One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Chapter 129 Foolish! Even if you die, your entire country will belong to me!

The soldier, bayonet in hand, lifted the blond boy's clothes, hoisted the lithe boy up, and casually tossed him aside. He then said menacingly, "Since you're a resident of this town, don't interfere with the adults' work!"

"Do you know how many people, living on the garbage dump that you see as a garbage dump, actually survive on the residents of the inner town and the discarded trash?!"

"They are also trying to live every day! Although they can't afford the exorbitant taxes of the Kingdom of Goa, it's not their choice! Are they not trying hard enough?! That can't be! I have personally witnessed how everyone here is struggling to survive!"

"And yet you disregarded their safety and chose to burn the entire terminal station to the ground! Did you know that by doing this, you would burn thousands of people alive?! Aren't these people's lives human lives too?!"

The boy glared fiercely at the soldier and roared.

"I'm sorry, in this country..."

"Anyone who cannot pay their taxes does not deserve to be called a human being!"

The soldier's expression remained resolute in the face of this.

They are very clear about who pays them and whose money they live off.

"Don't be so naive. In the end, he's just a little brat..."

"If you can't see the whole picture, don't spout nonsense in front of us adults! Do you know how hard adults work?!"

The soldier questioned the brat in front of him.

"In this dog-eat-dog world, excessive compassion will not make a country better; it will only make an already imperfect world more horrific!"

"If Your Majesty, as you wish, does not burn this ugly place to the ground, then the Kingdom of Goa will not even be able to protect the other half of this beautiful town that looks like a fairyland!"

As the soldier finished speaking, he turned to the side and took a deep look behind him. Behind the iron gate, meticulously crafted by blacksmiths from across the Goa Kingdom and powerful enough to cleave the kingdom in two, lay a beautiful town that resembled a fairyland…

For a moment, the determination in his eyes became even stronger!

"The Waste Terminal and Duanzhen are like rotting flesh and tumors on the body of the Goa Kingdom! It's about cutting away the rotting flesh and benign tumors in time..."

"Should we leave this half-piece of rotten flesh, or quietly wait for the benign tumor to turn into a malignant tumor, eventually affecting the whole body and causing the once beautiful Goa Kingdom to be completely destroyed!"

“We adults know better than you, little brat…”

After the soldier finished speaking, he kicked the blond-haired brat away.

"If you understand, then get out of here!"

"When the fire really starts burning, you won't be able to escape anymore..."

After the soldier finished speaking, he picked up the flamethrower and continued burning the garbage at the waste terminal.

"what!!"

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

"It's on fire, it's all on fire..."

"Oh no! Soldiers are setting fires! Damn it, why would they do that?!"

At this moment, the residents of Youduan Town suddenly let out a cry of grief.

"Hahaha! Of course it's because you're all superfluous!"

“Ugly! You are so ugly, you disgust me…”

The nobles in charge of setting the fires, with disgusting smiles on their faces, excitedly talked about the charred corpses.

"nausea……"

As for the King of Goa Kingdom, he was currently fanning himself with a small fan, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face: "I don't know what's going on lately?! The Navy suddenly established a branch in Goa Kingdom. Goa Kingdom is already very safe; it doesn't need a Navy branch at all! This is terrible; it's caused all the pirates I could have used to be arrested and imprisoned in the Deep Sea Impel Down by the Navy! Otherwise, arson is best left to those desperate outlaws on the high seas! After all, it's easy to get rid of them after use, isn't it?!"

Yes, the Goa Kingdom originally intended to entrust the task of burning down the town to the pirates! Although the residents of Duan Town weren't exactly residents, the nobles still had their pride, and burning down a town wouldn't sound good to outsiders!

However, tomorrow morning, the esteemed world nobles and the great Celestial Dragons will be visiting the Goa Kingdom, so he can't worry about any of this anymore...

For a moment, the roar of flamethrowers filled the air!

The cries of countless residents living in Duanzhen.

“Eh, hahaha…”

And the boisterous laughter of the nobles echoed continuously throughout the chaotic town.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

"Is there anything we can do to save those people?!"

"It doesn't matter if the town is destroyed!"

"Thousands of people from the lowest rungs of society live here!"

"They shouldn't have died, they shouldn't have been burned like trash..."

The blond boy, gazing at the raging fire before him, could only pray helplessly. He gritted his teeth, but ultimately there was nothing he could do! He was simply too young, and his current strength was far too weak.

"No one will come!"

In response, the high and mighty nobles of the Kingdom of Goa coldly declared all of this.

The nobleman from the Kingdom of Goa looked down at the blond boy before him, his expression cold: "Open your eyes wide and watch carefully! See how those lowly people die!"

"asshole!"

The boy raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and filled with bright red veins.

"a ha ha ha……"

Just as the boy was in unbearable pain, accompanied by a burst of wild laughter, an old man dressed in floral shorts and a floral shirt suddenly descended from the sky, landing beside the blond boy and shouting, "I thought this country was completely rotten! But isn't there still hope?! Boy, you're right! In this world, no one's life can be easily taken away by others!"

"Hey! Who are you?!"

The nobleman of the Kingdom of Nagoya looked at the tall, muscular old man with veins bulging all over his body, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and asked in confusion.

"Huh? Are you asking who I am?!"

In response, the elderly man with gray hair looked at the nobleman in front of him and asked.

"Isn't that natural?"

The nobleman, somewhat speechless, continued to ask.

"I am..."

Upon hearing this, the old man prepared to introduce himself.

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

However, just as the old man was about to speak...

Accompanied by a synchronized drumbeat, like a giant advancing and the tremors of his footsteps, thousands of naval soldiers dressed in righteous sailor uniforms, carrying state-of-the-art water guns, ran toward the old man.

"Huh? Garp? You're the legendary Marine hero Garp?!"

The moment these naval soldiers bowed and greeted the old man in the floral shirt, calling out his name, the nobleman from the Kingdom of Goa was completely dumbfounded. He stared incredulously at the old man before him, who resembled a bodybuilder, and shouted, "Legendary naval hero, why aren't you staying in your Windmill Village? What are you doing here? According to the agreement, we didn't touch your village!"

Yes, even these arrogant and domineering nobles who look down on everyone and act like the king is number one and they are number two have heard of Garp's name! The name of the naval hero is too famous to be heard in the four seas and even the Grand Line.

Although, for the kingdom's nobles and king, someone like Garp, who completely disobeys the kingdom's orders and is so powerful that he can single-handedly take on an entire nation, is a truly uncontrollable factor among the top individual powers on this sea! According to the kingdom's plan, they will probably try to use moral blackmail to make Garp work for the kingdom, or expel this time-consuming fighter from the country!

However, Garp is a high-ranking officer in the Navy, a hero of the Navy, and a symbol of the World Government! Therefore, out of consideration for the World Government's reputation, the King of Goa Kingdom has been intentionally avoiding Garp all these years, and as a result, Garp and the high-ranking officials of Goa Kingdom have maintained a relatively peaceful relationship over the years...

There was even a tacit understanding between the two that as long as Karp did not leave Windmill Village, the kingdom's nobles and soldiers would not go to Windmill Village. As for things like the Heavenly Gold, it was the kingdom's nobles who were putting money into it. They never asked the commoners living in Windmill Village to contribute tax revenue to the country.

Besides, not only the high-ranking officials of the Goa Kingdom, but also the local thugs, some shady characters, and even some pirates who go out to sea, will not go to Windmill Village unless they have no other choice, lest they invite trouble! As for those who are blind, there are quite a few people who have been beaten down, sent to prison, or crippled by Garp's iron fists over the years.

"You ask me why I came here?!"

"Of course it's to save people!"

Upon hearing this, Garp, while picking his nose, addressed the nobleman from the Goa Kingdom in front of him as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Don't you know I'm a Marine? What else would the righteous Marines do when they appear in places of injustice but to save people? My army of justice is the hero of the people!"

"Idiot! These trash living in the abandoned terminal station aren't even people of the Goa Kingdom! In other words, the ones you saved aren't even human..."

In response, the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa argued forcefully.

"Whether someone is human or not is not determined by your kingdom's nobles! It is determined by our World Government, by our Navy! According to Article 55 of the World Government's Constitution..."

At this moment, Garp was like a hero who had saved countless people from suffering. He looked at the nobles of the kingdom with great pride, and his words were powerful and resounding.

"what……"

This scene made young Sabo's eyes widen, and for the first time, he felt a thought: "I want to be like that too."

However, adhering to the rule that coolness only lasts for five seconds!

When Garp mentioned the World Government Constitution, a hint of unease flashed across his face, and he paused several times.

Finally, Garp turned his head blankly to the Marine soldiers behind him and asked, "Um, what does Article 55 of the World Government's Constitution say again?! Char Aznable amends the constitution so fast, I can't quite remember!"

"So you didn't know, you bastard!"

In response, the kingdom's nobles, who were trembling with fear at Garp's righteous demeanor, roared angrily at him.

"Sorry! I forgot..."

Upon hearing this, Garp earnestly apologized to the nobleman of the kingdom before him.

"According to Article 55 of the World Government's Constitution, anyone who has lived in the territory of a member state of the World Government for more than one year is considered a national of that country! Nationals are obligated to pay taxes to their country on time in accordance with the laws of that member state of the World Government! And member states of the World Government are obligated to protect the personal safety of their nationals and to pay them Heavenly Gold annually."

The man questioned by Garp stiffened slightly at first, then slowly and deliberately recounted to the assembled nobles the constitution of the "World Government's Supreme Celestial Dragon Court," which Char had revised two years prior.

According to the hierarchy of legal codes, the constitution issued by Char Aznable is the highest-level legal text, while the codes issued by these World Government member states are local laws, which are lower-level laws! As for the codes issued by non-World Government member states, they are invalid laws.
