Pirate Warm Sea

Chapter 7 Holy Sword: Caliburi

"Yeah." Joel had to reply echoing in the empty temple, suddenly thought that the people here are not all dead?In an instant, he was so frightened that his hair exploded all over, and he jumped up.

Looking back, he saw a girl in a pure white princess dress standing in front of him.With just one glance, the girl's face was already engraved in the deepest part of his mind.

Under the golden crown of the princess is a long head of silver hair, her skin is as fair as fat, and her golden pupils are clear and transparent. Although the cherry fan has a plain mouth and the willow waist is small, it is not as good as the princess in case.When we met for the first time on the isolated island of the Golden Palace, the first time I saw His Highness, I missed my life.

"I..." Joel opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.There is only one thought in my mind, that she will not marry in this life.I didn't realize how there was a person in this dead place, a young and beautiful woman.

The princess walked by Joel, and the faint fragrance penetrated into Joel's mind. A restless heart immediately calmed down, and he felt a peace that he had never felt before. Even if thousands of years passed, he would not be shaken at all. Princess When he came to the sword, he said, "It's called Caliburi, and it was my father's sword when he fought in the world. After the world was settled, and my father came back with his armor removed, he enshrined this sword here."

Although the English is a bit broken, Joel still understands that the person in front of him is the daughter of the emperor in the mural!So how old is she this year?Although he was very surprised, Joel still didn't look excited at all. The woman in front of him should be what she said.

The princess rubbed the sword carefully, and the sword began to glow with seven colors.She immersed in the memory and continued: "Father was the greatest hero of that era, leading people out of the darkness, and established the royal city of Durandak. He was revered by the world as the emperor of all ages, and people swore to be willing for generations to come Follow him and be his people. The sacred tree gave him the power of eternal life, so that he can really rule this world from generation to generation."

"Then how did it become like this now?" Joel asked.

The princess continued to recall: "But my father was too kind. He thought that after the world was settled, there would be no need for an army, so he disbanded the invincible army and appointed eight commanders as eight princes to manage the world for him. But How can people's hearts be so easily satisfied? When a person gains power and power, he will seek eternal life, especially if they know that the power of eternal life does exist."

"You mean someone rebelled?"

The princess ignored Joel and continued on her own: "When they saw their bodies getting older and older, they became more and more anxious, begging the sacred tree to grant them eternal life, but the sacred tree ignored them. But someone promised them They can be given eternal life, but the condition is to overthrow Durandak's rule and destroy this sacred tree that has sheltered them all their lives."

The princess looked at the golden body of the sacred tree, stroked it gently with her right hand, and said, "The power of eternal life is so tempting, those people just agreed. They started plotting to destroy Durandak. The leader of those people is my father." The head of the eight imperial kings, Holy King Hotep. He led [-] armies and surrounded Durandak secretly, and asked to see him alone. His father waited for him with a big banquet in the palace on the sacred tree. The favorite general in the past, he swore to be the holy king who will share the country."

Speaking of the princess's cold face, she finally could not collapse, she covered her mouth, tears dripped down one by one, and fell on the king sword, and the king sword made a buzzing sound, "Father was so happy that day , but the man whom I have called my uncle for decades cut open the sacred tree with a black sword given to him by darkness."

"In itself, this will not cause any irreparable damage to the sacred tree, but, but..."

The princess was crying more and more, Joel wanted to go forward to comfort him, but seeing his dirty hands, he dared not touch the princess's white dress, and said softly, "Stop talking."

The princess wiped away tears, and continued: "But that is the enchantment that seals darkness in this world. Under the sacred tree is suppressing the god of darkness—the evil dragon Nidhogg. The evil dragon took advantage of the crack to break through the seal and pushed God tree. My father, mother, and brother went out to fight together, and finally lost to the evil dragon and the combination of those people. In the end, the three of them severely injured the evil dragon with their own lives. Hotep led the twenty troops to destroy Durandak. He also received the power of immortality bestowed by the dragon."

"I survived under the protection of the four angel statues."

After saying that, the princess hugged her knees and began to cry. Joel couldn't help shedding two tears when he thought of his mother.Looking at the crying and sad princess, my heart broke, as long as I have the courage, I will take the princess home!

He embraced the princess with trembling hands, and the princess lay on his chest and wept loudly, and the crying echoed continuously in the golden palace.

Joel is hugging the beauty here, but Smoker is anxious. He received a report that seven pirate ships jointly attacked a small warship. Smoker didn't think much after hearing it. Donghai can kill Joe My pirate hasn't been born yet!
but!Joel's phone couldn't get through, and all the warships dispatched reported that he could not be found.Smoker walked up and down, his eyes on the phone bug on the table.

Trembling with fright, Smoke called Major General Gion, "Hello, Major General Gion?"

Gion was sitting in Lieutenant General Crane's office. At the same time, Lieutenant General Garp brought tea, Marshal Warring States brought dessert, and the four of them were drinking afternoon tea beautifully.

Suddenly the phone worm thought, the pink phone worm looked like a rabbit, Gion picked up the phone and said, "I'm Gion, are you?"

"Oh, Smoker, why are you looking for me? Is that kid Joel getting into trouble?" Gion Meimei took a sip of tea, her eyes full of smiles.

Smoker said tremblingly: "Ah, what, Major Joel suddenly lost contact."

"Lost contact?!!!!" Gion said angrily, "Smog, you'd better explain clearly to my old lady, otherwise my old lady will go over and pick your skin right now!"

Gion's roar frightened Garp, who was eating senbei, and looked at Gion foolishly with a runny nose. Sengoku directly bit the donut in his mouth, and shook his head. It was Joel, that troublemaker again.

Lieutenant General Crane coughed lightly, reminding Gion to pay attention to his image.

Smoker was so frightened that he hurriedly explained the situation, and Zhiyuan replied after hearing it: "You don't blame Smoker for this matter, I will go and deal with that kid myself later."

"Yes, yes, yes." Smoker nodded quickly, and hung up the phone with a sigh of relief. Why did the furious woman be reasonable today?
Gion told the situation to Sengoku and others, and Admiral He thought for a while and said: "All members of the seven pirate ships were killed, and most of the wounds were gunshot wounds. Most of them were not caused by Joel. That kid likes to speak directly with his fists."

Garp grinned and said, "My Iron Fist of Love."

Lieutenant General He glared at Garp like that, every day he was out of shape, and Garp shrank back.

Lieutenant General He said again: "Proving that there was a third party present at the time of the incident, the key lies in this third party. There are basically no people who can hurt Joel in the East China Sea, unless they are pirates returning from the great route, or Some hidden forces." After that, he glanced at Garp, the meaning is self-evident.

"Check to see if there is a pirate group returning to the East China Sea on the Great Route recently. As for you, don't go to the East China Sea."

"No, I'll go."

Here the heartless Joel hugged the goddess, and was very excited at the moment. The princess leaned on Joel's shoulder, and the two sat on the ground like this, listening to the wind outside the temple.

After a long time, Joel broke the silence and asked, "Your Highness, are the fruits on the sacred tree devil fruits?"

"Devil fruit, what is that?"

Joel gestured: "It's a kind of fruit that can give people a kind of ability, such as setting fire and ice, with strange patterns, and it's particularly unpalatable."

Seeing Joel's funny expression, the princess chuckled, "That's called holy fruit, it grows on the sacred tree, and it's not only not bad to eat, it's also delicious."

"Delicious?" The taste of aristocrats is really not something a country bumpkin like me can understand.

Seeing Joel's stagnant speech, the princess said angrily, "What are you thinking? The reason why the sacred fruit is unpalatable now is that the sacred tree cast three curses when it was pushed. First, let the fruit become It’s unpalatable. Second, you can’t go into the sea after eating it. Third, eating the second one will explode. This is to prevent Hotep from eating all the fruits, so that future generations can’t sanction him. And don’t call me Your Royal Highness, call me I hope it will be."

"Hitty." Joel nodded.

"Go, it's Hitty." Hitty pushed Joel away and stood up.Joel secretly thought it was a pity, and stood up together.

Xiti asked Joel, who was looking around, "I saw you drawing this sword when I came in just now, why do you want this sword so much?"

Joel nodded and said, "Yeah." I came here just to hunt for treasure, and it's nothing to return empty-handed.

Xiti stroked the sword and said, "This is my father's sword, it's okay to give it to you."

"Really?!" Joel exclaimed in surprise.

"But I have one condition."

I knew it.Joel was disappointed for a while, "What condition." It is probably difficult to complete.

"I want you to stay here with me forever in the future." Xiti said seriously.

"I..." Seriously, looking at Xitie's peerless face, Joel's heart was moved.

The two looked at each other like this, and finally Joel replied, "I refuse."

Although he really wanted to stay with the beauty in front of him like this for the rest of his life, he still had unfulfilled dreams outside.He hasn't finished cultivating the socialist core values ​​of One Piece World, and hasn't completed the instructions, so he can't just spend the rest of his life here like this.And she will look down on me too.

Did you really refuse?Risking his life to come here, the man in front of him is definitely not a person who only knows how to love his children.Am I going to continue to be alone here in the future?
"Why don't you go out?" Joel asked.

This question is kind of idiotic!

"Didn't you encounter the poisonous miasma left by the evil dragon when you came in?"

"Yes." Joel nodded.

"The poisonous miasma erodes people with higher strength more obviously. Of course, people with no strength are killed instantly, and I can't walk through it."

Um?You mean my food.

"I did not mean it."

Joel rolled his eyes, it's okay not to say.

"And you speak so strangely, the language of Durandac probably isn't spoken outside. Who can I communicate with when I go out?"

I think my English is bad.All kinds of invisible blows in front of powerful people.

"I did not mean it."

again.

After thinking for a while, Joel solemnly said: "Xitie, don't worry, I will come again when I am strong enough to take you out, I will come back again. I will definitely take you out then."

Really?But can you be stronger than me?Can it be stronger than Hotep?Can it be stronger than Ned Hogg?
"You can take a gamble." Joel showed his white teeth and smiled sincerely. His voice kept echoing in the temple.

Xiti smiled, "Okay, I don't ask too much, I just hope that you can come back every once in a while and talk to me about the outside world."

As for the promise to rescue her, Xi Ti laughed it off, it was impossible.

Joel said happily: "No problem."

"Take it." Hitty said happily.

But Joel didn't do it for a long time, and Xiti asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Joel blushed, "I can't pull it out."

"Pfft——" Xi Ti turned around with a smile, held the hilt of the sword with her right hand, and raised it lightly, "Q——" the sharp sword came out of the stone.

It was so easy, and Joel next to him widened his eyes in disbelief. Is this the legendary king?
