Pirates are born to be king

The team sent to Whiskey Peak was not as grand as imagined;

In fact, apart from bringing gold coins, Ryan didn't ask for any more people from Valpo, not chefs, not doctors, nor combatants. .

He chose to discount...

Although Ryan acted like he was desperate for money, Jess guessed that this former slave might have been betrayed by his companions, so he would no longer trust others easily.

The wounds on the body can heal, but the wounds on the heart can only be diluted with time. Maybe one day they will be smoothed away, although before that, it is more likely that the stimulation of certain things will make them remember more firmly.

In the end, Lane only asked Valpo to design two lightweight and simple pistols with a bullet capacity of 30 and an effective range of 200 meters. They were used for short-range combat and had no other requirements.

Before he left, Valpo explained the purpose of going to Whiskey Peak.

First, understand the distribution of power on the island.

Second, island specialties and possible anomalies.

Third, establish a firm foothold and make a name for yourself.

The fourth and most important point is to recruit talents for him, ask for money for money, ask for name for name, it doesn't matter even if he is a madman who likes to fight, he has a lot of enemies to defeat.

The only restriction on talents is that they cannot kill for no reason and cannot be a revolutionary army.

The former, as a kingdom ruler who hopes for stability, can accommodate those thugs who are forced by life and the powerful. But for guys who can be called antisocial personalities on earth, they are obviously harmful and unhelpful everywhere, and can even It is said that the more powerful it is, the greater the harm.

Integrating them into the system of the Drum Kingdom will only bring disaster to yourself.

And the second type of people, the revolutionary army,

As long as Valpo still needs the aura of the World Government and needs to draw nourishment from the body of the giant beast that is about to fall, he cannot have any friendly interactions with the revolutionary army.

As for other pirates and escaped slaves, he believed that as long as Bailey was in place, all problems could be solved.

In addition to Ryan and gold coins, the ship to Spring Island where the Chamber of Commerce is located has also set off.

Although the agents of the Wheat and Sausage Chamber of Commerce had already come to Cigu Castle to apologize and were willing to sell food to Cigu Island at very low prices in the future, how could the king and a group of ministers be attracted by these things that were about to belong to them? Blinded by interests.

Valpo just met the once high-spirited and arrogant agent again at the place where he signed the agreement.

Now he is groveling, almost prostrate, wanting to show his sincerity to the king, but unfortunately everything has changed.

Valpo originally thought he would make some sarcastic remarks to the agent, but at this moment he felt it was boring.

The too-easy victory and the contrasting attitudes of the Chamber of Commerce made His Majesty the King understand the importance of force.

Based on this, he asked Jace to pretend to comfort him,

On the other side, 4 temporarily modified warships, 2 Sea Shadow submarines, and a total of 800 soldiers' powerful combat force were still heading towards Spring Island.

Order on the island began to be restored, and the endless blood stains disappeared under a certain medicine developed by the hospital.

The originally hellish scene was covered by holy snow. The residents of the island did not experience war and no one died, as if nothing happened.

But they all know that things have changed here, from the bottom of their hearts.

People came and went at Cigu Pier, which was open to navigation again. Ships seeking medical treatment and buying medicine came to the island. The sailors who had been holding back for a long time became much more disciplined. People from Cigu could often be heard laughing loudly in the tavern.

"How many people? Let me tell you 3000! None of them can escape! Us?" The Chinese voice became louder, "No harm!"

Then, if the sailor shows signs of wonder and admiration, most of the time he will get a glass of wine as a treat from an enthusiastic citizen.

If you shout a few more words, "Praise the soldiers, praise the king." 'You should be able to drink until you vomit for free today.

If someone doesn't want to believe it, some good-tempered citizens will drag him through the biting cold wind, first go to the pier to see the 20 or so pirate ships, and then drag him to the more built one. For the huge slave camp, look at the captured pirates,

The citizens of the Drum Kingdom will raise their heads and speak passionately about the divine battle.

Tell the other party that our kingdom has become stronger. The wind and snow could not defeat us before, and now the same can happen to pirates.

Unknowingly, the entire drum kingdom began to exude a sense of confidence.

Their kingdom is small and their people are few;

But we will be strong,

We are getting stronger!

The higher-ups of the kingdom were delighted with this change. Cromarimon, as the affairs officer, felt even more profoundly. He found that the kingdom was operating more efficiently, and some things were even done by the citizens without his instructions. .

"That's it." After listening to Chromamon's report, Valpo couldn't hold back the smug expression on his face.

He also did not expect that after a battle, in addition to harvesting pirate slaves, a large number of ships, and a Spring Island, after a period of fermentation, the national self-confidence would also be greatly improved.

From a long-term perspective, the importance of national self-confidence far outweighs other gains this time.

The improvement of the spiritual level can be regarded as the foundation of a country. Although in the end it may cause various disadvantages such as arrogance, pride, and even autism, it is undeniable that a country that does not even look down on itself has no future.

He has reason to be proud,

In this kingdom with supreme royal power, he is not only the ruler of the kingdom, but also the spiritual leader.

Why are citizens so confident?

Because there is a good king~~~~

It's a bit arrogant to say this, but in the world of One Piece, where personality worship is extremely strong, it is a deformed reality.

People long for a strong man and a king they can rely on.

When Valpo met the conditions, the "spiritual outlook" of the entire kingdom changed drastically.

At this moment, His Majesty the King is unknowingly being mythologized by the subconscious mind of the people.

Maybe even Valpo himself didn't think of it.

In less than a year since he traveled through time,

He started to solve the heating problem of Winter Island, conquered Labang, the overlord of the snow, improved the medical welfare of the people, lowered the price of food, and developed the Sea Shadow submarine, and relied on it to capture an endless supply of marine fish resources for the kingdom.

Now he has defeated 0 pirates with 3000 casualties and harvested a large number of ships and slaves.

And shortly after,

When he occupied Spring Island, he completely solved the food supply problem that had plagued the Ciggu Kingdom for generations. It was foreseeable that he would become a 'god walking on the earth' in the kingdom.

He will become faith.

Valpo, who was completely unaware of this, looked at Jace again.

The staff officer also brought him a message, "Your Majesty, the warships from T-bone School are about to arrive at the dock."

"It's finally here." Valpo stood up, "Let's go and greet him." If there was only T-bone School, he wouldn't have to do this, but Zefa who came with him was different. This former naval admiral taught Having been an instructor in the Navy for most of his life, his connections and his own strength should not be underestimated.

Not long after Valpo and his party, along with 12 Royal Guardsmen, waited at the dock, a slender, fast warship appeared on the sea in the distance.

Less than an hour later, the warship docked at the dock.

During this period, His Majesty the King was still waiting.

As he expected, the first one to appear was a one-armed old man with a pair of iconic sunglasses covering his eyes. His body should be old but he was as strong as an ox. Even Dalton was a bit stronger. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zefa?

Valbo bowed slightly, ready to say hello.

Zefa's hearty laughter has reached everyone's ears, "You defeated a large pirate group with 3000 pirates? It's really amazing."

"That's a compliment." His Majesty the King smiled reservedly.

It is well known that the current Black Arm Zefa hates pirates.

It seemed that Valpo didn't need any more courtesy. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, why don't you go see those pirates now? I have many questions that I would like to ask."

Valpo did not forget to nod to the t-bone schoolmaster behind Zefa. Behind the schoolmaster there were two men in cloaks.
