The year 1522 of the sea calendar is 1522

The Straw Hats reunited on the ninth day of sailing~

New World ~ Sophie, the kingdom of Marceau

……

Arthur, the young King of Marceau, sat in the council hall with his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about some problem~

More than a dozen Kingdom officials bowed their heads and stood quietly not daring to disturb.

The situation in the Kingdom of Marceau is already very bad, and it is only expedient to select the best knights in the country to establish the Peak Knights~

There are two functions~

First, let the people of the kingdom think that the royal family of Marceau will participate in the World Conference with sincerity, and there will never be any more incidents that offend the Draconians, and ask for forgiveness as much as possible to lift the ban on the sea.

Second, with the knight's sense of honor, there will definitely be many powerful golden knights and even big knights coming to participate in this selection competition, which can weaken some of the rebel forces in the country that are ready to move, so that King Marceau can participate in the World Conference without worries.

lest King Marceau participate in the World Conference on the front foot to strive for the lifting of the sea ban, and the country will be full of smoke on the back foot, and the royal city will change hands.

In front of King Marceau's eyes was a report on the revival of the city of Alicante, signed by Christine, the lord of the lord.

As one of the nine knights in the kingdom, and the ruler of this Arricante, she is also the distant cousin of King Marceau~ Her report is not heavy.

Aricacan is the most important territory in the kingdom of Marceau, after the royal city of Asteria, and it has also suffered the most damage in the ban on the sea, but it is said to be the most erosive territory in the kingdom now.

"You have also read the report, what do you have to say?"

With his hands crossed on his lap and his chin resting, King Marceau threw the question to the officials.

The group of officials, who had been standing as statues all along, remained silent.

Even the officials who received the royal family's salary chose to ignore him, and one can imagine how low the expectations of the people in the kingdom have been for the royal family.

All this is what the young Arthur has to face, after the death of the troubled King Marceau, and the two kings of Marceau who are trapped in a golden cage and only care about pleasure, let alone the people of the kingdom, even the current King Arthur of Marceau has no confidence in the royal family.

After waiting for a while, no one said anything, Arthur was a little bored, and shook his head helplessly~ "Agreed, all the contents of the Arikant revival plan,"

"Your Majesty, no!"

Finally someone spoke!

It was the chief administrator of the kingdom, Lommell, who saw that he did not wait for King Marceau to speak, and continued to state expressionlessly, "This dragon country that suddenly appeared to build a trade with our country, we don't know their details at all, and this dragon country is not an ally of the world government, it is very likely to be opposed to the world government, if we build a trade with it, not only will we violate the sea ban, but also deepen the misunderstanding with the world government!"

"I suggest that this Dragon Nation mission of unknown origin should be expelled from the island, and the situation should be reported to the World Government, or more likely, forgiveness. ”

"Seconded, the ranch is the foundation of our Marceau Kingdom, and the Dragon Nation has no bad intentions when it wants to interfere. “

"The revival of Yaricante is not desirable! The construction of a cloth factory, on the surface, will provide many jobs, but in reality, the waste water generated from the factory's manufacturing process will destroy the grasslands. ”

Without waiting for Arthur to respond, more than a dozen clay sculpture officials opened their mouths to agree and stated various reasons at length, not caring at all that the young man sitting on the throne was already sinking like water~

"Hehe~"

Arthur chuckled coldly~

Interrupted the suddenly lively Kingdom Council Hall~

"What I'm a king did is really a failure~ I can't even decide whether a decree is passed or not. ”

Arthur said with a sneer~

In an instant, the council hall returned to its original state, well, the clay sculpture hall.

"Indeed, a bit of a failure~"

The council chamber suddenly remembered a gentle, irresistible male voice.

The officials looked around.

The voice was definitely not from among them, but from the direction of the throne.

"Introduce yourself, Aricante temporary messenger, Dragon Prince of the Dragon Country~"

Green showed his figure, and he was also sitting upright~

Flush with Arthur~

After convincing Christine, Lord of Aricacante, Green came to the palace non-stop and directly interviewed Arthur, King of Marceau, who had been vacated by the noble officials of the kingdom.

That's why today's drama is here.

As for hiding the figure, it's too simple~

Nami can do it with the help of tools and knowledge, not to mention Wa Yuan, Hai Yueming, and Green, who have mastered water vapor.

"Bold! What dragon prince of the dragon country is blatantly eavesdropping on the politics of the Marceau Kingdom. Someone!"

Rommel, the chief consul of the kingdom of Marceau, sensed that things were out of control and shouted at them.

"Don't bother, when I came, the guards you arranged in the palace have been solved, now, you can sit down and talk~"

This is part of Robin's reformulated radical plan to directly uproot the source of the hindrance in Marceau's kingdom!

Among them, Rommel, who came from the Knights of the Round Table family, was not only the chief consul of the Marceau Kingdom, but also the spokesperson of the noble officials in the Marceau Kingdom, and the uncrowned king of the Marceau Kingdom.

Young Arthur was just a puppet, a symbol of the kingdom.

Rommel's face changed greatly, and the guards arranged in the palace, but there were a large number of golden knights, even a few big knights, so they solved it quietly without bloodshed?

"How is it possible, the Great Knight An Meikai has the strength close to the Great Knight Chief. ”

Green smiled and didn't speak, the sea has been forbidden for forty years, and the people of Marceau's kingdom have forgotten how big the world is, even if they occasionally encounter pirates who are docked, they are just pirates who have just entered the new world.

No matter how strong the strength is, it is limited.

Except, of course, supernova.

The Grand Knight Commander is indeed the pinnacle of strength in the Kingdom of Marceau, but when put on the entire sea, it is only equivalent to the strength of the rear admiral of the Admiral.

Otherwise, Christine, the Grand Knight of the Lord of Alicante, would not have been persuaded by Green so easily and agreed to help the Dragon Kingdom and Marceau Kingdom establish a communication business.

It's really too big a gap in strength, if Green wants to come hard, unless it's the Dark Dragon Knight Daxiu who comes back to life, no one can stop him.

"I have already talked to you King Arthur, with Alicante as a pilot territory, comprehensively transform and upgrade the kingdom of Marceau, so that the spirit of chivalry can also cross the sea, of course, if you have any opinions, you can also put forward, it is up to me to decide whether it is passed or not!"

For a while, looking at the domineering and wanton Green, more than a dozen Marceau Kingdom consuls were speechless. It is an eternal law that a weak country has no diplomacy.

In this world, as long as the strength is strong enough, one person can determine a country!

"The will of the dragon king is the will of this king"

Arthur cheered very happily.

Since he succeeded King Marceau at a young age, he has not been so happy for more than ten years. In my heart, I completely let go of the kingdom in name only.

"I advise you, don't think about inciting the people, the fleet of grain ships and merchants of our Dragon Country will arrive in the Marceau Kingdom one after another in the near future and fully take over the Marceau Kingdom. If you cooperate and contribute steadfastly, maybe King Marceau and I can consider retaining some of your status and rights."

The Grimm Overlord was domineering and powerful, intimidating the officials of the Marceau Kingdom.

Even if the overall strength of the kingdom in the New World is dozens of times stronger than that of the kingdom located in the paradise, such as Alabastan and the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, it is still not an opponent that Green needs to struggle with now.
