Chapter 27 The Will of the People
A short while later, Nero dragged Monca back, but Monca looked a little strange at this moment.
The right arm, which had been holding the great axe, was now empty. Only the upper half of the arm, from the elbow up, was bleeding profusely.
His face was swollen high, and you could even see that Monka was missing several teeth.
He was clearly tortured.
This left Aini completely baffled. What could have caused Nero to use such severe torture?
“Sha… used a little trick, don’t mind it… Major Aini, you can report the truth.” Nero said with a smile.
Clearly, he had obtained the information he wanted from Monca.
Aini looked at Nero with a meaningful gaze: "Is it alright to hand it back to me like this?"
The deeper meaning is that you're not afraid he'll ask you the same question from Monca.
Nero waved his hand: "No problem!"
Aini raised an eyebrow.
Nairo: "Thank you for your cooperation, goodbye!"
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Ah Jin. He had to admit that Ah Jin had left a very deep impression on him.
He then quickly left.
"brush..."
Enni, Arkin, and Zoro all looked at the pitiful sight of Morgan.
Monka: "..."
At that moment, he felt his hair stand on end, and a chill ran straight to his head. He also had a bad premonition!
His mind raced at that moment.
"That guy asked me three things."
"First, the death of the King of the Goa Kingdom!"
"Secondly, the Arlong Pirates!"
"Thirdly, Germa 66 is attacking the Kingdom of Kogia!"
Upon hearing this, Aini frowned.
Are all three of these things related to you?
Having suffered two blows today and just endured severe torture, Monka seemed resigned to his fate, stating bluntly, "The King of the Goa Kingdom died in a shipwreck; the ship sank not far from the town of Shells. I was the one who went to the rescue... However, although it was called a shipwreck, when we found the people, we discovered they had been poisoned... Afterwards, someone sent me a large sum of Berries, so..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.
"The Arlong Pirates, while not sending as many as they did to Captain Rat, still sent me quite a few Berries every year. It's all so that we, the Marine captains, would turn a blind eye to what they do."
"The attack on the Kingdom of Kogia by Germa 66 was initiated by the Kingdom of Elephant Tower through my channels."
After Monka finished speaking, Aini's brows furrowed slightly in a smile.
Sterry!
When it came to matters concerning the Kingdom of Goa, Enni immediately thought of this guy.
This guy is a tough nut to crack.
When he was eight years old, Staley's biological parents were unable to continue raising him, and he was later adopted by Sabo's father.
As a result, this guy successfully ousted Sabo and became a true nobleman.
Did you think that was the end of it?
No, no, no... becoming a nobleman was only his first step. He then married the princess, Sally Nandcanette. After that, the kings and princes of the Goa Kingdom died mysteriously one by one.
He eventually married Princess Sally Nandkanette of the Goa Kingdom and became the king of the Goa Kingdom.
That's an absolutely brilliant technique.
From his perspective, he was undoubtedly the protagonist of the story. He rose from a poor family that couldn't afford to support him to become a king.
It was definitely a comeback.
So at this point, Staley had already married Sally Nandcanette and had begun to target members of the royal family.
The Arlong Pirates' affairs are perfectly normal.
The evil dragon has been wreaking havoc in the East China Sea for so many years, how could a mere rat colonel possibly suppress the incident completely?
Germa 66's attack on the Kingdom of Corgia was actually through this guy Morgan's channels, which surprised him somewhat.
He couldn't help but wink at Ah Jin.
Akin immediately understood and dragged Monka away. Their sole purpose was to acquire this channel. It might come in handy in the future...
However, it's not really appropriate to ask in public.
"Great, that's wonderful..."
Seeing Morgan dragged away like a dead dog, the townspeople couldn't hide their joy. It was all because of Morgan that they had developed a fear of the Navy.
Otherwise, they would have already cheered.
Even so, they couldn't suppress the upward curve of their lips, revealing genuine smiles.
Seeing this, Aini took the opportunity to announce loudly: "First, starting today, the 153rd branch here will be renamed the East China Sea Inspectorate Headquarters. The entire Clover Island, including Shells Town, and the surrounding waters will be under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate Headquarters."
All the unreasonable taxes that Monca had previously imposed here have been cancelled, and the normal tax system from before Monca's arrival has been restored.
At the same time, it must be stated that the Inspectorate Headquarters oversees the entire East China Sea Navy. Anyone who has been mistreated by the Navy can come to us; we will be your strongest support.
Secondly, I also want to announce to you, and indeed to the entire East China Sea.
Our East China Sea Inspectorate has implemented a reward system. Anyone who sees or hears of naval violations of naval regulations can report them to the East China Sea Inspectorate.
If the facts are true, the whistleblower will receive the appropriate reward. Furthermore, the higher the rank of the person being reported, the more generous the reward will be.
Furthermore, we will keep everything about the whistleblower confidential.
Furthermore, if a whistleblower not only reports a fact but also has irrefutable evidence in a particular incident, they might be exceptionally included in the East China Sea Inspectorate, or their family members... such as their children.
"Third, I will expand the port of Shells Town. Because I want to make Shells Town the trading center of the East China Sea... But don't worry, you won't have to pay for this, not even a single Beli."
Your job is to cooperate with the previous expansion. In other words, you will also be involved. Of course, you will be paid reasonable wages.
"What? Tax revenue has returned to normal levels?"
"There's a reward for reporting the Navy? With solid evidence, you could even become an inspector and benefit your children?"
"To develop Shells Town into a trade center for the East China Sea?"
"Will the job pay reasonable wages?"
This must be a dream!
At this moment, the townspeople of Shells stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
It took me a long time to come to my senses.
"Very good...."
This time, the townspeople cheered. At this moment, the way they looked at Aini completely changed.
There was no longer any fear, only respect.
The younger ones even showed expressions of admiration. After all, they weren't stupid; they naturally understood the points Aini had just made.
It will bring tremendous benefits to the entire town of Shells.
At that moment, Aini turned her gaze to the naval soldiers. The naval soldiers were all smiling.
They understood that the era of Monca's oppressive rule was over.
