Chapter 251: Who Agrees, Who Opposes

The sudden landing of a huge ruins regiment shocked them. Only then did they realize that there was a Marine at the port.

And in the sky behind Marine, those huge ruins piled up into black clouds.

“Marines?”

Salor frowned. “The struggle of our kingdom has nothing to do with you Marines. Don’t be a busybody.”

They are not pirates but the Kingdom Army, and they are the Kingdom Army of the World Government. Even the World Government is not qualified to manage internal affairs, let alone Marines.

“That’s right, you just have to fight the pirates and nothing else has anything to do with you.” The noble general of Suknay said.

“You can’t say that. Don’t you care about the civilians?”

Kuro spat out the rest of the cigar and lit another one. “Don’t let him destroy such a prosperous place like Moe Island.”

“This is our territory. What we do has nothing to do with you, and it is not your Marine’s business,” Salor said.

“This is our territory!”

The noble of Suknay retorted, “The Moe Island is the territory of our Suknay Kingdom!”

“It seems that I have to fight to know who it belongs to!”

Salor said coldly, “Listen, prepare to shoot…”

Boom!

A loud noise came from the sea.

One of the ships in the fleet of the Kingdom of Suknai and the Kingdom of Jolman was sunk by the sudden descent of the Ruins Regiment. The wreckage flew everywhere. One of the wooden pieces brushed against Salor’s face and a trace of blood flowed down his cheek.

Salor brushed the blood from his face with his fingers, sweat appearing on his forehead.

The nobleman opposite him had almost the same attitude.

“Be careful…”

Kuro took out his cigar and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He said lightly, “The Grand Line is a damn place. It’s normal for something to fall from the sky and cause a tsunami on the sea.”

With that, he reached out and a huge tsunami suddenly rolled up on the sea, and the huge shadow formed by the tsunami enveloped everyone present.

There was no doubt that if this tsunami came over, not to mention the few ships nearby, this town would probably not be able to escape.

Suknay’s noble looked at the tsunami, swallowed and said to Kuro: “What do you want?”

“It’s very boring to fight and kill. Let’s find a place to sit down and talk.” Kuro opened his fingers and the tsunami fell into the sea, creating a big wave that shook the surrounding ships.

… .

In a tavern in downtown.

The people drinking inside had already left when the armies of the two kingdoms appeared.

Outside the tavern, the army of the Kingdom of Jorman and the army of the Kingdom of Suknay are staring at each other, and Marine is standing in the middle, acting as the adjustment of the two groups of people, which makes them fight.

In the tavern, the three parties found a table and sat down.

Kuro sat on the side of the front door, followed by Crowe and Leda.

On the other two sides sat the nobles of Jolman and Suknay.

Jorman’s noble general, named Salor, is the son of a court minister, one of the most powerful people in the country.

Suknai’s noble general is called Enoch, who is also a real power.

Enoch drank a glass of ale in one gulp to relieve the tension that he had been frightened by Kuro.

“Lieutenant Colonel Lucilu Kuro, right? What do you want? You are only a Marine. The territorial disputes have nothing to do with you.” He glared at Kuro, as if this could bring him courage.

Salor pushed the ale glass and said to the trembling waiter, “Give me a glass of plain water, I don’t drink.”

As he spoke, he continued, “The dispute of Moe Island is a dispute between our two countries, and this place has been contested by us for a long time. Now that the dwarf is dead, we have all suffered a great loss. This Moe Island that acts as a bridgehead of two countries must be taken down. Even if you stop us now, you can’t stop us later.”

If they took down Moe Island, no, even if they didn’t, it was better to use this place as a battlefield than to use their own country as a battlefield.

Just like 20 years ago, everyone fought here. If they won, they would occupy the bridgehead and attack the enemy. If they lost, they would retreat and wait for the next attack.

How can it be so easy to understand each other?

Although Salor didn’t like that short man, now that he is really dead, some things will be troublesome.

Their two countries rely on buying the troops that Poropa has experimented with to maintain the balance. If they fight with that kind of thing, they will not feel heartache even if they lose, and they will not win much.

Therefore, they all need Moe Island to maintain such a scene and control the war on this island. Otherwise, once the war escalates, it will be really bad.

Moreover, the geographical location of Moe Island is also what they need. Situated in the middle of the sea route, any sea route and more than ten sea routes, grasping this place is equivalent to grasping the initiative of those merchants.

No one was willing to give up.

Kuro bit his cigar and glanced at them.

“Both of your countries say that Moe Island is your territory, but Moe Island has not been controlled by you for so many years. As a country sitting on two routes, you don’t focus on development and think about war every day. You also want to fight for an island that is stuck in the middle of the route.”

“You don’t know that you are fighting each other, which will give the pirates a chance. As a Marine, let me make a suggestion here. From now on, this is a Marine base, and we Marines will take over.”

“We guarantee the passage of the waterway and let the merchants go to whichever country they want through the waterway, and there will be no pirates. You will return to your own routes and develop, and there will be no more war.”

“Who approves and who opposes.”

Kuro leaned back in his chair.

These two countries don’t want to fight anymore. Kuro can see this. If they fight now, it will be completely the same as the current situation and tradition. It is hard to say whose side the island is fighting for. In that case, let him give them a way out.

“I object!” Enoch slapped the table and said loudly: “Even Marines have no right to decide the ownership of this island!”

**TIP**

Kuro slapped Enoch until his body spun and he fell heavily to the ground.

He stepped on the table with a cigar in his mouth and said fiercely, “I’m talking to you so nicely, and you say I’m against it, and I’m giving you face? You old fart, go to the World Government and sue me!”

With that, he looked at Salor.

“What about you, are you against it too?”

Salor looked at Enoch, who was twitching on the ground, and then looked at Kuro, who looked unhappy. His head shook like a rattle.

“I have no objections at all.”

So you should have just said it straight from the beginning. Why did you call him into the tavern as if you were negotiating?

Negotiations are meant to be negotiated. If we don’t talk about it, how will there be any results? We just want to talk. The space you talk about is not given to others. Your way of playing is not right…
