I, a Celestial Dragon!

"Hahaha, don't I understand? You are a candidate for general.

Otherwise, after I come back from the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Gawain and I will write a letter to the Five Elders, requesting the creation of a fourth admiral position for the navy!

Didn’t the pirates have a fourth emperor recently? Of course, the navy should also have four admirals to be symmetrical! "

Musgarud warmly invited Diyuan, so the three of them walked in front and came to the banquet hall filled with laughter.

Huge round tables were arranged in rows, with particularly large spaces between them. Beside the round tables, Musgarud's servants were constantly replacing new dishes and wine, while in the spaces, mermaids were singing and dancing, and the air was filled with the smell of joy.

Seeing Gawain coming back, the dancing mermaids stopped their tails, pointed at Gawain and shouted in surprise.

"Gao Wensheng is back!"

"It's Lord Gawain!"

"Go and make a toast."

"My lord's pants are wet, quickly get the pants the head maid prepared for us!"

Amid the shouting, Triss led a group of murlocs and rushed to the bedroom in a hurry, and took out all the clothes that Brooke had brought for them.

Another group of mermaids rushed to Gawain, and asked him with a smile about his recent journey and his relationship with Diyuan.

Di Yuan was a little confused. It had been a long time since she met such a passionate group of women.

Surrounded by this group of chattering women, Di Yuan pursed his lips and wanted to pull out a knife to cut something.

Of course, she was just thinking about it. Besides, as an older girl, meeting a group of young girls made her feel like she had regained a little bit of her youth.

On the side, Gawain walked towards the bedroom surrounded by mermaids, and then Triss and others brought his change of clothes.

"Lord Gawain, should we help you change it?"

"We can, even though we haven't done it before, but there's no problem."

"Do you need help?"

"unnecessary!"

Gawain shook his head to reject the mermaids' enthusiasm, then hurried to the bedroom to change his clothes, and then returned to the banquet hall.

Seeing Gawain coming out, Musgarud waved.

"Here, come and sit down, I have a lot to talk to you about."

"Ah."

Gawain nodded and sat down next to Musgarud, while Diyuan followed and sat on the other side of Gawain.

Musgarud said to Gawain as he raised his drink.

"When you went to the naval base, I had already chosen our ship, which was a heavy-duty building ship.

It's not that I like big ships, it's just that I've been in a shipwreck before, if the ship is bigger, even if I encounter danger, the chances of survival will be higher, right?"

At this point, Musgarud clinked glasses with Gawain. Gawain tasted the wine and it tasted similar to the champagne in his previous life.

But the color of this wine is... green, and it also has a grassy aroma, which is magical.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Gawain put down the cup and a maid immediately refilled it for him.

One cup after another, one lamp after another, four or five hours later, Musgarud was really a little drunk.

Musgard sighed and spoke while recalling the past.

"General Di Yuan probably doesn't know why we are going to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, eh...

Five years ago, the major member states of the World Government had a cooperation. Although that year was not the year of the World Conference, they wanted to hold an additional World Conference. The agenda was to allow the Kingdom of Ryugu to join the ranks of the Allied Nations.

At that time, I had not yet met Princess Otohime, so I was just like an ordinary Celestial Dragon, stupid and cruel.

Not only did I unite with other Celestial Dragons to oppose the World Government's decision, I was even radical enough to want to kill every fishman in the Ryugu Kingdom. I coated the ship and then sailed to the Ryugu Kingdom, intending to kill Neptune directly with my guards.

As a result, I encountered a giant sea king, our coating and ship were all destroyed, the shipwreck killed all my guards, and I fell into the Kingdom of Ryugu by chance.

Even though I was covered in wounds, I still held the gun and wanted to kill the fishmen approaching me. Of course, they also wanted to kill me.

I understand them, those who want to kill me have been cursed by my rude laughter, or maybe they are slaves saved by Tiger.

What they hate the most are the Celestial Dragons, but I don't deserve to hate them.

I should have died there, they shot me, but I didn't expect Princess Otohime to suddenly arrive.

The beautiful princess used her body to block the bullets, protecting me, a bastard who was extremely ugly both in appearance and in heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Musgarud slammed the cup hard on the table. Fortunately, the noise in the banquet was very loud, and the mermaids who were singing and dancing were not scared by Musgarud.

Of course, the servants around were terrified. They had been staring at Musgarud and Gawain. When they saw the cup was broken, they hurried over and cleaned it up carefully.

Musgarud wiped his hand and it bled a little, but it was no big deal.

He wiped his hand on his clothes and, enduring the pain, spoke to Gao Wen and Di Yuan in a very serious tone.

“This time when I go to the Ryugu Kingdom, I will not only send back those mermaids, but also fulfill Princess Otohime’s dream.

After saving me, the princess talked to me for a long time, she sent me back to Marijoa, and then I gave her what she had always dreamed of.

That is the experimental clause that the Five Elders allow the Dragon Palace Kingdom to become a member state!

Princess Otohime's dream has always been to allow all fish-people to live on land, or next to land, just like humans.

They also want to see the sunset and sunrise every day.

When I asked for the clause for her, I thought we would save each other and help each other like friends, and finally stand in the sun together to realize our new ideals.

But just a few days later, I heard the news of Princess Otohime's death and the disappearance of the article, and the Kingdom of Ryugu also lost the opportunity to land on land!"

Snapped!

Musgarud patted Gawain on the shoulder. He was a little drunk, so he held Gawain tightly involuntarily.

Gao Wen felt a little pain, and he couldn't help but frowning. Seeing this, Di Yuan's nose twitched slightly, and then Di Yuan gently kicked the corner of the table.

thump.

The sudden shock made Musgarud's table tremble. Musgarud swayed for a moment, and his grip on Gawain's hand loosened.

Gawain took this opportunity to raise his glass and said to Musgarud.

“What a painful memory, Senior, I can sense your resentment and anger.

So, this glass of wine is for Otohime!"

"Cheers to Otohime!"

After clinking glasses, Gawain filled his glass and then picked it up again.

“Senior, don’t worry, you will definitely have a chance to avenge Princess Otohime, I promise.

So this glass of wine is for your future revenge!"

"I will avenge Otohime. Cheers!"

"There are regrets in the past and hatred in the future. The pure friendship has become a thing of the past. Whether it is you who have changed your ways or Otohime who is kind and generous, you should not have become like this.

So this glass of wine is for the simple people, for the kind people, and for those who should have a better life than they have now. They deserve a better life. "

"She deserves it, she really deserves it, if I didn't already have a wife, if she wasn't already someone else's wife, if there weren't so many ifs, if I could go back five years.

I...I must save you, I wish you were still alive, Otohime..."

thump!

Musgarud lay on the table, completely drunk.

After dealing with this frustrated middle-aged man, Gawain raised his slightly drunken eyes and looked around.

The mermaids were almost drunk as well. They were entangled with each other's tails and whispering to each other.

There were also singers and an opera troupe invited by Musgarud. After a few hours of banquet, everyone was a little tired.

So Gao Wen stood up, clapped his hands gently, and said.

"Musgarud is drunk, and so am I. There is no need for any more performances here, and you should all get drunk.

What could be more relaxing than a party where both the host and the guests enjoy themselves?"

After saying this, Gawain ignored the drunken cheers and turned to walk out of the mansion.

Di Yuan immediately stood up and followed him.

The two left the banquet hall, walked through the corridor, and stood next to the garden in the courtyard that was filled with the scent of soap.

Looking at the stars in the night sky and listening to the cheers and drinking sounds coming from the banquet hall behind him, Di Yuan spoke softly.

“Sir, it turns out that there is such a story behind our upcoming journey.

The Navy also has some judgment on the death of Princess Otohime, and it is very likely due to internal conflicts among mermaids. "

"I know."

Gao Wen nodded, and at the same time he looked towards the garden and smiled deeply.

“The location of Ryugu Kingdom is right between the Grand Line and the New World, and it is almost the only passage for pirates from these two places.

This geographical location is destined to be of great significance.

Di Yuan, although you have just followed me, you won’t have much free time.

After arriving at the Dragon Palace Kingdom, I will go to meet the person I want to recruit, and you will investigate the darkness behind the Dragon Palace City for me.

In order to investigate the cause of death of Princess Otohime, it is necessary for us to get involved in the internal affairs of the Ryugu Kingdom.

The Whitebeard flag has been flying in Ryugu Castle for too long. I would feel at ease only if I have control of this important transportation route.

What do you think? "

"Of course!"

Di Yuan's eyes flashed. The master really had something in mind. After just one banquet, his ambition had already been revealed to him.

Can we seize the pirates' path to the New World with just one move?

So what do adults want next, or even in the end?

Di Yuan has begun to look forward to it.

Will it be the world?

Chapter 31 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight

Seeing that Di Yuan agreed so readily, Gao Wen smiled with satisfaction. His choice was indeed the right one.

As a candidate for general, a guy like Chatun, who is as wretched as Borsalino, as lazy as Kuzan, but no more obedient than Sakaski, will never be as easily infected as Diyuan.

However, even if he was infected, it could not change the fact that the moon was already hanging high in the sky. Gawain took a last look at the moonlight and snapped his fingers.

Hey!

There was a crisp sound, and Di Yuan looked at Gawain in confusion. In her eyes, Gawain spoke very gently.

"That's all for today. First I caused you trouble in Marinford, and then I took you to drink a lot of wine.

It’s late, time to rest.”

At this moment, Di Yuan was slightly stunned. She had never been urged to rest by a man in her life!

She lowered her head slightly, and as Di Yuan's chin approached her chest, she also hummed softly.

"Well, please choose the bedroom, Gao Wensheng. I will find a place closest to you to rest, and I will always use my observation Haki to keep an eye on your safety."

"Haha, no need, this is the Sabaody Archipelago, even the Four Emperors won't attack a Celestial Dragon here.

Now that you are in Shampooland, you should take a good rest."

Gawain smiled and waved his hand, then walked along the courtyard, around the banquet hall, and headed towards the tree house in the distance under the guidance of the servants.

Di Yuan followed Gao Wen, giving him serious instructions as they walked.

"My Lord, please don't think like that, Three... No, the Four Emperors, or any other ambitious bigwigs.

It is indeed unlikely that they would actively harm the Celestial Dragons.

But just because we don't have to worry about the big guys doesn't mean there aren't small people in the world who take risks.
