Ignite the fire from the pirates

He created a shadow clone to calm down, and the main body went directly to the East China Sea to learn swordsmanship again.

After two days, I seem to have a slightly different feeling. It's too short to verify it, but judging from my experience after being strengthened with the Spirit Attribute Card many times, it shouldn't be an illusion.

……

Time passed again. Half a month later, Kevin had to set sail again. It would take some time for him to finish his swordsmanship training in the East China Sea.

After all, Kuzan is not one of them yet, and even if he is, Kevin doesn't want him to know his identity.

"I heard you've been practicing swordplay recently?"

Kevin, who was sitting quietly, glanced at Kuzan and said, "If you know, could you please not disturb me? I finally calmed down a little while ago, but you lost your sense of calmness as soon as you started talking."

Kuzan, who occupied Kevin's recliner, replied: "There are many strong men on this sea. Mihawk, the navy hunter who has gained fame recently, is a great swordsman. The strongest man Whitebeard uses a sword, and the Pirate King also used a sword. But this does not mean that only those who use swords can be the strongest."

"Your age and past methods have already been fixed. Trying hard may have some effect, but it will definitely not reach the level of coordination between your Haki and Six Styles. It is better to strengthen your original attack methods instead of wasting time. This is my advice to you."

Kevin said unhappily, "Go to sleep if you have nothing to do. If you don't want to sleep, give me back my recliner."

Kuzan spread his hands and pulled down his blindfold to stop disturbing him.

I have said what I need to say. How I decide is a personal matter. As for sleeping, I just don't want to see the dark world in front of me.

He couldn't calm down anymore.

Every time I close my eyes, the words in the book will come to my mind. When I compare them with this world, I find that what they say is very true.

Perhaps I have begun to doubt the justice of the navy.

All oppression comes from irrationality, and all oppression will eventually lead to resistance.

All oppressed people around the world, unite! This world will never belong to those in power!

Are you oppressed?

At that time, I was also one of the oppressed people because I carried a net to catch fish every day.

In the New World, the BiGMOM Pirates have planned their base, and Kaido seems to be almost ready in Wano Country.

According to the Navy's intelligence, BiGMOM's Ten Thousand Nations will shelter ordinary people, but the price is that the sheltered people need to hand over a portion of their lifespan as a price, which must be paid every year.

Life span...

In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps being able to survive is the most important thing.

In the future, if you open your eyes every day and don’t know whether you can survive the next day, then what does life mean?

"Kevin, what do you think oppression is?"

Kevin, who was sitting in meditation, stood up suddenly, and his meditation was gone again.

In my memory, this bastard is not so talkative. He looks like he hasn't woken up yet every day. How come he is so talkative now?

After thinking for a while, Kevin sat down again and did not continue his practice. Instead, he asked, "Do you think that not being able to survive is considered oppression? Are the corpses we have seen in the past year or so unable to survive because of oppression?"

Kuzan: "Yes. The oppressed can't survive anymore, so they choose to stand up and resist. Ordinary people just want to survive, but even this is very difficult."

"I remember when I was a kid in the South China Sea, life was not easy at that time, but we were still able to survive. At least there were not as many pirates as there are now. Every day, we only had to think about how to make more money to ensure that our family could pay the Tianshangjin."

After he finished speaking, Kuzan turned over and lay on his side on the recliner and fell asleep.

He didn't say anything else because he wanted to be quiet.

……

Meanwhile, Mary Joa, between powers.

"The collection of gold from heaven is about to begin."

"CP is still responsible for the protection."

"The preliminary statistics are slightly lower than last time."

“Are the bug populations decreasing?”

"That was indeed the report given, but CP0's investigation found something else."

"There are five member states whose populations have decreased. All of these five states experienced coups this year, and the old kings died in the coups. The new kings promised to continue paying the Heavenly Gold."

"It's not surprising that some bugs died during the coup."

"But according to CP0's investigation, there seems to be a shadow of the revolutionary army in these five countries."

"Revolutionary Army?"

“It has come up in reports before, but we didn’t pay much attention to it.”

"Let the CP's intelligence department conduct further investigations on this revolutionary army. We also need to find out whether the coups in the other five countries are related to him."

"Seconded."

"The other thing is the trap in the Sabaody Archipelago. That guy hasn't appeared in more than a year."

"Mary Joa is also relaxed up there."

"The Sabaody Archipelago is too dangerous. If one more person dies, the Knights of God will also inquire about it."

"Then use real bait."

There was silence among the people in power for a moment, and the other four people knew very well what the real bait meant.

For more than a year, the Celestial Dragons who visited the Sabaody Archipelago were not real Celestial Dragons, and no one acknowledged that they were Celestial Dragons.

It's just the same clothes, the same slaves, and the same World Government guards.

But the cloaked man hadn't appeared for more than a year, and it was obvious that the other party had known something.

"That person has developed the ability of the Teleportation Fruit, which has threatened Marijoa's safety to a certain extent."

"The death of Samit Saint also shows the hatred of the other party. Mary Joa may be his real target."

"Only one person can come down from the Sabaody Archipelago every day. You can let the Knights of God notify you."

"When fishing with real bait, the fish must be hooked."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Chapter 83: Oikot Kingdom

East China Sea, Kingdom of Oikot.

The work remains the same as before, and as a member state, the people of this country need to pay high heavenly gold for their own safety.

But no one complained, because compared to the tragic situation of non-member countries being invaded by pirates, they were willing and had to accept the physical fatigue.

At this moment, the sound of artillery fire was heard from the port.

Soon, the roar of explosions and the shaking of the ground caused chaos for everyone near the port.

The guards stationed at the port were killed one after another, and those who escaped ran towards the palace.

"Little ones! Now it's your turn!"

On the six large pirate ships, the crazy pirates began to burn, kill and loot wantonly as soon as they landed.

Perhaps they were just gangsters from an island in the East China Sea. They restrained themselves out of fear at the beginning, but after becoming pirates, they had their own explanations.

For the sake of freedom, freedom to kill and plunder, freedom to build pleasure on the suffering of the weaker.

As for the Grand Route?

Why would you go to that kind of place?

Aren’t these ordinary civilians fun? Going to the Grand Line to risk your life is a choice only a fool would make!

For a time, the entire Oikot Kingdom was in chaos. A small number of guards were dispatched, but after the army leader was killed by the enemy, the entire guard was defeated by fear.

Flames and blood intertwined, and the Kingdom of Oikot, which had been peaceful a few hours ago, was now completely unrecognizable.

Citizens died one by one, but the gates of the palace remained closed.

One day, two days, three days, the three days outside the palace became a real lawless zone.

The man's roar disappeared on the first day, and the woman's wailing and pleading no longer sounded on the second day.

On the third day, all the pirates were satisfied, their red eyes filled with the state of wild beasts.

At this moment, they even forgot that they were human.

It was also on this day that the rescue team of the East China Sea Naval Branch finally arrived. At the same time, the royal palace, which had been impossible to attack, also opened its gates. The king's long-reserved forces rushed out and cooperated with the navy to start exterminating the pirates.

The battle lasted for three days, and the pirates' strength seemed to exceed King Oikot's expectations.

In the palace.

"You must! You must drive the pirates out of my country. We have paid the Heavenly Gold and are a member state! This is the obligation of your navy!"

The king was very angry and questioned the branch colonel in front of him.

However, the other party was not impatient: "No one expected their fighting power to be so tenacious, right? In addition, you seem to have forgotten our agreement and delayed arriving until three days ago. Didn't you let us do this?"

"boom."

The king slapped the armrest and said, "I only asked you to come back in one day, not three days! This is different from our agreement!"

The branch colonel seemed not to notice his rage. He walked aside, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it all.

"The time for the member states to pay the Heavenly Gold is approaching. Each member state has been trying to come up with a solution recently, and you are no exception."

"As far as I know, most of them choose to attack neighboring non-member countries to plunder their wealth. And there are also some who can only choose to be sneaky and reduce their population because of their own insufficient combat power."

"So how can we reasonably reduce the country's population and preserve our already limited combat power? Isn't pirate raiding a good excuse?"

"You are so weak, and that is exactly why you chose to make a deal with me, Your Majesty."

King Oikot, sitting on the throne, clenched his hands. He did not expect that his plan would be so clear to these people.

Therefore, there are many member states that have made the same choice as mine.

"Drive the pirates out, and we can increase the agreed amount by one third."

The branch colonel smiled and shook his head: "The payment of Tianshangjin is more than that. This bottle of wine is good, and it seems to be a wine from the Grand Line. You really know how to enjoy it, Your Majesty."

King Oikot frowned: "So what do you want?"

The branch colonel walked over slowly, and the moment he got close, a dagger stabbed into his chest.

"you!"

After a muffled groan, the severe pain in the chest began to stir, the disbelieving gaze gradually faded, and the raised hand gradually became weak.

He never thought that he would be killed by the navy, nor did he think that the other side's appetite would be so big.

The invasion of pirates was his plan, and so was the killing of the elite troops to guard the palace.

To discuss such a secret today, and fearing that it might be leaked, he arranged a place for just the two of them, which was also his plan.

But this also makes it easier for the other party to take action.

"I'll blame your death on the pirates, and then let a bunch of them go. I'll report that the entire Kingdom of Oikot was looted. Then all the Baileys in this country will be mine, right?"

"It's just that one of the East China Sea member states has been lost. It won't be long before another one joins."

……

Soon, the navy, together with the guards, launched a counterattack.

Among the marines, a woman with short pink hair kept frowning, and attacked like a madman, as if she wanted to leave her life here.

At the same time, the port of the Kingdom of Oikot once again welcomed uninvited guests.

"The port is so quiet. Shouldn't this be the time for trade?"

The somersault cloud passed by and Ginny jumped down.

The next second, looking at the ruined streets of the town below, Ginny froze in place, her face frozen.

There were corpses everywhere, including a man holding a kitchen knife and a woman with half of her body covered in blood.

This scene is like hell.
