The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece

Chapter 524 The Prelude to the Chaos in the Liao Dynasty
"Outside the number! Outside the number!"

On the street, a newsboy was carrying a backpack full of newspapers, waving the newspapers in his hands, and shouting loudly:

"The 28-nation coalition led by the Shenzhou Kingdom and the Navy Headquarters, a war broke out outside the city of generosity!"

"Dawn Pirates again!?"

"What's the outcome of the war!? Was it won or lost!?"

"Go buy a newspaper if you want to know! Did you spend all your money on booze!? You drunkard!"

"It's too long-winded!"

A large group of people surrounded the newsboy and bought newspapers with money.

"The [-] Beihai Allied Forces were wiped out!?"

"Admiral Akainu's life and death are unknown!?"

"The newly promoted vice admiral died with a smile—!"

"Is this fake news!?" A passer-by hurriedly turned back to the beginning of the article and took a closer look at the title of the newspaper: "But this is the World Economic News—!"

"What will Beihai look like!?" A man put his hands on his head and wailed in a low voice: "Is Beihai also going to be ruled by pirates like the New World?"

"Who knows..." An old man exhaled a cigarette, and the white smoke rising up made his vicissitudes of life faintly visible:
"In short, it may be worse than the current situation, or it may be better..."

"Old man?" The others turned to look at the old man, and asked in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

"Hahaha... cough..." The old man's laughter was mixed with coughing and inexplicable emotions, and he said in a low voice: "Every year, just burdening the 'heavenly gold' makes everyone exhausted..."

"This time the Beihai coalition failed, our king...heh!" The old man used a nasal voice, revealing his disdain for the king: "Do you think he will 'do nothing'?"

"..." The surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent.

Torrance is a member country of the World Government, but this time it did not send troops. That is to say, the country has not established a trade relationship with the Kingdom of China.

Torrance is located in the northernmost area of ​​the North Sea. Half of the year is covered by ice and snow. Ordinary people can only rely on thick cotton coats and spirits to keep warm.

The usual cost of living remained high, and for three or four months it was too cold to go out to work.Just the cost of living and the amount of money paid to the heavens are enough to overwhelm the vast majority of civilians.

And the king of Torrance is a greedy person, who collects exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes from the people in different ways every year, such as "road ice and snow cleaning fees", "firewood and carbon pollution control fees" and so on.

As for whether the money has been used in these projects with false names, the public is not clear.

Every year, their properties are confiscated because they cannot pay the money, and hundreds of civilians freeze to death on the side of the road.

If the war is unfavorable this time, many poor people will be killed if the so-called "Liao pay, train pay and suppress ring" are charged.

A man moved his lips a few times, and finally asked the most worrying question: "What should we do?"

"What else can I do?" The people around replied dejectedly: "Work hard to make money!"

"Have you heard?" A man asked cautiously: "It seems that the Shenzhou Kingdom does not need to pay the heavenly gold."

"Hahaha!" The bearded man laughed heartily and said, "The Dawn Pirates snatched the heavenly gold from the World Government, of course they don't need to earn the heavenly gold from poor people like us!"

Then he patted the man's shoulder with his hand: "If you go out to sea and become a pirate, you don't have to pay the sky gold!"

"What stupid things are you talking about!" The man was startled, and quickly retracted his head into his clothes, trying to hide his appearance: "This is a capital offense!"

"Hmph!" the bearded man snorted coldly, and said, "Anyway, if you stay in this country, you will be beaten to the bone by this greedy king..."

"I might as well find a way to go to the Kingdom of Shenzhou and fight for a way out!"

"You're crazy!" The people around were taken aback by his thoughts, and hurriedly took a step back, trying to distance themselves from the bearded man.

"There is no need to pay taxes for these two years..." The old man shook his head and said, "Shenzhou Kingdom will definitely collect taxes in the future, but I don't know the proportion of taxes to be paid..."

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Before the words fell, the neatly dressed guards lined up in a line, and one person in front, holding a stack of notices in his hand, went to the position where the latest decree was read out, called the nearby people, and read aloud:

"His Majesty King Hilme has a decree:"

"Recently, the North Sea has been threatened by the Dawn Pirates. The warships, merchant ships, and cruise ships of the participating countries in the North Sea are often destroyed and looted by the Dawn Pirates, seriously damaging the rights and interests of the country and the safety of the people!"

"In order to protect national security and people's property, we hereby recruit [-] soldiers from the people today! Build ten large warships!"

"Each citizen, adults need to pay [-] Berries, and children need to pay [-] Berries, which are used to pay for military training and ordnance manufacturing..."

"What!? You still have to pay!?"

"This year's Heavenly Gold, we have already paid, and there is no money left—!"

"Hilma! Get out of here!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and the pot exploded like boiling water.

"Who was it just now!?" A captain-like guard with a gloomy face stepped forward and shouted angrily, "How dare you call the king by his name!?"

"..."

As soon as the voice of the crowd fell, it immediately rose back:
"so what!?"

"One hundred thousand Baileys for an adult! Let no one live!"

The crowd surrounding it boldly surrounded it.

"Shh-"

That group of guards pulled out their weapons in unison, and the shining blades reflected the cold light, causing the surrounding crowd to immediately silence:
"Whoever dares to take a step forward will be treasonous!"

"..."

There was silence among the crowd, the crime of treason could be captured and killed on the spot, and there was no reason to justify death.Even the bearded man who wanted to go to sea just now froze in place, not daring to move.

"Hmph!" The captain glanced around with a sneer, scaring everyone away, and then posted the notice in his hand on the bulletin board, announcing loudly:
"This fee will be collected in three months!"

"If one person joins the army, the whole family can be exempted from paying the fee! ——The premise is that the selection conditions for conscription are passed!"

After the lecture, the captain led his men to the next bulletin board.

After the guards walked away, the crowd left behind began to discuss:
"Three months of hard work, I can't make so much money at all!"

"You are a bachelor, you only need to pay [-] Baileys, and I have a wife and children, what should I do!?"

A group of people sighed, some people wanted to leave the country, but they didn't have enough courage.Losing the familiar environment and living in a completely unfamiliar place with no acquaintances, not everyone can make up their minds.

What's more, the cost of leaving the Kingdom of Torrance and going to other countries is not cheap.

Most people can only complain with their mouths, and work hard to earn enough fees with their bodies and honesty.

……

"Hahaha!" King Hirmer sat on the throne, his fat body covered with clothes and bulging.

He raised the goblet in his hand, and drank the crimson wine like the blood of the people, showing a gloating expression: "Let those idiots trade with the Dawn Pirates privately, this time, It’s a big loss!”

Larson, the clerk who was sitting down, bent down and complimented: "It is His Majesty's foresight and foresight that prevented the Kingdom of Torrance from suffering such a loss."

"..." Xier Mai froze, with an unnatural expression on his face, and nodded.

He also wanted to make a deal with the Dawn Pirates, but the Torrance Kingdom was too far away, and it was too late to get the news of the trade, so he escaped.

Hilmai put down the wine glass in his hand: "We should take this opportunity to defeat that damn French Kingdom..."

"However, Your Majesty..." the clerk reminded: "The world government has warned us, the allied countries that have not participated in the war, not to take the opportunity to attack those allied countries that participated in the war."

"...Hmph!" Hillme snorted coldly, the World Government's warning had to be heeded.However, he does not intend to fully obey the orders of the World Government, at least to teach his enemy, the Kingdom of France, a small lesson...

"Your Majesty!" Larson said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xier Mai stretched out his hand to call a nearby attendant, and ordered the attendant to pour wine for him, then turned to look at his clerk: "What else do you need?"

"Should we postpone the fee for training troops and building ships?"

"Didn't I delay for three months?" Xier Mai plausibly said: "It's rare to see a king who thinks about the people like me!"

"Yes!" Larson praised repeatedly, and continued: "However, many citizens will die because of this tax..."

"This is my country!" Xiermei threw the wine glass in his hand, and the half-full crimson wine spilled all over the clerk. The wine glass fell on the thick carpet and rolled twice, angrily The roar echoed in the hall:
"Whatever I want to do! Just do it!"

"Those untouchables who can't pay taxes, it's best if they all die!"

"His Majesty!"

"Come here!" Xiermei called two guards in armor: "Throw him out!"

"Yes!"

The guards, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed the clerk and dragged him away forcefully.

"Hmph!" Xiermai reached out to take the towel handed over by the attendant, wiped his hands, there was accidentally stained wine on it, and waved his hand to the attendant who was holding the wine: "Go down! The wine has become unpalatable!"

Some countries in the North Sea caused some moderate disturbances due to the impoliteness of the war.

Marlin Vandor, located in the center of the world, is also at the center of the storm.

"Report to the Marshal!" A sailor rushed into the office nervously: "There is no news about Admiral Sakalski!"

"I see." Zhan Guo waved his hand solemnly.

"It's a good thing that there's no news." Garp didn't run around, and sat on the sofa comfortably, comforting his old friend: "With Sakalski's ability, he didn't die so easily."

"Hmm..." Zhan Guo replied absent-mindedly.

"But the enemy is Kuilong, so it's hard to say what happened..." Lieutenant General He added next to him: "Even that Yixiao... died on the battlefield."

Lieutenant General He's knowledgeable domineering can perceive Yixiao's amazing strength, which is not much weaker than the three current generals.

Even he...maybe the Navy is going to prepare for the worst.

Zhan Guo showed a sad expression, and he was sent out by himself for a smile. Even though he knew that the battle was not easy, he still led the order.The most important thing is that Yixiao's behavior style suits his own taste.

Unexpectedly, I have only been a colleague for a few months...

"Cheer up, Warring States." Lieutenant General He sighed, and softly comforted: "This is not your responsibility, don't take it all on yourself."

"No, this is my responsibility..." Sengoku shook his head and regained his composure: "Now, the most important thing is to find Sakaski."

"After finding Sakaski, you should give yourself a vacation..." Lieutenant General He said, "Otherwise, the string you have been tightening will break sooner or later."

"Alas..." Warring States smiled wryly: "The kings of the allied countries of the North Sea also clamored for me to give an explanation. A total of 7 troops were wiped out, and I, the admiral of the navy, did it to the end..."

At this time, a second lieutenant of the navy walked in from the outside and saluted: "Marshal, Wu Laoxing invites you to go to Marlene Joya."

"I see." Zhan Guo nodded, ready to get up and leave the table.

"These five old guys, isn't it enough for you to take the blame?" Garp picked his nostrils, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Karp, don't say such things!" Lieutenant General He gave Garp a stern look.

"Hey!" Garp continued to pick his nose nonchalantly.

The second lieutenant in charge of the order was watching his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart, but he turned a deaf ear. The names of these officers were scary, and I was a small shrimp.

"No, I asked for it myself."

"Warring States, you—" Lieutenant General He showed a surprised expression: "Do you want to retire?"

Karp also reacted, and persuaded: "Warring States, there is no one in the Navy who is more suitable for this position than you!"

"I'll go back as soon as I go." Zhan Guo shook his head and left with the messenger.

Leaving Karp and Lieutenant General He looking at each other in blank dismay.

……

As soon as they met, Wulaoxing with white curly hair and a fluffy beard said, "Zhan Guo, we know what you think."

"We have also discussed with Kong, and think that now is not the time." Wu Laoxing with a long beard said: "Now, the navy cannot lose another marshal."

The Warring States Marshal lowered his gaze: "But in this war, someone needs to take responsibility for the defeat."

"We knew about the defeat in advance." Wu Laoxing, who had a two-character beard and a birthmark on his forehead, said: "Let those allied countries who flirt with the Dawn Pirates suffer huge losses and turn to hate the Dawn Pirates." , is a long-planned strategy, and you have done it well."

"..."

Wu Laoxing with short blond hair said: "We will stop the noise of the kings for you, and you will continue to be your admiral."

"...Who will bear the lives of those soldiers?"

The bald man in a white Taoist robe snorted: "What are the lives of tens of thousands of people compared to the balance of the sea?"

"...I understand." Zhan Guo suppressed the anger that was about to detonate, and immediately turned and left.

"Remember, your navy is only the 'outer' face of the world government."

Zhan Guo paused, and then left without saying a word.
