“That’s a lot of money.”
"And countless gold and jewels."
In the deep underground pit, Mori took the lead and rushed to the front, followed by a group of revolutionary soldiers. They were all carrying heavy boxes, with indescribable excitement on their faces.
"Captain Mori, do all these treasures belong to us?" someone asked while running.
But Mori's answer made everyone feel disappointed again: "Of course it doesn't belong to us. This is all the money of the common people in the Taro Kingdom. They paid this money to the royal family as taxes, and the royal family used this money to support the army. Now that we have taken this money, of course we have to return it to them."
"Give it back to them?"
Although everyone thinks that what Mori said makes sense, how can this be repaid
A big question mark popped up on my forehead.
Then, Mori replied, "Take the box and follow me to the land. We will scatter the seeds as we run."
"Spreading while running?"
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this. So much treasure, are they going to scatter it in the street
How many people would that attract to pick them up
Doubts immediately filled everyone's mind.
The next second, Mori suddenly stopped and stopped them, saying, "We are here. All you need to do is follow my instructions..."
As he spoke, he gestured for everyone to come forward, and then began to describe the action plan that Vivian had told him before landing on the island.
...
Taro Kingdom, Main Street.
It seemed that because the explosion in the park was too harsh, the streets that were once busy with traffic had long since become deserted.
At the same time, a white eye floated through the air and then changed back into a human form. It was undoubtedly Smoker with two cigars in his mouth.
Not only that, on every wisp of white smoke floating around him, there was a huge wooden box hanging, and as he moved forward, gold coins were scattered out in a very regular manner.
bite!
bite!
Ding Dong!
bite!
"Huh?"
The residents who heard the noise all poked their heads out of the window out of curiosity, and when they saw the gold coins scattered on the ground, everyone lost their patience.
About ten seconds later, a middle-aged woman, itching to find the money, pushed open the door of her house and carefully picked it up.
Everyone stared at her until they saw with their own eyes that the woman put the money into her pocket and nothing unusual happened. Only then did they grope their way out of the room together.
One, two...
After putting several gold coins into their pockets, people looked along the road and saw the fist-sized gold nuggets dropped on the ground. Everyone rushed over like crazy.
...
The other side.
In the west of Taro Kingdom, the same thing was happening on every street.
This time, the navy officer leading the team was none other than the dashing captain of the Navy Headquarters, Tashigi.
He was holding a megaphone, throwing money and shouting to the local residents in a gentle voice: "Dear citizens, this is the tax you paid before! On behalf of the navy under the new government, I will now return all the money and property to you!"
"A new government?"
"Navy?"
Hearing this, the civilians of the Taro Kingdom who were struggling to pick up money all subconsciously froze in place, and the image of Vivian in the live broadcast and the news began to emerge in their minds.
It has to be said that through magazine and news reports in recent years, plus the live broadcast of Vivian and Luffy destroying the Celestial Dragons' headquarters a few months ago, at this moment, whenever the words navy or government are mentioned, everyone will subconsciously think of Vivian, which shows how deeply she is in the hearts of the people.
"Is it the navy of the new government that is here to give us money?"
"Could this be a trick?" someone whispered worriedly.
However, many people explained, "They are from the new government. The new government is now ruled by Vivian. Thunder Swordsman is a hero who always cares about the people. He will never do anything to hurt us."
This is absolute trust.
Trust in the Thunder Swordsman Vivian.
If the royal nobles of various countries were very disgusted with Vivian's rule, then the common people of their countries were extremely eager to become members of the new government and be governed by Vivian.
No common people would reject a just man who advocates equality for all as their ruler.
Having been exploited and bullied by the aristocracy for many years, the people have always dreamed of being able to stand out and escape from their predicament one day, but...
Born into poverty and with a low status, what other ways are there for them to turn the tide except to become pirates
The untouchables will be untouchables all their lives, from generation to generation.
Wang Gui will be Wang Gui all his life, and his descendants will be Wang Gui forever.
This is the unfairness of this world.
Ordinary people will never see the hope of making a name for themselves. Even pirates can be abducted and sold into slavery, let alone people like them who are powerless and cannot even tie a chicken
I live in fear every day, behaving cautiously, fearing that one day I will bring disaster upon myself.
They have had enough of days like this.
Therefore, now, when seeing the navy, many people became excited, the fire of hope hidden deep in their hearts was rekindled, and then they raised their arms and shouted: "Long live the new government!
”
"Long live the Navy!
”
The shouts filled the streets of the Taro Kingdom.
However, the revolutionary army troops were unhappy when they heard this.
What's the meaning
You only shout "Long live the navy" and not "Long live the revolutionary army", right
We are all under the new government, so why should we get special treatment
The members of the Revolutionary Army who were throwing money around also started shouting through the loudspeaker: "We are under the order of Thunder Sword Master Vivian and on behalf of the Revolutionary Army under the new government, we are now returning all the money to the civilians!"
After that, a few members of the revolutionary army even pretended to be civilians and shouted the slogan "Long live the revolutionary army" in order to inspire the people around them to join in, which made some naval soldiers passing by stunned.
However, no matter how competitive they were, they still had to complete the tasks Vivian assigned to them conscientiously.
Seeing that people from every household had walked out of their homes and joined the "money-picking army", the Revolutionary Army and the Navy also joined hands to cooperate with each other and provided protection on the roofs of the streets to prevent the Taro Kingdom's guards from coming to stop them.
At the same time, on the other side.
Buzz!
The domineering color ripples spread invisibly in the air.
Vivian, walking on the moon steps and hovering above the center of the town, looked down at the armored soldiers sleeping like babies under his feet. He also held a cigar in his mouth and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
