Fist of the Pirate

"Uncle, are you okay?" Luffy ignored Fraser who punched him twice and Sanji who wanted to educate Fraser. Luffy first helped Jacobs V who fell on the ground. However, this time Fafuqi, who fell to the ground, still spat at the old man.

"Traitor!" He glared angrily, as if he was taking Jacobs V to hell.

"You!" For such a stubborn guy, Luffy wanted to punch him, but his body could no longer bear it.

However, Jacobs V had no hatred for those who attacked them. On the contrary, there was sadness and guilt in his eyes.

"Stop attacking them. I have something to ask them." Jacobs V, who is over seventy years old, does not have the strong body of other strong men. The beating he encountered this time almost killed him. Half life.

Holding on to his crutches tremblingly, he walked up to Fafuqi and looked down at him: "You are a descendant of Odiswe."

"Bah, you traitor, bastard, you betrayed my ancestors! You abandoned them at their most critical moment!" Fafuqi stared at Jacobs V closely, with only hatred in his eyes. And there are no other colors.

"Yes, betrayal, I did betray them." Jacobs V murmured to himself, but at the end he had a smile on his face, as if he had returned to one of his best memories.

"I not only betrayed him, but also killed his subordinates, his most loyal subordinates. Looking back now, it's really fun! Hahaha!" Without evading his betrayal, Jacobs V watched Looking at the glaring knight below.

"I think you came here not just to hunt down a traitor. Let me think about it, you came here for the batch of supplies I escorted, right?" Looking at the hatred of Fafuqi and others, Ya But Jacobs V was like drinking fine wine.

"It's just a pity that the goods you found after digging up the grave were not the goods I escorted, nor were they the things your grandfather regarded as a turnaround. And speaking of which, those guys were your father's loyal subordinates." Pointing to the ones dug up At the grave, Jacobs V looked at Fafuqi and the surrounding Straw Hat Pirates.

"That's a good story!" Jacobs V was extremely proud when he mentioned the past.

30 years ago, Chris Kingdom.

"Those damn rebels! Kumawit, go summon my generals!" King Chris crushed the phone receiver in his hand in anger, and the loud sound of his slap on the table made the entire gorgeous Kreis The Royal Palace of Lys seemed to be shaking.

"Yes, Your Majesty." As the attendants ran, the generals scattered throughout the capital rushed over immediately.

"General Odiswe, General Jacobs, His Majesty the King has summoned you." In a tavern in the royal capital, Jacobs and Odiswe, who were playing cards, received the order from their attendants and immediately got up and rushed to the palace. go.

"In such a hurry, it seems that Bars City has completely fallen." Jacobs looked at the hurried soldiers and generals everywhere, and speculated that there might be a problem with Bars City.

"Yes, we have been surrounded for two months. When we were transporting supplies, the rebels had blocked the port and there were no reinforcements. They should have fallen by now." Odiswe, who had a bandage on his head, thought Jacobs is right.

"It's just something that was expected. There are fewer and fewer royal troops, but more and more rebels. Haven't you heard? The residents of Xinglian Islands have also begun to rebel. Since the large-scale rebellion, the kingdom's tax revenue has dropped from its original level. raised from 70% to 85%,” Jacobs couldn’t help but have a headache when he mentioned the kingdom’s issues.

As a king, Jacobs' monarch, King Chris, cannot be regarded as a generous monarch. He is generous to others, honest and trustworthy, and is not stingy with rewards for his subordinates. Even an ordinary general can be rewarded by the king. A rich reward.

However, to his subjects, he was an out-and-out tyrant.And the reason for all this is because of one person.

"Edward Newgate." Even after 30 years, Jacobs still feels inexplicable when he mentions this name.Because, the destruction of Chris Kingdom was indirectly because of him.

The Kingdom of Chris is located on the Great Route of the New World. At that time 30 years ago, the Rocks Pirates had already disbanded. Edward established his own Whitebeard Pirates, together with Gol D. Roger and the Golden Lion. -His name was Shi Ji, and he was known as one of the three great pirates at that time.

Compared with the elite members of the Roger Pirates and Shiki's flying army, the Whitebeard Pirates are the most traditional pirate group, but they are also the pirate group that the kings of the Grand Line hate the most.

Because unlike the lofty ideals of the two named after him, Whitebeard is simply a wealthy man with no ideals but the power to crush everything.His hobbies are banquets and raising sons, and what kind of sons can he receive for a villain like him in the eyes of the king, who are just a group of lone wolves trying to survive.

Unlike Shiki who values ​​strength and Roger who values ​​ideals, Whitebeard is a guy who accepts anyone who comes. As long as he abides by his family's rules, he is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, so this leads to Whitebeard's Turf is the largest of the three great pirates.

The biggest source of wealth of the Chris Kingdom was originally from plundering nearby non-world alliance countries, especially the Irabek Island, which is rich in gems and iron tools. Although there are some local knights, they are facing the hugeness of the Chris Kingdom. They are also vulnerable to the military situation.

But later, a guy appeared in Irabek, his name was Speedo Kil, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' No. 14 Division, Whitebeard's adopted son, and after planting Whitebeard's flag, Chris The kingdom lost its largest financial source, but it did not lose its largest creditor.

Heavenly Gold, if the Heavenly Gold cannot be paid on time, then what awaits the Chris Kingdom will undoubtedly be its demise.In order to raise heavenly gold, King Chris could only do his best to collect property. However, the extremely deteriorating new world made the Kingdom of Chris must maintain a huge army.

The combination of the two makes the tax revenue of the Kingdom of Chris reach as high as [-]% of the residents' income.Although the residents lived a hard life, they could only endure it. However, as the situation became increasingly serious and there were several small-scale natural disasters, the residents of the Chris Kingdom began to be unable to survive.

Especially after seeing that the surrounding seas were taken under Whitebeard's command, without the freedom of heavenly gold, and the increasing militarism of their own king in order to fight against Whitebeard, the residents of the Kingdom of Chris gradually began to be unable to survive.

"Because there was no hope of defeating Whitebeard, and their desire to join Whitebeard was rejected by the king, eventually the residents of the kingdom began to rebel. It was just a small-scale rebellion at first, but as time went on, the kingdom's finances began to become more wretched. , so in order to maintain military spending, the kingdom could only increase taxes, but the result of the tax increase was that more people rose up in rebellion." Speaking of those days, Jacobs looked heavy.

Because five years after losing the target of plunder, a full 15 residents of the Chris Kingdom starved to death. This was already a huge number for a small country with a total population of only 300 million.

"On that day, the king gave me a task and asked me to go to the West Sea to find a person."
