147. First time seeing the big bear
Faced with the palm that was almost half the size of his own body, Doku naturally did not intend to surrender. He, a big pirate worth 25 million, would never be defeated in this small country.
no way!
How can a human hand compare to his sharp knife?
Doku didn't believe in evil. He gritted his teeth and almost used all his strength to slash at the huge fleshy palm again.
Bo~
There was a soft sound, and the blade did not break through the defense at all. Not only that, Doku was horrified to find that this time the long knife in his hand was directly rebounded by the fleshy palm, and slashed towards him at a faster speed!
"No!"
The cry was blocked in his throat, and before he could make a sound, his attack completely rebounded.
The blade directly broke through the skull and embedded itself in his own forehead - I cut myself!
The old felt hat that was said to bring him luck was also cut open. Obviously, this was a feudal superstition.
His eyes were still filled with panic, but he could no longer make any movements. He fell straight to the ground, making no sound.
The latest pirate to rise in the South China Sea, the old felt hat Doku, who had a bounty of 25 million beli, died under his own blade.
Now that Big Bear has taken action, he no longer has any reservations. His figure keeps flashing in the crowd, like teleportation. No, this is teleportation. Without any warning, he disappears from here and appears from the other side.
Every time he printed a palm, a pirate would fall. No pirate could resist one of his palms. Such strength should never appear in such a battle.
If it appears, it will be crushed!
When each of the pirates fell down, the remaining pirates finally realized something was wrong. They instantly gave up their entanglement with the soldiers in front of them and chose to run away.
However, they were not lucky this time. No one could escape the terrifying huge figure. Every time the big bear appeared, one person would fall to the ground without exception.
Soon, none of the pirates could stand anymore. Under the moonlight, only the huge figure loomed in the firelight, like a god or demon.
It took a long time before the soldiers cheered for the survivors.
"We won!"
…
…
"and after?"
Allen listened with great interest in the tavern and was very interested in the story that happened in the Kingdom of Sorbey, especially when the protagonist of the story was someone he was familiar with but had never met.
"Later, those pirates who survived were all sentenced to death and had their heads chopped off in front of all the people. The king had left the kingdom with his people, and he didn't know where to escape. Those of us who were lucky enough to survive were not dead.
The people supported Bartholomew. Your Excellency Big Bear became the new king of Sorbey, and now our Kingdom of Sorbey has a new scene."
Due to geographical reasons, the size of the country here is sometimes limited by the size of the island. The Kingdom of Sorbe is a not-so-large country on a small island.
Since being forced to withdraw from the World Government, this country has declined even more. As a hero who saved the country, Big Bear was elected king. This kind of thing is not unusual.
With the craze for going overseas in recent times, any country needs such a powerful person to take charge, so that the country will not be unable to do anything when it is in crisis.
"Guest, if you go to the square in front of the palace, there are still some traces of the battle that have not been eliminated. This kind of thing cannot be deceived." The owner of the tavern thought that Allen did not believe it, so he added.
Allen nodded: "I want to go take a look. I am very interested in this kind of heroic story. If it can be written in a book, it will definitely be a good material."
He is now pretending to be a writer who travels around the world. With this identity, it is easy for him to inquire about various information without being noticed. Usually, even if he meets some pirates, they will maintain a certain degree of respect for his identity.
"Of course, His Majesty the Big Bear is a legendary Devil Fruit user. If you are lucky enough, you can go to that bookstore and maybe meet the King. It's hard to say now. He must have been there before. I have seen him.
He did it more than once." The tavern owner said proudly.
Things like Devil Fruit are far away from ordinary people. Even in the Grand Line, they are still very rare legends, let alone all over the world.
If there are stories about Devil Fruits around you, they will definitely be written about.
After chatting for a while, Allen got up and left the tavern, strolling towards the palace.
In the past ten years in this world, he has been to too many places. The current Solbe Kingdom is not outstanding among the cities he has seen, and even looks mediocre. The buildings on the streets can tell whether the country is
Even though he has moved to the more prosperous inner city area.
There are many countries like this in the world. If it weren't for the king Big Bear, it might not be known to anyone except this country.
But one thing that can be seen is that the country has regained its vitality. The smiles on the faces of the people on the streets cannot be concealed. This proves that they have recovered from the blow of the pirate invasion, and perhaps they have also communicated with the newly appointed king.
related to policies that benefit the people.
Bartholomew. Daxiong was born in a poor family. He lost his family when he was very young and made a living by cutting and selling firewood. Even so, Daxiong did not give up on himself. In addition to selling firewood, he spent all the rest of his time on
Reading.
As time went by, Big Bear's reputation began to spread to a certain extent. When he grew up, he began to build a bookstore for ordinary people to study. He is someone else's child that countless people talk about, not to mention.
This time he took action to defeat the invading pirates and saved the country.
Only then did people realize that this young man, who was much taller than an ordinary person, not only had profound knowledge, but also had such great strength.
Naturally, people here have a deep sense of identification with him. When someone proposed to make him king, almost no one opposed it.
After Big Bear became the king, he quickly gave back to the people here. From the policies he promulgated, it can be seen that he was indeed much better than the previous king and treated ordinary people much better.
In the square in front of the palace, a brand new stone monument was erected. There were many flowers beside the stone monument to commemorate the people who unfortunately died during the pirate invasion.
At the entrance of the palace, Allen could still see some traces of the battle, and some blood stains had not been completely removed.
Beside the stone monument, there were local residents mourning their family members. Allen did not disturb them and walked slowly through the place, heading towards the library that the tavern owner said Big Bear created himself.
Reading changes your destiny. This is the best way for people at the bottom to climb up.
After all, things like Devil Fruit are too rare and can only be encountered but cannot be sought, but for things like reading, as long as you have perseverance, you can always find a way.
There are also many opportunities in the future.
Just like the Big Bear that Allen heard from the tavern owner, an orphan whose parents died when he was young, who makes a living by chopping and selling firewood, and is still able to study unremittingly. Allen believes that even without Devil Fruit, Big Bear can live a happy life.
good.
The bookstore is not close to the palace, and is closer to the area where poor people live. The place is not big, there is only a two-story building, but it is full of dazzling things, and there are many children studying hard inside.
Allen casually opened a few books and found that they were all very old books and well preserved. It could be seen how much the bookstore owners and readers cherished these books.
Most of the books on the first floor are aimed at young people who are not very advanced. They are very basic general knowledge, but very complicated. There are even some basic books on medicine, which are rare.
Being a doctor is a very high-end profession in this world, and it is also an important way for ordinary people to climb up. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to persist if they do not have certain talents.
Allen walked towards the second floor. The space on the second floor was not big, and there were a lot fewer bookshelves. There was also a special reading room. The level of knowledge here was more than one level higher than that downstairs. There were many books that Allen didn't have.
I've seen it - this is normal. As a poor student, he is not that enthusiastic about learning.
In the reading room, Allen was surprised to see Bartholomew Bear.
He sat there quietly by himself, like a sculpture if it weren't for the flipping of books.
In Allen's opinion, since Big Bear has become the king of this country, he should no longer spend time in this bookstore. He didn't expect that Big Bear would do something so unexpected.
He was holding a book in his hand. The 16-page book looked like a children's book in his hand, almost holding it in the same state.
Allen's appearance attracted Big Bear's attention, and it was difficult not to notice. His unique temperament formed after various experiences made him easily distinguishable from ordinary people.
What's more, he didn't disguise himself too much, he just put a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, which gave him a more bookish air than usual.
"Navy hero, Lieutenant General Allen?" Daxiong looked at Allen, although he was questioning, but his tone was very affirmative, "I didn't expect that a big shot like you would appear in the South China Sea. It seems that Roger, the Pirate King, was there before he was captured.
The rumors about the South China Sea are true."
Allen didn't ask why others recognized him. Even if Daxiong didn't master the Haki of Wisdom and Information, people with strong strength can still detect some people who can give them a sense of danger. In addition, he didn't deliberately disguise himself.
It's not too far-fetched to recognize him.
What interests him is what Big Bear can infer from these things. He is indeed a man with a very clear mind.
Allen said: "I am on vacation now. Whether Roger has appeared in the South China Sea has nothing to do with me and is not my responsibility. I happened to pass by the Kingdom of Sorbey. I didn't expect that interesting things happened here. As a king, you are not in the palace.
Reading here is a bit unexpected."
"The palace is too spacious, and there are no books I like to read. I can be quiet here for a while without being disturbed by others." Big Bear raised the book in his hand.
"Encyclopedia of Island Customs around the World".
Allen saw the title of the book and wanted to ask if your customs were serious or not, but looking at Big Bear's appearance, he was not that kind of person.
He suddenly remembered that Big Bear had the ability to take people to different places. If this were the case, wouldn't it save a lot of time?
"I thought that after becoming a king, you would read more books on how to govern a country."
"Of course I can read those books, but rather than becoming a king, I would rather see this vast world and experience different scenery and people."
"Traveling, just like me now, I also like to travel around the world after my vacation." Allen said, "I know a person who also likes to travel around the world. His name is Dorag. If you meet him, maybe
There will be a common language.”
Big Bear has just become the king, and he probably doesn't know Dolag at this time. He, who Dolag calls his 'mentor', might be able to help them get to know each other earlier.
"Dorag?" Big Bear nodded, indicating that he had memorized the name. "Lieutenant General Allen should have been to many places. I don't know if he has been to Fish-Man Island. Is Fish-Man Island the same as what is mentioned in this book?
