Just as Ryan and his party were heading towards the Upside-Down Mountain, the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Kuzan, who was known as Aokiji, came to the Gothic Kingdom with the navy.

At this time, the Gothic Kingdom was at a critical moment in the fight for the throne, and some princes had already lost and were unable to fight for the throne.

The Gothic Kingdom is now mainly divided into two factions, one is the Grand Prince camp that supports the orthodox, and the other is the Garen faction that has recently risen rapidly and is supported by some great nobles of the Minister of the Interior.

Since the death of the king, the Minister of the Interior has won over some powerful nobles, because as long as Garen is in power, the Gothic Kingdom will not be theirs.

Garen, an 8-year-old child, is just a puppet supported by them. In this way, most of the nobles in the country united and joined Garen's faction.

At present, two princes have been solved and the last Grand Prince is left. According to the current situation, the Grand Prince will not be able to hold on for long.

The king, who may have died, did not expect that after his death, his throne might be inherited by the impure blood Garen whom he always disliked.

When the king was in power, the nobles in the country naturally did not dare to have any dissent. After all, the king's rule had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When he was still alive, others would definitely not dare to resist him, but he died and died too suddenly.

The King's Guard, which was controlled by successive kings, remained neutral in this battle for the throne, because they were all the blood of the king and qualified to inherit the throne. When the king died, the next heir to the throne was not determined.

Without this most powerful trump card of the palace, the princes of the King's Guard certainly could not defeat Jarvan, who was now supported by most of the nobles in the country.

As for Profitas, he had already gone out to sea to chase Ryan after handling the king's funeral.

It was precisely because the news of the king's death was blocked by the Minister of the Interior that Kuzan did not receive any news on the way here, and Ryan had already left when he arrived.

After arriving at the port, Kuzan did not stay for a long time and went directly to the naval branch, and Kuzan's arrival naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested.

In the palace, a young man in his 20s was whipping a slave kneeling on the ground with a whip, cursing as he did so.

"Damn it, damn it. This prince is the first heir to the throne, but those nobles actually support that bastard!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in.

Perhaps he was tired of beating the slave, so the prince waved his hand to let the slave go out after seeing the newcomer, and the slave kneeling on the ground quickly crawled out.

"Uncle Wang, you are here, what's the matter?" The prince asked first.

The middle-aged man found a chair and sat down and said lightly: "Prince, have you given up?"

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, the prince said angrily.

"How is it possible? I will never let that bastard become the king."

"It's just that the combined power of those nobles is too strong." At this point, the prince was instantly drained of his strength.

"There is still hope." The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously.

"What hope is Uncle Wang talking about?" Hearing that there is still hope, the prince stood up from his seat instantly and asked eagerly.

Then the middle-aged man told the prince about Kuzan and his group.

"Uncle Wang means to ask the navy for help?" The prince pondered.

"Yes, we can't beat them with our current strength, but it will be different as long as we have the support of the navy. You know, that is Aokiji, who is known as a monster!"

"But I have never heard of asking the navy for help in the fight for the throne." The king hesitated a little.

It can be seen that the prince has been moved. The middle-aged man continued.

"This is the last hope, prince."

"No matter what conditions the navy puts forward, you must agree, otherwise that bastard will become the king of this country."

Hearing this, the prince finally did not hesitate.

Then the prince took the middle-aged man to the naval base overnight to visit Aokiji. No one knew what they talked about. They only knew that when the prince came out, he had a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the prince left, a person in a dark corner saw this scene and quickly went to the inner city.

"What did you say? The eldest prince went to the navy." The Minister of the Interior was very angry when he heard the news.

The news came from the people he sent to monitor the eldest prince, and the authenticity of the news was beyond doubt.

The Minister of the Interior did not expect that the eldest prince would actually go to seek foreign aid.

And looking at the angry Minister of the Interior, Jarvan sat there with a panicked look.

How long does it take to go from a low-status illegitimate child to the most promising heir to the throne? The answer is ten days.

Although Jarvan is still young, he has experienced hardships since childhood and his mind is more mature than some teenagers.Suffering will make him lose something and give you something accordingly.

What Jarvan lost was his childhood, but what he gained was a strong will and a mature mind. Without these two things, Jarvan would have died in this cold palace long ago.

Who is the person Jarvan wants to thank the most now?

It is not the angry Minister of the Interior standing there, but Ryan, the man who changed his fate single-handedly.

Without the sudden death of the king, he would never have a chance, and without Ryan's riot in the palace, Jarvan would never have come into contact with a person like the Minister of the Interior.

Jarvan was not sad at all about the death of the king, but was very happy.

Just as the king did not treat him as a son, Jarvan did not treat the king as a father, not to mention that the king killed his mother.

Jarvan has complicated feelings for Ryan.

There is gratitude, thank Ryan for changing his fate.

There is admiration, admiration for Ryan's powerful strength.

There is envy, envy that Ryan can be free and do whatever he wants.

There is fear, fear that the king's fate will one day befall him.

Looking at the angry Minister of the Interior, Jarvan said weakly.

"The Navy is not the World Government, how can it interfere in the fight for the throne."

Hearing this, the Minister of the Interior was about to scold Jarvan, but suddenly thought of something and laughed.

"Yes, if the eldest prince can go to the Navy, then I can go to the World Government."

Then he went out to arrange this matter.

Only Jarvan, who was hiding his merits and fame, was left alone in this huge room to ponder.

In the palace, the eldest prince happily told the middle-aged man about the conversation he had just had with Aokiji, and the middle-aged man also laughed after listening.

"The eldest prince is wise, and the Navy will definitely not refuse the conditions you offer."

"That's right, the Navy's military expenditure has always been a headache for them. I offer him 1 billion military expenditure every year."

"With 1 billion military expenditure every year, they can save many lives. Of course, the premise is that I become king."

The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in the glass.

As for where the money came from, neither of them said anything, because in their minds, exploiting civilians is a matter of course.

Navy Headquarters - Marinford.

Sengoku is reporting the news just conveyed by Aokiji in the office of Steel Bone Sora.

"Marshal Sora!" Sengoku looked at Steel Bone Sora sitting in the marshal's chair with expectant eyes.

"Sengoku, you should know that our navy has never interfered in the fight for the throne."

"I know, but Marshal Sora's 1 billion military expenditure every year can help us recruit more marines, and we can also replace new weapons so that fewer people will die every year."

Sengoku continued.

"Now there are more and more pirates, but the annual military expenditure is only that much. With this money, we can feel better."

Sengoku Sora was silent. How could he not know this truth? The navy in the Great Pirate Era was too difficult to power.

After a long time, Steel Bone Sora sighed: "Then you go and do it. If the World Government investigates it later, I will bear it all."

"I understand." Sengoku said excitedly.

Looking at the figure of Zhan Guo leaving, Kong Gang sighed: "This is the last thing I can do for the Navy."

If the World Government does not pursue it, it will be fine. If it does, he, the Navy Admiral, will have to abdicate early.

"It seems that the plan to hunt down the lonely Red Redfield will be implemented in advance. It should be fine after preparing for so long."

Looking at the starry sky, Kong Gang murmured alone.

Two days later, in the Gothic Kingdom, in the palace.

The Minister of the Interior, Jia Wen and a group of nobles were confronting the royal forces such as the eldest prince. Both of them had a faint smile as if they were sure of victory.

"Don't resist, eldest prince, this is the general trend. Now all the troops of the kingdom are in my hands. What can you resist with?" The Minister of the Interior pointed to the soldiers behind him with the road of the winner.

"I am the legitimate one, that bastard can't be the king. You have an army, so why can't I help you."

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he whispered to his uncle behind him: "Uncle, has Aokiji not come yet?"

The uncle replied: "I have already notified him, and we have already discussed it yesterday, so he won't regret it." He gave the eldest prince a reassuring smile.

Instantly, the soldiers of both sides in the palace began to fight.

The Minister of the Interior looked at his confidant behind him and asked: "Is everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, sir, the navy will never interfere, and that sir has already agreed."

"That's good."

Then the Minister of the Interior quietly watched the soldiers fighting in front of him.

Suddenly everyone felt the temperature suddenly drop and a chill came over them. The next moment, all the soldiers who were fighting turned into ice sculptures, and a navy wearing a cloak of justice appeared at the gate of the palace."Ah, stop it."

Seeing the eldest prince Ryan, his back straightened immediately.

Someone screamed: "That Aokiji who is called a monster!"

The Minister of the Interior shouted: "The Navy cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Alliance."

Aokiji remained silent. There was no way they could give too much.

The eldest prince laughed wildly and said: "It seems that the final winner is still this prince."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Aokiji's clothes rang.

"bilibili"

The Minister of the Interior said to Aokiji after seeing it.

"Vice Admiral Aokiji, don't you want to answer the phone?"

Aokiji picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered it, and the voice of Steel Bone Sora came from it.

"Kuzan, you can't interfere in other countries' internal affairs, go back."

"Marshal Kong!"

"Go back, this is the order of the World Government."

10 minutes ago, the World Government found Kong and clearly warned the Navy not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Gothic Kingdom, otherwise the military expenditure would be halved next year, and expressed that the five adults above were very unhappy with their actions this time.

After Aokiji left, the eldest prince also died in the palace.

Looking at the dead eldest prince, the Minister of the Interior laughed and said, "This kingdom will belong to us in the future."

He didn't feel the murderous intent emanating from Jarvan on the side at all.

The Minister of the Interior, who was in a smug mood, had no idea that Jarvan, who was supported by him, was not a puppet, but a beast that had been suppressed for a long time!

After nearly two days of sailing on the sea, Ryan and his party finally arrived at their destination---Inverted Mountain.

But Ryan didn't know that a man sitting quietly on a coffin ship at the entrance of the Grand Line had been waiting for him for a long time.
