MTL - Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!-Chapter 20 Inside and outside the chessboard

Rowan had to admit that he did underestimate the operational efficiency of the World Government - especially in the aspect of the Dragon people.

The three returned to Albana from Yalujia all the way, and arrived at the palace in the early morning of the next day.

Luo Wen ordered someone to send the sleeping Weiwei back to her own room.

Afterwards, Rowan and Crocodile also planned to rest, but saw Cobra with a distressed face.

"I just received the news that people from the world government are here."

"It's the representative of the Navy," said Cobra.

"Oh?"

Crocodile raised his eyebrows, "Admiral dispatched?"

Cobra shook his head and said, "No, it's two lieutenant generals."

Crocodile was a little surprised and said with a gloomy smile: "Ha ha ha, it seems that an emperor from eight hundred years ago is very 'threatening'!"

At first glance, the weight of two vice admirals is far less than that of one admiral.

But Crocodile could see the clues.

If you let the general take action directly, it would be tantamount to directly declaring war on Rowen himself, and the two lieutenant generals are obviously much more peaceful, and the meaning of communication and temptation is more obvious.

The move of the World Government means that they don't want to completely tear up the man who calls himself Ryan Rowan until they thoroughly understand the details of the other party.

reason?

Of course, because in history, Ryan Rowan did have such a person!

"First of all, ask the two mid-futures to talk about it. It's a very prudent approach. Most of it is the strategy of that guy in the Warring States Period."

Crocodile found a chair and sat down. He smiled and said, "Who is it? Flying squirrel? Burning mountain?"

"Do not."

Cobra shook his head again, "It's Lieutenant Admirals Crane and Garp from the Navy Headquarters."

As soon as these words came out, Crocodile's complexion suddenly changed.

His eyes trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to think in his mind.

After a while, he grinned dryly and looked at Rowan.

"Well, I admit, I did underestimate the name Ryan Rowan."

Crane, Karp—

The guy who can make these two "Lieutenant Generals" dispatch at the same time, how many people can there be in this sea?

…

According to the information obtained, the navy team will arrive at Albana in the evening.

Rowan explained the fisherman village to Cobra.

Finally, he patted the current king of Alabasta on the shoulder.

"The rest is up to you!"

After saying that, he went back to his room to rest.

People always need to rest, especially after a long day and night.

Seeing this situation, Cobra felt helpless, but nodded seriously.

Regarding the administrative system of the Alabasta Empire, it was recorded in the history books of the Neferutali family—

Externally, Emperor Ryan Rowan conquered all powerful enemies;

Internally, Neferutari, who was the prime minister at the time, handled the tedious government affairs.

The combination of internal and external has created that huge and powerful empire.

And now, Rowan's thinking seems to be the same.

He didn't care about the title of "king", but continued to move towards the more distant goal in his heart.

As soon as he made his move, he established an unheard-of murloc village in the human kingdom!

Cobra couldn't help sighing, feeling the pressure inside.

Can you compare to Neferutari herself back then?

After thinking for a while, Cobra got up and went on to handle government affairs.

He needs to arrange the king's army to pay attention to the sea conditions around Yalujia, to prevent other slave traders from following and harassing Yalujia and the residents of the fishman village.

There is nothing wrong with doing more, as this king who is devoted to his people has always been.

…

evening.

Rowan left the room and ate a little something.

The navy team seemed to be still on the way, so Rowan was bored of waiting, so he pulled Ikalem, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, to play chess with him.

In the study, the two of them sat cross-legged on both sides of the chessboard.

"Well well! Lord Ancestor, although I don't want to brag about myself, I am proficient in the flag of Alabasta!"

The curly-haired man let out his signature laugh.

As the captain of the guard who has served the Neferutari family for many years, it is not surprising that Ikalem calls Rowan the ancestor.

According to him, Rowan is the ancestor of the name "Alabasta" itself, and any citizen of this country can call him that.

"Just let me compete with the ancestors!"

Ikalem smiled confidently.

…

after an hour.

Ikalem's confident curly hair has been pulled down as much as possible.

Tremblingly, he picked up a chess piece, but he couldn't drop it.

"I lost…"

Ikalem's expression is quite complicated.

Because it wasn't the first game he lost, but the tenth game!

For ten games of chess, there was no doubt about the fiasco!

Ikalem's head was a little dizzy. After all, the average length of a plate of Alabasta's flag was about an hour, and it would take longer for an expert.

But now, he has lost an entire game of chess in an average of six minutes!

Ikalem covered his head, recalling the match just now.

Every time he took his next step, Rowan would follow him, without the slightest stagnation, nor the slightest mistake or flaw.

Every move seemed to take into account the direction of the entire chess game.

Ikalem even has an illusion that the person sitting in front of him is not a human at all, but a ruthless machine that only knows the correct result!

Rowan smiled, looking a little unfulfilled.

"Let's do another set, how about I let you five children this time?"

"that…"

Ikalem was a little tangled. The pressure of playing against Rowan had already made his body a little uncomfortable, but he was too embarrassed to say so.

I can't stand it anymore...

Just when Ikalem was about to turn down Rowan, an old voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Let the old man come to the next game, how about it?"

Rowan and Ikarem followed the voice and saw an old grizzled woman.

She wore a simple ponytail and was lined with a light blue shirt. Although her face was full of wrinkles, her dark blue eyes exuded a radiance that was unique to young people.

And behind that mother-in-law, there is a cloak of justice representing the navy!

The mother-in-law helped Ikalem and sat opposite Rowan under the surprised gaze of the other party.

She smiled.

"The flag of Alabasta, the old man will be a little better."

Luo Wen looked at the other party, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Ms. He, please."

"Hoohoho, it's a real honor to be called 'lady' by His Majesty the Emperor eight hundred years ago."

Granny Crane smiled kindly, but the faint breath emanating from her brows made Ikalem shudder at the side.

Granny Crane picked up a chess piece, turned her head and said to Ikalem:

"Young brat, you've lost a crushing defeat. Let's take a break."

Then, Granny Crane dropped the first chess piece.

As before, Rowan's pieces followed.

Ikalem, who was watching the game, frowned slightly, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com subconsciously thought about the solution to this move.

here? Still there?

No, my head started to hurt again...

Granny He smiled and shook her head, still slowly picking up a chess piece, and then dropping it down steadily.

This scene made Ikalem stunned.

Because at the moment when the chess piece landed, most of the astonishing sense of oppression emanating from Rowan suddenly disappeared.

Granny Crane smiled and taught:

"The chessboard is the same as the battlefield. Never be brought into the opponent's rhythm, otherwise it will be very tiring."

Rowan looked at the chessboard and asked, "Is it the same for negotiation and temptation?"

Granny Crane shook her head, "Not necessarily, separate people."

Rowan dropped a **** and continued to ask, "What if that person was me?"

"It would be better if you were direct."

Granny Crane continued her move.

The two of you are talking to each other, like two old friends who are chatting at home, but Ikalem, who is on the side, knows very well how dangerous the scene in front of you is!

Whether it is Rowan or the navy mother-in-law, they all exude a suffocating sense of oppression!

Even at the World Conference, when all the kings of the allied countries gathered together, very few people could give Ikalem such a feeling!

Rowan smiled and shook his head, "How to be straightforward?"

Granny Crane asked bluntly:

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Rowan thought for a while, and said slowly:

"The sea is a chessboard."

"The people who live in it are chess pieces."

Rowan picked up a chess piece, looked up and looked forward.

Fall.

"I am the chess player."
