New World, Atwal Sea, Grims Island.
As one of the largest islands in the Etwal Sea, Grims Island also ushered in the most lively time of the annual Flower Festival.
The sun sets in Xiluo and night falls completely.
The moment night falls on the entire Grims Island, countless lanterns flashing with various bright lights illuminate every corner of the island.
Countless girls wearing long skirts woven from various flowers began to parade on the streets.
Countless young people held various unique flower instruments and played beautiful music.
Fireworks continuously shot into the sky from the edge of the island, blooming into beautiful flowers.
The entire street was crowded with tourists from all over the world.
Ailan stood on a parade float, continuously singing various beautiful songs, while many beautiful young girls danced gracefully, accompanying Ailan on the float.
Countless people cheered like thunder.
On Grims Island, in the tallest castle palace on the coastal mountain, Rocks and Alice were sitting on the roof of the castle looking at the bustling and beautiful neighborhood.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Rocks leaned on the railing, drinking coffee and admiring the twinkling lanterns and fireworks everywhere on the island.
Alice pursed her lips, struggled for a while, and finally made up her mind.
She knelt on one knee and performed a salute to Rocks with great respect.
"Captain Rocks, I beg you to help me become the new queen of England!"
Rocks didn't seem surprised when he heard Alice's words.
"Help you become the new queen? What benefits can I get from that?"
Rocks did not directly agree or refuse.
"To show my sincerity, I am willing to lead the entire Kingdom of England to submit to you after I become queen, and I can also use all our Kingdom of England's Chamber of Commerce and banks as guarantors."
"I believe that with the entire Kingdom of England as a guarantee, your Chamber of Commerce and bank will gain the trust and support of the majority of the people on the sea."
Rocks nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, if there is a party with a long history, a reputation throughout the world, and a member of the World Government as the guarantor, it can indeed increase the visibility and credibility of the Baihua Chamber of Commerce and the bank.
"I agree to your request. However, I have a condition. After I help you become the Queen of England, I will send a cadre to be stationed in your kingdom."
"You can treat it as surveillance or threat. But you can rest assured that as long as you don't do anything out of line, we will not interfere in any of your country's internal affairs. One more thing, that is, I need 1% of your kingdom's annual net fiscal revenue."
... ... ...
After listening to Rocks' request for a long time, Alice finally nodded in agreement.
After getting Alice's response, Rocks asked someone to summon Erida.
After a while, Eredar arrived at the roof of the castle.
"Erida, I need you to help Miss Alice become the new Queen of England."
Erida looked at Rocks in surprise, then at Alice, totally confused as to what was going on.
Looking at the somewhat confused Erida, Rocks briefly explained the situation to him.
After listening to Rocks' explanation, Erida suddenly realized, but then became a little reluctant.
"Well, Boss Rocks, it's okay to help Princess Alice become the new queen, but can I not be stationed there?"
"Humph! Mr. Ereda, do you despise me?"
Alice put on a pitiful look, like a little girl who was abandoned by her lover, and looked at Erida with resentment.
“Fuck…!”
Looking at Erida's frustrated expression, Rocks suddenly wanted to laugh.
However, he concealed it well.
"Alright, Eredar, this is your mission. You should discuss the next plan."
Having said that, Rocks turned and left.
He doesn't want to be a light bulb here.
After leaving the rooftop, Rocks took out the Den Den Mushi, dialed one number after another, and slowly walked towards the meeting room.
An hour later, all the executives of the Rocks Pirates came to the conference room.
"Hehehe, Boss Rocks, tell me, what do you need us to do next!"
"Hahahaha, that's right, I can't wait any longer!"
“Yohoho, even though I am dead and only a skeleton is left, I will still try my best!”
"Haha, Captain Rocks, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"Hahaha! This time, I will definitely make a name for myself!"
"Ah~ what a hassle!"
"Humph! Visa! Be serious! We're in a meeting now!"
"Hahaha! Jin, you are always so serious and old-fashioned!"
“… … ..”
All of Rocks' companions looked at Rocks with excitement.
Even Jinbei, who had just joined, had his arms folded across his chest, waiting for Rocks' next words.
The corners of Rocks' mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
"Haha, it seems that everyone can't wait any longer. Well, I won't waste my words. My fellow brothers, the few months of recuperation are over. It's time to collect our spoils!"
"This Etwal Sea is our spoils of war! I need you to take it back into our pockets completely!"
"As long as it is an island in the Etwal Sea, no matter how big or small, we will take it back."
After Rocks finished speaking, there was a huge cheer of excitement in the conference room.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
After finally defeating the Golden Lion Pirates, they don't want to give their spoils to others.
"Hahaha! It's time to act, Rocks!"
"Hehehe! That's right! I can't hold it back any longer!"
“Hahaha? This time I’m going to let everyone on the sea know my name!”
Sasaki recalled the nightmare he had during the day and had made up his mind not to just stand by and watch no matter what.
"Hey, everyone, the first step in conquering the world is about to be achieved. Cheers to our glorious future!"
Rocks handed the wine that had been prepared long ago to everyone.
Everyone picked up their glasses and raised them high.
"Everyone, follow my footsteps closely. There is no rival ahead of us!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"That's right! There is absolutely no rival ahead of us!"
"cheers!"
The first ray of sunlight at dawn illuminates the sea.
The bustling and prosperous Hundred Flower Festival has finally become a thing of the past.
At this time, on Grims Island, ten huge pirate ships had prepared all the supplies, hoisted the sails, and slowly left the port.
"Hehehe! Everyone, let's have a competition this time to see who can capture more islands!"
"Set sail, my little ones! Let the waves of the entire Etwal Sea roll!"
"oh!!!!"
"Long live Boss Moria!"
