The crowd gradually gathered at the entrance of the huge palace.
This palace was not as gorgeous as Kuro thought.
Instead, it was very dilapidated and many places had not been repaired.
"Your Majesty… No, is the palace of the Ogg bastard so dilapidated? It's unbelievable."
Someone in the crowd muttered.
They had not been near the palace since five years ago.
No one dared to approach this terrible place except for Krane Ogg, who ordered no one to approach it.
"That bastard only cares about making fun of us and doesn't even repair his own home!" Someone next to him said angrily.
"Forget about this, we are here to overthrow him!"
"Yes, overthrow him!"
"Sagar, come!"
"Yes, Sag, you led us and only you are qualified!"
The group of people looked at Sag.
The young man at the head of the crowd took a deep breath and looked at the closed door of the palace and shouted, "Break it open, rush in and overthrow Krane Ogg!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dick next to him threw the big gun out.
Boom!!
The door was completely blown open by this thunder-like blow, raising a cloud of dust.
The scene in the palace was revealed.
It was so narrow that people outside could see it at a glance.
Almost at the end of the gate, a thick wall blocked it, separating the huge palace. At the front of the wall, there was a dilapidated throne. A handsome blond man leaned there with his arm supporting his chin, his eyes looking down coldly at the people outside. The spear that broke the gate fell directly in front of his feet.
Seeing this person, everyone held their breath.
Krane Og!
The king of Krane and their once beloved prince!
"Og…"
Dick's expression was very complicated, and his mind was flying.
… .
"Hey, young man, why are you going out to sea? This is the Spiral Sea. Ordinary ships that enter here will only be swallowed by the whirlpool. Anyway, thank you for saving me. Unfortunately, I broke a leg."
"I want to save my country!"
The blond youth looked determined. "For this, I will go to sea to find strength!"
"Huh? Save the country? You mean the Kingdom of Krane? Can that country be saved?"
"There must be a way, there must be a way!"
The blond youth said, "No matter the price, I will save it!"
"Hahaha, a very ambitious young man. How about this, you saved me, then I will teach you spear skills. Don't look at uncle, uncle's spear skills are very strong."
… .
"Oh! You are actually a prince! This is too surprising. Is it a prince who saved me? Hey, Your Highness, my leg is gone and I can't be a pirate anymore. How about I open a tavern here? If you are a prince, you will definitely take care of my business in the future."
"Hahaha, Ogg, are you learning fast? You're very talented. Have you been trained before? Then you can finish your apprenticeship after a while, and then you can protect your country."
… .
"Og, you killed another wave of pirates today. Come on, you can definitely do it. I'm counting on you to bring my gun skills to greater heights."
… .
"What, Ogg? What happened to you, you won't come again? What happened? Ogg!"
… .
Dick's last memory was of the blond youth, composed of perseverance and cheerfulness, turning into a figure that disappeared after indifference.
"Oh? So many people, what are you doing in my palace? I seem to have ordered that the pariahs are not allowed to approach my palace."
Krane Ogg looked at the flood of people gathered at the door and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. "Or do you want to rebel?"
"Shut up! Krane Ogg!"
"Your reign of brutality is over!!" Sarger pointed the flintlock at him and shouted.
"Oh?"
Krane Ogg glanced at Sag, and his eyes revealed a hint of fluctuation. "Why, just because you are a group of pariahs? You want to resist my rule? Is it very powerful to have many people?"
"Shut up, Ogg! You evil man, five years ago we should not have sat by and let you kill His Majesty Krane Savis!" A citizen shouted.
"Savis?"
Ogg tapped his head with his fingers and closed his eyes, as if remembering this man.
… .
In the depths of the palace, the blond man stabbed a kind-looking old king in the chest. His head hung on his shoulder, and his tears wet his clothes.
"Father, forgive me."
"Go do what you want to do…"
Blood flowed from the corner of the old king's mouth. He smiled and reached out his trembling hand to touch the blond man's head. "It's just that it's been hard on you."
… .
"Oh, that indecisive old fool."
"If he had given me the throne earlier, I wouldn't have killed him."
"And Princess Winnie, she is a kind person. If she is the king, we will not be like this!" Another citizen shouted.
… .
"Og, you are a gentle child…"
A woman with wavy blonde hair pulled the hand of a blonde man with tears on his face and stabbed the knife in her hand into her heart.
"If you want to do it, make up your mind and do it until the end."
She smiled.
… .
"Oh, that woman who only knows how to put on a fake smile…"
"It affects my mood too much. Killing it will make me happy."
"And Prince Scott! He is better suited to the throne than you!!" A citizen pointed at him and shouted hysterically.
… .
"Brother, I'll leave everything to you."
The blond man raised his pistol and aimed it at his head. At the same time, he smiled at the young man in front of him whose eyes were almost swollen from crying. "This matter will be very difficult."
Bang!
… .
"If he doesn't die, how can I inherit the throne?"
Ogg's eyes were even colder. "I am the only heir of this country, peasant, recognize this fact."
"Not anymore!!"
"We came out of the mine and have made up our mind to overthrow you! Og, no one supports you now. Your loyal dog, Barber, is dead!!"
… .
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we found it! We found it!!"
A man who was very heroic back then rushed in excitedly. "Found it! This country is saved! It's saved!!"
"What did you find?"
A slight fluctuation appeared on the face of the indifferent blond man.
"A man with Haoshoku aptitude!"
The valiant man almost cried tears of joy. "Just today, a little ghost released Haoshoku and stunned the pirates. That must be Haoshoku. That kind of aura, I am sure! That little ghost is called Sag, he must be our savior!"
Then, he said sadly, "It's just that the pirates attacked his parents and his parents have…"
"Barber… Start the mine plan."
"But, Your Highness, he is only twelve years old!"
"Then nurture him for a few years and protect him well! Remember, the people in the mine can die, but their physique must be cultivated well, especially that person named Sag. He is the spark of this country… When we arouse the resistance of the whole country, this spark will ignite and this country will be reborn."
The blond man knelt down to the soldierly man and his head hit the ground hard. "Barber, I want you to be a sinner!"
"For this country, please!!"
… .
"I knew it, useless trash."
Ogg snorted disdainfully. "With that fat body, you can't do anything. It's good to die."
