One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 111
It has been a long time since Matsurizawa came to the emerging Shipwreck City.

Today's Shipwreck City has finally taken shape, and the palace of the Songbai Kingdom has also been completed.

Shipwreck City has always faced the sea on one side and the land on the other. Now, Shipwreck City, the capital of the new Songbai Kingdom, has erected three walls on three sides facing the land.

And now, the only port and sea channel on Songbai Island that has been dredged, Shipwreck City is not defenseless against the side that is close to the sea.

After all, if there is any unknown danger in the future Pine and Cypress Kingdom, it will most likely come from the sea.

And if unknown dangers come from the sea, the only way to enter Songbai Island is the port of Shipwreck City.

The Yagyu royal family attached great importance to this. They would rather have no artillery available on the current navy ships, and give priority to setting up the artillery positions on the port.

The Songbai Kingdom is still continuously increasing the firepower configuration on the artillery positions at the port. This is because the only safe channel on Songbai Island is still being sorted out.

The original Songbai Island, when this channel was still in the hands of the Bloody Hand Pirates, if we use this channel as a metaphor, it can be said that there is a gap in a closed environment.

But now that this waterway is in the hands of the Pine and Cypress Kingdom, and after a preliminary sorting out, it can be said that a door has been opened.

As for the final vision of the Songbai Kingdom for this waterway, in King Yagyu's prediction, it was to tear down a wall.

Matsurize took half of the Xiaohe Army to escort the tribute, that is, three thousand Xiaohe knives into the Shipwreck City.

The Xiaohe army was the one hundred guards recruited by the Earl of Xiaohe from among the slaves. Matsurize brought fifty of them out this time.

Matsurize did not bring Ayane with him this time, but brought Baritu, the consul of the Xiaohe Territory, and left Butler Abin and Ayane in the Xiaohe Lord to manage important affairs.

And the reason why he brought Baritu this time is because he has a lot of contacts in this three-acre area of ​​Songbai Island, which can accelerate and preside over the spread of Xiaohe Dao's reputation.

Baritu came out with Matsurize and came to the Shipwreck City to pay tribute. Naturally, the Earl of Xiaohe cannot be leaderless, so this time Ayane and Steward Abin stayed in the town of Xiaohe.

Now that there is no Bloody Hand Pirates, and the Pine Cypress Kingdom has been established, and they came to Shipwreck City from the direction of the Earl of the Xiaohe, Matsurizawa and his party no longer had to deliberately detour.

Matsurize looked at the city wall of Shipwreck City, the capital of the Songbai Kingdom, which was not too high, only five meters high.

The gates of the city walls were wide open, and there were constant crowds coming and going.

Song Rize and Baritu led Xiaohe Army of 50 people to escort Xiaohedao, who was dressed in ten carriages, into Sunken Ship City.

Matsurize and the others walked in the direction of the palace. Matsurize still knew the direction of how to go. After all, the palace was built on the basis of the dojo.

Matsurizawa and others discovered a very interesting phenomenon along the way.

In Shipwreck City, Matsurize and others along the street discovered many slave trades.

In Matsurize's view, all of this should not be much, because the slaves on Songbai Island have been allocated and all have uses, and it is impossible to have such a large number of transactions.

Baritu saw Song Lize's doubts, and Baritu took the initiative to go to a slave trading point, asked about the price of these slaves, and casually asked about the origin of these slaves.

Matsurize was waiting at the side, and Baritu came back to report shortly afterwards.

"Report to the Earl, these slave transactions were brought back when His Majesty the King returned from the sea this time. These slaves are not from the Songbai Island, but from the outside world."

When Baritu said this, Matsurize understood that all this was brought about by King Yagyu.

On his return trip, King Liusheng made up his mind not to return empty-handed, so some lonely islands suffered and were looted, not only valuable treasures were robbed, but even themselves were used as goods It became the spoils of King Yagyu and brought them back to Songbai Island together.

Matsurize ignored the slave trade along the way. To increase the population of the territory, the [-] people in the wilderness were more reliable.

However, today's more than 4 mountain people have formed large and small tribes outside the wilderness, and because they are in the deep mountains and swamps, it is not easy to recruit.

Matsurize watched many pioneering nobles buy slaves as if they were robbing, and increase the population of their territories.

Matsurize laughed at them secretly, recruiting the people of the mountains and fields might pay a little price, but he was not afraid of their loyalty.

And the slaves recruited by King Yagyu that Matsurize saw in front of him all had faces of hatred, and they were not the population needed by the emerging territory at all.

Although Matsurize looked at the origin of the slaves this time and was not optimistic about them, this did not prevent Matsurize and others from buying a few slaves when they returned.

Matsurizawa has decided not to easily buy a large number of slaves obtained from this unjust war, but a small amount of trading does not hinder it.

Matsurize and others came very early, and a group of pioneering nobles and official nobles came to the palace of Shipwreck City, the capital of the Songbai Kingdom, early.

Matsurize did not see King Yagyu and Prince Jay, but was led by the palace attendants to the side hall to rest and prepare for the grand meeting tomorrow morning.

Matsurizawa was not depressed because he did not see King Yagyu and Prince Jay. You must know that Earl Megan Stewart, who is also the earl, was greeted by Prince Jay himself from the palace.

Although the current Xiaohe collar is definitely not as good as the Megan collar, the Matsurize family is not as deep as the Megan family.

But Matsurizawa firmly believes that these are only temporary.

Not to mention anything else, when his children grow up, relying on the talents gifted by the system steward, especially Gerald Jr. and Allen, Matsurizawa is looking forward to the future prospects.

The Yagyu royal family did not pay much attention to their Matsurizawa family, so there will be regrets in the future.

Unlike Ayane, Matsurizawa has a deep affection for King Yagyu and Prince Jay. This time, King Yagyu and Prince Jay did not pay much attention to Matsurizawa, which is also why Ayane did not come with him.

After Matsurizawa regained his memory, in this world, only Ayane and his own children are the people that Matsurize values ​​and cherishes, and the feelings of the rest are not that important.

Song Lize entrusted Baritu with the assignment of [-] Xiaohe knives, and asked him to arrange them with fifty Xiaohe troops.

And Matsurize started practicing swordsmanship in the residence arranged for him by the palace.

Since Matsurizawa became the earl, he has not given up the practice of swordsmanship and boxing. It is not much different from before. They are all diligent in practice.
