Hogg and the others had no idea about the actions of the navy and the World Government. At this moment, Hogg was still strolling on the streets.
"Captain, I finally found you!"
"Roger's Pirates are also here. They're probably after the treasure!”
"What?! The Roger Pirates were also here to search for treasure?”
"That's right, Captain. Let's go back quickly!”
"Lads, let's go quickly. We have to find the treasure before the Roger Pirates!”
Then, the group of people left in a hurry and ran towards the port.
......
Hogg had already experienced such scenes and conversations several times when he was strolling on the streets. However, some of them were preparing to escape, while others were searching for treasure in advance.
Hogg couldn't deny this. As for whether or not there really was a treasure, he still didn't know. If they really found it, he could definitely take it.
After strolling around for a while, Hogg began to feel bored. This country was completely different from the big countries in his previous life. Calling it a country was an exaggeration. At most, it was just a city with a large population.
He let go of his domineering aura and began to look for Roger and the others in the city.
Ten minutes later, Hogg arrived at a bar called " Big Drunkard." From the outside, the bar looked quite big. He sensed Roger and Riley's auras in the bar.
Hogg pushed open the door of the bar and walked in. He saw Roger and the others in a relatively remote part of the bar. The people around them were sitting far away from them, lowering their heads from time to time to discuss.
"Roger, you've made it easy for me to find you!”Hogg said as he walked towards Roger and the others.
"Hahaha! Hogg, you're here too! Come and drink!”Roger smiled when he saw Hogg walking over.
"That's right. Let's have a drink together. The wine here is not bad. It's not inferior to the fruit wine you brewed!”Riley also raised his glass and smiled.
"Is that so? Then I'll have a good taste!”
Hogg said with a raised eyebrow. Then, he sat down beside Roger and the others, picked up a glass of wine that had just been filled, and began to taste it.
When the people in the bar saw the young man walking towards Roger and the others, they lowered their heads and discussed with each other. They glanced in Roger's direction from time to time.
"There was a group of people who came to look for Roger and the others before, but they seemed to be the King's personal guards.”
"I don't know, but that guy looks so young!”
"That's right! However, he looked like a big shot!”
"Amazing, you've become a big shot who can chat happily with Roger and the others at such a young age!”
......
"Ha, the taste of this wine is not bad, but it's still a little worse than the one I brewed!”Hogg wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand and said expressionlessly.
"Riley, I knew Hogg would say that! Roger looked at Riley and laughed.
"Alright then! It seemed that little brother Hogg was just as the captain had said.”Riley shrugged helplessly.
After listening to their conversation, Hogg instantly guessed the whole story, but he still asked with a puzzled expression," What do you mean by Roger and I said the same thing?”
"Haha, it's nothing. However, Hogg, you seem even more domineering after changing your attire!”Roger said as he looked at Hogg.
"Looks like you have good taste, Roger!”Hogg narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he spoke. After saying that, he started drinking again.
"Oh right, Hogg, the king of this country sent someone to invite us to a banquet. Riley, Jabba, and I have already agreed to go. We were just worrying about how to inform you. Now that you're here, do you want to come with us?”
Hearing Roger's words, Hogg immediately put down his wine glass and thought for a while.
"The king's banquet? I haven't had a meal with the king yet. Maybe there will be a lot of delicious food and wine at the banquet. I'll take advantage of you guys this time. Hahaha!"
As he spoke, Hogg began to laugh.
"Hahaha, I believe you will become famous very soon, Hogg!”The nearby Jabba looked at Hogg and laughed.
"I'm guessing that the king wants to know why we're here.”Raley, who was drinking, revealed the king's true purpose with a smile.
"It doesn't matter! No one can stop us anyway, right? Riley." Roger's expression was casual, and his tone carried a hint of dominance.
Riley didn't answer Roger's question. He just smiled and drank his glass.
Just like that, the few of them chatted and drank.
......
When it was almost dark, a group of soldiers walked into the bar and walked straight to Roger and the others.
" Sir Roger, His Majesty has prepared a banquet for you," the captain said to Roger.
"Hahaha, I've waited for so long. I can finally attend the banquet. Raley, Jabba, Hogg, let's go!”Roger smiled.
"Soldier, lead the way."
"I'm sorry for making you wait. Please follow me now.”
Hearing that Roger and the others weren't angry, the captain heaved a sigh of relief and immediately led the way. When the bar owner saw that Roger and the others had left without paying, he was only angry but did not dare to say anything. Fortunately, the soldiers behind paid the money, and his mood improved a little.
Ten minutes later, under the lead of the soldiers, Roger and the others arrived at a magnificent palace.
"Your Majesty, Captain Roger and the others are here!”the soldier reported.
Immediately, the King went out to welcome them. After all, he did not want Roger and the others to be angry because of the lack of hospitality. If they caused a scene in this country, it would really be a disaster, and it would also go against the original intention of his banquet.
"Captain Roger, welcome. I have specially prepared a banquet to entertain you.”
"Hahaha, thank you for your invitation, Your Majesty.”
"Please follow me. The banquet has been arranged.”
There was a long table in the palace with a dazzling array of dishes on it. Every seat was equipped with silver cutlery and a few bottles of fine wine.
After a while, everyone was seated.
At the banquet, Hogg drank wine and tasted the delicacies while listening to Roger and the king chat. His impression of Roger had changed greatly. Although he was usually bold and boorish, and occasionally funny, he was now serious and talkative, even though he only said some useless things.
Seeing that everyone was almost done eating and drinking, the King immediately revealed the true purpose of the banquet." Roger, can you tell me the purpose of your visit?”
Roger put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the king." As for the purpose, I was originally prepared to come here for supplies, but after hearing some interesting rumors, I intend to find out!”
Although he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, the king still felt helpless after hearing Roger's answer.
He thought for a moment and said to Roger," I won't stop you, and I can't stop you. As the king, I don't know much about that treasure. I just hope that you can leave this place as soon as possible.”
"Hahaha, is that so? Then we'll have to thank His Majesty for the banquet. We'll go and take a look tonight.”
Roger stood up and prepared to return to the ship. Hogg and the others also stood up and followed Roger out.
Seeing the few of them walk out, the captain beside the king immediately said angrily,"Your Majesty, they-"
"Forget it, let them be. I just hope that tonight's battle won't affect this country!”The king waved his hand and interrupted the captain.
