Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 358 Public Statement

"Good news! Lord Wang Hai has finally decided to establish a kingdom belonging to Peace Island."

"Where did the news come from? Could it be that you read the news? At first glance, this kind of news is deliberately thrown out by the world government to sow discord."

In the Heping Island commercial area, Heping No. [-] Street, a bus was speeding down the street.

The car was crowded with people going to work.

Although he did not take a private car but took a bus to go to work, all the passengers on the bus seemed to be in high spirits.

Not all of them can't afford private cars, but too many people rush to buy cars after they have money. For a while, it puts huge pressure on urban transportation.

Therefore, people voluntarily advocated that when everyone gets off work in the morning, noon and evening, they should take public transportation as much as possible and reduce going out in private cars.

As a result, traffic pressure is greatly reduced.

After Wang Hai found out about this, he also gave special affirmation and praise.

Subsequently, departments and factories responsible for the production of public transportation must always consider people's travel needs and continuously optimize and upgrade transportation.

While ensuring safety, make public transportation as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Nowadays, most means of transportation are no worse than some high-end private cars in all aspects.

Therefore, more people prefer to take public transportation.

As for private cars, they are mostly used during breaks, family outings, or in emergencies.

Having said that, most of the passengers on this bus at this time are from the same work unit.

We were all acquaintances and chatted with each other along the way.

Some people talked about children and family, some talked about work and life, some talked about entertainment, and some talked about recent major events on the island.

At this time, someone suddenly talked about establishing a kingdom on Peace Island.

Before this, this was nothing new.

Everyone is looking forward to the establishment of a kingdom on Heping Island as soon as possible, but there has been no concrete response from above, so everyone can only be anxious.

"I also read this article [The World's Largest Pirate Kingdom Is About to Appear], but it doesn't make sense. It actually deliberately ignored Lord Wang Hai. Anyone who is not blind will know that this is a trick of the World Government."

"What I said is true. According to internal intelligence, Lord Wang Hai has agreed to establish Wang Hai."

"Internal information? I've heard this many times."

"Don't believe it, one of my relatives is a carpenter, and he has been recruited to participate in the construction of the palace."

"Royal Palace? Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true. People from Heping Island will not lie to people from Heping Island!"

"If that's the case, it's definitely the best news I've heard this year."

"Since Lord Wang Hai agreed, then he must be the king, right?"

"It must be Mr. Wang Hai. I am the first to disapprove of the others."

……

At the same time, after a night and early morning, many people on Heping Island were discussing the same news.

Zhou Yu and others did not deliberately hide it, and people's comments were quickly confirmed at noon.

As the current first minister of Heping Island, Zhou Yu informed all residents of Heping Island through live broadcast.

"Recently, Lord Wang Hai has officially entered the general level. After careful consideration, he decided to agree to everyone's demands and start establishing a kingdom belonging to Peace Island. For specific matters, please wait for follow-up notifications."

Facing Heping Island, and even the area around Heping Island, which has covered most of the islands and forces in the New World, and can receive signals to watch the live TV broadcast, Zhou Yu made such a speech.

It didn't last long, it started at 10 noon and lasted only [-] minutes.

This speech directly made Heping Island excited.

Moreover, it quickly spread to the outside of Heping Island, like an invisible storm, sweeping directly into the sea.

"It's great, I've finally waited for this day."

"With general-level strength, he is already the top powerhouse in the sea. He is worthy of being Lord Wang Hai."

"Long live Lord Wang Hai!"

"We firmly support Lord Wang Hai to become the king."

"Long live the Kingdom of Peace!"

"Long live the peace!"

……

As the news was announced, countless people on Heping Island cheered.

The celebration began immediately.

Many people directly choose to ask for leave. As the number of people asking for leave increases, some companies, units, and factories, as long as they are not necessary, directly declare a half-day holiday.

So, from the whole afternoon on, there was a lively and festive atmosphere on Heping Island.

Some foreign businessmen also joined in the celebration.

The streets are full of people, and many shops and taverns offer free food and drinks directly in celebration.

Not only ordinary people, but also many singers, dancers, stars, and warriors participated.

While maintaining order, we also guided everyone to celebrate in an orderly manner.

Most people later gathered in squares across the city.

Wang Hai developed commerce and real estate, choosing to combine the two and establishing large-scale urban complexes integrating business and entertainment in different areas of each city.

There are commercial streets, huge commercial and entertainment plazas, shopping malls, food cities, movie entertainment cities, etc.

The huge square can directly accommodate a gathering of 5 people.

This is not only an entertainment square, a place for people to have collective entertainment activities, but also a place for training.

There is a huge video screen on the wall of the building in front of the square.

Important speeches delivered by senior leaders of Heping Island are often broadcast live so that everyone can watch them from here.

Or, sometimes some large-scale events are broadcast live.

Live training and guidance.

People came here and after watching Zhou Yu's live broadcast, most of them did not leave, but gathered more and more.

Some local singers and stars went directly to the stage to perform and sing for everyone to see through the big screen.

As a result, the atmosphere of celebration was stronger and more lively than when most events were held in the past.

Not only that.

Not long after Zhou Yu's live broadcast, when more people gathered here, a new official live broadcast appeared.

"It's Lord Thor!"

Seeing the characters appearing in the live broadcast, people celebrating in squares in many cities stopped temporarily and looked at the big screen of the live broadcast.

Ananda's appearance let them know that there was probably important news to be announced.

Sure enough, Ananda then announced an important news.

"I, Ananda, firmly support Wang Hai as the new king. From now on, I will continue to contribute unswervingly to the peace of the peaceful kingdom..."

Ananda's speech was also not long, and his meaning was clear, which was to express his attitude and stand on Wang Hai's side.

This result is not surprising to anyone.

Everyone knows that Ananda is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He is Wang Hai's first general and is also Wang Hai's father-in-law.

"Long live the God of Thunder!"

"Long live Lord Ananda!"

"Support Lord Ananda!"

Everyone cheered for Ananda's speech, because Ananda, like them, supported Wang Hai.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Just as Zhou Yu previously announced that Wang Hai agreed to establish a kingdom, he also revealed that Wang Hai officially had the strength of a general.

Wang Hai has already reached the general level at a young age, which is undoubtedly more convincing.

Although a true king may not necessarily be the most powerful in terms of military force, without any strength like White Beard and Golden Lion, even if he becomes a king, he may not be able to control such ministers.

Wang Hai's original candidate-level strength was comparable to that of an ordinary general, which was barely enough.

But there is no doubt that the further level of general is undoubtedly more convincing.

What's more, Wang Hai already possesses such strength at a young age. Everyone has no doubt that his potential will only become stronger in the future.

Not to mention surpassing Whitebeard, but trying to reach the same level as Whitebeard, at least at the same level.

Compared with Whitebeard, he also has the ability to govern the country, and is undoubtedly a more suitable king.

Now, even Ananda, a big shot who is no worse than the White Bearded Golden Lion and also has extraordinary combat power, has come forward and directly expressed his support for Wang Hai.

There is no doubt that this is good news.

After hearing the news, everyone was happy, but also a little expectant and anxious.

Ananda has made his attitude clear, so how will White Beard and Golden Lion react?

Of course everyone hopes that White Beard and Golden Lion will openly support Wang Hai like Ananda.

However, I can't help but worry that the two of them will have different opinions on this.

Although everyone wants Wang Hai to become the king, they don't want Wang Hai and the two of them to fall out because of this.

When the time comes, conflicts will arise within Peace Island, which will only benefit the World Government.

With anticipation and apprehension, everyone had little intention of celebrating.

Everyone was staring at the big screen, hoping to see White Beard and Golden Lion giving speeches in support of Wang Hai.

Even, even just one of them would be fine.

Didn't keep everyone waiting.

Soon, many figures appeared on the big screen.

Seeing these people, people suddenly became nervous.

Because on the screen, there is not only the Golden Lion, but also Whitebeard, as well as all the division captains and affiliated pirate captains under Whitebeard.

People noticed that the people who appeared on the big screen were all wearing formal clothes.

Some people had already made speculations, and while breathing a sigh of relief, excitement showed on their faces.

Obviously, they felt that Whitebeard and the others, like Ananda Zhou Yu, dressed up for live broadcast, presumably also supported Wang Hai.

However, some people became more nervous.

Because they were even more afraid to hear, Whitebeard stood up at this time and made a speech that he also wanted to compete for the position of king.

Even seeing the golden lion next to him made them even more worried.

Because Golden Lion and White Beard may have joined forces.

"I think everyone can't wait." Whitebeard rarely spoke in a formal tone and said publicly.

"Don't worry, I will tell you the answer directly. Like you, we all support Wang Hai as king."

Under everyone's expectant and anxious gazes, Whitebeard said directly.

After a moment of silence, all the squares burst into cheers.

Not just the square, every city was enveloped in cheers.

The live broadcast reached the eyes and ears of everyone on Heping Island through large and small screens.

Countless people burst into tears at this moment.

Whitebeard paused for a moment, as if he expected everyone to cheer.

"At the beginning, I just planned to cooperate with Wang Hai to do some business and make some money, so that the people under my protection can live a better life."

"I know that my people and I are only good at fighting, so when Marco mentioned Wang Hai to me, I decided to give him a try and give him a chance."

"Everyone already knows the result. Wang Hai did an outstanding job, completely beyond everyone's expectations."

Whitebeard spoke unhurriedly. After everyone cheered, they stopped and listened to him quietly.

In fact, everyone already knows about the cooperation between Wang Hai and the Whitebeard Pirates, and the establishment of Peace Island, but now I am still interested in hearing the story from Whitebeard.

Whitebeard continued.

"I have lived for so many years, but there are not many people who I truly admire. One is Roger. He started the era of great pirates."

"Countless people lost their families because of this, and they hated him because of it. Regarding this, I think Roger should have expected it before he died, but he still did it."

"Everyone is not an idiot and should be able to understand why he did this. The purpose is to turn the sea upside down and try to allow latecomers to break the pattern of the world government dominating the sea."

"Right or wrong, I don't want to say more, but Roger is certainly worthy of respect."

Regarding the Pirate King Roger mentioned by Whitebeard, everyone has very mixed feelings.

The vast majority of people on Heping Island are victims of this era.

However, after coming to Heping Island, I became literate and learned a lot of truths, which broadened my horizons.

Everyone also knows that the root of their suffering lies in the world government and the decadent feudal rule.

Of course, it has something to do with Roger.

But as Whitebeard said, they also knew that Roger did deserve respect.

After all, before they joined Heping Island, or after joining Heping Island, they mostly just considered being alone.

There are few people who can bear all the sins and fight against the world government like Roger.

Of course, they don't have Roger's strength. Even if they want to start the great pirate era like Roger, they can't do it.

What they can do is to make their own contribution to Peace Island, which is to fight against the world government and contribute their strength.

Because Peace Island itself is an existence that fights against the world government.

"I originally thought that no one could make me admire except Roger, until Wang Hai appeared."

Whitebeard continued to speak without being disturbed by others. When he talked about Roger, the golden lion also fell into memories.

"Although the methods are different, he and Roger are already trying to save the world. Even, I have to admit, he does it more beautifully than Roger."

"I believe that if Roger were still alive, he would regret his choice."

Yes, Pirate King Roger will definitely regret it.

Because of the existence of Wang Hai and Heping Island.

The people on Peace Island agree with Whitebeard's view. Although Roger is trying to save the world, the method he uses is difficult to accept.

At least, they can't approve it.

Although they knew that Roger's approach was not a better choice.

After all, there is only one King Hai in this sea.
