The night in the Drum Kingdom seemed to be colder than the day. At this time, in the palace of the Drum Kingdom, Hades and his party were in the banquet hall, eating the sumptuous dinner that King Wang Ke had carefully prepared for Hades and his party.
In the banquet hall, other than Hades and his party, there was only King Wacker of the Drum Kingdom and his guard captain, the very young Niuniu Fruit ability user Dalton. The maids and attendants stood respectfully in the distance.
Hades sipped on his red wine as he looked around. He didn't see the one who would inherit the throne of the Drum Kingdom in the future, the cruel, muddle-headed, and arrogant Walbo. The old king was probably afraid that Walbo's arrogant personality would be too arrogant, infuriating Hades and the others, and then bringing disaster to the Drum Kingdom. Therefore, he temporarily looked at him.
As for the one who only appeared in the movie, the eldest son of the old king, Walbo's elder brother, Msuru, who had the ability of Fungus Fruit, Hades did not see him either. He was probably exiled to the Fire Country long ago.
"So, Lord Hades, you went through the trouble to come to our Drum Kingdom to recruit a group of outstanding doctors to your ship. I have to say, Lord Hades, you really have good taste. I'm not boasting, but our Drum Kingdom is a famous medical country on the entire sea. We have extremely superb medical skills and many excellent doctors. This time, you won't be disappointed!”King Wacker of the Drum Kingdom boasted after hearing Hades 'request.
"Hahaha, that's right. When we were in the East China Sea, we heard about the name of the Drum Kingdom's medical power, so we came with expectations!”Hades also smiled. He picked up a glass of red wine and took two sips as he continued to speak.
After Hades and King Wake exchanged a few more words of hypocritical business flattery, Hades continued,"King Wake, it's not easy for pirates like us to be captains. Since our brothers are willing to let you be the captain, we're handing over our lives to you. As captains, we naturally have to give our brothers some benefits, don't you think so?”
King Wake was a little wary after hearing Hades 'words, but he still nodded and said,"That's right, Lord Hades, you're right. Just like being a king, you have to think for your people!”
Hades also nodded and said,"It's good that you understand, King Wake. Therefore, we have a few presumptuous requests. The ship doctor lady on my ship isn't interested in anything else, except for some precious medical books. The Drum Kingdom is one of the top medical countries in the world, so the royal family must have a very complete collection of these precious medical books. If it's possible, I hope that you can open the treasure vault of the Drum Kingdom to us for a while. Let us copy some medical books.”
Hades 'words were unacceptable to King Wake, especially when he opened his kingdom's treasury to a pirate like Hades. Wasn't that like a beautiful little girl naked in a lecher's room? Wasn't this giving and taking?
Just as King Wake's expression turned ugly, and he wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to tactfully express it so as not to anger Hades, Hades spoke again.
"Of course, King Wake, you've been so polite to us, helped us so much, and even prepared a sumptuous banquet for us. We can't just stand there and do nothing. We, the Shadow Pirates, are very moral, unlike those low-level pirates who only know how to burn, kill, and pillage. If you're polite to us, we'll be polite to you.”Hades said to Ross as he wiped his mouth with a tissue.
When Ross heard Hades call his name, he reacted quickly. He took out the package he brought from the boat from the bag beside him and handed it to Hades.
As King Wake stared at him with a puzzled expression, Hades stood up from his seat and walked over to his side. This action made the captain of the guards, Dalton, who had been standing behind King Wake, nervous. He placed his hand on his weapon.
Hades walked over to King Wake and moved some of the plates on the table away. He then placed the package on the table covered with exquisite tablecloth and patted the old king's shoulder with a smile."This is the gift I prepared for you, King Wake. It's better to reveal the surprise myself!”
King Wake was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't hesitate. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He believed that Hades wouldn't use anything to trick him, and it wasn't a bloody head or some " special gift "!
As expected, after King Wake opened the bag, a dazzling light shone out from the bag. A large number of rare gems were piled up like the most inconspicuous stones on the street, and there was even a very bright and transparent diamond.
King Wake wasn't an idiot. He could tell that these precious gems were priceless. Even someone like him who had seen many treasures couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and his breathing become heavier.
These precious gemstones were obtained from the underground treasury of the Lys Kingdom when they were in the Eastern Sea.
Hades believed that pirates who only knew how to burn, kill, plunder, and bully civilians were only the lowest level of pirates. As a young man with ideals, aspirations, integrity, and kindness, Hades naturally would not lower his status and be like those low-level pirates.
If others respect me, I'll respect them. But if you don't want face, then don't blame me for being rude.
After Hades and his group landed on the island, the Drum King had set up a banquet and invited them respectfully. He was very polite to them. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Hades could not lower his status, so he took out some of the precious gems he had obtained after destroying the Lys Kingdom and gave them to the Drum King.
"Hahahaha! King Wake, you may not know this, but I am different from those ordinary pirates. I am a noble, so I am naturally the most righteous. These gemstones are also a token of my appreciation. If you agree to this, King Wake, consider it a gift from me to thank you for your help!”Hades stood behind the King of Wake, his hands casually pressing on his shoulders as he laughed.
Seeing Hades 'sincerity and respect, even if King Wake wanted to refuse, he didn't have the guts to do so. He had to lower his head. After all, if he dared to refuse now, it would be like slapping Hades in the face in public. Hades' hands on his shoulders would probably twist his head off in the next moment.
After thinking for a while, King Wake made a decision.
