One Piece: Dictator of the Empire

next day~

The sun rises.

The entire royal capital seemed to be filled with the smell of an approaching storm.

This feeling is extremely depressing.

As the leader of the civil service, Christopher was keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere.

"strangeness?"

"How come there are so many military police today?"

Some civilians saw an increase in gendarmerie patrols on the streets.

They were talking among themselves.

As a group of ministers who were involved in officialdom, they also reacted accordingly.

They also understand.

It must be that one who is about to make some big move!

On the way to the palace, everyone's mood was particularly heavy.

After all~

The matter about the nobles has just settled down.

All the forces in the country have become like frightened birds.

And there are many of them.

As a protective umbrella for those forces~

They were also afraid that His Majesty Kaldor in the palace would attack them.

As a sacrificial tool to scare the monkeys!

Although~

Each of them is loyal to His Majesty Kaldor.

But~

Everyone has strong desires in their hearts.

Each of them wants to climb up and enjoy the higher scenery.

If they want to have greater power.

That also requires a lot of manpower, material resources and money to support their progress.

and so.

They serve as spokespersons elected by many forces.

Every move they make represents the rise and fall of the Kata Kingdom and its internal forces.

If he ever offends His Majesty Kaldor.

That means their career has come to an end!

And the forces behind him will completely abandon him.

In the hearts of each of them, they want to experience the feeling of being like the party leader, Christopher, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

And things like desire and ambition~

Once a seed is sown in a person's heart, it can never be removed.

just~

they do not know.

This feeling that a storm is coming is not because His Majesty wants to take action against domestic forces.

But ~

I want to show my knife to my next door neighbor.

...............

Inside the palace.

Kaldor, who was sitting on the throne, rarely stopped reviewing documents.

Instead, he looked at the people below quietly with a serious look on his face.

Below~

All the ministers and generals were also silent!

They are waiting for the order from His Majesty Kaldor.

All eyes are looking closely at the man on the throne!

A heavy breath lingers in the sky above the palace...

They all know.

On the throne, His Majesty Kaldor must have some shocking order to issue.

None of them are political novices!

After all~

The things discussed in such a serious atmosphere must not be trivial.

“Our neighbor’s leeks are about to mature~”

"I think~"

"It's time to harvest."

on the throne.

Kaldor said something slowly, which made all the ministers confused about the details.

Only Christopher was standing below, in front of everyone, with his pupils shrinking violently.

"Could it be?..."

In his heart, he couldn't help but think of a possibility.

At this time~

The hairs on his skin stood on end like steel needles.

The whole person feels like falling into an ice cellar ~

His expression was full of horror.

He never expected that His Majesty, to whom he was loyal, would have such a huge appetite!

Isn't his Majesty afraid that the Kata Kingdom will become the target of public criticism?

"Everyone~"

"The Imperial Military and I have decided to take action against these mature leeks from the Kingdom of Ter, the Kingdom of Bodolia, and the Kingdom of William!"

"I am prepared to let the territories of these countries completely become the back gardens of our empire."

"In the future, that place will become the fertile land of our Kata Kingdom!"

"And now~"

"What we in Kata Kingdom have to do is to use the swords in our hands to chop off their whining heads one by one!"

"I want all of us to work together."

"Although~"

"The empire is likely to become the target of public criticism this time!"

"but!"

"This is an order from me, Kaldor."

"Instead of discussing with you."

Kaldor on the throne said indifferently to the ministers below!

His body exuded a cold and evil aura.

It kept rolling towards the people below, shocking everyone's hearts and trembling with fear!

At this time~

The majesty shown by Kaldor is like the majesty of heaven.

But the ministers and generals below the palace were completely shocked.

There was a look of horror in his eyes.

They were shocked by His Majesty Kaldor's ambition.

but!

As ministers who are used to seeing disturbances, they quickly calmed down their inner shock.

"As you command, Your Majesty Kaldor~"

"As you command, Your Majesty Kaldor~"

All the ministers and generals knelt on one knee.

Declaring their loyalty to Kaldor on the throne.

They are loyal to Kaldor.

So~

After a moment of horror.

They calmed down instantly, and they all looked enthusiastically at the majestic figure of the man on the throne.

His inner desires are also growing like weeds.

A large population brings not only huge economic wealth.

It can also bring them a terrifying improvement in their own strength.

And above the throne.

Kaldor looked down at the frenzied ministers.

An interesting smile also appeared on his lips.

this moment~

They are the group that holds the highest power in the empire.

The inner ambition is as hot as fire cooking oil.

"Our country's military should not be so peaceful. Bloody fighting is its only destination."

"We will definitely win this battle."

Kaldor's deep and thick voice continued to echo in the sky above the palace.

Like the devil that arouses ambition and desire in people's hearts.

"roar~"

"roar~"

A group of ministers and generals roared in the hall with red eyes.

They continued to respond to Kaldor's orders with a fanatical attitude.

now.

They have also been completely aroused by Kaldo's demagogic words, their inner desires and ambitions.

"If there is no problem."

"Then let's break up the meeting~"

"When you go back, make a detailed plan for me."

"Everyone~"

"Get ready to arrange the reception!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Kaldor's face.

He spoke slowly to the enthusiastic crowd below.

Then!

He waved to the ministers and generals below and motioned for them to leave first.

From the moment everyone walked out of the palace~

Countless orders and documents were quickly sent from various departments in the royal capital to arsenals in various cities.

And all the foremen of the arsenal, after receiving orders from the ministers,

We also started to seize the time to produce a large amount of military consumable materials.

this moment~

The gears of the huge national war machine of the Kingdom of Kata are also turning quietly.

A stormy atmosphere is coming quietly over the Kata Kingdom~

The spies in Kata Kingdom also smelled something unusual.

"…………………"
