One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 135 Jay Succession II

"Prime Minister, since they are so aggressive, then send troops to exterminate them."

Prince Jay's style of doing things is to put force first.

But at this time, he still knew that he had to rely on the Prime Minister, Earl Tam and Earl Maris, and knew that the situation at this time required their help, so no matter how extreme the idea was, he would discuss it with these two.

The prime minister of the kingdom, Earl Tam, blushed with anger. What time is it now? His Royal Highness is still so naive, and he screams and kills at every turn.

In the final analysis, Earl Tam was not on the same side as the Yagyu family from the very beginning.

However, Earl Tam's current status and current power are all attached to the Yagyu family as a royal family.

In the kingdom, he was mostly in charge of the affairs of civilian officials, not involving military power. It should be said that the original King Yagyu had always been on guard against him and did not allow him to find an opportunity to involve military power.

Just like the behavior of the two heads of Shushu in the fifty towns directly under the Pine and Cypress Kingdom this time.

In the final analysis, Earl Tam should be blamed for this matter. After all, he is the prime minister of the kingdom. But if the responsibility is investigated, the dead King Yagyu might be blamed, because he restricted and guarded Earl Tam everywhere.

After all, there is only one meaning, that is, no matter how Earl Tam looks down on Prince Jay now, he can only be attached to him, because if Prince Jay fails, then his status as Earl Tam will be gone , maybe even life will be lost.

Compared to Earl Tam's reluctance, Earl Maris was much better. Earl Maris stood up and said to Prince Jay.

"Your Highness, don't you want to completely push Fifty Towns to pioneer nobles and Megan's collar?"

Earl Maris awakened Prince Jay with his words.

Although the current Prince Jay has taken control of the power in Shipwreck City, he has not yet formed an overwhelming force against other forces on Conifer Island, especially Prince Jay's current thorn in the flesh, Megan Collar.

Sending troops to use force is really a bad idea, it will only make oneself more isolated.

Prince Jay gave up the idea of ​​using force, but he still showed a relatively naive side in politics, and only heard what Prince Jay said.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then don't care about them, I'm on the throne, it's none of their business.

Simply put, just hold the succession ceremony. "

It was Earl Maris who persuaded Prince Jay.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, if the name is not right, the speech is not right.

Of course, it is natural for His Highness to ascend the throne and become king, but it is not recognized by all the forces on the island. Is this what His Highness wants to be the king of Shipwreck City? "

Jay pondered, Earl Maris's words made sense, and he listened to them.

Seeing that Prince Jay had listened to his persuasion, Earl Maris continued.

"Your Highness, there is another very important point, which must be recognized by all the forces on Songbai Island."

Prince Jay spoke kindly to Earl Maris in a rare way.

"Uncle Ross, please."

"Your Highness, Lord Shiji, don't forget."

"What's the matter with the Golden Lion?"

Jay is obviously not as close to the Golden Lion as his father, and wants to join the Golden Lion so much.

"Your Highness, today's Songbai Island is not what it used to be, and it can be regarded as an important territory under Lord Shiji's command.

Mr. Ke Shiji will never allow the current Songbai Island to continue to be so chaotic and disorderly.

If you put aside the pioneering nobles and those towns at this time, and become the king alone, it will only make Songbai Island more chaotic.

It's hard to say, when the time comes, Master Shiji will send a team to take over Songbai Island directly. "

Although Prince Jay disliked the Golden Lion, he was still afraid of the Golden Lion's despotic power, and was even more afraid that the Golden Lion would send someone to take his throne.

Earl Maris's scare finally made Prince Jay fully realize the reality, knowing that his top priority now is to be justified, and everyone surrendered to the throne to stabilize the situation on Songbai Island.

Jay's face turned into a bitter face. Jay bowed to Earl Maris and Earl Tam, made a big gift, and said.

"Two uncles, please tell me your kind words, Jay can do anything."

Prince Jay finally recognized the reality. After he said this, he seemed to have grown a lot in an instant.

When it comes to countermeasures, Earl Maris still can't do it. To deal with such a tense and difficult situation, Earl Maris has no plan.

Earl Maris looked at Earl Tam, obviously wanting Earl Tam to come up with an idea.

Earl Tam did his part and expressed his thoughts in a calm manner.

"Your Highness, to resolve the current tense situation, there are only four words."

Prince Jay said to Earl Tam excitedly when he heard that Earl Tam had a solution, as if a drowning person had been rescued ashore.

"I don't know which four words it is?"

"Exchange of benefits."

Hearing these four words, Jay couldn't react for a while, and didn't know what they meant, but Earl Maris understood.

Earl Maris said to Earl Tam with a heavy face.

"The prime minister's strategy is still very feasible, but the consequences are too serious. It's completely tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and it doesn't cure the root cause of the disease!"

"Does Earl Maris have a better way?"

Maris Rose stopped talking. Indeed, he couldn't think of a way by himself, and now he really couldn't find a better way.

Earl Tam saw that Earl Maris stopped talking and stopped contradicting himself, and saw Prince Jay with a puzzled face, so he explained his four-character strategy to Prince Jay in detail.

"Your Highness, the exchange of interests is very simple, that is, we take out a part of our interests in exchange for their submission, at least to recognize your kingship."

How could Jay not understand when he heard such a straightforward explanation? Jay's face suddenly turned blue again.

No matter how naive Jay is in politics, no matter how cruel he is, and how flawed he is, he can still see that this kind of thing is really too humiliating and has too much trouble.

Today's pioneering nobles still have those fifty towns, which are enough to be arrogant and rebellious. This exchange of interests is only for them to support themselves for a short time.

This makes them stronger, what can they do in the future?
Maris looked at Jay with a livid face, and knew that there was only one way in front of him, so he tried to persuade him again.

"Your Highness, in the exchange of interests, we can exchange some false names, so that the damage will be much smaller."

Jay now hears the words of Earl Maris, just like hearing the voice of heaven, which can always bring him good news.
