Tempted by the Raid Suit, the Goa Empire members immediately abandoned any objections and were determined to seize the king of the Drum Kingdom.
Furthermore, Wang Shi presented intelligence information about King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom, who expelled doctors from his country, leaving only 20 to monopolize medical rights, leading to widespread suffering among the people.
Even Yixiao and Tashigi couldn't resist taking action against this cruel king.
Now, even its status as a major medical Drum Kingdom has been lost.
The situation at home is even worse, and survival will become increasingly difficult for the people of this cold Winter Island.
"How could there be such a foolish king?"
Tashigi never imagined that King Wapol would ruin such a renowned medical powerhouse.
Even if you just put a dog on a leash and make it king, doing absolutely nothing, it would be far better than Wapol's self-inflicted crippling actions.
At least the Drum Kingdom won't get any worse.
It's not the formidable opponents I fear, but the incompetent teammates and leaders.
"Wapol, that fool, is unworthy to be the king of a nation. Let the glory of the Goa Empire shine upon this cold Winter Island."
Wang Shi spoke calmly, "The West Blue and the North Blue are separated from the East Blue by the towering Red Line, making it difficult for the Goa Empire to expand its influence into these two seas."
But the Grand Line Paradise is different.
Once the Wang Shi obtains a batch of Seastone, he will transform the Exile Emperor into a warship inlaid with Seastone.
In addition, there are two Marquess of Admiral rank, Yixiao and Aramaki.
He could then navigate the Calm Belt with Bian, traveling between the Grand Line Paradise and the South Blue.
It's not impossible that the flag of the Goa Empire could be planted in the Grand Line Paradise and the South Blue.
This Drum Kingdom will be my first testing ground, to see how the World Government reacts.
At worst, after capturing Wapol, we can install a new king.
Perhaps among the fifty nations at the Reverie, Wang Shi have gained another absolutely loyal ally.
They can also get an extra vote in decision-making.
"Yes, we are bringing peace to the Drum Kingdom!"
Under the Wang Shi's illusory judgment, Wapol was sentenced to a life of labor for the Goa Empire, a grave crime intended to redeem the Drum Kingdom.
···
Several days later.
The sounds of gunfire and the smoke of war come and go quickly.
Conquering the Drum Kingdom is a hundred times easier than fighting the Twin Heroes of the West Blue Flower Kingdom and the Mulberry Kingdom.
It's almost as difficult as attacking Affiliated Nation in the East Blue.
This 'war of annihilation' didn't even require Wang Shi, Yi Xiao, or Aramaki to lift a finger.
Zoro, Van Augur, Eric, Saka, Capone Bege, Laffitte, Sanji, these Viscount and Baron, have already completely subdued Wapol and his two ministers, the ruthless official Kuromarimo and the evil strategist Chess.
Even the fiercely resisting captain of the guard, Dalton, was defeated and captured by Zoro.
News of the tyrannical king's defeat spread throughout the entire Drum Kingdom.
A trial is being held on this Winter Island.
Countless citizens appeared on the Execution Platform beneath the 5,000-meter-high Drum City, watching the king's guilty ministers bound to his bonds.
"That's the flag of the Goa Empire, the Overlord of the East Blue?!"
"Emperor of Exile arrived in the Drum Kingdom?"
"Great! That wretched Wapol has finally been defeated!"
"His Majesty the Wang Shi is our hero."
···
Countless Drum Kingdom watched with immense excitement as the tyrant and his wicked minister were arrested.
Even Dr. Dr. Kureha brought Chopper the reindeer to join the fun.
Under the solemn judgment of the Wang Shi.
Wapol was stripped of his kingship and became a prisoner.
The brutal official Kuromarimo and the evil strategist Chess were sentenced to death and executed by the entire nation of the Drum Kingdom, who personally smashed stones to carry out the punishment.
At the urging of the Drum Kingdom, Captain Dalton of the Guard was pardoned and allowed to continue serving as the King's Army Commander of the Drum Kingdom under the Goa Empire.
"What? From now on, our Drum Kingdom will be a vassal state of the Goa Empire?"
"Will our new king be His Wang Shi's son?"
"Is Empress Sally pregnant? Or are Princess Reiju and Imperial Concubine Baby 5 pregnant?"
"Will our king be Wang Shi Majesty's first son?"
As the Wang Shi judged and executed the tyrant and wicked officials of the Drum Kingdom, a series of decrees were issued Drum Kingdom.
Wang Shi forcefully incorporated the Royal Army of the Drum Kingdom and planted the flag of the Goa Empire in Drum City, making it even higher and larger than the flag of the Drum Kingdom.
Wapol was imprisoned inside Capone Bege's inner castle and immediately began to devour various metals, attempting to fuse and develop a shape Memory Metal alloy.
After the situation stabilizes and the public is appeased.
Wang Shi led everyone to the top of the royal city, located at a 5,000-meter peak, amidst the falling snowflakes.
"It seems the Drum Kingdom has a rich history; they even knew to build their capital on high ground."
Looking at the vast snowscape, Wang Shi couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the 'great war' in this world was not yet over.
According to Vegapunk, sea levels may rise another 200 meters in the future.
The Gunko of Holy Knight, also said that the world would be submerged in a flood.
Those pig-like Celestial Dragons who like to wear bubble wrap and dislike eating Devil Fruit probably knew about the prophecy that this world would be flooded long ago.
Eight hundred years ago, the Twenty Kings conquered the 'God's Land' of the Lunarian Tribe and exterminated them.
The Holy Land Mary Geoise was established at an altitude of 10,000 meters on the Red Line. Nineteen royal families moved to the Holy Land from their respective homelands and became the Celestial Dragons.
They live in high-rise buildings, presumably not only to display their superior power, but also to avoid being flooded.
Like Alabasta, the capital of Alubarna, or the King's Plateau of Dressrosa.
These ancestral lands of the Twenty Kings all built their capitals on high ground.
They probably all knew about the doomsday flood.
"I don't like Winter Island. It's all white everywhere, which is not conducive to development at all."
Winter Island was already facing difficulties in its development, and then this Wapol went and ruined its pillar industry, the medical sector.
I wonder if this fool's ancestors, if they knew what he'd done, would rise from their graves and beat him to a pulp.
Reiju smiled gently. She hadn't expected that the Wang Shi would send his future heir to this Winter Island to serve as the king of a country.
Being the king of Winter Island is no easy task.
Baldimore, the hometown of Vegapunk, the world's first scientist, is a cold, Winter Island.
Vegapunk has racked his brains trying to transform his hometown into a warm Spring Island, but he hasn't succeeded yet.
In Reiju's eyes, the Winter Island nation was almost synonymous with poverty.
"Your Majesty, if I become pregnant, do not send our child to be king in such a place."
Baby5 looked at Wang Shi pitifully, thinking that life on Winter Island was so difficult, it would be better to be an ordinary prince in the Goa Empire.
"This is just a temporary measure to appease the Drum Kingdom; we don't yet know how the World Government will react."
"The Five Elders might send us back to the East Blue."
Wang Shi smiled and stroked baby5's head, saying, "If I could find a suitable person to be Wang Shi, I wouldn't have made this decision."
If Dalton were made king directly, people like Aramaki and Eric would probably be very unhappy.
None of these Baron are currently eligible to become Royal Duke.
Of course, it was even more impossible for the Wang Shi to grant away a kingdom far from the Goa Empire; wouldn't that be inviting chaos?
Strong individuals like Yixiao and Aramaki could only follow Wang Shi.
