Pirate Commander

Chapter 27 North's Plan

"Banquet culture" is a cultural custom that is popular all over the world in One Piece World.

From nobles and lords to ordinary people, whether it is the four seas or the great sea route, once people encounter happy things, they always like to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Even when the two pirate groups are having a good fight with each other, it is very likely that they will sit together and have a banquet.

In the words of North's previous life, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by holding a banquet. If there is, then hold two banquets.

The villages on the entire island gathered in Cocoyasi Village to unite together. All kinds of rich food were served together, and they had a lot of fun, singing and dancing.

"Master Ranger, don't be so hard on such a happy day today, let's sing and dance together!"

Some villagers ran to the soldiers on guard and warmly invited them to join them.

"The commander has an order. The more we celebrate this kind of day, the less we can relax our vigilance. We must ensure the safety of the people! Also, don't call us adults, we are the people's army, you can call us comrades!"

"Do you need to be so nervous, what an unreasonable commander."

The villagers complained about North behind his back.But it's just a complaint. They are actually very grateful to such an officer who is unwilling to let down his vigilance to protect them even during the banquet, and they feel warm in their hearts.

"Then we can buy you a drink, right?"

"No, we forbid drinking alcohol during the mission."

"Then it's okay for us to treat you to cake and barbecue?"

"Um...Actually, someone invited us to eat just now, and we are almost full..."

……

Outside, villagers and soldiers were communicating.

In a restaurant in Cocoyasi Village, Nuo Si, the village chiefs and village policemen of each village were sitting there.

"Your Excellency, Commander, why didn't you see Commander Oleg and the others?"

"I ordered them to take the team to guard. On such a festive day, it is easy for thieves to fish in troubled waters."

"So that's how it is. As expected of you, Commander, what you think is thoughtful."

A group of old village chiefs and village policemen are all good people, and each of them is a master who is proficient in flattering people.

"Come, come, let us all offer a toast to Your Excellency, Commander."

"This is not good. Your Excellency North is a commander who must stay awake at all times. How can he drink alcohol casually?"

"Yes, yes, I was confused, so I will punish myself with three cups."

After the man drank three cups, a village chief suggested: "Come, come, I suggest that we toast Oleg, Gillis, and Tsuchiya intermediary chiefs to express our gratitude to them for protecting us. "

"agree."

The village representatives raised their glasses to drink, and North also raised his glass to signal, but he didn't drink it and put it back on the table.

After drinking for three rounds, the village head of Cocoyasi Village asked, "Excuse me, Your Excellency North, when are you and the rangers planning to leave the village?"

As soon as he said this, the wine table fell silent instantly.

North did not answer directly, he asked instead: "When do you think it is appropriate for us to leave?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant." Feeling that North seemed to have misunderstood that he wanted to drive him away, the village chief hurriedly explained: "We are mainly afraid that after you leave..."

North looked around at the crowd, "Do you mean the same?"

"Yes, yes, we are all the same."

"It's best if you want to stay here for a long time."

"We really can't trust the navy."

North understood, nodded, and asked, "What kingdom do you belong to here?"

"Kingdom? No kingdom."

"Your Excellency North, you don't understand us. Our island belongs to the land of no owner, there is no kingdom, and there is no naval base. Otherwise, would Aaron dare to rule here? So you can stay here without any trouble What trouble."

North recalled that he had never seen the scene of the Dragon Pirates fighting with the Royal Army in his memory. As for the mouse colonel in the navy, let’s not mention it.

While North was thinking, the village representatives just waited quietly for North's answer. No one drank, ate, or spoke.

"I thought about it..."

The village representatives held their breaths.

"We Rangers really need a home."

"That would be great, just stay with us."

"Welcome, welcome, we are warmly welcome."

The atmosphere at the wine table suddenly became heated.

"I have an idea."

North stretched out a finger, and the room quickly became quiet again, only the noise outside the window could be heard.

"Sir, please speak."

"Tsk..."

"How many times have I said it, His Excellency North hates nobles the most, how can you call him an adult?"

"Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, I punish myself with three cups."

North's strong aura made a village representative lose his voice, but it was not a big problem.

North continued, "I want to build a country here, I don't know what you think?"

"Forehead……"

The village representatives looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Difficult... do you want to be a king?"

In the end, Ah Jian, who was close to Nami, dared to ask.

"It's not."

The revolutionary line North took was different from that of Drago.

Dorag was awakened by North's words before, and North didn't know what the future would become, but before that, Dorag was an idealist.

He believed that as long as the civilians were launched to overthrow the king and nobles, Utopia could be established.So he took the revolutionary line of guerrilla warfare.

And North is a realist, what he has to do is to truly change the world step by step, so as to eliminate the Tianlong people and various nobles, and achieve the goal of revolution.

Building a country is the foundation of revolution. Without a country, the people have no sense of belonging and honor, so how can they fight for a better future? After all, whoever rules is not ruled?Just enough food and clothing.

North continued to explain: "What I want to build is a country without nobles and oppression. I may build hospitals, schools, factories and even military camps here in the future. I hope we can unite and build a great country. "

"This is a good thing." Ah Jian replied, and the village representatives also nodded.

Now they don't have any concept of country, and they don't know how heavy the concept of a country is.

North continued: "You have to be clear about one thing. Once we become a country, we cannot easily betray, and treason will be the most serious crime. But you can rest assured that whether you want to join us is entirely voluntary. But remember , Once we join, we will become compatriots, betray the country and compatriots, and will be hunted to the ends of the earth.”

"Don't rush to answer, I will give you seven days to think about it."

North got up, turned his back to everyone, and left a sentence before leaving.

"It's not a kingdom, nor an empire. The future East China Sea Republic welcomes you."
