The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
The crowd gradually gathered at the entrance of the enormous palace.
This palace wasn't as magnificent as Kuro had imagined.
On the contrary, it was quite dilapidated, with many places clearly showing that it had not been repaired for a long time.
“Your Majesty Ogre… no, Ogre the bastard’s palace is so dilapidated? Unbelievable.”
A person in the crowd muttered to himself.
They haven't been near the palace for five years.
Apart from Krein Og's order to keep everyone away, no one dared to approach this terrifying place.
"That bastard only cares about making fun of us, he doesn't even bother to fix his own house!" someone nearby shouted angrily.
"Never mind all that, we're here to overthrow him!"
"Yes, overthrow him!"
"Sag, come here!"
"Yes, Sag, you led us, and only you are qualified!"
Everyone looked at Saga.
The boy at the head of the crowd took a deep breath, looked at the tightly closed palace gates, and shouted, "Break them open! Charge in and overthrow Krein Og!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dick, who was standing next to him, suddenly threw his big gun.
Boom!!
The door was blasted open by this thunderous blow, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The scene inside the palace was revealed.
It's very narrow, so narrow that anyone outside can see it at a glance.
Almost at the very end of the gate, a thick wall blocked the entire massive palace. At the front of the wall stood a dilapidated throne, where a handsome blond man leaned against it, his arm supporting his chin, his eyes coldly looking down at the outside world. The spear that had shattered the gate lay right at his feet.
Upon seeing this person, everyone held their breath.
Krein Og!
The King of the Kingdom of Krein, and also their once beloved prince!
“Ogg…”
Dick's expression was complicated, and his mind was racing.
...
"Hey kid, what are you doing out to sea? This is the Spiral Sea. Ordinary ships that enter here will only be swallowed by the whirlpool. Anyway, thank you for saving me. It's a pity I lost a leg."
"I want to save my country!"
The blond boy's face was resolute. "Therefore, I will set sail to find power!"
"Huh? Save the country? You mean the Kingdom of Krein? Is there any hope for that country?"
"There will definitely be hope! There will definitely be a way!"
The blond boy said, "No matter the cost, I will save it!"
"Haha, what an ambitious young man! Well then, since you saved me, I'll teach you marksmanship. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm quite skilled with a gun."
...
"Oh! You're actually a prince! That's amazing! The one who saved me is a prince? Hey, Your Highness, I've lost my leg, so I can't be a pirate anymore. How about I open a tavern here? If you're a prince, you'll definitely patronize my business in the future, right?"
"Haha, Ogre, you learn very quickly, you have great talent. Have you been trained before? Then you will be able to graduate in a while and protect your country."
...
"Ogg, you took down another wave of pirates today! Keep it up, you can definitely do it. I'm counting on you to carry on my gun skills."
...
"What, Ogre? What happened? You're not coming anymore? What happened, Ogre!"
...
Dick's last memory was of that blond boy, whose image was once one of unwavering determination and cheerfulness, but which later turned into a cold and indifferent figure and disappeared.
"Oh? So many people, what are you doing in my palace? I seem to have given an order that commoners are not allowed to approach my palace."
Krein Ogg looked at the surging crowd gathered at the entrance, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. "Or are you planning a rebellion?"
"Shut up, Krein Og!"
Sag pointed his flintlock pistol at him and shouted, "Your tyrannical reign is over!!"
"oh?"
Krein Og glanced at Sag, a subtle flicker of emotion in his eyes. "On what grounds? You lowly commoners? You think you can rebel against my rule? Just because you're numerous doesn't make you so powerful."
“Shut up, Ogre! You evil man! We shouldn’t have stood by and watched you kill His Majesty Krein Savis five years ago!” a citizen shouted.
"Savis?"
Ogg tapped his head lightly with his fingers, closed his eyes, and seemed to be recalling this person.
...
Deep within the palace, a blond man stabbed a kind-looking old king in the chest with a knife. The king's head slumped over his shoulder, tears soaking his clothes.
"Father, forgive me."
"Go do what you want to do..."
Blood trickled from the corner of the old king's mouth. With a trembling smile, he reached out and touched the blond man's head. "It's just that you've suffered."
...
"Oh, that indecisive old fool."
Og opened his eyes and said coldly, "If he had given me the throne earlier, I wouldn't have killed him."
“And Princess Winnie, she’s a kind person. If she were king, we wouldn’t be like this!” another citizen shouted.
...
"Ogg, you're a gentle child..."
A woman with wavy blonde hair grabbed the hand of a blond man with tears streaming down his face and plunged the knife in her hand into her own heart.
"If you're going to do it, then be determined and see it through to the end."
She smiled.
...
"Oh, that woman who only knows how to wear a fake smile..."
Oughun said indifferently, "It's too much of a mood killer. Killing it would make me feel better."
