Childhood Anime Grand Tour

Chapter 127 Liu Yufei has been captured again.

"Alright, there's no use being discouraged. Let's go see the captain! Oh! And Ralstelle, she must be really worried right now!"

After Liu Yufei finished speaking, he walked forward, not knowing where he was going. His right eye had also turned into a mechanical form. It was alright, at least he didn't have to carry a camera like before.

As his eyes scanned the surrounding ruins, Liu Yufei took pictures of them. He felt no remorse for causing all of this; in fact, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes.

There was no one on the street. Because of the alarm, the residents who hadn't been captured had all hidden underground. Now that the alarm had stopped, a little boy peeked out from the alleyway.

But upon seeing Liu Yufei, the little boy instinctively shrank back and ran quickly into the distance. Liu Yufei naturally followed immediately, and the boy ran even faster when he saw Liu Yufei catching up!

"Hey! Don't run away..."

Liu Yufei tried his best to keep a warm expression, but as a child who had experienced war, he still had basic vigilance. In fact, if Liu Yufei really chased after him, he wouldn't be able to escape. The reason he followed him was to find out where the kid was going!

Liu Yufei could tell from his eyes that the kid wasn't carrying anything and definitely wasn't out looking for food.

Sure enough, after Liu Yufei turned a corner, he saw the little boy stop, and two rifles were already pointed at Liu Yufei's head on either side.

"Don't move!!"

Liu Yufei was overjoyed! He'd fallen into an ambush! Luckily, his clothes didn't look like a soldier's, otherwise the two guys next to him would have already opened fire!

Liu Yufei wisely raised his hands and pleaded for mercy:

"Brothers, the war is over. Dorumechia has been defeated. Didn't you hear the broadcast just now?"

"Behave yourself..."

The man didn't stop what Liu Yufei said. After confirming that no weapon was found on him, the older brother next to him said:

"You're from Laputa, aren't you?!"

Liu Yufei was stunned. How did he figure that out? The man didn't offer an explanation, but instead pointed the gun at him and said:

"Tell me, isn't that right?"

"Hehe, brother, you certainly have a discerning eye! But now we in Laputa and your Pejite have become friends, and your princess has returned!!"

"Boss, this guy's been following us the whole time, he's definitely a royal spy. Shoot him dead!!"

"Hey kid, I don't think I've offended you!"

This kid looked to be only seven or eight years old, but he was the first to think about killing Liu Yufei. However, Liu Yufei knew that it wasn't because the kid was so bad, but because he was born in a chaotic world and had no other choice.

They also wished their childhood had been filled with books and music, but unfortunately, they had to pick up guns at the age when they should be holding pens.

"The royal family, you are an underground resistance organization!"

Liu Yufei immediately understood; these people were the native inhabitants of Peijite, which was why they could recognize Liu Yufei as an outsider at a glance.

The two men found Liu Yufei increasingly strange, as he appeared too calm and even had a nonchalant air about him. One of them couldn't stand it any longer.

"Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes!!"

Liu Yufei was stunned! What the hell are you trying to do? Fortunately, this guy didn't loosen his belt, but instead took a liking to Liu Yufei's outfit. After all, they had been hiding underground for a long time, and all three of them were now spoiled.

Thus, Liu Yufei, the invincible ruler of Laputa, a Devil Fruit user, has been captured once again! (Why "once again"?)

Lasdel's voice still echoed through the city on the radio, and Laputa's mechs were rapidly clearing the ruins. Some disaster victims noticed the commotion outside and cautiously peeked out. Seeing that there were indeed no patrolling soldiers on the streets, they were overjoyed, thinking that the war was finally over.

"Princess Rasdel, have you finally returned?"

Unlike Nausicaä, Rasdel had little prestige among the common people; only a few knew of the princess, and even then, only a few came out.

Lasdale was helpless, but Sivir knew and immediately began distributing food. This brought out all the people who had been hiding, and together with the captured Pegets, there were tens of thousands of people in the city in no time.

"These beasts in the royal family are as troublesome as ghosts!"

"My lord, they've already started distributing rations, and the men below..."

"What? Are all these people idiots? Have they forgotten what the royal family did before?"

“Count, you can’t see it that way! The brothers are unwilling to be oppressed by those beasts any longer, and they all came back after receiving their grain!!”

"Oh! I see! Hehehe, as expected, as long as the brothers are united, we couldn't do anything about the royal family before, and we can't do anything about them now either. It's just a pity that Laputa actually used a girl as a shield."

The speaker was the leader of the resistance. Pejite was not a large force to begin with, so he only had a few thousand men under his command. They had been hiding underground, barely surviving. But how should I put it?

They used the banner of overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming, but once the Qing were actually overthrown, these same people started opposing the Ming again.

Of course, this man called Earl was a former member of the Pejite organization. After organizing the resistance, he promoted himself to Earl, which shows his true nature.

"My lord, we've also captured a Laputa prisoner!"

"Laputa, that name sounds familiar. Are you sure? Then bring him in!"

Liu Yufei was immediately tied up and taken to the basement. When the blindfold was removed from his face, two strangers appeared in front of him: a resolute man who, judging from his physique, was definitely trained, and a man who looked like an old man.

Judging from their positions, Liu Yufei knew the two were not father and son, because the old man deliberately made way for him, and before the man could speak, Liu Yufei spoke.

"Is this how you Petit people treat your guests?"

The count was surprised to find no sign of panic in Liu Yufei, which piqued his interest. He immediately pressed Liu Yufei with his eyes and said:

"who are you?"

Who Liu Yufei is is not important; what matters is who he represents. Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei immediately said:

"I am an envoy of Laputa, here to meet with you on behalf of Laputa!!"

As he spoke, Liu Yufei even performed a noble gesture, but unfortunately his hands were bound, making it look rather awkward! Liu Yufei's words also made it clear that he represented Laputa, not some lowly lackey being represented!

"Laputa?"

"Yes, we were invited by your princess to come here specifically to save the people of Peijite from their suffering!"

"Shut up, you beasts! You still have the nerve to say you're doing this for the people? I'll fucking..."

This guy actually drew his sword and was about to kill Liu Yufei. Just as Liu Yufei was about to use his ability to protect himself, the skinny old man next to him suddenly pulled the man back and whispered something in his ear. Only then did the man's expression calm down.

"How many people are there in Laputa?"

Liu Yufei was speechless. Why didn't they just ask for intelligence? But then Liu Yufei faced a dilemma: how many people? It was just one person! And they captured him alive!!

Judging from Liu Yufei's awkward expression, there are only two possibilities: either Liu Yufei doesn't want to talk about it, or Liu Yufei doesn't know.

The count favored the latter, believing Liu Yufei to be just a lowly soldier, and then angrily said:

"I don't care who you are, go back and tell your leader that this is an internal dispute in Peijite, and even King Wu has no right to interfere!!"

Seeing that Liu Yufei really thought he was a novice, he immediately laughed and said:

"My lord, now that King Wu's power is waning, the Tu Gui Kingdom is about to attack. Our long-cherished wish in Laputa is to unite with Peijit to jointly fight against this crisis. As for the conditions, we can discuss them slowly."

As he spoke, Liu Yufei glanced at the old strategist beside him out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, the old man frowned slightly. Before the man could speak, the old man immediately said:

"Can you really represent Laputa?"

Laputa's ability to defeat Torumekia with such speed and efficiency was something they never expected. In the blink of an eye, the flags on the city walls had changed, which demonstrated Laputa's strength.

Before Liu Yufei could speak, the man next to him said urgently:

"gentlemen..."

"Sir, please be patient!!"

The count was anxious, but the old man remained calm, while Liu Yufei found the scene somewhat comical! Yes! To Liu Yufei, it was indeed comical, especially the old man in front of him.

To become the second-in-command of the resistance, this old man must have some talent. But what about so-called intellectuals? They all harbor illusions about the ruling class, and these are the people who deserve to be killed. These intellectuals are good at spouting grand theories, but when it comes to doing practical work, they are all utterly incompetent.

Clearly, while the old man might not excel at much else, he was adept at understanding the thoughts of those in power. With just a few words, the count's emotions were calmed down again. The two quickly reached an agreement.

"We can put aside our prejudices with Her Highness and work together to deal with the Earth Demon Kingdom, but..."

"Just tell me what you want, whether you need gunboats or warships!!"

The two were surprised by Liu Yufei's arrogant tone. "Are you out of your mind trying to get away?! Gunboats and warships, my foot!"

"We need food, lots of food!!"

This time, it was the Earl who spoke first. Liu Yufei realized that this kid was no outstanding person and could not be a ruler. This guy was too kind-hearted. At this moment, he was still thinking about food. It seems that these people have indeed been having a very bad time.

"Okay, let me leave now, the food will arrive immediately!!"

Upon hearing Liu Yufei's words, the two looked at him as if he were an idiot! Their earlier enthusiasm instantly cooled; this kid was probably just spouting nonsense to get away with it!

The old man wanted to object, but the count simply raised his hand and said:

"Okay, you can leave now!! I'll send someone to escort you out!"

Liu Yufei didn't expect this guy to be so decisive. He thought to himself, "How did this stupid guy become the leader?"

Before Liu Yufei could even speak, a black burlap sack was put over his body.

Upon seeing Liu Yufei being carried out, the Earl immediately said:

"Pass the word down, evacuate immediately!!"
