Chapter 32: Chapter 032: King Azka’s Back Door

When he saw the scene instantly quiet, Commodore Adkin once again fell into the self-denial of doubting his life, 'So easy to calm the crowd, does it seem that I am really only fit for fighting and killing?'

"You are Lieutenant Commander Longinus of the...... Marine? I did hear Cobra mention you quite a few times, and he spoke with great admiration for you, now let me hear what you, the Marine Hero, have to say, right?"

Although King Arabasta's tone was still somewhat lofty, it was enough to make the crowd in the Great Hall look sideways.

After all, even both kings of Crete and Hisca were reprimanded by him in a superior tone, so it is clear that this lieutenant commander's status in the eyes of the king of Arabasta is only higher than the other kings.

The other two kings have also done their homework and know that this lieutenant commander is considered an iconic figure of the G-2 branch. That is, it is not impossible to grow into a really big figure in the Marine in the future.

Therefore, these two kings also said politely, "Lieutenant Commander Longinus, I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

This time, let those who had only coveted Longinus's reputation for his face, the eyes of the noblewomen once again flushed with emotion.
"The southern part of Sandy Island is so big that it is not difficult to accommodate four kingdoms, and besides, the kings are waging war solely for the sake of better development."

"For example, the kingdom of Hisca, although rich, has a small territory and scarce resources, and is often at a disadvantage in terms of free trade, which is why it desires more land."

"The Kingdom of Crete is located in a hilly area, with rivers running through it, and lacks a plain land area where food can be grown in large quantities, and the demand for food is the highest of the four countries."

"Arabastar is vast and has a strong military presence, but in reality there are sharp internal conflicts and a lack of water, making it difficult to sustain a long-term war."

When they heard Longinus pointing out the shortcomings of their country, both the kings of Hisca and Crete had already frowned, and only after hearing that Alabaster's situation did not seem to be much better than theirs did they turn their scornful eyes on the king of Alabaster, saying in their minds that it was no wonder this older man had come to the peace talks. At the same time, they were surprised at Longinus' control of the whole situation.

King Arabasta frowned slightly. His lips seemed ready to say something but soon soothed and gestured to Longinus to continue.

"The Kingdom of Azka has the largest granary in the four kingdoms, but suffers from the lack of a suitable trading channel, so it covets the trade port of the Kingdom of Hisca."

"Humph!" King Azka snorted with displeasure and said no more.

"In my opinion, the four kings can actually complement each other in terms of needs, and develop each other by trading with each other. If we can evolve today's peace talks into a mutual aid pact, it will be a long way forward for the development of any of the kingdoms."

"If you look at the long term, there are more than a dozen countries on Sentinel Island alone, and beyond Sentinel Island are surrounded by wolves, the threat of pirates will never go out of fashion, and even the kings have to pay a considerable amount of money every year as a Heavenly Tribute, which is another heavy burden.

"So, the real threat actually comes from the outside world. If the four kings can put aside their past prejudices and cooperate sincerely, maybe in a few decades, there will be four more top powers in this sea."

With Longinus' analysis of the situation and the guidance of his soul, there is a gradual turbulent scene.

See Longinus, in this situation, are able to move the turmoil; those ladies and noblewomen with their burning eyes can't wait to swallow him alive, some part of their bodies even secretly aroused, making them clench their legs in blushing.

King Hisca and King Crete took the lead, "If the remaining two kings are also quite sincere, we are willing to put aside our old hatred and prejudice to cooperate."

"Cooperation?......" King Arabasta tapped on the armrest and seemed to be a bit indecisive.

And King Azka was kindly laughing, "I am fine with the rest, but there is one thing, before starting your so-called pact, I would like King Arabasta to compensate me for the war reparations of ten billion bellies."

"Hiss!"

There were a lot of cold gasps in the hall. Is King Azka out of his mind? Although they already know that the Kingdom of Arabasta is not as powerful as it appears, but at least until now, the war situation is still dominated by the Kingdom of Arabasta. Is he trying to force the King of Arabasta to fight with them to the death?

Cobra's father, who was still hesitating, listened to King Azka's arrogant words and said, with slightly narrowed eyes, "King Azka, did I hear you right? Do you think you are too happy with your life and want to try the taste of your downfall?"

"Hmph! If you don't want to lose face or even be expelled from the ranks of the member states, you'd better have the sense to agree to my demands." King Azka raised his neck proudly, feeling he had a grip on his opponent's lifeline.

The crowd in the hall began to whisper that King Azka seemed to have something to stand on with this gesture!

Longinus frowned slightly, it seemed that the matter of Arabasta secretly contacting the pirates was not only Cobra's knowledge, but he really thought that this scandal could bring down the king of Arabasta.

After all, this kind of thing can be regarded as a private tacit agreement between countries. There is even no shortage of official pirate forces such as the Happō Suigun (Happosui Army), which the King of Azka two years ago contacted to intercept and kill the enemy fleet was exposed to the light, but only to make Azka's royal prestige and national credibility decreased by a notch, and not many substantial blows.

In short, in the eyes of the World Government, as long as it is not planning a rebellion or a vicious event involving the Poneglyph that could subvert World Government rule, the corrupt regime does not care much.

Therefore, King Arabasta calmly said: "Oh? Are you referring to the matter of my hiring pirates to join the war? I am here to reflect deeply and promise in the presence of Commodore Adkin that such a thing will never happen again."

"Well, I've said what you wanted to say for you, do you have anything else to say next?"

After seeing the king of Arabasta looks like a knife, the other royal nobles, while angry, is also doubly helpless. This older man does not care about the dignity of the royal family.

What does that make them?

While the nobles of Azka were sweating for their king, he probably didn't expect the old bastard to be so desperate when he snapped!

Who knows, King Azka still looked old-fashioned and snickered, "King Arabasta, you are really skilled in avoiding the important and making light of it! It's just a pity that you might not have thought that my information is more detailed than you think."

"You purposely advance the talks to tonight, is not because some domestic political affairs and unable to leave the country for too long, you do so only one purpose, that is to facilitate your contact with a certain pirate secretly to kill us all in this palace!"
