One Piece: Roar of Justice

Going back a little bit in time, Durant, the sheriff in the St. Innocent's Wall, rushed to the scene of the crime, and passed the news back to the St. Innocent's Wall, and then to the Holy See, Alexander III In his ears, after all, Yixiu Zac is not those small fish and shrimps. As the captain of the guard, he is the celebrity in front of Alexander III. Such a big living person died like this. As a leader, Alexander III should care about it. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the impact caused by Yixiu Zac's death.

At this time, in the royal palace inside St. Peter's Wall, Alexander III was discussing with his bishops the murder case that was reported from inside St. Innocent's Wall and discovered this morning.

Contrary to what Zebra and the others expected, Isuzak's death was not reported overwhelmingly. Although Isuzak bears the title of 'the strongest warrior in the kingdom', he is still only the guard of a small country after all. That’s all for the captain, it’s not his turn to get news from the world government, not even a small page, not only the world government didn’t report it, even the newspaper of Balegon Kingdom’s own home didn’t publish this matter, after all The impact of this matter is very bad. Alexander III may be a little lazy, but he still knows some things that need to be considered as the pope. If this kind of news is published blindly, what awaits him may be the panic of the people. To cause more trouble, this is a very headache for Alexander III. Moreover, family ugliness cannot be publicized. If this matter spreads to other countries, Alexander III will not be regarded as a glorious political resume. It is necessary to add another black history.

So, as a matter of course, Yixiu Zac's death was suppressed like this.

The current meeting is not discussing how to bury Isuzak, but how to deal with this matter, minimize the impact, and what to do with this matter and similar events that may occur in the future method.

Not long after the Kingdom of Balegon opened the sea ban and raised the gate of St. Innocent's Wall, this kind of thing happened. It has to be said that this was a huge blow to Alexander III, who had no longevity. Before that, the nobles and the commoners lived in two worlds. The poor and dirty outlying towns were just a symbol to the nobles. Even if the commoners were desperate and chose to commit crimes, the targets were often people of the same class as them. It has nothing to do with the nobles living inside the walls.

But now, as a viscount and known as the 'kingdom's strongest warrior', Isuzak was beheaded in the outskirts of the town, and they realized that when the people in the common areas were desperate, these damned untouchables would die because of upbringing. And honor, you will not starve to death at home obediently, or commit suicide, it is more likely to commit a crime, or even commit a crime!

At that time, these people would not take into account how long the nobles had been inherited and how lofty their status was. When they were on the verge of crime, the order and laws that maintained the status and safety of the nobles had been forgotten by them.

In the beginning, those criminals were only confined to the outer towns, but now it seems that with the gradual deterioration of public security and living conditions, crimes have a tendency to spread inside the walls.

Regarding the occurrence of this kind of thing, some "sighted people" in the kingdom seem to have seen it a long time ago. When Alexander III proposed to open the gate of St. Innocent's Wall, he proposed it. The third vetoed it with one vote. It has to be said that the pope has great power and is self-willed. I thought it would pass like this. However, the death of Isuzak this time gave them another chance. They were vetoed by Alexander III before. The past bishops jumped out again.

"My lord pope, this incident is a lesson. As early as before, my lord pope, when you proposed to open the sea ban and open the gate of St. Innocent's Wall, the old minister felt that this kind of thing might happen. Those who live in The untouchables in the outlying towns are fundamentally different from us nobles who have been living inside the walls. They have no culture and honor in their minds. If they are really cornered, they will attack the nobles. Even Yixiu Zac, who is the strongest fighter in the kingdom, was not spared from the disaster, which shows the harm of those mobs, my lord pope, please take back your life!"

"Please take back your life!"

As if it had been negotiated, the cardinal who spoke just now played the role of a pathfinder. After he expressed his point of view, a large group of people below knelt down and echoed immediately.

This is tantamount to putting pressure on the Pope. Alexander III's face is very ugly at this time. Your parliament also passed this proposal at the beginning. After the sea ban is lifted, the benefits to the Kingdom of Balegon are still great. Although it is not long, but The resulting profits have already surprised Alexander III and the cardinals, but that was when nothing happened. Now, things have happened, and these cardinals plan to pin the blame on Alexander III Come on, oh, take advantage of it, let me take the blame?Thinking of this, if Alexander III's face can still be like a spring breeze, then there is really a ghost.

The cardinals who can stand here are naturally old fritters. Seeing the expression on Alexander III's face, they know that this plan has failed, but it doesn't matter, plan A has failed, so let's start plan B.

They were already prepared, those people were still kneeling on the ground, but one of the bishops wearing a big red robe slowly stood up from the ground.

"Bishop Storovs, what's the matter with you?"

Storovs, this is also an old cardinal in St. Peter's Wall. He was already standing here when Alexander II was, and now Alexander III, he still has a very important voice in his hands.

"My lord Pope, after the opening of the sea ban, the development of the kingdom has improved a lot. This is a good thing, but things are corresponding. When we enjoy the results, we should consider what may happen. This time Isuza Ke's death is indeed a lesson for us, if left unchecked, it may threaten the safety of the kingdom, the old minister has an idea."

"Speak, Bishop Storovs."

Alexander III attached great importance to and respected Storovs, sat up straight from the throne immediately after hearing his words, and asked.

"Yes, His Holiness the Pope."

"I don't know if you have heard, my lord, that in the East China Sea, there is a country called the Kingdom of Goa."

As a member country of the world government, the Kingdom of Goa often appears in the newspapers of the world government. Their unique kingdom has also been praised by the Tianlong people. Alexander III still knows about the Kingdom of Goa.

Just listen to Storovs continue.

"The royal city of the Kingdom of Goa adopts a layer-by-layer division method to expel those lazy and greedy maggots outside the city's tall walls, and keep company with garbage. Inside, the way of life of the nobles and royal families is also protected by a layer of walls to protect them. The safety of the nobility and the royal family, but also the decency of the nobles and the royal family, distinguishes us from those low-status commoners."

"On the walls of the entire royal city of the Goa Kingdom, there is only one entrance to enter and exit the place where the poor live. The interior of the city is orderly, and the place where the nobles and the royal family live is even more spotless. It is regarded as a model of segregated society!"

Storovs spoke louder and louder, his old chest was heaving and falling, and he continued to speak.

"Master Pope, our Kingdom of Balegon originally had three huge walls, which are very similar to the structure of the Kingdom of Goa. Originally, those outlying towns were not under our rule, and your benevolent light, Your Excellency, cannot reach the periphery. , so it is understandable that they have some bad habits, but this is already related to the comfort of our nobles, and we have to pay attention to it. There is no need to change the sea ban, but the gate of St. Innocent’s Wall must be lowered, and our nobles must follow Separate those uneducated mobs!"

"Like the excellent system of various kingdoms, our honest country is learning!"

The other cardinals talked a lot, even if they knelt on the ground all the time, it didn't delay their verbal movement. These people are nobles, and their own safety is involved, and they seem to agree with Storows' proposal.

At this time, recently, the popular people around Alexander III had moved to the cardinal in St. Peter's Wall, but Kakulista, who was in charge of finance and diplomacy, stepped forward and said to Alexander III.

"No, my lord pope, since the outlying towns were included in the national border, a large number of commodity transactions have been achieved in a short period of time, and those cheap labors have also provided us with convenience. If the common people are completely isolated, our country's annual income will be greatly reduced."

This is also a very real problem. The existence of outlying towns has brought great convenience to the Kingdom of Balegon, not to mention the labor force. It serves as a buffer zone, but Kakulista will say such things, more because he still has a large number of industries within the wall of St. Innocent. If it is really completely isolated, it is tantamount to Tore off a piece of flesh from Kakulista's body.

But at this time, Storovs said again.

"We can collect taxes from civilians to make up for that loss. Public security is the top priority!"

But Kakulista immediately refuted.

"Bishop Storovs, do you still want to expand the scope of the civilian area?"

"Is the safety of the nobles less important than a group of commoners?"

Storovs immediately turned his head and glared at Kakulista and said.

"Expanding the civilian area will only worsen the public security conditions. At that time, our safety will become even more of a problem! Moreover, the cause of Isuzak's death has not been investigated clearly. Whether it is a crime in the outer towns is still uncertain. There is something wrong with this case, and it must be thoroughly investigated!"

Kakulista said.

And Storows said immediately.

"Whether there is something strange about this case, or whether there is any secret behind it, are not urgent issues now. Now, the outer towns have threatened the safety of the nobles, and this is the most important thing now!"

Under the throne, Kakulista, the newcomer, was having a great time fighting with the old bishop, Storovs, but no decision was made. Alexander III felt a little bored, and even began to sit on the throne. yawned.

But at this time, Alexander III had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said.

"In this case, how about raising taxes on nobles?"

The palace suddenly fell silent, and then there were dissenting voices like a storm.

"My lord pope! Nobility is the cornerstone of ruling a country, and it is also the face of the country. If nobility can't maintain their own decency, how will others view this country, how weak and poor will they think this country is!?"

A cardinal said loudly with a heartbroken face.

However, Alexander III's face became more and more ugly, and he asked almost in an angry tone.

"In this case, what is your opinion?"

Alexander III was already a little impatient, and even proposed to increase taxes on the nobles, which made a group of cardinals who were themselves nobles become frightened.

At this time, Kakulista also didn't care to confront Storovs blindly. After all, he is also a nobleman. If he really raises taxes on the nobles, he is also one of the victims, just listen to him.

"My lord Pope, the two proposals of closing the gates of St. Innocent's Wall and raising taxes on the common people are actually feasible, but after that, people in the outer towns and inside the wall may have grievances, and, when the time comes It is also a very serious problem for the security management of peripheral towns."

"Then what can you do?"

Alexander III looked at Kakulista with an ugly face and asked.

"William and his militia troops, originally their duty was to assist in maintaining law and order. The current plan is to let them go to their posts as soon as possible to organize law and order, especially to arrest those lawless criminals in the outer towns. After the law and order in the outskirts of towns are rectified, our personal safety can be guaranteed.”

Alexander III's memory is not that bad, at least he still knows the existence of William, but his heart is full of discomfort.Just listen to what Alexander III said.

"Can they do it?"

You must know that it is not someone else who is dead now, but his guard captain, Isuzak. In the impression of Alexander III, the criminals in the outer towns are simply more dangerous than Germa 66, at least the latter is farther away. On the horizon, and now the problems of the outlying towns are on the horizon.

But Kakulista said.

"William's armed forces are very powerful. Even people like Isuzak can be easily defeated by his followers, and they also obey William's command. William himself hates evil, and he can definitely do this job well."
