Above the Pirate King

Chapter 708 The Choice of the Throne

"let me go!!!"

"I don't want to be a king!!!"

"Help me—"

"Bastard, let me go!!!"

Accompanied by heart-piercing screams that resounded through the sky, the people in the capital of the Kakzi Kingdom were woken up early in the morning when it was just dawn!
"Alas—it's starting again!"

"It's just pathetic!"

"Forget it, for the sake of the death of so many kings, I forgive you!"

However, the person who was woken up did not complain. Instead, he glanced at a certain place in the city with pity, then shook his head, sighed and went back to sleep, or simply got up !

At this time, the birthplace of the screams!
"Being a king is something that many people dream of!"

"That's right, Prince Keda, just go!"

"You are the most qualified to ascend the throne in the royal family!"

"All of us unanimously agree that you become king!"

"Yes, yes! After you become a king, you can do whatever you want!"

In front of a luxurious mansion in the west of the capital of the Kingdom of Kakzi, a group of luxuriously dressed and imposing people who looked like nobles and officials were standing around the door facing a chubby man who looked to be in his twenties. The young man who was holding on to the pillar at the door persuaded.

"I don't want to be a king! If you force me, I, I. The first thing I do after I become king is to chop off the heads of you bastards!" Ke Da shouted angrily while hugging the pillar tightly. road.

"Prince Keda, that's a king, no one else can do it even if they want to sit!"

"That's right! Prince Keda, His Majesty told us before leaving that you must be put on the throne!"

"Prince Keda, please, just do it!"

A group of people listened to Ke Da's words, and after looking at each other, most of them continued to persuade Ke Da earnestly.

And a small part of them, the ministers who seemed to be the leaders, broke away from the crowd and went to the side to discuss quietly.

"What should we do? Prince Keda is obviously not going to let go of his mouth now!"

"I can't help it. In a short period of time, four kings died one after another. Everyone is afraid! Let alone Prince Keda who has no ambitions?"

"Not only that, I'm afraid that without finding out how the king died, I'm afraid there won't be anyone who is qualified to succeed and is willing to become the king!"

"But the problem now is that it can't be found out! Every time the king's death seems to be an accident and a coincidence, how can people find out?"

"It can't be an accident! One accident is the past, and two accidents are also the past, but three or four times, this is a bit unreasonable, so it must not be an accident!"

"Everyone knows this, but there is no need to investigate!"

"Okay, is it an accident, check it or not, let's put it aside for now! The most important thing in front of us is to have a king. After all, a kingdom can't live without a king, right?"

"Yes! However, Prince Keda, who has the most right to inherit right now, refuses to cooperate with us to become king, and other royal families also keep a respectful distance from the position of king. Some even took their family out for a trip overnight last night. Under such circumstances, who will be king?"

Several important ministers of the Kakzi Kingdom were chatting, but they all fell silent!
They also have a headache about who will be the king!

However, it's not that there are so many people grabbing the headache, but that no one wants to sit in this seat!
Of course, thinking about it, they can understand it too!
In a short period of time, the four kings all died due to accidents. In this case, although the position of the king is very attractive, no one dares to bet whether he will be the next one!
What if the bet is lost?

"Or, Prince Keda?" One of the ministers wearing a blue noble dress suggested hesitantly.

After listening to his words, several people around looked at Prince Keda who was clinging to the pillar and shook their heads.

"Forget it! With his refusal to cooperate, if he ascends the throne, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble in the future!" One of the old nobles with eyes said helplessly.

"That's right! But besides him, who do you want to choose?" The minister in blue noble dress glanced around and frowned.

After listening to his words, everyone fell silent again!
This position is not a matter of choosing or not, but that no one is willing to take it!
After a while, the elderly noble seemed to have thought of something, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you choose the royal family?"

"Um!?"

Hearing this, several ministers around turned their heads suddenly, their eyes widened, and they looked at him in disbelief.

"Now all the members of the royal family don't want to be kings, and some even fled the country because of this. In this case, why don't we change our thinking and expand the scope? For example, the king may not be a royal family, but have royal blood? Feeling the scorching eyes of several ministers around him, the old nobleman said bravely.

In fact, he also understands that his words are a bit outrageous!

But the problem is that no one from the royal family dares to become the king in the entire Kakzi Kingdom, and the Kakzi Kingdom cannot live without a king, so he has to say this again!

After listening to his words, several ministers present fell silent after looking at each other in blank dismay!

The old nobleman's words are a bit outrageous, but they are reasonable!

If it was an ordinary time, they could even use this sentence to directly bring down the elderly nobles!

But at this moment, they don't have such thoughts!
"That's a good idea!" After a long time, a minister glanced around and punched, and then tentatively said!
"Well, I think it's good too!" Immediately, another minister spoke.

And with the opening of these two people, the words of the ministers suddenly increased.

"That's it, but who will be the king?"

"You must choose someone who is courageous, preferably with a little strength, or you can have powerful subordinates!"

"Well, if you are not very courageous and have no strength, then it will be a little troublesome. At that time, you may not be able to resist the seemingly accidental killing!"

"I have a more suitable candidate here. He has royal blood and should be very courageous. The most important thing is that the people around him are indeed very strong! But I don't know if you agree or not?"

"Who?"

"Grand Duchess Pendragon!"

After the elderly nobleman named the person who met their requirements, the ministers present fell silent again!

The Grand Duchess Pendragon indeed meets the conditions they mentioned above!

But that's a problem!
She is too strong!

Her men once beat Doflamingo away!

Under such circumstances, if the Grand Duchess Pendragon is allowed to take the throne, the power in the hands of these ministers may not be guaranteed, but at least they will be taken by the group of nobles who originally relied on the Grand Duchess Pendragon. Ministers, officials, the suppression is miserable!
"Do we have any other options now? Apart from the Grand Duchess Pendragon, will other royal families or people with royal blood not be afraid of death and agree to become kings?"

"And even if there is, so what? Wouldn't he die in that seemingly accidental killing if his strength is not enough?" The elderly noble looked at the group of ministers around him and asked with a frown.

"Then do what you want!" One of the ministers listened to the old nobleman's words, thought for a moment, and broke the silence first by gritting his teeth!

"Yes! Just do as you want!" A minister immediately echoed.

And as the two spoke, several ministers present looked at each other and nodded silently, agreeing with the idea of ​​the elderly nobleman!
It's just that what they didn't notice was that the corner of the elderly noble's mouth slightly raised at the moment they agreed, and a glimmer of joy quietly flashed in the depths of his eyes!
