Chapter 278 My Anywhere Door! (Two in One)
"Bear boy!"
"Bear boy!"
"Get out of here!"
"Navy, the navy is coming!"
When Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's warship docked at the south coast of the Kingdom of Solbe, people in a church near the south coast rushed into the hall in a panic and shouted at the tall man who was sitting in front of the statue in the church and dispelling the pain for an old man.
The man was tall, sitting on a huge wooden box, probably about 4 meters tall. He was wearing an old black vestment, dressed like a priest, and on the left sleeve of his vestment was a huge patch.
“Hmm~~~”
As the man hurriedly ran into the church, the old man sitting in front of the man breathed a sigh of relief and let out a comfortable groan.
At the same time, a small, bear-paw-shaped, palm-sized, translucent pink ball slowly flew out from the old man's chest.
The pastor called "Bear Cub" waved his hand lightly, and the little pink ball quickly flew behind the statue. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the sight of several people and was out of sight.
After finishing all this, the pastor slowly turned his head, looked towards the door of the church, and said gently:
"Uncle Nur, please run slower and don't fall."
The tall man dressed in tattered holy clothes and dressed like a priest was named Bartholomew Xiong.
Bartholomew Kuma was born in this country. His father was a member of the anonymous Bakanni tribe, a rare race with some giant blood. Due to certain historical reasons, the Bakanni tribe, like Jinn's Lunaria tribe, is a race wanted and hunted by the World Government.
At that time, Xiong's father lived in seclusion in the Kingdom of Solbe as a pastor, married and had children, and lived a peaceful and happy life.
It’s just a pity that with the birth of Kuma, the identity of the Bakanni people was eventually discovered by the World Government. The family was taken to the Holy Land by the government, branded with the "Hoof of the Celestial Dragon", and became slaves.
Xiong was raised as a slave in the Holy Land.
Perhaps because of the rarity and preciousness of Bakhanian blood, slave children like Xiong grew up safely. However, as slaves, their growth was often accompanied by unimaginable pain.
Xiong's parents were gentle and optimistic people. Although they suffered inhuman hardships, they still gave Xiong warmth, which gave Xiong a warm and strong heart in his childhood.
Xiong's parents were not able to accompany him as he grew up. His parents died of abuse and shooting respectively.
When Xiong was 9 years old, his life reached a turning point.
The Celestial Dragons held a "Human Hunting Competition" every three years, slaughtering the indigenous people of non-member countries and robbing resources. It was also to give people in the world a little shock, warning them not to try to resist the rule of the Celestial Dragons. By the way, it was also to clean up some slaves that the Celestial Dragons no longer needed.
The place where humans hunted was an island called God's Canyon in the South China Sea.
And the bear was one of those unwanted slaves.
In the Valley of the Gods, Xiong met Ginny, a girl who was also a slave, and Ivankov, a slave. Under Ginny's planning, the news of the Valley of the Gods was leaked, attracting the arrival of the two most powerful pirate groups in the world at that time.
The Rocks Pirates, and the Roger Pirates.
When the Celestial Dragons and the Navy were in a panic because of the invasion of these pirates, Kuma, with the help of his friends, stole the Meat-Globe Fruit, one of the prizes of the "Human Hunting Competition".
With the power of the Meat-Globe Fruit, Bear helped a large group of slaves escape from the battlefield of God Valley.
After escaping from the Valley of Gods, Bear and his friend Ginny returned to the place where his parents lived, the Kingdom of Thorbey in the South Sea.
He and Ginny lived a warm and peaceful life, but with the change of King Solby, the new king listened to the instigation of the Celestial Dragons in order to pay less heavenly gold and divided the kingdom into two. The less wealthy areas in the south were abandoned, and the people in the entire area became non-citizens who could be treated at will.
It was not until three years ago that the revolutionary army including Long and Ivankov arrived and helped rescue the people of this country from the cruel King Bekoli.
After that, Bear and Ginny became part of the revolutionary army, following Dragon to fight everywhere and help those in need.
However, even after joining the revolutionary army, Xiong would still return to his hometown from time to time to help the elderly who were suffering from illness.
In addition to being able to send enemies flying to anywhere in the world, the Meat-Glob Fruit also has the ability to slap pain out of a person's body.
The pain caused by slapping will turn into a pink ball shaped like a bear's paw. The deeper the pain, the bigger the bear's paw will be.
As long as there is someone who can bear the pain caused by the photo, the original owner will be able to be freed from the pain.
In this way, Kuma takes on the pain for the elderly and helps them eliminate the pain. He has been doing this since he escaped from the Valley of Gods and mastered the ability of the Meat-Glob Fruit.
Today, Xiong has become the commander of the revolutionary army and is one of the navy's wanted persons. That is why the islanders reacted so strongly when they saw a warship approaching the shore and hurried to inform Xiong.
"Xiongzai, the warship should be docking by now."
"You better leave now."
"That warship is different from any I've seen before. It's huge and made entirely of iron."
"Not ordinary, very extraordinary!"
"Maybe they came here specifically to catch you!"
Old Nur, who informed Xiong, walked quickly to Xiong's side, gestured the size of the warship with his hands, and spoke to Xiong.
Hearing Nur's words, Xiong's face became a little more serious.
A large warship made of iron?
If this is true, then the navy coming to the Kingdom of Solbe this time is really extraordinary.
Although the main target of the revolutionary army is not the navy, Xiong has had a lot of contact with the navy over the years. At the same time, the leader of their revolutionary army is Long, the former vice admiral of the navy.
Xiong also has some knowledge of the navy.
In this day and age, there are very few iron warships. The naval branch in the South China Sea, for example, uses wooden sailing ships.
In the entire navy, only the headquarters has iron warships, and even the headquarters of the navy only has a few of them.
Anyone who can use those warships must be a high-ranking naval official at least at the rank of lieutenant general or above.
Therefore, when Xiong heard that such a warship was docked on the shore of this island, he became very alert.
"Uncle Noor, Uncle Landa."
"Although I don't know what the navy's goal is, you should leave first."
"If a fight breaks out, you'll be dragged into it too."
Xiong didn't care much about his own safety, but instead was concerned about the two old men around him.
"Xiong cub, you must be careful."
"We'll leave first."
The two old men knew that staying here would only be a hindrance, so after giving a concerned instruction, they supported each other and slowly left the church.
After the two left, Xiong slowly stood up and stared quietly at the statue in front of him, as if waiting for something.
On the streets of the southern district of the Kingdom of Solbe, Ji Guoyuan, dressed in plain clothes, was walking on one side of the road, holding Robin in one hand and Irene in the other.
The navy has dispersed into the town and, following Tsugikuni Yoriichi's instructions, hidden their identities and tried to experience the customs and culture of the Kingdom of Solbe.
However, after entering the town, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi realized that his plan might be in vain. Although the warship had found a sparsely populated area to dock, there weren't many people to be seen.
However, Jiguo Yuanyi underestimated the speed at which news spread in such a small town. The aunts and uncles here were very talkative, and the news of the arrival of the navy had already spread throughout the town.
Of course, the main reason is that the town is too small. Even if the neighbors don’t know each other at all, it is absolutely inevitable that they are familiar with each other.
Outsiders with obvious features like Yuichiro Tsugikuni were naturally easy to identify.
Therefore, along the way, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his group attracted a lot of attention. At first, the people were in awe and fear of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his group, but after seeing that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was leading the children without showing any aggressive behavior, this fear and fear turned into curiosity.
Robin seemed a little embarrassed as people occasionally stole glances at her. She kept her head down and followed Yoriichir all the way without saying a word.
But Irene was not affected at all and was immersed in her own world.
The customs and habits of the Solbe Kingdom and Dressrosa are completely different. At this moment, Irene is like a country person who has come to the city for the first time, and she is full of curiosity about everything.
“ohhh~~”
"Brother Jiguo, I want to buy this!"
Suddenly, Irene broke free from Tsugaru Yoshiichi's hand, ran quickly to a fruit stall on the roadside, pointed at the fruits on the stall, and shouted at Tsugaru Yoshiichi.
That's a coconut.
On the way here, Jigoku Yoshiichi saw a row of coconut trees on the coast. The trees were empty and there was no sign of fruit at all.
In the Kingdom of Solbe, coconuts ripen not in July or August, but earlier in March or April.
This season is the time when these fruits and vegetables are most abundant.
Irene was very interested in new and novel foods, and at this moment she was so attracted by the coconut that she couldn't move.
Ji Guoyuanyi walked with Robin to the stall, just glanced at the fruit stall, and then looked at the owner.
The owner of the stall was a thin middle-aged man, about forty years old, with rough and dark skin, the kind that comes from working in the sun all year round.
There were a few small patches on the boss's clothes, which were the kind of internal patches. The color of the patches was almost the same as that of the clothes, and it was difficult to see them if you didn't look carefully. The clothes were also very clean, with only some stains on the cuffs.
At this moment, the boss heard Jiguo Yuanyi's question and immediately smiled. He picked up a small machete from his hand and skillfully picked up a coconut. He handed it to Irene and smiled at Jiguo Yuanyi and replied, "Chenghui, 50 Baileys each."
"If you buy more, I can give you a discount."
The currencies of the four seas under the control of the world government have basically been unified. Even a small country like this can use Bailey to anchor its commodities.
50 Beli, this price cannot be said to be cheap, after all, Chopper's bounty was only 50 Beli at the beginning, but it is not appropriate to say that it is expensive, after all, the smallest denomination of Beli is the 50 coin.
The bounty is the bounty, and the goods are the goods. If Chopper appears on the free market as a pet, 50 Beli cannot buy a raccoon cat, oh, a reindeer.
"Boss, please give me three."
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, he took out a small purse from his pocket, took out some change from it and handed it to the boss.
Hearing what Jiguo Yuanyi said, the boss immediately took the money and threw it into the small wooden bucket beside him with a smile. He quickly picked a few coconuts and cut a hole in them with a few sharp cuts. Then he changed to an awl, poked a hole, and inserted a hollow straw as a straw. Then he called to Irene:
"Hey, little brother, here are your coconuts."
Irene happily took the coconut from the boss, looked at it curiously for a moment, and then sipped it. After a sip of coconut juice, Irene smacked her lips and commented, "It would be better if it wasn't sweeter. I like sweet things."
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni took the other two coconuts from the boss, handed one to Robin, and held the other in his own hand.
After taking a sip, Yunyi nodded slightly. He preferred this kind of refreshing and light taste with a hint of sweetness and saltiness.
After waving to the two children, Ji Guoyuan turned and left.
The boss waved warmly towards Ji Guoyuan and the others as they left, and kindly reminded them, "After you've finished drinking the juice, you can open the shell and eat the white meat inside!"
It was obvious that the boss had recognized that Yuichiro Tsugikoshi and the others were outsiders.
The small town in the south of the Kingdom of Sobel is not very lively, there are very few street vendors, and the variety of fruits on this island is relatively simple. Along the way, what Ji Guoyuan saw most was the sale of fresh coconuts, and the rest were some side dishes processed from coconuts.
Most of the people on the street are middle-aged and elderly people, as well as children, with very few young and middle-aged people.
After a short stroll, Irene lost interest and rested her head on her hands, looking bored. Meanwhile, Robin followed Yunyi, sipping her unfinished coconut milk with a wide smile on her face.
After a long time, Jiguo Yuanyi took the two children and slowly walked out of the town and away from the streets.
At the same time, a church with white walls and green tiles appeared in the sight of the three people.
The church door opened, and a magpie flew over the three people's heads, making a sound of flapping wings.
After staying at the door for a while, Jiguo Yuanyi took the two children and walked towards the church.
"Brother Jiguo, what are we doing here?!"
"What is this place used for?"
As soon as he entered the church, Irene looked around curiously. The architectural style of the church was something he had never seen before. The architecture here gave Irene an inexplicable sense of mystery and solemnity.
It was a very conventional church, with rows of benches in the hall. These chairs were all made of wood, and although they were painted with varnish on the surface, the workmanship was a bit rough.
There are large windows all around, and sunlight shines into the church through the glass windows.
Although today is Sunday, there is no one attending the worship service. There is only a huge figure sitting in front of the deity in front of the temple, facing the statue and the cross, as if praying.
"Erin, Robin, you two should go out and play for a while."
"Don't go too far. I'll call you when you leave."
Ji Guoyuan glanced at the figure moving forward, touched the heads of the two children beside him, and said.
When Irene heard that she could move on her own, she let out a low cry of joy, grabbed Robin's hand, and ran out of the church.
After the two left, Jiguo Yuanyi walked to the bench in the front row and sat down on it.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi looked at the statue in front of him and asked:
"Is this statue a statue of a Celestial Dragon?"
"If we pray to the Celestial Dragons, will they bring happiness to people?"
The huge figure with its head bowed before the statue slowly straightened up, turned its back to Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and explained:
"God is God, and the Celestial Dragons are Celestial Dragons."
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan leaned back in his chair, looked at the statue, and continued to ask, "So, did the gods respond? Did praying to the gods have any effect?"
"Yeah, it worked."
"The life I have today is also the result of His blessing."
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan remained silent. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked with some doubt:
"Isn't it because you fought so hard?"
As Tsugikuni Yoriichi's voice fell, the church fell into silence.
After a long time, the huge figure slowly shook his head and said:
"I just followed my friends. It was God's guidance that allowed me to meet them."
Ji Guoyuan nodded, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he continued to ask:
"Then why did God guide me to you?"
“Is He protecting me?”
"But I've never prayed anything like Him."
The moment Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, the huge figure sitting in front of the statue suddenly stood up and disappeared in front of the statue in an instant.
The next second, a giant figure "flashed" in front of Yuichiro Tsuchiya, and a huge palm slapped Yuichiro Tsuchiya directly.
His palms were a little different from those of normal humans. There were fleshy pads on the palms and fingers of men.
"Feel sorry."
The barely perceptible sound of apology reached the ears of Yuichiro Tsugikuni. Yuichiro raised his head slightly, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“BOOM!!!!!!”
A muffled sound suddenly rang out from the church, and a majestic and domineering aura swept out directly from the church door.
Inside the church, chairs flew everywhere and the surrounding windows shattered instantly, with shards of glass splashing into the forest outside the church.
In the church, Ji Guoyuan sat on a bench, his left hand resting on the bear's paw. He looked at the tall man in front of him and said with a smile:
"He's such a gentle person!"
"Is there any need to apologize when facing an enemy?"
"Bartholomew Bear, I like you very much. Come with me!"
How many miles must a man walk before he can be called a real man? How many seas must a white dove fly across before it can rest on the beach? Cuckold Bear, he's really, I'm crying.
