Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Re-establishing a country on the ruins - this seemingly exciting thing is not easy.

Fortunately, the status quo of the Kingdom of Aden was not destroyed by war or natural disasters, but was jointly created by the fleeing old government and man-made virus weapons.

The problem of the virus has been resolved, and after negotiations, the world government has also recognized the legitimacy of the new government of the Kingdom of Aden.

Why should it be recognized by the world government?

Because that's the "rule".

As far as the current stage is concerned, whether it is the Four Seas Alliance, the World Government, or other forces in the world, they are all playing games under many "rules".

The first party to break the "rules" will be besieged by various forces "justified", which will make their own situation in the world greatly unfavorable.

Before the political game at the world level reaches the end of "war", most of the situations are contests at the level of "acting skills" and "bottom line control".

...

Through the broadcast, Hiruruk informed the people of this country that the world government continued to recognize the legal existence of the Kingdom of Aden, and said that the Universal Alliance would not participate in the establishment of the new Aden government of subjugation, and everything had to be done by themselves.

The Alliance of the Four Seas will also hold state-level talks with the nascent government in a normal diplomatic manner.

At first glance, such a solution seems to be a very irresponsible performance. After all, the current situation of the Kingdom of Aden is actually caused by the confrontation between the Four Seas Alliance and the World Government.

But there are also some politicians or discerning people who know that the Universal Alliance actually treats the Kingdom of Aden as a "country" by doing so.

If not, the Universal Alliance could take the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Aden and make it a subsidiary country of the Universal Alliance.

Neither the World Government nor the Kingdom of Aden itself can do anything about this outcome.

But the Four Seas Alliance did not do so.

They chose extremely formal diplomatic means, coupled with the acquiescence of the world government, the new government of the Kingdom of Aden was established in just three days.

Because of historical legacy and habits, etc., the Kingdom of Aden still adopts the king system.

The incumbent king is the Minister of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Aden—a fat uncle who was born as a commoner.

At the same time, he is also an "abandoned person".

Because of the infection of the crystal ghost virus, this fat uncle who was originally very kind and lovely, now has crystals all over his body, and his whole body has become burly and vicious.

But the smile on his face gave others a very sunny feeling, as if he was full of hope for the future.

...

King's Palace of Aden, Square.

Many workers are busy going back and forth, repairing the parts damaged by the battle.

Such a scene also happened in various parts of the Kingdom of Aden.

The crystal ghost virus has brought an unexpected increase in the physical fitness of the abandoned people, which has made the recovery progress of all parts of the country much faster.

As the current king of the Kingdom of Aden, Uncle Fat walked around the square with Ryan Rowan.

Luo Wen saw with his own eyes an unattractive mason who lifted up a damaged stone lion weighing several tons with both hands, and then gently put it aside.

"It's amazing!" Luo Wen couldn't help sighing, raising his eyebrows.

The fat uncle shook his head helplessly, "That guy likes to be brave too much, seeing how tired he is, his face is blushing and his neck is thick!"

In terms of status alone, both of them can be regarded as the rulers of their respective countries, so they can chat and laugh naturally.

But in fact, the fat uncle still respects Luo Wen.

After all, it was the man in front of him who saved the Kingdom of Aden, and even made the World Government recognize the legal existence of the Kingdom of Aden today!

The fat uncle thought for a while, then suddenly turned to Luo Wen, and asked, "How are those guys?"

"Those guys" - naturally refers to the initiators of the crystal ghost virus, that is, the Don Quixote family and Caesar Courant.

Rowan smiled and replied: "Of course, as a 'criminal who endangers the world', he was handed over to the navy, and finally he was imprisoned in the submarine prison and pushed into the city."

The fat uncle was stunned. After all, he was the former Minister of Agriculture, and he was not good at political confrontations at the world level, so he couldn't react for a while.

"Aren't they members of the world government? If they are handed over to the world government, won't the world government let them go?"

"Will not."

Luo Wen shook his head and explained: "When the hidden 'dark ones' surface, you must use the 'rules' on the surface to deal with them, otherwise something serious will happen."

The fat uncle thought about it for a while, then nodded with a vague understanding.

Luo Wen didn't try to teach the fat man a lot of truths, because some things had to be seen with his own eyes before he could get used to them.

This is a process that must be experienced to become the lord of a country.

Too greedy for shortcuts will only make him fall into the quagmire of mediocrity and incompetence.

"Speaking of which, the climate in Beihai is very humid."

Rowan laughed casually.

The fat uncle nodded helplessly, "Yes, but we native Beihai people have long been used to this!"

The two chatted with each other for a few more words, and the content was nothing more than the great sea route and the North Sea, Alabasta and the Kingdom of Aden.

While chatting, they walked and came to one side of the square.

There was originally a dense forest, but it was razed to the ground by the aftermath of Rowan's battle.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Luo Wen's domineering aura spread, and he sensed something special.

"You invited me here to show me this?"

Rowan pointed to the ground beneath their feet.

The fat uncle nodded, "It was discovered by accident yesterday when the workers were repairing the surrounding area."

He came to a corner of the ruins, stomped the ground with his feet, and found the place where the sound was hollow.

Then, the fat uncle inserted his fingers into the ground, touched a steel plate, and then slammed it upwards.

Swish!

The steel plate was lifted up, and a dark passage leading directly to the ground appeared in front of Luo Wen and the fat man.

"It's here."

The fat uncle completely lifted the steel plate, and then patted the dirt on his hands.

If the amorphous ghost virus gave the fat uncle a strength far beyond that of a human being, a steel plate of this weight would have to be opened by a machine.

Obviously, the builders here didn't want others to discover the existence of the passage so easily.

"Although the kingship has changed several times, the Kingdom of Aden is considered an 'ancient country'."

The fat uncle looked back at the palace under repair.

"The foundation of that palace is said to have a history of thousands of years!"

"Hahaha, that history is indeed very long."

Luo Wen looked down into the tunnel, "So, this tunnel has a history of thousands of years?"

The fat uncle nodded, "I read a little description in the ancient books of the Kingdom of Aden, and the book said—"

"The relics of the old days are buried deep in the ground, but they will eventually come to light, because sooner or later those things will come back."

"On that day, I hope those 'relics' will not become your last resort."

The fat uncle scratched his head when he said this, "But Mr. Luo Wen, you know the things in the ancient books. They talk in a cloud and don't understand, so no one cares."

Luo Wen's eyes moved slightly, and he continued: "But now, the appearance of this passage proves that the words in the ancient books are not groundless."

The fat uncle nodded and said, "Yes."

Luo Wen asked again: "Have you sent people down?"

"Already went down."

The fat uncle ordered someone to bring a torch, and stretched out his hand to signal Luo Wen to go with him.

"It's safe down here, and you don't have to worry about the air, it's just the things inside...how should I put it?"

The fat uncle pondered over his vocabulary, and finally described: "It's very strange."

Luo Wen followed the fat man all the way, and finally came to the bottom of the passage.

Because of the domineering look, Luo Wen took a step ahead of the lights and sight, and picked up the lottery to perceive the surrounding situation.

Even if it was him, he couldn't help but froze there.

The fat uncle had expected this situation a long time ago, and lit the surrounding lampstands with a torch.

A huge underground warehouse suddenly appeared in front of the two of them!

There are countless standard weapons and equipment placed in it.

Cold weapons, armor, artillery, ammunition...

Everything!

"As you can see—"

The fat uncle introduced: "This is a weapon arsenal."
