"You brat! You even knew you were here!" Garp roared when he saw the dragon's figure.
Long was speechless. Sometimes he, Pops, just didn't care about anything, and sometimes he had to care about everything. Anyway, it all depended on his mood.
"Okay! Pops, now that the fire here has been extinguished, prepare to enter the city when!"
Garp originally wanted to scold this unfilial son, but after hearing what Long said, he remembered that there was still business to do now, so he glared at Long fiercely, and then he found that Long was holding a child in his arms. He took a closer look and saw that this was not the brother of the two bastards Ace and Luffy!
"Enter the city immediately. You can handle the nobles in the city yourself. Our navy is only responsible for military operations!"
Long nodded. He knew this. Generally, Empire occupied a country with both civil and military teams, in order to prevent the military from intervening too much in everything.
But this time he did not come alone. Many revolutionary cadres who heard that he was going to govern a country alone were willing to come with him.
For this reason, the central government also agreed to this transfer.
Just when the Empire army was preparing to enter the city, there was suddenly a sparse sound in the forest in the distance.
Everyone quickly looked over and saw two people, Luffy and Ace, emerging from the woods.
"Luffy! Ace!"
The two of them were still surprised that so many soldiers had gathered here when they heard a familiar voice.
Luffy and Ace quickly looked over. "Sabo! Why are you here!"
Sabo quickly jumped out of Long's arms, strode towards Luffy and Ace, and hugged them tightly.
"It's so great to meet you!"
"Sabo!" Ace and Luffy looked at each other, looking at the choked Sabo, and understood that something important must have happened to Sabo during the period of time they were separated.
"Sabo, will your parents be okay with you when you go back?" Ace asked uncertainly.
Sabo wiped away his excited tears and suddenly smiled, "It's all okay, Luffy! Ace, I'm truly free from now on!"
Hearing what Sabo said, both Ace and Luffy felt really happy for this brother at this moment, and the three of them hugged each other excitedly again.
Garp watched on the sidelines and pursed his lips, "These three brats! They are still so careless."
"Let's go! Pops It's time to deal with our business! I don't want to see young people who feel desperate because of the darkness in this city!"
After saying this, Long took the revolutionary cadres who had gathered around him and strode towards the city.
At this time Goa Kingdom.
The king was sitting helplessly on the throne.
"How is it possible? Who can tell me why it is raining!" The king suddenly stood up and roared at the nobles below.
However, at this time, no nobles came out to answer his question. They all lowered their heads in silence.
For a long time.
The old Duke stepped out of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, why bother? If it doesn't work once, we can just do it again. As long as Empire's army doesn't arrive, then we still have a chance!"
However, as soon as the old Duke finished speaking, a soldier hurried in.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Oh no, the city wall in the outer city collapsed, and those untouchables from Gray Terminal rushed in, and... And, Imperial Navy has landed at Gray Terminal and is heading towards the inner city right now!"
When the king heard the soldiers' report, his body went limp, he could no longer stand still and slumped on the throne.
"Hahaha! It's over! Everything is over! We will never have a chance again!"
At this time, the nobles below also looked panicked, and everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
"Old Duke, what should we do now! Please think of a solution quickly! Otherwise, everyone will be really doomed!" A noble begged urgently.
The old Duke, who was wearing a cane, looked up at the king who was slumped on the throne and a group of frightened nobles.
He hit the ground hard with his crutch and said, "Shut up!"
"Why panic! Go back immediately and spread the news in the city, saying that Empire is going to kill everyone in the city for the sake of Gray Terminal, free up the kingdom's land for the garbage in the abandoned station, and rob their assets!"
All the nobles were stunned, and instantly the whole hall could hear the drop of a needle.
"What's going on! It's now here, and you're still holding on to luck, thinking that Empire won't use the knife on you! Or are you all extremely clean and trying to avoid Empire's laws!"
The old Duke narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Now we just want the whole Goa Kingdom to be in chaos. It's best to provoke the confrontation between the civilians and that group of rubbish to give us a chance! Otherwise, we have to wait for the liquidation of the Empire!"
After saying this, the old Duke strode towards the outside of the palace. Only then did the nobles react and ran towards the outside of the palace one by one.
No one paid attention to the king sitting on the throne at all, because everyone knew that the moment Imperial Army team entered the city, all the royal family was dead.
Because Empire will never let go of a royal family that dares to resist. It is okay to surrender voluntarily. At least you can become a rich man, but once trouble is caused, Imperial House of the Empire will not allow hatred to continue.
When Long entered the palace with a group of the Revolutionary Army cadres, he saw the palace in disarray.
Long frowned slightly, "It seems that they also know what they are about to face! Xiong, you immediately arrange to arrest all the royal family and the nobles related to this incident, and wait for the arrival of the Legal Affairs Department from the Empire!"
"Yes! Chief!" Xiong said respectfully.
However, when Xiong issued this order, the naval officers below did not execute it so smoothly.
Soon the news spread by the nobles began to spread throughout the Goa Kingdom, and an undercurrent began to lurk in the unquiet waters.
"What, you mean, this Empire actually wants to liquidate all the nobles, including us civilians in the outer city!"
"Asshole, how could they do this? These family properties are things left by my ancestors for generations. Why should I give them to those garbage? I don't agree!"
"Damn it, why do these barbarians want us to have the same status as those trash? I have the blood of a noble!"
"No, we have to stop them from doing this, I don't want to be associated with those garbage!"
Various gossips continued to circulate, so that the entire Goa Kingdom people gradually began to exude hostility in their eyes when looking at the Imperial Navy soldiers who were arresting people everywhere.
The common people living in the entire Goa Kingdom city are actually descendants of nobles. It can be said that ordinary people do not exist at all, and ordinary people are not worthy of living in this glorious city.
The reason why he became a commoner is just the result of the family's slow decline.
But this does not mean that they do not want to return to the ranks of the nobility.
Soon, this hostility completely erupted when the navy captured a nobleman hiding in the outer city.
"Please, don't take my parents away. We are nobles. You can't do this to us!"
Slit grabbed a navy man's trousers tightly and cried loudly with snot and tears.
However, the navy did not pay attention to this aristocratic child at all. Perhaps they thought this aristocratic child was too annoying. A navy soldier at that time felt a little irritable and kicked Slit away.
Slit hit a wall and immediately started wailing.
"It hurts! It hurts! Everyone, come and see, this savage guy wants to steal all our family's property.
After they finish robbing us nobles, it will finally be your turn as commoners! This is the wealth that our family has worked hard to accumulate for generations! It will fall into the hands of a group of thugs. How are they different from pirates!"
With the shrill shouts of Slit, the civilians surrounding the area could no longer bear it.
"Assholes, they actually beat children. They are simply beasts. We absolutely cannot let them continue like this. Damn Empire, get out of the Goa Kingdom! We don't need Empire's rule!"
"Yes! Get out!"
"Get out!"
Along with the roars, the people around him became angry.
Empire was already very unhappy when they entered the city and let those rubbish enter the city. Now they started to arrest the nobles in the city regardless of the reason, and also deprived the nobles of their private property. How could they tolerate this?
They are all descendants of nobles. If we can deprive nobles of their private property today, can we also deprive them of them?
What's more, they have long been accustomed to the Goa Kingdom's hierarchical system.
And they highly admire this system, and everyone dreams that one day they can restore the glory of their family and join the ranks of nobles from common people again.
And Imperial Navy's rude behavior completely shattered their illusions.
If the country loses its nobles, wouldn't it mean that their remaining glory is gone?
How can they tolerate this?
