"Something terrible has happened! The city guards have surrendered! Shogun Solo has died in battle! The Kingdom of Colunt is about to be destroyed!"
After Xia Luo walked into the city swaggeringly with nearly a hundred pirates, the once quiet town descended into chaos. Countless citizens scattered wildly in the streets. Local villains and hooligans took advantage of the chaos. Some were looting, some were killing, and some were raping. Countless people unleashed the darkest side in their hearts.
When Xia Luo saw these people, he casually struck with his sword, which shocked his subordinates. The pirates had been looking greedy just a moment ago. Then they quickly put away their thoughts.
Led by an officer, Xia Luo and his group soon arrived at the palace. As soon as Xia Luo reached the kingdom, a cannonball came flying towards him. Xia Luo raised his sword and struck. The cannonball exploded in mid - air. Then, with another strike of his sword, the palace wall exploded!
"Go and loot!" Xia Luo said softly.
At these words, the pirates around Xia Luo all lit up with excitement.
"Brothers! Follow me and charge!" A pirate beside him shouted and led the way into the open palace gate.
Xia Luo knew that it would be stupid to keep suppressing pirates. Nearly a hundred pirates rushed into the palace from beside Xia Luo, but Xia Luo was in no hurry. He looked at the trembling officer.
"Take me to see your king!" Xia Luo said to the officer, his eyes cold and indifferent.
"Yes! Yes!" The officer quickly led the way.
All along the way, there were cries of pain and bursts of laughter. Xia Luo ignored them and walked straight towards the main hall.
"Damn it! Damn it! You have betrayed your king!" A middle - aged man with disheveled hair and a strong face stood roaring in the empty hall. But there was no one around him. This man was the king of the country. He had offended Rocks by rejecting his conditions and insulting him on the phone.
After learning the reason, Xia Luo couldn't help but give a thumbs - up, thinking the king was really stupid to act like that. That's really a stupid way to court death.
Xia Luo walked into the main hall and looked at the disheveled king.
"Traitor! Villain! You won't come to a good end!" The king cursed when he saw Xia Luo, then raised his sword and slit his own throat.
Clang!
The sword fell to the ground, and the king knelt down limply, silent.
Seeing how tough the king was, Xia Luo didn't know what to say. But Rocks wanted the king's head, so Xia Luo had to cut it off and take it back.
"Go! Cut off his head for me!" Xia Luo ordered the officer who had been leading the way. The problem was that all his subordinates had gone to plunder.
The once - trembling officer stared at Xia Luo in shock.
"Hmm?" Xia Luo frowned slightly.
"Yes! Yes!" The officer, looking at the king he had once served, overcame his fear, picked up the sword the king had used to commit suicide, closed his eyes, and chopped off the king's head.
Charlotte was quite satisfied.
Although he didn't really care, he didn't want to be involved in such a disgusting thing either.
After all, beheading is such an uncivilized act!
"Bring the head with me!"
After saying that, Charlotte turned around and walked out.
Looking at the chaotic scene outside, Charlotte felt a bit of a headache. After all, it was his first time leading a group of pirates alone to destroy a country, and he wasn't quite used to it yet.
He stopped two pirates.
"Put this head away properly. We'll take it back later!"
The two pirates who were stopped recognized Charlotte immediately and nodded frantically in a hurry. They quickly took the head from the officer's hand.
After watching the two pirates leave, Charlotte started to gather the other pirates.
Fortunately, the palace wasn't very big; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for him to gather everyone.
More than an hour later!
Looking at the large bags of gold coins and jewelry in everyone's hands, along with the packs of berries, Charlotte frowned. He felt it wasn't enough.
Suddenly, he noticed an officer in magnificent military uniform standing beside him. His eyes lit up.
"Do you know where the noble district is?"
Charlotte asked.
This officer had been silent ever since the king's head was cut off.
Suddenly hearing Charlotte's question, he looked at Charlotte in shock.
"You devil!"
The officer suddenly swung the king's sword in his hand.
Charlotte's lips curled up.
He directly grabbed the tip of the sword with his right hand, covering it with Armament Haki!
"Hehe!"
Charlotte shook his head. The sword he was holding shattered directly.
He grabbed the officer by the neck.
In an instant, he knew the location of the nobles.
He also understood why the officer had resisted.
It turned out that he was also a noble!
No wonder he had resisted after hearing Charlotte's words.
"Let's go! Let's go rob the nobles!"
Charlotte waved his hand and said.
"Yeah! Long live the boss!"
All the pirates waved their weapons and shouted.
Charlotte's lips twitched slightly.
He walked towards the outside of the palace.
They kept looting until the next morning.
Then they returned to the ship with the treasures of a kingdom.
"Hehe! The nobles are much richer than the king!"
Charlotte looked at the treasures on the deck and sighed.
He only found about 300 million berries in the kingdom's treasury, but after going to the noble district, he found as much as 5 billion berries.
Originally, Charlotte had just thought there was too little and wanted to try his luck there.
But in the house of a count, they had found 100 million berries.
And this was just a count!
After finding so much money, Charlotte's greed flared up.
They robbed every noble household one by one.
They looted for a whole night, and there were still some people who managed to escape.
But in just one night, they had managed to loot treasures worth 5 billion berries.
Sure enough, money came the fastest from killing and looting!
"Boss, we've struck it rich!"
Looking at the treasures piled up on the deck, the pirates shouted excitedly.
"What a load of crap about getting rich. Half of this belongs to Rocks. The rest is ours."
Just thinking about Rocks taking half of his treasures made Charlotte grind his teeth in anger.
That's 2 billion berries!
Hearing Xia Luo speak through gritted teeth, all the pirates dared not say a word.
"Five million for each person. No one is allowed to take more!" Xia Luo said calmly as he saw the greed in everyone's eyes.
He wasn't the type to treat his subordinates shabbily. He wasn't like John was. John snatched all the treasures for himself, and he eventually died at the hands of his own crew. Although Xia Luo wasn't afraid, there was no need for such a thing to happen.
The remaining two billion was enough for him to last a year. At least as long as there was no urgent need for money, this two billion would be enough for him to spend for a year!
"Long live the boss!" Even though it was just five million, it was plenty for them. Once these guys got the money, they basically just drank and hit the red - light district. Five million was enough for them.
"Set sail back to Hachinos Island!" Xia Luo said.
"Yes! Captain!" Everyone responded.
The ship pulled away from the shore, leaving an island shrouded in smoke behind. The Colente Kingdom could be considered destroyed.
