South China Sea, Sobel Kingdom.
A burly man with a trapezoidal white hat on his head, with scattered brown spots on it and two bear ears on it. He was wearing frameless glasses. He had black woolen curly hair and was serious. He was wearing a black coat with a crosshair pattern on the front. He had bear paw-like paw pads on his hands because of his abilities. He was wearing white trousers with brown spots on them. He was wearing brown boots. He was wearing brown gloves on his hands and holding a book. The man was sitting on the throne and watching quietly.
Just as he was watching carefully, a breeze blew past him.
The cloaked man stood beside him at some point.
"He refused, Bear."
"Ah, I can guess."
The bear didn't seem surprised at all when he heard what the dragon said.
"Also, Bear, the World Government has sent people here."
Having said that, Long sighed helplessly, his expression full of apology.
Xiong slowly closed the book in his hand.
"Don't be sorry, Dragon, this isn't your fault."
The bear slowly stood up and left the throne. He was 6.89 meters tall, and he looked so short when he looked at the dragon, which was only about three meters tall.
"For the success of the revolution, a mere throne is not a big deal."
"Okay, you can leave first, my guests are here."
Hearing this, Long sighed silently, turned into a breeze and disappeared into the hall.
Not long after Long left, a tall and thin man in a white suit, a white bowler hat, and a strange mask on his face, and a navy man in a burgundy suit and a vice admiral's cloak walked into the hall together.
The man with the strange mask looked at the tall bear, took out a document from his arms expressionlessly and threw it to him.
"King of the Sobel Kingdom, Bartholomew Bear, you have violated the laws of the World Government because you are too cruel and violent. Therefore, you have been deprived of the throne of the Sobel Kingdom and will be exiled to the sea. You will never be allowed to return to the Sobel Kingdom for the rest of your life."
"The throne of the Sobel Kingdom will be inherited by an outstanding person selected from another royal family."
"Do you have any comments?"
After finishing the order or judgment, the man with the strange mask stared at Bartholomew Bear and asked.
The bear looked down at them, silent.
"I have no objection. But I have only one request."
"Go ahead, the Five Elders said that as long as you obey orders, you can get whatever you want."
"My only request is that my people be treated well. They have finally been able to live a happy and peaceful life."
The masked man looked at Bartholomew Bear expressionlessly. He didn't expect that he would make such a request in the end.
"I understand. I will report this to the Five Elders. I believe they will agree to your request."
"Also, the Five Elders hope that you can abdicate as soon as possible and leave this country. The sooner the better."
After saying that, the masked man and the vice admiral left the palace together.
Their mission for this trip has been completed, and there is no need to waste time staying here.
After the two men left, the bear silently returned to his throne and gently stroked it.
"Long, can the future you talk about really come true?"
Xiong asked softly.
"Ah, believe me, we will be able to achieve that future."
The dragon's voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
In a corner of the hall, a dragon slowly emerged from the air.
“However, for that future, we need to find more like-minded partners to work hard together.”
Long looked at Xiong seriously, his tone extremely firm.
"I understand, Long. For that future, I will devote all my strength, even my life."
The dragon walked to the bear's side and stretched out his hand to clasp the bear's huge palm tightly.
"Welcome aboard, Bear."
Early the next morning, in front of the puzzled gazes of all his subjects, the bear announced his abdication, and then followed the dragon out of the Kingdom of Sobel.
On the day after Xiong announced his abdication, another member of the royal family became the new king of the Sobel Kingdom with the support of the World Government.
And, after he ascended the throne, he immediately told the world about the series of cruel atrocities committed by the previous king, Bartholomew the Bear.
With the instigation of the World Government, Bartholomew Kuma became a tyrant who was wanted by everyone, and the new king became a praised hero, a wise monarch who led all the subjects of the Sobel Kingdom to prosperity.
As for how much truth there is in these news, that depends on one's own opinion.
On the Grand Line, a huge warship with a giant dragon carved on its hull was sailing quickly on the sea.
This warship did not fly any flag and looked like just an ordinary merchant ship.
Long and Xiong were standing on the deck, reading the latest newspaper.
Next to them, there was a man who was equally tall, wearing flashy clothes, heavy makeup, and had a big afro, and was dancing with his hands.
"Haha! It's ridiculous that Little Bear-chan is called a tyrant by the world! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! Hahahaha!"
He is Dragon's first partner, the queen of the Makkapakka Kingdom and the Momoiro Kingdom on the Grand Line, Ambrio Ivankov.
At this moment, she was rolling on the deck, holding her belly and laughing. Tears and snot were all over the floor.
Long looked at the newspaper and gave a disdainful smile.
"Oh, this is just a common tactic of the navy. They wantonly shady things to ensure their domination of the world."
Throw the newspaper into the sea.
"Such a corrupt government is no longer qualified to continue to rule the world and lead all people to happiness."
The bear silently gazed at the sea in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, he must have felt very bad as he turned from a wise king into a tyrant hated by everyone overnight.
After a long silence, Xiong returned to his original taciturn demeanor.
"Where are we going?"
The dragon looked at the bear, whose expression had returned to normal.
"We are heading to the new world now. The island I discovered by accident, White Earth Island, Baldigo, is an island without any magnetic force at all. Without special methods, it will never be found. I plan to build our headquarters there."
"Baldigo? Sounds like a good place."
On the other hand, after leaving the Kingdom of Sobel, Rocks took Perona directly to the New World on a merchant ship belonging to the Rocks Pirates.
On the deck, Rocks, wearing casual beach pants, shirtless and a pair of sunglasses, was lying under a parasol, drinking juice and reading the latest newspaper.
"Pfft, hahahaha, those guys in the World Government are really good at confusing right and wrong. It really opens my eyes."
He casually threw the newspaper aside and covered the face of Perona, who was also wearing a white children's swimsuit and a pair of children's sunglasses.
"Bear, he is a pretty good fighter, but it's a pity that Dragon got there first."
"LOCKS YOU IDIOT!!!!"
