Pirates of the First Empire

"It's a long story..."

The old man was asked by Doyle, he hesitated to speak, it seems that this is indeed a complicated question.

"Actually, I don't know much about the Country of Flowers, but I do know something about the situation in the West Sea."

"Let me introduce myself, I'm from South China Sea, Kingdom of Andre, Andre Doyle."

Doyle clearly felt a sense of helplessness from the tone of the old man from the country of flowers who had left his hometown. Obviously, it had something to do with the old man's involuntary words.

And this kind of irreversible general trend is generally related to the national conditions of the country. Therefore, Doyle talked about the situation in the country of flowers seemingly abruptly, and said his identity, which means that he is willing to listen to his story.

The old man is old and sophisticated, and he is also considered a well-informed person, so he understood Doyle's meaning immediately. Obviously, he already knew the identity of Doyle and others.

However, whether he knew it or not, he could only continue if Doyle took the initiative to speak out, otherwise he could only pretend that he didn't know.

The more than 170 affiliated countries of the world government only account for 60% of the countries and 70% of the population in the world, and the rest are non-affiliated countries.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Andre and the Kingdom of Flowers are the best among these more than 300 countries, and they have a natural basis for cooperation, which is why Doyle is willing to intervene.

"Old man, Lu Xiude, the patriarch of the Lu clan in the country of flowers in the West Sea, has met Prince Daoer."

The old man lifted up the sleeves of his robe, got up, saluted deeply, and then announced his family name.

But his name is very interesting.

"His Highness Doyle, the prince, is what the country of flowers calls the crown prince of the country."

Sure enough, for fear that Doyle might misunderstand something, Lu Xiude then took the initiative to explain.

Before he could continue speaking, Elsa approached Doyle and whispered in his ear.

It turns out that, except for the information that Doyle is interested in asking Luo Wang, other details (in fact, those that Doyle didn't care about) are sorted out and stored by Elsa.

With Elsa's near-photographic memory, the information was also recorded in her mind during the process of sorting it out for emergencies.

At this time, Elsa told Doyle the more important information about Xihai and the Kingdom of Flowers first, so as to avoid being ignored by others because of poor information.

"Old man, you can talk about it."

After a while, Elsa returned to her seat, and Doyle nodded to Lu Xiude, indicating to continue your "performance".

"Your Highness Doyle, the current situation of our Kingdom of Flowers is not even as good as the situation before your country was unified. The world government and other forces do not want to see a unified Kingdom of Flowers."

Lu Xiude showed a wry smile, this trace of smile, it can be seen that the old man is well-bred, and he has to force a smirk when facing the guests, otherwise there will only be bitterness left.

Indeed, the Kingdom of Flowers has a long history, comparable to the Alabasta Kingdom with a history of at least 4000 years, but the current situation can be described in one word, that is: falling apart.

Since the establishment of the World Government, the navy of the Kingdom of Flowers can only be renamed the navy. After hundreds of years of development, it has been split into nine branches each with their own masters.

Among them, some are completely "pirate-like" like the Babao Navy, and some are gradually "mafia-like" like the Nine Treasures. Today, there are only two left in the hands of the King of the Kingdom of Flowers.

Today, the Country of Flowers, with a population of 5000 million, has split into more than a dozen countries. Only less than one-third of the area and one-fifth of the population are left under the control of the royal family Ji's family.

The most deadly thing is that under the "care" of the world government, the weapons of the Kingdom of Flowers are very backward. In terms of technology, they are still stuck in the era of cold weapons.

The domestic army, if there is no "funding" from foreign forces, is basically pecking at each other.If it weren't for the fact that there are more masters under the royal family, it would have been annexed long ago.

"The dark world and the local mafia in Xihai, under the indulgence of the world government, have long regarded my country of flowers as their own back garden."

"They control the arms and manipulate the wars of various countries, and sooner or later they will drain the foundation of the entire Kingdom of Flowers."

It can be seen that this old man Lu is holding back his anger to say these words.

Countries like Andre and the Country of Flowers, which are "cared for" by the world government, have two common characteristics. The first point is obvious, that is, they have a large population.

The second point is the natural rejection of the world government. Even if it becomes a member country, its citizens will basically not work for the world government or its forces.

They are more willing to choose to serve their own country and fight for the strength of their own kingdom, rather than choose a world government with greater power and future.

It's just that the situation in the South China Sea is different from that in the West China Sea. The world government can't block Andre at all.

"The old man's family is proficient in weapons and machinery, and has always been the strongest in cold weapons. Therefore, they also control the weapons and armaments of the entire Kingdom of Flowers."

"Powerful and exquisite mechanisms are the pride of our clan, but in the face of cheap and crude thermal weapons, we have suffered a crushing defeat."

As he said, Mr. Lu took out a mechanical bird from his arms, and threw it vigorously, and the mechanical bird flew out, which surprised Doyle and the others.

As we all know, real "flying" is an extremely rare existence in this world. According to Oda, even Kaido can't really fly.

Here again, there is a certain "classmate Doyle" who has inexplicable confidence in himself in science, but it is him before the awakening memory of the previous life.

I also saw the existence of airplanes in memory fragments, but unfortunately after a series of uses, the plan of "hand rubbing airplanes" finally failed.

This is not the key point. The key point is that after the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, Doyle told Alpha and other doctors about the various principles of aircraft he learned.

I hope they can inherit their "last wish" and conquer the sky one day. Unfortunately, the technology development of the steam series has been successful, automatic weapons have been successful, signal towers and handheld devices have been successful...

In the end, even the jetpack was removed, but the plane always seemed to be missing something.

Doyle came to the final conclusion - it is caused by a completely different material world and its completely different underlying logic.

However, what even the Academy of Sciences representing the most cutting-edge technology could not do, the old man in front of him, who was troubled by the sanction of thermal weapons, did it easily!

Don't say it's just Doyle who was shocked, even if Dr. Alpha was here, I'm afraid he would be shocked too.

Lu Xiude's expression didn't change much. From his point of view, almost everyone who saw the organ Asuka for the first time was like this. He didn't think much about it, but continued with a solemn expression:

"So, even if there is no entrustment from His Majesty the King, I must be responsible for this matter. In any case, the King's Army must be equipped with the most advanced thermal weapons."

"The West Sea is definitely impossible, so the old man can only find arms dealers in other sea areas, and the only one who can transport arms across sea areas to cooperate with our country is the one in the North Sea."

"Doflamingo!"
