At this moment, Simon raised his hand and gestured to Loya, "I'm sorry, I still have one more thing to add. ”

"Well, Second Lieutenant Simon, please."

After receiving Luo Ya's response, Simon continued: "Speaking of which, the election of the king should not be as hasty as us. However, the situation is special now, so I have to make this decision. ”

"Then the cumbersome process of soliciting votes for a manifesto speech can be eliminated, so what determines the qualifications of the king now is nothing more than the following three foundations, strength, origin and fame."

"Kureha is absolutely satisfied with this strength, and I believe everyone understands this more or less. In terms of origin, Kureha has always been a native of the Magnetic Drum Country, and her previous identity was also a glamorous role like a doctor, so she met the qualifications to be the king in both of these two. Then there is only one problem. ”

Simon blew away the golden hair that covered his eyes, took out a scroll from behind him, and placed it on the table: "The question is, how do the people accept her as a witch, right?" ”

Simon looked around and suddenly smiled: "But I don't think this is a very serious problem, and even said that Kureha has gained more respect than fear and disgust in the hearts of the people of the Magnetic Drum Country!" ”

"Huh?!"

"How is that possible?"

A group of people looked at Simon in shock, do you understand what you're talking about?

That's a witch! In the Middle Ages on Earth, the villagers were eager to take her to the stake three times a day! You even say that someone will look up to her? Are you sure it's not a joke?

"Actually, that's exactly what it is." Simon opened the scroll on his desk and pointed to the medical records listed on it.

"You can take a look at this, and here is who Kureha treats and how much he charges. The missing Dalton's former chief of the guard pursued the witch until he was imprisoned by Valpo, a record that was terminated and thrown into the utility vault by Valpo. ”

Other words...... This scroll contains the truth that someone would revere Kureha?

Not only the mayors and residents' representatives, but even Loya was interested in what was recorded on the scroll at the moment. The group of people who were low wanted to hurry up and see what was recorded on it, but Simon's head turned quickly and he handed the scroll directly to Loya.

Opening the scroll, Loya and Chopper carefully examined what was recorded on the scroll. After a long time, Loya closed the scroll and handed it to Arudo on the left, smiling, "It seems that you are right, we don't really have to worry about the opposition of the residents after Kureha becomes king. Even if there is, as long as she controls public opinion a little, her image can be reversed. ”

Arudo, who took the scroll, was stunned by the dense characters on it at a glance, and handed it to the next one.

Although the characters are densely arranged, the size of the scroll is not large, and soon everyone in the circle has seen the scroll. However, some of them thought carefully after reading it, while others were at a loss and did not understand what was going on.

Simon explained with a smile: "Did you find out? Kureha collects a lot of money, especially when she needs to break the bank, and the objects she treats are treasures. ”

"Treasure?"

"Yes, they are indeed treasures to their families." Simon pointed to the above item and read it slowly: "This one must be this one, 1515 in the Sea Park calendar, Big Horn Town, Wilt Blacksmith Shop." Subject, Little Wirt, receives an honorarium, 20 Baileys. ”

"For a small blacksmith shop run by a single person, 20 Baileys is an astronomical amount, and it is difficult to make up even if the family is bankrupt. Although the Wirther blacksmith shop still existed, life has been tight. ”

"Yes." The mayor of Big Horn stood up: "At that time, Wirther borrowed 10 Baileys from me in order to raise an honorarium, and he has been repaying the money for the past few years, and it is only recently that he has relaxed a little. ”

"Then here's the problem!" Simon closed the scroll and held up a finger: "Ask yourself, if you replace Welter with everyone here, will you pay the price of bankruptcy in order to save your own flesh and blood who are seriously ill and almost die of fever?" In other words, for the sake of the most important person in your heart, are you willing to give up all material comforts? ”

This sentence is to the point.

Save people or keep money? I'm afraid that except for a few people who are not scheming and extremely individualistic, no one will choose the latter. In the face of Valpo's tyranny, the life of the inhabitants of the Drum Country at that time was so miserable.

Looking at the group of people who were silent in front of him, Simon had a confident smile on his face: "So, your worries didn't exist from the beginning. Indeed, because of the issue of honorarium, many people grit their teeth with hatred for Kureha. But at the same time, she was also their savior, saving their family. This contradictory emotion is piled up in their hearts, and this is what you see. ”

"No one will have a crush on Kureha, but no one will agree to what they want to do to her."

After listening to Simon's analysis, no one spoke underground for a long time, and they didn't know what to say at this moment.

It turns out that the Kurehaku peel, which everyone has always hated, actually has such a layer of thought in it.

Seeing that no one continued to speak, Luo Ya gave Simon a thumbs up in his heart, and then said slowly: "So, let's start voting now!" Raise your hand if you agree with Kureha as king. ”

The people looked at each other, and then raised their hands in turn.

No one will pour cold water at this time, and it is a foregone conclusion that Kureha will become king.

Getting the answer he wanted, Loya nodded with satisfaction and announced, "Then it is decided that the new king of the Magnetic Drum Country will be Dr. Kureha!" The matter will be reported by our Navy to the world government and its legal status will be recognized. ”

Oh!

Smack!

Whether it is sincere or not, the new king is finally confirmed, and everyone still has to applaud face.

At this moment, a naval soldier pushed the door open in a panic and came to Loya's side. His voice was not loud, but it was heard by the few people who were close by.

"Oh no, Lieutenant General Loya! The Kureha you asked us to find, she's gone! ”

"What!" Luo Ya pretended to be shocked and stood up: "How could such a thing happen!" ”

"Lord Navy, what the hell is going on?" At the table, the mayor of a small town looked at Loya in disbelief, not understanding why he was showing such a look.

"Well...... this" Luo Ya was hesitating, and another person entered the conference room, but he only stood at the door, saluted and reported loudly: "Report!" Cannibal Island has changed, and the whole island is sinking! ”

Hearing these two pieces of news, Simon frowned: "Such a coincidence!?" Kureha has just disappeared here, and something happened to Cannibal Island over there? Do you say ......"

Simon raised his head in shock: "Loya! ”

"Ahh I know! Chopper, who had been secretly stunned by Long Wei, was placed on the stool, and Luo Ya rushed out of the window with an arrow step, spreading his wings in mid-air, and heading towards the sinking Turtle Island in the distance.

In Simon's mind, no matter what Kureha does, Matilda and the others are still on the island! If Turtle Island sinks now, it is unknown whether they will be able to come back alive.

After all, such a large island sank to the bottom of the sea, and the whirlpool it brought up was enough to drag everything to the bottom of the sea, not to mention the few of them.
