In front of the Tianshou Pavilion, a huge platform has been built in the huge square. It is used as an execution platform. Around this execution platform, many residents of the Country of Peace have gathered. All of them rushed over from various places after hearing the news. After several days, they finally arrived at the City of Flowers and they are all waiting to see the execution.
The overall resources of the Country of Peace are not scarce, but pollution has changed the places where food is produced and there is no way to eat them. Only a few places where food is produced can be eaten, but there is no way to supply so many people and those few places where food is produced, most of them are used to supply the City of Flowers.
Faced with so many people, he could not let these people who did not even have food to pay for it, so Kuro made a decision.
Opening the warehouse, releasing grain, and implementing rationing.
Not 99.8, 98, 9.8, or even 10 cents. There will be food when you come.
Marines don't starve.
The standard of living in a prosperous place like the City of Flowers has dropped a lot, but correspondingly, more people can live.
However, this made some merchants in the City of Flowers feel very bad…
A group of Marines walked in the crowd, mixed with other people with different faces. Crocodile bit his cigar and walked in front. He looked at everything in the capital and clicked his tongue. "It's been so many years, it seems that it hasn't changed. Flower City…"
The Half-Merman Joe Rudolph looked at Crocodile and said, "I heard that this country has a powerful force. Now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary."
There were people walking on the street with guillotine blades on their waists. Although there were not many of them and most of them did not look strong, Rudolf could still sense their powerful life force when a few people passed by occasionally.
"In my memory, there are more of this level."
Crocodile blew out smoke and looked at the huge Tower of Heaven in the distance. "Did he do it?"
"You bastards!!"
There was a sudden shout in the street. A well-dressed merchant with several warriors was guarding the door of his shop. He shouted at the Marines who surrounded him, "This is my shop, my shop! You are not allowed to come in!!"
A Marine Lieutenant Colonel in the lead directly took out a paper order and said, "According to the regulations, your rice shop has to be supplied to the locals. We will compensate you for the money according to the standard price in the world, but you refuse to open the door, and there is evidence that you have hoarded a lot of food. How do you explain this?"
"This is my shop, I can do whatever I want! Even the general can't control me, what right do you foreigners have!" The merchant straightened his neck and roared, "Don't come in, I will kill anyone who comes in!"
As he spoke, those warriors drew their blades and looked fierce.
Around the merchant and Marine, there was a group of people watching. This group of people were dressed in ragged clothes and their faces were sallow and thin. Especially their stomachs, they were shriveled and it was obvious that they had not eaten enough for a long time.
The Marine Lieutenant Colonel shook his head and stopped talking. He just reached out and said, "Shoot."
Bang bang bang!!
The Marines behind him directly raised their guns and fired. A large number of projectiles brought out a little blood on these samurai and also pointed out a flower on the merchant's head. After the gunshot, the person at the door fell to the ground.
Then, the Marines rushed into the rice shop and opened the door wide, revealing the mountain of grain inside, causing a commotion.
Those who had been starving for a long time almost had green eyes and almost wanted to rush in, but in front of the long-barreled weapon in the hands of those in white uniforms that could easily kill people, they stopped.
The Marine Lieutenant Colonel glanced at the mountain of food and turned to the hungry people and said, "Line up and get it."
Boom!
The guns and order made them line up in a long line, waiting to get their fill of food.
"This…"
Rudolf leaned back, puzzled.
Is Marine this overbearing?
Before he became Shichibukai, the Marines he came into contact with were not so overbearing. Apart from eliminating pirates, they could not intervene in other countries' affairs, not to mention that there is no such thing as casually dealing with others in other countries, even if the Country of Peace is not a member country…
No, Marines are not this overbearing. It is the man who is overbearing.
Kim Jung-ho is not the only one who is domineering. He can talk to himself and give them many rules and regulations, forcing them to fight pirates in the New World. His subordinates are also more and more overbearing.
Thinking of this, Rudolf could not help but look at Kaz and Wilbur, who were walking in front of them.
This big-bearded man, a small-bearded man, 'Great Shield' Kaz and 'Great Spear' Wilbur, direct descendants of Kingpin, are also very domineering.
From the time they went to Dressrosa to the current Country of Peace, these two guys have never respected any of their Shichibukai's demands. Even the 'Empress' Boa Hancock was not allowed to stop and rest because she was tired of the Twin-Snake Mount. The two of them will not even say anything like 'you will bear the consequences'. They will only let us travel with them.
Twin Snakes is tired?
That can be tied to their ship. In short, they have to arrive within the time limit.
Especially the bearded man. He was not afraid of Hancock's censure, let alone Hancock's ability.
That is the world's number one beauty. Under the effect of the ability, even the slightest wavering of the mind will turn into stone, especially when Hancock's charm is fully activated. This bearded man is still the same, but he is as hard as iron. Rudolph is talking about his will…
However, Rudolf did not think that the bearded man was a ruthless person, but he could be unaffected. It seemed that there was some kind of belief supporting him, which was confusing.
Bucky suddenly shouted, "Hey, you've gone too far!"
He pointed at the Marine who seemed to be a part-time shop owner. Big Red Nose seemed to become even redder. "That person is not a pirate. How can Marine kill people for no reason!"
This is the hometown of Oden, and although he is Shichibukai, he is a pirate after all, so he naturally has to protect his country!
No one bothered with him.
Wilbur glanced at it and said to Kaz: "It's bad."
Kaz didn't answer and just nodded.
Wilbur continued, "We should have killed all these hoarding merchants and those nobles at the first moment and directly controlled the City of Flowers, so such a thing would not have happened. Those people who came from other places should also be placed in batches, and even let them participate in the crusade against these people to increase their sense of identity."
Kaz looked at the people in the queue in front of him, and his eyes fell on the Celestial Guardian Tower again. He said slowly, "This is why we came…"
Did Mr. Kuro summon them to see the execution? Or to defend himself?
No!
'Neither!'
The purpose of their coming here is to clean up the chaos in the Country of Peace!!
