Chapter 1031 Gajeel and Weevil Arrive

Which force in the Kingdom of Lulucia arrived the slowest? It was the Revolutionary Army that arrived late. Who would have thought that Iron Dragon, who performed well on the battlefield, was actually a patient with transportation sickness.

"Haven't you arrived yet? Ugh..."

Gajeel lay on the side of the ship in pain. The voyage was finally coming to an end. Every day and every night on the ship was a great torture for Iron Dragon.

The feeling of being dizzy in a vehicle was more uncomfortable than any torture. Gajeel regretted accepting the mission from the leader.

"Are you feeling better?"

The burly and bloated Whitebeard II happened to be on the same boat with Tielong, so the two of them had a companion along the way.

While Weevil was searching for his mother on the sea, chatting with Gajeel, the seasickness was alleviated, acting like a placebo.

Whitebeard II wandered around the sea looking for his mother. This journey to the Kingdom of Lulucia was already the 250th kingdom he had visited.

One day, Weevil's mother, Miss Barkin, suddenly left without saying goodbye, causing Whitebeard II, who had a limited IQ, to search the entire island from top to bottom before he was finally sure that his mother was not with him.

After Weevil helped Gajeel off the boat, the ship sailed to the next destination. The captain would not stay in a strange country for too long, as this would be irresponsible for the lives of the passengers on the ship.

“I wish your mother was here”

Gajeel's seasickness symptoms had not yet subsided. His hands and feet were floating and his head was dizzy. He vomited all the food and drinks he had eaten on the way into the sea. Now he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

When Weevil saw this, he didn't dislike his new friend at all. He picked up Gajeel and carried him on his shoulders. The two of them walked towards the entrance and exit of the Kingdom of Lulucia.

After entering the Kingdom of Lulucia, Gajeel was able to keenly perceive that there was some difference in time between home and abroad, and the various temperature details and the angle of the sun did not match.

The Kingdom of Lulucia has become a testing ground. Ever since Tielong entered the royal capital, he felt his eyelids twitching. Tielong's sixth sense reminded him that this incident was not as simple as he had imagined.

"Weibull, let's find a place to eat first. I need to replenish my energy. Maybe there will be a big battle waiting for us tonight."

Whitebeard II nodded after hearing this. He cared very much about his new friend and wanted to take good care of Gajeel for the time being.

After making arrangements for Tielong, he would consider looking for clues about his mother in the royal capital. There must be an explanation as to whether Miss Bakin was alive or dead.

However, these two gentlemen did not have any money in their pockets. The fare for the Iron Dragon ship was paid in advance by the Revolutionary Army, so Weevil simply did not pay for the ship.

He could enter the restaurant without any money, and didn't care at all that his pockets were cleaner than his face. He asked the waiters to bring him good wine and food, and Gajeel wanted to have a good drink with Weevil.

After joining the Revolutionary Army, Gajeel rarely smelled of alcohol, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army was very strict about military discipline.

The revolutionary army's regulations were written to prevent revolutionary soldiers from drinking for long periods of time. Only on certain holidays were revolutionary soldiers allowed to have a few drinks but were not allowed to get drunk.

When there was an opportunity to go out on business, Gajeel must drink heartily this time and drink back all the wine he vomited on the ship.

After all, the iron cage is an iron stomach. It has full confidence in its stomach, which can perfectly digest metal. So what if it vomits some bile and stomach acid after drinking too much.

The food was served faster than expected. From the looks of Whitebeard II and Tielong, it was obvious that they were bad guys who were not easy to mess with. The shop owner and waiters could only serve them tremblingly.

He was afraid that he might say something wrong and offend the two burly pirates. As for reporting to the police and sending troops to arrest the two people in the store, this method could not be implemented from the beginning.

The princes and nobles at the top of the Lulucia Kingdom do not care about the lives of the people below and will not send troops to protect their subjects.

As for being taken advantage of by pirates, as long as the pirates don't cause too much trouble, Guang generally won't send troops to suppress them.

If sending troops to suppress the rebellion fails, the king can only ask the nearby naval base to let the navy go out of the base to suppress the bandits. A large sum of bribes must be paid each time, and the navy's visit is not in vain.

The pirates oppressed the people in the country, but as long as they didn't cause too much trouble, the upper nobles didn't have much energy to care. They only cared about whether the people under their rule paid the head tax in full.

Fortunately, the two pirates who entered the store today were only concerned with eating, drinking and chatting together. They had no interest in the small business restaurant and did not even think of asking for money.

"Is there anything unusual recently?" Gajeel asked the boss under the influence of alcohol. He was unfamiliar with the place and could only ask local acquaintances for information.

Unusual place? The shop owner thought for a long time but could not give an answer. Recently, the Kingdom of Lulucia has been peaceful. Except for the daily mischief of the upper class, everything in the capital is normal.

After the demise of the Whitebeard Pirates, the number of pirates on the sea not only did not decrease, but the number of pirate groups going to sea was several times more than the same period.

The navy, which has been severely damaged, will temporarily choose to adopt a defensive strategy and reduce the number of external attacks. The unlucky ones will be the member states.

After paying the Sky Gold for so many years in vain, in the end, some small and medium-sized pirate groups formed a bandit alliance to attack the member countries, and the navy did not come to rescue in time.

This ultimately led to the plundering of the member states' population and wealth. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Lulucia withstood the storm, the pirates were kept out of the city, and the crown did not fall to the ground.

"Perhaps the only change it has brought is that there are more and more religions in the country, which have defrauded believers out of their fortunes. They would rather not eat than pay the church," said the shopkeeper, with a look of contempt on his face, completely looking down on those poor souls who have been brainwashed by religion.

To imagine that one can wash away one's suffering through meager money and religion is wishful thinking for any intelligent person.

In this era of pirates, most people cannot save others and can only save themselves at best. If they cannot even save themselves, they will only continue to sink, and even worse, they will not live to middle age.

Through chatting, the shop owner felt that Gajeel did not have much banditry. Although he was a little arrogant in dealing with people, at least he treated ordinary people as human beings and was willing to listen to the voices of them.

Tielong's questions opened the conversation. The shop owner complained bitterly to the revolutionary army cadres, describing how the king's family and the aristocracy exploited the people and how difficult it was to run the shop.

The shop owners know that it is useless to tell outsiders how much debt they have to bear and how high the taxes are. They will feel unhappy if they don't speak out.

Ordinary people will sooner or later be unable to bear the high-pressure environment without a pressure relief valve. When these people have trouble eating and drinking, they will then remember the group of domineering nobles above them.

Gajeel saw it all and kept it in mind. The Kingdom of Lulucia had sufficient soil for revolution, and he could feel the people's resentment.

It's just that the people nowadays don't know how to resist systematically. They need a leader to stand up and lead them to resist tyranny, overthrow the blood-sucking worms above their heads and punish those evil people.
