One Piece: My Second Uncle is Kizaru

"Based on their pirate flags, the guards judged them to be..."

"The Dusk Pirates who just defeated Shichibukai Crocodile not long ago!!!"

"What did you say!?"

Peng!

Dalton stood up suddenly, and because he used too much force, he knocked the chair behind him away.

But at this moment, he had no intention of caring about the fallen chair.

As a soldier born in the Grand Line, Dalton is no stranger to pirates.

Pirates visit this island almost every half a month.

Some of them wanted to plunder the villages and towns of the Drum Kingdom, while others just wanted to stay here for supplies.

Normally, the guards stationed by the royal palace in various villages and towns are sufficient to resist invading pirate groups.

however……

"White Dragon Kyle, bounty of 1.5 million!"

Dalton suddenly picked up a brand new bounty on the table.

Because the Kingdom of Alabasta is not far from the Kingdom of Drum.

So he was still very curious about what happened there.

It is for this reason that Dalton knows very well that if the Dusk Pirates, who are capable of defeating the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are allowed to land, they will become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!

The best way is to use the military facilities on the coast to force the enemy to stop in the open sea and then communicate.

If the other party just wants supplies, they can send supply ships.

If the opponent wants to do something bad to them, they can also use artillery to drive the opponent away.

Thinking of this, Dalton immediately asked:

"How long will it take them to reach Drum Island!?"

"This..." The soldier's face turned pale and he replied:

"According to the guards, the Dusk Pirates' warships are sailing at a speed that they can hardly understand!"

"It is estimated that they will arrive at the Drum Kingdom in less than an hour!"

"What!? An hour!?"

Dalton exclaimed again.

This time was shorter than he expected.

But immediately, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that now was not the time to be shocked.

Dalton's soldiers immediately gave the order:

"Order all members of the escort team to immediately board the high-altitude track and go with me to the town of Kesda for strategic deployment!"

"We must intercept all the pirates outside Drum Island!"

"Yes!"

The guard soldier took the order and turned around and ran outside.

However, at this moment, a voice that surprised Dalton suddenly came.

"Dalton! What kind of orders are you giving?!"

"Send all the guards to protect the civilians. Do you want to leave our Majesty without soldiers to protect him and put him in danger!?"

Chapter 122: The big drum stage, come if you dare!

"What did you say!?"

Dalton looked at the person who spoke with an angry look on his face.

But suddenly a thin man with a dark afro and two boxing gloves on his hands walked over.

And behind him, there stood the king who ruled the entire Magnetic Drum Kingdom - Wapol!

"Dalton! Cro-Malimon is right!"

"You sent out all your guards. Do you want the pirates to attack me directly?!"

Wapol, sitting in a sedan chair carried by four people, stuffed unknown metal into his mouth without hesitation and glanced at Dalton with disdain.

"I order you to cancel the previous order immediately and have all the guards guard the palace strictly! Don't let the pirates set foot here!"

"But, Your Majesty Wapol!"

Dalton's face changed drastically, and he said in panic:

"In this way, the people of Kesda Town may fall into the hands of pirates!"

"Hmph~ What does that have to do with me!?"

"They are just a bunch of low-class people. Who cares if they live or die?"

Wapol, who was chewing, looked at him with disdain, and immediately waved his hand, ordering the waiters carrying the sedan chair to move on.

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty Wapol..."

Dalton raised his hands in panic, trying to call out to Wapol.

But their King left without even looking back.

"how so……"

Dalton put down his arms weakly, his eyes filled with disappointment and regret.

The old king was obviously a good king who loved his people like his own children and worked hard to govern the country, but why did his son Walpo become like this?

This made Dalton, who was loyal to the old king, very conflicted and painful.

"Captain Dalton, what should we do?"

The soldier in charge of reporting hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

The pirates are coming soon. If we don't prepare, it will be too late.

but……

His Majesty the King has already ordered them to guard the palace. If they disobey the order...

The consequences will be disastrous!

After the soldier finished speaking, Dalton suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said to the soldiers:

"Prepare the zip line for me! This time, I'll go by myself!!!"

……

……

at the same time.

On the coast of the Drum Kingdom.

Because they discovered the arrival of the pirates in advance, a group of guard soldiers were waiting here early.

They are not afraid of the appearance of pirates!

Because behind them is the power of an entire country!

however……

Time passed bit by bit, and the huge warship was getting closer and closer to the port.

But the Kingdom Guards had yet to show up.

A soldier looked at his comrades with a guilty look on his face: "Didn't they say the news had been delivered to the palace? How come it's been so long and we haven't seen the guards coming yet?"

The soldier being questioned shook his head, but then he gritted his teeth and muttered:

"Don't worry! His Majesty the King and Captain Dalton will not abandon us!"

Just as the soldier finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from the back of the team.

"It's Captain Dalton!"

"Captain Dalton is here!!!"

"Great! If Captain Dalton is here, everything will be safe!"

"........."

"........."

When the soldiers heard the news of Dalton's arrival, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was like a stabilizing force, firmly steadying the soldiers' hearts.

however……

Seeing this scene, Dalton couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Because only he himself knew that his arrival would not help the outcome in any way.

Pirates who can defeat the Seven Warlords of the Sea are simply not someone they can contend with.

But even so, Dalton still walked to the front of the team, and after the huge cannons were positioned correctly, he waited for the arrival of the Dusk Pirates with a heavy face.

The huge warship was moving at a rapid speed, like a ferocious beast emerging from the sea, majestically crossing the ocean.

soon.

The Tiga arrived at the offshore area not far from the port.

And just at this moment...

A shell was suddenly fired from Magnetic Drum Island and fell into the sea in front of the Tiga.

"Pirate ship ahead! This is the waters of the Drum Kingdom! Pirates are not welcome, please leave immediately!!!"

Dalton, who was standing on the shore, shouted in a loud voice.

On the other side, on the ship of the Dusk Pirates.

"It seems like we are hated by others~"

Hearing Dalton's voice, Kyle smiled calmly, and then said to the little Tiga beside him:

"Ignore them and just keep moving forward!"

From the very beginning, he had never thought of resolving the issue of Magnetic Drum Island through peaceful means.

It just so happens that everyone is doing boring training every day, so they can regard this battle as the team building of the Dusk Pirates!

Kyle grinned.

The huge battleship Tiga continued to move forward without paying any attention to the threat of artillery fire.

Coast.

"Captain Dalton, they didn't stop the ship! What should we do!?"

A soldier pointed at the distant Tiga in horror, his expression horrified and stunned.

When they watched from a distance, they had no idea...

The Dusk Pirates' ship is so huge!

Even if they fired all the shells stored by Kesda, they might not be able to penetrate the enemy's defense.

At this time, Dalton also realized this and looked extremely ugly.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers around him:

"Everyone, prepare your weapons and equipment to meet the enemy!"

"Also, have the people of Kesda Town evacuate faster! And inform the nearby towns and villages to evacuate to the Kingdom Center as well!"
