Chapter 35 Since they refuse to submit, let's eliminate them completely.
Haworth Island, with a total area of approximately 20 square kilometers, is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a large plain in the middle, and only one gap in the south and one in the east of the island.
The southern gap leads to Batam, a famous commercial city.
The eastern gap, though not as famous as Batam, is still a very prosperous city called Hilo.
The fact that the Navy's 396th branch is stationed here makes many merchant ships involved in shady businesses unwilling to dock in the city, which makes it slightly less prosperous than Batam.
As for the capital of the Kingdom of Bessel, it is located at the foot of the mountain range directly north of the central axis of the entire island.
Backed by mountains and surrounded by two major rivers, the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Meanwhile, the two great rivers surrounding the capital also connect Batam and Hilo.
Although it appears to be inland, it actually has very convenient water transportation.
Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and took off from Batam Castle, flying along a large river running north to south.
Looking down from above, the river is truly a scene of hundreds of boats racing against each other, one after another.
Along with it, many villages along the way appeared very prosperous.
A hint of joy appeared in Kaido's eyes.
This country is indeed a good place to settle down in the early stages of development.
Then, a thought struck him, and he decided to conduct a general reconnaissance of the entire island before heading to the capital.
The azure dragon turned away from the sky, no longer paying attention to the sides of the river, and began to explore inland.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.
From the sky, he could clearly see that apart from the two riverside economic zones and the farmland of the villages along the river, the rest of the island was basically wasteland.
These lands are clearly very fertile, and could be cultivated into good farmland, yet they are simply not being used properly.
At most, there are a few scattered noble estates, which are fairly well developed, but in other places, you can't even see a few scattered farmhouses.
If this situation arises because the country has a small population and can feed everyone without cultivating much land, then so be it.
But ironically, the peasants who worked for the nobles were all starving and emaciated.
The fertile land was right outside the manor; if one was willing to cultivate it, theoretically, one could be more than wealthy, but certainly have enough to eat and drink.
As a result, such a large area of land was left uncultivated, while farmers only cultivated the land in the noble estates and no one went to reclaim new land.
"Hmm, this bizarre situation is either because the country doesn't allow land reclamation, or because the nobles are maliciously restricting the personal freedom of the lower classes."
"They would rather earn less themselves than lose absolute control over the fate of the underprivileged!"
"I think I know why Sonny wanted me to wipe out the king and the nobles all at once..."
Kaido initially had some reservations about his plan.
Should they simply establish a pirate crew, adventuring while robbing and gathering subordinates?
We should focus on establishing territory and developing our bases, using them as the center to expand throughout the West Blue, and then advance into the Grand Line.
After all, the risks they need to bear are completely different.
But now there's no need to hesitate any longer!
"Such good land, it's such a waste not to use it for farming!"
"And these nobles truly deserve to die!"
"If you don't take what Heaven offers, you will suffer the consequences!"
Gazing at the distant sunset, after nearly a day of reconnaissance, Kaido made a final decision.
The azure dragon, bathed in the orange-red afterglow of the setting sun, flew swiftly towards the capital of the Kingdom of Bessel.
………………
Night falls.
The magnificent palace lights were lit one by one.
A large group of elegantly dressed, well-dressed nobles, guided by their attendants, arrived at the palace's banquet hall to participate in the evening's revelry.
"Gentlemen! Ladies! Welcome to my 60th birthday celebration!"
"Nowadays……"
The king delivered a passionate speech, and the nobles below applauded enthusiastically.
Then the king spread his arms wide and shouted:
"There's so much wine to drink here, and so much delicious food to eat!"
"Everyone here may enjoy yourselves to the fullest until your bellies are bursting!"
Let's make the banquet lively!
The nobles responded loudly and then began to feast.
Even after everyone had eaten until their mouths were greasy and their clothes were soaked with wine, there was still countless dishes on the table.
But their stomachs were already full, and they couldn't eat any more.
Seeing this, the king sighed helplessly and had no choice but to order that the remaining food be used to feed the pigs.
"Remember to keep a close watch on the pigsty! Don't let those lowly people barge in and eat all the pigs' feed!"
After carefully instructing the guards.
The second event of the night has officially begun.
Just then, the moon rose, and the sky was filled with starlight.
With a wave of his hand, the king threw his royal robes onto the throne.
Many nobles in the audience also took off their outer robes and inner garments, and together with their wives, they openly faced the king.
The second event has officially begun.
At this moment, they were not concerned with the hierarchy of their titles.
Everyone is equal and free.
Anyone who takes a liking to another can dance or share a drink together.
The older ladies and the young knights.
The older knights and the young ladies.
Jazz and jazz.
Ladies and ladies.
Or even more combinations.
There are no restrictions; you can do whatever you want.
In order to make up the number of people, some young and strong guards and some young and beautiful maids also had to join in.
This is a true carnival, a carnival exclusively for the nobles!
Just as everyone was immersed in the revelry, a blue dragon silently flew up to the sky above the palace.
The enormous dragon body gradually shrank, transforming into a humanoid figure over seven meters tall.
Stepping on the fiery clouds, he found the location of the royal banquet hall and slowly leaned forward.
Then, with nothing to support him, he simply transformed into a shooting star and plummeted straight down.
"call out--"
A faint whooshing sound echoed through the sky.
This sound signifies danger.
However, the banquet hall was noisy, and no one heard it.
Everyone was focused on dancing with the person in front of them, and their remaining attention was also on searching around for the next person they might dance with.
Nobody pays attention to what's happening outside.
Even if someone does hear it, they'll just think it's someone's impromptu singing.
After all, this is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Bessel, the safest place in the country. There are enough guards outside the banquet hall, so they only need to enjoy this carnival party.
and so--
A huge hole was suddenly smashed into the ceiling of the banquet hall.
A large, human-shaped crater was suddenly smashed into the floor of the banquet hall.
When the roar resounded, when the smoke and dust rose.
An eerie silence instantly fell over the entire banquet hall.
All the Gatling guns that were firing simultaneously went silent, and all the dams that were releasing water simultaneously closed their gates.
The eerie silence lasted for a full minute.
A sharp scream finally rang out.
Along with this came various angry and painful roars.
Amidst countless grotesque faces, curses, and shouts...
A giant hand rose from the thick fog as if no one was there, and slammed heavily onto the still relatively intact ground, leaving a large handprint.
This undisguised action successfully attracted the attention of everyone who was screaming and shouting.
Their anger was thus drawn to the owner of the large hand.
"Ugh, it really does hurt a little..."
A tall figure slowly rose from the thick fog.
"I can feel it at a height of 1000 meters, so 10000 meters should be even more effective. The body-strengthening method of jumping off buildings doesn't seem to be entirely nonsense."
As he spoke, the tall figure waved his arms, stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed the dust.
This move revealed his true appearance to everyone, and of course, he also gained a clear view of the scene inside the banquet hall.
"Ugh, is this a party? Why is everyone so angry?!"
Scanning the pairs of angry gazes fixed on him, Kaido tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"Could it be... that some of you were scared out of your wits by me?"
In an instant, the anger in the banquet hall escalated to another level.
Many people began to emit unintelligible roars.
One of the middle-aged men even charged forward, swinging his fist.
boom!
The black spiked club came crashing down, instantly turning the middle-aged man's head into a bright red watermelon pulp, which splattered all over the ground.
The vibrant colors—red, white, and yellow—quickly brought everyone back to their senses.
"Guards!! Guards!!"
A naked old man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, started shouting at the top of his lungs.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized what was happening and began searching for clothes to cover themselves.
Kaido ignored the group, turned around, stepped out of the pit on a cloud of flames, and walked toward the throne.
I looked down.
The throne here is a bit small.
So he decisively kicked it off the platform.
He then used his fiery cloud to create an even larger throne and sat down on it with an air of grandeur.
“My name is Kaido. Some of you may have heard of me, while others may have no idea who I am.”
"But it's okay! I'm a very straightforward person."
"I'll only ask you one question here."
"To submit or to die?"
Splash...
No one paid any attention to Kaido's words.
Only a large group of armored guards swarmed in through the main entrance of the banquet hall.
They were all dressed in gleaming silver armor and wielded sharp swords.
They formed a dense battle formation, blocking Kaido and his noble ladies and gentlemen.
Kaido sat on the throne, looking down at the soldiers who surrounded him in a semi-circle.
They are elite, comparable to the elite soldiers of the naval branch.
But it's impossible for Kaido to recruit this group of people.
Because it was shown in the system identification.
Most of these people shared the same surnames as the disheveled nobles.
Even if they are not biological children, the relationship is probably not too distant.
Kaido couldn't help but sigh inwardly: The only option is to eliminate them completely...
Outside the guard line.
The old man who had just shouted for the guards has now put on a coat and gained a sense of dignity.
Having successfully summoned the guards, he didn't even bother to glance at Kaido on the stands, simply waving his hand.
"Hack him to death with a flurry of blows, then drag him out and feed him to the dogs."
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately raised their swords and stepped forward.
Upon seeing this, Kaido's eyes narrowed, a soft hum resounded in the air, and an invisible aura emanated from Kaido.
All the guards who were about to take action suddenly fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Hmph, you don't like nonsense, huh? Very well, I don't like nonsense either!"
Kaido, carrying his spiked club, slowly rose from his throne.
"Since they refuse to submit, then let's eliminate them completely!"
