Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"Brother Crow, what should we do next?"

A young rebel soldier walked over, wiping the tears that had streamed down his face from excitement, and asked.

The crow looked at the factory, now littered with corpses, and sighed.

Then, with a firm gaze, he said:

We must first capture the high walls and take all the soldiers of the King's Guard prisoner.

"yes!"

Everyone obeyed the crow's command without hesitation, their expressions resolute, and they strode out into the light, carrying their spears.

They had already planned out the follow-up work before this even started.

The crow divided the rebel forces under its control into several parts.

He personally commanded the best men, fully equipped, to take down the King's Guard on the high walls.

The remaining people split into two groups.

Those skilled in using artillery and naval navigation were tasked with controlling the ports of the Kingdom of Eryoko and taking precautions against naval attacks.

Another group infiltrated the kingdoms of the king and nobles beforehand, intending to control their escape routes and trap them in the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

As darkness fell completely, for some reason, the streetlights that were usually dim were not lit tonight. The soldiers, who were in a hurry to change shifts, stared blankly at the miners emerging from the shacks in the coal mining area.

"Captain, something terrible has happened, Captain!"

A trembling voice rang out, rushing into the house high in the wall and shouting at a chieftain who was drinking and eating meat.

"What's the panic?"

The leader was very unhappy. He had just started drinking and his craving for alcohol had just been aroused when he was disturbed by his men.

"Captain! Captain! The miners outside have mutinied again!"

The soldier hurriedly told the captain of the guard team what he had seen.

After hearing this, the captain was not in a hurry. Instead, he impatiently downed his drink in one gulp, slammed the glass on the table, and cursed, "Damn these scoundrels, all they know is how to rebel. This time, we must make them bleed more."

The captain didn't take the miners' uprising seriously. In his mind, miners were simply rebelling with sticks and pickaxes.

This high wall was one they could never breach.

The grumbling captain, after getting dressed, walked to the city wall, slightly drunk, and looked down. "My God!"

The dense crowd below really startled him; he had originally thought there were only a few hundred people, or at most a few thousand.

But when you see the densely packed figures below, like ants, you can probably guess how many people there are.

"Call the Navy right away."

The captain sobered up immediately and dared not boast anymore.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and call the soldiers next to him to call the nearby navy.

Captain, our Den Den Mushi seems to be jammed and we can't make calls.

A soldier said, holding a sleeping Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).

"What!"

"They even have a concealed Den Den Mushi!"

The captain could hardly believe his eyes, but the Den Den Mushi was indeed lying unconscious right before their eyes.

"Captain, what should we do?"

The soldier who had just called him called out in a trembling voice.

The captain, his face dark, slapped him across the face and looked up, cursing:

How would I know what to do? First, have the brothers hold the high wall; we absolutely cannot let those lowly people get up there.

Although he slapped his subordinate, the captain was still very unsettled!

The people below had not yet begun their formal attack, nor had they made any announcements.

But the captain saw it clearly: each of them was carrying a musket on their back.

That's why he was afraid.

After all, that was a musket, not a fire poker.

With a loaded bullet, an eight-year-old child could kill a guard.

He had certainly heard that many people in the navy or among pirates could dodge bullets, or even withstand them with their bare bodies.

But that's not him. He only got to this position because of his powerful connections. The captain on the high wall and the soldiers of the King's Guard were extremely anxious and tried to contact the navy.

The dragon below the high wall and the workers' rebel army behind him were not in a hurry. They stood in neat rows, carrying long guns, looking at the fully armed royal guards standing on the city wall.

Although they were inferior to their opponents in terms of equipment, the most terrifying thing about the rebel army was not their equipment.

It was their fearless spirit and their overwhelming numbers that set them apart from the enemy.

Even without the crows, Gonglong could easily breach this high wall now.

However, he didn't intend to do that. If he intervened, the rebels would have nothing to rely on.

A strong individual can change the course of a war, and this is certainly true in the world of One Piece.

However, during his conversation with Ryu and Raleigh, he realized that he would not be able to continue leading the Revolutionary Army in the future.

He couldn't manage everything by himself, so what he needed was a strong rebel army.

The Kingdom of Eryoko, if we disregard the navy and the World Government's forces, is not as hopelessly militarily weak as one might imagine.

From the perspective of the rebel army today, the equipment situation is only about 50/50.

Dragon hoped that the success of the uprising in the Kingdom of Eryoko would provide valuable experience for future endeavors. He needed a place like this to test Raleigh's ideas and his own.

"Go back now, lay down your weapons and go back, and we'll pretend nothing happened."

Before Long and his rebel army even reached the city wall, a nervous soldier couldn't help but shout.

He didn't know why, but when he saw the dark mass of people surging toward the high wall beneath his feet, his mind went blank, and all he could do was shout out this sentence.

"Ha, they're scared."

The dragon looked at the soldiers above and said something indifferently.

They didn't stop walking; instead, they continued walking forward.

The sound of the crowd's footsteps seemed to pound on the heart of the King's Guard.

Their hearts raced one after another, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

The soldier who had just rebuked the dragon was now on the verge of a mental breakdown. Upon seeing the approaching dragon, he instinctively raised his spear.

"If you come any closer, I'll kill you!"

Bang! A bullet was fired by a soldier with bloodshot eyes, his fierce gaze concealing his inner fear.

The bullet left a small crater near the dragon's feet, from which smoke was rising.

Long bent down, dug the bullet out of the ground, and held it in his hand.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Force, led by Svor, all held muskets and aimed them at the people on the city wall.

"You damned lowly people, leave now. I won't report this to the king. Let's pretend nothing happened and live in peace, okay?"

The battalion commander suddenly realized what had happened after the soldier fired the first shot.

Currently, he occupies a heavily fortified high wall, and he has soldiers, guns, and several small-caliber cannons.

Although calls to the Navy are temporarily unavailable

E

Thanks to the continuous increase in the number of troops in the Kingdom of Eryoko over the years,

The fortification commander was confident that he could stall until the navy arrived to suppress the miners.

Although the captain didn't know how the miners below had suddenly acquired guns and ammunition.

However, he did not believe that he had no chance of winning.

The captain, now brimming with confidence, looked down with utter disdain.

Although he was not a nobleman of the kingdom in essence, nor was he much more noble than the miners below him.

However, his years of dealing with nobles led him to mistakenly believe that he was half a nobleman, so he looked down on the miners below him who wore tattered clothes.

"You see, that's always how things are. Until the very last moment, the stubborn ones always believe victory is on their side."

Dragon understood perfectly well what the captain of the king's guard on the high wall was doing; he was simply stalling for time.

All they had to do was wait until dawn, until others discovered the miners' uprising, and then they would report it to the navy.

Once the navy learns of the news, it will rush to the Kingdom of Er-Yo-Koh to suppress the uprising.

"Bang!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out from the high wall.

A royal guard soldier stared blankly at the bloody hole in his chest, then looked at the person opposite him with an incredulous expression.

That area is also under the control of the King's Guard, and theoretically it is a safe zone.

But now, the soldiers there are still holding muskets that are emitting blue smoke, and they haven't put them away yet.

boom! boom! boom!

With the sound of a gunshot, the insurgents officially began this battle.

Countless bullets flew wildly around the high wall, and no one knew why.

Only the overseers who replaced the soldiers of the King's Guard knew why all this was happening.

"Chief, fighting has broken out up there."

Long nodded indifferently, showing no intention of making a move.

Because when he was discussing it with the raven, the raven was very eager for the task of breaching the high wall and told the dragon his thoughts.

The dragon thought the crow's idea was mature and feasible, so it agreed to the crow's request.

This is also because crows will be a key item that dragons will focus on cultivating.

Although Swall has spent a long time by the dragon's side, he doesn't have the ability to command an army like the raven.

"Drive them away quickly, they have betrayed us!"

The captain shouted as he spoke.

"With one force, he subtly lowered it."

Pressed tightly against the wall, I didn't dare to breathe.

mouth.

Bullets whistled through the air, carrying the thick smell of gunpowder and sending debris flying. Sparks flew from the points where the bullets struck the stones.

Although the King's Guard had very fierce firepower, the rebels did not fight for nothing.

Moreover, they also control a passage.

Although the King's Guard did initially suppress the rebels' firepower.

But gradually, the captain became more and more panicked.

He could clearly sense that the number of workers on the other side was increasing.

The people coming out of the steel factory quickened their pace silently after hearing the gunshots.

The workers are like mountain streams, constantly flowing into the great river.

Rows of workers emerged from all parts of the steel factory, walked onto the specially reserved passages, climbed the high walls, and raised their muskets!

The rebel soldiers didn't waste a single word; they simply raised their muskets and advanced step by step toward the king's guard.

Like a silent yet incredibly powerful torrent, it can destroy everything in its path without needing to say a word.

Killing Crow had somehow gotten to the front of the line.

Although crows are naturally quiet, his words finally ignited the hearts of all the long-oppressed workers.

In that instant, everyone erupted from their silence.

Heart-wrenching yet earth-shattering roars emanated from their chests.

All the pain of being oppressed, exploited, looked down upon, and humiliated erupted at this moment.

These angry shouts were like thunderclaps in spring.

From the moment it made its voice heard in the world, everyone knew that a new era had begun.

It will lead all those who refuse to be oppressed to overthrow the dark and corrupt rule.

Crow was infected by this power. He snatched the spear from the person next to him, raised the musket, and fired at the other side.

He charged ahead, followed by countless workers.

In the sky, the thick black fog seemed to begin to dim. On the city walls, the soldiers holding torches looked at the charging rebels as if they were seeing demons.

What the captain had considered an impregnable fortress turned out to be as fragile as paper in the face of this power, and was utterly destroyed.

The royal guards, who had been so tough before the attack, had lost their former bravado.

They huddled tightly behind their fortifications, trying to shield themselves from the bullets fired from the opposite side, but not one dared to return fire at the insurgents.

Moments later, the last member of the King's Guard surrendered.

This tall city wall, which the nobles considered impregnable, was easily captured by the workers' rebel army.

The rebels completely occupied the Coal and Iron City, a place filled with aristocratic rule and the cruel exploitation of the World Government. Although this was not the first time the Coal and Iron City had been occupied during the uprising of the Kingdom of Eryoko, it was definitely the first time that it had been done so quickly, with the least cost and the greatest results.

Once everything was under control, Raven ordered his rebel army to open the gates of Coal Iron City.

"Mr. Long."

The crow rushed towards the dragon the moment it saw it.

"Mr. Long, according to the plan, we have already taken control of the port, and our people are also ready in the noble's residence."

"It's 7:15 PM now, and we've taken Coal Iron City."

The crow was very excited about its victory and proudly reported it to the dragon.

Although the dragon was very excited after hearing this, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he patted the crow on the shoulder.

"Well done, Raven. But what we're doing now is because we've prepared thoroughly beforehand. Although it may seem a bit rushed, our manpower, weapons, and plans are all ready."

I believe this victory is well-deserved; let's speed things up.

"At 8:30 p.m., in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Eryokobu, we will judge the greatest sin of this country!"
