Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 115 The era of national chaos

Wanting to know more detailed information, Vlad and his gang focused on the soldiers of a certain kingdom who were tied up in a shameful posture by Paine.

"Why attack us?"

Vlad was a little confused. They didn't fly the pirate flag, and these people were obviously not pirates or robbers. Why did they shoot at them when they met for no reason?

One of the slightly younger soldiers said confidently: "Do I need a reason to beat you? You can do whatever you want on our territory!"

"..."

Vlad immediately gave him a thumbs up, awesome!

Hey guys, this is the land version of pirates!

Marcus walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Young man, don't speak so aggressively, especially when you are under the control of others."

The soldier shook his shoulders and shook Marcus's hand away. He held his head high and said, "You care about me? Try touching me if you can!"

"Hey! You will die if you try!"

Paine couldn't stand how crazy this man was, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to kill him.

This young soldier was also stubborn. He rolled his eyes after being pinched by Pan, but he still had no intention of giving in until he died completely.

The other soldiers were so angry when they saw this that they tried their best to break free from the vines and avenge their companions, regardless of the thorns piercing their skin and bleeding.

"These are guys who are used to seeing blood."

Marcus made a comment, then leaped into the air with his right leg and swept across it, cutting the air with his toes to perform a flying slash.

Lanjiao-

A half-moon-shaped dazzling white light flew out, cutting off all the soldiers.

Others had no objections to Marcus' decisive killing.

This group of soldiers may not be as strong as the pirates they encountered before, but they are definitely more ruthless than those pirates. There is a high probability that they will survive the meat grinder-like mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Through this incident, Vlad gained a general understanding of this era.

This is not the era of pirates. The struggle between kingdoms is the main theme. If you are not the top pirate, you will have to flee when facing the kingdom's army.

Kaido and Barrett were once soldiers in the kingdom's army. If they had not suffered betrayal and betrayal, they would have been professional soldiers for most of their lives.

Monsters are born from the army!

Thinking about it, battles between navy and pirates, and pirates against pirates, rarely involve tens of thousands of people.

And between kingdoms, not to mention tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people occasionally happen, it is a real mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Vlad was in the Kingdom of Eden back then. If he hadn't frightened many people by impaling enemy troops on wooden stakes, the war would not have ended so quickly.

In fact, it is not that these kingdoms like war. There is a high probability that they have more people and less food, so they can only rely on war to reduce the population and plunder resources.

This will happen if either side stops the war and starts farming and recuperating...

If my neighbor collects grain, I will store my gun, and my neighbor is my granary!

In this general environment, countries can only continue to annex, split, war, and annex...

Trapped in an infinite loop!

There are more than 170 countries that have joined the World Government alone, and in an era when there was no nuclear weapon to deter each other, wars were going on almost every day.

The source of this situation is not the Celestial Dragons or the World Government, but these people are so prolific that they cannot afford to give birth to children, so they can only send people to the meat grinder called war.

If you sell small raincoats in this era, they will probably be sold out!

......

After understanding the situation they were facing, Vlad thought of evacuating, but unfortunately the supplies on the ship couldn't sustain them to the next island.

"It seems like this thing isn't of much use now."

Marcus took out a [-]-dollar bill from his pocket, tore it into pieces and threw it away, scattering it on the floor.

In the war years, money was no different from paper for wiping one's buttocks. Hard currency had to be gold, grain, arms, and slaves.

A group of people did not take the route taken by the soldiers who had just escaped. Instead, they chose a direction with a larger deviation. Since there was not much food at present, they still tried their best to save their energy and avoid fighting.

As they went deeper into the land, the group of people saw a jungle, but the branches were almost bare and there were many teeth marks on the trunks.

Vlad couldn't think of anything just by looking at the branches without leaves, but after seeing the tooth marks on the trunks, he immediately guessed that there was probably a famine here.

It has already begun to eat leaves and bark!

"This is trouble!"

Ozma scratched the back of his head. They were here to replenish food and fresh water, but there was a famine in this place.

In fact, fresh water is okay, because Vlad, a guy with a mysophobia, installed a large distillation machine on the boat in order to take a bath every day. He only needs to extract seawater to convert a large amount of fresh water.

But food is difficult. Even if there is a good fishing harvest, they can only eat one meal, and good luck does not come every day.

As for fishing for sea kings, they don’t have big enough bait!

and many more!

Ozma rolled his eyes and glanced at Paine from the corner of his eye, and began to think about whether Neptunes like to eat penguins...

"Not really."

Vlad, who was walking side by side, guessed his thoughts, stopped and said:

"The army that attacked us before looked very strong and vigorous. It didn't look like they were hungry. I think we should go to their commander to ask for some mental damage compensation."

With that said, Vlad changed direction and walked towards the direction where the soldiers were escaping.

Understanding what he meant, Marcus said afterward: "I have long wanted to remind you that the kingdom's army must have a lot of food, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to rob it, so I didn't say it. I didn't expect that you would really find it for yourself. The reputation of taking action.”

As he said that, he gave Vlad a thumbs up.

Vlad thought he was praising himself, pressed his hand towards him and said: "Low-key!"

Cervantes, Paine, Ozma: "..."

......

On the streets of the dilapidated town, a soldier wearing the Kingdom's standard military uniform looked carefree while walking or sitting, gambling in the fortifications, or going to the homes of civilians to have fun together.

This is a town occupied by the army of the Kingdom of Lorraine.

Leon slowed down his running pace and panted as he approached the fortification blocking the main road. After letting his companions identify who was behind him, he hurried towards the mayor's house, the most luxurious building in the town.

Coming closer, listening to the melancholy sounds coming from the house, Lyon saluted the guarding soldiers and said seriously: "I have something to report to the Baron."

The soldier frowned in displeasure and said in annoyance: "Can't you hear that the Baron is not free? Come back tomorrow!"

"No!" Leon's face was full of anxiety, "A group of people came to the coast. Among them are people with Devil Fruit abilities. They are very powerful. I must report to the Baron!"
