Chapter 242
So Short
Inside the huge fortress on the hillside, Gadi pushed the door and entered a dark place. This place seemed to be unable to shine sunlight and everything seemed very dark.
Only the echo of footsteps indicated that this place should be very big.
After taking a few steps, he knelt on one knee and touched his chest with his left hand. “Master, I touched an excellent knife.”
In front of him, there seemed to be a staircase with the outline of a throne above it.
After the echo of Gadi’s voice, a short question came from the outline.
“Knife?”
“Yes, my master.”
Gadi lowered his head and said, “That’s a black blade, the 21st sword of the Great Sword. It’s a blade that was once used by the Great Sword Dragon Horse of the Country of Peace. If Master has that blade, he can make a stronger person.”
“Then why did you come to see me empty-handed?” The voice at the top sounded low.
“Master, the current owner of that knife is a Marine. It is not convenient for me to take action, but I have already sent the [Blade Gang] forward. I believe that the knife will appear in Master’s hand.”
Clank!
As soon as he finished speaking, something fell from the top and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
It was a straight blade, but the blade was full of cracks.
This made Gadi’s face change slightly. He stared at the knife for a while and lowered his head even more. “Master, I will bring their heads back now.”
The upper end stopped talking and the sound of footsteps sounded in the open space.
Tap, tap, tap…
The footsteps seemed to step on Gadi’s heart, making his forehead start to sweat and his face become more and more green. His lowered head saw a pair of feet appear in his eyes.
“Stand up.”
The sound entered his ears.
Gardi stood up as he was told, still with his head down, stunned and silent.
“Look at me.”
Gadi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He suddenly looked up as if he had made a decision and opened his eyes.
“Master, Master! I really can’t see you!” Gadi said in panic.
The dark place was inexplicably bright at this time. In front of Gadi was a hall, and on the hall were stairs covered with golden blankets, and above the stairs was a throne, but no matter where it was, there was no one.
Gadi was shaking all over. His indifferent and elegant face was extremely afraid.
There was no one in front of him, as if the feet he saw before were fake.
“Look down, you bastard!”
Snap.
Suddenly, a foot kicked his calf. Gadi looked down and saw a short and fat man staring at him with gritted teeth.
For Gardy’s three-meter height, this short and fat man, almost to the calf, is so short that it can be ignored if he doesn’t lower his head.
“So short!”
Gardy covered her cheeks with both hands and her mouth formed an O shape with a twisted expression. “Is my master so short?”
“That’s enough, Gadi!”
The short and fat man kicked again before he stepped back and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
“Eh? Eggs?”
Gadi suddenly said.
The stout man was stunned and suddenly realized that he was talking about himself. The veins on his forehead were exposed. “Gadi! Do you want to die!”
“Sorry, Great Master.”
Gadi wiped his tears. “I can’t help but be sad at the thought that Master is such a short person. Ah! He is really too short. Although Master is wise and very smart, bringing peace and prosperity to Moe Island, he is really too short.”
The stout man roared, “Don’t say short again!”
“Yes, Master.”
Gadi straightened his face and looked at the short and fat man. He suddenly laughed. “Eggs.”
The short and fat man rolled his eyes weakly and did not argue with Gadi anymore.
“Just bring the knife back. I don’t want to argue with Marines. Although I’m not afraid, it’s better to keep a low profile.”
“Yes, Master. Your expectations are my motivation.”
Gadi bowed and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked stunned.
The short and fat man looked at him and said, “Gadi, if you say I am short again, I will throw you into the laboratory and experiment again!”
“No, Master…”
Gadi turned around and looked outside with a solemn expression. “That group of Marines is rushing in this direction.”
“Oh?”
The short and fat man was stunned for a moment and laughed. “Is it because they have discovered the strangeness of the [Blade Gang]? That’s right, that kind of defective product is good for maintaining public order, but it’s not flexible at all. It’s normal to be curious.”
“Then let them come in… I happen to be lacking in raw materials, let Marine take a look. The ultimate peace weapon is not a ‘Peaceful Master’. Vegapunk is not the smartest person, I am!”
“He won’t understand that talents are the most abundant in this world, and the power exerted by the combination of people and weapons is the strongest!”
“Hehe, hahahaha!”
The short and fat man bared his white teeth and held out his hand. His action made the sword at Gadi’s waist tremble.
Gadi knelt down again and said seriously, “Yes, Master, what you created is the strongest!”
… .
At the foot of the hill, a group of people slowly advanced. One of the Marines took out Den Den Mushi and nodded as he listened to something. Then, Den Den Mushi hung up and he put Den Den Mushi in his arms and ran forward a few steps, following Kuro who was at the front.
“You found out?” Kuro looked up and asked.
“Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.”
The ensign said, “According to the nearby base’s understanding of this island, the ruler of this island, namely Sir Kekojima, is called Bonaparte Poropa. He ruled here twenty years ago.”
“Before this, the Jazz here was a very brutal ruler. At that time, the situation on Moe Island was very bad. Pirates were rampant and the residents were violent. It was even more chaotic than ‘Demon Valley Town’.
“After Poropa came here, he rescued the residents here and defeated the former Sir Kekojima. Somehow, he became the new Sir Kekojima and has ruled until now.”
Listening to the Second Lieutenant’s words, Kuro’s eyes opened, “Oh? Then he’s a guy who knows how to govern, all the more need to see him. What about the others?”
“A few years ago, Moe Island was divided into the upper and lower city areas. We are in the lower city area, which is for the people coming and going to carry out refurbishment trade, and the upper city area is closed. People are not allowed to enter there. The intelligence said that Sir Bonaparte and the World Government have a good relationship. Lieutenant Colonel, if we go in rashly, will we…” The Second Lieutenant was a little hesitant.
Kuro looked at him sideways. “Is he a member country?”
“It’s not…”
“Then that’s it. It’s not the jurisdiction of the World Government. Besides, I just went in to take a look and wanted to know the living habits of the local residents. The governance is so good, they should be able to see people.”
He has a good relationship with the World Government, and he is not a member country, plus that strange weapon slave…
Even if he doesn’t want to care about it, he has to investigate it even if he sees it. Otherwise, the last bit of conscience will make him unable to sleep.
