Chapter 114
The Golden Merry stopped steadily at the port of Water City. At noon, the Straw Hat Adventurers woke up one after another, and they had finished resting.
Time went back to this morning, when the Straw Hat Pirates were still resting on the boat——
In the office of Mayor Iceberg of Water City.
Mayor Iceberg's subordinates hurried in to report:
"Mayor! Mayor!"
Iceberg yawned lazily at first:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't worry, tell me what happened that made you so flustered."
The subordinate reported breathlessly:
"Mayor! At the port of Water City, a special ship docked!"
Iceberg:
"What's going on? It's just a ship docking. What's so surprising? Water City receives so many ships every day."
The subordinate waved his hand:
"No! According to the newspaper comparison, that ship is the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea] Straw Hat Adventure The ship of the adventure group, the Golden Merry! "
"What? !"
Mayor Bingshan stood up:
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure! That seemingly modified ship is so recognizable!"
Mayor Bingshan sighed:
"Then the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea], that is, its captain, must be on the ship? Did they land?"
The subordinate reported:
"No one has been found to have landed yet, but there has been no movement since it anchored at the port!"
Bingshan picked up the newspaper next to him, which printed the big news [All members of the Straw Hat Adventure Group survived and killed Shiki the Golden Lion!] and [Burn the old world for me! The Golden Lion's dying declaration, the Shura Sword Master appeared out of nowhere!]
Bingshan waved his hand without hesitation:
"Receive them with the highest standard of etiquette! Such a big shot cannot be neglected! I will go in person!"
The secretary next to Bingshan, the hot girl disguised as CP9 agent Kalifa, echoed:
"Understood, these distinguished guests will be received with the highest standard!"
The following echoed:
"Yes! Let's prepare now!"
...
Time returns to the present.
Luffy looked at the prosperous Water City from the side of the ship:
"It's really spectacular! It's a different feeling to arrive in person! Get ready to put on your masks, everyone. It's the Mask Carnival in Water City now. It can not only play a camouflage role without causing a commotion, but also have fun. Why not?"
Luffy then caught a glimpse of the stalls selling local delicacies at the port. He found it interesting when he watched the anime. Now that he's here, how could he not try it:
"Sanji, buy more of this city's specialties later. It is said that the water meat tastes quite good!"
Sanji smiled:
"Got it, Luffy!"
Just when everyone was about to disembark, they suddenly had a thought, and their observation Haki also sensed the abnormality of the crowd at the port.
"Hmm?" Zoro was a little confused.
"Welcome the Seven Warlords of the Sea to the Water City!"
The salutes rang out, and the Straw Hat Pirates looked confused. Fifty men in suits lined up in two rows, making uniform gestures of invitation. A man in a flowered shirt stepped forward and saluted:
"Water City welcomes you! Dear Mr. Monkey D. Luffy, I am the mayor of Water City, Iceberg Iceberg. Please allow me to be responsible for receiving all the distinguished guests!"
The people of the Water City around were also asked to leave, and the efficiency of clearing the area was extremely high.
The Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other and fell into a strange silence for a while.
Well, it's impossible to be low-key this time. The Mask Carnival probably can't be low-key either.
The two groups stared at each other. As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Finally, it was Nami, the cowboy of the community, who had to come out to help:
"Um... Hello! Mayor Iceberg. We are the Straw Hat Adventure Group, and we are here to travel to the Seven Waters. We are honored to be received by the mayor in person! Then we will obey your orders, please lead the way!"
Iceberg was naturally very professional:
"Please!"
Then, the Straw Hat Group followed Mayor Iceberg and the honor guard to the highest standard reception hotel in the Seven Waters.
Bingshan's eyes flashed to Robin who was visiting the hotel nearby. There was a hint of something strange in his eyes, but he didn't show it. He continued to speak loudly:
"This is the place I arranged for you to stay. I hope you are satisfied. The expenses will be settled by our company, so don't worry.
There are many things to do in the Seven Waters, and various guides have been placed in front of your rooms. Now is the time for the Mask Carnival to be held in the Seven Waters, and the exquisite masks and various items needed have been prepared for you. I wish you all a happy time!"
Luffy was a little confused:
"Wait, wait, Bingshan,Mayor Shan, how come we are receiving such a high... courtesy! "
Bingshan was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Sir, don't you know that the news about you has been everywhere?"
Bingshan immediately ordered his men to bring the newspaper:
"Sir, please take a look. Such news has been spread to thousands of households. You are truly the [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea]! You are of noble status, how can we neglect you! "
The Straw Hat Pirates took a closer look. Oh, it's that news bird again! It can even sneak into the floating island. It's really omnipotent!
[All members of the Straw Hat Adventurers survived and killed Shiki the Golden Lion!], [Burn the old world for me! The Golden Lion's dying declaration, the Shura Sword Master appeared!] Such big news spread everywhere, and it was hard not to be famous.
After all, the legend of the legendary pirate [Golden Lion] is almost familiar to everyone in this world. Now that he was defeated and killed by the young Shichibukai, the sensation was huge, and it was normal for the world to be in an uproar.
Not to mention the Navy's vigorous publicity, the positive and high-end image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The newspaper also published the Navy's heavy reward for the Straw Hat Adventurers to kill the Golden Lion, which almost praised them to the sky.
On the other hand, Whitebeard in the New World raised the newspaper and drank the wine in the glass:
"Gu La La La La La La La! He said he would bring a great disaster to the world, but he was defeated by the man from the East Sea in the end!
The remnants of the old era are gradually dying out! Hahahaha, the dying declaration is "burn the rotten old world for me"? It can be regarded as bringing unimaginable undercurrents to the world!
Shiki the Golden Lion, let me toast you a glass!"
...
Back to Luffy.
The corners of the Straw Hat Pirates' mouths twitched. This time, no matter whether they admit that the so-called [Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea] is a false name or not, countless people will flock to it.
Luffy sighed helplessly:
"Okay, we roughly understand the situation. Sorry for your hospitality!"
Iceberg said loudly:
"No trouble! Just tell me if you have any needs! I usually stay in the mayor's office!"
"Thank you very much for your warm hospitality! ”
The Straw Hat Pirates said in unison.
So, the Straw Hat Pirates settled down and prepared to go out.
PS: The Water City is also called the Seven Water Cities, and the Seven Water Cities is the official name.
