That is to say, not long after Kuro was on his way to Wano Country, three large warships were sailing in the sea not far from the border of Dressrosa's influence.
The sky over this sea area was gloomy, raindrops were falling, and without any shelter, the wind was also whipping up the waves and hitting them on the hull of the warship.
The three warships formed a triangle. On the deck of the large warship, a man wearing a navy cape put down the telescope in his hand, revealed a resolute face and a distinctive beard, and said: "Quickly
arrive"
Beside him, a man with a sexy moustache stared ahead and nodded slowly: "The Ancient Kingdom of Liguoli, the destination of our trip, also happens to be an outpost for Dressrosa to check out the situation.
.”
"Deal with the pirates first, this is our duty." The bearded man said solemnly.
"That's right." Mustache nodded in agreement.
These two people were none other than Greg Kass and Brownhardt Wilbur.
They were originally patrolling the territory of Dressrosa, and then they received news that a pirate invasion had occurred in a place called the Liguoli Ancient Kingdom. They happened to be nearby, so they went directly there.
At the same time, as the decision-makers behind Dressrosa, they are also obliged to decide the next force that Dressrosa will conquer, which is the so-called ‘stepping point’.
This situation happened in the Liguli Ancient Kingdom, which naturally attracted their attention.
This place is located above the border of Dressrosa's influence. It is a non-franchised country. Specifically, it is an archipelago. However, except for the main island, the remaining islands are very small and widely distributed. Not many people live there, so they can be ignored.
Regardless. The main island is like a sledgehammer, with a long top like a hammer handle and a hammer body below.
Wilbur said: "Liguligu is a pretty good country. Its planting industry is very good and it is world-famous for its high-quality corn and bananas. The upper kings and nobles are also good to the common people and give them sufficient food and property. There is one thing.
, are often invaded by pirates, which is related to the fact that they are not a member country. If possible, the king may accept our theory and become part of the 'German state'."
They have information about this kingdom. It is a rich country and they are living a good life. The common people are very wealthy. Although the land belongs to the nobles, they have given full rewards, but pirates invade too frequently.
, they come here from time to time, and this time too, according to the intelligence, the scale is quite large.
Such a country is something that Dressrosa can win over. Even if it cannot win over, it is not the first target to deal with. Helping them is just a matter of course.
Who told them to be the navy?
Wilbur looked ahead. The three warships moved forward quickly, breaking through the clouds and rain, and saw the island that looked like a sledgehammer, and said: "We're here."
Cass stretched out his hand, and a nearby Marine, Greg, ran over and handed the phone to him in a straight posture.
He picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, prepare to fight."
The three warships made no sound, but the navy inside all drew their weapons in unison. They were silent, but full of power.
Three large warships, each can accommodate 800 people, with a limit of 1,000 people.
Cass and Wilbur, who inherited Clow's policy, naturally organized the organization according to a thousand people. Their number was enough because they obtained Vinsmoke's technology, and took Vinsmoke and
The reserved clones, after being baptized by Kass, can serve as the navy if they enter, or as soldiers of Dressrosa if they retire.
With these three thousand people, we can go anywhere.
The three warships quickly approached the Long Hammer Island. Under the rain, they could still see the flames burning in some parts of the island.
Wilbur frowned, picked up the phone and said: "Pirate ships were discovered at two o'clock, shelling, and preparations for landing."
In their field of vision, there happened to be a docked pirate ship in that direction.
The three warships turned quickly. The leading warship extended its main gun, and the other two ships deployed their cannons on the side of the hull.
Boom boom boom!!
The cannonballs were blasted out in the rain and hit the pirate ship intensively, instantly smashing the pirate ship to pieces.
"Log in!"
Following Wilbur's words, the three warships approached the shoal near the pirate ship, and the Gregorian naval brigade surged down like a tidal wave toward the dilapidated pirate ship.
This pirate ship was guarded by pirates. Two pirates were not killed. As soon as they jumped out from the pirate ship, they were immediately surrounded by the navy.
A pirate wearing a turban shouted in disbelief: "Sea, navy?! Why is there a navy?"
The other pirate, who seemed to have had his arm blown off, opened his eyes wide and looked at Cass and Wilbur who were approaching with a large force in front of him, and said in horror: "It's a 'giant shield' and a 'big gun'.
Why are you two here? This is not Dressrosa, or even a member of the World Government!"
They are quite famous in the New World.
"If we are not a member country, the navy has no obligation to deal with pirates?"
Cass came over, looked down at them, and said: "Evil is evil wherever it is. It has nothing to do with the place. If you encounter it, you must take care of it."
With that said, he stretched out his hand and ordered them to be executed.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I said, I will say anything, don't kill me!" the Broken Arm Pirate said immediately.
say what?
Wilbur stretched out his hand to stop Cass' order and said, "Wait a minute, Cass, let's see what they say."
Cass frowned and said: "If you have anything to say, just kill the pirates."
The Broken Arm Pirate shouted: "I am not a pirate, no! We are also the native people of the Liguli Ancient Kingdom. We just came here to rob under orders from above!"
As soon as these words came out, Cass and Wilbur opened their eyes wide. Wilbur stepped forward, grabbed the armless pirate by the collar, lifted him up, and said fiercely: "What do you mean! You are not pirates."
thief?!"
"No, we were originally from the royal army, but were later selected by the nobles to become 'pirates'. These pirate ships were just disguised and hung a flag. The adults promised us that they would give us 10% of the money they grabbed.
"
boom!
There was no need for him to say any more. Wilbur was so excited that he punched the pirate hard into the shallow soil. He pulled out his saber and stabbed the turbaned pirate to death.
Wilbur's neck turned red with excitement, his veins were exposed, and he shouted: "They are evil, despicable people who rely on lies to rule this country!!"
Needless to say, they have been in contact with so many countries and they quickly realized what the nature of this country is.
The upper-class nobles use welfare to make the common people feel that this country is good. Even if they are robbed by pirates, it is not their fault, and those 'pirates' are just black gloves raised by the nobles. They plunder the wealth of the common people and then return it to the nobles.
, this is better than direct exploitation. The civilians cannot blame them, then there will be no riots, and they will have stable wealth, and at the same time they can support the pirate group to rob other places.
Raindrops fell on Wilbur, and at this moment, he felt cold in his heart.
Dressrosa has conquered so many countries, killed so many nobles, some are collecting taxes crazily, some are selling civilians in their own countries, and some are doing whatever they want without taking human lives, but none of these can compare with the despicability of this country.
compared to!
Wilbur could imagine that after the common people suffered the plunder of the 'pirates', the nobles would come to comfort them, give them hope, and give them the motivation to live and accumulate wealth again.
Then, just like leeks, after they grow, continue cutting.
They will live in this "field" forever.
Under the rain curtain, Cass stared at the corpses of the two pirates, and then said slowly: "This is the greatest evil!"
