Chatterbox
“The Kingdom of Tada is not afraid of pirates at all. With its long-standing reputation, those big pirates will not come here, and small pirates will not be able to break through the port gate. Even before they get close, they will be destroyed. For two years, I have not done anything, it is really difficult for me to speak in front of my old friends and colleagues.”
Hugo hid his face in shame.
“Isn’t that good?”
On the other hand, Kuro was excited.
‘No achievements? No pirates?’
Sure!
What a place!
“Peace is good, but as you can see, there is no Marine on this base.”
Hugo sighed. “The original mission of the base in Tada Town was not to catch pirates, but to recruit soldiers here. In the past, Marines could be recruited here, but they couldn’t be recruited three years ago. No matter how good the welfare is, the people of the Tada Kingdom are unwilling to come to be Marines. The current Marines are the people who used to stay here and my subordinates.”
“The people of the Kingdom of Tada are very brave. The World Government is very fond of the source of soldiers here, but it was difficult to find people here in the past, and in recent years, it has been completely impossible to recruit them.”
“I can’t recruit Marines, I can’t catch pirates, I can’t complete the mission, I can only stay here, but as Marines, how can I enjoy such peace for no reason? I want to catch pirates, I want to go back to the sea.”
Hugo said mournfully, “The wind is blowing and the cannons are roaring. Marines and pirates are fighting for peace and freedom on the sea. How can such an Epic be without me, Hugo!”
“Don’t you think so?!” Hugo looked at Kuro and others.
Although Kuro was looking at Hugo now, he didn’t seem to care about what he said. Instead, he frowned. “Chloe…”
“Yes, it is indeed this voice.” Crowe pushed up his glasses. “The tone is no different, but the strange thing is here. Excuse me, Lieutenant Colonel Hugo, did you really not call for help?”
“Me? I didn’t.” Hugo was stunned. “Wait, you mean you got a call for help from me?”
“It’s like this. From the situation of the voice, we concluded that the owner of the voice is dead, but you are normal now. The strange thing is here,” said Crowe.
Kuro nodded. “Generally speaking, if I listened to what you just said and combined it with your call for help, I would think that you were bored out of your mind, but now the situation is not quite right. You have been stationed here for so long, will something strange happen at night?”
As he spoke, he told Hugo what he had said when he met Sipatia.
Hugo scratched his head. “If that’s the case, there’s a conspiracy, but it doesn’t make sense. There is a custom in Tada Town at night, and you can’t go out after nine o’clock. But I’ve been out before, except that there is no one at night. I can’t help but recite a poem to the moonlight.”
“You were here for two years? There was nothing unusual?” Kuro asked.
“Yes… ah, that’s not right. When I came here to garrison, the residents of Tada Town will no longer come to enlist in the Marine. I asked them about this reason. Some of them want to join the Marine, but they don’t say anything. They should have some difficulties, but this is the internal affairs of their kingdom. I once called the higher-ups to report the intelligence here, but there was no follow-up.”
“What about inside Tada Town? Haven’t you been there?”
Hearing this, Hugo shook his head, stood up and pointed out of the window. “See that big door.”
At the end of these towering buildings, there is a huge door connected to the buildings. From this side, you can see the appearance of the door. In addition to the door, there is also an iron door, and the fortress near the door is full of heavy artillery.
“After that, it is the inner part of the Kingdom of Tada, but no one can enter. Except for this port town, the rest of the Kingdom of Tada is not open. And inside that gate lives the Gatekeeper, Lord Gugas. With him, no one can pass.”
“Lord?” Kuro chewed on the word.
Speaking of which, Sipatia had mentioned it before.
“Yes, my lord.”
Hugo’s eyes showed a trace of admiration. “What you said about Sipateria is impossible. Lord Gugas’s character can’t do anything against the Tada Kingdom. Lord Gugas strictly abides by the code of justice and usually helps people in trouble. He is like a real knight. If I am not Marine, maybe I will follow him.”
Kuro stubbed out the cigar that was almost finished and lit another one. He slowly exhaled the smoke. “It’s really annoying…”
This Hugo could not give any information, but the people that Kuro met were not fake, but with the character that that West Patia showed, maybe there is a difference, but it is hard to say.
“Report!”
At this moment, the Captain and the Lieutenant of Tada Town came in together with a bounty in their hands and said, “I found it. That Absolem is really a pirate!”
The picture on the wanted poster was a little old. It showed a young Absolem with slicked-back hair and a dark expression.
[Illusionary Demon Hao] Absolem, bounty of 330 million Berries, dead or alive.
“300 million…”
Leda glanced at it. “It’s not very high.”
“You have to see what time of three hundred million.”
Kuro said, “The background of this photo is at least ten years ago, three hundred million in that era. It’s different from now.”
If that person’s ability is placed in the current supernova, he will be beaten.
If he enters the New World, he will also be a silver medalist.
But it is certain that this Absolem is really a pirate.
“What about Sipatia?” Kuro asked.
“Lieutenant Colonel, Sipathea has not been found. We can’t find any trace of her. She doesn’t seem to be a pirate.”
Kuro narrowed his eyes. “Forget it, let’s interrogate him. That Absolem must have important information. Bring him here.”
“Yes!” Captain and Lieutenant saluted together and went out again.
“300 million!”
Hugo said in surprise, “That man is so tall! If I catch him, I can leave this boring place! But why are there pirates here? How did they come in?”
Kuro glanced at him. “Is it your intelligence or the intelligence here? Didn’t you see the Top War a few days ago?”
“No, there is no Den Den Mushi here that can be broadcast live. I only know that Marine has won when I heard the broadcast. It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to participate in such an epic war and I can’t experience that war for myself. How can I understand the grandness of it just by listening to others? How can I make poems without understanding the grandness of it? How can I sing without making poems? How can the people know the greatness of Marine!”
Hugo hammered the table a few times. “It can’t be fixed! It can’t be fixed! If I was in that war, I…”
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Kuro waved his hand and felt his head start to hurt.
He realized that this person was a f*cking blabbermouth and his words were not getting to the point, making him talk endlessly.
