I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

42. Just like Naruto and Sasuke losing Kotoamatsukami and Sakura [Happy New Year]

The five-day voyage passed in the blink of an eye, and Broly's ship passed by another new island.

This island is not a member state of the World Government, but its area and population far exceed those of Baterila Island. This makes it the perfect target for pirates to plunder. With so many people and no navy protection, it's a real fat sheep.

But today, a warship bearing naval markings is docked at the pier.

It's obvious what they're here for.

Tiger immediately bowed to Broly and asked, "Lord Broly, I would like to go and take a look."

Broly didn't even lift his eyelids. "I already told you, I'm not your captain. You don't need to ask me what you want to do."

Broly has decided not to work with Tiger anymore.

Once he arrived in the Kingdom of Sorbe, there was nothing more for him to do.

In any case, losing Tiger is the same loss to him as losing Kotoamatsukami, losing Satoshi, or losing Pan Jinlian.

Tiger quickly disembarked with a complicated expression. Although it was a good thing that Broly didn't stop him, it also proved that he didn't treat him as a subordinate.

Tiger was gone for more than two hours.

On the deck, Rouge was taking medicine, but it wasn't the medicine she had taken to delay her pregnancy; it was medicine for recovery.

Now that her secret has been exposed, there's no need to prolong her pregnancy any longer.

Just then, Tiger returned, and Rouge went to greet him.

Just as he was about to ask about the situation on the island, he saw Tiger's face turn frighteningly gloomy. He strode over to the three members of the Gringu group who were tied to the ship's mast and punched Satan, who was on the far left, hard in the face.

"Bang!"

The dull thud of fists colliding with flesh rang out, but for the Celestial Dragons who possessed immortality, Tiger's strength was so weak that it didn't even cause them any harm, let alone pain.

"Mr. Tiger!" Rouge was startled by this sudden action and quickly stepped forward, grabbing his arm with worried eyes.

Tiger seemed not to hear him, continuing to throw punch after punch until his arms ached and he was panting heavily. He then abruptly stopped, his chest heaving violently and veins bulging on his forehead.

Seeing his expression, everyone knew what had happened, but apart from Tiger and Rouge, no one on the ship cared.

Why...?

Tiger stared intently at Grin and the other two. "Why?! That Im guy already knows the Pirate King's bloodline is on this ship... Damn it! How many more innocent people is she going to kill?!"

"idiot."

A sneer came from the side. Tesoro leaned against the ship's railing, his tone full of disdain. "If Im really orders a halt to the capture, do you think the Navy and her entourage will not ask why? They'll definitely ask if Roger's offspring have been found. What are you expecting her to say then? 'The person is on Broly's ship, but I dare not send troops to seize him'?"

He paused, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "You've been in Mary Geoise longer than me, and you still haven't seen through those people's true colors? The purpose of capturing those women and children is no longer to trace the Pirate King's bloodline, but merely to save the World Government's pathetic face."

"How could this be...?"

Rouge covered her mouth and took a half-step back in disbelief.

She had heard Roger mention the darkness of the World Government, but she never imagined they could be so despicable.

Is it really worth letting so many pregnant women and children die in vain just to save face?

Tiger clenched his fists tightly, blood dripping from between his fingers, his voice filled with despair and resentment: "This world... is rotten to the core!"

Broly's ship set sail again, heading towards its intended destination, the Kingdom of Sorbe.

Tiger and Rouge kept their heads down and remained silent, seemingly out of place with the atmosphere on the ship.

Meanwhile, the three members of the Green Gu group on the mast were in complete turmoil.

The closer they get to the Kingdom of Sorbe, the closer they are to the nightmare of "turning into a woman named Artemisia".

They even secretly prayed that they would rather remain men and suffer humiliation than be turned into women by that hormone fruit and then...

As soon as the ship docked, Broli disembarked first, and Tezzolo, who was beside him, shouted to the others behind him, "Everyone, go find that Ivankov."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening cannon blast suddenly came from the direction of the city ahead.

"Boom—!"

The roar of artillery fire rose and fell, and soon a group of ragged, emaciated refugees came running towards the dock, crying and shouting.

Seeing this, Tezzolo immediately stepped forward and stopped a refugee who was stumbling and running, demanding sharply, "Hey! What happened?!"

"I...I..." The refugee was so frightened by his fierce appearance that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Tesoro's patience vanished instantly, and he impatiently shook him off.

Just as the refugee was about to fall to the ground, Tiger, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and reached out to catch him.

Lu Jiu quickly walked to a female refugee holding a child and asked gently, "Miss, could you please tell me what's going on in the city?"

With Rouge's comforting words, the female refugee choked back tears as she recounted the whole story.

It turns out that this year, the World Government sent its navy to collect the celestial gold, but suddenly increased the amount by a full 50%.

King Becquerel of the Kingdom of Sorbe was heartbroken over the huge sum of money and came up with an absurd and terrible idea—to cut the territory in half, leaving only half of the residents as "official citizens," while the other half would either be driven out of the city or directly reduced to slavery.

After all, the amount of land tax payable is determined based on the land area.

Large countries like Alabasta would naturally have to pay a large sum of money.

In tiny places like Dressrosa, the amount paid is pitifully small.

Upon hearing this, Broly paused slightly.

He remembered that this was supposed to happen in a few years, so why did it happen so early?

However, when he heard about the king's astonishing wisdom, Broly couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

There are actually people who actively reduce their own territory?

He was genuinely curious about the thought processes of the rulers in the One Piece world.

Aren't the Five Elders the same?

In the early stages, he kept posing and showing off in the office, ignoring all the commotion outside.

When Wang Luffy evolved into Wang Nika, they all started yelling and screaming like they had hyperthyroidism.
