This Nishi Ueno daimyo, the Patriarch of the Shirasakaki family, had a lot of disagreements. After holding his daughter Naina in his arms like this for a while, he finally remembered that there was an outsider beside him.
So he coughed twice pretending to be very serious, and then looked at Ian and Marco with displeasure, and said, "Is it you? What Naia said in the letter, the sea from the outer sea Thieves?"
Before setting off, Naia naturally wanted to inform her father, so she sent a samurai to deliver the letter. It was only after receiving the letter that Naia suddenly learned that Naia had returned early. , so rushed to greet him.
Along the way, Ridoki was worried whether these pirates from the outer sea would have any unruly plans for his daughter, which was why when everyone saw him, he had so many troops behind him.
But now, seeing that Nai is doing well, Ritaqi is also relieved a lot.
But he was still very upset and said: "You are the ones who tricked my daughter to return early? Huh, it really is a group of savages who don't know how to behave! Come!!"
When the large number of soldiers behind him heard this, they immediately raised the weapons in their hands, surrounded Ian and the others, and waited for Ri Duoqi's order before planning to arrest the three of them.
However, at this moment, Naia's crisp voice suddenly screamed, "Father! Stop!"
In the day's confused eyes, Naia jumped off the shaft, stopped in front of a group of soldiers, blocked Ian and the others, and said loudly: "Father, do you think our capital is also like Guangyue's family?" Was it destroyed as well!?"
"What... what do you mean!?" Ri Duoqi was stunned for a moment.
Naia stepped forward, lying next to Ri Duoqi's ear, and told about Ian's background.
Ri Duoqi's eyes almost popped out after listening to it!
He originally thought that Ian and the other three pirates were just low-level pirates from outside, planning to coax his daughter and cheat some money from him, so at the beginning, Ri Duoqi only thought about The three of them were arrested.
But... Naia's words surprised him!
Fortunately, when we were on Xingyuan, Bonnie told Niayi'an's identity...
Of course he knew what kind of figure the Four Emperors were, but he actually had some doubts whether the lies made up by these pirates had deceived Nai, but when he looked at Ian and the three of them uncertainly that day, , but found that when Ian and the others faced the thousands of soldiers staring at them around them, their expressions did not change at all, with an extremely calm posture, which immediately made him uncertain.
At this time, Ian also took a step forward at the right time, and said: "Okay, let your soldiers put away their weapons, for the sake of you being the father of little Princess Naia, I won't bother with you about this matter! "
"You... who are you guys?" Ri Duoqi asked in surprise.
"Hmph!" Bonnie proudly pointed at Ian, then at Marco, and said, "The one standing in front of you is the newly promoted fourth emperor of the IGMOM Pirates, Black Dragon Ian! And this one, this one is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates first division, Phoenix Marco! No matter how closed your Wano country is, as one of the big names, it is impossible for you to be ignorant of the situation Bar?"
The divisive expression suddenly became dignified, and he looked at Ian carefully.
Just like Bonnie said, no matter how closed the country is in Wano Country, as the ruling class is increasingly divided, it is of course impossible to be ignorant of the outside world, especially recently, the general used Kaido's power to crusade After the Guangyue family, the name of the four emperors has become sensitive in the ears of all the big names.
Needless to say, the veteran Whitebeard Pirates, and Ian, the new emperor, has gradually been known by the high-level officials of Wano Country during this period. The ninjas of the Shirasakaki family have already found newspapers from some pirates. .
So, after sizing up Ian for a while that day, I finally matched Ian with the demon-like figure in the newspaper...
So afterwards, Rita Qi gasped!
His cold sweat dripped down all of a sudden, and he just felt that it was a little troublesome!
One Four Emperor Kaido is not enough, yet another Four Emperor came! ? No, it should be said that there are two. Phoenix Marco must represent the Whitebeard Pirates!
Fortunately, as a member of the ruling class, Ridoki has seen a little bit of the world. After he calmed down, he took a deep breath, looked around at the bewildered soldiers, and said to Ian and Marko seriously: " This is not a place to talk, please follow me!"
A samurai brought three horses for Ian and the three of them to ride, and then the convoy set off again, but this time they set off under the leadership of the daimyo Ridaki and the escort of thousands of troops.
Staggering, the three of Ian and the others quickly followed the convoy and entered the capital of West Ueno, Yang. This city does seem quite popular. Although the houses and shops are very low, the buildings are very unique.
Most of the people who come and go on the street are men, and you can often see samurai with long swords on their waists walking through it. The samurai with their hair upturned are very conspicuous among the crowd.
There are also women in the crowd, but these women are basically those who usually lower their heads and lower their hands, and follow behind the man in a respectful posture, following step by step, either wearing a veil or a mask on their faces, He half covered his face, and the clothes on his body were tightly wrapped...
After seeing the convoy, people on both sides of the street quickly moved away. The civilians and women bowed to the convoy with low eyebrows. Only people dressed as samurai could look directly at the convoy with their heads held high.
"I don't know why, but I feel very uncomfortable!" Bonnie said suddenly angrily.
Marco rode beside her, smiled and whispered: "It's very different from the free and unrestrained atmosphere outside, isn't it?"
Ian didn't say a word. The atmosphere in this country is such that he can't express any opinions.
However, he still thinks that the sexy and fashionable dressing style of Robin and Reiju is better. This woman from Wano Country doesn't seem to interest him at all...
After crossing several streets all the way, the convoy finally came to the castle tower that we saw before. This is a tall and windy castle. The lower part has thick walls. The main body of the castle is built on these walls. See It seems that this castle also has the meaning of being a pass, a fortress against the enemy.
As the daimyo of Nishi Ueno, the Shirasakaki family naturally lived in this castle tower. Ian saw the family crest of the Shirasakaki family on the attic of the castle tower. It was a nine-year-shaped pattern, and the middle one The circle is formed by the rotation of three hook jades, and eight similar round hook jades around the periphery constitute the whole. (This pattern is taken from the Nagao family crest of the Devil Warring States period, just take a look.)
After Ri Duoqi led Ian and the others into the castle tower, he came to a larger room in the city, and then sat down to meet the guests.
Naia did not leave, but stayed with her father. For safety reasons, there were still many masked ninjas kneeling in the room, but Ian and the others didn't mind.
Ri Duoqi and Naia both kneeled in a straight posture, but Ian and the others were not used to it at all, so they sat down cross-legged directly. A veiled maid served them refreshments, and then backed away carefully. After leaving, Ri Duoqi Duoqi opened his mouth and sighed: "We, the country of Wano, are really troubled now..."
"The generals of your Wano country used the power of the Hundred Beasts Pirates to suppress the daimyos of your own country. Didn't you other daimyos raise any objections?" Ian asked back.
"So what if there are objections?" Ritaqi smiled wryly: "Do you think there are no daimyos who support the general's actions? Of the seven daimyos, four are on the same side as the general, plus the Hundred Beasts Pirates, the general's Strength is inherently superior…”
"Forget it, we outsiders don't talk too much about your domestic affairs!" Ian waved his hands and said, "Princess Naia should have told you in the letter? About our reason for coming..."
"Yes, she mentioned it!" Ri Duoqi cast a doting look at Nai, then turned his head and said to Ian and the others, "Should you come to help the Guangyue family?"
