Chapter 1267: Morgan William's Plan! (3000 Characters)
The harmonious atmosphere among Charlotte Linlin, Ace, Tsuru, and others.
This was a relatively rare scene on the Sea Star at this time.
Just as introduced before.
Many Kingdoms in the Major Seas chose to resist the World Government's unified regime's pace with the strongest attitude and methods.
East Blue, Goa Kingdom.
"Why are you driving the police officers away?!"
"They are the police officers of Foosha Town, we want them to stay!"
"That's right, without these police officers and government officials, you nobility lackeys will definitely bully us again!"
At this time, the police station in Foosha Town was bustling with people.
The air was filled with various curses and accusations, and the atmosphere was exceptionally tense and volatile.
A group of Royal Army soldiers, wearing armor, draped in white cloaks, and holding SVT-40 rifles, were seen.
They stood with their backs to the distant high wall and city gate, their faces cold as they aimed their muzzles at the agitated citizens of Foosha Town before them. Mayor Woop, Dadan, and others were among them.
And between the two sides were fifty police officers led by Kamado Tanjiro, as well as a dozen government officials in suits.
They were trying their best to appease both sides and avoid an irreversible tragedy.
"I'll say it one last time, expelling all police officers and government officials from the Kingdom is His Majesty the King's order!"
But Commander Renato, standing at the front of the team of Royal Army soldiers, added fuel to the fire.
"Are you commoners going to defy His Majesty the King?"
Then his gaze turned to Kamado Tanjiro and the government officials, and he shouted:
"What are you still doing here? Pack your things immediately and leave this nation!"
"His Majesty the King said that the Goa Kingdom has decided to withdraw from the World Government!"
However, these words were immediately refuted by an official.
"First, we have not received notification to withdraw from the Goa Kingdom, so we cannot leave without authorization!"
"Second, in the newly revised 'World Government Constitution', there is no possibility of withdrawing from the World Government at all."
"Because the Sea Star no longer has non-affiliated countries, all nations enjoy the same responsibilities, obligations, and benefits!"
Commander Renato was furious upon hearing this and raised his blade, pointing directly at the official.
"Nonsense! Stop talking rubbish, we only listen to His Majesty the King's order, hurry up and get lost, otherwise don't blame us for taking action! And you commoners, if you don't want to die, disperse!"
Some of the Royal Army soldiers were children of nobility, and some were orphans adopted by nobility. They were used to being arrogant and didn't care about the World Government at all.
So when Commander Renato's words fell, they all pulled the bolts of their rifles, and their gazes became even colder.
For a time, the clicking sounds were incessant.
This also caused Kamado Tanjiro and the other police officers and government officials to change expression drastically.
"Don't shoot!"
"Calm down!"
After shouting, Kamado Tanjiro immediately said to Old Man Woop, "Town Chief, please tell everyone to go home immediately. We can handle the matter here ourselves!"
He meant this sincerely. Without these residents, he wouldn't have any concerns even if he had to take action.
"Alas, this old man has also tried, and shouted, but now everyone's emotions are high, how many people will listen?" Town Chief Woop sighed.
In his opinion, although everyone was trying to prevent the Royal Army from expelling the police station.
In fact, it was the dissatisfaction in their hearts towards the King and the nobility that finally erupted today.
Especially when they learned that the World Government was going to abolish the Kingdom and make the King and nobility get lost, they immediately gained sufficient confidence and courage.
This is why the scene before them was so united and so determined.
They wanted to confront the Royal Army, the nobility, and the King head-on.
With the World Government's support behind them, what was there to fear?
But still, the same words applied, their presence actually obstructed the police officers present.
So Kamado Tanjiro was both moved and helpless at this moment, and also very worried.
If the Royal Army really opened fire, he couldn't block all the bullets...
"Mayor Rocky, do you think we can leave first and talk after everyone has dispersed?"
Having no other method, Kamado Tanjiro had to propose this to the official with the highest rank.
That's right, the Goa Kingdom was rated as a 'City-level region' by the World Government.
(The mountain range between the outside of the fortress and Foosha Village was leveled in the previous text, connecting the inside and outside to form Foosha Town)
"This..."
Mayor Rocky showed a troubled expression. As an official, he clearly understood the importance of rules.
Leaving with his people before receiving a withdrawal notice would definitely bring him many troubles.
The best result would be that the higher-ups wouldn't pursue it, but the bad result was uncertain.
Compared to the death of some civilians, the impact on him would be much smaller.
As for the safety issue.
Not to mention that there was CP1 responsible for protecting him among the officials, and Kamado Tanjiro and these police officers would definitely prioritize protecting him.
And although there was a certain risk to life.
Compared to the political career he might lose after leaving without authorization, Mayor Rocky felt it was acceptable.
So he still shook his head and refused Kamado Tanjiro.
He could understand Kamado Tanjiro's idea, but he also had his own consideration.
Throwing away the rank he had worked hard for decades to achieve, just for the safety of this group of civilians?
How many people here would cry with him then?
Seeing this, Kamado Tanjiro didn't know what to do. Commander Renato in front of him was still shouting curses.
What a headache!
【Purururu, Purururu】
Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi calling suddenly rang out on the scene.
Both sides were stunned, because listening carefully, it seemed like two Den Den Mushi were making sounds.
The next moment, Commander Renato and Kamado Tanjiro simultaneously took out their Den Den Mushi.
Indeed, it was them.
For some inexplicable reason, as the two answered the calls, the nearby citizens gradually quieted down.
"Hello?"
Commander Renato answered first, and then heard the Den Den Mushi in his hand curse at him.
"Renato, what are you doing?"
"Why haven't you driven the World Government people out yet!"
Commander Renato quickly said, "His Majesty, these commoners have gathered together and are blocking us."
"Are the guns in your hands wooden sticks?"
"Those are semi-automatic firearms that I commissioned 'Morgan Company' to buy from the Hairy Bear Nation in the Demon Slayer World at a high price!"
The Den Den Mushi roared again, and Commander Renato asked in a low voice, "His Majesty, do you want us to open fire?"
"Fire!"
"Anyone who is unwilling to obey orders is no longer my citizen. They must either die or get out of my nation!"
These words were heard by many people.
This made the citizens furious, and they no longer had any hope for the King or the nobility in their hearts.
"Since that's the case, then we won't be citizens of the Goa Kingdom, but residents of Foosha Kingdom... no, residents of Foosha City under the World Government!"
Suddenly, Cali Dadan, standing at the front of the crowd, looked up and shouted angrily, immediately drawing the approval and agreement of countless people.
At the same time.
The Den Den Mushi in Kamado Tanjiro's hand was also talking to him.
"This is the Public Security Department. An arrest warrant is now officially issued for King Galil Pat of the Goa Kingdom. Anyone who obstructs law enforcement can be met with equivalent measures. Police Superintendent Kamado, please execute immediately."
"But..." Kamado Tanjiro was about to say that there were many civilians present.
Unexpectedly, the Den Den Mushi said again, "Also, according to reliable inside information, the firearms and ammunition of the Goa Kingdom's Royal Army are blank rounds that have not been filled with gunpowder."
"Ah?"
Kamado Tanjiro and the police officers and officials beside him were stunned.
Even Commander Renato on the opposite side, and the hundreds of Royal Army soldiers, were dumbfounded.
Blank... blank rounds?
"This is impossible!"
The Den Den Mushi in Commander Renato's hand seemed to have heard this.
"Morgan Company's reputation has always been very good, it's impossible for them to sell blank rounds, unless they don't want to do business in the future!"
"Renato, immediately order to fire, kill them for this King!"
Commander Renato heard the order, immediately hardened his heart, and fiercely waved his right hand.
The Royal Army soldiers on both sides subconsciously pulled the trigger upon seeing this.
This scene made the faces of many citizens in front turn pale, thinking they were about to be hit by bullets.
But who knew that after a few seconds, there wasn't even a gunshot...
The Royal Army soldiers stared at the rifles in their hands, dumbfounded.
This thing really seems to be just a wooden stick!
"No! Impossible! Impossible!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
King Pate, who was in the Royal Palace, had a bad premonition in his heart when he heard that no gunshot had been heard for a long time.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The next moment.
The King, who had been deceived, let out an angry roar, which echoed throughout Foosha Town through the Den Den Mushi at the scene.
"Morgan William!!!"
East Blue, Shimotsuki Village.
Since the villagers of Shimotsuki Village moved to the Red Line, this place has become the headquarters of Morgan Company.
"Hoo—"
A black-haired man in a black suit, white shirt, with his collar open, held a lit cigarette between his fingers, looked out at the blue sky and white clouds outside the island, and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.
He seemed to faintly hear the curses from the Kings of various nations in the East Blue directed at him.
"Heh, customers who are destined to disappear, it's better to sell them to the World Government. I have to thank Muzan for the inside information on this point..."
The man named Morgan William stood by the window, letting the breeze blow across his face.
He felt that the wind today was a bit bloody, not good to smell, so he closed the window and turned to leave.
The camera rose, passing through layers of eaves, revealing that Shimotsuki Village, which was originally full of green waters and lush mountains and vast farmland.
It was now covered by factory buildings and cement roads.
There were guards with guns everywhere, as well as people manufacturing various cold and hot weapons on production lines.
Because the World Government only prohibits the civilian production of automatic weapons and high-power weapons, such as grenades.
So Morgan Company only manufactures cold weapons and semi-automatic firearms, which can be said to be legal in all aspects.
As for the illegal ones, they are produced in the Demon Slayer World, which has nothing to do with them anyway.
As for the buyers, there are quite a few.
Not to mention the otherworld, just on the Sea Star mainland, William estimated there would be more in the future.
Because Doflamingo's Adventurer's Guild will eventually get on the right track.
At that time, more and more people in the civilian sector will need weapons.
The key is that the World Government has no intention of stopping it.
So he is preparing to get involved and try his best to secure a position as Vice President...
