Arkham in the pirate world

Cessna Island, under the bustling night, is brightly lit. Viewed from above, Cessna Island is gradually brightened from east to west. The old city and the new city will become particularly distinct at night. The lights of the new city and the old city The darkness forms a strong contrast.

On the city wall in the night, Liszt held his hands behind his back, half illuminated by light and half in darkness.

"The renovation of the old city is progressing so slowly. Are those stubborn households still unwilling to move out?"

Liszt turned his head and glanced at the black old city.

"There are some local residents who find it difficult to leave their homeland and are unwilling to move, especially some elderly people, who are too stubborn." The person in charge of the old city renovation is hard to say.

"The renovation of the old city is not to build a new city entirely, but to renovate and maintain the original Cessna City. The benefits are obvious."

Liszt narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Perhaps, these people think that I am easy to bully so they can take advantage of me. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense."

Early in the morning, members of the Justice League such as Sagres, Queeraverdi, and Enrique Dias drove into the old city carrying shovels, shovels and other tools.

"What are you going to do?"

"Get out of my house"

Several people from the security team laughed and carried the owner of the house. When they came out, they saw their literate companions holding a large white pen and writing the word "Demolish" on the wall, and then drew a circle, and then Sagre Si spat into his fist and punched it out. The dilapidated house collapsed with smoke and dust flying into the sky.

This scene can be seen everywhere in the old city today.

The Justice League transformed into a demolition brigade. Houses collapsed wherever they went. Anyone who dared to resist was taken out and sent to the temporary prison of the security team for obstructing the work of the city hall.

When Vespucci returned, the old city had been razed to the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Vespucci angrily questioned Sagres and the others.

"Of course what we were doing was demolishing the house," said Enrique Dias.

"Who allowed you to do this?" Vespucci was a little angry.

"Who's allowed to feed you, old guy, haven't you figured out the situation yet? On Cessna Island now, who has the final say about what you are? Are you here to dictate?" Quiellavidi snorted disdainfully.

"Lister"

Vespucci said angrily: "I'm going to find him."

"Go to those who only cling to the sorrow of the past and will never know how to move forward. It seems tragic, but it is just self-pity and self-pity," Enrique Dias said loudly,

Vespucci turned around suddenly, glared ferociously at Enrique Diaz with his one eye, jumped up, and punched him with a punch.

This

Enrique Dias drew his sword and blocked Vespucci's fist.

"The wheel of the times is always moving forward. Those who only stay in the past will only be eliminated by the times."

Enrique Dias said, pushing Vespucci back seven or eight steps with a strong push.

After Vespucci landed, he clutched his chest and coughed twice. Very few people knew that Vespucci had been suffering from an old illness. He often drank, not only to relieve his sorrow, but also to use alcohol to numb his pain.

Enrique Diaz returned the sword to its sheath and said: "Vulnerable"

Vespucci spit out blood, and the one eye under his messy hair glanced coldly at Enrique Diaz. He took a deep breath, and his figure disappeared in an instant. The next moment, only a "boom" was heard, and Enrique Diaz Ash was smashed into the ground.

"Cough cough" Vespucci raised his fist and coughed hard.

Sagres and Queeravidi glanced at him. This guy seemed to be dying every time he took action, but he didn't die.

"hateful"

Enrique Dias crawled out of the pit and cursed angrily, shaking his clothes and saying: "You sick and drunkard, I'm just telling you the truth, why are you angry with me?"

Vespucci looked at him, coughed and said, "I'll go find Liszt."

"If you want to go, just go, that's your right," Sagres said calmly.

They came to demolish the old city. It was Liszt’s order. Can Vespucci change Liszt’s decision?

Unlikely.

Vespucci came to Liszt angrily, and Liszt was not surprised that Vespucci would come.

"You asked them to demolish the entire old city?" Vespucci asked.

Liszt looked at the document and said, "You know it, so why bother asking? Do you have anything else to do? If not, please don't disturb my work."

"Why" Vespucci asked.

"what why"

"We must destroy this place and destroy the peace here." Vespucci looked painful and ferocious.

Liszt put down the document, looked at Vespucci, and said: "In this world of tranquility, is there a place for peace? Is it your tranquility, the tranquility of the residents of Cessna Island, or is it something else that destroys tranquility?"

Liszt stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and said to Vespucci: "Look outside. If I want to destroy it, what do you call peace? Could it be that pirates are rampant and gangsters are everywhere? Thugs, the peace of the people who are in dire straits is the peace of the country that was destroyed by Doflamingo. The past is certainly worth remembering, but who can live in the past?"

"Enough is enough about people like you. What's the difference between you and Doflamingo? You talk about benevolence and morality, but in your heart you only have selfish desires and ambitions. You have never really cared about the people. The care you say is just crocodile tears. , Just because they are still useful, your conspiracy will not succeed. I, as well as the people of the Cessna Kingdom, are guarding this island, and we will definitely fight to the end," Vespucci said loudly.

"Conspiracy to resist, hahaha, Vespucci, should I say you are naive or selfish? Okay, then let me see your struggle."

Vespucci slammed the door and left.

Liszt shook his head and smiled.

Peresromu walked out of the office, frowned slightly and said: "I didn't expect that he has become so stubborn and stubborn now. I still remember his glory and high spirits when he was the commander of the Cessna Island Guards. He is elegant in conversation, knowledgeable and admirable.”

"From a general of a country to a notorious pirate, there is a huge gap that not everyone can bear."

Liszt said: "Besides, time can change people the most, making people grow, mature, grow old, and die. So what's so strange about making a person stubborn and stubborn?"

"Actually, I can understand the pain of a general like him who is loyal to his country after the country's subjugation. He doesn't want to leave Cessna Island and see the old city being transformed, just to keep the last thoughts in his heart and keep a trace of it. The hope of restoring the country, and this thought and hope is probably the motivation for him to live."

Liszt said calmly: "However, this does not mean that I will compromise. If the veteran does not die, then let him die vigorously. Perhaps, history can still write a colorful chapter, the loyal minister of the Cessna Kingdom."

"If possible, I still hope you can forgive him, he is just a poor old man." Peresromyu sighed.

"As a condition, what about our previous agreement, even if it is completed?"

Liszt glanced at him. In fact, Peresromou had already started handling the affairs of the Security Bureau. The two sides had just discussed the rights and responsibilities of the Security Bureau. However, geniuses are probably a little arrogant at heart.

"Can"

After Vespucci left the city hall, he came to the old city. Some old people who knew him took the initiative to gather around him.

"General"

"General, what should we do now?"

"Yes, General"

These old men were all soldiers of the Cessna Kingdom's Guards.

After the fall of the Cessna Kingdom, they disbanded and returned to their fields, living in seclusion and seeking survival. However, with the influx of pirates, in order to protect their families, these old people found Vespucci, reunited under his command, and formed an Israelite clan. A loosely managed underground force dominated by veterans of the Sina Kingdom.

Because everyone just cuddles together to keep warm and protect themselves and their families, the reputation of this force is not obvious.

A large part of the reason for the slow progress of the renovation of the old city is that these people are colluding and constantly obstructing it.

And these people are not doing it for money, but to protect the "home" in their minds. This "home" is not a "home" in reality, but a spiritual "home".

As long as their homeland remains, they will still have a sense of honor in their hearts. They were once warriors of the Cessna Kingdom.

After they go out, they can hold their heads high and walk with great strides. They can tell their descendants about their past glory, and they can proudly say that they are Cessna people.

Once their home is gone and the last traces of the Cessna Kingdom are erased, what else will they have?

They will become a group of lonely ghosts without a "home".

Because they are all over fifty years old and dying, the prosperity and wealth in the minds of young people are meaningless to them. The remaining wealth is just the past that can be remembered. .

That's why they fight the city hall

No, they are fighting against time and the wheel of history.

Vespucci glanced at the once heroic subordinates with his single eye. As the years passed, their backs were crushed by life and their hair turned gray.

"General, you make the decision and we will follow you."

"General"

Vespucci saw trust, reverence, etc. in their eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Disband."

"Um"

"General, go with them."

"Yes, General"

Amid the noisy discussion, Vespucci shook his head slightly and said: "Disbanded, go back to find your wives, children and granddaughters. The city hall will be here to rebuild a city. You can still live well. Cessna Kingdom , it’s already the past, it’s already history.”

"General, we can still restore our country."

"That's right, as long as we find the bloodline of the royal family."

"I said." Vespucci suddenly raised his voice, suppressing everyone's voices. He glanced coldly with his single eye, and everyone he saw lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look directly at him.

"Disbanded"

Everyone subconsciously responded: "Yes"

Vespucci walked forward, and the crowd took the initiative to part ways, making way for him and watching him leave.

"Oh, what should I do now?"

"What else can we do? Our family is gone and the general has given in. What else can we do? Disband. My grandson just found a clerical job in the city hall. Now everyone in the family is quarreling with me. They are afraid that he will lose his job."

"It's gone, it's gone. In fact, the conditions of the city hall are also good. I heard that the old city will retain some of the Cessna City style."

"Yeah"

"I heard what my daughter said. She works as a croupier in a casino."

"Really? My son also works in a casino. He just met a girlfriend. He hopes to get married this year and give birth to a fat boy as soon as possible for me to hold."

The people gathered together quickly dispersed like an ebbing tide.

Without the leadership of the core figures, these people are just a mess and cannot make any waves at all.

As the leader, Vespucci came alone to a place that could be vaguely identified as the palace of King Cessna. He dug out a ruined stone from the soil that had weathered traces after it collapsed.

The rough palms rubbed the stones, and Vespucci stared at it. After a long time, he straightened up, already a little stooped, and went straight to the place where there was a piece buried in the soil as a mark, and dug out a box from underneath.

After removing the soil from the box, Vespucci opened the wooden box. Inside was a set of armor that he wore when he was a general of the Cessna Kingdom, and there was a row of medals on it.

As a non-member of the World Government, the Kingdom of Cessna will face attacks from pirates at any time. It is under such a difficult environment that the Cessna people, who are all warlike and strive for the first place, were born. Under the leadership of a general Next, he repeatedly won foreign wars, making the Kingdom of Cessna famous among surrounding countries. Such achievements also earned the general the name "Victorious".

However, because of this reputation, the Kingdom of Cessna gradually became wary of neighboring countries. Coupled with the instigation of discord by the Don Quixote family, the Kingdom of Cessna was jointly besieged by the surrounding countries.

Although the general resisted the multinational coalition forces by himself, he still could not escape the fate of national subjugation.

Because when he led the army to attack the multinational coalition, the island's defenses were empty, and the Don Quixote family took the opportunity to sneak in and attack the palace.

After hearing the news, the Cessna King's troops were in great disarray. Faced with the attacks from the multinational coalition and the Don Quixote family, they were helpless.

Overnight, the Cessna Kingdom was destroyed

The general, however, disappeared during the battle. Rumor has it that he died heroically and sank with the ship. There are also rumors that he is still alive.

In fact, the general was about to commit suicide, but was dragged by his subordinates, fell into the water, and drifted with the current, and narrowly escaped with his life.

And this is Vespucci's experience.
