I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 430 No difference

The Principality of Dessou is a country located in the North Sea near the doldrums. It is located in an archipelago, with the entire archipelago radiating outward from the large island in the center.

This country is known to be the most peaceful and elegant country. People in the royal city, no matter they are nobles or citizens, try their best to be elegant in their food, clothing and daily expenses. Even those who are responsible for the lowest level work in the palace will try their best to dress appropriately after paying taxes.

As for those who cannot pay the tax.
What does the elegance of the royal city on the Big Island have to do with the slums of the archipelago?
Those who cannot pay taxes are not citizens of the Principality of Dessau, and they do not recognize it.

Only when the unpaid taxes are paid can one continue to be a recognized citizen of the Desso Palace.

But people who lost their homes and were driven to small islands on the outskirts found it difficult to survive, so how could they afford to pay taxes? Gradually, the small islands in the archipelago became real slums.

The population of the Principality of Desso is not large, but the people scattered across the surrounding islands are estimated to be around 30,000.

The current Grand Duke is currently worried about this group of untouchables.

"The Celestial Dragons will soon come down to inspect my place, and those lowly people still refuse to leave? If the Celestial Dragons find out that we are not elegant, we will be embarrassed!"

Below him, a group of subjects were silent.

There is really no other way.

Even if they wanted to burn it all down, there were so many islands that they wouldn't have enough time to do so. Although they drove the people away, that was different from killing them all.

We can’t drive them away, and we can’t kill them either. Now everyone is worried.

It would be great if some sea king came and specifically attacked those small islands.
"give it to me!"

Suddenly, a sinister voice was heard from outside the palace.

A navy man with a few tiny mustaches, who looked like a mouse and a cat, walked in. He saluted the Grand Duke and then said with a smile, "I just have an idea."

"Navy? Who let you in?"

The minister beside him said unhappily: "You have no right to interfere in the affairs of our country."

"Excuse me, I was just too impatient and wanted to share the burden of the station. I also want to be as elegant as the Grand Duke, and I don't want those people to defile my station."

The navy bowed deeply, saluted, and did not stand up. Instead, he raised his head and said, "One hundred million Baileys. For only one hundred million Baileys, our navy will transport those people away and will not let the Grand Duke have a bad reputation."

"Take them away. Where? No, that's not important. Can you really take them away?" The Duke's eyes lit up. "How?"

"Search and identify potential criminals under orders."

"No, it can't have any negative impact on my country." The Grand Duke waved his hand, "If that's all, then don't say it."

He said this place was a 'country of tranquility and elegance' and that reputation could not be damaged.

It would be so ungraceful for a country to not even have criminals!

"Well, isn't that elegant enough? That way, it will take more energy. Fine, I will use the name of the World Government to recruit them, but I will also take a big risk."

The navy smiled and held up five fingers, "Five hundred million Baileys, leave this to me."

"too expensive."

The Grand Duke shook his head and said, "It's just 100 million Baileys. You can handle this matter. If it doesn't work, then forget it."

Paying 500 million Baileys for a bunch of untouchables?

He would rather be robbed by pirates!

"make a deal."

The Marine straightened up, "Just 100 million berries, leave it to me."

This made the Grand Duke stunned. Is it so straightforward?

He originally wanted to have more talks. Perhaps with 200 million or 300 million, he could relocate all the untouchables and preserve the beautiful landscape, which would not be unacceptable.

As a result, they agreed for 100 million Baileys?

The navy officer kept smiling, but he was actually very happy. A net profit of 100 million.

This matter was an order issued from above, and it did not require any money at all. We could even make some money from above. But no matter how much money we took from this Grand Duke, it would be all in vain.

One hundred million Baileys is also a huge sum of money!
Anyway, those who were driven away can no longer be considered as members of the member states, which is no different from having no human rights.

Things like this happened in the four seas and in each of the member states in the first half of the Grand Line. Anyone who could not pay the Heavenly Gold and thus drove people away was contacted by the navy or government officials.

The number of people ranged from a few thousand to twenty or thirty thousand, and all were relocated.

And this group of people also made a fortune from the local king or grand duke. Although not all of them were as concerned about both face and substance as the Principality of Deso and paid 100 million Beli, tens of millions of Beli were still easy to make.

How to migrate
Some used the excuse of identifying criminals to bring these people on board, while others simply went up to rob them and later said it was a pirate invasion. Anyway, as long as they took away the burden, they were fine with anything.

Some navies don't want to do this, but new navies will immediately come to carry out the mission.

Of course there are righteous navies, and there are quite a few of them, but there are even more navies who obey orders, and there are also navies and government officials who want to get rich from this incident.

They didn't know why these people were needed, but the order was to transport them on board and then make the handover.

Besides the World Government,
The revolutionary army is doing it too.

The Kingdom of Cork is located in a certain part of the New World and has just been invaded by pirates. Why do we say just now?
Because a woman with short purple hair, wearing only a red long-sleeved vest and showing off her hot body, came and waved flags and shouted, causing these people who were frightened by the pirates' attack to inexplicably burst out with strength and repel the pirates.

"Look at you, you fools of the Kingdom of Cork. You don't even have a complete set of clothes. You are so oppressed. Why don't you go to another place?"

Bello Beti was shouting while biting a ladies' cigarette.

This is how she speaks, very upright, she would call others trash and scum, but the so-called scolding is just to arouse their fighting spirit.

After all, even though they were affected by the power of the Encouragement Fruit just now, most of these people performed poorly. Only a few of the leaders performed relatively well.

A person who had calmed down nearby raised his hand weakly: "Well, you don't have a complete set of clothes either."

Betty: “…”

"Anyway, our revolutionary army is recruiting brave guys to fight against this world dominated by the Celestial Dragons! But we are not going to give up on the others. This country is not good to you, so do you believe in the revolutionary army? If you do, then follow me and I will take you to live in another place!"

Compared to the World Government, the place the Revolutionary Army found was even worse. This country could barely pay taxes, people generally did not have enough food, and sometimes they had to endure the invasion of those bold pirates.

Even as a member state, this situation is sometimes unavoidable.

Under this environment, people's lives became even more difficult.

But even so
Not many people wanted to follow them.

At least this is a member state, so it is generally free from pirate invasions. And people who are not from a member state have no human rights.

As long as they stay here, no matter what happens in secret, on the surface, they are people with human rights.

Once you go out to sea, it’s hard to say.

This also prevented the revolutionary army's plan to put some of the guys who couldn't survive into O'Hara to improve their lives.

There are not many civilians under the rule of the revolutionary army, and those who join the revolutionary army basically go to the battlefield.

In the past, they were all rescuing people, or after leading the revolution, they would recruit some people who were loyal to the revolutionary army to join.

This is basically the first time I've done a job like this where I have to take everyone away.
Somewhat difficult to handle.

Although it is difficult, the base is large!

There were countless countries and islands like this on the sea, including some people from non-member countries who could not survive. Some of them had been rescued by the revolutionary army, while others had no choice but to trust the revolutionary army and boarded the ship.

The ships of the World Government and the Revolutionary Army eventually sailed to the New World one after another and met at the port of O'Hara.

No matter what the starting point is, at this moment.
It makes no difference.
