"Nine Miles!?"

Hearing Marco's words, the little princess Naia in front of her suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and blurted out in surprise, "You...are you also a pirate from the Kaido Pirates!?"

As soon as they heard this, the warriors and ninjas who were in charge of protecting her in the wooden house immediately drew their weapons and rushed up to protect her. The people outside the house also reacted the same way. They all rushed in one by one. The enemy looked at Ian and the three of them.

"Protect His Royal Highness!" they shouted.

Um! ? Why this reaction? Could it be that……

While Ian was thinking, Marco quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are not from the Beast Pirates!"

"Hundred Beast Pirates? What is that..." Princess Naia was stunned for a moment.

Ian slapped his forehead, he understood it, and asked, "This... Princess Naia, you should have heard from someone else about the Kaido Pirates?!"

This little princess called the Beast Pirates the Kaido Pirates, but when she heard the name of Kaido's real pirates, she was blank. This only means that she heard it from someone else. , and it probably doesn't sound so real.

Sure enough, Naia nodded and said, "Yes, I overheard it from my father..."

So, Ian had to explain it to her and said, "The Kaido Pirates are the Beast Pirates, but we are not his pirates! Instead, we are his enemies!"

Ian has already noticed that when the little princess said the words Kaido Pirates just now, the samurai and ninjas here were all nervous, which means that they should have nothing to do with Kaido and the Beast Pirates. Favorable.

As for which side of Princess Naia's father, the daimyo Hitaki of Nishi Ueno, is on, I don't know yet, but Ian feels that at least it won't be on Kaido's side.

Ian guessed right, after hearing that the three were not from the Beasts Pirates, but were the enemies of the Beasts Pirates, the warriors inside and outside the room showed relief, and the ninjas also Almost, although they could not see their expressions with their faces covered, they could feel that their hostility was much less.

Bonnie interjected curiously at this time: "We just asked Jiuli, why do you react so much?"

Naia turned her head to look at Bonnie, looking at her fashionable and sexy dress, her face flushed all of a sudden, but she still secretly looked at Bonnie's clothes, her eyes were full of novelty, but her mouth was still full of novelty. The three replied: "Because normal people don't want to go to Jiuli now, right? The place has been razed to ruins by the Hundred Beast Pirates..."

Hearing this, Marko became anxious and quickly asked, "So, is the war between your general and the Koyuki family really over!?"

Although they knew the news of Ace's arrest, the Whitebeard Pirates basically guessed the situation, but in any case, when Marco came here, he was still expecting a bit of luck, and now he suddenly heard Jiuli was razed to rubble, which was naturally a bit unacceptable.

A group of foreign pirates would care about the war between the general Wano country and a daimyo, which is a bit strange, not to mention Princess Naia, the warriors in the room could not help but look at Ian curiously Three of them.

"Yes, it's over!" Naia nodded and said, "Just the day before yesterday, I received a letter from my father, he told me that the general's army had retreated from Jiuli, and only the people from the Beast Pirates remained. There... Since you are the enemies of the Beast Pirates, are you here to help the Guangyue family fight? I heard from my father that this time the Guangyue family has many strange people to help them resist... …”

Strange people and strange people, probably referring to Estotora and Yizang, right?

This little princess Naia may be a princess, so she seems a little precocious, but no matter what, she is only a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little loli.

Still a little childish, Ian can tell that although she knows some things, she doesn't know much. It is estimated that her father told her, so she only knows there are so many people, but But don't know the details.

Ian thought for a while, and felt that it might be a good thing to meet such a little princess here. You can ask some news from her first.

So Ian asked, "Princess Naia, your father is also one of the great names of Wano?"

"Yeah!" Naia nodded.

"Then, in the war between General Wano and the Koyuki family, didn't your father participate in the war? He is one of the great names. Logically speaking, he should be helping the general, right?" Ian asked.

"No!" Princess Naia shook her head and said, "In fact, not only father, but also two other big names did not participate in this crusade..."

"Oh?" Ian raised his eyebrows, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Can you tell us more about it?"

Looking at Ian's casual appearance, a warrior next to him couldn't help but shout: "Rude! How dare you stand in front of the Hall of Fleece Princess..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Naia wave her hand without hesitation and said, "It's alright!"

After she finished speaking, she said to Ian curiously: "I have actually seen some outsiders. It is said that people from overseas only pay less attention to etiquette in the presence of familiar 'friends' and 'companies'. Am I a friend?"

Ian was also happy to hear this. The little girl felt quite cute, so she nodded and said, "Haha, of course it would be nice to have a little princess as a friend! Let me introduce myself, my name is Ian, and now I am a sea Thief, my pirate group is called the Dragon Hunter Pirates, and this pineapple head, his name is Marco, the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, this ragged little sister is called Bonnie , she's also the captain of a pirate group!"

"What do you mean by ragged clothes!?" Bonnie was unhappy when she heard this.

"Fashion?" Little Princess Naia looked at Bonnie's clothes curiously, her face flushed again, of course she couldn't understand the word fashion, she just felt that Bonnie's clothes were so ashamed...

On the other hand, Ian noticed that the people present in Wano Kingdom did not have much reaction to his self-introduction. They had to say that they did not know the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the newly rising Four Emperor Pirates. It’s okay, but even the veteran Whitebeard Pirates don’t even know about it, which is a bit depressing…

Marco probably felt the same way. In the sea of ​​the new world, he was a celebrity, but when he got here, it was not as attractive as Bonnie's dress...

Little Princess Naia seemed very happy after hearing that Ian was willing to make friends with her. However, the warriors around her were a little annoyed. In their opinion, how noble the status of Her Royal Highness is. How can you casually make friends with pirates of unknown origin? So the eyes staring at Ian are all indignant.

From here, you can actually see a little of the situation in Wano. For the younger generation like Princess Naia, they are willing to accept new things and are curious about the outside world, while some are too deeply influenced by class concepts. People are very uncomfortable with this, just like these samurai present.

For these people, Ian is naturally too lazy to pay attention to them. After successfully pulling in a little relationship with Naia, Ian asked: "Naia, you said that there are several famous names in Wanzhi who are not willing to participate in the war, why is it? What's the matter?"

"In fact, I also listened to what my father said!" Nai's small face also looked a lot more serious at this time, saying: "Because even in Wano country, the Koyue family is a famous family, and they have been loyal ministers for generations, although In the generation of His Royal Highness Oda, the famous Mitsuyuki Mitsuya-sama secretly violated the prohibition and went to sea, and after returning, he has been seeking to open the country of Wano, so he was charged with the crime, but in the eyes of his father, light The Yue family is not guilty of death!"

"It's not just my father who thinks this way, but the other two daimyo also think so. They all feel that they only need to punish the Guangyue family a little, and there is no need to go to war!" Naia recalled her father's words diligently, Said: "But I don't know why, but the general insisted on attacking the Guangyue family. Father and the others couldn't dissuade them, so in the end they could only take a neutral attitude and were unwilling to send troops to respond to the general's call!"

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but glanced at Marco, and both saw deep regret in each other's eyes.

Princess Naia is still young, so she may not be aware of the taste. In fact, in Ian's opinion, it may be good intentions for these famous names to adopt a neutral attitude, but they don't know that they will harm the Guangyue family by doing so. !

The reason is very simple, why did the general of Wano country insist on attacking the Kozuki family? Isn't it because of the policies and ideas of the founding of the country that it may hurt his general's dominance?

He has already sensed the danger that the thinking of the Koyuki family may bring!

Under such circumstances, the general of Wano country asked the other daimyo to send troops together. If all the other daimyo sent troops in response to his call, it might make the general realize that his position was still stable, or it might make the Kozuki family. Escaped.

This is also related to the political situation of the country of Wano. The seven daimyo under the general serve as princes, but the general does not control the entire country's army. Instead, the princes and the daimyo can have their own army...

And it was because these daimyo took a neutral attitude that the general of Wano Kingdom found that his orders were no longer working! In this way, it is even more necessary to have the action of killing chickens to warn the monkeys!

The generals of Wano Country may not be able to fight because of the lack of troops. In order to achieve the best shock and deterrent effect, they did not hesitate to borrow the power of the Hundred Beast Pirates to completely suppress the Koyuki family!

Well-intentioned doing bad things, that's what I'm talking about...

However, Ian and the others also learned a little from Naia's story, that is, Naia's father, Nishimino Daimyo Hitachi, should have goodwill towards the Koyuki family.

This kind of goodwill may be based on the popularity of the Guangyue family, or it may be related to the disgust of the general's use of Kaido's power. Several other daimyo may have similar ideas. In short, under this political system, it is impossible. It's a piece of iron.

This may bring some convenience to Ian and the others in their next rescue operation...

At this time, Naia went on to tell: "Although the father and the others were not involved, the general still attacked the Guangyue family. I heard from my father that in the process of the Guangyue family's resistance, many strange people who knew sorcery appeared. The general's army also suffered a lot of casualties, but because of Kaido's help, the Guangyue family finally failed. Lord Guangyue Mitian was executed, but his retainers escaped. It's being occupied by the Beast Pirates, and my father is very angry about it..."

"What about you?" Bonnie asked curiously. "Why are you here, Your Royal Highness, and not with your father?"

Hearing this question, Naia's little face was a little gloomy, and she pouted and said unhappily: "After the general's crusade against the Guangyue family began, my father sent me here, this is our Baisak's family. The ninjas and samurai here are all retainers of the Shirasaki family..."

Bai Sakaki should be the surname of the Naia family, and his father's full name should be called Bai Sakaki Ri Duoqi or something...

"He is worried about his neutral attitude, and it may also attract the general's crusade?" Ian said: "In order to avoid implicated you, so I let you come here first? So, your father is also for your own good... …”

"Of course I know!" Naia sighed: "But I'm bored here... Although they all respect me, I can't even find someone to chat with..."

No wonder she let Ian and the three of them come in so unprepared, it seems that she is really suffocated here...

Hearing her words, a samurai next to him bowed with a serious face: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the crusade is over, there should be no problem with Nishi Ueno, we will wait until the master's order arrives. Escort you back, Your Highness!"

At this time, Ian's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "You generals of the country of Wano have already attacked a daimyo, and it is estimated that it is impossible to take action against other daimyo. You have to go back sooner or later, so why not? Let's Escort you back, and by the way, if possible, we would like to ask your father something."

"What's the matter?" Naia asked curiously.

"It's about the strange people who helped the Koyue family fight!" Ian said, "I want to know where those people are now, whether they are being held in Wano Kuni, or have been escorted to other places. , Maybe only your father knows this kind of news?"

Ian knew that since Kuri was now occupied by the Beast Pirates, Ace and Fujitora probably wouldn't be locked there, because in their identities, if they really fell into Kaido's hands, I'm afraid They will be killed, and now Ace and the others have normal life papers, which means that they are fine, and naturally they cannot fall into the hands of the Beast Pirates.

They were only locked up, but where they were locked up, it was necessary to inquire about such information. It is impossible for ordinary civilians to know such news. Only the identities of the lords and princes could inquire about it.

Since Hawkins' divination about his trip was very smooth, maybe he encountered little Princess Naia this time as one of the reasons. She and her father may bring him great help. It's natural to make choices according to what you want.

And when I heard that Ian actually offered to escort her back in advance, Naia's beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up and said happily, "Okay, okay!"

"No!" The samurai who spoke before was in a hurry, and stood up and shouted anxiously: "His Royal Highness! How can you trust these pirates of unknown origin!? Even if we want to go back, we must wait Escort you back!"

"But you still have to wait for your father's order!" Naia also reacted. Her identity did not allow her to do too willful behavior, so she said helplessly: "When will the order of your father come? It won't arrive until a month later, so don't I have to wait another month?"

"No! How can this be possible!" The samurai took the lead, and everyone fell to their knees, begging Naia, saying: "His Royal Highness Hakoji! If you insist on leaving, it is our dereliction of duty, we can only Apologize with death!"

Naia can only look at Ian helplessly...

Seeing that these warriors said so, Ian had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, there is no way, Princess Naia, can you tell us how to find your father?"

However, before Naia spoke, the samurai jumped again and said, "No way! How can I tell you pirates of unknown origin where the lord is!?"

"This doesn't work either, that doesn't work either! Aside from these two words, wouldn't you say anything else?" Ian was also a little angry: "I don't even understand it!?"

"Unless we die!" The warrior held the handle of the knife and looked at Ian resolutely.

It was impossible to communicate with these dead-brained warriors. Ian almost wanted to ignore the three-seven-twenty-one, knock these guys out, and take Naia back.

In terms of Ian's current force, it's easy to do this kind of thing. The ninjas and samurai present are not necessarily his opponents alone, but he also understands that in this way, things may get messed up. Damn, these guys were already very vigilant about the three outsiders. If Naia was forcibly taken away, the three of them might be regarded as the criminals who kidnapped Princess Flora!

Don't get that Naia's father didn't see it, but it would be troublesome if he was wanted instead. These people don't recognize you, the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the identities of Ian and Marco, start here doesn't work.

"Then, why not!" Ian thought for a while, then came up with a compromise solution, and said, "Look, you princesses are tired of staying here, why don't you follow along, all of us together? Is it not good to escort her back? Since she is the princess you respect, shouldn't you keepers also consider her feelings?"

"This..." The samurai also hesitated.

"Let's talk about it!" Ian said while the iron was hot: "Maybe your lord also misses Her Royal Highness, and the order to recall her may be on the way. Send her back sooner, your lord may be very happy."

"Okay then!" The warrior looked at Naia's expectant eyes, finally gritted his teeth, knelt down toward Naia, and said, "His Royal Highness, I can send you back, but please promise and let us wait. Stand by your side!"

Nai A straightened up, stretched out his hand to help the warrior, and said happily: "That's great, it's best to have you guys follow along!"

In fact, the reason why the samurai agreed was because the ninja village seemed to be not secretive enough. Even Ian and the other three foreign pirates could come here. It is hard to guarantee that other people will find it here, so it is still It's good to let the princess go back...

As for Ian and the others, as long as they can go to Nishi-Ueno, see Naia's father, and find out the news, they really don't have any ill will towards the little princess anyway, so it doesn't matter how they go back. ...

So, after waiting for a while, Ian and the others were finally able to set off with Naia.

But for some reason, Ian always felt that it was very tiring to deal with people like Wano country...
