I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 226 “Battle competition to recruit a bride”
Basically, every island that is a member of the World Government will have at least one naval branch base.
The reason why it is said to be at least is because the territory under the jurisdiction of a world government member country may not only be one island. Some powerful kingdoms may cover an archipelago and sea area. The navy could either set up a few more branch bases and deploy additional protective forces, or simply establish a powerful branch base on the island where the royal city is located, and send general-level officers to sit there to protect other islands.
Old Buck is a sailor at the naval branch base on this island. Logistics Marine.
His training tasks are relatively few. While other comrades are still practicing shooting in the base, he has already processed the domestic garbage in the base, left the royal city, and went to East Town to buy flour, and to West Village to buy fish and shrimp. Go to Nancheng to buy vegetables, go to Beigang to buy... Huh?
Old Buck was in front of a street vendor in Beigang, skillfully negotiating prices with the stall owner. We were having a great time fighting with each other, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure.
This little girl is so pretty... Oh no, Old Buck rubbed his eyes, screaming because of the sour fishy water on his fingers, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Old Buck, what's wrong with you?" the stall owner said helplessly, "Okay, okay, just 4,000 beli, okay? Why are you still crying!"
"I didn't..." Old Buck slowed down for a moment, his eyes still red, and he glanced doubtfully at the intersection where people were just now, but the beautiful figure was nowhere to be seen. "I seemed to have seen someone just now..."
The stall owner said: "There are people everywhere here."
"She is a rare beauty!" Old Buck emphasized, "She doesn't seem to be from this town..."
"Where is it?" The stall owner stretched out his head and looked around.
"It's gone a long time ago!" Old Buck gloated.
The stall owner said angrily: "4300 Baileys! No bargaining."
"You just said 4,000 Baileys!" Old Buck cursed, still glanced in that direction, and muttered to himself, "I always feel like... I have seen that person several times..."
"Old Buck, you don't want to say that this beautiful woman is following you, do you?" The stall owner laughed. He knew the logistics marine's daily purchasing route very well. By the time he arrived in their town, he was already counting down the days. The second stop.
Old Buck blushed and said in embarrassment: "Maybe I saw it wrong!"
After a lot of talking, he successfully bargained for 3,900 beli. Old Buck moved the bags of fresh fruits to the shopping cart. Before leaving, he glanced doubtfully over there, shook his head and left.
Behind his car, one ear disintegrated into petals, and the pieces fell off.
"..."
The flower clone entered the town bookstore alone, and paused slightly while selecting books.
""The Past of the Lost Kingdom of Beipang"... Little girl, I can't tell that you are interested in a book like this?" the bookstore owner said with a smile.
The flower clone smiled faintly and did not explain.
When the clone speaks, it also takes away part of the concentration of the main body. If too much concentration is placed on her side, other clones may have flaws. If it is not necessary, of course, save it if you can.
When choosing a book, Hua Clone simply flipped through it without reviewing it carefully.
Anyway, Robin has very mixed tastes in reading books. She actually doesn’t care much about the quality of the books, as long as she can read them.
The reason why Robin is a historian is not because she is most interested in history. She had no friends since she was a child, and the only group of people who were friendly to her were the history scholars on O'Hara Island. If those scholars studied music or biology, then in order to get closer to them when he was a child, Robin probably tried to become a musician or a biologist.
Seeing a few stacks of newspapers on the shelf next to the counter, Hua clone picked one up.
Although there are hard-working newspaper sellers like Newsbird in the sea, not all newspapers are delivered by Newsbird.
News Bird is the exclusive dispatcher of the "World Economic News" newspaper. They do not deliver newspapers from other newspapers, such as the "Nanhai Weekly", "Nanhai Entertainment" and other local newspapers in the hands of Hua Clone. These are delivered by boats from various newspapers to each island, and distributed to various bookstores. Of course, more powerful small newspapers may also have the financial resources to use video phone bugs to transmit ultra-long distance images to branches in various places, and then print them at the same time...
“The number of tourists on Magnife Island has reached a new high... It seems that the news announced by Her Royal Highness Princess Olson of the Mutez Kingdom that she will select a husband through a fighting competition has attracted the attention of everyone in the South China Sea... I wonder who will pick up the most beautiful gem in the Mutezi Kingdom in a month...Reporter/Elizabeth"
"According to insiders, not only the final champion will be favored by Princess Olsen... The insider said that Princess Olsen may be more interested in people with Devil Fruit abilities... In the next month, the sea of the South China Sea will Maybe there will no longer be peace! ...Reporter/Marley"
"The stationed navy stated that it will send more manpower to Magniphy Island to resolutely crack down on any pirates and other criminals who take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters... Reporter/Kate"
Princess... Hua took a second look at some entertainment news, paid the bill, and put the purchased books into her bag.
"What's wrong?" Lynch noticed that Robin was distracted from time to time, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really difficult to control five clones at the same time!"
At this time, Robin, the main body, followed Lynch, Hancock and the others, wandering around the port town where the pirate ship docked.
"Someone noticed me. My clone."
Robin shook his head, took out a pair of sunglasses he bought casually and put them on. He whispered close to Lynch, "That person seems to be a logistics staff of the naval base on this island. He is in several towns on the island." When I was shopping there, my flower clones in those towns were noticed by him one after another..."
"Oh, my God, look at you little unlucky guy!" Lynch said happily, "I passed through all the towns on the island with nothing to do, and I happened to meet your clone again... What a small chance it is. ?"
Robin gave him a helpless look. Lin Qi said: "It's nothing!" He pointed at Robin's face.
In more than three years, Robin has grown up a lot, and his appearance has naturally changed.
Not only the true appearance of Nicole Robin, but also the appearance of the disguised Kujo Xu Lun, during this period of time, she compared her true appearance and adjusted it little by little... as if Her other face also grew up slowly over time. Even if the flower clone is noticed, it will not be connected to Robin's true identity, and even her identity as Xu Lun may not be exposed... After all, the current appearance of "Kujo Xu Lun" is already full of youth. A girl, not the ten-year-old **** the reward order three or four years ago.
"Besides, there should be quite a lot of Devil Fruit ability users emerging in the South China Sea during this period."
Lin Qi took out a copy of the "Nanhai Entertainment" newspaper from nowhere.
Robin's flower clone had already read this newspaper, and of course he knew what was written on it. He blinked and said, "But I am a girl..."
“Can’t girls participate in martial arts competitions to recruit brides and win princesses?”
Lin Qi laughed and looked thoughtfully at the name of the island in the newspaper. Magniphy Island...if he remembered correctly, it was the island where the man with the magnetic fruit ability was mentioned by the old man from Haledas, right?
