The entire Goa Kingdom was seized by the Blond Hair Pirates using an iron fist, and they renamed it the Huaxia Empire.
A large number of nobles and officials were purged, but the world has no shortage of talented people who are frustrated in their careers. In just half a month, all the vacant positions were filled, and the state machine was able to function normally again.
The new government, of course, received this information, but like the navy, it had no intention of intervening.
Are you kidding me? Mr. Kazu has contributed so much to the liberation of this world; now that the world is at peace, can't he at least enjoy himself?
Besides, those people who were killed weren't good people either; the information and intelligence were all sent to His Excellency Kazu by their new government.
The Navy, on the other hand, simply didn't want to get beaten up; when it came to the Blond Hair Pirates, nobody could interfere.
Garp, Luffy, and Ace are still at Marine Headquarters, yet their nationality has already been changed to that of the Huaxia Empire.
Two more months have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is the Spring Festival, a holiday personally designated by His Majesty Emperor Her Kazi of the Huaxia Nation.
This is a day to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, symbolizing best wishes for the coming year.
The entire Blond Hair Pirates arrived at the royal palace, which was Kazu's temporary residence. The new palace was still under construction, and it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to move in for another year or two.
The overall style is red and yellow, and it was built according to the architectural style of the royal palace in Kazu's previous life. It was no small project.
Let's put all that aside for now and just enjoy the happy days we have right now.
"Yo, Kazu, we're here!!"
As always, Carlmand had a loud voice; his voice had already taken over before he even arrived.
" Carlmand, you bastard, can you please keep your voice down? You're deafening me!"
Behrens and Carlmand are still as argumentative as ever, and their relationship seems to be quite good.
"Hahaha, I've done something big lately. All of your statues are finished. The Blond Hair Pirates Memorial Park that His Majesty Kazu mentioned last time is almost complete. The statues will be moved in tomorrow. You should all go and take a look then."
Drew's department specializes in this, and with generous compensation, recruitment has been very smooth, with over a hundred artisans already in place.
These are the members after the screening process; those with poor skills would never have been able to get in and fill the positions.
"I even had my men bring over a few wild beasts with tender, succulent meat; today's feast will surely be a feast for you all."
Pedro has already tamed many of the wild beasts in the forest. Recently, he has been living and eating in the forest. Pedro has made a note of some animals with good meat. For today, he specially caught a few of them, planning to slaughter them and roast them for dinner.
"Haha, from now on, don't call him Pedro in the Tree, just call Pedro by the grill."
Carlmand ignored Behrens's dissatisfaction and turned to tease Pedro.
Pedro knew he couldn't beat Carlmand, so he simply kept quiet and ignored him.
Oulait wore a dignified and Haki military uniform, walking with a powerful stride. He was already used to the noise of his comrades and remained calm and composed.
"Huh? Where's that kid Rooney?"
Drew looked around and was somewhat puzzled to find that the reserved guy from their weak trio was missing.
"No need to look for him anymore. Luo was summoned to the palace by Kazu early this morning."
"I heard Robin and Hancock are pregnant. Have Law come over and take a look."
Behrens grinned, showing his large teeth. As the commander of the palace guards, he was well aware that Luo had come to the palace.
"What!!!"
Everyone was astonished; they hadn't expected Captain Kazu to become a father so soon. This was truly a joyous occasion.
And with today being Chinese New Year, it's truly a double celebration.
"Haha, looks like I'll have to have a couple of drinks today."
"I'm good at this, Oulait. Give it your all today, don't just drink by yourself."
"Hehehe, that's right, that's right, we can't leave until we've got Captain Kazu drunk."
The group strode into the palace, and as soon as they entered, they were greeted by the aroma of various delicacies.
Dozens of maids were bustling about in and out of the main hall, setting up the scene.
However, they didn't see Kazu, presumably he was upstairs taking Luo to check on the health of his concubines.
They dared not unleash their Observation Haki here in the royal palace.
They'd barely released their Observation Haki when Kazu would appear behind them and kick their butts hard in the next second.
"Law, how about it? Hancock and Robin's bellies are my lifeline now."
Seeing Captain Kazu's anxious expression, Law also found it quite amusing.
Even the invincible Captain Kazu has his moments; it seems that when it comes to loving one's children, even the World's Strongest Man is no exception.
"Don't worry, Captain Kazu."
"I just used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to scan the bodies of all seven of them."
" Hancock and Robin's babies are perfectly healthy, and the other five are also in good health; there will be no problems even if they are all pregnant."
Luo is now meticulous in everything he does, even checking the bodies of the other five women to ensure there are no problems.
