Half a month later.
Below the red earth continent.
Pangu City, a subsidiary town of the holy land Marijoa.
The World Conference held every four years has finally been held. 50 representatives selected from the 170 member states from various seas have already rushed to the bottom of the Red Earth Continent and officially entered the holy land through the government-dedicated elevator.
"I didn't expect that four years would pass so quickly."
Smoker stood beside Vivian, holding a cigar in his mouth, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"Why, you also participated in the security work of the World Conference four years ago?" Vivian asked.
That’s right, he was sent here by his superiors today to serve as a “security guard”.
Perhaps it was because of the fame he gained through the magazine "Legend of the Thunder Swordsman". In order to ensure the smooth progress of this world conference, many young Celestial Dragons took the initiative to ask Vivian to come to the holy land to protect their safety.
Vivian was naturally extremely reluctant about this, but no matter what excuses he gave, such as illness or an emergency at home, he was ruthlessly rejected by He.
The reason is simple. A colonel-level officer who knows all three colors of Haki and is strong enough to fight against the Four Emperors, how can you catch a cold, have a fever, or have a runny nose? You are kidding!
As for an emergency at home...that's even more ridiculous.
Vivian's life experience is almost transparent in the navy database. His family was slaughtered by pirates when he was young. He is actually an orphan. What kind of emergency could there be at home
Have your parents’ graves been dug up by someone
Well, this might be a good reason, but the key problem is that Vivian's parents in this life did not even have ashes left when they died, let alone a grave.
So he was powerless, and in order to keep his job, Vivian had no choice but to take his "team", Fujitora and Jinbe, along with Smoker, Tashigi, and Cotto, to the bottom of the Red Continent the night before the meeting, and rested for a night in a makeshift tent outside the town.
What, you asked why Ali and Domino's wives didn't come
Isn't that nonsense? In a place full of Celestial Dragons, who would dare to bring his two beautiful wives here? Isn't that simply leaving yourself with options
"No, it's just that four years ago, a very good colleague of mine died at the World Conference." Smoker said.
Come to think of it, today is the anniversary of the death of his deceased colleague.
No wonder this guy acted so sad from the very beginning when he was on guard.
At the same time, Kuto seemed to have received a call from the front line. He ran over from a distance to report to Smoker, "Vice Admiral Smoker, just as we expected, many members of the royal families who are coming to the Holy Land have been attacked by pirates on the way."
"Nonsense." Smoker took a deep breath and blew out two huge smoke rings. "Those who went out to sea are all princes and nobles. The royal families who can afford to pay the Heavenly Gold and invite them to participate in the World Conference obviously have extremely strong financial resources. Those vicious pirates will definitely take action against them unless they have a problem with their brains."
"Has any royal family fallen into their hands?" Dashigi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not."
Cotto shook his head. "This time our navy sent several top-ranked supernovas to escort them. So far, almost all of the dozen or so pirate groups that attacked the royal family have been wiped out or arrested."
The top-ranked supernovas he mentioned were the second, third and fourth on the list excluding Vivian, namely Grant, Burnham, and Zepa.
Oh, by the way, it seems that Coby, who was ranked sixth, also went there, but that guy was not sent out by his superiors, but applied for it on his own initiative.
As for the reason...
Perhaps he simply wanted to protect the royal families of the member states
But anyway, according to Coby's personality, he didn't go there just for the purpose of promotion or salary increase.
"Is that so? That's good..." Dashigi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.
After all, she has seen too many casualties in recent times, and she doesn't want to hear any bad news anymore.
And at this moment of their conversation.
“Wow~~~~!
”
"Ah!"
An extremely loud shouting sound came from the street at the entrance of the town.
Upon hearing the voice, the sailors subconsciously turned their heads to look over, only to see that Princess Shirahoshi, who had already attracted much attention before the World Conference began, was now escorted by her father and three brothers, following behind Garp, and walking towards the elevator at the back of the town.
"Is that Princess Shirahoshi?"
Cotto took a look from a distance, then his eyes widened with a look of fascination.
However, after only a moment, he immediately came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "As expected, she is a beauty as famous as the Pirate Empress. I almost fell for her after just one look..."
"It would be nice if I could marry a beauty like this."
At this moment, longing voices came from the group of naval soldiers behind him.
Upon hearing this, Vivian said expressionlessly, "Marry Shirahoshi as your wife? I'm afraid even if you marry her, you can only watch her. After all, there is no match for her in terms of physique."
Bai Xing, who is only 16 years old now, has already reached an exaggerated height of 11.87m, not to mention that the woman is still in the developmental stage. How tall will she be when she grows to 18 or even 20 years old
I'm afraid that when the fish tail evolves into legs after the age of 30, Shirahoshi will only be able to marry a giant man and have children? After all, ordinary humans, even if they grow as tall as Whitebeard, are only just over 6 meters tall.
But then again, when Vivian thought of this, her mind couldn't help but recall the story about Shirahoshi's parents.
You said that Otohime was only a little over 2 meters tall, so how did Neptune, the king of Fishman Island who was 12 meters tall, give birth to Shirahoshi
He really couldn't figure it out on this point.
"Perhaps it's because of the racial peculiarities of the mermaids?"
He pulled his chin and began to think carefully.
But at this moment.
"Hey, you are the Thunder Sword Master Vivian? You don't look as majestic as the legend says."
A female voice sounded behind them, immediately attracting everyone's attention again.
Vivian turned her head and saw a slightly bloated woman with chubby cheeks, wearing a white robe that only Tianlong people wore. She squinted at Cotto and said with a very disgusted expression, "You don't look as good as the photos in the magazine. It's so disappointing."
Cotto:
