One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 478
"Calvin, what are you doing in a daze, this is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is back."

Hearing what the third sister Angelina said, Calvin's eyes were red and moist.

For Calvin and the others, how good Gerald was to them in childhood, how much miss they will have in these six years.

They are brothers who are four or five years apart. For Gerald, the eldest brother, and the fourth brother Alan who has also left the White Dragon Kingdom for six years and has not returned yet. For them, although they have not seen each other for six years, But the brotherhood has not faded, on the contrary, it is still like wine, accumulating deeper and deeper.

"Come on, come on, come on, Calvin, let me introduce you."

Angelina stepped in and introduced Arthur and Zyra to Calvin on Gerald's behalf.

"This is eldest brother's fiancée. Look, we are about to have a nephew!"

"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Calvin, and I am the twelfth younger brother of the elder brother."

"Hello, Twelve Brothers."

After talking with Gerald and the others, Calvin handed over the task of inspecting the port to his deputy, and sent someone to help Gerald guard his No. [-] warship.

He personally took Gerald, the three of them, and Angelina to Xiaohe City.

A group of them boarded a tram and set off on the road.

"Brother, this speed is not bad!"

"It's pretty good. When I left, there was no such thing in China!"

Calvin and Gerald chatted about the carriage they were riding in and the rails made of iron and wood on the road under the carriage.

"It's nothing. I heard that the people in the Ministry of Industry are still developing something called a steam engine. By then, not only will there be no need for horses, but the speed will increase by a few notches!
Third sister, my father said what is the name of the vehicle that will be equipped with a steam engine in the future! "

"Train, my father said that the entire Songbai Island will be connected by train in the future, and it will only take half an hour between the farthest cities."

Gerald had to lament that his hometown had changed so much.

Arthur, who was on the side, heard Gerald's younger brother and sister chatting there, and he heard something.

Father, could it be!No wonder Gerald turned a deaf ear to his suggestion. If so, it's time for him to change his mind!
In the White Dragon Kingdom, since Matsurizawa and the others returned from the country of peace, the quality of their soldiers has not improved as much as the Hundred Beasts Pirates.

However, the development in all aspects of the country has stepped up to a higher level.

Let's just talk about the steam engine that is the power source of the train under development, that is the result that is about to come out in the past few years.

Like the track of the horse-drawn carriage that is promoted now, it is actually laying the foundation for the train.

The horse-drawn carriage was really fast. In Gerald's memory, it used to take at least half an hour's journey from Shipwreck County to Xiaohe City, but now it takes only 10 minutes.

If the train is changed, wouldn't it take more than ten minutes? This can be said to connect Xiaohe City with the surrounding counties and towns more closely!

Along the way, Arthur has experienced a lot. He didn't pay attention to how rich and healthy the people in the White Dragon Kingdom are. He just realized that there are so many people!

So far, the White Dragon Kingdom is still a mysterious existence to the world government and navy.

It is even more mysterious than Wano Country, which has always been closed to the outside world.

The reason why Arthur paid attention to the population of the White Dragon Kingdom was because if a country did not have enough population, it would be useless to say anything.

In the past five years, the population of the White Dragon Kingdom has grown explosively. It is not a result of trading, but a natural increase.

Five years ago, the total population of the White Dragon Kingdom was still 160 million, but now the White Dragon Kingdom has more than 200 million people only counting the main island, Songbai Island, and the population of the three satellite islands is 300 million. There are so many.

With the current domestic population, if Gerald doesn't come back by himself, Matsu Rize will go to find him and come back.

Matsurize still doesn't want to launch a war or something to meet the growing domestic population needs, and he still wants to continue to improve the satellite island plan.

In the past five years, in addition to the existing four satellite islands in the original satellite island plan, the other twelve satellite islands have already explored their addresses at sea.

Once all the preliminary work is done, it can be settled when Gerald moves to the island.

In Song Lize's plan, the center of the White Dragon Kingdom is of course Songbai Island, the main island. Surrounding Songbai Island are four existing satellite islands, which are the island of experience, Firebird Island, and three islands of trade, Green Snake Island, Hungry Tiger Island, Snapping Turtle Island.

In the periphery are twelve new satellite islands that have not yet begun to be settled.

After Gerald and his party came to Xiaohe City.

Arthur looked at the turbulent crowd coming and going in Xiaohe City, and he was shocked.

No need to think about it, the mysterious kingdom of the White Dragon Kingdom is far deeper than anyone imagined!

They went to the palace.

Zyra is still a little at a loss, he is not as careful as his father, and has already guessed a little bit of the truth.

It was only when she heard others calling Prince and Princess to Gerald's younger siblings all the way that she realized it.

"Gerald, your siblings are princes and princesses, what about you?"

"Sister-in-law, we are princes and princesses, so is eldest brother. His status is in our country, so he is extremely honorable!"

"Okay, Calvin, I'll say it myself.

Zyra, father-in-law, I haven't told you yet, my name is Matsurize-Gerald, I am the eldest prince of the White Dragon Kingdom, and the first heir.

This time, I brought you here because I came to see my father and mother. "

Before Jiela could be astonished, Matsurizawa, Ayane, and other members of the royal family who got the news had already left the palace to welcome them.

"Gerald, is that Gerald?"

Ayane couldn't wait any longer, and trotted over first, she missed her eldest son so much.

Ayane, who is also 38 years old, like Matsurizawa, can't tell her real age from her appearance.

It seems that he is a few years younger than Matsurize!
"Mother, the child is here."

Ayane stepped forward, grabbed Gerald's hand, and carefully looked at the eldest son who had grown into an adult.

Ayane cast her eyes away, and saw Zyra holding her hand on Gerald's arm, and saw Zyra with a big belly.

"Who is this?"

At this time, Matsu Rize also came over, and Gerald's younger brothers and sisters all came over.

Angelia, the 11-year-old 26-year-old daughter of the Matsurizawa family and the youngest princess of the White Dragon Kingdom, was the most naughty, and spoke for Gerald first.

"Queen, do you still need to guess? She is our future sister-in-law. Look, my sister-in-law has such a big belly."
