Chapter 114
Chapter 114
In the end, Richardo agreed to Tepruto's plan.
The time for action was set for that night. This is also what Tepruto meant. On the one hand, he wanted to take action as soon as possible to avoid leaving behind any trouble. On the other hand, in the past few days, the violent, bloodthirsty, and desire to fight in Tepruto's body has become increasingly difficult to suppress as he has been staying in Aston.
He decided to take Profik's group and the Villa royal family as his prey this time.
Richardo decided to go all out and put all his strength into it. He gathered a few confidants who knew the whole plan from the beginning.
As for Tepruto, he didn't need to say anything more. Pirates originally made a living by looting, and giving them the opportunity to attack a country's royal city meant that they had the opportunity to obtain countless treasures. Therefore, as soon as Tepruto announced the news, they almost screamed and became excited as if they had been given a shot of blood.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, so it was a good time to take action. Tepruto and Richardo led their own troops and divided their troops into two groups to sneak into the King of Villa at night.
……
"Something's wrong here!"
The unusually quiet palace gave Tepruto an ominous smell. It was clear that Isabella's third bedroom was right in front, but they didn't see even a single guard.
Richardo attributed this phenomenon to his own good luck, or in other words, he was more willing to believe that his luck would turn out this time.
The bedroom of Isabella III was quiet and dark inside. Isabella III seemed to be sleeping on the bed, but he seemed to be sleeping a little too soundly, and he did not wake up even when Tepruto and others filed in.
Richardo couldn't hold it in any longer. He took a step forward, lifted the quilt, and at the same time pressed the long sword in his right hand against the man's neck.
If there is someone there.
Under the quilt, there was a bulging pillow.
Richardo finally came to his senses. He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window: "No..."
Before Richardo could finish his words, countless torches illuminated the dark palace. Countless soldiers of the Kingdom's Guards held open fire, armed with swords and crossbows, and surrounded Isabella III's bedroom.
Richardo's face turned livid, and he saw that surrounded by the crowd, the guards protected the weak and panting Isabella, who was thirty, walking out.
"I never expected that, Richardo, you would actually collude with the pirates!" Isabella III sighed. He was already very old and weak, and had not interfered with state affairs for a long time. Even in this coup, Princess Alice was responsible for most things.
When Profic and others took Princess Alice and Lisefine into the palace and asked Isabella to temporarily take refuge in the basement of the palace, Isabella III had no idea what was happening. In the end, Alice came forward in person and told him everything.
Isabella III calmly looked at his old friend, Richardo, with his turbid and weathered eyes. When he was a young man, Richardo was just a viscount. Later, as the Kingdom of Vera prospered under the leadership of Isabella III, Richardo also made great contributions to the country, so he was gradually promoted to duke.
But now, when they meet again, Isabella feels that the Richardo in front of her is particularly strange. He is no longer the passionate young man who wanted to contribute to the country.
"Stop it," Isabella III sighed, "before it's too late."
"Don't be fooled by this old guy!" Tepruto answered first, as if he was afraid that Richardo would get hot-headed.
"Hmph!" Richardo held the sword in his hand tightly, "Isabella, you are old and no longer worthy of leading this country forward! Wouldn't it be better to leave the country to young people?"
Isabella III frowned coldly: "Richardo, you colluded with pirates and attempted to overthrow the royal family. I declare: you will be stripped of your duke title and sentenced to death!"
"That's ridiculous!" Richardo smiled coldly, "Tepruto, deal with him!"
"Hmph..." Tepruto adjusted his suit and turned into an afterimage, looking directly at Isabella III in the crowd.
The Kingdom Guards were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles. Although they could not keep up with Tepruto's speed, they still instinctively raised their crossbows and shot at the afterimage.
Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~
The crossbow shot out in vain, piercing the ceiling, walls, ground, and the shield that Richardo had already erected.
All the arrows fired by the Kingdom Guard were nimbly avoided by Tepruto.
"Protect Your Majesty quickly!"
There was no emotion on Araki's face, but his right arm was clenched and his legs were quietly stretched, ready to stop him at any time. Araki is confident that he can handle such an attack if he takes it seriously.
"Chong!"
Just before Araki decided to take action, Profic's long knife blocked Tepruto's dagger.
"Profic?" Tepruto's attack was blocked, but he showed no sign of anger. He took two steps back, "I heard some rumors about you..."
His eyes became particularly sharp, he looked at Profik up and down, and warned: "I advise you not to interfere in the affairs of the Kingdom of Vera!"
Profik also observed Tepruto, a great pirate with a bounty of over 300 million. Even at this time, he was still wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was well-dressed. If he didn't look carefully, he would have thought he was a gentleman. But if you look a little more carefully, you can see the murderous intent and madness unique to pirates in Tepruto's eyes.
And thanks to the assistance of the Haki of Wisdom and the Heart Fruit, Profic can also feel the "heart" of Tepruto - full of murderous intent and eager to fight, which seems to belong to the category of "real pirates".
"The bounty is 350 million, 'The Poison of Taranto', Tepruto." Profic also immediately reported the name of the other party. After all, this "Poison of Taranto" was mentioned some time ago. It was very popular on the sea, but in the past six months, it suddenly seemed to have disappeared.
There are many speculations that he has died somewhere in the sea - this is not uncommon. On the ever-changing great sea route, even a famous pirate can end up dead if he is not careful. The fate of the fish belly.
Now it seems that such speculation is obviously "biased". Not only is this "Poison of Taranto" not dead, but he is planning a big wave.
"Take your head off, and those old guys will probably be satisfied." Profic said something that puzzled everyone present except for the Dawn members.
Originally, Profic only wanted to quell the civil strife in Vera as the last bargaining chip to become the "Shichibukai", but now it seems that if he can defeat Tepruto and "dedicate" it to the Five Old Stars, Profic will Ke's plan undoubtedly has a little more chance of success.
From this perspective, he should be "happy" with Tepruto's appearance. The premise is that Profik can defeat the opponent.
"I'm afraid you don't have a chance to get my head, right?" Although he couldn't understand what exactly Profic had planned, Tepruto could hear the words "get your head" clearly. Chu.
Profic's attitude made Tepruto very angry - he was just a "newcomer". Even if he did have some skills, where did he have the courage to disrespect him?
"Follow me!" As Tepruto took the lead in charging, his pirates screamed and rushed forward.
"Araki, you take the guards to protect Her Majesty Isabella and Princess Alice to a safe place, leave it to us!" Profic blocked Tepruto's dagger and quickly made arrangements. Isabella and Far from being of help here, Alice would actually distract him and his friends. What's more, if the king of Vera dies, how can he use this "merit" to obtain the position of Shichibukai?
"it is good!"
Isabella III, Araki and Alice all immediately agreed to Profic's suggestion.
"You guys are getting in the way," Tepruto said as he passed Profic's shot and used his left arm to support the opponent's side kick. "Get out of here, too!"
The targets of his orders were Richard and his group.
As the King's Guards escorted Isabella III away, Richard and his group reluctantly retreated from the other side. This battlefield was officially handed over to Tepruto and its affiliated pirate group, and Dawn.
