Pirates: Stick to Justice

The man on the bed was on the verge of death. The severed limbs and wounds on his body were rotten, and there were even maggots crawling around. His whole body was blurred and he twitched from time to time.

"There are warm water, scissors and clean cloth."

Baichuan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to take action. He turned to ask the woman who was crying again.

"Yes, sir, I'll go get it right now."

The woman was overjoyed by the way Baichuan seemed to be saving people. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and stumbled to prepare warm water and scissors.

First, he asked the woman to clean the man's body with warm water. Baichuan directly picked up the scissors and roughly cut off all the rotten flesh until new flesh was exposed and blood oozed out.

During this process, Baichuan's left hand pressed against the man's body throughout the entire process, constantly delivering energy and keeping him alive.

As for the pain caused by rough surgery, Bai Chuan thought that this man would not mind.

"Okay, I shouldn't die now."

"There are also high fevers caused by some infections, which require a certain amount of time to recover."

After working for almost half an hour to get all this done, Bai Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the man's breathing was even, and his face had color again. The broken arm and wounds on his body had healed slightly, and were wrapped with clean cloth.

"My lord, I'm really grateful to you. You...you..."

Looking at the man who looked better on the bed, the woman couldn't believe her eyes. She knelt on the ground and thanked him incoherently. She was already in despair.

"It's okay, I also have questions to ask you."

After the energy input was interrupted, several people came outside the room. There was not even a clean stool in the room, so the three of them could only stand.

"You said before that your husband is a soldier, why is it so miserable?"

The two of them didn't know anything about the situation in this country, which was one of the reasons why Bai Chuan wanted to save the man.

"Sir, my husband was forcibly conscripted because he could not afford the high taxes."

"Until a few days ago, when he came back alone, he was already like this."

The woman looked very miserable. She didn't know what happened. She only knew that her husband was drafted into the army by the country, and then this happened.

“If you can’t pay taxes, you will be forced to conscript soldiers.”

Bai Chuan's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of bad things.

"Yes, my lord, His Majesty the King has significantly increased taxes since three years ago."

"Any man who cannot afford to pay taxes, and all the men in the family who are over 15 and under 50 years old, join the army. Basically all the men in the small town are forced to join the army."

The woman looked dejected. Her husband had been forced to join the army a year and a half ago.

I see. No wonder there are basically no men in the town. It seems that the problem lies in this tax.

"Boom~~~"

There was movement in the house, as if the man had woken up.

A dark palm rested on the door frame, and a man covered in scars appeared in front of several people.

The eyes exposed under the dirty hair were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily. He was still very weak.

The woman quickly stepped forward to support the man, placed his body on a dark wooden pillar and sat down.

"It was two adults... who saved me."

With a hoarse voice, he never thought he could survive.

"Yes, can you tell me about your experience?"

Since this man participated in the war, he should know more about this country, and any information is very important.

Now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, only by mastering intelligence can we take the initiative.

"Thank you for saving me, sir. My name is Gabriel..."

The man introduced himself first, and then slowly recalled the past.

"A year ago, I was forced to join the Royal Army and fight against the troops of the Kingdom of Carrick."

"I remember there were people all around, there was shooting and artillery fire everywhere, and the enemy was very tenacious..."

Gabriel, he was just a civilian with little knowledge. He couldn't remember how many battles he had participated in, and he didn't know why he fought.

Perhaps due to the blessing of the goddess of luck, he survived on this cruel battlefield for a year and became a squad leader. However, all of his companions who went with him died.

But luck has its end. In the final battle, his left arm was chopped off by the enemy, and there were many scars on his body.

He was abandoned after losing his combat value, and was abandoned outside the battlefield with a group of disabled soldiers.

Perhaps because of his attachment to his hometown, he miraculously crossed the mountains and returned to the small town of Bein, where he wanted to die.

“What’s going on with the war with the Principality of Carrick?”

In this era, information lags behind, and since it is spread all over the world, it is difficult for news to reach the Grand Line. In addition, Baichuan and his party are acting illegally, and it is difficult to consult the headquarters about the situation.

Gabriel continued to tell what he had seen and heard over the past year, a very old story.

There used to be only one country here, the Kingdom of Casta

Until three years ago, the old king was about to die of illness and passed the throne to the eldest prince Carrick.

However, the second prince Kalder was dissatisfied and obtained a large number of weapons from unknown sources. He led his luxuriously equipped men to occupy the city of Dorada and declared himself king.

The two sides split the country into two, and the kingdom was divided into the Kingdom of Calder and the Kingdom of Carrick.

They both thought they were orthodox and wanted to annex each other, and the war began

The town of Bein is in the territory of the Kingdom of Calder. King Calder has significantly increased taxes, and Gabriel has no choice but to join the army.

"arms"

Baichuan thought for a moment, and the weapons should be provided by the Don Quixote family. They really like to see this situation the most.

"You know what happens when taxes go up"

"Sir, I don't know about that."

Gabriel smiled bitterly. He had been fighting for the past year, and he knew why the war happened from his comrades. He had no idea about other situations.

"Well, I probably understand. Just take good care of yourself."

Bai Chuan was quite satisfied with getting what he wanted, so he didn't save him in vain.

This couple is the epitome of this country.

With the two people's grateful thanks, Shirakawa and Gion left here, returned to the street, and took out the phone bug.

"Bulu Bulu...kacha"

"Will, did you get the tax report?"

"Sir, my interrogation has been completed. The increase in taxes in this country is because of the gold in the sky."

Will is holding a long knife, and blood is constantly dripping from the blade. A row of gangsters are kneeling around him. This is a gang gathering place.

"Haha ha ha, it's all thanks to this young lady."

Perona was also beside him. This time it was a free team, and two gloomy guys came together.

"Heavenly Gold"

"Yes, my lord..."

Will began to describe the information he had obtained, making Bai Chuan understand more deeply.

This country was not a member of the world until after the partition.

The second prince, Kalder, was very shrewd, and he knew that he was not as legitimate as the eldest prince.

So the first thing he did after the founding of the country was to prepare heavenly gold and join the world government.

The World Government obviously prefers alliance countries that are willing to provide heavenly gold. At that time, it declared the Kingdom of Calder as orthodox and even sent spies to assist.

The kingdom also needs to purchase weapons to deal with the war and prepare heavenly gold, which requires both warriors and a lot of money.

Ignorant civilians have become the best targets for exploitation, and both money and people are needed.

The reason is also very simple. It is all attributed to the invasion of the Carrick Kingdom to divert hatred.

“What a nasty kingdom.”

Bai Chuan's heart sank, remembering the food store owner's words, Bailey and food could not save this country.
