I, a Celestial Dragon!

After she finished speaking, Di Yuan retreated behind Gao Wen, raised her head and spoke proudly.

"Sir, we can set off now."

"Well, it's you, Di Yuan, as expected. You are very impressive."

Gao Wen praised with a smile, then left the mansion with Di Yuan.

Behind them, the eight guards sighed depressedly, then quickly followed.

As he walked, Gawain shook his head.

"The quality of those guards is pretty good, but their personalities have been deeply influenced by the city of Marijoa."

"As far as your safety is concerned, the guards did nothing wrong, sir."

Di Yuan responded while looking up at the sky.

In the morning when the sun is shining brightly, the bubbles filling the Chabaoti Archipelago turn the air into rainbow colors.

Colorful glow dotted the sky and stretched between the bubbles. Under the fluorescent light, Di Yuan took a deep breath.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Gawain asked.

"Yes, it's really beautiful." Di Yuan responded confusedly.

She has been focusing on pirates and fighting for a long time. How long has it been since she slowly appreciated this kind of scenery?

but……

Just when the two were watching, a voice that spoiled the mood suddenly came from behind them.

"Damn it! He didn't even kneel when he saw the Celestial Dragon Master!"

The moment this voice fell, the pedestrians passing by the street where Gao Wen was were stunned.

They immediately looked around, and their eyes gradually focused on Gao Wen and Di Yuan.

After all, on this road, their clothes are the coolest.

It would be fine if you didn't look at it. If you look closely, you will know that although the pattern on Gao Wen's windbreaker is not very obvious, it is not just for show after all.

thump!

The people behind Gawain knelt down first, after all, the pattern behind Gawain was relatively large.

Immediately afterwards, everyone around knelt down.

People lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. Gawain saw sweat gathering on their foreheads and then dripping.

The next moment, kneeling seemed to spread like an infection, from near Gawain to the distance.

Such a scene...

Gao Wen suddenly lost the pleasure of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

On the side, Di Yuan was also a little helpless, but what could she say? The guards were not wrong. The rule of kneeling down to worship the Celestial Dragons has been passed down for more than 700 years.

But being in the center of the crowd, Di Yuan was a little confused. She carefully glanced at Gao Wen's profile.

Have adults always grown up in this kind of environment?

Gao Wen ignored Di Yuan's gaze, nor did he stop the guards' actions.

In particular, he did not try to get the people around him who were already kneeling to stand up.

It was not him who made people kneel down, but the rules of this world.

If you want them to stand up, you can't rely on orders. Orders will only make those kneeling people more uneasy.

So Gawain lost the mood to travel, his pace became faster and faster, and before long, he arrived at Tree Island No. 13.

Crossing the bridge between the islands, Gawain waved his hand and the guards immediately gathered around.

"Go find a bar called 'Xia Qi's Rip-off Bar', go!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately took the order and left.

……

Not long ago, on Tree Island No. 13, in Xia Qi’s extortion bar.

An old man with white hair, white beard and round-framed glasses pushed open the door of the bar.

The old man was wearing old beach-style clothes and a dirty cloak on his back. He was leaning on a cane in his left hand and holding a large bag in his right hand, and it was unknown what was in it.

Seeing the old man come in, a stern-looking woman with short hair frowned at the bar.

But she still opened two bottles of rum, put one to her mouth and threw the other to the old man.

"You came back a little late. You should have come back last night."

"Haha, I was delayed by something."

The old man dropped the big bag, freed his hands to catch the rum, and sat down in the nearest seat carelessly.

After taking a big sip, the old man put down the bottle and said with emotion.

"Don't blame me, Xia Qi, after all, such a big thing happened yesterday.

I haven't seen the sky shaking for a long time, I must go and broaden my horizons!"

"Haha, you just gained some new knowledge. I thought your old heart was getting restless again, Rayleigh."

"How could that be? I am just a poor sailor without a captain. How can a person like me set foot on any ship again?"

Rayleigh chuckled, took another sip of rum, then continued speaking while holding the bottle.

"By the way, this is what I got yesterday. The good man who bought me at the auction yesterday was very rich. I robbed about eight million."

"Hehe, you know that's not what I want to hear."

“Yes, you must be curious, what happened between Marijoa and Marinford?

Anyway, after robbing the treasure, I took a look around the coating factory and learned that the Celestial Dragon Musgard was going to Fishman Island with Gawain.

Gawain is the first celestial dragon to leave Marijoa. His personality is not yet known, but after I followed Musgarud to Island No. 73, I saw Gawain from afar.

The reason why we didn't investigate further is because Gawain has a formidable guard by his side. Guess who it is?"

"Uh-huh, who is it?"

"It's Diyuan. When she was a child, she chased me and Roger and others for several years on Zefa's ship. Later, she followed the crane and chased the flamingo for a long time.

In short, that kid is a candidate for a general, which is amazing. She is not even forty years old, right? "

"Haha, old man, the woman in Diyuan is not as old as you say, she is still very young.

According to intelligence, Di Yuan had just returned to Marinford two days ago, and her warship had been under preparation, but today she followed Gawain.

Well, today’s Celestial Dragon Gawain has appeared in Marijoa and Marinford.

So, the sky of Marijoa and Marinford was probably the work of this Gawain?"

After she finished speaking, Xia Qi took a sip of wine.

After drinking the wine, she put down her glass and lit a cigarette. While smoking, she continued to talk to Rayleigh.

“The Celestial Dragons are really interesting. The last time I heard that they had new blood, I hadn’t even landed yet.

How many years ago was that? It must have been more than 40 years ago, right? "

"Don't mention your age in front of me. Haven't you always been this young, Miss Xia Qi?"

Rayleigh squinted his eyes and teased, and Xia Qi blew a smoke ring at him in annoyance.

"I'm talking about the Five Elders, not their ages. The last time the Five Elders changed was probably a few years before Captain Rocks declared war on the Celestial Dragons, right?

He was also anxious. He had been working so hard, but there always seemed to be new blood appearing among the Celestial Dragons.

If we had not been so impatient and had postponed the war against the Celestial Dragons for a dozen years, the sea might have really changed!"

"Forget it, forget it. Let's stop saying those old things. All that's left is regret.

Sometimes I also think that if Roger could live a few more decades, the sea would be different, but that's just imagination, hahahaha!"

"Shut up, old man. I will avenge you sooner or later."

"Haha, I'm waiting. Anyway, I've been waiting for many years. After I die, you can just kick over my tombstone, girl."

"Tsk, when you're buried, I won't offer you rum."

"That's really vicious, you are just like me, Xia...wait!"

Rayleigh frowned deeply behind his glasses, picked up his cane, and walked quickly to the door of the tavern.

Behind the bar, Xia Qi froze at first, then suddenly smiled bitterly.

"We have a distinguished guest, old man."

"Well, it's really troublesome. I thought they could tolerate an old man like me for a few more years. Oh..."

Chapter 33: Pluto is worthy of his reputation

On the huge tree root in the northwest of Tree Island No. 13, there is a lonely and extremely small tavern.

Gao Wen and Di Yuan walked along the path and came to the steps leading to the roots of the tree. As they were walking, Di Yuan frowned.

Click!

Di Yuan tightly grasped the Jinbi Luo at her waist with her left hand, and at the same time she used her right hand to block Gawain's forward steps.

"Sir, there is a very strong guy over there!"

"Don't be on guard, he's just an old man. He hasn't been a pirate for a long time."

Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, then ignored Di Yuan's right hand and walked up the stairs relaxedly.

When he stepped on the top of the tree roots and was only about twenty meters away from the tavern in front of him, the door of the tavern finally opened.

Xia Qi walked out of the door with a cigarette in her mouth and gave Gao Wen a teasing smile.

“What a rare visitor, Brother Gawain.

I have been running a tavern here for decades, and this is the first time I have received a Celestial Dragon, so do I need to kneel down?"

"Xia Qi, you are always so well-informed. Even though I just left Mary Geoise yesterday, your name has already reached your ears."

Gawain responded, then chuckled and shook his head.

"As for kneeling, no, if you like kneeling, you can go find my fellow hooded people. They will like you."

"Haha, their liking is not a good thing!"

Xia Qi shook her head, blew out a smoke ring, and then moved towards the door.

"If it's Xia Qi and Rayleigh you want to see, then come in and talk."

"Oh?"

Facing Xia Qi's invitation, Gao Wen tilted his head slightly. He still had the same smile on his face, but for some reason, he looked a little dangerous at this moment.

He just asked softly.

"But what if the people I want to see are Peony and Pluto?"

“Well, it’s not a good thing to be harsh with your words, kid.

But never mind, no matter who you are looking for, come in and talk, hey…"

The cigarette at the corner of Xia Qi's mouth tilted, and then she retreated into the tavern. Beside her, Rayleigh stroked his cane with a wry smile.

Outside the door, Gao Wen paused for a moment, then turned back and said jokingly to Di Yuan.

"You see, the old folks are always like this, calling people little devils all the time, and we don't think they are rude."

After he finished speaking, Gao Wen walked directly into Xia Qi's tavern without any fear.

Looking at Pluto and Peony standing in front of him, Gawain clapped his hands gently.

“Two elders, please don’t add a small character to other people’s names or call them little devils.

Because that doesn’t sound cool and it makes you look old.”
