The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

For a long time, the Kingdom of Solbe was artificially divided into two parts. On one side was the prosperous member state area where the nobles lived and protected by the World Government, and on the other side was the dilapidated urban area where the expelled civilians lived and many lawless criminals mingled.

Due to human interference, the city where the common people live is almost always in chaos. Not only are they threatened by gangs and criminals within the city, but they are also oppressed by the nobles living in another city.

That’s right, even though the Sobel Kingdom was divided, the nobles still maintained considerable property in the cities on the other side.

On the one hand, they drove the civilians to the dirty and dilapidated urban areas, and on the other hand, they used the so-called aristocratic power to seize the fruits of the people's labor and make huge profits.

In this world shrouded in darkness, the lower-class civilians of the Solbe Kingdom are suffering from severe oppression.

Until today, a group of outsiders landed, like the dawn breaking through the night sky, and ended the oppression of the working people who were sucked dry by monsters and demons.

"Hey, what happened to those untouchables? Not only last month's rent, but even this month's rent is in arrears." The nobles of the Solbe Kingdom shouted.

The nobles had not heard about the revolutionaries' activities in the Kingdom of Solbe yet, so they still did not know what earth-shaking changes had taken place in the city on the other side.

"Who said it wasn't true? My factory hasn't sent me this month's dividends. Even the people in charge of liaison have disappeared, so I have to find someone else to ask." Many nobles were at a loss in the face of the changes and could only complain.

At this moment, a person sent by the nobles to make contact ran back.

"Master, the gangsters who contacted us before are gone. Now those untouchables have been bewitched by a guy called the Revolutionary Party.

Not only did they not pay the rent, but they also confiscated all the property of the master." The man said tremblingly.

"You bastards, you damned pariahs. They are breaking the law, did you know that? Go to the kingdom and call the police, and ask the kingdom to send troops to suppress them." The noble cursed with a distorted face.

"Master, you forgot. Now that place no longer belongs to the Kingdom of Solby, and our laws are useless to them. This is a matter outside the law, and the deployment of troops can only be decided by His Majesty the King himself." The servant said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Damn it, damn revolutionaries, damn peasants. If I can't send soldiers, then I'll take all my servants over. No matter what, I must get my things back from those peasants." The noble cursed again.

"Master, no. Those stinking outsiders who call themselves revolutionaries not only divided up all the property among the peasants, but also taught them to join the army.

The militia of the untouchables is much tougher now than before, and they even have guns issued by the revolutionaries. I am afraid that this servant of ours will not be able to get away with it well." The servant replied humbly.

"What should we do?" "Oh, what's going on?" "I spent a lot of money to pay the heavenly gold last time, and now I can't even protect my iron-clad crops." Many nobles discussed the matter.

"Damn it." The noble was extremely angry. The current situation was that many nobles wanted to take back their things, but unfortunately they didn't have the ability to do so. Hiring troops? A large part of their capital had already been consumed last time, and now they hadn't replenished it at all.

"By the way, aren't we a member of the World Government? We can ask the navy to help us. We can just say that those revolutionaries are pirates. As long as two random branches come, they can take our things back." Suddenly, a noble thought of something and made a suggestion.

"It is not so easy for the World Government to help member states send troops, even if it means mobilizing naval branches. Even in the worst case scenario, the king must apply in person." The same noble explained with a grim expression.

Finally, with everyone helpless (blaming each other), the nobles decided to ask the king for help. After all, the current king's ascension to the throne was also related to them, so he probably wouldn't mind doing a small favor this time.

"Hehe, you want to send troops? That's great. Let me tell you, there is no need for a navy. This king can send some people to deal with those untouchables. But, hehe." The king said, and leaned close to the noble's ear.

"What? Fifty percent! Why don't you just go and rob? No one will agree to this condition." The noble simply shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"How can you make money faster than this? Think about it, so much property has been distributed to the poor, it's a sin!" The king's tone seemed as if his property had been robbed.

"Stop talking. Thirty percent is the final bottom line. If you agree, I will go and convince others. If it's more, I can't do anything else." The noble said firmly.

The king did not insist on his previous request, and the two reached an agreement. After the noble left, Becoli could not help laughing.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary to go through so much trouble? If you want money, why don't you let your brothers rob those nobles directly?" Several pirate leaders walked out of the darkness deep in the palace, and one of them said.

"No no no, you don't understand. Since I'm already a king, I have to behave like a king. If I fall out with the nobles, how can I interact with kings of other countries in the future? Now is a good opportunity. Those nobles actually took the initiative to hand the opportunity to me, so I won't be polite.

Humph, those lowly people actually became rampant under the instigation of a group of bandits who came from nowhere. I can just use this excuse to collect all the wealth in the hands of the nobles. "Becoli explained to everyone with complacency.

"Your Majesty, those revolutionaries are not easy to deal with. Our pirate group was chased all the way from Bartella Island to the Kingdom of Solbe.

Should we be more careful? Should we use the power of the allied countries to call the navy to help? "At this time, a pirate suggested. He was the captain of the pirate group that was chased by the revolutionaries to the Kingdom of Solbe.

"No need for that. How strong can he be? Originally, this king wanted to use that peasant named Bartholomew Xiong to carry out his plan.

But now, the so-called revolutionary party has run into trouble, and he has no choice.

Besides, I have gathered all of you for this operation. Don’t forget what we discussed before.

I will use the power of the allied countries to help you escape the pursuit of the navy, and you must respond to my call when necessary." The king reiterated the agreement with the pirates.

"Of course no problem, Your Majesty." The most powerful pirate leader replied.

Then, he turned to the pirate captain and said, "Don't worry. No matter how strong the Revolutionary Party is, it is just a battleship. We have seven pirate groups on this expedition, plus the Kingdom's guards to cooperate with us. It will be easy for us to deal with them."

"That's it. Go and prepare." King Bekoli said, "Don't worry about the reward. After the mission is completed, you will also get the treasure."

At this time, the pirate captain who reminded everyone to be careful wanted to say something, but was stopped by other pirate captains with their eyes. He had no choice but to leave the palace with everyone.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the militia had been on high alert, with all kinds of sentries on standby. In the office, Crow took the military book given to him by Marx and silently recited, "Don't rely on the enemy not coming, but rely on what we have that cannot be attacked."
