One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 223 Meeting Gift

The island where the Broccoli Kingdom is located is a spring island. The suitable climate makes it extremely suitable for plant growth. It is a well-known agricultural country. Some of the surrounding relatively barren islands will purchase food from here.

The king and nobles of Broccoli Kingdom are the largest landlords in the country. More than 90 percent of the land in the country belongs to the royal family and nobles, and the people are just their tenants.

The royal family and the nobility oppressed the lower classes of the people and seized the fruits of their labor for their own enjoyment.

But all this changed more than two years ago.

I don’t know when it started, but those people who were originally oppressed, bound in manors, and worked for them day and night, actually began to resist!

At first it was just a few people, then a few farms, then a few cities, until it swept the entire country!

It just reduced their food rations and increased their working hours.

We are not going to kill them directly, but these untouchables actually dared to resist!

Moreover, these lowly peasants received help from somewhere. Not only were they taught how to fight, but they were also provided with weapons and ammunition in large quantities. The scope of this battle became wider and wider, and it has not been able to be ended until now.

Broccoli Country, Northern Town, Kilgare.

This is the rebels' forward base and the largest town they have occupied so far.

"The King's Army has retreated!"

In the temporary command center, several people sat around a square table with a map of Broccoli Country on the table.

More than two years have passed since the uprising, and they have created a huge momentum in the country, especially in the north of the country, where a large number of towns have responded. Even in the battle with the kingdom's army, both sides have won and lost.

Especially in recent times, it can be clearly felt that the offensive of the King's Army has slowed down, which has allowed them to advance with great speed and even break through the important northern town of Kilga.

As long as you cross this important northern city, the next place is the richest southern region in the entire kingdom.

“I don’t know why, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

The rebel leader, Sanka, slammed the table hard.

He was originally just a tenant farmer on a plantation in the north. He couldn't stand the abuse of the farmer any more, so he gathered a group of people to rise up in resistance. Unexpectedly, as soon as he made his move, people from the surrounding farms responded one after another, and he soon gained a huge momentum.

Not only that, there were also some people from overseas who had been helping him, not only teaching him how to fight, but also providing them with a large amount of guns and ammunition.

"That's right, let's seize the opportunity and fight all the way to the capital!"

Another small rebel leader, Kalima, responded immediately.

No matter why the Kingdom Army suddenly retreated, now that they have found the opportunity, they must not let it go.

They will never be driven like cattle again!
Day after day, they repeated the same work, working in the fields, but they could not eat any of the food they had carefully prepared. They could only get some unknown food to barely fill their stomachs.

This is not reasonable!
They deserve more!

It is they who cultivate this land and contribute to this country. They should be the masters of this country, not the royal family and nobles within the palace walls.

"Take action!"

"Yes, let's fight to the death!"

"···"

Sanka's eyes swept across the faces of his comrades in front of him. He could clearly see the determination in their eyes, and his heart gradually became firm.

"In that case..."

Sanka slowly raised his arm and clenched his fist.

"Let us make this country what it is!"

···
In the important northern city of Kilga, when the rebels made the decision to attack, the king and nobles of the Broccoli Kingdom's capital also welcomed their reinforcements.

"I didn't expect that King Jiazhi would lead the team himself. What an honor!"

Broccoli King Manuli III looked at the visitor with a little surprise.

Vinsmoke Judge, the patriarch of the Vinsmoke Family and the king of the Germa Kingdom, is also a member of the World Government. Manuli III had met him before at the previous Ignorance State Conference.

"However, the rebellion in our country has indeed become a trend. Only someone like King Jiazhi can personally take action to make me feel at ease."

Germa 66 was founded more than three hundred years ago, and the Germa Kingdom once dominated the North Sea, being a well-deserved giant.

Vinsmoke Judge, the current patriarch and king of the Germa Kingdom, once killed the kings of the four North Sea countries and became famous throughout the world.

Seeing the other party come forward in person, Manuli III was indeed relieved.

"Take action?"

The tall Judge glanced at the Broccoli King in front of him. He looked down upon this man who couldn't even resolve the rebellion in his country.

"Just leave this kind of low-level battle to my reliable sons."

The smile on Manuli III's face stiffened a little, and then he looked at the young men following behind Judge, his tone slightly hesitant.

"They... probably haven't reached adulthood yet."

Before deciding to hire Germa 66, Manuli III also learned about their situation.

King Gachi's three sons should be only 16 years old this year.

His eldest daughter, however, is already 19 years old this year.

Can a task like suppressing a rebellion really be left to these young men?

"what are you talking about."

Judge snatched the bottle from Manuli III's hand with a bit of rudeness, clinked it with the glass in his hand, then raised his head and took a sip to show that the two sides had reached a cooperation agreement.

"They are my sons, just rebels. They can be dealt with in two days at most!"

Behind Judge, the three sons with colorful hair showed confident smiles on their faces at the right time.

This will be the first time they will lead a team independently to complete a mission.

It will definitely be a good fight!

"You just need to prepare the reward!"

After leaving a few words, Judge turned around and left the palace with his children, heading towards their own palace.

Germa's snail ship can not only cross the sea, but also march freely on land.

Looking at Judge's departing back, Manuli III clenched the wine glass in his hand with an unsightly look on his face.

Rude, disrespectful, and barbaric!

It is really disgraceful that such a person can attend the World Conference as a king!
Manuli III opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Teams of soldiers suddenly appeared from out of his sight and guarded around Judge and his men. The strong and energetic soldiers made Manuli III swallow the words on his lips.

"Humph! They are just soldiers hired by me!"

He was a king, but he could only fight with hired soldiers. It was no big deal.

Manuli III comforted himself in this way, and then put down the wine glass in his hand. ···
New World, Baldigo.

This is an island of white soil and the headquarters of the revolutionary army.

"The people of Broccoli Country have organized themselves to resist the king's rule. After we provided them with a batch of weapons and taught them some knowledge, they have gained the upper hand in the battle with the king's army. Judging from the current situation, their revolution is about to succeed."

In a room, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army was reporting to the leader Drago.

There are many unreasonable things in this world, and the biggest unreasonable thing is the exploitation of the lower class by the upper class.

It was precisely because he saw so many unreasonable things that Dragon left the navy and then established the Revolutionary Army with many like-minded partners.

At the beginning, they were called the Self-Defense Forces, and they actively led people around the world to resist unreasonable rule.

However, after experiencing countless failures, Dorag discovered that even if they led the local people to rise up in resistance and overthrow the original rule, a new ruling class would soon emerge, and everything would return to the starting point. Except for the change in the top ruler, nothing else would change.

So after that, they changed their approach.

Nowadays, they rarely take the initiative to participate in battles, but are more likely to provide help to the oppressed, including weapons and ideological help, so that they can overthrow the original rule with their own hands and change the status quo.

The same is true in Broccoli Nation.

Only when the people themselves awaken and take up arms to overthrow the original rule, will they truly change the country and truly become the masters of the country.

"Yes, wait until they complete the revolution and establish a new regime before contacting them."

Dorag nodded.

The Broccoli Country is an important food producer, and establishing good relations with them is very important for the Revolutionary Army.

If we could buy a large amount of food from there every year, we could solve some of the problems of the revolutionary army.

After all, there are too many people who are homeless and hungry because of the oppression of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government!
···
"This time, the target is Broccoli Country."

A scaled-down version of the Polaris was moving across the sea.

These are some of the ships built by new shipbuilders after the reorganization of Thomas Shipyard.

The ship is not very big and can probably accommodate about 100 people. Its overall shape is almost the same as that of the Polaris.

This is a pirate ship that only the cadres of the Rod Pirates are qualified to equip. When they have some missions that require them to travel, they will drive a pirate ship that is similar to the Polaris, but slightly different.

This pirate ship doesn't look much different from the Polaris, the only difference is its main gun.

“This is a big agricultural country.”

On the deck, Pekin was looking through some documents.

After several months, the islands and countries that were originally occupied have been back on track. After factories were put into production, the voices of dissatisfaction that had existed before quickly disappeared, and the lives of those people were getting better and better.

Not only that, every branch of the security company receives countless inquiries every day.

"Are you still hiring?!"

This is the most common question everyone hears every day.

The people's hearts are there, and the time is ripe for continued expansion!
This time, Pekin and his team's target is the Broccoli Country, which is not too far from Dressrosa.

“It’s also a country with a large population.”

Xia Qi took over the conversation, recalling the information Robin had sorted out for them before they set out.

"According to the information provided by Robin, the population of this country is nearly one million."

“It is indeed a rare great power!”

According to the cooperation agreement with the security company, the security fee alone for a population of nearly one million will cost 500 billion Beli each year.

Not to mention that with such a large population base, they have great hope of recruiting a large number of people to join here.

Of the ten thousand people recruited before, one thousand elite soldiers were selected and have now been incorporated into Greenbit. They also brought some of them with them on this operation. Some of the best of them have already become considerable forces.

As long as they continue to maintain this pattern, the Rod Pirates will soon have a group of elite grassroots forces.

"Once this expansion is over and the environment settles down for a while, a group of capable people will soon join us."

In the sight of Peikin and Xiaqi, an island gradually enlarged.

But why are there screams and wails drifting over on the sea breeze?

There was also a strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, along with the screams.

"Sure enough, things won't go so smoothly."

Pei Jin and Xia Qi looked at each other, then gave instructions to the people who followed them on the boat.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!"

After hearing the order, the faces of the members on the ship gradually became excited.

Boss Rhodes has said that those who perform well can get rewards, whether it is a famous sword, a sharp weapon, or even a devil fruit as a reward!
Unexpected situations are opportunities for them!
"There is a ship with a strange shape, like a snail!"

The lookout on the mast reported what he saw to Pekin on deck.

"snails?"

Pei Jin's eyes moved, and he took a telescope and looked into the distance.

On the coast, there were several huge ships, and just as the lookout had said, their hulls were as sized as snails.

Just as they discovered each other, the other side also discovered Pekin and his pirate ship, turned the ship and took a defensive stance.

"Is it them?"

"Yes, they are the only ones in the world that have this kind of snail boat."

Pei Jin and Xia Qi looked at each other and saw the intention in each other's eyes.

"Germa 66!"

This is a story that is popular in the North Sea, and it is also a real country.

They were also opponents they had dealt with before.

"I didn't expect to see you again in the New World. If that's the case, it would be a shame not to say hello."

"Brothers, set up the artillery!"

Following the instructions of Pekin and Xia Qi, the main gun on the bow was moved over. The thick gun barrel was made of the new material provided by Gray. It has super performance and will not explode even if it is subjected to a severe explosion.

Pekin placed a huge cannonball into the barrel. It was a special cannonball with some of his hair fragments blended into it. With the power of his fruit, it had a power far beyond ordinary.

Xia Qi put his hand on the main gun. With his ability, the main gun expanded instantly and then returned to normal. After repeating this process several times, a very terrifying pressure had been stored in the barrel.

"High pressure explosion!"

The pressure stored in the barrel was released instantly, and with a loud roar, the shell whizzed towards the snail ship of Germa 66. The moment it approached, the shell suddenly expanded violently, and then made an even more terrifying roar. The violent explosion instantly submerged several snail ships.
