One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 137 Jay Succession IV

Earl Tam looked at the triumphant Prince Jay there, and said how wise he was, how he disintegrated the pioneering nobles in one fell swoop, and made them have constant disputes since then, and they could no longer unite against him.

Earl Tam looked down on Prince Jay more and more.

How short-sighted this is. As the future king of a country, how can he only see the immediate interests and not consider the future.

This is currently undermining the unity of the pioneering nobles. Maybe in this year, many pioneering nobles will disappear.

But in the future, in the end, there will be a few, or even a big force, to fight against the royal family of the Songbai King.

At that time, the royal family may not be able to protect themselves. The enemy is a group. Not to mention other things, at least they can guarantee their own safety. When facing an enemy in the future, they will work together, and the chaotic days of Songbai Island will be inevitable in the future.

Earl Maris felt very uncomfortable. He had worked so hard for the royal family of Yagyu, and he didn't want Prince Jay to be so impulsive.

Count Maris didn't know what to do at this time, and suddenly said something to Prince Jay.

"In this way, there will be no chaos on Songbai Island in the future, but in the end it is still chaotic. How will Master Shiji explain it?"

Without waiting for Prince Jay to refute, Earl Tam suddenly spoke to Earl Maris for Prince Jay.

"I'm not afraid of that. What Master Shiji wants is the peace and stability of Shipwreck City, and what he wants is the continued development of the slave trading market.

These are all in line with the conditions and will not affect them. On the contrary, Megan will lead them to fight against each other, and will also drive the prosperity of the slave trading market. "

Earl Tam thought it through, muddling along, and he blindly took the right path for Prince Jay and the Pine Kingdom.

Prince Jay didn't appreciate this, it was too tiring to be a loyal minister, it would be easier to be a slouch and afraid of horses.

Earl Maris stared at Earl Tam in disbelief. In the end, Earl Maris didn't know what to say to Prince Jay and Earl Tam who were standing together, so he just left in anger.

At this time, although Prince Jay didn't think he had done anything wrong, he still knew that he still had to rely a lot on the two old ministers, Earl Tam and Earl Maris.

However, Rose's leaving without saying goodbye still made Prince Jay a little unhappy, so Prince Jay didn't stop Maris-Ross from leaving without saying goodbye.

Prince Jay said loudly to Earl Maris who was about to walk out of the hall.

"Uncle Rose, I will never forget the contributions you and Earl Tam have made. From now on, you are all Marquis titles."

Earl Maris was not so happy because he was promoted to the title of Marquis, nor did he stop his departure.

Seeing this, Prince Jay cursed secretly in his heart, an old man who relies on the old to sell the old.

Prince Jay looked at Earl Tam, who had changed his attitude now. No, it was the Marquis Tam. Compared with the stubborn and emerging Marquis Maris, Prince Jay was naturally closer to the Marquis Tam.

The Marquis Tam who has changed his mentality, now he is a bit like many years ago, when Shipwreck City was still Shipwreck Town, and he had a mentality when he was the mayor of the town.

Marquis Tam judged the situation very well, and he could change into whatever the environment required him to become without hesitation.

Marquis Tam and Prince Jay are flattering each other, getting along in an unprecedented harmony.

In the end, Marquis Tam still talked about some serious matters with Prince Jay, and discussed the day when he was going to be enthroned.

Now, Prince Jay has basically negotiated with a group of pioneering nobles, and the fifty towns directly under his territory are also confused.

Now we only need to wait for Prince Jay to set the date of his enthronement, and the nobles who have successfully received the reward from Prince Jay will naturally come to congratulate the new king.

However, the current Jay just randomly set a date with Marquis Tam, and his attention was not on this important matter.

Prince Jay is now preoccupied with venting his grievances over the past few days.

And this object is also easy to find, it is the fifty towns that were raised and put down their guard.

These Fifty Towns are not all of the first and second ends of the first mouse, or a small number of towns are firmly on the side of Prince Jay, but they are bound together by most of the Fifty Towns. Not willingly.

And these fifty towns, to be honest, no matter whether it is Prince Jay, Marquis Maris, Tam Marquis, or a group of pioneering nobles, they did not take them seriously.

In these fifty towns, there were only a few guards in the towns. Not only were they few in number, they also lacked training. They were nothing more than a group of chickens and dogs.

If it weren't for this time, Prince Jay was restrained by the pioneering nobles, and he was afraid that they would join the pioneering nobles with their manpower and material resources, so he tolerated them so far.

Jay told Marquis Tam about his thoughts and his idea of ​​cleaning up Fifty Towns before taking the throne, and the two discussed together.

Not long afterward, in Shipwreck City, another emissary riding one by one officially sailed to the territory of a group of pioneering nobles.

This time, these envoys went with the intention of officially promoting and opening up the titles of the nobles, and it was the will of the king after Prince Jay ascended the throne in the future.

One month later, a group of pioneer nobles came to Shipwreck City to attend the enthronement ceremony of Prince Jay.

Prince Jay also made a formal decree on the previously agreed conditions of opening up the wilderness and freely expanding the territory.

Half a month has passed.

The emerging Marquis of Xiaohe, Matsurize, Duke of Meghan, Stewart, and other earls and viscounts are all preparing to head towards Shipwreck City.

And the Pine and Cypress Kingdom has [-] towns directly under its territory. Under the general situation, no one dares to act at both ends.

Since Prince Jay set the date of enthronement, great changes have taken place in these fifty towns in the past half month.

Originally, Prince Jay was planning to use force to exterminate these people with both ends of the head rat, and to let out the evil fire in his heart.

However, under the full persuasion of Marquis Marquis, Prince Jay could only change his mind at this time.

Marquis Maris said a lot, but only one sentence hit Prince Jay's heart.

That is, the use of force at this time is likely to cause panic among the pioneering nobles and cause unreasonable changes to the enthronement ceremony.

Originally, Prince Jay insisted that Duke Megan, Marquis Xiaohe and other pioneering nobles come to Shipwreck City to participate in the ceremony, just to show his control over Songbai Island in front of the Golden Lion's emissary, and to reassure the Golden Lion.

The envoy of the Golden Lion left Songbai Island without going too far, and rested on a small island not far from Songbai Island, waiting for changes on Songbai Island.
