Astya is located in the New World. Its geographical location is on the front line, on the other side of the World Government’s control. Its location is the center of Blackbeard and Akagami (Red Hair) forces.

In the past, this was Whitebeard’s territory. When Whitebeard was still here, the three countries would often use force, but no one could do anything to each other. When Whitebeard was gone, they should have done the same, especially the Duchy of Semat and the Duchy of Felton. During this time, one of the old kings died and the other was a very powerful noble. It was a time of turmoil. If they did not hang the flag of Blackbeard, the Duchy of Faa would have directly attacked.

However, the situation is even more chaotic now. Red Hair, who is also one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), has also invaded here and is dealing with the Duchy of Felton. How can the Kingdom of Faya survive this? Felton will definitely be conquered by Red Hair and no one can resist Yonkō (Four Emperors). At that time, his northwest is Blackbeard and his northeast is Red Hair. The lonely Kingdom of Faya is the weakest.

However, it was not that he did not know how to find a backer, so he directly went to the World Government.

The Kingdom of Faya, in the south of Astya, occupies the widest area of Astya, with a total of four cities and many villages and towns under its banner. Kuro arrived on the Golden Lion at this time, one of the two port cities of the Duchy of Faya, Amdan.

The huge golden ship slowly approached the port and stopped in front of the shocked eyes of others near the port.

The ship was on its side, extending down the stairs. Kuro, wearing a cloak, slowly descended with Marine.

There was a port nearby, but there was a street in front of them. There was a railway on the street, and in front of the railway were tall buildings. There were carriages and horses everywhere.

Kuro stared here and said, “This place is not bad…”

This place, without the medieval-like buildings, looks a little like modern times.

“Yes, Mr. Kuro.”

At the side, Crowe said, “We can go directly to the capital ‘Faya’ through this railway and find their king.”

Of the four cities in the Duchy of Faa, there are two port cities. They landed in one of them and the other two are inland cities. If they want to go there, they can only do it by means of transportation or on foot.

Kuro nodded and said, “The technology level is not bad. Take a group of people with me and leave the rest here.”

“You are Marines?!”

However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the side. Kuro looked sideways and saw a man in his forties walking in their direction. This person was wearing rough linen clothes and a curtain that seemed to have not been washed for a long time as a cloak. He was wearing an iron crown and there was a western sword and a flintlock hanging on his waist. His leather boots stepped closer to the port.

As he approached, the people nearby spontaneously gathered behind him, their eyes filled with kindness and respect.

The man came up to Kuro and Kuro realized that he was not short, more than two meters tall. He looked Kuro up and down and said, “I am the Emperor of Astya, Paretel Joshua. I issue an edict as the Emperor. Astya does not need any foreign forces to enter, whether Marine or Pirates, we do not need them. This is Astya’s own war. Stand down, Marine, go back to your place!”

‘Farrettel?’

Kuro was stunned. He looked at him and said, “You are that ‘Emperor’? You are quite pretentious.”

“Of course, I am the emperor of Astya!” Joshua raised his head high and said arrogantly, “Now the emperor doesn’t want you to stay here. Leave and tell the World Government that we don’t need to and will not be a member of the World Government.”

As soon as these words came out, the people at the back began to riot.

“A member of the World Government? I’ve never heard of such a thing!”

“Me neither. Aren’t these Marines here for supplies?”

“Wait, why do we have to become a member of the World Government? It wasn’t easy for us to leave Whitebeard, we don’t want to be restrained by anyone.”

Kuro raised his eyebrows as he watched this scene, then looked at Faretel and asked curiously, “How did you know? There should be no news.”

Joshua pointed to his forehead and said arrogantly, “Of course it’s with my brain. As the emperor of Astya, I naturally have Astya’s full consideration. Akagami (Red Hair) is attacking the Duchy of Felton. The Semtex is Blackbeard’s territory. Once Akagami (Red Hair) attacks Felton, the Duchy of Faya without any background will become their target. In Astya, it will be easy for two countries to fight against one country.”

“So it is normal for the Duchy of Faya to look for shelter. The Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are far away from here, and the World Government is very close to here, so the Duchy of Faya will naturally choose the World Government. Your coming is a signal.”

This man…

His head is quite smart.

“That’s true, but aren’t you afraid that after we leave, the Duchy of Faa naturally can’t resist the attack of Shanks and Tiki?” Kuro asked with interest.

“That’s what I want to say!”

Joshua said, “Asteria belongs to the people of Astya. We don’t accept any foreign forces. Maybe a moment of violence can make the nobles submit, but we will never. We have always remembered the glory of the Astya Kingdom! I have issued an order to the kings of the Three Kingdoms to join forces with the soldiers of the Duchy of Faya. First, they will defeat Red Hair and then pull out the power of Blackbeard. The three duchies will unite and become the new Astya!”

“Hiss…”

Kuro sucked in a breath of cold air. There was something wrong with this person’s mind. It was not too evil, but too righteous.

It was rare to meet such a righteous person in the sea.

This kind of thing is obviously impossible.

A single order was enough to make him do as he was told, and he even had to give up his power. Why? Because he was too arrogant?

Even Marines can’t do this. World Government’s orders are sometimes obeyed on the surface but disobeyed on the inside. Sakasugi’s orders are not 100% executed. This is a very traditional superior and subordinate, not to mention kingdoms and duchies.

“Good idea.”

Kuro nodded. “If you can do it, I will leave without saying anything, but you are not a real emperor. I heard that you have been an emperor for so many years and you have not developed your own power. It should not be…”

He looked Joshua up and down and said, “You don’t look weak.”

His Kenbonshoku (Observation) captured Joshua’s life force at a glance. Compared to the people around him, his life force is like the moon in the sky and the fireflies on the ground.

This guy’s strength is not inferior to Rudolph.

He is a good man. With this kind of strength, it is too easy to pull up a group of people. He has already called himself the Emperor, but he still did not do this, which is surprising.

Being sized up by Kuro, Joshua paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “The people of Astya are all compatriots, there is no need to be violent.”

“Well said!”

Suddenly, another voice came from the outside.

Hearing this voice, Kuro raised his eyebrows, bared his teeth and looked over.

In front of the city, a group of people slowly advanced towards here. Although their speed was very slow, their momentum would become stronger as they approached.

A breeze blew past, blowing the red hair of the leader. He walked to a position and stood there, smiling.

“I like you a lot, Paretel Joshua. Do you want to be my partner?”
