One Piece: God Killer

Astun, the second largest city in the Kingdom of Vera, is the seat of the noble coalition.

Richardo, the leader of the aristocratic alliance with a big belly and a rich suit, was sitting on a big leather chair.

Judging from the smile on his face, he is quite satisfied with the recent situation in the Kingdom of Vera.

The recent pirate attacks on villages and towns controlled by the rebels, especially the Shenzhen-Hong Kong incident, have almost confirmed the rumors that the king is colluding with pirates, and have successfully ignited the anger of the people of Vera. In just a few days, large-scale protests took place in many large cities that were originally firmly controlled by the king's side.

Suddenly, the situation developed in a direction that was extremely favorable to the noble coalition.

He could even imagine that one day he would enter the royal city and be elected as the new king. At that time, he will be Richard I!

Opposite Richardo, there were several figures sitting.

If any of Richardo's supporters saw this scene, they would be stunned:

Sitting across from this veteran nobleman, who was hailed as "the conscience of the country" and "the great savior of Vera" by many supporters, was not a gentleman, but a group of pirates. Among them is the pirate "Claw" Bundy, who is famous in the Kingdom of Vera as the "King's lackey" and the "Executioner of Shenzhen and Hong Kong".

Sitting next to Bundy were several other "notorious" pirates: Lear the Hammer, Chocolate the Bull, and Bone the Bonebreaker.

Sitting behind the three pirates, exuding a cold, vicious and chilling aura, was a man in his thirties, tall and fat, with a donkey face and a green face with fangs, but he was neatly dressed. A well-dressed man in a suit. If you pay attention to the reward notice issued by the Navy Headquarters, you can recognize this person at a glance.

The "Poison of Taranto" Tepreto has a bounty of 350 million berri.

"Your Excellency, Duke Richardo," Tepruto's words were quite respectful, but there was not much respect in his tone. "My subordinates have suffered a lot of hard work in recent days. The reward you promised is not enough." There is no shortage of children.”

Obviously, Lear, Chocolate, and Boyne are all subordinates of this great pirate.

"Everyone, don't be anxious." Looking at these allies who gave him a headache but did not dare to underestimate him, Richardo suppressed his smile. He said calmly, "Don't worry, wait until I overthrow Issa." That guy Bella, if you become the king of this country, your reward will be indispensable."

"How long will it take?" "Barbarian Bull" Chocolate, who is blind in one eye but has no loss of momentum, is obviously impatient.

Richardo frowned slightly, then relaxed again. These guys were easy to use. By letting them attack the villages under the rule of the noble coalition, and then pointing the finger at the king, and falsely accusing him of colluding with pirates, Richardo greatly weakened the prestige of the old king Isabella III in the country.

It's easy to use, but they are too greedy. Especially Tepruto, the rewards he demanded were getting higher and higher each time, which made even him, a rich nobleman, feel heartache.

But he also knew that it was not the time to fall out with them yet, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "It won't be too long. Besides, you looted the village and got a lot of property? Why not do it?"

However, he thought in his heart: When I become king, I will immediately contact the World Government. I just need to increase the amount of gold in the sky and let the navy send troops to destroy you guys. It will not be easy.

It was okay not to talk about the looting of the village. As soon as he mentioned it, "Claw" Bundy felt angry. He snorted angrily and said, "You still have the nerve to say it, because of the looting of the village." , my bounty has increased by another ten million, and three waves of bounty hunters have come to trouble me in the past two days. Several of my subordinates are injured, so we can’t just let it go."

"This..." It was Richard's turn to look ugly. Bounty hunters attacking pirates happened countless times every day on the sea. It's hard to say what it has to do with the increase in bounties. He knew very well that Bundy just wanted to extort a medical fee.

"Okay, Your Excellency Richardo," Tepreto said solemnly, and his tone made Richardo's hair stand on end. "Instead of worrying about such a trivial matter as 'medical expenses,' we should consider ways to capture the royal city. And There is, Bundy, a subordinate who can be killed by a mere bounty hunter, so I don’t think he needs to stay in your group anymore!”

He set the tone for this matter as soon as he opened his mouth - Richardo admitted his fault this time and paid for the medical expenses in exchange for Bundy never having to use similar methods to blackmail him again.

"I understand." Bundy nodded. He was already satisfied with getting a little money. "Thank you, Mr. Richardo."

Richardo did not dare to say anything more. He nodded and said: "Okay." But his heart became more determined that once he became the king, he would immediately contact the World Government to eliminate all these pirates. .

"Jingle bell~"

The phone bug's voice rang at the right time, breaking the slightly stiff atmosphere.

Tepruto took out the phone bug and placed it on the table.

"Captain! There is important information!" The voice on the other side of the phone was not loud, but it seemed very urgent. It was obviously made in a very urgent situation and at the risk of being discovered, "Princess Vera Alice is leaving. After arriving at the Royal City, we headed to Ebinski Port! Araki, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, did not travel with us!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Tepruto replied calmly, and then he immediately hung up the phone.

Richardo trembled with excitement when he heard the news. He couldn't help but said: "God help me, God help me!"

Ever since Richardo started the rebellion, the one who caused him the most trouble was Princess Alice of Vera.

Alice has an excellent image among the people and has quelled many protests directed at the royal family.

Although he has the help of a big pirate like Tepreto, Princess Alice's lover and army commander Araki is not an easy character to deal with. Therefore, methods such as assassination are difficult to use.

Alice thus becomes an intractable problem.

Tepruto was very confident and once took the initiative to propose a plan to directly attack the royal city.

But his proposal was rejected by Richardo. This is certainly not because the remuneration demanded by Tepruto is too high for Richardo to accept. In fact, Richardo was very willing. He felt that as long as he could become the king of the Kingdom of Vera, there was nothing he couldn't give.

It's really because Tepruto is a big pirate registered with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. Richardo worries that Tepruto's public involvement in the fight for a country's throne will lead to the intervention of the World Government.

Once Tepruto directly participates in the war, the result is likely that although he becomes king, he is removed from the World Government and can only rely on pirates to maintain his position. This was something Richard was unwilling to accept.

"Thank you so much, Tepruto, let your men move too!" Richardo thanked Tepruto for providing the information, while taking out his phone bug and dialing a number.

Tepruto looked at the Duke of Vera calmly, with no emotion in his eyes but full of disdain in his heart.

Such a nobleman would only engage in opportunistic tricks. If the price hadn't been high enough, he wouldn't have looked at Richardo.

"Just do it," Tepruto thought to himself, "it's best to kill her, so that no one can stop Araki's beast. Until then, my 'force' will play a decisive role! "
