It was the first national war since Keynes took the throne. He had to win beautifully to shock the surrounding countries.
This was also an opportunity for Keynes to show his strength.
To this day, the name Keynes remains in the age of bounty hunters and some battles between the Sabaody Archipelago and the Restoration.
In the eyes of pirates and ordinary countries, this was still great, but in the eyes of true higher-ups, they were nothing.
Only by showing absolute strength at one time could the surrounding nations and pirates of Carlo Empire be feared, and they would never dare to attack again.
["Ding, the Host triggered the mission of destroying the country."]
Suddenly, the electronic sound of the system was heard.
[“Detected that the Balque Kingdom invaded the Kingdom of Caro Kingdom. As a king, the Host cannot tolerate such an invasion.”]
["Mission, destroy the incoming enemy and destroy the Balque Kingdom completely!"]
[“Task reward: one top Devil Fruit, and the strength of 2,000 guard soldiers will increase by one level.”]
Only the first will be useful to Keynes for this mission reward.
The top Devil Fruits can cultivate powerful combat power, which cannot be measured with money.
As for the latter, it can only be said so-so.
In the New World, where national-level combat power was scattered, the number of troops was not very useful.
I can only save energy for Keynes when he starts a national war in the future. He had trained soldiers in the army just because of this.
In the future, if Keynes met the Four Emperors, even if he had 100,000 strong soldiers, he was nothing more than cannon fodder.
(In the original book, 100,000 fish-Man island soldiers were not easily defeated by the ten Straw Hat Pirates.)
…………
Two days later, Keynes returned to the sea of the Karo Kingdom.
Before entering the kingdom, Keynes patrolled the surrounding waters, and the Haki Observation spread, searching for suspicious ships.
summon!
A small black hole fell from the sky and crashed into a pirate ship that was riding the wind and waves with precision.
With an explosion, a huge fireball exploded in the sea.
The entire pirate ship was swallowed by the fireball and disappeared into ashes.
All the pirates were killed in an instant, with no bones left.
"I can only blame you for being so unlucky."
Keynes turned around and disappeared without a trace.
While patrolling the sea, Keynes found no trace of the battleship Balque Kingdom, but he found three unknown pirate ships.
At the same time, Keynes showed no mercy.
Rather than killing the wrong one, don't let it go!
Whether they would approach the Kingdom of Carlo Kingdom or not, they were the target of Keynes's assassination.
And just like that, three pirate ships were destroyed by Keynes!
Hundreds of pirates died mysteriously, and they don't even know who killed them. It was an unfair death.
……
The palaces of Emperor Carlo, Keynes and Burgess descended from the sky and landed in the Genting Sky Garden.
Enel, Cavendish, and Randall have been waiting for a long time.
“Welcome to the return of His Majesty the King.”
Randall half-kneeled in salute.
Keynes waved at Randall, then looked at Enel and Cavendish.
“how is the situation?”
“With the Gods here, what else can a group of ants do? Naturally, they all died. ”
Enel grinned.
Randall also nodded, "The Balk warship was only there once three days ago, and it hasn't appeared since the death of two thousand soldiers, so he should be afraid."
"Hmph, isn't that of course?"
With a rose in his hand, Cavendish said narcissistically, “With a handsome uncle guarding this kingdom, no matter how many weak soldiers come, they will die.”
“In other words, Balque Kingdom has retreated.”
Keynes smiled grimly. "Come if you want, go if you want, old man Ryan is too naive."
The royal name of Balque is Ryan.
The current King of Balk is Balk III, Ryan Hoffman, who is in his 40s and close to 50 this year.
Of course, this age is not too old in the world of One Piece.
"Burgess, you go to gather the guards, and the 10,000 Royal guard soldiers will soon depart and rush to the Balque Kingdom."
Keynes nonchalantly ordered, "This battle will completely destroy the Balque kingdom, and whoever holds the weapon will be decapitated, and no one will be left alive!"
A cold killing intent radiated from Keynes, causing the air temperature to drop drastically.
Burgess, Cavendish, and Enel shuddered involuntarily.
"I know I'll do it soon."
Burgess obeyed the order and came out of the Genting Sky Garden.
"Randall, Cavendish, you both live in this country and are responsible for protecting the security of Carlo Empire during the war."
"Yes, Your Majesty the King."
Randall and Cavendish respectfully took the lead.
"Enel, you're coming with me."
Keynes walked to the balcony and looked towards the distant Balque Kingdom, "This time, let the whole world know the power of the Karo Empire."
"You can kill as many as you want!"
“Ah, I understand.”
Enel grinned wildly, "I will tell man that the power of God is incomparable!"
Although Keynes took the position of god, Enel still considered himself a god.
He could not change this habit in his life.
Keynes didn't care either, as long as there was strength, it was nothing.
The king's order was issued, and the Caro Empire's 10,000 soldiers gathered at the fastest speed.
In the waters of the Kingdom's harbor, the Empire's ten warships of Carlo had long been ready.
A warship can hold a thousand soldiers.
Ten warships went to sea with 10,000 soldiers and headed for the Balque Kingdom.
