Chapter 204: The Outcast (2-in-1 Chapter)

Sherlock didn't speak, but Edmund on the side said coldly: "You live and do business in the free trade zone of the Navia Kingdom, you need to follow the laws of the Navia Kingdom, the words of the consul here are the law, and those who die are disobedient, do you have an opinion?"

The pirate captain snorted, but finally didn't say anything, the average bounty of the pirates in the East China Sea is only three million, and these pirates operating in White Pine Town have generally been cleaned up by the Morgan Pirates, not everyone has the confidence of Bucky and Aaron to attack the banks here, and even Bucky and Aaron are both characters who have ventured on the Great Voyage, and the bounties are generally higher than most pirates in the East China Sea.

……

While Sherlock and Edmund were talking to a group of pirate captains, there were people in the same small building watching the situation in the square.

Dampier opened the blinds, looked at the commotion that had subsided in the square, and then turned around and looked at Bucky, the clown lying on the ground: "He said he invented that cannonball?"

Bucky the Clown now loses the vigor of the original bombing of the Flash Gold Bank, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, his lips are white, his body is covered in burns, and he is also missing a front tooth, lying on the ground, dying.

William sat on a sofa, drank a glass of mead in his hand, frowned, and said, "That's right, and he also named the cannonball Bucky, after himself." ”

"Then he's a talent," Dampier looked at Bucky in surprise, "I can let him join my lab, I just don't know if he'll be honest." ”

"I think so too, as for whether he will be honest and obedient, you don't have to worry," William sneered and took out a box and opened it in front of Dambil, "This is a Devil Fruit ability, no wonder he knows some bank details and dares to rob him." ”

Danbiel looked at the box, but found that it contained a neatly sliced piece of meat, he subconsciously frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"His heart. William grabbed the piece of meat in the box, and the power of the Devil Fruit activated, and the heat quickly condensed on his hand, and at the same time, Bucky, who was lying on the ground like a dead fish, screamed and rolled on the ground in pain.

Danbiel noticed that Bucky's left chest was missing a piece, but strangely there was no blood coming out of that area.

If Bucky is compared to a man made of countless building blocks, then the flesh and blood building block containing the heart on his chest at this time is equivalent to being held by William in his hand.

"The power of the Devil Fruit?" a flash of brilliance flashed in Danbiel's eyes, "It's amazing, even the heart can be separated from the body." ”

"Don't play dead," William said to Bucky, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, "Captain Bucky, you heard what we just said, your Devil Fruit abilities can't save your life, stay in the lab for me, I'll keep you safe." ”

Bucky gasped and glanced at William with some resentment, "You want me to be your slave?"

"You should be glad that I saved you your life," William closed the lid and said coldly, "You ruined the Flash Gold Bank, I don't know how much trouble you caused me, if it weren't for the things in your head, I would definitely let you die a miserable death." ”

In the final analysis, the foundation of a bank is actually two words - credit.

Officially, the Flash Gold Bank has the endorsement of the Navia Kingdom as a member of the World Government, and the Morgan Pirates, and the army of the Navia Kingdom as a substantial force guarantee, so it can attract all kinds of illegal funds, including pirates.

And in this troubled era, force is the biggest barrier, even more important than funds, and it is also the most reassuring for people like pirates, in the past, the Flash Gold Bank has not been robbed, but it has never been like today, the entire bank has been demolished into ruins, which will obviously shake the confidence of outsiders in the bank, so William will be very angry at first.

William's unbridled ability to evaporate groundwater and other water sources and envelop the island with steam was intended to be a declaration of force and to restore some of the confidence that might have been lost to the outside world after the destruction of the Flash Gold Bank.

William shook the bell in his hand, and two men came in through the door and carried the bruised Bucky out.

When only William and Danbiel were left in the room, Danbiel asked, "If you want to keep Bucky alive, how can you explain the bank's affairs?"

"The bank was robbed by the fishmen, and it can only be robbed by the fishmen," William said meaningfully, "Tomorrow's newspaper will say the same, since the bank has been destroyed, and there is no way to hide it, just use it and let it help promote the terrifying image of the fish-man and the dragon pirates." ”

……

In a small town in the kingdom of Navia, on the dock, a little boy with glasses and a pink middle head is holding the latest "Donghai Shimbun", looking at the news on it intently.

The little boy named Kirby looked at the news published on it about the fish-man pirates attacking the bank in White Pine Town, and sighed from time to time.

Some of the adults on the dock couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Kebi as little adults.

"Kirby, how are you doing on this exam?" a playfully angry young man shouted to Kirby.

Kirby was interrupted from his thoughts, glanced at the other party with a wince, and replied reluctantly: "It's okay, but some subjects are not ideal." ”

At the end of last year, William officially began to implement compulsory education in the Kingdom of Navia, and he also built nearly 20 new primary schools in the country, except for the capital Kalmar City, every village and town also guaranteed the existence of national primary schools, and at the same time promulgated the "Compulsory Education Regulations", requiring all minors between the ages of six and 12 in the country, regardless of gender, to receive education.

Whether it is a city or a township, as long as there are students who miss classes, all of them will be recorded, and parents will be fined.

By the time the emigration movement was launched, William had already taken the opportunity to abolish the local self-government institutions and take local power into the hands of the central government, and the local administrators were all appointed by the central government controlled by William.

In addition, William also reformed the education system, referring to the national education system established by Napoleon, including teachers in the state bureaucracy, resolutely suppressing the living space of local private schools, forcibly realizing the state monopoly on education, and establishing the Ministry of Education to supervise the education situation in villages and towns.

In this environment, local governors only need to be responsible for their superiors, and although the process is inevitably rude and eager for quick success, the promotion of compulsory education in the local area is very efficient.

It was in this situation that Kebi entered the small town national elementary school.

Kirby is a child who loves to read and learn, which can be seen from his heavy glasses, but the school established by William does not only focus on book knowledge, limited to the general environment of this world, but also pays great attention to physical subjects, although Kebi is in primary school, swordsmanship and physical arts courses are already compulsory subjects, but these two subjects are Keby's shortcomings, before entering the national primary school, Kebi has always been a child who does not like sports very much, which leads to his current serious subjectivity, and his grades have not been up or down.

A short, strong, middle-aged man dressed as a porter seemed to know Kirby, he stepped forward and persuaded Kirby: "You should go and have more contact with your classmates, and if you have free time to read the newspaper, you might as well do more training. ”

Kirby muttered reluctantly, "We haven't seen pirates around our town in years." ”

Although Kirby said quietly, the middle-aged porter's ears were quite good, and he still heard what Kebi said, and reprimanded loudly: "How long have you not encountered pirates, and in what year did you not have pirates around the town before?"

"The reason why there are no pirates is because of the policies implemented by the Archon, and the East China Sea is only like this in our country, and you often run to the docks, don't you see those maritime merchants complaining?

Kirby stopped talking, he actually knew that what the other party said was correct, and what he just said was just to justify himself.

There are also history and social classes in Kirby's school, why this era is called the era of pirates, the reason and the current situation, Kirby knows very well, before William took charge of the central government, Kirby and the people in his hometown were afraid of pirates beyond words, in the environment at that time, a place like Keby's hometown, no one dared to say that it was absolutely safe.

So at that time, under the influence of the environment, Kirby had the idea and ideal of becoming a navy at a very young age, but after going to elementary school, through the teacher's narration and the content of the textbook, he knew a series of things such as the Draco people, the hooves of the dragon, the slaves, the kingdom on the bridge "Tekira Wolf", the demon slaying order, etc., although there was not much commentary on these phenomena in the classroom and books, but Kirby gradually dispelled the idea of becoming a navy in his heart.

At least the navy under the World Government can no longer represent the word "justice" in Keby's young heart.

Kirby's latest dream now is to enter the Newest College in the capital city of Kalmar in the future, and after graduation, join the chamber of the first consul of the kingdom, Morgan William, to follow the great consul and better build and defend his homeland.

Others are right, Kirby glanced down at the newspaper and remembered the news content on it, in this era of pirates, it is not easy to get a peaceful and stable life, even the kingdom of Navia, which is protected by Lord Archon, will be attacked by fish-man pirates, and he must also work hard to become stronger, in order to be like Lord William, to save this era, and do his part.

……

"Zangao, have you really met the consul of the neighboring country?"

In the village of Kekoyasi, in a clearing in the village, a group of local villagers surrounded the troubadour Zangao and asked.

Holding the guitar, Zangao plucked the strings, played a string of notes, and said, "Of course." ”

Zangao's words are actually half-true, he was originally a wandering dancer, but unfortunately he was so unknown that he did not have enough to eat every day, and whenever he was hungry, he would rely on sleep to fight off hunger.

Later, I don't know if it was because he slept too long, or because he had hallucinations, Zangao couldn't remember clearly, he remembered that he found that he had a mushroom on his chin, and when he was hungry, he ate the mushroom head, and since then he has gradually mastered hypnosis.

William's reform of the army can be called a meritocracy, as long as capable people, unless it is a criminal wanted by the world government, even if it is a person who commits crimes in other countries, he is not to blame in the past, but in fact, Chloe, who originally controlled the full power of the intelligence agency, did something similar before William.

In order to do a good job in intelligence work, find out all kinds of news, and integrate into various classes and groups, Chloe inevitably needs to recruit all kinds of talents from three religions and nine streams, and develop countless downlines through the senior agents in his hands.

In addition to finding out the intelligence of the Evil Dragon Pirates at close range, he also had to do a good job of public opinion in the local area, not only to promote the terrifying image of the Evil Dragon Pirates, but also to make the local residents despair of the kingdom's ruling class, the world government and the local navy, and prepare for the final merger of the places controlled by the Dragon Pirates into the Kingdom of Navia after William led the team to drive away the Dragon Pirates.

"I've heard before that no city or town in the kingdom of Navia have been raided by pirates since the consul took office?" asked one villager.

"Indeed," Zangao said something like that in front of many people, how many times, but he could still say it with sincerity, "I have traveled to so many countries, and the Kingdom of Navia is the most peaceful country I have ever seen. ”

"If Aaron's gang occupies a village in the Kingdom of Navia, I don't know what the Archon would do. Some villagers sighed.

Another villager said hatefully: "Anyway, they will definitely not ignore us like the old men of our country." ”

When Zangao first arrived in the village, he was very eager to help them contact the outside world, especially the ruler of the kingdom of Falais.

However, Aaron's bounty is as high as 20 million Bailey, which is one of the best among the bounties of many pirates in the East China Sea, and the Falais Kingdom, to which Cocoa West Village belongs, dispelled the idea of rescuing several occupied villages, including Cocoa West Village, as soon as they heard about Aaron's bounty amount.

Almost immediately, the news reached the local villagers, letting them know that they had been abandoned by the country's rulers.
