Pirates: The Strongest Justice

Chapter 379: Cooking Raw Rice Into Cooked Rice (4,000 Words Long Chapter)

"But...it's useless just for you to agree to this kind of thing, Admiral, right?"

Unlike Leo's optimism, Cyrus directly expressed his worries.

He is just an ordinary civilian and was once a criminal in Dressrosa.

Thanks to King Liku's appreciation, he not only became the army commander, but also married the eldest princess of the kingdom to him.

This honor gave him extraordinary loyalty to Dressrosa and King Riku.

Therefore, even at the risk of his life, he had to personally remove Doflamingo's head to comfort King Riku's spirit in heaven.

"Ang~ I've already told Sengoku, but I don't know how the World Government will decide."

Atlas took off the sunglasses that were pushed up to his forehead and placed them in front of Leo.

The matter was mentioned to Sengoku the day before yesterday.

But there has been no feedback from Marine yet.

Probably something went wrong in the middle.

"Ignore them, you ascend the throne first, and then you will become the real King of Dressrosa. Even those five old men can only hold their noses and recognize it."

"This wave is called, raw rice cooked rice."

Holy Land Mariejois.

Pangu City.

between rights.

The five old men frowned and looked at the telegrams in their hands.

"What... do you think?"

La Cruz Saint slowly scanned the expressions of the other four people.

"Isn't this how the Riku clan obtained the power of Dressrosa eight hundred years ago? Why can't we recreate the scene at that time?"

Dexter Saint adjusted the black hat on his head slightly, but his expression was still a little hesitant: "Would you like to choose another clan from among the nobles of Dressrosa? This suggestion is not bad, but..."

"The documents have been drafted below, but we suddenly changed our minds..."

Saint La Cruz interrupted directly and said categorically:

"What does it matter? We didn't personally agree to Sengoku anyway."

"Then Marine's side..."

"Who is Marine? It's just a facade for World Government! There's no need to give them face!"

Saint Nazarov, who was holding the long knife, had a sneer on his face.

Marine is just an agency under the World Government, so they don't need to consult their opinions at all.

Strictly speaking, Marine cannot participate in the internal affairs of the affiliated kingdom. Only the World government has the right to make decisions.

They were able to listen to Sengoku's opinions because Sengoku was usually more submissive to them.

"Okay! It's decided then. Since the nobles of Dressrosa have already made a request to us, let's do it according to this intention!"

Albelick, who had short yellow hair, threw the documents in his hand on the table, raised his feet and walked straight out the door.

This kind of thing actually requires repeated meetings for so long.

If something is not certain, isn’t it easy to change?

after all.

The Alec family has really given too much!

On the original basis, the amount of gold in the sky increased by 30%.

This is the promise of the nobles of Dressrosa.

————

New World, Dressrosa.

Near King's Heights.

There are row upon row of buildings, towering buildings and majestic pavilions.

The luxury is not inferior to that of the royal palace.

This is where the nobles of Dressrosa live.

Although in the past due to the rule of the Liku clan, a people-centered approach was always implemented.

However, it still cannot change that Dressrosa's social class is composed of two major classes: nobles and commoners.

Even in the eyes of the people, King Liku, who loved his people like a son and was highly respected.

They are also vested interests of the aristocracy.

At this time, in one of the most magnificent buildings.

The three men took their seats in order from top to bottom.

At the top is a middle-aged man with a square face and a full beard. He is dressed luxuriously and wears a hat decorated with red tassels.

The leader of the Alec clan, Alec Edmund.

Also the left minister of Dressrosa.

He was one of the nobles who followed the Donquixote Family. It can be said that he is the oldest noble in Dressrosa except for the Riku family.

The second seat was a white-faced, greasy and fat man wearing silk brocade. He was chewing chicken drumsticks in his mouth.

Norton Willey, one of the new nobles, whose influence is also entrenched in Dressrosa, is appointed as the right minister of the kingdom.

Among the many kingdoms of One Piece, the left is usually respected.

The status of the left minister is higher than that of the right minister.

The person sitting at the end of the table was a tall, thin man with slightly dark skin and a mustache sticking to his mouth.

Turs Newman is also one of the emerging nobles.

The history is not as good as that of the Riku family and the Alec family, and they belong to the nobility that appeared in the past two hundred years.

However, they also have extraordinary ambitions and seek a higher status in Dressrosa.

This is why he, as a small family, dares to come here.

Ambitious people always dare to gamble.

"Have your family's private soldiers assembled? Have you contacted the other nobles?"

Alec Edmund spoke with cold eyes.

"It's all arranged! Please, Minister Zuo... ah no! It's His Majesty the King. Don't worry, just a remnant of Cyrus' soldiers can't stop us!"

Turs Newman, with a somewhat flattering smile, served as the main contact person for this uprising.

Once successful, you will definitely be able to get generous rewards afterwards.

"But, that Marine Admiral..."

"Don't worry, the World Government has agreed to our conditions, and it is estimated that the official document will be issued soon."

"No matter how powerful that Marine is, does he still want to interfere in the internal government affairs of Dressrosa?"

"The most important thing now is to control the area around the palace. Neither King Liku's daughter nor Cyrus are allowed to get close."

"As long as we wait for a while, our Alec family will become the royal family of Dressrosa and get the power that we should have obtained eight hundred years ago!"

Alec Edmund laughed low.

Although I don’t know why my ancestor voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become a royal family eight hundred years ago.

The Alec family was the strongest and most powerful among the people who followed the Donquixote Family back then!

If King Liku was still alive, he would never dare to have such a petty thought.

After all, the terrifying reputation that the Riku clan has accumulated in Dressrosa for nearly 800 years is enough to make him dare not act rashly.

But now, King Liku is dead, and there are only two women among his descendants!

As for Cyrus, Dressrosa must not fall into the hands of outsiders!

"Don't worry, when everything is over, Willy, you will be the left minister, and Newman, you will be the right minister of the kingdom! Hahahahaha!!"

Human ambition will never stop.

————

In the dark.

Willy, who had just left the Alec family, dialed the bug phone in his hand and waited carefully for the call to be connected.

"Hello? I'm Bai Jian."

The voice was very plain, but it had an unstoppable edge.

"Lord Bai Jian, I am Willy from the Norton family. I have met you before and came to thank you."

Different from the calmness in the Alec family, Willy at this time revealed a cunning and shrewdness.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

There was no emotion in Atlas's voice.

Although the nobleman of Dressrosa does not know the purpose of the other party looking for him, the other party is not worthy of his serious treatment.

"It's like this. The nobles headed by the Alec family want to usurp Dressrosa's throne. I don't want to join them, so I came to report to you secretly."

"Really? Marine shouldn't be qualified to interfere in Dressrosa's government affairs, right?"

Although he was a little surprised, he still asked calmly.

"Hehe! Where are you talking about? As a hero who saves Dressrosa, of course you should take a look at this kind of thing. I am not that ungrateful person."

Willie held the microphone in both hands, with grooves on his fat face.

The implication is that other nobles are just white-eyed wolves.

"Good, I understand."

Dudududu——! ! !

Willy looked surprised when he heard the busy tone from the phone.

Then he thought of the Alec family's plan, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved down, and he sneered: "What a bunch of idiots. I know the temper of that Admiral. Although I don't know what his thoughts are, I still need to be informed."

"Your so-called rules have no effect on willful people! Hahaha!"

Even if he bets on both ends, he won't lose anyway.

————

Dressrosa.

King's Heights.

At this time, a large number of soldiers gathered here, each holding weapons and muskets, ready for battle.

The formation is neatly planned and well-trained.

But the patterns on the clothes are different.

This is the family crest of the Dressrosa nobles.

The civilians watching the excitement nearby were frightened and backed away when they saw this kind of battle.

The palace... is it surrounded by people?

Behind Wuyangyang's soldiers, at the entrance of the palace hall.

The nobles headed by Alec Edmund were looking at the panicked civilians with laughter on their faces.

In the past, when King Liku was on the throne, they never dared to be arrogant.

But now, the constraints above my head are gone.

The cannibalistic nature of the nobles was also revealed.

"Looking at the expressions of those common people, they feel really comfortable. In order to gain the gratitude of these untouchables, the Liku clan has been suppressing us. I have been unhappy for a long time!"

The speaker was Brod Hall from the Brod family, who belonged to the small aristocracy in Dressrosa.

Normally, they are groveling to the upper-class nobles, but they have no way to vent their arrogance to the common people.

This slightly distorted Hall's psychology, which had been suppressed for a long time.

"In the final analysis, we are just taking back the rights that our nobles should have!"

The head of the Kaku family who spoke this time belonged to an ancient small aristocracy.

Eight hundred years ago, he was also one of the followers of the Donquixote Family, but he has been surviving to this day.

There is great resentment towards both the Donquixote Family and the Riku clan.

"It's time to redistribute power. The coolie clan has been around for a long time!"

Every time King Liku collected heavenly gold, he almost always asked the nobles to pay the big share, and they were already dissatisfied.

Let's use our money to do good things for you?

In the end, it is you, the Liku clan, that the common people are grateful to?

It can only be said that Dressrosa has long been a powder keg.

King Riku's death this time was just a trigger.

Ambition is something everyone has.

Sometimes, you just need an excuse to convince yourself.

As long as they succeed in establishing a new king, they will be able to divide Dressrosa's interests again.

After all, not all nobles gathered here.

And Scarlet and Violet are just two helpless women.

They want to break the boundaries of gender and become a king, but they don't admit it.

As for Cyrus, a criminal who was pardoned by King Liku.

They never regarded it as a competitor.

There is always a hurdle that nobility and common people cannot overcome.

Untouchables...just untouchables! !

Don’t try to fly up a branch and become a phoenix!

"Now I have received news from the World Government. The Five Elders approve of me as the new king of Dressrosa. It just takes a while to wait before I can officially ascend the throne and be crowned!"

Alec Edmund's voice was very seductive, and all the nobles present were a little ready to make a move.

After all, that was recognition from the Five Elders.

The legality is basically beyond doubt, it just takes time to wait.

It can be said that the probability of success in this matter is 99.99%.

And they can get huge benefits without doing anything.

[What a bunch of idiots, they haven’t come up with something with such a high rate of return! ! 】

Some people even began to laugh at the nobles who were not present.

"By the way, that Marine won't interfere with us, right? I heard that he seems to intend to make Cyrus the king of Dressrosa?" a noble said worriedly.

That's Marine Admiral!

If you are determined to confront them, you can probably defeat them all in an instant.

The skinny Newman couldn't help laughing, "What do you think World Government is? Marine is just a dog driven by World Government. What qualifications does he have to interfere in the government affairs of a participating country?"

Alec Edmund nodded: "I believe Marine will soon receive the news. The will of the World government cannot be defied!"

It's a pity that they don't have an intuitive feeling for Marine's bad character.

Willy shook his head secretly in his mind.

The Norton family is in the intelligence business, so naturally they don't limit their sights to Dressrosa like other nobles.

He can definitely recite the story of Marine Admiral's rise.

Of course, if the other party doesn't interfere, it won't do anything to him.

Just continue to be his right minister.

When it comes to being a king, he doesn't have such big ambitions.

Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy delicious food in comfort?

The power struggle is so tiring.

Willy just wants to lie down and be a salty fish.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

"Minister Zuo, ah no! Your Majesty the King, someone seems to be rushing over!"
