there was nothing they could do.

After all, skills are inferior to people.

In this world where strength determines status, if the other party is willing to sit down and talk to them calmly, it is tantamount to showing them special favor.

“…No matter what, that gentleman is the monarch of a country after all. I hope that Lord JOJO will show the necessary respect to him in your words.” After a long pause, Gazef spoke with a serious expression.

Unexpectedly, Jon, who was always easy to talk to, was not going to give him this face. He sneered, "A monarch? I didn't see it. I only saw a foolish, incompetent, weak and selfish old man."

Without waiting for Gazef to open his mouth to refute, he continued, "Sir, I believe that with your wisdom, you can also see that the internal order of the kingdom is out of order, and the king has almost become a puppet who can only nod and agree, and the ones who really hold power are those nobles I killed.

In other words, both the king you serve and his three children should thank me because I paved the way for them. "

Warrior Captain Gazef was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to refute, but thinking of the things that happened in the Bahas Empire, he had to admit that in a sense, Jon did inadvertently consolidate the power of the royal family.

This can be seen from the unusually respectful attitude of the surviving nobles towards Princess Lana, the 'lover' who is suspected of being pregnant with JOJO's child.

And according to the rumors he heard, even many nobles were wondering if all this was a pre-arranged "drama" directed by the king or his three children in person, in order to reclaim most of the power in the kingdom...

Seeing that Gazef and Climb were silent, John smiled and said, "What I mean is, as long as the kingdom doesn't bother me, then I won't bother to pay attention to you. After all, I'm an adventurer, I have no nationality and no position.

In fact, if you hadn’t come to find me, my companions and I would have returned to E-Rantel at night.

Whether to go to the Empire or the Holy Kingdom depends entirely on my mood."

As he said that, he turned his head and locked his eyes on Climb. "As for you, Licking-san, I've seen your feelings for the princess, but some things can't be solved with just passion. Forget about the duel. You're too weak. I'm not interested."

Hearing this, Climb said firmly, “I know you are strong, but I am willing to sacrifice my life to restore the princess’s reputation!”

"Why do you?"

Jon asked back, "You are just a small guard, without a title or reputation. How dare you say such a thing?"

Warning, warning!

Red temperature warning!

Clem, who was not good at speaking, was once again speechless after being rebuked by the old man.

Gazef sighed and stopped Climb who was about to retort.

He stood up and said, "In this case, I will convey your intention to His Majesty the King. As for what happens next, it is not up to me to decide."

"Go ahead and tell that old man exactly what I said. Don't forget to tell him that others are afraid of the army, but I am not. If you have the guts, let him try."

Jon said calmly.

But Gazef keenly sensed a hint of dangerous murderous intent. He said nothing and pulled the stubborn Climb out of the room.

After a while, Narberal and Solution came in.

The two men stared at Jon for a long time without speaking.

Finally, Nabe couldn't help but ask, "So, are we going to face the attack from the kingdom?"

Jon smiled and said, "It's not that serious. I don't believe that the old confused king has the courage to fight to the death. This matter is likely to be left unresolved... By the way, where is Feifei? Why didn't he come?"

Solution followed Ainz's instructions and said calmly, "Mr. Momon is out gathering information."

Qiao En took advantage of the situation and said, "Oh, you went to look for Cang Qiangwei, right? I was wondering why Cang Qiangwei's group was always too nice to me in the palace. I didn't expect that Fei Fei had informed them in advance..."

Solution and Narberal nodded repeatedly.

Coincidentally, almost at the moment he finished speaking, the burly figure of Ainz appeared outside the door.

He looked at Jon in the room, then at his two combat maids, and said in a deep voice, "Are all your things packed? Let's go."

Jon stretched and said, "Let's go. There's nothing good about this crappy place like the capital. It's more comfortable to stay in E-Rantel."

……

……

After returning to E-Rantel, the Phantom Troupe was warmly received by the adventurers.

During the days of traveling back, the news had already spread throughout the kingdom through various channels.

Even the neighboring kingdoms knew that an incredibly powerful adventure team had appeared in the kingdom. Not only did their members dare to massacre nobles in the palace, they even made the king's daughter pregnant...

The most outrageous thing is that even after committing such a heinous act, they were still able to leave the royal capital safely, and the king didn't even dare to send troops to pursue them to save his face.

Disregarding worldly power and wealth as nothing, isn't this kind of status and realm exactly the life that these adventurers who live on the edge of a knife desire?

You know, even the heroic biographies told by the bards don't dare to write about JOJO's "feats" like this!

However, this treatment did not last long.

Because the head of the Adventurer's Guild soon found them and solemnly issued an exclusive mission to them.

“Master Momon, I’m not forcing you, but in this huge E-Rantel, you are the only ones who are most suitable to take on this mission.”

The uncle in charge said earnestly, “For some reason, an undead man wearing armor and holding strange weapons suddenly appeared on the plains dozens of miles away from this city.

Many people have already failed, and even lost their precious lives...

Because of that monster, the caravans no longer wanted to come to E-Rantel to trade.

Mr. Feifei, in the name of the head of the Adventurer's Guild, I beg you to destroy the monsters!"

Ainz sighed and agreed without much thought. "Don't worry. Although we adventurers have no nationality, E-Rantel is our base after all. The Phantom Troupe will never sit idly by."

Hearing this, the uncle in charge was very happy and ordered his men to bring over two large boxes of gold coins. "Mr. Feifei, these are the deposits for the mission. If you defeat the monster, you will get eight more boxes of gold coins after the mission is completed."

The city government and the Adventurer's Guild have invested heavily in the development of E-Rantel.

Ainz nodded. "I'll take the money. We'll set out tomorrow morning to defeat the monsters on the plains."

"If that's the case, that's great." The uncle in charge couldn't help but smile.

After a few pleasantries, he said goodbye.

When only the four members of the 'Phantom Troupe' were left in the room, Fei Fei coughed lightly, "So - this is what we are going to do next."

Jon deliberately frowned, "Fei Fei, don't blame me for being nosy, but isn't it a bit too hasty to accept this mission? We don't even know the strength of that monster, how can we..."

Ainz was silent for a second, then he sighed and said, "Didn't we say we were leaving the Kingdom and heading to the Empire to develop? We'll need some gold coins to keep with us."

He thought that these words would definitely arouse JOJO's inner guilt.

Unexpectedly, Jon said directly, "Then let's not bother anymore. Let's just take these two boxes of gold coins and go directly to the Empire to start a new life."

Ainz: ???

You are such a wicked boy. We in Nazarick need people like you.

However, thinking of the dangers of Shalltear staying outside, he had to reject the proposal. "A man cannot stand without trust. This mission is not only for money, but also a good opportunity for you to improve your strength."

Having said that, Jon didn't say any more. He scratched his brow and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go outside and prepare a few more sacred spells before defeating the monster."
