BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1048 -
“What’s the situation?”
Kuro looked down. “Is this… a funeral?”
Crowe reacted faster. He ran down and picked up a copy of the newspaper scattered on the ground. He glanced at it and his eyes narrowed as he ran up.
“Mr. Kuro, not good…”
“Yes?”
“The king of the Duchy of Faya is dead.”
“Huh?”
Kuro turned his head and looked over. With a hook of his finger, the newspaper flew in front of him. He quickly glanced at the page and directly scolded, “It’s really f*cking interesting. How much money did Morgan get? This kind of thing needs to be spread out? A newspaper worth 100 Berries is directly spilled?”
The news newspaper on it is not the World Economic News, but a local newspaper. But the key is that the News Bird is a f*cking product of Morgan, and the World Government uses a messenger bat.
The content on it was very interesting. There were two general points:
With the death of the King of the Duchy of Faya, the unification of Sematary and Felton declared war on the Duchy of Faya.
It was as if they had agreed on it.
“What the hell? Didn’t you just contact the King of the Duchy of Faya a few days ago?”
Kuro flew the newspaper to Crowe and sat down on the sofa again. He picked up a cigar and blew out smoke, then bared his teeth. “It’s really interesting. Someone doesn’t want the Duchy of Faya to become a member country? Who? Red Hair? He should have left. He doesn’t have the mood.”
“It should be a local noble.”
Crowe adjusted his glasses and analyzed the situation. “Mr. Kuro, the situation in the Duchy of Faya is not quite the same. The power of the king is not great. It is more in the hands of those big nobles. The territory that the king actually controls is only one-third of the territory of the Duchy of Faya. The rest is in the hands of the big nobles. Maybe there was an accident.”
Crowe, the self-proclaimed think tank, began to collect intelligence after Kuro ended his battle with Mihawk.
As a Marine, he could easily find the mayor and say a few words to him.
The Duchy of Faya is the same as most of the kingdoms in the world. Kings are not so much kings as the largest nobles, but in Crowe’s eyes, this is normal.
The Duchy of Faa itself is full of nobles, big and small. Among the four big cities, except for the capital which is controlled by the king, the others, including ‘Amdan’, are under the hands of other nobles, except that they are nominally under the Duchy of Faa. The king has nothing here except tax.
In terms of territory, the king holds one-third, and other nobles hold the rest.
“What accident? How can it be such a coincidence that he doesn’t want to join a country? This person has just died and the two countries on the other side are already here. They divided the land before becoming a country?”
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said, “I remember that it was this king who brought up the matter of joining countries. Once he dies, who can I contact?”
Although it is not a member country, and the World Government has no rule that it cannot intervene in the internal affairs of non-member countries, how should this kind of thing be handled?
One is Teach’s territory, and the other is Akagami (Red Hair’s) territory. Their country’s own civil war can be done without any interference. If Marine intervenes, it will easily become a Marine-Pirate battle.
This is the New World. Once it is not done well, it will become an all-out war between Marines and pirates.
After Kaido and Lingling formed an alliance, the remaining pirates in the New World seemed to have received a signal. As far as the information he knew, many pirates were secretly forming an alliance. Tiki’s not showing up now caused many people to target his position, but Akagami (Red Hair) began to act again, confusing the New World situation even more.
Now that the New World is like a gunpowder barrel, they can do whatever they want in the Pirate World, but once an external force intervenes, it is very likely to be big.
In the current world situation, he could not be touched.
This made Kuro feel very uncomfortable.
Kuro lay back on the sofa and asked, “Where’s Leda?”
“She might be eating outside. You know, Miss Leda has been looking for good food outside recently,” Crowe said honestly.
“Go find her and bring her back. Then, call the higher-ups and ask them how to solve this matter. In addition, what I want is how to solve it, not for me to be in charge of the operation. You have brought these words to me. As for how to achieve your goal, it is up to you.”
Kuro was already very numb. Every time he went out to do a mission, as long as things did not match up, he would solve it himself.
He was a Vice-Admiral, why would he solve it?
This matter is a little Muggle and will take into account the aftermath. He doesn’t want to take responsibility for this kind of thing. It’s better to leave it to the higher-ups.
“Hey, Marine!”
Just as Crowe was about to retreat, a drunk homeless man kicked open the office door with a wine bottle. The homeless man took three steps and shouted at Kuro and Crowe, “The king is dead! I order you to arrest other nobles immediately and control the Duchy of Faa.”
Kuro turned to look at him and said, “You claim to be the emperor of Astya, not the emperor of the World Government. The one sitting on the Sky Throne is not you. Who are you whining to?”
Crowe was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at Kuro, swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously bowed and left.
I feel that I have learned some unspeakable secret from Mr. Kuro’s words…
Is someone sitting on that Sky Throne?!
“Two kingdoms are going to fight against each other! They must have reached some kind of conspiracy with these rotten nobles! Although that damn king did not do well, he also came to you for the peace of his rule. But if he dies, the union will be gone. Those nobles will not recognize it. They just want territory. They don’t care who is the king. If they can get more land and wealth, they can sell anything!”
The vagabond, Pharatea Joshua, roared: “They killed the king, they are traitors! You must catch them!!”
These words made Kuro take out a cigar box from his arms and throw it to Joshua. He smiled and said:
“It’s a good analysis, but I’m a Marine and I’m not qualified to do this kind of thing without orders from the higher-ups. However, I can give you a proposal. Aren’t you doing a good job? Astya’s ‘Emperor’, just use your prestige to call for him.”
“Think about it, once you succeed, isn’t it up to you what this country will become? It’s better to transform the country according to what you want in your heart than to put your hopes on others’ awakening. If you don’t take the lead, why will others do what you say?”
“There has never been a road in the world. The formation of the first road is also the first person to walk out.”
