Chapter 767
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Deponâs Supervisor
After laughing, the three of them stepped forward in unison. David stretched out two hands and held them. Cass and Wilbur each reached out one hand and held Davidâs hand tightly.
It was as if he had met his own kind and was excited for a long time.
âIâm so lucky!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
David said excitedly, âIâm so lucky to meet the two of you. Mr. Cass, Iâve always heard of your name. You are the one who has made the most contribution to Masterâs cause. When you were stationed on Pegasus Island, you killed more than half of the active pirates in West Blue, so that Masterâs reputation wonât fall. Every time I mention it, Iâm excited. Itâs a pity that Iâm a king. Otherwise, it would be my long-cherished wish to join the Marine and fight under Master!â
âMr. Wilbur, the words you gave me are too useful. Every time I read them, I have a different experience. In the future, please send more words that my master has said to me so that I can study better. Although I canât see my master, I can see what my master has said and I can feel that my master is talking to me. You, who can summarize what my master has said, are very amazing!â
âYou flatter me!â
Kazâs face was solemn as he shook Davidâs hand heavily. âThe most important thing is to agree with Mr. Kuroâs idea of justice and contribute to it. This is the existence that we admire! In contrast, my contribution is far from worth mentioning. I am just an apprentice behind Mr. Kuroâs justice. You think that my contribution is all taught by Mr. Kuro.â
âMe too, I just heard a little about Mr. Kuroâs justice. What I did was just copying, which is far from enough, and I am not worthy of the evaluation of âamazingâ you said. However, our hearts are the same for Mr. Kuroâs justice philosophy!â Wilbur nodded.
The three of them were speechless again. When they looked at each other, there seemed to be a spark.
âMr. Cass! Mr. Wilbur!â David couldnât help but say, âLetâs work together. If there are two people who can contribute together, maybe Masterâs long-cherished wish can be realized in our hands!â
âI canât be a gentleman. Just call me Cass, King David,â Cass said excitedly.
âMe too!â Wilbur said excitedly.
âDonât call me king, just call me David. I am just a king entrusted by Master. Master is the king in my heart!â David also said excitedly.
The three of them looked at each other again and spoke.
âKaz!â
âWilbur!â
âDavid!â
The three of them shouted at each other and the sparks in their eyes became thicker and thicker, revealing a sense of appreciation.
âThen I wonât be polite, David. Since you are the king of Dressrosa, why do you want to conquer so many countries? Although you are a righteous person, so many conquests are unrighteous.â Kaz asked the question he had been wanting to ask.
Dressrosa has recently become famous in the sea and has become a powerful force. The Marines who care about the outside world have naturally heard about it.
âFor Masterâs long-cherished wish!â
David said solemnly, âMaster wants world peace. As his knight, it is the knightâs mission to fulfill his masterâs wish. There are too many countries on the sea. Even if I donât conquer them, they will spontaneously attack. In that case, the world will never be peaceful. Itâs better for me to take action and bring them into a unified country. As for why we are fighting here, itâs because world peace is a grand goal. Before that, I want to ensure the peace around Master.â
âI, Dressrosa, will clean up the country near Master. In this way, as long as there is enough peace, the number of people who want to go to the sea to be pirates will definitely decrease. And we can also protect Master and make the sea near Master peaceful!â
Kazâs eyes widened. âSparashi! Sparashi! You think so deep, David. Youâre amazing!â
âItâs just the only thing I can do with the geographical advantage. It canât be called amazing. This is all I can do.â
David scratched his head in embarrassment and then sighed. âAnd it can only be done to this extent. Although your sea area has been connected from the route and the map and it is close to Master, it is also the limit. Because of the long war, it is difficult for the nearby countries to sell supplies to us easily and they all buy them at a high price. Our money is no longer enough for me to conquer and build.â
As he spoke, he looked outside the palace. âLaya Island has to be rebuilt after the conquest, turning it into the same environment as Dressrosa. The cost of it needs to stop me from moving forward.â
âI can donate my salary!â
Kaz shouted, âItâs very little, but please let me contribute!â
David looked touched. âAs much as I want to say no, the domestic situation is like this. I still need it, even if itâs just a little. Master said not to underestimate small things. They are huge when gathered together.â
Wilbur nodded. âThese are the words from verse 15 on page 3 of the Justice Quotations.â
Donald, who came from behind: ââ¦â
If he remembered correctly, Vice-Admiral Kuro had saidâ¦
⦠.
âLida, can you pay attention when you spend money? Even if you have money, you shouldnât spend it like this! A lot of the money you give has already been exceeded. No matter how much money you have, donât waste it. Donât throw away money in a hurry just to eat the next thing. You have to wait for others to give you change!â
âAh? But I canât wait. Besides, there are subordinates for me, and I didnât exceed it by much. Itâs just 100 more Berries.â
âOne is 100 Berries, 10,000 is 1,000,000 Berries! Have you heard of Little by Little!â
⦠.
Born in the Country of Flowers, it was easier for him to understand Vice-Admiral Kuroâs words. If he understood it correctly, it should be âA little makes a lotâ.
âIn addition to the problem of supplies and money, Dressrosaâs current huge territory is also a problem. Although the treatment of them is the same, I always feel that there is a lack of a unified spirit. What I can feel is different customs and different degrees of technology. Even if it is forcibly built to a unified height, there will be contradictions. Recently, it is just a matter of constantly conquering to transfer this contradiction, but the contradictions in these places will break out sooner or later, which also requires me to stop.â
David continued, âIâm going to use my Knightâs code to teach these people. If they become like me, maybe the contradictions will be gone and they can also contribute to His Lordship.â
âI seeâ¦â
Wilbur touched his chin and suddenly thought of something. He widened his eyes and said, âDavid, why donât you try using âQuotations of Justiceâ? You are the king and you have this power. I have heard Mr. Kuro say before that there is a place where there are many countries, different races, and different languages, but because they believe in the same thing, they are integrated and formed a disguised unity. Although they are still different, they have a high level of recognition, I think it is called⦠Ya, Ya something?â
Kaz added, âAbraham is useless!â
âYes, itâs called this, although I donât know why Mr. Kuro calls it trash, maybe the reason itâs trash is that there are too many pirates and bandits. But we can use this thing and use âQuotations of Justiceâ!â
Wilbur nodded heavily. âSpread the words of justice to Dressrosa and let people agree with Mr. Kuroâs justice! Those who agree with the justice will not become useless. Even if the race is different and the place is too far away and the technology is different, as long as they agree with the âJustice Quotationsâ, it will beâ¦â
David had a flash of inspiration and interrupted, âThey are all Dressrosa people! Yes! Thatâs right, you are right! As long as we agree with Masterâs justice, we are all Dressrosa people!â
With that, he said excitedly, âNo, it shouldnât be called Dressrosa. If we agree with justice, we donât even need to conquer to complete the purpose of peace. The size of Dressrosa alone is definitely not enough. That must be the union of our respective states, but it must be mainly me, Dressrosa, because I want to guarantee his lordshipâs dominance of peace. Then, it will be calledâ¦â
âLetâs call it Depon!â
David said with wild joy: âI am the king of Dressrosa, but I can be the knight and seneschal of Depon and I will only serve Master!â
