The Black Throne of One Piece

After time entered February 1510, the magnetic drum kingdom, which had gradually stabilized, was finally reborn with new vitality like the early spring.

Last month, the port of Veria was finally captured by the Kingdom’s army. The lord Gilbert committed suicide in his castle in fear of crime. The Drum Kingdom ended nearly two years of civil war and returned to peace.

However, under this peaceful surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden, because the new king Herbert suddenly fainted during a court meeting.

Although in the end the royal doctor gave that His Majesty the King had recently worked too hard to cause physical discomfort, it finally attracted the attention of many careerists in this country who want to go further on the peak of power.

Herbert is now 68 years old. In the Drum Kingdom, the winter island country, he is definitely a master. Before the outbreak of the Civil War, Herbert, who was well-maintained on weekdays, actually had a fairly thick blonde hair. , But since the outbreak of the Civil War, the hair volume has become less and less, and it has quickly turned white.

After successfully ascending to the throne, Herbert was already a bald old man with white sideburns. He usually carried a trace of decadent twilight. After the sudden fainting incident happened not long ago, many ministers in the court have found that his majesty’s energy is not as good as that. In the past, many things were gradually handed over to the princess Elizabeth to deal with.

"Have you eaten your majesty today?"

In the princess's room, Elizabeth asked a maid who had just come in.

Because of the fireplace and heating supply in the room, the room is very pleasant compared to the cold outside.

Elizabeth is now wearing a white tulle one-piece short skirt. The golden belt embroidered with bauhinia pattern perfectly sets off her surplus water snake waist, revealing a pair of long legs in black silk and deerskin boots. , The self-cultivation and fitting light gauze short dress also exposed her graceful figure.

Ever since she became the Minister of Finance with power, the majesty of Elizabeth, who wears the princess crown, has increased day by day, and her intoxicating beauty has also made people even more afraid to look directly at her. Her outstanding ability to govern the country has also aroused many young people. The nobleman Toshihiko looked overshadowed in front of her.

The maid who looked pretty good heard Elizabeth's words, and immediately bowed her head in front of Elizabeth and told: "It's used, but I only ate a little bit."

"I got it."

Elizabeth replied expressionlessly, and then waved to let the maid who served Herbert out.

After the maid went out, Elizabeth's white and tender face finally showed a trace of expression, with frowning eyebrows, eyes drooping, and her lips tightening, revealing a deep worry.

As for the physical condition of her father, Elizabeth, who pays attention every day, knows best.

It is said that the body is a little uncomfortable to the outside, but in fact, because of Herbert's overwork and illness, coupled with the old age and the disappearance of the spiritual support (end the civil war, complete the reunification), the body is finally exhausted, and it has been time. Not much.

"Oh~, the civil war has finally ended. The good days have just begun, but things have happened again. If a country that has not dealt with it well, this country that has just separated from the haze of the war may fall into a protracted civil war."

Elizabeth was extremely worried.

There were still two people in the room at this time. One of them was Haru, who had become the Minister of Foreign Affairs at a young age. The Minister of Foreign Affairs recommended by Elizabeth to hold power is a solid princely princess party.

One wears a wolf head mask and thick armor, standing at the door like a sculpture.

Haru heard Elizabeth’s worried words, and immediately said: "This is also no way. Your Royal Highness, we must take action. His Royal Highness James, His Royal Highness Velen, His Highness Habbard and other princes have already started to act privately, if If we cannot win the support of other ministers of the DPRK and China, we will be very passive, and I heard that Prince James has been with the world..."

"I know, I know, Haru, don't worry, I know how to do it."

Before Haru could finish speaking, Elizabeth interrupted him, solemnly.

"Yes, your Royal Highness, but, please give your order as soon as possible. The positions of many people below have already begun to shake. At this time, you must not be emotional." Haru sighed.

His Majesty the King is ill, and the controversy over the progeny will naturally begin. Anyone with a certain political literacy will pay attention to this kind of thing. After all, this is a good opportunity for a chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.

It stands to reason that, as the eldest son, Prince James will be the most powerful competitor, but the eldest princess has demonstrated outstanding ability to govern the country and has also been granted temporary agency rights by the king. The most powerful competitor is no longer James. .

However, in the new drum kingdom, the aristocratic power that follows the old tradition is very powerful. People like the queen who have never appeared in the drum kingdom are obviously not accepted by the traditional aristocratic powers.

Now, many traditional aristocratic forces began to gather around other princes, waving flags and shouting behind them, which has gradually begun to shake Elizabeth's position in the court.

"Go out, I'm tired."

Elizabeth turned her head and said.

Seeing this, Haru stopped talking, but in the end he chose to shut his mouth, turned and pushed the door to leave.

"Mr. Darth, what do you think I should do?"

When Haru left, Elizabeth suddenly turned her head and asked the armored man with the wolf head mask.

Once the leader of the Das Gang, now Elizabeth’s temporary bodyguard, Das took off his mask, revealing a weathered face, and said indifferently: "As you please, I am only entrusted by Barr to protect you for a period of time. , There is no obligation to be your consultant."

Elizabeth heard this, with a bitter smile on her face and stopped talking, but she once again said from Dass that he would come to protect her because of Barr's entrustment, and her depressed heart suddenly felt much better.

During this time, because of the controversy, she has been assassinated several times in succession.

Had she not eaten the Devil Fruit and kept training, she had good strength, plus the protection of Das, she would have been killed long ago.

In these several assassinations, after she entrusted investigation to the film organization, she has found out that the people behind the planning of the assassination were actually made by her close and trusted people, including her brother James, whom she has been caring for. This caused her to be hit hard, and she was exhausted physically and mentally.

It feels really uncomfortable to betrayed by a trusted person.

Now these people are pressing on again, trying to covet the throne, acting more and more blatantly, even at the expense of colluding with the world government and betraying national interests.

At this moment of thought, Elizabeth's mood that had eased a little was once again covered with a layer of haze, and her expression looked very gloomy.

"But for the sake of your assistance in the development of therapeutic drugs for my daughter, I will show you a clear path, just eight words. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. If you don't have the heart to fight, then leave early. , So as not to harm others and yourself, you have a good relationship with that boy Barr, it is not difficult to get out of him if he covers you."

Seeing Elizabeth showing this expression, Das sighed suddenly when he remembered his daughter Shefia's once gloomy expression, as well as the smile that she often put on her lips now.

As soon as she said this, Elizabeth's body was shocked, and the expression on her face began to change constantly, with a moment of hesitation, a moment of seriousness, a moment of sadness, and a moment of firmness.

Finally, with a long sigh, she went to the bedroom, took out a long box from the closet with a large amount of fine clothes, and opened it to reveal a stabbing sword inside.

The thorn sword is now inserted in the black scabbard. A large number of snowflake patterns are engraved on the scabbard. The golden handguard on the hilt is engraved with some light blue gems to form a snowflake pattern.

These gems are obviously not ordinary gems, they automatically emit a hint of coldness, and the surface will shine with a hint of ice blue light from time to time.

Elizabeth took this very noble stabbing sword from the long box, and then endured the cold icy feeling from the stabbing sword, and pulled out the stabbing sword from the scabbard to expose it. The shimmering sword body.

This stabbing sword was given to her by Barr more than a month ago. It was one night after Barr challenged Ram. She still remembers the scene when Barr gave the sword to her.

It was early in the morning and late at night when the other party suddenly broke into her boudoir without knowing it, and shamelessly got into her bed and bullied her relentlessly.

Before leaving, she said some inexplicable things to her, but when she recalled this time, she realized that this man had actually seen the future of this country well.

"This stabbing sword is given to you and tell you a secret. It was made by myself. The quality is definitely not inferior to the famous sword. Elizabeth, you are not the same as the old nobles in this country who are conservative and decadent. You are very clever. Nobles, know how to keep up with the times, very self-motivated, and very beautiful and sexy, I admire you very much, if you are not the princess of this country, I will definitely chase you, if, what I said is if, if If you want to claim the throne one day, come here with this stabbing sword. I will definitely support you."

In Elizabeth's memory, Barr took out the stabbing sword out of thin air like a conjure, took her hand, handed it to her hand, and said with a smile.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight..."

Elizabeth looked at the thorn sword in her hand and murmured.

.......

On the other side, outside the city of ice and snow, hundreds of kilometers away from the city of King Leslie.

The newly-edited legion of Ice and Snow City, the second legion of the ice and snow legion, is undergoing a large-scale actual combat exercise.

This is a five-thousand corps, all recruits who have received a certain degree of training.

These recruits came from various places on the Great Route, came to Ice City for various reasons, and then joined the Ice Legion in order to survive.

Now they are about to accept the first life and death battle in their military career.

The Ice and Snow Legion does not leave free food, and does not need to be wasteful. Following the law of the weak and strong, every official soldier must experience the test of blood and fire. This is clearly given in the recruitment poster when the Ice and Snow Legion recruits new recruits.

Of course, for such demanding requirements, the rewards given are also very generous.

After each soldier passes the test and becomes a full-fledged soldier, he can obtain the status of a resident of Ice City. This is almost the fastest way for outsiders to obtain the status of a resident of Ice City.

Even if you die in battle, you will get a generous pension.

Under the command of the commander, the five thousand recruits quickly separated several neat battle formations, and then marched in neat steps.

Their opponents are some skeleton monsters composed of bones, humanoid and animal-like. The number of these skeletons is quite large, at least two to three thousand. They are all monsters who are not afraid of death. Will continue to act, only to defeat the peculiar group of pale flames in their heads, will they return to a pile of ordinary bones.

These seemingly scary skeleton monsters were naturally created by a certain demon fruit capable person.

Their owner is a member of the Ram gang called Gizas Badges. This Badges is the fighting champion Badges who will become a member of the Blackbeard Pirates in the future. He comes from a great route called A small island country in a fighting country.

Two months ago, the fighting champion was attracted by the generous rewards of the arena opened in Golden Town. In the end, he defeated the strong players from the first half of the great route and won the championship. At that time, the championship prize in the arena was exactly Bone fruit.

Badgers is undoubtedly a person who admires strength very much and likes to use his fists to solve problems.

Therefore, after he won the championship, Barr used his flesh and blood avatar to fight him, then abused him, and finally succeeded in bringing the future Blackbeard Pirates into his camp.

After eating Bone Bone Fruit, Badgers gained the ability to manipulate and make bones at will. Under Baal's guidance, he developed an ability similar to Junmaro in Naruto.

And because the bone fruit also involves a part of the soul’s abilities, Badgers can collect souls, and then use the bones of the original creatures to create the undead creatures like skeletons. The undead creatures basically have no intelligence and can only perform Jace some simple commands.

Of course, if you only control a few skeletons individually, Badgers can control them flexibly.

"Weihahaha, kill as much as you want, my cuties."

On the city wall, Badgers, disguised as an officer of Ice Town, looked down at the soldiers who were fighting the skeleton monsters to death. He was so excited that he couldn't help laughing freely.

The reason why he came here to use the Skeleton Monsters he worked so hard to fight against these Ice and Snow City is firstly because of his BOSS boss Baal’s order, and secondly, to improve his ability to control the Skeleton Legion. A strong enough soul is harvested here.

Finally, he really likes this **** battlefield.

"Mr. Badgers, please stop laughing. This is war. Please be serious."

Suddenly, a cold and very pleasant voice came from one area, causing Badgers' laughter to abruptly cease.

Badgers turned his head and saw that she was a tall and glamorous female knight.

The blond fluttering female knight wears a fiery red war skirt, a female knight armor on her upper body, black leather gloves with her forearm on her hands, a black belt on her lower body, and knee-high boots. , A delicate thorn sword hung around his waist.

The whole person looks heroic and upright, like a female knight who represents justice.

Badgers recognized her. She was Monica, commander of the Guards of Masefield, the lord of the city of Ice and Snow.

"Weihahaha, Captain Monica, don't be so serious, just some recruits like weeds. If you don't have to recruit, we just have to recruit. By the way, we haven't recruited for a while, or else, Let's go down and play?"

Badgers grinned ~www.readwn.com~ and laughed unkindly.

Facing Badgers' provocation, Monica was not afraid. She pulled out the stabbing sword from her waist, raised her head, and said coldly: "Then let me teach you the etiquette of the army."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared in place with a scream, and stabbed Badgers with a sword. In the process, the sword was already attached to a layer of armed domineering.

The Navy’s Sixth Form and the domineering training methods, Barr, of course, also quietly spread among the high-level army in Ice City. Among them, strong men of the Ice City forces such as Monica, Green, Dalton, etc. have learned part of the Navy’s Sixth Form, and even mastered them. Armed color domineering.

Monica is the most talented among the powerhouses of Ice City. She has learned how to shave, lay feet, iron blocks, and moon steps. She has also mastered two-color domineering, and her strength is already in addition to the ice and snow under the city lord Masefield played by Baal. The strongest in the city.

Badgers's strength is not weak. When Monica disappeared, he put on a set of bone armor. The hardness of the bone armor was amazing. It shattered, leaving a shallow wound in Badgers.
