Chapter 83 The Kingdom of Oikot
East China Sea, Kingdom of Oikot.
The unchanging labor remains the same. As a member country, the people of this country need to pay high heavenly gold for their own safety.
But no one complained, because compared with the tragic situation of non-member countries being invaded by pirates, they are willing to accept the physical fatigue and must accept it.
At this time, the whistling sound of artillery fire came from the port.
Soon, the roar of explosions and the vibration of the ground made everyone near the port confused.
The guards stationed at the port were killed one by one, and those who escaped also ran towards the direction of the palace.
"Little ones! Next is your time!"
On the six large pirate ships, the crazy pirates landed and began to burn, kill and loot wantonly.
They may have been just gangsters on an island in the East China Sea. At the beginning, they were restrained because of fear, but after becoming pirates, they had their own explanation.
For freedom, free killing and looting, free to build pleasure on the pain of the weaker.
As for the Grand Line?
Why go to that place?
Aren't these ordinary civilians fun? Going to the Grand Line to fight for one's life is a choice only a fool would make!
For a time, the entire Kingdom of Oikot was in chaos. A small number of guards were dispatched, but after the army leader was killed by the enemy, the entire guard was defeated by fear.
Flames and blood intertwined, and the Kingdom of Oikot, which was still peaceful a few hours ago, was now completely unrecognizable.
Citizens died one by one, but the gate of the palace was always closed.
One day, two days, three days, the three days outside the palace became a real lawless zone.
The roar of the man disappeared on the first day, and the wailing and pleading of the woman also stopped on the second day.
On the third day, all the pirates were satisfied, and their red eyes were full of the state that only beasts would have.
At this moment, they even forgot that they were human.
It was also on this day that the rescue of the East China Sea Navy Branch finally arrived, and at the same time, the palace that had been unable to be attacked opened its gates. The king's long-reserved power rushed out and cooperated with the navy to start exterminating the pirates.
The battle lasted for three days, and the combat power of the pirate group seemed to exceed the expectations of King Oikot.
In the palace.
"You must! You must drive the pirates out of my country. We have paid the Heavenly Gold and are a member of the alliance! This is the obligation of your navy!"
The king was very angry and questioned the branch colonel in front of him.
However, the other party was not impatient: "No one expected their fighting power to be so tenacious, right? In addition, you seem to have forgotten our agreement and delayed until three days ago. Didn't you let us do this?"
"Bang."
The king slapped the armrest: "I only asked you to come back in one day, not three days! This is different from our agreement!"
The branch colonel seemed not to see his anger, walked aside and poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it all.
"The time for the member states to pay the Heavenly Gold is approaching. All the member states have been trying to find a solution recently, and you are no exception."
"As far as I know, most of them choose to attack neighboring non-member states to plunder wealth. And because of their own insufficient combat power, there are also some who can only choose to be sneaky and reduce the population."
"Then how can we reasonably reduce the population of the country and preserve our own limited combat power? Pirate plunder is a good excuse, isn't it?"
"You, the weak one, chose to make a deal with me just because of this! Your Majesty."
King Oikot, sitting on the throne, clenched his hands. He didn't expect that his plan was so clear to these people.
So there are many member states who made the same choice as himself.
"Drive the pirates out, and the agreed amount can be increased by one third."
The branch colonel shook his head with a smile on his face: "The payment of Tianshangjin is more than that. This bottle of wine is good, and it seems to be wine from the Grand Line. You really know how to enjoy it, Your Majesty."
King Oikot frowned: "So what do you want?"
The branch colonel walked over slowly, and a short knife pierced his chest the moment he approached.
"You!"
After a muffled groan, the pain in his chest began to stir, his unbelievable eyes gradually faded, and his raised hands gradually became weak.
He never thought that he would be killed by the navy, nor did he think that the other party's appetite would be so big.
The invasion of pirates was his plan, and it was also his plan to suppress the elite to guard the palace.
Today, he discussed such a secret, worried that it would be leaked out, and arranged such a place with only the two of them, which was also his plan.
But this also made it easier for the other party to take action.
"Put your death on the pirates, and then let a group of them go, and report that the entire Kingdom of Oikot was looted, then won't all the Bailey in this country be mine?"
"It's just that one of the allied countries in the East Sea has been lost, and it won't be long before another one joins."
...
Soon, the navy and the guards began to counterattack.
Among the marines, a woman with short pink hair kept frowning, and she attacked like a madman, as if she wanted to leave her life here.
At the same time, the port of the Kingdom of Oikot once again welcomed an uninvited guest.
"The port is so quiet, shouldn't it be the time for trade now?"
The somersault cloud passed by, and Ginny jumped down.
The next second, looking at the ruined streets of the town below, Ginny froze in place, her face stiff.
Corpses were everywhere, including men holding kitchen knives and women with half of their bodies bleeding.
Such a scene was like hell.
Behind him, Roger, wearing a cloak and a mask, followed, followed by a group of people from the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army.
"What's going on?"
"Is it a pirate? The guards of the Kingdom of Oikot have a certain combat power, how could it be?"
"They are allies, didn't they call for naval support?"
...
Ginny frowned and looked around: "Spread out search and rescue, see if there are any alive..."
Before she finished speaking, a noise sounded not far away.
Roger, who also had a gloomy face, said: "It's a pirate, followed by a large number of navy, should we take action?"
Ginny hesitated for a moment, and her eyes reflected the corpses on the street.
"Leave all the pirates behind!"
Just as he was about to take action, Roger raised his hand to stop the people behind him.
"This body has been inactive for so long that it's almost stiff... Trash that attacks ordinary people is not worthy of being called a pirate!"
Roger walked forward slowly and drew out his long sword with his right hand.
At the same time, the pirates who were fighting and retreating also noticed the people on this road.
After a moment of daze, he looked sarcastic.
"You want to stop us alone? Who do you think you are? The Pirate King?"
"Kill him!"
"Leave this island, there are more wealth and women waiting for us!"
"Kill!"
...
Under the mask, Roger's eyes gradually became cold.
When he was alive, he was a pirate and the freest person on this sea. He disdained to attack ordinary people, and he would never allow his crew to attack ordinary people.
This does not mean that he is kind, nor does it mean that he is righteous, but just disdainful.
After Raftel learned the secrets of this world, what annoyed him most was that he was born twenty years earlier and could not see the earth-shaking changes in the world twenty years later due to his terminal illness.
So he wanted to be the initiator of the future era, so he said the words on the execution platform, the words that started the Great Pirate Era.
At that time, he had anticipated the impact of the Great Pirate Era on ordinary people, but he still did it.
The reason was righteous, for the future.
But now...
Since he met the Revolutionary Army in Ohara more than a year ago, he could see the essence of the Revolutionary Army's thoughts, but it was because of this that he changed.
A guy like Whitebeard would use all the treasures in his hometown, and BiGMOM would go crazy because the nun's portrait was damaged...
Roger, whose thoughts had changed, suddenly regretted it.
The tragic scenes that could be seen everywhere on the streets came into his mind. Those people's eyes were still open even when they died, as if they still resented the world at the last moment.
No, they resented me, right?
If it weren't for that sentence, maybe they would have a better life.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a huge momentum burst out from Roger's body.
The domineering color domineering even formed a substance, and the red color in the air spread like thunder, and the wooden fence beside the street also collapsed in an instant.
The pirates facing Roger seemed to be stared at by a huge sea king, and they would be killed in the next second!
"I don't want you to faint..."
The long sword in Roger's hand was also covered with red domineering.
God avoid!
In an instant, a huge slash swept by.
"Boom!!"
The slash swept past the pirates and cut into the ground in front of the pursuing navy, forming a gap.
The next second, the streets that were originally like hell were stained red with blood again.
At this moment, Roger, wearing a mask, was as terrifying as a demon in the eyes of the navy.
"Wearing a mask and a cloak, it's a cloaked man!"
"Why would such a being appear in the East China Sea?"
"Call for support quickly!"
"Run!"
"Run..."
Although Ginny never expected a branch navy in the East China Sea to be so firm, the rout was beyond her expectations.
Just because they mistook the cloaked man?
The little guy who used to talk back to me every day when I was little has now become a big man that the enemy is afraid of.
"Huh?"
Ginny looked across and saw that all the navy had fled, except for a pink-haired woman who collapsed to the ground, lowering her head and not moving.
Are you scared?
Ginny walked forward and said condescendingly: "We are not pirates, but merchant ships that come here to purchase supplies, so generally speaking, we will not attack the navy."
Huh? Still not leaving?
"Navy? Do you need help?"
This sentence made the collapsed woman react.
"I... I'm not a marine anymore, at least from now on, I'm no longer a marine."
Ginny gave the woman a strange look, then said to her companions behind her: "Let's see if there are any survivors first, we'll have to search and rescue one place at a time, and dig a big hole."
"I understand, big sister!"
"After so many times, a member country was destroyed. So this world needs to change!"
"Hurry up!"
"There's a sound here! Come here!"
...
A group of people scattered, and Roger also unfolded his observation Haki, exploring the surroundings for the breath of survivors.
At this time, the woman who was originally thought to be frightened suddenly jumped up.
But before she rushed out, she was pressed down by Ginny, and the force of the pressure made her sit back again.
"Let me go!"
The struggling woman stared at the ruins in the distance, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from Ginny's control.
At this time, Roger on the side also stood up and came to the door of a house.
The man holding the hoe was pierced in the abdomen, and his internal organs fell outside and were pulled from the inner room to the door. It was obvious that the man did not give up before he died, but wanted to come out to see if there were any survivors who could save his daughter and wife.
Roger walked into the inner room, stretched out his hand to lift a floor, and walked down to see a baby lying in the arms of a female corpse.
The blood in the abdomen had coagulated, and the sleeping baby girl had blood all over her face. These blood were her reliance on being able to survive until now.
Roger picked up the baby girl, looked at the female corpse leaning against the wall, and bowed his head.
He remembered what the young boss said again. Compared with himself, such parents are truly great.
After the bullying, the pain of being stabbed in the abdomen could not overcome her worry about the child. She crawled in and used blood as food to keep the baby girl alive.
The man at the door dragged his internal organs and crawled to the door regardless of the pain, just to see if there was any hope, and if there was anyone who could save his daughter.
Carrying the sleeping baby girl out of the wooden house, Roger handed her to Ginny, and walked into the depths of the town again with a knife.
"Where are you going?"
Roger didn't even turn his head: "Kill people, save people."
The Kingdom of Oikot is not just a town. There are four places to live on an island, surrounding the central palace.
It is impossible that only one baby girl is alive. There must be survivors waiting for him.
And the group of pirates is not just the one who was just cut in half. He wants to kill people.
...
Ginny, who was holding the baby girl with one hand, was a little absent-minded, which also made the female navy who had been suppressed break free and stretched out her hand to hold the child who had just been rescued.
Ginny dodged and was about to punch the woman, but she stopped.
The main reason was that the woman in front of her had a bloody face and looked at the child with an apologetic look.
"You..."
"I'm not a navy!"
The female soldier in navy uniform looked directly at Ginny: "They traded with the king of this country and used a sum of money to delay the navy's support, which led to this tragedy! Heavenly gold! Damn heavenly gold!"
With just one sentence, Ginny figured out the cause and effect.
The time to pay the heavenly gold is approaching, and each member country is thinking of its own way, and the most common one is to reduce the population.
"Wa wow wow..."
A loud cry sounded, scaring Ginny.
