One Piece: Roar of Justice

Strictly speaking, the Kingdom of Balegon is a political country based on the Holy See. All nobles and officials have the same beliefs, but the same beliefs do not mean that their demands are the same. However, the Kingdom of Balegon is not a real iron bucket, or the so-called iron bucket country can only exist in imagination.

Inside St. Peter's Wall, in the manor of the old nobleman in St. Peter's Wall, who is also in charge of the country's Bishop Storovs, the meeting room is dimly lit because the curtains are drawn, whether it is the housekeeper or the servant They were all kicked out of the room, and the people sitting in this meeting room at this time were all nobles who were closer to Bishop Storovs.

In addition, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all dissatisfied with Bishop Kakulista's actions, including Earl Norton, and the nobleman named Cullens, who are also listed .

Do you still remember the newly established police department that Kakulista proposed to Alexander III before? To put it bluntly, this is a secret service department. However, in the hands of people like Kakulista, it will inevitably be used to attack dissidents and eradicate competitors. In fact, when Kakulista first proposed this opinion to Alexander III, he held this purpose.

Yard is doing well, at least from Kakulista's side, and he and the new police department he runs are now a total mad dog, Kakulista He couldn't be tied up, and he didn't want to be tied down to this mad dog who would bite anyone. He took advantage of Alexander III's importance and trust in him, and he had already brought down several nobles, even including others who could faintly wrestle with him. A cardinal.

However, in the eyes of Alexander III, such an obvious thing has become the dedication of Kakulista and Yard, which is ridiculous, right?

The result of this kind of thing is that everyone sitting here is in danger. The former Kakulista was just a snake in the wall of St. Innocent, even though Kakulista was in St. Nuo Sen's words in the wall are true, but in their eyes, he is not a threat at all, but in the past two years, he has risen too fast. Although he is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, he has already possessed the ability to turn black and white. Created a huge threat to them, as well as a sense of insecurity.

"To bring down Kakulista, you must first get rid of his two key figures, Yard from the police department, and William from the militia team he promoted."

A nobleman said in a deep voice that he was also one of the victims after the Ripper Pirates imposed a sea ban.

Someone made an opinion, and someone raised an objection. As soon as the nobleman said something, someone stood up and said it.

"How to get rid of them? We have been suppressing them for a whole year in conjunction with Bishop Storovs, otherwise William would have been eligible to participate in the daily hall meeting, so what else?"

"Maybe, we can eliminate them physically."

A nobleman said sullenly, his appearance is very obscene, coupled with his ugly smile, giving people a treacherous feeling, obviously, he has already moved to kill.

Upon hearing his words, Earl Norton said immediately.

"Forget it, I've contacted the Silver Snake Pirates outside to drive them away, but in the end, just one of William's followers defeated them. Besides, Isuzak didn't Was it also a happy defeat in the hands of that person named Zebra?"

Earl Norton was frightened by Zebra and the others, and even had a psychological shadow, so he interrupted the gloomy guy directly and said.

"Isn't it enough to poison them? Even if they are very strong, they will not be invulnerable to all poisons, right? We can only deal with them. Isn't that old guy Kakulista easy to deal with?"

Hearing Earl Norton's words, the gloomy nobleman said gloomyly again that he didn't want to give up his plan.

"Except for Yard, William's subordinates are just a bunch of lowly born reckless men. As long as William is removed, our status as nobles is enough to deter them, and giving them some small favors is enough to win them over to us. I don't believe that there is no second subordinate of that country bumpkin named William who wants to become a nobleman. We can make a condition for him, as long as William is successfully eliminated, he will take his place. , we can also take over William's forces, so Kakulista is equivalent to losing a general."

Storovs, who had been sitting at the main table, squinting his eyes and resting his eyes, finally reacted when he heard this. He coughed heavily, and tapped on the armrest of the chair with one hand. Open your mouth and say.

"It can be used as a backup plan, but the first option now is to try to see if we can draw them into our camp."

"How to win over? Lord Storovs, don't forget that you have also tripped them up."

"Yes, and they were all single-handedly promoted by Kakulista."

As soon as Storovs finished speaking, two people objected.

But Storovs looked like an old god, tapping his fingers on the armrest regularly, and said.

"The so-called enemies and friends are only temporary, only interests, this kind of things that can be held in your hands, are eternal. They are all a group of despicable villains. They only have interests in their eyes, and they will not have any loyalty. To put it bluntly, they are now motivated by profit to join Kakulista. As long as we can let them know that we can give them much more than Kakulista can give them, we are not afraid that they will not be tempted. "

"Forget about that guy, Yard. I tried to win him over, but he won't get in."

Hearing what Storovs said, a nobleman said that apparently he tried to win over Yard, but failed.

"Then try to win over William. Without his assistance, neither Kakulista nor Yard will have reliable people to use."

Storovs thought for a moment, then continued.

"I know a little bit about William. Although he is from Kakulista, he is very slick. It can be regarded as his dedication to assist Durant, the sheriff in the wall of St. Innocent, in managing law and order. The important thing is that he doesn't offend other nobles, which is different from that Yard, who doesn't sell anyone's face, from this point of view, there should be a possibility to win him over."

"hope so."

Hearing what Storovs said, the people around nodded and said, but their brows were still intertwined. Obviously, they did not have much confidence in this possibility.

"I agree, but I still prefer my method. If this doesn't work, I can only find a way to poison him."

The gloomy nobleman at the beginning also nodded, but obviously he didn't intend to give up his method yet.

"We gave him a chance. If he doesn't cherish it and is still stubborn, he can't blame us."

A gleam flashed in Storovs' aged cloudy eyes, and he said in a deep voice, grabbing the armrest of the chair fiercely with one hand.

While the nobles in the conference room were discussing how to concoct Kakulista, William and others, there was a sudden soft sound outside the door, like the sound of a teapot colliding with a teacup. Hearing this sound, The voice in the meeting room disappeared immediately, and Storovs also frowned, looked towards the door, and said in a deep voice.

"Who? Come in."

As soon as Storovs's voice fell to the ground, Karens, who was very discerning, immediately walked to the door and opened the door, revealing a man holding a tea tray in one hand and holding the other hand in mid-air, as if hesitating to Don't knock the maid.

"Scarlett?"

Seeing the person outside the door, Storovs frowned and thought for a while, finally remembering the name of the new maid.

"Didn't I say no one should come near here?"

The maid named Scarlet lowered her head and said timidly.

"Mr. Butler said, my lords are in a meeting. I counted the time. The tea should be gone, so I came here to change the tea."

"It's not for you, you go down."

Hearing Scarlett's words, Storovs didn't think too much, and waved Scarlett away impatiently.

Scarlett bowed cautiously, closed the door and hurriedly left. The nobles in the conference room saw that the door was closed again, and others began to discuss the follow-up plan, but compared with just now, the voice was louder. Much smaller.

On the other side, Scarlett, who had left the meeting room, came to the kitchen with the tea tray in her hands. After placing the tea tray on the table, she suddenly covered her belly with her hands, frowned, and let out a soft cry of pain.

Seeing Scarlett like this, other people in the kitchen immediately noticed her and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm a little uncomfortable."

Scarlett said deliberately vaguely.

Two of the maids looked at each other and persuaded.

"Then go and rest for a while. If the butler has any work to do, we will help you deal with it."

Scarlett kept thanking her weakly, and left the kitchen slowly. After there was no one around, she returned to normal, and walked out of the manor quickly.

Scarlett was originally an ordinary resident of an outlying town, but she could be considered a very poor one. Both her parents died, and she had to support her younger brother. , good-looking young women are likely to embark on a dirty road, but Zebra changed her life, which should have been very miserable. She first found a job in the orphanage built by William, and was sent to St. Peter Working as a maid in Storovs' manor inside the wall, she receives a huge commission every month. Although it is not very beautiful, it is much better than her original life trajectory.

Her younger brother is also studying in the school built by Zebra, and she has also found a satisfactory job. This makes her extremely grateful to Zebra and the others who have brought her all this. Of course, William is on the bright side. .

Of course, Scarlett is not a spy. One year is not enough for Zebra and the others to cultivate professional intelligence personnel from scratch. Strictly speaking, Scarlett is more like a spy or an informant. , so when she overheard the conversation of a group of nobles, especially when she was about to poison and kill William, she made a movement in panic, and then she couldn't wait to pass the news out, so that her family's benefactor , that is to say, William should be vigilant and not be plotted by such a villain.

In fact, there are many people like Scarlett, not only in Storovs' manor, but also in Kakulista's manor, not to mention the homes of other nobles, large and small. They don't think about it, and they don't think about it. These little people who usually don't take a look at them can sometimes play a huge role.

The news from Scarlett went through several twists and turns, and was turned into a piece of letter paper, which was sent to William's home far away inside the walls of St. Innocent.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zebra smiled, shook the letter paper in his hand, threw it to William, and said with a smile.

"You know this time, what's the point of what I asked you to do."

After reading the contents of the letter, William looked at Zebra in disbelief and asked.

"This is from the servants of the Storovs family?"

"That's right, that servant was originally from an outlying town, and he received your favor. In order to repay the favor, I will remind you."

Zebra raised his eyebrows and said.

"Okay, I figured it out, this is your brilliance."

William shrugged and said as if admitting defeat.

"This is the human heart, William. We will push you to that high position in the future. You have to learn these things slowly, haha."

Zebra pretended to be profound and teased William and said.

And William squinted, looked at Zebra and said.

"You are younger than me, don't always talk to me in such a preaching tone."

"Okay, okay, then I'll take care of your poor self-esteem, haha!"

"cut!"

William ignored Zebra and looked at the letter in his hand again, bit his lower lip, and said.

"They are going to jump over the wall in a hurry."

"A bunch of overrated guys."

William said with some disdain, but when he heard William's words, Zebra's mouth evoked a smile.

Seeing Zebra's expression, William looked at him strangely and asked.

"Hey, Zebra, people are going to poison you, can you still laugh?"

"Hey, figure it out, you are the one they want to poison to kill, I'm just a servant, it has nothing to do with me?"

Zebra quickly waved his hand and said.

"Then you are here to watch me wait to die?"

William was a little annoyed and said angrily.

"Of course not. To be honest, I'm like leading a team of people directly into the palace to kill that stupid Alexander III and those nobles who are dictating us, but we can't do this, otherwise our previous arrangement But it will all be in vain, and it will attract the attention of the navy, and even the world government, since they have already taken the bait, they will be eaten by us sooner or later, so why rush?"

Zebra smiled and said, poured himself a glass of wine with a calm face, and said.

"What are your thoughts?"

Zebra looked at William again and asked.

And William snorted coldly, threw the letter on the ground, poured himself a glass, and said.

"How else can I look at it? Just look at it like this, and watch these overreaching guys slowly being played to death by you."

"However, I still admire their courage. Such an important matter has been spread so easily. I don't know where they have the confidence to kill Lafitte and they will not retaliate."

"Is it only Lafitte? In your eyes, I die like this?"

Zebra looked at William suspiciously and asked.

And William immediately shook his head and said.

"of course not."

"I might ask Stolter to buy me a bundle of fireworks to put in the yard overnight lol."

"Haha, if you do this, after Lafitte kills those idiots, the first target will be you."

Zebra raised his glass to William and said as a gesture.

William, on the other hand, glanced at Zebra disapprovingly, and said.

"Don't forget, Zebra, I brought Lafitte here. He is a smart guy, hehe."

"Oh? I have long felt that the relationship between the two of you is impure."

"Pfft! Don't come here!"

Hearing Zebra's moving words, coupled with Zebra's smirk, William spit out a sip of wine and said.

He finally realized that he couldn't talk about Zebra, so he directly changed the subject and said.

"Have you thought about what to do? The two groups of them are already fighting. Are we going to stand still and reap the benefits?"

"That's right, the conflict between the two groups of nobles is already heating up, and it's about to surface. Why should we show up? Isn't it better to let them bite dogs? As long as we stay out of the matter, even if we don't do anything, we can make more progress." Good up for grabs."

"So, are you planning to accept their wooing?"

William asked.

And Zebra nodded first, then shook his head and said.

"Yes, and no, at least not now, we just need to play disappear."

"But you can't do nothing. Now the two groups of nobles headed by Storovs and Kakulista are tense to the extreme, and the conflict has intensified to the whole country. Only the naive Alexander III still doesn't know Yes, but it’s not a solution for them to remain frozen like this, we can only light a fire between them.”

"Only in this way, the two old dogs, Storovs and Kakulista, will abandon their faces and bite each other to death."

Zebra took a sip of his wine and pursed his lips.

"What are you going to do?"

William asked.

"Didn't they want to give you a blow? They want to poison you, but now they just think, what if they really do it?"

Zebra smiled mysteriously at William and said.

"They dealt with you also to deal with Kakulista standing behind you. We can help them. Think about it, what would happen if Kakulista was poisoned?"

"At that time, who do you think Kakulista will think is the one who killed him?"

"It must be the Storovs group, but you plan to poison Kakulista directly like this? It's too cheap for him, this is not your style."

William looked at Zebra suspiciously and asked.

But Zebra smiled again and said.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to take him so cheaply. If I wanted to kill him, I would have had countless chances a year ago. Wouldn't it be better to let him live in peace until now? William, you have to remember, we His current identity is very sensitive. Disguising Kakulista as a victim of political struggle is the best choice. We don’t need to poison him, just scaring him half to death is enough. With his ingenuity, he We will think in the direction we want by ourselves.”

"Do you think that this honorable cardinal, knowing that the situation is going to be poisoned to the point where he is going to be poisoned, will honestly admit that he is afraid? Or will he be furious and fight with Storovs and the others?"

Hearing Zebra's question, William pouted and shook his head, saying.

"I don't know, but I'm sure, he definitely can't do what you are doing now, knowing that he will be poisoned by someone, and still laugh so calmly."

"Hey, let me repeat, the person they want to poison is not me, but you."

Zebra held out a finger and said.

"I know why you pushed me up, do you just use me as your shield?"

William squinted his eyes, looked at Zebra with contempt, and said.

"If it were me, I would definitely find the person who dared to poison me and kill him."

Zebra smiled with satisfaction and said with certainty.

"Kakulista will definitely make the same decision as you. Kakulista is not a person who retreats so easily, otherwise he would not have the status he is today."

"He will definitely be afraid, but he will also be angry, and then try his best to find out the person who poisoned him. He is not a magnanimous person, but he is a villain who is 100% vengeful."

After finishing speaking, Zebra put the wine glass in his hand on the table, straightened his clothes, and said to William.

"Okay, that's all for now. I have to go back and discuss it with Lafitte. You can drink the bar here by yourself."

"go Go."

William waved at Zebra impatiently, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and saw a sympathetic smile on William's face reflected in the wine glass.

"Unlucky fellow Kakulista."
