Chapter 125 Alabasta
Alabastan, the desert country.
In a certain town, about dozens of pirates gathered here. There were many cloth bags full of gold coins piled up behind them. Several pirates were putting the gold coins in the cloth bag into their big pockets.
There were about a dozen civilians next to them squatting on the ground with their heads in their arms, with a look of horror on their faces. Next to them were four or five pirates holding sharp blades, surrounding the more than ten civilians in the center.
In front of many pirates, there were about a hundred Alabastan guards confronting the pirates, holding spears and muskets in their hands, all of which looked very nervous.
"Let me release the person soon! You have already got the money!"
In the center of the guard, a girl with sky blue hair glared at the pirates. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was not afraid of many pirates.
But she was not afraid, but the guards and captains beside her were extremely nervous, with cold sweat on her forehead, and people kept saying:
"Your Highness the Princess... It's very dangerous here, please back..."
"Just leave it to us for dealing with pirates."
However, listening to the words of many guards, Weiwei clenched her fists and said, "They took hostages and could not be simply solved by force. If the father is not here, I can only deal with it."
Many pirates faced several times the number of Alabastan guards, but did not show any fear. The pirate captain in the lead grinned, waved the wide-blade sword in his hand, and said, "I got a lot of money, but these are just the money I plundered. How much do you think the lives of these hostages in our hands can be worth?!"
Upon hearing this, Vivi gritted her teeth and walked forward: "Alabastan is a poor country. We have no money to give to you here. Please let the hostages go and leave!"
"Tsk."
The pirate captain looked at Weiwei, narrowed his eyes and said, "Who would believe you if you have no money in such a big country? Then again, you seem to be the princess of this country, right?"
"yes!"
Wei Wei, who was only fourteen years old, still spoke without fear in the face of many pirates and said, "How can you let go?"
The pirate captain yelled and said, "Didn't it be said that we only want money. There are fourteen people here, each of whom can let go if they pay 10 million Baileys. If I can't afford the money, I can't help you anymore. Young Princess, hahahaha."
Just as the pirate captain finished speaking, a large number of guards rushed to the street, and together with the previous people, there were nearly two or three hundred, surrounding the street layer by layer.
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Weiwei looked at the pirate captain and said seriously: "You have also seen that our troops have far exceeded you, and the reinforcements will continue to come. I don't think you are willing to start a battle here, right?"
"In exchange, release the hostages and you can leave here safely!"
The decisive and firm tone was not as if it could be said by a fourteen-year-old young princess, so that the captain of the guards and others next to her couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
This is their Princess of Alabastan!
Although His Majesty Cobra does not have a prince, Princess Vivi's spirit and courage will be able to succeed the throne and govern this country in the future!
“…”
Hearing Princess Vivi's words, the pirate captain's face suddenly darkened. He looked at the many guards surrounded on the street, snorted coldly, put the knife in his hand on the neck of a hostage, and said viciously: "Are you threatening us?"
"No, not a threat, just a statement of facts."
Wei Wei was extremely nervous when she saw the knife in the pirate captain's hand that was less than half a finger from a civilian's neck, but she still responded in a deep voice.
At the same time, the musket team in the guards pointed all the muskets at many pirates.
The pirate captain looked at the many muskets aimed at him and his companions, and couldn't help but squint his eyes. Although he was not afraid of these two or three hundred people, once the fight started, casualties were inevitable, and the opponent's reinforcements were indeed still arriving continuously.
Damn it.
It's been too long!
"If you let the hostages go, you give way. I can't believe it easily. Moreover, we have fifteen hostages in our hands. Even if one or two are killed, you will not dare to take action."
"Don't threaten me!"
The pirate captain opened his mouth fiercely, stepped on the civilian's back, and stomped it over, and the blade in his hand pressed against the other party's neck.
"stop!"
Vivi shouted loudly.
The pirate captain looked at Weiwei, then looked at the civilians with fear on his feet, suddenly grinned and said, "He is really a good princess who cares about the people. Since you want to save them so much, how about you come here and be a hostage?"
"I can't afford the money. I think the lives of civilians are not worth it. If it were replaced by the princess's life, it would probably be different, hahahaha."
The first half of the sentence almost made the guard captain and others shout out loud, but the second half of the sentence changed everyone's face, including Bell, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, who came to hear the news.
These pirates!!
Bell clenched his fists, and his eyes showed anger. Once such remarks spread, even if most people don’t believe them, they will have a certain impact on Vivi and the Kingdom.
Vivi also knew this very well. She looked at the fearful look of the dozen civilians, gritted her teeth, walked forward and said, "Yes! Then I will be your hostage!"
"no!"
"Your Highness Vivi, you can't do this!"
The guards next to them almost opposed in unison.
Including the adjutant Bell, he rushed out of the crowd and said, "His Highness Vivi, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty in this way... I will do the hostages! I am the adjutant of Alabastan's escort!"
He said as he walked towards the pirates.
Seeing this, the pirate captain snorted, and the knife in his hand drew a little bloodline on the civilian's neck, saying, "Adminton Guard? Can you be a hostage? Maybe you have some special abilities. Want to come and attack? Stand there for me!"
Bell stopped with a stiff face.
Seeing this, Weiwei took a deep breath, crossed Bell, came to the front of the pirates, and said, "I'll be hostage, you can let the others go!"
Although she showed a courage far beyond her age, she still had a tremor in her voice when she spoke. After all, she was facing a fierce pirate. It was impossible to say that she had no fear at all, but she had to overcome her fear.
The pirate captain was a little surprised to see Vivi coming. He had just thought that this princess was doing a great job and was deeply in the hearts of the people, so he planned to deliberately destroy it. Unexpectedly, the other party really dared to come over as a hostage exchange!
"Your Highness the Princess seems to be very sensible, hahaha."
After a slight accident, the pirate captain grinned and kicked the civilians away with one foot. At the same time, he grabbed Vivi and pushed back. The pirates behind him immediately took their swords and snatched them.
Although he looked at the young princess Vivi with some admiration, he was a pirate, and it was impossible to be kind.
