One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 726 Central Square
August [-]st, [-] in the Hai Yuan calendar, today is a good day, especially for the people of Xiaohe City in the White Dragon Kingdom, it is a very lively and good day.

The sky is cloudless, the sky is the same color all day long, and the earth is scorching hot from the sun. However, the people in Xiaohe City did not stay at home because of the scorching heat.

Instead, hordes of people crowded the central square not far from the gate of the palace in Xiaohe City, the largest leisure square, to overcrowding.

The guards who maintain order in the city have been here since before dawn, and have been busy until now, with a workload that is ten times more than usual.

What kind of big day is this? In fact, it's not such an important day. It's just that the graduation assessment for the first batch of students of Bailong Naval Academy is open to the public here.

It's not them who are special, but the people who participated in this grand event. In addition to Zefa and the principals, instructors, and students of the White Dragon Naval Academy, Matsurize led a group of civil and military ministers, princes and relatives to come here.

Right now, most of the crowds crowded in the central square are not for the Bailong Naval Academy.

The Bailong Naval Academy is only an academy for training talents for the navy, and it is actually far away from the general public. People have no reason to pay attention to them.

The reason why there is such a grand scene today is all because of Matsurizawa alone.

As the king and founding monarch of the White Dragon Kingdom, Matsurizawa is the core figure and only one who has established the huge and powerful White Dragon Kingdom.

In the eyes of the Bailong people, the existence of Song Li Ze is sacred, especially for some ordinary people, who regard Song Li Ze as a god-like existence.

In recent years, Matsurizawa has rarely appeared in public. To be precise, public appearances like this one are rare once a year.

The arrival of Matsurize made the Bailong people not excited and excited, and how could they not crowd the central square.

In fact, even if the central square was ten times larger, it would still be crowded on a day like today.

The east side of the central square has been isolated, and it has been set up as a viewing platform, centered on the position where Matsurize will be staying, extending to the left and right, occupying the entire eastern viewing platform of the central square.

The arena set up in the center of the central square facing the viewing platform is the location for the assessment of the first batch of students who will graduate from the White Dragon Naval Academy.

The other three directions are facing the auditorium open to the public. There are also seats in the front position, and tickets are purchased for seats. Based on this, the cost of setting up the venue this time has been recovered.

As for the back position, although it doesn't cost Bailey, the clarity of watching the ring is much worse.

But it’s free, and it’s good to have it. In the beginning, some officials in these places suggested to Matsu Rize that they should also buy tickets for a fee to enter the venue.

Farther away, the only people who could vaguely see the arena in the central square were the nearby residential buildings, high-rise residents, condescending, watching this magnificent scene through their own balconies.

For this reason, some nearby residents have followed the example of the official, buying tickets and selling seats on their balconies!
Not to mention, anyone who does this has earned a considerable amount of Bailey, which is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family of five for several months.

But this kind of people is a minority. Residents of this kind of residential buildings are more likely to invite friends. Although their place is farther than the free location in the central square, they still have a special flavor when they are condescending.

In addition, although the central square is large, it can be as big as it is, and the free seats are full of people in the middle of the night. Many people want to come, but there is no place to go.

Therefore, the people in the residential buildings near the central square, and more people, are calling friends and friends, showing their prestige in front of relatives and friends, and watching the grand scene on the central square in the distance together.

Central square, east side, viewing platform.

The two sides of the viewing platform are full of people at this time, all of them are princes, nobles, ministers of civil and military affairs, and the position near the center is full of the second and third generations of the Matsurize royal family.

Today's Matsurizawa royal family, the first generation of Matsurizawa and Ayane, the second generation of Gerald and others, and the third generation of children, add up, and everyone is almost a hundred.

Among them, it is all thanks to the efforts of Gerald and other second-generation Matsurizawa royal family members in the past three years, and all members of the Matsurizawa royal family can achieve their current scale.

Just like Matsurize-Gerald, the eldest prince of the Matsurize royal family, there are as many as ten people belonging to the third generation of the Matsurize royal family alone.

Ten children. In the royal family, Gerald is second only to his father and queen mother. He is worthy of being the first heir to the throne of the royal family. He shoulders the responsibility of expanding the family blood very well, very well.

But there is also a lot of luck in it. Not long ago, that is, more than a month ago, Gerald obviously only had six children. I don’t want his wife Jiela to be pregnant this October, and she will be quadruplets. The fetus came out.

For this reason, Zyra almost had a dystocia, but it was all worth it.

Because Gerald, who already has ten children, for the first time in the hearts of the Bailong people, his reputation among the people has reached its peak. According to a poll by an unknown newspaper, 80.00% of the Bailong people , It is recognized that Gerald can take on the position of the second generation of White Dragon King in the future.

Take the present as an example. As Gerald's father-in-law, Arthur, who works as the secretary of the household department, came late and came to the central square under the pressure of time.

He was the last one among the officials to arrive here, and all the civil and military officials, princes and nobles got closer to him because of this.

No, here he is, a group of people rushed up, greeted him and took their seats in the viewing platform, and sat with the second-generation princes and princesses of the Matsurize royal family.

When Arthur came, everyone in the central square was only waiting for the arrival of King Matsurize, Queen Ayane, eldest prince Gerald, and fourth prince Allen.

Gerald and Allen, no matter whether they have the identity of the royal family or not, they are one of the best figures in the White Dragon Kingdom, or if they do not have this identity, at the beginning, without the now powerful White Dragon, they will not stay like this Many years!

If this is the case, maybe Fujitora, Leopard, Qinglong, and even the gray bats far away in the paradise will not come into this place of Bailong.

At this time, a group of people gathered on the left and right sides of the ring in the central square.

On one side are the people from the Bailong Naval Academy who came here early in the morning, led by Zefa, and more than 100 students who are about to graduate from the first class stay here.

And opposite them, on the other side of the ring, was a group of people, and this group of people was their opponent today.
