Not long after Kuro went to the Country of Peace, in the sea not far from the border of Dressrosa, three great warships sailed.
The sky in this part of the sea is gloomy, and the raindrops are falling. Without any cover, the wind is also sweeping up the waves and hitting the hull of the Battleship.
The three warships formed a triangle. On the deck of the leading great warship, a man with a Marine cape put down the telescope in his hand, revealing a resolute face and a very characteristic beard, and said, "We are almost there…"
Beside him, a man with a sexy mustache stared ahead and nodded slowly. "Ligu Ligu, the destination of our trip also happens to be an outpost for Dressrosa to see the situation."
"It is our duty to deal with the pirates first," the bearded man said.
"You are right." Mustache nodded in agreement.
These two people were Doug Cass and Brown Hart Wilbur.
They were originally patrolling in Dressrosa, and then they received a message that there was a pirate invasion in a place called Liguiligu Kingdom, and they happened to be nearby, so they went straight there.
At the same time, as the behind-the-scenes decision-makers of Dressrosa, they also have an obligation to decide the next power that Dressrosa conquers, which is the so-called 'stepping point'.
When this happened in the Ligu Ligu Kingdom, it naturally attracted their attention.
This place is above the border of Dressrosa's power. It is a non-member country. Specifically, it is an archipelago, but except for the main island, the rest of the islands are very small and widely distributed. Not many people live there and they can be ignored. The main island is like a sledgehammer island. It is very long on top, like the handle of a hammer, and the bottom is the body of the hammer.
Wilbur said, "Liguriku is a good country. The planting industry is very good and it is famous for high-quality corn and bananas. The high-level kings and nobles are also good to the civilians and give them enough food and property. But there is one thing, they are often invaded by pirates. This is not related to them joining the country. If possible, the king may accept our theory and become part of 'Debon'."
They had intelligence on this kingdom. It was a rich country, and they were doing well. The civilians were very rich. Although the land was owned by the nobles, they gave enough rewards. However, the pirates invaded too often and came from time to time. And this time, according to the intelligence, it was on a large scale.
Such a country is the target that Dressrosa can fight for. Even if he can't, it's not the first target to deal with. Helping them is also convenient.
Who asked them to be Marines?
Wilbur looked ahead. Three Battleships quickly moved forward and broke through the clouds and rain. They saw the island that looked like a sledgehammer and said, "We are here."
Kaz waved his hand and a nearby Dougary Marine ran over and handed Den Den Mushi over.
He picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, prepare for battle."
The three warships did not make a sound, but the Marines inside all pulled out their weapons. They were silent, but full of power.
Three great warships, each can accommodate 800 people, the limit is 1,000 people.
Kaz and Wilbur, who have inherited Kuro's way of doing things, are naturally organized according to a thousand people. They have enough people because they got the technology of Vinsmoke and took the clones that Vinsmoke still has in reserve. After Kaz's baptism, they can enter the Marine Corps and become soldiers of Dressrosa.
With these 3,000 people, he could go anywhere.
The three Battleships quickly approached Long Hammer Island. Under the rain, they could still see some places on the island ablaze.
Wilbur frowned and picked up the microphone and said: "Pirate ship found at two o'clock, shelling and preparing to log in."
In their vision, there was a docked Pirate Ship in that direction.
The three warships quickly turned around. The leading warship stretched out its main cannon, and the other two ships on the side of the hull unfolded their cannons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells were blasted out in the rain and hit the Pirate Ship densely, instantly smashing it into pieces.
"Landing!"
Following Wilbur's words, the three Battleships approached the shoal near the Pirate Ship and the Doug Gregg Marine Brigade rushed down like a tide towards the tattered Pirate Ship.
This pirate ship has pirates left behind. Two pirates were not killed by the explosion. As soon as they jumped out of the pirate ship, they were immediately surrounded by Marines.
A pirate with a turban shouted in disbelief, "Sea, Marine?! Why is there Marine…"
Another pirate, whose arm seemed to have been blown off, widened his eyes and looked at Kaz and Wilbur, who were coming with a large group of people in front of him. He said in horror, "It's 'Great Shield' and 'Big Spear'. Why are the two of you here? This is not Dressrosa or even the World Government!"
They are famous in the New World.
"If it's not a member country, the Marines have no obligation to deal with pirates?"
Kaz came over and looked down at them. "Evil is evil everywhere. It has nothing to do with the place. If you encounter it, you have to care."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and was about to order their execution.
"Wait, wait, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, don't kill me!" The one-armed pirate immediately said.
'Say what?'
Wilbur put out his hand to stop Kaz's order. "Wait a minute, Kaz. See what they say."
Kaz frowned. "What is there to say? Just kill the pirates."
The one-armed pirate shouted, "I am not a pirate, no! We are also native people of the Liguroo Kingdom. We are just here to rob under the orders of the higher-ups!"
As soon as these words came out, Kaz and Wilbur widened their eyes. Wilbur stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the pirate with the broken arm, and lifted him up. He said fiercely: "What do you mean! You are not pirates?!"
"No, we were originally from the Kingdom Army, but we were later chosen by the noble lords to become 'Pirates'. These Pirate Ships are just disguises and hang a flag. The lords promised us that they would give us 10% of the money we get…"
Bang!
There was no need for him to continue. The excited Wilbur punched down and slammed the pirate into the shallow land. He took the opportunity to pull out his saber and stabbed the pirate with the headscarf.
Wilbur was so excited that his neck was red and his veins were showing. He roared, "He is an evil person who relies on lies to rule this country!!"
There was no need to say more. They had come into contact with so many countries and quickly reacted to the essence of this country.
The upper class nobles use welfare to make the civilians feel that this country is not bad. Even if it is robbed by pirates, it is not their fault. Those 'pirates' are just the black gloves of the nobles. After plundering the wealth of the civilians, they will return it to those nobles. This is better than direct exploitation. The civilians can't blame them, so there will be no riots. They will also have a stable wealth and they can support the Pirates to rob other places.
The raindrops fell on Wilbur. At this moment, he felt a chill in his heart.
Dressrosa conquered so many countries and killed so many nobles. Some of them collected taxes crazily, some of them sold their own civilians, and some of them didn't care about human lives. But none of these can be compared to the despicableness of this country!
Wilbur could imagine that after those civilians endured the Pirates' plunder, those nobles would come to appease them, give them hope, and give them the motivation to live and accumulate wealth again.
Then, like chives, after they grow out, they continue to cut…
They will live in this 'field' forever.
Under the rain, Kaz stared at the bodies of the two pirates and slowly said, "This is the greatest evil!"
