One Piece: Rise of an Empire

On the second day, Des arrived at the island owner's mansion on the third island early.

At the island owner's mansion, the old island owner had been waiting for him a long time ago. When the old island owner saw Des, he showed a surprised look, because he didn't expect that the king would come in person.

Seeing Des, the old island owner wanted to use etiquette on Dess, but Dess helped him up.

"The old island owner is old and doesn't need to use this kind of etiquette."

"Master Des, I really didn't expect you to come in person."

Des shook his head with a smile, and said, "Island No. [-] is an important island in Daxia, how can we not pay attention to it?"

The old island owner also blushed when he heard Des's words. After all, he has always been the island owner of this island, and praising this island is equivalent to praising him.

"Lord Des, although the general election has not yet started, our people have already arrived at the venue of the meeting. Shall we go there early?" said the old island owner.

Des nodded when he heard the old island owner's words. After all, he has nothing to do here, so it's better to observe the voices of the people in advance.

As for who will become the new island owner, Des doesn't care. As long as he serves the people, it doesn't matter who he is. After all, although the island owner is a high position in Daxia, it is more important for Des that he can reassure the people.

Afterwards, under the leadership of the guards of the old island owner, Des walked towards the venue of the general election.

On the other side, Aokiji watched the lively election venue and followed in, but he didn't know what was going on here.He curiously asked a rather old man, "Uncle, is there any important ceremony held here? There are so many people."

The old man looked at Aokiji and said, "Did you come from another country?"

Aokiji nodded.

"Oh, that's not surprising. This is the rule of our Great Xia. Because the old island owner of this island is getting old and intends to quit the position of the island owner, so we came here to vote for the new island owner."

"Becoming the new island owner requires your approval?" Aokiji asked in disbelief.

The old man nodded and said: "All of us can become the island owner as long as we have the ability, and if the island owner does not do well, we people also have the right to remove the island owner through our own methods."

Aokiji was a little surprised. He knew that the status of the island owner of Daxia was not ordinary. Aokiji in the travel country of Daxia knew how big an island was, and it might be bigger than a country in the outside world. He didn't expect the island owner to be elected in this way.

No wonder there are more and more people joining Great Xia. Such a system must be liked by other civilians, but such a country has already affected the interests of other countries, and the world government will not allow such a country to appear.

Aokiji used to be a high-ranking officer in the navy, and knew a little about some secret things.For example, in the blank 100-year history, a huge country once appeared, which is somewhat similar to today's Daxia, but the difference is that Des is a strong person, and Daxia's army, top combat power, and technology are already at the forefront of the world.And everyone in this country has a heart to die for this country.Under such circumstances, Aokiji does not believe that the world government has the ability to capture Daxia unless all countries unite again.

Finally, the voting began, and Des, the old island owner, and the three pre-selectors all stepped onto the stage.

Des observed that the three pre-selectors were all middle-aged people over [-] years old. This is also the rule of Daxia. The island owner of Daxia must be over [-] to participate. Although young people are more passionate and passionate, they are not suitable for the position of island owner.After all, what the island needs is stability rather than passion, so Des advocates young people to join the army of Great Xia.

At this time, the old island owner walked to the front and said to everyone: "Welcome everyone to come here and bring your votes for the election ceremony of the new island owner. Our three pre-selectors are ready. Next, prepare your votes and the ceremony will begin immediately. But before that, our great king, please speak for us!"

At this time, the old island owner handed over the microphone to Des. Seeing Des's arrival, the people below cheered. After all, this is not the imperial capital, and it is not so easy to see Dess. It can only be seen from the images and photos.Unexpectedly, Lord Des would come in person for the election ceremony of their island.

Des grabbed the microphone and came in front of the people, feeling the enthusiasm from the people. At this moment, a real smile appeared on Des's face.

"Seeing everyone's smiles and enthusiasm, I feel everyone's support for me. At the same time, I also thank you for being able to contribute to the operation of Daxia. Without you, there would be no Daxia today, and no Daxia as powerful as it is now."

"Although I am the king and the supreme leader of this country, this country belongs to everyone, to each of you. Only by working together can Daxia get better and better."

"Today's island owner election, everyone presents your truest thoughts and votes for the one you want to be the island owner the most. The island owner is supported by everyone, but he has to shoulder the responsibility of serving the people. At the same time, I hope everyone will supervise the island owner and make our Great Summer better and better. Thank you everyone."

After finishing speaking, Des bowed deeply to everyone.

With Des's exit, all the people below cheered and shouted: "Da Xia! Da Xia! Da Xia!"

They come from all corners of the country, and they used to live in their own country. Which country's nobles are not superior, let alone the country's king?But Des brought them kindness, how could they not support such a king?

Afterwards, the old island owner said to everyone again: "The election ceremony for the new island owner has officially begun!"

Each island is very large, and it is impossible for all the people to come, so most of the people present are representatives of a region.The election process was broadcast live for the entire island to watch.

As votes continued to be poured in, the three candidates also became nervous. After all, they themselves did not know what the result would be.

In front of the three candidates, the ticket inspector kept recording their votes, because it was impossible for them to cheat because Des was beside them.

The voting activities and ticket checking went on until the evening, and the results have finally come out.

The ticket inspector handed the result to Des. Des looked at the result and then gave the result to the old island owner. The old island owner looked at it and sighed. The person he recommended was not selected, and the person who was elected as the island owner was his former subordinate.

Des walked up to the crowd, took the result and said to everyone: "The result has come out, so congratulations to Charlie, our No. [-] candidate, for becoming the new No. [-] island owner!"
