Chapter 44 Trouble? Part 1

Early the next morning, the Marines were stationed in the area.

Rowen chewed food and his body flashed, and he didn’t stop exercising even while eating.

Kuang Dang…

Another big pot of sea beast meat was eaten up by him, and after throwing away the rice bowl, Rowen burped comfortably while leaning against the chair to pick his teeth.

The sun outside the window shined through the mottled green vines, and the head chef who was arranged by the Queen to take charge of the catering was sweating, and carefully asked: “Mr. Rowen, are you full?”

This guy seems to have the same size as ordinary people, but their appetite is simply at a monster level!

Having been a chef in the palace for many years, he has seen many things, and even the most discerning guests appreciate his cooking. As a result, today, the chef began to doubts his life.

It turns out that in addition to the taste and atmosphere, there are also some diners who are picky about the portion!

Three people eat up food for twenty people!

They are all from the Marine Headquarters!

After eating, he even had to bring the breakfast he was waiting for the chef.

“Well… I won’t eat too much too early, it’s not easy to digest.”

What else can the chef say about this, he just smiled…

Mmp!

During the operation of thunder and lightning, his muscles are stimulated and fatigue is created which means that the food is quickly digested and absorbed, and the body is enriched. 

Feeling the swelling in his stomach dissipate, Rowen approached Garp, who was also picking his teeth, and asked in a low voice: “Vice-Admiral Garp, what do you think the afternoon tea party will be like…”

In the early morning, Queen Rosa sent a message to say that a tea party will be held in the palace garden this afternoon, and the Marines must be there by then.

The Queen is no ordinary person. Most of the people who can come to her birthday banquet are members who are Kings and Nobles and famous merchants who are in the Grand Line. 

These people are quite good and they cannot come together like this easily. The Queen Birthday Banquet is a good platform, so before the formal banquet, they will talk to each other and negotiate their interests. 

Therefore, Queen Rosa decided to hold a tea party this afternoon to let everyone talk about what should be discussed, which is also an unspoken rule.

But now Huadu West Island (Flower Capital) is involved in the sensitive event of the alternation of rights, and most of those people come to cheer for Fred. Only a small number of people who want to use this platform to talk about business don’t need to do so much to hold a tea party, they can solve it in private.

This, there must be some purpose!

Ding!

Putting the toothpick into the clean dinner plate, Garp narrowed his eyes and looked out the window: “Whatever it is! You just have to remember that you are not a member of our Marine!”

Rowen was surprised before he smiled a second later: “Understood!”

…

The palace is very lively today and the attendants who come and go send snacks and tea to the garden to prepare for the tea party.

But under the hustle and bustle, it is difficult to hide a hint of inexplicable tension.

Although Fred’s forcing the palace was only known to senior officials, the Jade General’s life and death were unknown. Huadu West Island (Flower Capital) was missing a pillar, which was also a great event. 

Those who know the whole story and know the purpose of Marines and the high-level people of various countries are even more frightened and afraid to speak loudly.

Rowen turned a blind eye to all this, or he simply didn’t care.

As he was about to follow Garp to the tea party location, an attendant approached the three of them and said after saluting, “Mr. Rowen, the Queen…”

Really?

Garp and Rowen looked at each other, then the former nodded and said, “You go to see the Queen first. We will be waiting for you in the garden.”

“Understood……”

After that, Rowen turned around into another corridor under the leadership of the attendant. Garp and Trane watched him walk away, then moved on.

…

The tea party was held in the depths of the palace, and the Marine station was far away, still, in the Summer Region climate the cool snow wind blows down from the mountains and the climate is pleasant inside the palace. By the time they arrived at the destination, it was already the temperature of late autumn.

This is also the reason why the Queen chose this place as the place for the tea party. Nobles are often good at details. Their clothing is thick and there are almost no T-shirts like the Marines. If it’s too hot, I’m afraid no one will be in the mood for snacks and afternoon tea.

“Damn it! You bitches! Don’t you know how hot the tea is?!”

Garp and Trane had just stepped into the garden along the corridor, and an unbearable yelling caught their attention. At the same time, there was also the crisp movement of the teacup falling to the ground, and the crisp sound of the palms on the face.

Snap!

Trane looked in the direction of the sound, and a fat ball-like man was holding his hand angrily with a grim expression on his face. On the grass in front of him, an ordinary maid covered her face and looked around in horror.

“Bitch! Bitch!”

The fat man in good cloth raised his hand and showed his bruised wrist. Obviously, it was he who had slapped someone, but it was also him who got his hand injured. The fat man saw the contemptuous look cast at him by the other Nobles and was furious and he began to kick the maid.

The maid was originally an ordinary person, how could she withstand the heavy kick of the three hundred jin fat man and she began to wail softly in just a few strokes.

“This asshole…”

Trane was also born as a commoner, and he also doesn’t like Noble’s ugly face. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and began to advance.

“Don’t get excited, Trane.”

Garp also looked sullen but tried to restrain his anger.

Trane knew the priorities and he took a deep breath and forced his anger down, he walked towards the side and sat down to drink tea.

Maybe he was tired from the fight. After a few hits, the fat man stopped his movements and turned back to sit in the chair. There was a servant waiting by his side holding a cup, watching him sit down, he quickly handed over the cold tea with a flattering expression on his face.

“Your Highness, take a sip of tea to calm your breath.”

“Hmm… you kid, you are quite smart.”
