Chapter 466: Isn’t he a little narrow-minded?
The king of the Kingdom of Lulucia just wanted to make a small move and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he deliberately ignored Vivi and just criticized the navy for their mistakes. Even when he brought the Amber Tour Group into the mix, he was still criticizing them for allowing civilian organizations to participate without authorization.
He was not stupid enough to drag a princess of a big country into this for a little compensation. However, when he saw Tom wearing a navy uniform, he couldn't help but sneer, "I'm a king, and I didn't even scold a human being. It's not too much to scold a cat, right?"
It was too much. Zhang Da also felt it was too much, so after asking Zefa, he took out the folding stool.
"Don't be impulsive. Attacking the king in broad daylight is a serious crime." Zefa certainly couldn't let Zhang Da go and beat up the king, although he wanted to do it too. "Besides, you're still wearing a navy uniform, so you can't do anything rash."
"I understand." Zhang Da also quickly grasped the key point. If they were to fight, they couldn't do it in broad daylight, especially not while wearing navy uniforms.
He took off his shirt, smashed a stone half a man's height with a folding stool, filled a crater with the rubble, then sat down with his legs spread wide, staring at the king.
The king couldn't believe his ears. These two men were actually discussing whether to beat him right in front of him? Was this the proper way to treat a king? It was simply audacious!
"What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?" The king took a small step back after seeing Zhang Daye's actions, and asked in a timid tone, "Do you know what you are doing? Hey, Marine, you see, he is holding a weapon and trying to attack me. Why don't you arrest him now?"
The Marines stared up at the sky, some picked their ears, and some were just kidding. If he really wanted to attack you, he'd be dead. I've been annoyed with this guy for a long time, so let Mr. Tatsuya scare him.
"Even the king shouldn't talk nonsense," Zhang Da said. "There's no weapon there. I just took out a folding stool. Can't I sit down for a while if I'm tired of standing? I've hit many pirates on the head with this folding stool, but I've never hit the king. Even if I break a stone, I'm helping you build the road."
How can I, the great Zhe Deng, who is known as the number one of the seven weapons that 'even if caught by the police, they can't sue you', let him slander me so casually?
Isn’t this a threat? The king’s lips trembled with anger, and he pointed at Zhang Daye: “You…”
Before he could finish, Zhang Da also took out a sword, which frightened the king so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.
However, Zhang Da did not do anything to him. Instead, he turned around and swung his sword. A huge golden sword energy split the dilapidated pier, causing huge waves on the sea a hundred meters away.
Amid the horrified expressions of the king and his guards, Zhang Da also turned around and smiled kindly:
"See? Although I have the power to kill you with one sword, and I can single-handedly take on your entire guard, I absolutely do not mean to threaten you. Come, Your Majesty, please repeat what you said about my cat?"
The king looked at his guards with a pale face. As expected, they had no confidence. So he looked to Zefa for help.
Zefa thought for a moment and chose to watch coldly: "Beforehand, my students and I were all injured in the previous battle and are not very capable of fighting now."
As if to confirm Zefa's words, the Marines all pleaded to return to the medic, their injuries flaring up. What a joke! Among us, who hasn't been treated by Wendy? There are still a bunch of comrades on the ship who were just brought back from the brink of death by Wendy. If we arrest Zhang Daye and the others, aren't we afraid our comrades will fight us to the death when we return?
And - do you think we can win?
"I... well, I don't like to repeat myself a second time. But..." The king had almost understood the situation. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, pretending to be calm. "But considering that you repelled the pirates, it doesn't matter if I repeat it again. I mean ..."
"Although the cat looks ordinary at first glance, it actually has a graceful body, agile movements, bright eyes, and thick, shiny fur. Even in my opinion, it is a rare and fine cat."
The king spoke of Tom in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and his speech became more and more fluent. He praised Tom from head to toe, from his body shape and fur color to his movements and expressions, and even his intelligence and talent.
Tom felt a little embarrassed by the praise. He clasped his fingers together and twisted his body.
It took Tom a while to realize that this guy had been calling him stupid?
A rotten tomato flew into the king's face. Tom clapped his hands and turned back to the Amber. His anger was usually easy to get over, as long as he took a simple revenge. However, Tom's revenge sometimes involved hitting people in the face with tomatoes or cakes, and other times he used iron ingots or bowling balls to smash people into the ground. This king was lucky.
Although he saved his life, he also lost all his face. As a king, when he was praising a cat endlessly, the cat threw rotten tomatoes in his face.
For a moment the king's face turned redder than a tomato.
At this moment, a bruised pirate flew to the king's feet, frightening him so much that he almost trembled. "Another pirate? What's this time?"
"Report, it's this pirate who attacked the king!" Sui Feng Er came running over. He was the one who threw the pirate over. "This damn pirate, even after being caught, still refuses to give up and tries to attack the king for revenge. How despicable!"
The confused pirate was kicked unconscious by Sui Feng Er before he knew what was happening. It was impossible for him to make an excuse.
Everyone present, including Zhang Da, was stunned. His skill in making a mouse look like a duck was too skillful.
Sui Feng Er took the opportunity to lean over to Zhang Daye's ear and whispered, "Master asked me to tell you that it's almost time to give him a break. If you really don't like him, you can wait until night to give him a beating. Didn't you say it's not appropriate to cause any big trouble in public when Weiwei is around?"
Ye Yan was originally watching the excitement from a distance in the observation room of the Amber. Seeing that something was not right, he sent Sui Feng Er to warn Zhang Da.
Zhang Da also nodded to show that he understood. If the quarrel continued, it might cause trouble for Weiwei's family. On the surface, this was enough.
Vivi's family is descended from one of the twenty kings who created the world. However, the king of Nefertari refused to move into the Holy Land and become a Celestial Dragon. This identity may seem impressive, but in the eyes of most people, it is just stupid.
In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders, the Nefertari family is simply traitors.
If they just behaved like ordinary royals, the Five Elders would not pay much attention to them. But if something big happened, even if the Five Elders didn't say anything, Im would give the order to kill them.
Take the case of Crocodile for example. It was he who slapped the face of the World Government by forming an allied nation among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Otherwise, if he had just started a civilian uprising to overthrow Nefertari, it would have been considered polite of the Five Elders not to secretly send troops to help him rebel.
Therefore, Zhang Daye and others generally do not do things under the banner of Alabasta, and try not to cause trouble for Vivi's family.
However, Zhang Da was also tempted by Ye Yan's suggestion of hitting someone with a club, and he thought that this matter could be considered in the long run.
"Damn pirates, I will execute them all!" After Sui Feng'er made such a fuss, the king finally had a way out and an outlet for his accumulated anger. The only unlucky ones were the pirates.
Zefa pondered for a moment and agreed to hand the pirates over to the king.
Although he adheres to the principle of 'no killing', Zephyr will not care about pirates who have been sentenced to death through judicial procedures.
This is the territory of the Kingdom of Lulucia, and it is reasonable for the king to sentence all these illegal invaders to death, although there is an element of venting his anger.
"There is also compensation. At least this amount must be paid!" The king has not forgotten this matter. He spoke with confidence because he was in the right.
It was none of his business how powerful the pirates were, he only cared about the navy destroying the port and civilian houses during the battle.
"As per custom, I will return the stolen goods to their original owners and use their previous loot to compensate the residents for their losses. The remaining goods and the pirate ship will be used to compensate for the port's losses." This wasn't the first time Zefa had encountered such a situation. He simply followed the rules and ignored his exorbitant demands. "In addition, I will bring my subordinates to help the residents here repair their houses and roads. If you have any complaints, please feel free to contact the Navy Headquarters."
"You guy... Humph!" The king snorted and turned to get into the car. This old marine didn't look like someone who would be easy to mess with. He had lost face enough today and needed to take a break.
Whether it's a tour group or an old Marine, I will think of a solution!
Zephyr didn't care at all. No matter whether he complained to the Marine Headquarters or to the World Government, it would be Sengoku's headache in the end. What did it have to do with him, a rookie instructor?
Compared to this, Zefa was more worried about whether Zhang Da would sneak into the palace tonight and kill the king. This kid didn't look like someone who would be willing to suffer injustice. He doubted that if he hadn't been there today, Zhang Da would have beaten the king on the spot.
Zhang Daye was currently holding Sui Feng Er's shoulder and said slyly, "Tell Ye Yan to call all the other guys over to investigate the situation here and get a feel for the palace. We'll decide how to attack them later."
"Leave it to us!" Sui Feng'er was very active. Helping Zhang Da usually got good rewards, such as asking Ye Yan to give them holidays, and he always gave them a lot of activity funds. It was not easy to find such a generous boss.
After receiving the message from Sui Feng Er, Ye Yan rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought. I thought what I said about hitting you with a club was just a polite remark, why did you take it seriously?
He recalled his past experiences - was he a little narrow-minded?
