Chapter 327 Artoria will be crowned king
One week later.
The first half of the Grand Line, the Wamy Islands.
The Wamy Islands have a main island and several small islands surrounding it.
The main island is a slightly oval island with a length and width of more than 20 kilometers.
On this main island, there is a kingdom, the Kingdom of Corti.
This is a non-member country with a population of over 300,000. It is a small but not small country.
Around this kingdom, that is, around the main island of Wamy, there are branch islands with diameters ranging from one kilometer to several kilometers.
These branch islands also have towns and villages of the Kingdom of Corti.
However, these branch islands are places that pirates and underground organizations particularly like to visit.
Almost all of them have become the bases of many pirate groups and underground organizations.
Even the main island with the largest population in the Kingdom of Corti is often robbed by pirates and the underground organizations collect protection fees.
This is exactly the fate of this non-member country.
And the reason why the Kingdom of Corti is like this.
It is entirely because it cannot pay the high amount of heavenly gold.
The geographical location of this country is not very good. Every year, when the fields are harvested, the sea will regularly have high tides in front.
The tide can directly submerge a quarter of the land on the main island, and as for the branch islands, one-third to one-half of the land is submerged.
It is difficult to grow anything good on this part of the land soaked in seawater.
Even if most of the seeds are barely planted, they will be flooded before the harvest.
The island itself does not have high-quality specialties, and the people here do not have any special skills.
There are some fish and shrimp resources in the surrounding waters, but there are also some small sea beasts. Going out to sea to fish is like gambling with your life.
Therefore, under the constraints of various conditions, the people of this country can barely make ends meet.
As for paying the Heavenly Gold, even if they tighten their belt, they can't get it together.
In this case.
It can't become a member country.
Then for pirates and some underground organizations, this is a good place to stay.
It even attracted gray trade merchants to come here, but even if merchants settled in, they have nothing to do with this country.
A large group of pirates and underground organizations are sucking blood from the kingdom, and it is difficult for this country to get better.
In addition to pirates, there are even neighboring kingdoms that are world government members that launched wars to plunder the country's resources.
Many civilians at the bottom have been starving to death, and the whole country seems to be in the countdown of life.
In fact, except for civilians.
The high-level nobles and royal families are not much better. After all, as the top of the country.
They are regarded as money bags by some powerful pirate groups.
In the past few years, the royal family was even destroyed once, and then the pirates supported the nobles who were willing to obey them to become the royal family, although they did a little bit of superficial work.
But it can't be hidden from the World Government at all. Such an arrogant move, if it were placed on the member countries.
It would have been sacked by the marine long ago.
But it is not a serious move if it is done with non-member countries.
For the World Government or the Celestial Dragons.
The miserable end of those kingdoms that can't pay the Heavenly Gold is a deterrent to the member countries and non-member countries, at least it is a very powerful deterrent to the high-level nobles of those kingdoms.
They don't want to suffer the same fate.
So they will inevitably rush to pay the Heavenly Gold.
Although this simple and crude deterrent method has side effects, it is convenient and easy to use.
However, now.
Among the numerous non-member states.
The Kingdom of Corti on the Wamy Islands, this non-member state has been reborn today.
On the highest ground of the main island of Wamy, there is a magnificent palace.
This palace was built by the former king who was supported by pirates and cooperated with pirates to collect treasures.
It is somewhat ironic that a non-member state that cannot afford to pay the heavenly gold has such a palace.
But this palace, which the citizens used to dislike, looks particularly pleasing today.
Because a girl came from this multi-story palace to the high platform in the middle of the palace.
The girl's golden hair and green pupils, and perfect face made countless citizens who looked up at her below hold their breath.
The Lake Light Knight, Artoria, this girl with a perfect face will ascend the throne today, be crowned as king, and become the monarch of this country, the Kingdom of Corti.
At this time, Artoria looked at the dense crowd below.
She felt a little speechless in her heart.
Since she left Rusukaina Island, she has walked through some places accompanied by Little Jin.
She has seen both good and bad people in simple villages, quiet towns, chaotic kingdoms, and impoverished civilians.
In this process, she also helped some places resist the invasion of pirates.
Therefore, she gradually gained some reputation.
A few days ago, she came to this country, and the kingdom here also made her see some more negative sides.
Starving civilians, the suffering bottom, powerless, and hopeless.
Pirates and underground organizations that blatantly suck blood from the kingdom.
So, she took action to deal with some pirates and underworld organisations entrenched in the Wamy Islands.
In this process, the civilians of this country also recognized her previous nickname.
Then asked her to help get rid of the king who oppressed this country together with the pirates.
She agreed, but the subsequent development was beyond her expectations.
After helping the citizens of this country deal with the king, she was regarded as a hope by countless people in this country, and they asked her to become the new king.
Originally, she wanted to refuse. Even if this country was really suffering, she could help it once for her own selfish reasons.
But it was impossible for her to stay here to help it forever.
She was the Master's guardian knight first, and then others.
So it was impossible for her to stay in a certain place for a long time. If there was such a place, it must be beside the Master.
However, she agreed in the end.
Because Little Jin said, that was the Master's will, and Artoria agreed to it.
Artoria understood that the reason why this era was becoming more and more chaotic.
Her predecessors played a big role.
And her own Master could not be defined by good and evil.
Therefore, she could only use her limited power to smooth some waves of this sea, trying to achieve a little balance, for her own integrity.
Bang!
Under the eager gazes of many citizens.
Artoria sat on the coronation chair next to the high platform. Not far from the chair, there was a column platform, and the jade plate on the column platform was placed with the crown.
Looking at the crown, Artoria took a deep breath.
When the minister in charge of the coronation ceremony in the palace was about to leave.
But suddenly he stood there in a daze.
A dazzling golden light column appeared in the sky at some point, and the light column penetrated the sky and the earth, and fell from the sky.
Under the dazed gazes of everyone, the entire palace was enveloped.
Buzz buzz buzz
The void seemed to chant the sacred fairy music like an angel, ethereal and pleasant.
Everyone only saw a golden light and shadow emerging in the light column, appearing in front of the girl who was even crowned.
The golden figure could only see the human figure gathered by the light and shadow, and the rest was completely invisible.
But just by seeing it, you can feel from the heart that it is grand, sacred, great, and indescribable.
What is that?!!
