"Ha ha ha ha!"
The first thing that was heard was a loud laugh. The person in the lead had the same golden hair as Lily. He wore a crown and a gorgeous cloak. The clothes inside were full of jewels, but his whole body was as fat as a ball.
"Lily, long time no see!"
This man's face was covered with thick beard and his skin was very rough. When he laughed, several of his front teeth were missing. He looked like a wretched pervert, but he was also a tall, fat, wretched pervert.
Sager estimated that he was at least two and a half meters tall.
Seeing the person coming, Lily gritted her teeth and uttered a few words: "Ennio!!"
The person in front of you is the culprit who disrupted the country, the despicable usurper - Biendetta Ennio!
Ennio bared his mouthful of gold teeth and said, "I finally caught you, Lily. During the time you were away, I was very worried that something might have happened to you."
"You guy!"
Lily's eyes turned red and she was about to rush forward, but just as she made this move, the soldier behind Ennio rushed out quickly, held Lily's body with the blade of his gun, and stopped her movement.
Ennio stretched out his big hand to touch her face, but Lily pulled away and glared at him.
He continued to reach for Lily's face while asking, "So, if you've escaped, why did you come back?"
Lily raised her head, looked straight at that ugly face, and gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, it's to stop you from doing evil things. This country can't be ruined by you anymore!"
Ennio showed disdain: "How are you going to stop me? Relying on the bounty on your head, or relying on these civilians who don't know you? Come on, they have no value other than paying taxes obediently."
"But they can choose not to hand it in!"
Lily gritted her teeth and said, "As long as they leave the Kingdom of Oikot and are no longer your citizens, they can choose not to pay taxes. If you don't have the money to pay the Heavenly Gold, you won't be able to maintain your throne!"
There was a hint of surprise in Ennio's eyes, but he soon burst into laughter: "You mean to let them become bandits? Even if they are bandits, they are still within my territory! Or do you want them to go out to sea?"
He didn't even give Lily a chance to react. He raised his hand and shouted to the citizens watching from behind: "Hey, go out to sea! As long as you go out to sea, you don't have to pay heavy taxes. Taxes in other places are not so heavy. Hurry up and go out to sea!"
The heavy taxes and the burden of life have made even the citizens struggle to survive. All the citizens I saw along the way looked pale. If they could choose to go out to sea and change their lifestyle, they would definitely
not do anything.
The citizens who were watching did not show any sign of panic. Instead, they took a few steps back in fear.
"Lily, you should understand that this country declined because of the war with pirates."
Ennio laughed grimly, stroked Lily's cheek, and said in a deep voice: "Going out to sea? Even if I, the king, personally ordered them, they would not do it. Why do you think I wantonly increased the heavy taxes? Of course, it's because they are just a bunch of cowards! Cowards are not qualified to go out to sea!"
As he said this, he shook his head and smiled again, as if he had lost interest, and waved his hand, "Colonel Mouse"
A sailor wearing a windbreaker-like outfit stood up. His hat was connected to the windbreaker and there were two ears on the hat. His beard was like a mouse, with three long whiskers on each side. His face looked like a mouse.
His condition was not very good. There were still bruises on his face that had not yet faded, and his nose and face were swollen.
He looked Lily up and down and smiled wickedly: "I am Colonel Mouse of the 16th Marine Branch. I heard about the assassination attempt on King Ennio, so I went to apply to change the local wanted list to the World Government wanted list. Now that he has been found, I will arrest him!"
Ennio said: "Lily, you are too troublesome as an heir. It is better to hand you over to the World Government. In this way, I can still have a source of income, right, Colonel Mouse?"
Colonel Mouse smiled even more. "Such a beauty, with the noble status of a princess, will definitely sell well if she is used as a slave. She may even be valued by the Celestial Dragons. They are willing to spend money."
"That's right!" Ennio smiled impudently.
"that."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted.
Sager raised his hand and said, "I caught this woman. No matter what you want to do, you should pay the bounty."
He had been watching here for so long without being able to get a word in, and he was very anxious.
"Oh? Are you the one who caught Lily?"
Ennio then looked at Sager, narrowed his eyes, glanced at the white hair, and laughed: "This is no longer a bounty from the kingdom. If you want money, you have to ask the navy. However, Colonel Mouse, white hair is very rare."
Colonel Mouse glanced at Sager's white hair and smiled: "Indeed, you are under arrest."
Tat tat tat!
As he spoke, the navy behind him drew out their muskets and blades and quickly surrounded Sager.
Doesn't
it have anything to do with him?
Sager looked around at the navy that surrounded him and said, "The navy has no right to arrest me. I haven't committed any crime, and I'm not a pirate."
"Look at my wounds!"
The mouse colonel pointed at his bruised face and said, "You attacked the captain of the Marine Branch. I think you are a pirate, so of course I can arrest you!"
Sager raised his eyebrows, looked at the two people with obscene smiles, and nodded, "I see, you want to default on your debt, right?"
Sure enough, this bad luck still follows him.
He raised his hands and took a half step back, "It's my bad luck. I'm just a bounty hunter. My goal is to catch the Arlong Pirates. I have no intention of conflicting with you."
He didn't want to come into conflict with the navy in case he was put on the hook for a bounty. There was still hope as a bounty hunter, and he didn't want to change his career unless it was necessary.
When Colonel Mouse heard this, his face darkened, and Ennio even laughed and said, "The Arlong Pirates are long gone."
"Who are you saying is gone?" Sager was stunned.
"Of course it's the damn Arlong Pirates!" Colonel Mouse gritted his teeth and said, "And that damn Straw Hat Boy, he made me not get a single penny of Bailey!"
He had been protecting the Arlong Pirates, and they had a pleasant cooperation and made a lot of money. However, when the Arlong Pirates collapsed, his protection of the pirate group was exposed. Although he has not been punished yet, it is only a matter of time.
Fortunately, the Kingdom of Oikot is under his jurisdiction, and he also knows the situation in this country. Although he came here to temporarily escort Tian Shangjin, he was also tempted by Ennio's proposal.
He wants to consolidate the throne and make the heir disappear, and Colonel Mouse also needs a suitable person to please his superiors.
If he could take this noble princess away and give her to a celestial dragon as his wife, not only would he be spared punishment, he might even get promoted.
If that doesn't work, he can make some money by entrusting someone else to put it in the Sabaody Archipelago, which is enough to avoid punishment.
He was still thinking about how to catch the escaped princess, but then she appeared right before him, making it easy for him.
As for this white-haired boy, since Ennio didn't like him, he didn't care at all.
Rare white hair can also be sold for a price.
"Catch him!" shouted Colonel Mouse.
At this moment, Sager suddenly jumped high and jumped out of the navy's encirclement. The agile movement made Ennio subconsciously narrow his eyes.
What a joke!
Sager's face turned pale. This was something he had never expected.
He wanted to capture the Arlong Pirates, but he was defeated?
The Straw Hat Boy is Luffy, he knows that.
But he didn't know it would happen so soon!
He just saw the bounty on the evil Arlong, and it's gone already?
This hope must be shattered so quickly!
"shoot!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The navy soldiers who surrounded him raised their guns and pulled the trigger, shooting directly at Sager who was still in the air.
"Two-finger vacuum handle!"
Facing the incoming bullets, Sager stretched out two fingers on both hands, which turned into a series of afterimages and quickly caught the bullets.
A large number of bullets were caught by his fingers and then scattered, and remained suspended in the air for a short time in front of him.
Sager glared at the navy in front of him, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
He still wants to be a bounty hunter, but now he is not given the chance to do so!
Bang!
He punched the air with both hands, making a dull sound, and the lead bullet that was suspended in the air flew back at a speed no less than before.
But at this moment, the air around him trembled, and a light blue slash flew up quickly, plowing a crack in the ground and rushing straight towards him.
Sager subconsciously dodged and almost brushed past the slash, and asked in surprise: "What?"
This time, even Lily and Colonel Mouse looked at Ennio in surprise.
There are many rumors about this king, such as a tyrant who is cruel and ruthless, and a wealthy man who is obsessed with money. But no one has ever heard that he is a powerful figure.
Ennio put his legs away, glanced at Lily who looked surprised, and grinned at Sager: "I told you, white hair is very rare, how could I let you go?"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from where he was, and in an instant he came in front of Sager. Then, he stretched out a finger, making a bang in the air, and quickly pointed at Sager.
Snap!
Sager dodged to the side, and kneed Ennio's elbow, kicking his arm up and quickly dropping it to the ground. His other leg, like a gun, stabbed Ennio's abdomen.
Bang!
It felt like touching steel.
Sager's expression froze, and he backed away, staring at Ennio, and asked uncertainly: "Marine Six Styles?"
Although he would forget what he should forget, he would still be able to remember it if someone suddenly showed superhuman physical skills in front of him.
If I'm not mistaken, this guy uses Tempest Kicks, Shave, Finger Pistol, and Iron Body.
"Hehehe"
Ennio twisted his fat neck and grinned, "Before I became king, I was a sailor."
