One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 223

It has been two months since the Golden Lion died on Songbai Island.

The Matsurizawa family also returned to Xiaohe City.

As for the casualties of the Xiaohe army and the guards in the incident two months ago, the statistics came out, and it was very heavy.

In the past two months, the main thing in Xiaohe collar has been dealing with this matter.

There were 2000 troops and 700 guards, nearly [-] people died, and there were [-] people who were disabled and could not continue to serve as soldiers. There were only [-] guards left.

The casualty ratio of the 7000-person Xiaohe Army is better than that of the Guard Army, but the total number is still very heavy.

There were still 7000 dead and nearly 1 disabled.

For this reason, the families of the casualties were compensated, new recruits were recruited to make up for the Xiaohe Army's quota, and a group of elites were recruited from the Xiaohe Army to make up for the 3000 quota of the Matsurize's Guard Army.

And in order to conceal the secret agents of Megan's collar, all of this has to be done secretly and in secret.

As for Gerald and Allen, they had only been recuperating for more than ten days, and their injuries had not recovered, so they hurried to their own military camp on the border to sit in town.

After defeating the Golden Lion this time, Ayane also had good news that she was pregnant again, and she has been pregnant for a month now.

In this battle with the Golden Lion, Eddie, who made great contributions invisibly, was also found.

As soon as Matsurize returned to Xiaohe City, he began to find out which child had eaten the devil fruit.

The investigation turned out to be fruitless, only the news of Eddie's disappearance came to light, and it became clear that Eddie ran away from home, had an adventure, and ate a devil fruit.

But I can't find it anywhere, and Eddie can eat devil fruits. You must know that devil fruits are in the new world, even on Songbai Island, it is not a mysterious thing.

Except for the uninhabited no-man's land, there is no devil fruit for Eddie to find and eat.

Matsurizawa went to the no-man's land himself, and when he finally found Eddie, the no-man's land became history.

All the ferocious beasts that met Matsurize became his ghosts, and then the Xiaohe army was dispatched to re-open the boundary of human settlement here.

When Eddie was found, he lived a comfortable life as a child. He was taken good care of by the female black bear, and he went hunting with three black bears, two young and one big.

Even if Eddie doesn't transform into a black bear, he won't be attacked by the female black bear, because he already remembers Eddie's breath and is already a family.

When Matsurize took Eddie away, Eddie, who had already lived comfortably with the three black bears, even brought the three black bears back to Xiaoheling.

Right now, Xiaohe Leader is licking his wounds, reorganizing his troops, and is beginning to prepare for the process of annexing Megan Leader and unifying Songbai Island.

After two months of recuperation, there is no need to hide anymore. At the border with Megan's Territory, they are brazenly training their troops and preparing for the war against Megan's Territory.

For this reason, the eldest son town where Gerald is located has increased its troops from the original [-] Xiaohe army to [-], and the fourth son town where Allen is located has also increased its troops to [-].

In Sanchuan City, Mellon was still in command, and the Xiaohe Army also increased its troops to [-].

In Shipwreck City, there are still [-] Xiaohe troops, but they are no longer suppressing turmoil, but guarding against foreign forces that may attack the Shipwreck Port.

Now that Songbai Island is unified, because Xiaohe Territory resists the presence of slave traders, many external forces are supporting Megan Territory. Maybe they will attack Shipwreck Port and the town to help Megan Territory, or simply plunder the wealth of Shipwreck City. The creek in the rear occupies the land.

The remaining [-] Xiaohe Army in Xiaohe Territory and the [-] Guards of Matsurize are stationed in Xiaohe City. At that time, depending on which battlefield is under greater pressure, more troops will be sent to that battlefield.

Such a big movement by Xiaoheling has already alarmed Meganling.

"Brother, why are you still so stubborn? It's not like you don't know how powerful Xiaohe collar is now. We couldn't beat them back then, and we lost every game.

Now that they have strong people like devil fruit ability users, we can't defeat them by ourselves, no matter what. "

"I'm stubborn, Swan, I know that by bringing in external forces, we can increase our chances of winning.

But you have to know, the difference, they bring slaves and goods, come in to do business, that's fine, and I have no problem with that.

But this time they brought the army, their army of slaves, and unruly pirates. There are all kinds of people. Once they come, it is not so easy to leave.

The Xiaohe Territory is powerful, but it has been with us for so long, maybe we can submit to them in name and let them retain the autonomy of our Megan Territory. "

Stewart was still listening to his elder brother Wali and his thirteenth brother Swan arguing here as usual.

He was a little reconciled, and his face was not as calm as usual, because the two of them said that no matter what happened, Megan's future would not end well.

Either surrender to Xiaohe Territory, or be manipulated and restrained by external forces in the future.

This is not the ending that Stewart wanted. I regret it. When Xiaoheling annexed the king's land, he was still like Wally and Swan, laughing at Xiaoheling's self-control. There will be no good results in the future. , everything has changed.

When they wanted to turn around and share the king's share of the pie, it would be too late. If he knew that Xiao Heling had been extremely weak for a while, he would regret it even more.

"Okay, stop arguing, every time you quarrel, is it enough?"

Stewart lost his temper because of the quarrel between Wally and Swan, and he no longer allowed the two of them to continue their endless quarrel.

"Swan, contact them. I agree to all their conditions. As long as they can defeat Xiaohe, you can also hand over the shipwreck port to them."

Compared with the harsh conditions of the slave traders, Stewart couldn't bear to lose everything he had now. The taste of power is fascinating.

Megan led the fight for help from outside forces, mainly to win the help of the major slave traders who were originally in Shipwreck City on Songbai Island.

They can all be regarded as a tyrant among the underground forces in the new world.

This time, if they help Megan Territory resist Xiaohe Territory and eliminate Xiaohe Territory, they will put forward many strict conditions.

For example, in the future, they can no longer collect taxes on their business transactions, and in the future, the native population of Songbai Island can be added to the slave trading market.

It's not that Shi Duhua can't see these malicious requests and future crises that will cause endless troubles, but to deal with the immediate crisis, the future crisis can be ignored first.
