One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 656

New World, White Dragon Kingdom, Xiaohe City, the capital, and the main hall where the court meeting is held in the royal palace.

"The minister has a book to play."

El-D-Melon, Chief of Staff of the White Dragon Kingdom's Staff Department, stood up from among the civil and military officials and faced Matsurize.

"Melon, what do you want to play, say."

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that it is time to clean up the situation in the Bailong Sea Region."

"What do you mean, tell me carefully."

"For three years, the Big Mom Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and even the Red-haired Pirates who are the farthest away from us have thought of themselves as the Four Pirates and ignored our country. The invasion of our sea area, coupled with the World Government's navy, is heavily deployed in the New World, and the frequency of invasion of our country is even worse. In such a situation, not only is our country completely blocked, Forced to close the country, it will greatly damage the image and prestige of our country!"

After what Mellon said, all the civil and military officials nodded frequently. Obviously, everyone agreed with Mellon's statement.

However, why has no one dared to make such an opinion after three years, and Mellon, too, took three years to stand up and say this.

In fact, no one knows these truths, but the White Dragon Kingdom is currently the enemy of every eye and the whole world. It is better to just passively defend now. If it takes the initiative to confront all forces head-on, even the White Dragon Kingdom, Including Matsurize himself, none of them actually have the confidence to win!

What if we lose? What if we anger the enemy and cause all the enemies to work together to deal with the White Dragon Kingdom!
This is the concern of the ministers, doesn't Mellon know it!
Who is Mellon, the chief of staff of the staff department, in the White Dragon Kingdom, he has always regarded himself as a think tank, how could he not understand these principles.

Mellon's heart is like a mirror, and now he stands up and says this.

This way, he has found a more perfect way to deal with it, and he has a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning.

Secondly, what he said now was actually not what he wanted to say at the beginning.

In Bailong for so many years, except for the early period of Bailong Kingdom, especially in the last ten years, Mellon has been very low-key.

He has long since lost the ambition of his early years, and his single-mindedness for the public. He can be said to be an official, and he needs to be forced by Matsurizawa before he will move.

What he said now was the reason why he was willing to stand up and say it after Matsurize had a secret conversation with him last night, and he was willing to rack his brains to find a solution.

Rewind the time to last night, March 25, [-] in the lunar calendar.

Just before Mellon was ordered to enter the palace, in the upper study room of the palace harem, Matsurize first received Uub, the minister of the Ministry of Commerce, Uub, and the subordinate of Shangshu Yahalu.

To meet Uub, it was not Matsurize who summoned him on his own initiative, but Uub himself who asked for an audience.

Matsurize was also puzzled, didn't he already met Uub yesterday, just let him cooperate with Ahalu to do things, why did he come to see him again today.

"Ubu, Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, greets His Majesty."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Uub was from a military background, when facing Matsurize, it can be said that he has a little bit of ability to read words and deeds.

"Your Majesty, I have come to ask Your Majesty for help."

"What are you busy with?"

"This morning, Lord Ahalo came to see me and mentioned the matter of breaking the blockade. He said it was an act of bribing the Tianlong people. At present, everything is normal and smooth, but in order to achieve results in the end, there is still a prerequisite. Come and report to Your Majesty, and ask His Majesty to help you."

"What's the premise, tell me."

"Even if there is a way to Roswald St., they didn't dare to conduct business with us blatantly in the early days. Now the Bailong sea area is too tightly blocked."

"what do you mean?"

"It's not what I mean, but Shangshu Ahalo. He said that the garbage in front of the door must be cleaned before we can welcome distinguished guests!"

Facing Uub, Matsurizawa gave him an affirmative answer without hesitation.

"Go back and tell Ahalu to do things with peace of mind. This premise, this service, should have been done. Now is the time. Tell him that the garbage will be cleaned up before his distinguished guests enter the door."

"I must tell Shangshu Ahalo truthfully."

"Go down."

"My minister retire."

Not long after Uub left, Matsurizawa, who was thinking about how to clean up the garbage, how to clear the way for Ahalu and the others, and for the White Dragon Kingdom to have a cleaner international situation, immediately summoned Mei Long, Chief of Staff Mellon.

"Sir El-D-Mellon, see Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live Your Majesty."

Mellon came soon, but Matsurize looked at Mellon in his current appearance, and for a moment, he didn't know whether he should entrust this important task to him.

Looking at Mellon, Matsurizawa actually felt a little regretful. After so many years, he had neglected this old minister a little bit!
Back in the day, Xiaohe-Abin, the troika of the White Dragon Kingdom, the commander of the Dragon Shadow, and the steward of the royal family, did not have the surname Xiaohe at that time.

There is also the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Baritu, and Mellon is the only one left.

These three people are the three biggest heroes besides the military in the early days of the White Dragon Kingdom, and even including military operations, the three of them are also veteran heroes.

These three, Baritu and Abin, all quit the political arena early, and only Melon is still active in the officialdom.

But probably only Matsurize and Mellon knew best. Among the three, it was actually Mellon who suffered the first disaster.

Mellon is nothing now, but in the early White Dragon Kingdom, it was a big deal.

Not only did they share the intelligence agency of the White Dragon Kingdom with Abin, the original Dragon Shadow Commander, but there were also many spies and dead men under his command.

Not to mention, in the early days of the White Dragon Kingdom, the shipbuilding industry was all Mellon's clansmen, and they were able to share the same status as the then Prime Minister Baritu in the entire political arena.

And, that's not all, unlike Abin and Baritu, Mellon has led and fought in the army, and he has a lot of prestige in the army.

Such a Mellon, it can be said that if Matsurize is weaker and does not have a strong military force, it will be a matter of time, and it is not impossible for unpredictable and unimaginable events to happen.

How did Matsu Rize treat Mellon at that time? Matsu Rize's countermeasure was very simple, just one word, procrastination.

Matsurize is very confident, he believes that Melon can't jump out of his palm, he can control this person.

As the White Dragon Kingdom grows stronger, Mellon's threat is no longer a problem.

But doing so would be a pity for Mellon. Mellon and his disciples were left out in the cold.
