"Thud, thud, thud."
The sound of dense and chaotic footsteps approached rapidly.
When Drake and his companions were mowing down pirates like cutting grass and quickly chasing after Rorschach, who had disappeared around the corner, a large group of pirates armed with swords and guns swarmed the long street of the royal city.
The pirates poured into the city gate, and as soon as they saw the bodies strewn across the ground and the headless fat man lying there, their faces changed.
"Damn it, Lord Troll has been killed!"
"Are you kidding? In the North Sea, who can kill Lord Troll in such a short time? From the time we received the news of the fight to getting here, it's only been a few minutes."
"Is this really the time to think about this? Contact Boss Meg immediately! A strong enemy is targeting us!"
A pirate with a pale face took out his phone and started dialing.
"Bluu bluu, bluu bluu."
In the center of the royal city, in the grand hall of Prince Ilia's palace.
A large round table was set in the center of the spacious and bright hall.
The floor was covered with a maple leaf red carpet, and the walls were lit with warm red candles.
There were graceful young girls, dressed in sheer fabrics, dancing elegantly.
Around the round table, everyone was laughing heartily.
Prince Ilia sat at the head position, holding up a tall glass.
"Gentlemen, let us witness the rise of a pirate kingdom in the North Sea."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Hahaha, this is fantastic, I've always dreamed of living in such a kingdom, where we can plunder and kill freely, and enjoy a wonderful life. Most importantly, we won't be pursued by those pesky marines."
A burly pirate captain raised his glass, drinking it in one gulp, laughing heartily.
"Exactly! Now that we've controlled the royal city, the entire Prince Kingdom is in your hands, Your Highness. Next, you just need to ascend the throne and get formal recognition from the World Government. The Prince Kingdom will truly become a pirate's kingdom."
"The only annoying thing is that to get the World Government's recognition, we have to pay more taxes, they're so greedy."
"But compared to safe plundering and not being harassed by the marines, paying a bit more isn't a big deal. At worst, we can plunder dozens more towns and villages each year."
Around the round table, the pirate captains from all over the North Sea spoke freely.
Ilia smiled throughout.
The four-meter-tall man sitting to his right was eating meat voraciously, his bloodshot eye fixed on the dancing girls.
"Your Highness, later send these girls to my room, along with some new fishman slaves. I think we can try something new."
Meg Jones said gruffly, tearing at a steak.
Ilia was about to nod with a smile.
At this moment, a slightly drunk pirate captain snorted discontentedly.
"Captain Meg, there are ten dancers here, and you want them all to yourself, isn't that a bit too much?"
Meg stopped smiling, looking up at the drunk captain.
"What did you say?"
The flower-eyed pirate captain banged on the table angrily.
"What do you think you are? You joined the pirates late, participating in fewer raids than us! Yet you take more benefits! Money, weapons, women, why should you have the priority?"
Meg grinned madly, continuing to tear at the steak.
"Is there anyone else who disagrees?"
A long-necked pirate stood up and angrily said: "We risk our lives in the raids, it's not fair that you take all the benefits. You're not the strongest here!"
Meg stopped eating, looking at the man angrily.
"Who's talking?"
From the other side of the table, the flower-eyed pirate captain said loudly: "You think you're strong because you have a high bounty? That bounty means nothing!"
"You ran away from the Grand Line in failure, and you think you're important here? Hand over the money you took, and we'll forget about it."
"Exactly!"
The long-necked pirate said: "We won't let you take everything. If you don't pay, we'll deal with you."
Meg continued chewing his steak, seemingly uninterested.
The man sitting next to him, with cold eyes, was watching the speaking pirate captains.
Suddenly, the phone in Meg's pocket rang.
"Bluu bluu, bluu bluu."
Meg took the phone and answered angrily: "What's the matter?"
"Captain Meg! A disaster has happened! Lord Troll has been killed, and all his subordinates are dead at the city gate!"
Meg's face changed, looking around angrily.
The drunk pirate laughed sarcastically: "Didn't I tell you, you wouldn't last long?"
Before he could finish speaking, the man sitting next to Meg disappeared and quickly pierced the drunk pirate's heart with a sword.
"Ah!"
The man fell dead, and Meg looked at the other captains angrily.
"Go and bring me the killers! Or else, you'll meet the same fate!"
