Pirate Commander

Chapter 44 FAKE NEWS
Great route, paradise, gourmet city.

Inside a certain "Yi Le Ramen" noodle restaurant.

"Brother, can you read the news in the newspaper for me?"

There were three big bowls of ramen in front of him, a tall, blind swordsman with a crew cut in a purple robe called his buddy.

There were two scars on his face across his eyes, shocking.

The ramen boy is in a dilemma: "That... this... my business?"

"Ah, the old man understands, the old man will compensate you."

Saying that, the blind swordsman ejected a gold coin.

The little brother bit the gold coin with his teeth, and was overjoyed to find that the gold coin was genuine.

"Let me give you a brief summary first, and then read it from the beginning. The general idea is that the world government ordered the navy to launch a demon-slaying order against a newly established country in the East China Sea..."

The blind swordsman asked, "New country? Kingdom or empire?"

In the world of pirates, there is still a difference between a kingdom and an empire.

Like Luffy’s hometown Goa Kingdom, or the desert country of Alabasta, they all belong to the kingdom and are jointly ruled by the noble class and the royal family. In many cases, the king even has to make concessions for the nobles.

The kingdoms ruled by one of the four emperors, BIG MOM Charlotte Lingling, belong to the empire. As the emperor, the aunt has the absolute first power.

"Neither, it seems to be called the People's Republic of the East China Sea..."

"This name is very interesting. Suck~"

The blind swordsman replied while eating noodles.

"Brother, tell me more about that country."

"I'm afraid not. There are too few descriptions in the newspapers. This is obviously not the focus of the news. The focus of the news is mainly on the analysis of the Demon Slaughter Order."

"Haha... Demon Slaughter Order... The World Government is really awe-inspiring!"

Judging from the attitude of this blind swordsman, it seems that he is extremely disgusted with the "Devil Slaughter Order".

"Mr. Yixiao, don't dare to talk nonsense. It will be dangerous if the CPs hear it." The ramen boy looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

"Brother, you heard me wrong, my name is Yisheng, not Yixiao."

"Uh... I'm so sorry, Mr. Yiyi."

"Keep reading. Suck~"

After destroying the three bowls of ramen in front of him in a row, the blind swordsman named Yisheng didn't seem to be satisfied, but he didn't plan to eat any more.

"gone."

"Go slowly, sir, and come back later."

Walking to the door, the blind swordsman stopped suddenly, "Brother, do you know which direction the East China Sea is in?"

"Uh... over there."

Pointing in a direction, he realized that the other party was a blind person. The ramen boy was about to catch up to explain in detail, but found that the other party had already walked out the door, leaving only one sentence.

"Thank you brother, I'll come back later."

……

East China Sea, Cocoa Island.

"Cheat... cheating, right?"

"Navy Headquarters is going to launch a general attack on us?"

The "World Economic News" has been sent to Cocoa Island in the East China Sea, but North did not prohibit it.

Newspapers described the Demon Slaughter Order as horrific, but in fact, the Demon Slaughter Order was indeed horrific.

Even the citizens, who have always been immersed in the joy of victory, can't help but feel fear in the face of this unknown and powerful enemy.

"Sir, please tell us, is this true?"

"No comment."

"Which of your family has a relative who is a soldier. Are you sure the news is true?"

"I don't know, I have been unable to contact them during this time."

Anxiety gradually spread in the hearts of the citizens. At this moment, how much they hoped that the consul would stand up and say, "Nothing, all of this is FAKE NEWS." Tell them that this is just a nightmare.

It's a pity that all this is just a meaningless fantasy after all.

"Look, it's the consul!!"

On the street, someone pointed to the large screen hanging on the building next to the street.

Cocoyasi Village and other villages also have the same large screens.Some entertainment programs can be played on weekdays, and news can be quickly delivered when it is critical.

At this moment, every citizen put down their work, gathered in the square, in the street or even on the roof of the building, and looked at the young and familiar figure on the screen.

"My dear citizens, hello, I am your chief executive officer, North."

"I think you should have seen all the news from the "World Economic News". I am sorry, but I have to inform you with a heavy heart and solemn attitude that everything is true."

"The world government will never die. They can't understand that there are no nobles in our land, and they can't understand that we live a good life without worrying about food and clothing. They just want to take all this away from us and let us We go back to the hard times of being exploited by pirates and oppressed by nobles."

"Where were the Royal Navy when the pirates burned, killed, and looted this land recklessly? Where was the so-called great world government when the compatriots of the past were shivering in the cold winter? Where are the powerful navies of the headquarters when the heroes who can't stand the pirates' rebellion came to attack the pirates but were buried in the sea?"

"They weren't there, they never were. But today, when things are getting better for us, they're here. They don't come to work with us with orders, and they don't come to celebrate with us with gifts. Instead, they Came with warships and artillery to destroy the peace and tranquility of this land and take away what we have now."

"My dear citizens, it's time to stand up and say no to them. We are not animals being ridden under the aristocrats of the world, let alone slaves trampled under their feet."

"My dear citizens, the motherland needs you, the people need you, and I need you too. You should roll up your sleeves and pick up tools to defend your motherland and this hard-won happy life with your own hands. No matter who it is, as long as he wants to To destroy our country and take everything we have, we should unite and drive them out of the country and back to their homes."

"Of course, you don't need to take up arms and rush to the front line without training. Everyone can make their own contribution to the motherland in their own posts. Go to the construction site, where the buildings are waiting for you to build; go to the factory, The guns there are waiting for your assembly."

"At this moment of life-and-death crisis where the country may be destroyed and the family may be destroyed, I need you to keep your spirits up. Starting today, the war factory will work at full power 24 hours a day, every shift of 12 hours, and continuously provide Soldiers on the front line produce weapons and supplies."

"Citizens, I believe in you, our country is a great country that can create miracles. We must unite and show the Royal Navy who is the real war machine!"

The image on the big screen was turned off, and North's voice also disappeared, but it seemed to linger in everyone's heart and could not dissipate for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, the citizens were boiling.

"Made, it's on fire! Where can I sign up?!"

"Even if I don't need a salary, I will contribute my own strength. Since the enemy dares to come, I must not let them be comfortable!"

"I trust the consul, he never let us down!"

"Look, what is that? A miracle?!"

The sonic boom pierced the sky, and two jet bombers, which no one had ever seen before, passed over the heads of the citizens, leaving a long white line and disappearing into the sky.
