"Your Majesty, it's already nine o'clock.”
"Why isn't that Vice Admiral here yet?”
King Polu anxiously paced back and forth in the back garden.
"Your Majesty, do you think the First Prince is also trying to rope in that navy?”
"Don't mention that traitor in front of me, that despicable and despicable usurper!”
King Polu roared angrily.
" And those b * stards who changed their tune with the wind. What kind of benefits did my stupid younger brother promise them? How dare they…How dare they…"
After venting his anger, King Polu gradually calmed down. He sighed dejectedly, not knowing what to do.
"Minister Zuo, what do you think we should do now?”
Except for a few, almost all the ministers and nobles in the palace had been roped in by the First Prince.
He was alone now. If he did not think of a way, he would definitely die in the hands of his hateful brother.
The best outcome was to be imprisoned and live a life without freedom.
"Why don't we ask the World Government to send people to suppress the First Prince?”
King Polu said a method that even he himself didn't believe.
"Your Majesty, the World Government will not interfere in this matter.”
Minister Zuo replied helplessly.
Under such circumstances, the World Government would not intervene in the internal disputes of a kingdom.
The World Government was not a nanny.
It was their duty to clean up the pirates, but to them, it didn't matter who the leader of the World Government was. All they needed was an obedient little brother.
As long as they were obedient enough, they wouldn't even care if the king was a dog, let alone the First Prince.
"However, other than that, we have no other choice. Do we have to wait for death?”
"Your Majesty, don't forget that the Vice Admiral is not the First Prince's subordinate.”
Minister Zuo's eyes flashed.
"But…didn't he not agree to help us? I asked him to meet me in the back garden, but he didn't come. He must have joined my brother.”
King Polu hesitated, his voice filled with resentment.
He was very dissatisfied with the reinforcement sent by the World Government, who actually ran to his younger brother.
"Your Majesty, since the First Prince has already roped in the navy, why can't we? If he likes money, we'll give him money.”
King Polu looked at his Left Minister as if he was looking at a fool.
When he was surrounded by the pirates, the treasures in the kingdom's treasury had long been emptied by the First Prince.
He even suspected that the wealth that the Polu royal family had accumulated over the past hundred years had been used by that prodigal brother to bribe those princes and ministers in order to sit on the throne.
Where did he get the money now?
Minister Zuo's lips twitched.
"Your Majesty, although we don't have Bailey, we can promise him that if he helps us deal with the First Prince, we will give him 1 billion Bailey.”
"What if he doesn't believe me?”
King Polu asked.
An empty promise or the real Bailey, anyone who wasn't stupid would know which to choose.
"As a deposit, we can give him that thing first.”
"You mean, that Demon Fruit?”
A pained expression flashed across King Polu's face. That Demon Fruit was a trump card left behind by the previous King Polu.
"Your Majesty, rather than letting the First Prince have the Demon Fruit, why not take it out and gamble?”
"You can give it to the head guard."
King Polu subconsciously retorted. Since he was going to give it to someone, why not give it to the person he trusted the most?
If he ate the Demon Fruit, perhaps the captain of the guards…
"Your Majesty, don't be so naive. Even if you eat that fruit, will the captain of the guards be a match for the First Prince?”
King Polu shook his head helplessly.
Although he didn't want to admit it, even if he ate the Devil Fruit, his captain of guards might not be a match for the Vice Admiral.
Now, it seemed that this was the only way to avoid being pushed down from the throne by his younger brother.
"We'll do as you say."
King Polu, who had made up his mind, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
As a king, he was actually betrayed by his own subjects. He was really a failure as a king.
…………
"King Polu's gift?"
"Vice Admiral Black Owl, as long as you agree to help His Majesty deal with the First Prince and stop his plot, there will be another 1 billion Bailey.”
Minister Zuo smiled and handed over a gold treasure chest.
Zhang Yang frowned and slowly opened the treasure chest.
An orange-yellow devil fruit that looked like a flame appeared in front of him.
He narrowed his eyes.
This was…
Nature Element Devil Fruit, Burning Fruit!
"King Polu sure is generous.”
Zhang Yang looked at the Demonic Fruit that could drive countless people crazy. He had a playful expression on his face.
It seemed that King Polu's current situation was worse than he had imagined.
"What do you want me to help him with?"
The Left Minister heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yang keeping the Demon's Fruit.
"King Polu hopes that Lieutenant General can kill the First Prince.”
"After this is done, I want to see two billion Bailey.”
Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and demanded an exorbitant price.
The Bailey that a kingdom had accumulated for hundreds of years was at least ten billion. Although it was painful to take out two billion, it was not to the extent that it could not be taken out.
"This…I can't agree to it. I need to go back and discuss it with His Majesty.”
The Left Minister's expression did not look too good, but he was now the fish on the chopping block. It was not their turn to bargain.
"Give me an answer by tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yang waved his hand nonchalantly. If King Boru was not a fool, he would know what to do.
As for whether he would be hated by others if he hit someone when they were down.
Zhang Yang was not worried at all. Even if King Polu wanted to take revenge, he would need to have the courage and strength to do so.
As for going back on his word, would he dare to?
An hour later, Minister Zuo agreed to Zhang Yang's request.
"I wonder, when will the Lieutenant General leave?”
The Left Minister asked. Every second that they waited would mean more danger for the King. Of course, he hoped that it would be as soon as possible.
"Between cups of wine."
Zhang Yang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating his supper.
Swoosh!
His figure flickered and disappeared from the room.
Zhang Yang appeared in a luxurious palace a few kilometers away.
As soon as he appeared, Zhang Yang could feel a dozen pairs of sharp eyes staring at him from a few dozen meters away.
"You've been waiting for me? You seem very confident."
He looked around with interest. Since he was so confident in ambushing him, could it be that he really had some secret trump card?
"To visit in the middle of the night, Vice Admiral Black Owl is planning to go against this king.”
The First Prince, who was sitting high above, sighed.
He had never seen Zhang Yang fight, but he had heard others talking about how the Lieutenant General had fought against thousands of enemies.
What kind of thought could make thousands of pirates and the royal army kneel on the ground?
Naturally, he would not believe such exaggerated flattery.
The reason why he had taken out one billion Bailey was because he wanted to rope in this Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and make him his dog. Now, it seemed that he had failed.
"This king loves talent. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong answer. However, you should be proud to die in the hands of these death warriors that this king has carefully trained.”
The First Prince's eyes turned sharp as he shouted.
"Kill him!"
In the next second, more than a dozen figures emerged from the shadows and stabbed at Zhang Yang with their cold blades.
Zhang Yang raised his head slightly, his eyes were filled with indifference as he looked around with a mocking gaze.
"This is your trump card?"
Puff!
The blade pierced through Zhang Yang's body, causing a few ice crystals to fall from his body. Zhang Yang did not even have the intention to dodge.
This kind of attack that didn't even have the aura of a weapon couldn't cause any damage to him at all.
"A frog at the bottom of a well dares to talk about the immensity of heaven and earth.”
Extreme coldness spread from under his feet. Under the First Prince's stunned and terrified eyes, translucent ice crystals instantly froze the entire hall.
"Binghe…"
"Era!"
………
Dong dong dong!
The frozen head rolled on the ground.
The Left Minister was shocked when he saw Zhang Yang reappear after disappearing for a few seconds.
Looking at the frozen head on the ground, he couldn't help but gulp.
"This is…the First Prince!"
Gulp!
Zhang Yang put down his wine glass and sighed in satisfaction.
"The wine's temperature is just right."
"Two billion Bailey, send it to the warship tomorrow. Otherwise, I don't mind changing the King of Polu.”
His casual tone made Minister Zuo tremble.
"His Majesty the King will never go back on his word.”
"It'd be best if that's the case. Of course, you can also try to get the navy headquarters and the world government to punish me, but I can't guarantee the consequences.”
Zhang Yang looked at Minister Zuo mockingly.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Minister Zuo lowered his head like a bucket of cold water on a cold day.
His eyes were filled with fear, as if his thoughts had been seen through.
This thought had indeed flashed across his mind just now.
Zhang Yang warned the Left Minister, who had ill intentions, but he did not take him seriously.
If she really dared to play any tricks, she would steal his things.
Was it a problem for him to change the king?
It was just a matter of moving his hands.
Now that he was fully fledged, so what if he fell out with the world government's navy?
He was no longer the submissive Zhang Yang who needed to live under the protection of the navy.
He didn't defect because this identity was still useful to him.
The third watch is over (T^T)
