The Country of Peace.
It was a sunny and windy day. It was a rare good day.
The news of the incident on Moon Island had unexpectedly spread to this island.
This also meant that many civilians knew that Mitsuki Mitsuda and White Beard had teamed up to deal with the Richest Group.
As for the Richest Group, there were naturally people who knew about it.
Especially the Sun King and the Golden Emperor, they were like nightmares.
The reason why the Country of Peace was now torn apart was all because of the Richest Group.
The whole country was worried that the Richest Group would come to settle the score. Only Charcoal Snake was excited.
Mitsuki Mitsuda was dead, and so were the Crimson Scabbard Nine Heroes.
Even the Whitebeard Pirates that Kaido was afraid of couldn't jump around anymore.
No one in the Country of Peace would stop him from regaining the position of general.
His life had been bumpy.
Every time, before he could sit on the position of general, it would be taken back by Mitsuki Mitsuda. This time, he wanted to see who could stop him.
* Crack! *
All of a sudden, the cloudless sky began to darken.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and black clouds covered the entire sky.
"What's going on?"
"The sky turned dark all of a sudden!"
It was like a lunar eclipse without any warning.
People in the various cities of the Country of Peace raised their heads and looked at the sky that was becoming more and more abnormal.
Strong winds swept across the ground, and wisps of pale white lightning spread across the sky. No matter how one looked at it, something was wrong.
* Buzz! *
A scene that overturned the world appeared. The endless thunderclouds began to rotate and condense, and finally formed a graceful figure that stood tall. Her long hair was like a waterfall, and her hands were holding a thundercloud cloak. Her delicate face was faintly discernible, and she was full of majesty and holiness.
In the face of such a huge impact, most of the civilians of the Country of Peace collapsed.
"It's here."
"It's the Richest Group."
"It's over!"
In the rebuilt Flower City, Charcoal Snake and the Imperial Court Guards were pale.
Wasn't that huge and boundless thundercloud figure the Queen of Joy of the Richest Group?
Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, her general appearance was no different from the real person's photo in the news.
"Damn that Mitsuki Mitsuda."
"Damn it."
"He implicated the Country of Peace!"
"It's not easy to have a chance to become a general again."
Charcoal Snake was in despair.
His hope was shattered once again.
From the looks of it, the other party was planning to destroy the Country of Peace. Who could withstand this?
It was boundless, and one could not see the end of it. The thundercloud figure raised her slender hand and pressed it down on the ground without hesitation. Before it even reached the ground, there was already a pressure that came crashing down, causing houses to collapse one after another. Many civilians could not help but kneel on the ground.
Boom! Crack!
The densely packed lightning bolts spread down like a cluster of missiles, exploding in a frenzy.
The unlucky ones were directly struck and turned into charcoal. In the face of such a natural disaster, there was no chance of survival unless one was strong enough.
Some civilians screamed in despair.
Some civilians knelt and begged.
There were even commoners who cursed loudly.
But that couldn't stop the thundercloud hand that covered the entire City of Flowers from descending.
"Damn it, I don't want to die."
The charcoal snake was also paralyzed with fear. He did not want to die.
The faces of the Imperial Court members behind him were also pale. If they had known earlier, they would have left the Country of Peace and never come back.
Last time, they were originally prepared to leave, but they did not expect that the battle between the Golden Emperor and the Hundred Beast Kaido would not happen. Then, Mitsuki Mitsuda left the Country of Peace to save Mitsuki.
That was why they took the opportunity to make a comeback.
When they saw the news of the Whitebeard Pirates being completely annihilated, Mitsuki Mitsuda and the Crimson Scabbard Nine Heroes dying, they were extremely happy.
But now, extreme joy begets sorrow.
They were about to lose their lives.
Looking at Queen Joy's attitude, she was planning to completely destroy the Country of Peace. She did not even bother to show her true body.
"We still have a chance."
Charcoal Evening Cicada, who was next to her, broke out in cold sweat. Her ugly face, which was full of wrinkles, was determined.
She thought of a way.
If she succeeded, not only would she not be able to escape death, she might even be able to continue ruling the Country of Peace.
But the hope was very slim.
"What … What chance?"
Everyone looked at Charcoal Evening Cicada as if they had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. Their eyes were filled with the desire to survive.
"The only thing we can take out from the richest group is Seastone."
"Seastone?"
"Yes, the material that the outside world urgently needs."
"We can also build a weapons factory, just like the cooperation with the Beast Pirates."
"This is the only way."
Charcoal Evening Cicada calmed down. Her idea was very simple, and that was to sell the Country of Peace.
As long as the richest group paid attention to these resources, then they might be able to escape.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Charcoal Orochi was the first to react. He rolled and crawled in the corridor, looked up at the sky, and used the loudest voice in his life.
"Please wait a moment."
"The Country of Peace has Seastone and many mineral resources. We can build a weapons factory. The Country of Peace can also be attached to the richest group. Please don't destroy the Country of Peace. We will use our lives to redeem the sins of Mitsuki Mitsuda."
Regardless of whether the other party could hear him or not, Charcoal Orochi screamed in admiration.
His desire to survive was still full.
Rumble!
The thundercloud hand that covered the sky stopped, suspended in the air above the City of Flowers. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, full of the aura of death.
Charcoal Orochi, the Imperial Family, and the others did not dare to look up. Their hearts had jumped to their throats, and they kept swallowing to ease the fear and horror.
It was very sad, but also very normal.
In the face of death, not everyone could be indifferent.
Even ants cherished their lives, let alone humans.
The taste of waiting for death was not good. At this moment, Charcoal Orochi and the others felt like years until a pleasant fragrance wafted into their noses. At the same time, they could feel a figure appear in front of them.
"Charcoal Orochi."
A cold and emotionless voice rang out, causing Charcoal Orochi and the others to raise their heads shakily.
What was reflected in everyone's eyes was a human-shaped golden light. They could only vaguely see the silhouette of the graceful figure, and the golden light was surrounded by clouds and lightning. This appearance was no different from that of a god.
The suffocating pressure caused Charcoal Orochi and the others to lower their heads and hold their breaths after just a glance.
That queenly aura was too terrifying.
They could not bear it at all.
It was as if looking at it was blasphemy and disrespect.
Charcoal Orochi was lustful, but now he could not bring himself to be dirty. All he felt was fear.
"Yes … I'm Charcoal Orochi."
Charcoal Orochi lowered his head even more. His trembling reply was filled with pleading and flattery.
"From this moment onward, the Nation of Peace will be under the banner of the richest group, and will be shrouded in darkness for 20 years."
After saying this, Stussy soared into the sky. She stood under the thunderous sky and made a grabbing motion with her slender hand. The violent clouds started to spin like a vortex, and a ray of sunlight shone in the center, covering the entire Flower City.
The other cities and places in the Nation of Peace were plunged into darkness.
This scene was beautiful, but also cruel.
Because in the Nation of Peace, only the Flower City would have sunlight for the next 20 years, while the other places would lose sunlight and fall into an endless darkness.
It was too easy for Stussy to destroy an island or a country.
She only needed to let the dark clouds cover the land for a long time without rain or sunlight. Then, this island and country would gradually disappear in the river of time.
This time, the Nation of Peace was lucky to meet Stussy.
If it were Klokdal, Archino, Enel, and the others, the Nation of Peace would have probably disappeared already.
Stussy's thinking was completely different from Klokdal and the others.
In Stussy's eyes, since the Nation of Peace was still useful and could bring great benefits to the richest group, why destroy it?
Maximizing the benefits was the smart choice.
If it was anyone else in power, they would have made the same choice as Stussy.
Only idiots would choose to lose everything. Klokdal and the others were such people.
