One Piece’s Strongest Ice Dragon

Chapter 279 The King and the Sunken Turtle Island

At this moment, Simon raised his hand and signaled to Loya: "Sorry, I have one more thing to add."

"Well, Lieutenant Simon, please tell me."

After getting Loya's response, Simon continued: "Speaking of which, the election of the king should not be as hasty as we are. But now the situation is special, so we have to make a bad move."

"Then we can eliminate the cumbersome process of proclamation, speeches, and so on. So now, the qualifications of the king are determined based on the following three foundations: strength, background, and fame."

"Kureha is absolutely satisfied with the aspect of strength. I believe everyone understands this more or less. In terms of background, Kuleha has always been an aborigine of the Magnetic Drum Country, and his previous status was like a doctor. A glamorous role, so she meets the qualifications of being king on both of these. Then there is only one problem."

Simon blew away the golden hair that covered his eyes, took out a scroll from behind, and placed it on the table: "The question is, how will the people accept her as a witch, right?"

Simon looked around, and suddenly smiled and said, "But I don't think this is a very serious problem. I even said that Kureha definitely gains more admiration than fear and loathing in the hearts of the people of Drum Country!"

"Ok?!"

"how is this possible?"

A group of people looked at Simon in shock, do you understand what you are talking about?

That's a witch! In the middle ages of the earth, the villagers can't wait to drag her to the stake three times a day! You actually said that someone would look up to her? Are you sure you're not joking?

"In fact, that's exactly the case." Simon opened the scroll on the table and pointed to the medical records listed on it.

"You can take a look at this. This is the object of Kureha's treatment and the fee charged every time. The missing former guard of Dalton has been chasing this witch until he was imprisoned by Valpo. Was terminated and thrown into the sundry store by Walpo."

In other words... this scroll records the fact that some people will worship Kureha?

Not only the mayors and resident representatives, but even Loya is now interested in the things recorded on the scroll. The lower group of people wanted to quickly see what was recorded on it, but Simon turned his head quickly and handed the scroll directly to Loya.

Opening the scroll, Loya and Chopper carefully looked at the things recorded on the scroll. After a long time, Loya closed the scroll, handed it to Arudo on the left, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are right, we don't actually have to worry about being opposed by the residents after Kuleha becomes king. Even if there is , as long as she controls the public opinion a little bit, her image can be reversed."

Aruduo, who took the scroll, was stunned by the dense characters on it at a glance, and handed it over to the next one.

Although the characters are densely arranged, the size of the scroll is not large, and soon a circle of people have read the scroll. However, some of them thought about it carefully after reading it, while others were in a daze, unable to understand what happened at all.

In this regard, Simon smiled and explained: "Have you found out? Kuleha charges a lot of money, especially when she needs to go bankrupt, and the objects she treats are all like treasures."

"treasure?"

"Yes, they are indeed treasures to their families." Simon pointed to a piece of content on it, and read slowly: "This one is necessary, 1515 in the Haiyuan Calendar, Bighorn Town, Wilt Blacksmith Shop. Treatment object , Little Wirth, receive a reward, 20w Bailey."

"For a small blacksmith shop run by a single person, 200,000 Baileys are an astronomical figure. Even if the family loses everything, it is difficult to get it together. Although the Wilt Blacksmith Shop still exists, life has been tight."

"Yes." The mayor of Bighorn Town stood up: "At that time, Wirth borrowed 100,000 Bailey from me in order to raise money, and he has been paying back the money for the past few years, and he has only relaxed a little recently. a little."

"Then here comes the problem!" Simon closed the scroll,

Raise a finger: "Ask yourself, if you replace Wirth with everyone here, will you pay the price of going bankrupt in order to save your own flesh and blood who are dying of serious illness and fever? Or, for the most important person in your heart, Are you willing to give up all material comforts?"

This sentence hits the point.

Saving people or saving money? I'm afraid no one would choose the latter except for a very few guys with bad intentions and extreme individualism. Facing Walpo's tyranny, the life of the residents of Drum Country at that time was so miserable.

Looking at the group of people who fell silent in front of him, Simon had a confident smile on his face: "So, your worries have never existed from the beginning. Indeed, because of the issue of remuneration, many people hate Kureha so much. Gritting teeth. But at the same time, she was their savior, saving their family. This kind of conflicted emotions piled up in their hearts, and this is what you see."

"No one will have a good impression of Kureha, but if I really want to do something to her, no one will agree."

After listening to Simon's analysis, no one spoke for a long time, and they didn't know what to say at this moment.

It turns out that Kulehaku, who has been hated by everyone for a long time, actually has such a layer of thinking in it.

Seeing that no one continued to speak, Loya gave Simon a thumbs-up in his heart, and then slowly said: "Then, let's start voting now! Those who agree with Kureha as king, please raise your hand."

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, and then raised their hands one by one.

No one would pour cold water at this time, and it was already a foregone conclusion that Kuleiha became king.

After getting the answer he wanted, Loya nodded in satisfaction and announced: "Then it is decided that the new king of Drum Country will be Dr. Kuleha! This matter will be reported to the world government by our navy to recognize its legal status."

Oh!

Clap!

Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, the new king is finally confirmed, and everyone still has to applaud for saving face.

At this moment, a naval soldier pushed the door in panic and came to Loya's side. Although his voice was not loud, the few people who were close to him heard it.

"It's not good, Lieutenant General Loya! The Kuleha you asked us to find, she is gone!"

"What!" Loya pretended to be shocked and stood up: "How could such a thing happen!"

"Master Navy, what happened?" On the table, a town mayor looked at Loya in surprise, not understanding why he showed such an expression.

"Well..." Loya was hesitating, and got into the meeting room alone, but he only stood at the door, and after saluting, he reported loudly: "Report! There is a change in the cannibal island. The islands are sinking!"

Hearing these two pieces of news, Simon frowned: "What a coincidence!? Kuleha just disappeared here, and something happened to Cannibal Island over there? Could it be..."

Simon raised his head in shock: "Loya!"

"Ah! I got it!" Putting Chopper, who was secretly stunned by Longwei, on the stool, Loya rushed out of the window, spread his wings in mid-air, and headed towards the gradually sinking Turtle Island in the distance.

In Simon's cognition, no matter what happened to Kuleha, Mingde and the others were still on the island! If Turtle Island sinks at this moment, it is unknown whether they can come back alive.

After all, when such a big island sank into the bottom of the sea, the vortex it created was enough to drag everything into the bottom of the sea, not to mention Mingde and the others.
