LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 076
The second half of the Great Passage, the New World.
The Kingdom of Dressrosa is a tropical island with abundant rainfall and a resort atmosphere.
In addition to food, music and gladiator competitions, the island’s passionate personalities and their sexy and hot dancing are also world-famous.
Therefore, Dressrosa is also known as the “Land of Love and Passion”.
There is also a “leprechaun legend” in this country, if something is stolen for no reason, it is the work of the leprechaun, and people do not need to pursue the stolen thing, but should regard it as a strange tradition of luck.
In fact, the origin of the “goblin legend” is only the atonement made by the current royal family, the Riku family, in order to make up for the previous royal family in the past, the Don Quixote family, who enslaved the Tongtata family, which was known as the “little human race” for a hundred years.
800 years ago, the Don Quixote family left the kingdom of Dressrosa for the Holy Land of Marijoa, and after becoming Draco, they took over the kingdom’s Riku royal family, promising that “in their own country, the Tongta family will no longer have to work; Whatever is needed in life, take what you want”.
In this way, the king called the mysterious disappearance of supplies a “fairy prank” and hoped that the citizens would laugh it off.
In later generations, the citizens who slowly learned the truth of the so-called goblins also accepted the king’s agreement without exception and chose to silently protect this once poisoned race.
As a result, Dressrosa’s “goblin legend” gradually spread, and a peculiar tradition of “not pursuing the stolen thing, but considering it luck” was formed in the country.
On the other hand, because of the kindness of the Riku royal family, the kind Dong Tata family did not care about the past, and worked hard to transform the country into a land full of flowers and greenery, so that the island will always be full of the fragrance of flowers.
Gradually, these little “goblins” that people can’t see have become Dressrosa’s special “patron saints”.
However, due to the promise of the Riku royal family, the Kingdom of Dressrosa lost the industrious and cheap labor of the Tongtata family, and after the departure of the Don Quixote family, the country was much poorer than before.
And yet….
The Kingdom of Dressrosa is one of the allies of the world government, and in order to maintain the legitimate rights and status of the country, it has to pay a huge amount of heavenly gold every year, which makes the country have to impose heavy taxes.
Therefore, the people of this country are happy, but they are definitely not rich, and they can only be said to be above the subsistence line per capita.
The Kingdom of Dressrosa falls under the jurisdiction of the G5 branch of the Navy, but since this branch is a branch of the Navy dedicated to exiling and distributing problem naval soldiers to wait for retirement, this branch has always been much lower in terms of manpower than other G-headed branches.
Therefore, the maritime security situation in this sea area is not very good, and there are often pirates who rob passing ships.
After this sea area continues to go deeper, it is the area divided by the various sea pirate forces in the New World, Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Whitebeard, Wang Zhi… and other sea pirates, they divided the islands and countries of the New World into their spheres of influence.
Due to the special situation of the New World, most countries are ruled by the dual forces of pirates and world governments at the same time, while those countries that are not allies of world governments are under the rule of pirate forces.
In addition to the One Piece that Roger said before his death, there is also an important reason why the pirates rushed into the great channel, and even to build a kingdom in a chaotic new world.
What kind of will the prince Xiangning?
This is probably the mentality of the pirates of the New World, those nobles can be kings, why can’t they …?
Therefore, in the new world, in addition to plundering the materials of hostile forces, pirates also need to maintain the “security” of their own territory.
Among them, take the strongest white-bearded pirate group on the sea as an example, they will plunder the islands or ships that are not under their control, and those islands or countries that provide them are invaded by other pirate forces, in order to maintain the prestige of the pirate group, they must also retaliate against the forces that dare to offend them.
To some extent, this slightly absurd pirate rule has made those large pirate groups have left the category of pure pirates….
Even, they will have a contemptuous mentality for the first half of the Great Passage, those pirate groups who only burn, kill and loot in the paradise, but do not lay down their own territory, thinking that the other party is just playing the game of “pirates passing home”.
In Sephiroth’s view, the Four Emperors Pirates of the New World, although they are still pirates, already have the prototype of a “country” in form.
It’s just that this kind of “country” is based on the absolute strength of each of the four emperors’ strategic level.
Therefore, in the eyes of the five old stars, the Four Emperors Pirate Group is at most another form of country, and there are so many countries in this world, there are so many non-world government allies, and four more is not a big problem, and it does not threaten the rule of the Draco at all.
Therefore, it is good to ignore the Four Emperors Pirate Group and let them play slowly in the new world by themselves.
A hundred years later, those four emperors have turned into a pile of dry bones, and the world government is still standing.
Compared to the petty pirates, the revolutionary army established by Dorag is the biggest problem for the world government, they pursue freedom and equality, they want to overthrow the rule of the Draco, and they continue to spread this idea.
People die, but thoughts can be continued….
In order to erase the ideas of an ancient kingdom, the world government spent a hundred years, not hesitating to retrogress world civilization and implement a policy of ignorance, so that people gradually forgot the idea of pursuing freedom and equality….
To get back to the truth, because of poverty, after the Kingdom of Dressrosa paid a huge amount of heavenly gold and joined the world government, it can no longer afford to provide one more pirate force.
This makes their country often invaded by other pirate forces.
If it were not for the “benevolent government” of the Liku royal family, which was relatively simple, never extravagant and wasteful, and never collected excessive taxes, the country would have fallen into complete poverty and hunger…
This time, Zefa led the cadets to come to support, in order to eliminate a pirate alliance…
The east coast port of the Kingdom of Dressrosa is flanked by mushroom rocks.
A warship slowly entered from the surface of the sea and anchored on the shore.
Under the leadership of Zefa, a group of cadets quickly walked down the gangway and landed on the dock.
Not far away, the commander of the Dressrosa army, the three-meter-tall Cyrus, walked over with ten soldiers.
“Presumably, you are Your Excellency Admiral Zefa, right?
I am the commander of my country’s army, Cyrus, and I have come to greet you by the order of King Riku.
“Then trouble His Excellency Cyrus!”
A hearty smile appeared on Zefa’s face and he nodded towards the other party.
Led by Cyrus, the crowd walked on the straight King’s Road, through the central square, towards the royal palace.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at the main hall and saw King Riku, who was sitting on the throne in the prime of life and had black hair.
“Senior General Zefa, welcome to your arrival!”
King Riku freed up, stood up from his throne, and walked a few steps quickly, and with a happy expression, he shook hands with Zefa.
Although he is the monarch of a country, Zefa is one of the three admirals of the navy, and in terms of status, he is not lower than him.
“Hello! His Majesty King Riku.
Zefa also smiled and nodded.
King Riku glanced at the thirty cadets behind Zefa, and he tentatively asked
, “I don’t know, how many of you have come this time?”
“Together with the number of people left behind on the warship, we have a total of fifty-one people here this time.”
“Ah! This…”
Hearing this, King Riku’s face suddenly changed for a while, and his tone was full of worry:
“I already said when I sent a request for help to the Navy headquarters that there are more than three thousand pirate alliances who came to coerce us to return to Dressrosa…”
But you have only come fifty-one people, plus our Dressrosa’s king army of fifteen hundred, you are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength!
“Hahaha! Rest assured! King Liku, there are more than 3,000 pirates in the old man, and he can’t make any waves at all.
Moreover, each of these students behind the old man is a super elite in the military academy, and their strength is not weak, so you put your heart in your stomach!
Moreover, the G5 branch, in these two days, will also deploy a hundred people to support…”
Zefa laughed and slapped his chest “Bang!” Bang” rattling.
“But… All right! King
Liku looked a little embarrassed, but he could only give up in the end.
Four days ago, a group of pirates broke into the kingdom of Dressrosa, and they declared to King Riku that they wanted the entire kingdom to surrender to them and accept their rule from now on.
In this regard, King Liku naturally could not agree!
So he asked Cyrus to push the other back …
But when the other party left, he threatened that they were a pirate alliance composed of seven pirate supernovae, with more than 3,000 people.
At that time, they will surely return and attack Dressrosa, and if they do not surrender by then, they will draw the whole country into the flames.
After King Riku verified the other party’s pirate banner and the information in his words, he quickly applied to the Navy headquarters for help.
He wanted the naval headquarters to send a large number of navies to Dressrosa to support.
In this way, he could minimize casualties in the royal army and civilians in this war.
It seems that now it is only possible for Cyrus to take people to arrange defensive measures and emergency evacuation as much as possible….
After a few pleasantries with Zefa, King Riku sent people to the navies and arranged their own rooms in the palace.
