“Your Highness, you have saved us again. We are so grateful.”
Ogre swung his spear, not even glancing at the fallen pirate on the ground, and turned to the man holding his daughter, revealing a smile as bright as the sun.
"It's alright. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you."
"Your Highness Og..."
The man was momentarily stunned by Og's smile.
"As long as Prince Og is here, we'll be fine!"
"Yes, Prince Og is the strongest. Pirates are no match for him!"
"Your Highness Og!"
"Your Highness Og!"
People nearby were cheering.
Ogg was momentarily stunned as he looked at their genuine smiles.
Yes, with me here, nothing unexpected will happen in this country!
Pirates, unscrupulous merchants, criminals—as long as I'm here, no one will ever come near this country, known as the 'hunting ground'!
Krein Og has always believed this.
He is very strong, he is extremely strong.
He learned Haki and fighting techniques from the 'Guardian of the Kingdom' and surpassed him very early on.
He also saved an old pirate and learned that top-tier fighting style that allows him to fight without being able to penetrate anything.
He was already very strong; everyone thought so, and so did he.
He is a powerful figure who has emerged only once in a hundred years in the Kingdom of Krein. He will save this country, which has been used as a backyard by pirates for a hundred years!
...
Time and time again.
Every day, he engaged in the same battles, eliminating those who intruded and came to 'hunt'.
Time and time again.
Time and time again...
"my daughter!!"
When Og arrived, all he saw was the man weeping bitterly over his daughter's body.
"Your Highness Og..."
Upon seeing Og, the man cried out, "My daughter was killed by a pirate who suddenly appeared! By that one pirate!"
A pirate?
Og turned his gaze and saw a strong, imposing man carrying a dead pirate approaching. The man said in a deep voice, "Your Highness..."
“What’s going on, Barber?” Og asked.
“We were careless. While we were fighting off the pirates, this person sneaked in…” Barber lowered his head, feeling guilty.
The pirate was very thin, and he only had a small dagger hanging at his waist.
The man who was bent over and weeping was very strong; he could probably handle the pirate with one hand.
And what about all those people who had been gathered together? Why would a pirate kill someone right in front of them?
Why?
...
"Your Highness, pirates are here again! They...they killed my wife!"
...
"Your Highness, my father..."
...
"Your Highness Og..."
"Your Highness Og..."
"Your Highness Og..."
...
Like a nightmare, no matter how many pirates Krein Og killed or how many pirate crews he destroyed in the nearby waters.
Some will still slip through the net and wander onto the island, and then...
Do whatever you want under everyone's watchful eyes.
No one resisted...
Why?
...
“Barber, I want to recruit soldiers. The two of us alone are not enough to protect the country.”
"Your Highness, we cannot recruit any soldiers."
Barber said bitterly, "A long time ago, the Kingdom of Krein had no soldiers. No matter how high the pay was, the people were unwilling to enlist. They... were afraid of pirates."
"Why?" Eugene asked, puzzled.
"I don't know...maybe I'm just different."
Barber gave a bitter smile, then solemnly said to Oger, "Your Highness, the future of the nation rests on your shoulders!"
Why?
Why are people afraid of pirates...?
Why not conscript soldiers to protect the country? Is one person enough?
Pirates and those illegal merchants, aren't they also just people who would die if stabbed?
Why?
...
"Resist! Resist! Pirates will die from just one stab, like this!"
On the street, Ogre deliberately captured several live pirates, gathered the people, and in front of them, stabbed one of the pirates to death with a single shot.
"Look, he's dead! There's no need to be afraid of them at all. Just do what I did. They're made of flesh and blood too, and they'll die too!"
No matter what Og said, his people remained unresponsive, and some even felt sorry for him.
Even if he personally brought someone to execute the pirates, that person could do nothing but tremble and cry.
At this moment, the very virtues of 'kindness' and 'gentleness' that the Kingdom of Krein was most proud of were exposed as flaws.
Og is tired...
...
"Why not resist?"
Until that day, Oge could no longer hold back and asked an old man who had lost his children.
His situation was the same as that of the man before him: in full view of many people, a pirate suddenly broke in and robbed him of his belongings on the street, and then killed his children.
There were many people on this street when the pirates were killing people.
That pirate got away...
"What are you saying, Prince Og... Pirates, how can they resist?"
The old man, kneeling and staring at the corpses of his children, looked up, his eyes filled with numbness and incomprehension.
