Chapter 278: King's Election!

"Let's not talk about that, let's go inside." Loya clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. Then he said to Chopper behind the sleigh, "Chopper, come to me." ”

"Don't!"

Chopper decisively refused: "You will wipe out all my hair!" ”

Poof!

Hearing Chopper's protest in a childish voice, a cadre of the Navy couldn't hold back his laughter. This made Luo Ya's face darken, and he came to Chopper with a shave, and scooped him up with one hand and clamped him under his armpit: "Hmph, since you said so, then I won't eat if I don't make you bald today!" ”

Then, despite Chopper's protests, Loya entered the palace with the little one in his pocket, accompanied by a navy.

As for Moore, I'm sure Simon will take care of it.

......

In the reception hall of the palace, a group of people sat down separately. Arudo, who went to the prison to review the list, also returned, with a bloody body.

In the face of the dissuasion of the naval soldiers, Arudo ignored it and directly punished the group of heinous thugs, so he came a little late.

These are trivial things, and no one even cares if they are stabbed to the marshal of the Warring States. Once Arudo was seated, Loya cleared her throat and began the meeting.

The content of this meeting is simple, there is only one, and that is how to put Kureha on the throne of king.

If there is one person who the people want to stand up most after Valpo's death, it must be that Dalton has not run. However, he was threatened by Valpo to go to Cannibal Island last night to investigate the situation, and was directly captured by Jones and could not come back. Coupled with his own weak strength, Luo Ya did not consider the possibility of him becoming king at all.

At this time, it was directly regarded as if he died on Turtle Island, and he was not evaluated.

At the same time, the mayors and representatives of the residents of each town in the Drum Country were also present, and as citizens of the Drum Country, they had the right to express their views at the meeting.

But the final decision is still in the hands of Loya.

It does sound authoritarian, but they ...... Or that the people of this world have become accustomed to obeying the strong. Blackbeard's type, after all, is only a minority.

After distributing the sorted materials and waiting for everyone to read them, Luo Ya slowly spoke: "Ahem, now, let's talk about any opinions." The reasons why I would like to make such a suggestion have also been written in the information, and I believe that everyone can understand the current situation. ”

Well, everyone understands it, and now whoever has the final say here.

It's just that letting the notorious witch be the king is really a test of the people's ability to accept it. Immediately, the mayor of Kester Town stood up, gestured to Loya, and whispered, "To be honest, if I didn't know that Kureha is as strong as the admirals say, I would never have agreed to let her be the king." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was not a good opening statement, and Loya was very helpless about it.

He told the truth that although Kureha had been outside Valpo, he was curing and saving people while avoiding pursuit. But the price she has to pay for the patients she treats is too great.

To put it mildly, it is not an exaggeration to go bankrupt.

This is the central point of the contradiction.

No one likes to be the king of such a guy who has exploited himself.

However, Loya also writes very clearly in the information about what will happen to the country without Valpo. Don't look at Valpo being easily solved by Arudo and Simon teaming up, but I have to admit that in the first half of this great voyage, he was already a small master.

With his presence, both pirates and bandits must carefully consider the cost of attacking the Magnetic Drum Country.

However, now that he is gone, the Drum Nation has lost its deterrent, and they must choose a strong man who can stand up to the scene to be the king.

Like in the original book, after the Straw Hats defeated Valpo, Dalton felt that the situation of sitting back and being at ease when he established the Sakura Kingdom would definitely not appear in this group of treacherous and cunning guys.

Rather give something, they will not agree to leave the hidden dangers.

"But, after all, she's the witch!" Another mayor spoke, and said with a sad face: "Unlike those ordinary people who have been bankrupt, several rich families in my town have been ready to buy killers to kill her several times, but I have suppressed them. Once she becomes king, I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”

After listening to the mayor's words, the rest of the people fell silent.

Indeed, that's the problem.

They do not dare to push the country into another pit for the sake of stability. If the people resist, even the navy can't make a move, right? After all, they are all for the sake of the country.

This is also the reason why Loya needs to convene a meeting to vote, Kureha's reputation in the Magnetic Drum Country cannot be said to be infamous, but it is still appropriate to stop children's night crying. Suddenly let her be the king, it's no wonder that the people below don't make trouble!

In this regard, Luo Ya felt very headache, and he found that he seemed to underestimate the people's will and public opinion.

"That...... I have something I want to say. ”

At that moment, a little brown poked out from behind Loya's chair.

"Huh?!"

"Yes...... Talking Tanuki!! ”

"Nope! He's a snow man, who once came to my town and was kicked out by us! ”

When Chopper appeared, the mayors in the lower ranks looked at him in surprise, not knowing what Loya was doing with him. Startled by their voices, Chopper shrank back directly, but a large hand grabbed him directly by the neck and lifted him into his arms.

Holding Chopper to prevent him from escaping, Luo Ya said lightly: "I believe that many people still don't know him, please allow me to introduce him." This is Tony Thorny, a reindeer that eats the fruit of animals. He is the son of the once-dead quack Silke and a disciple of the witch Kureha. ”

"Devil Fruit that turns animals into people?"

With the presence of Valpo, the people of the Magnetic Drum Country are no strangers to Devil Fruits. It's just that there is a devil fruit that turns animals into people, which really surprises everyone.

But now the focus is not on this, but on what Loya just said...... Silk's son, a disciple of Kureha?

Thinking of the quack doctor who constantly treated and "saved" people and was chased and killed by the guards in various ways, many old mayors showed a nostalgic look on their faces.

"Silke, I remember he's been working on skeletons, right?" The old mayor of Cocowit Town, who had met Loya once, took a puff of his cigarette and said softly, "I told him that this country is hopeless. But he didn't give up, and he kept tinkering with his so-called medicine to heal the country, which is really stupid to ......"

"That medicine exists!" At this time, Chopper suddenly interrupted the old mayor's words loudly: "Moreover, I will inherit the doctor's will and become a panacea to cure the country!" ”

Facing the angry, or rather sad, Chopper, the old mayor looked at him in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "Ah, so that's the case." Sorry, I lost my words. ”

Luo Ya quietly looked at Chopper, who had suddenly become bolder, and was silent.

Although the original book does not say it explicitly, everyone knows that what Sirke is pursuing is not an actual medicine, but a miracle!

However, compared to having Chopper saved by Luffy and their miracle three years later, he is now here. At that moment, Luo Ya held Chopper's hand a little harder, stopping him from continuing, and smiled faintly.

"Kureha's character is not guaranteed, but if she can raise such a scheming pet, I believe she will not be a bad person."

"So, let's start voting."

There was no need to let Chopper continue, he had already told them what they wanted to know. None of the old mayors present were fools, and apart from those with ulterior motives, Loya believed that they would not make irrational choices.
