On the whole, there is not much change, but its political system is a provocation or threat to the old aristocracy.
This is absolutely intolerable for the world government.
"rest assured."
"World peace comes from civilians."
"Not nobles."
Jiang Liu smiled faintly.
Chapter 229 Be King from Today
"King Riku is already waiting for you."
At this moment, the door opened, and Crocodile stood at the door and said in a deep voice.
"Then, sister, I'll go meet this King Riku first."
Jiang Liu said with a smile.
He strode out the door, Freya followed closely.
"Are you ready?"
Walking in the aisle covered with luxurious carpets, the smile on Jiang Liu's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice.
Dressrosa's government affairs and orders in recent days are all correct, but Jiang Liu has not yet taken office in the future.
For the world, for the civilians of a country, this position has official certification, or requires a strong degree of recognition.
Otherwise, it is false right.
Doflamingo relies on power and suppression to rule his country and lay the foundation of his rule. Obviously, Jiang Liu couldn't do that.
What he wants to do is to make the world a better place and let the people live a happy life from the root.
"It's all in place, and your legal status has been recognized by the people of the whole country."
Freya quickly replied.
She never dreamed that after coming out of the war on the top, she, the officer, would transform into a king.
This is simply outrageous and subverts people's cognition.
Not a pirate, not a revolutionary army, but a king directly.
What's more surprising is that the officer's Wang Qiang seems to be doing pretty well. At the very least, on the streets of Dressrosa today, there are already many people who have begun to sing praises to the incoming new king.
"Those reporters, are there any other arrangements in place?"
Jiang Liu lowered his voice and asked again.
"Don't worry, they are all our people. The atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony is guaranteed to be lively, and our people are also guarding around the venue."
Crocodile laughed.
Of course he knew what Jiang Liu was talking about. If he wanted to take office, he would naturally need some people to sing his praises and say something nice. As the saying goes, even among the spectators, there must be people who eat melons, and there must be people who make noise, and there must be support!
"It's time for you to change your clothes too, you are all people of status now."
"It's not a pirate anymore!"
Jiang Liu said out loud.
"Hahahaha, my clothes are ready, but it's a bit awkward to wear, just wait until the meeting starts to change!"
Crocodile laughed.
After working as a pirate all his life, he never thought that he would be an official one day. Yes, Jiang Liu gave him the title of General Sand, responsible for commanding the Kingdom's army.
As the two walked, an old man with fluffy blond hair and leather boots walked over in blue military uniform.
"Jie ha ha ha ha, Jiang Liu, how about this old man's attire?"
"From today onwards, I'm the Marshal of the Air Force!"
Golden Lion Shiji laughed and said.
"Then congratulations to Marshal Shiji!"
Jiang Liu grinned.
If you want to control a country, you must first control military power. In Dressrosa today, all the generals are his own.
With their strength, it is naturally easy to take charge of a country.
Although compared with the navy, even the Four Emperors' military strength is still inferior, but there must be a framework first.
"Heh heh heh, Uncle Jiang Liu, your speed is a bit slow!"
"That old man, King Liku, has been waiting for you for a long time."
"The ministers, the remaining nobles, and the reporters are all very anxious."
Doflamingo came over with a neat professional attire and a smile.
He is now a diplomat of Dressrosa, responsible for diplomatic work, and also responsible for the planning and control of the underground dark forces.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Liu smiled faintly.
After a while, everyone came to a spacious venue.
There are people coming and going here, including middle-aged and old people, as well as young people, all with curiosity and awe on their faces at the moment.
They know very well what day it is today, when the new king ascends the throne, Dressrosa will completely change the old system and become a brand new country that is separated from the world.
"coming!"
"The new king has arrived!"
"That's the strongest man in the world, Jiang Liu who defeated White Beard in the top battle!"
"No one expected that the new king would have such strong political means!"
"The **** who gives hope."
"The executioner in the eyes of the nobles."
In the venue, when they saw the group of people in formal attire, everyone's eyes lit up, and there was a lot of discussion.
For Jiang Liu, many people are in awe and curiosity, but at the same time they feel admiration. He wiped away the cruelty and ruthlessness of Doflamingo's reign, with decisive means, benevolence and justice go hand in hand with iron and blood, making countless nobles terrified, but at the same time making commoners excited.
Although he has not yet taken office, his decrees have already begun.
From the overhaul of schools, the expansion of the army, to the reduction of taxes, the establishment of military academies, etc., are all decrees that benefit civilians.
It can be said that even though Jiang Liu has not yet become king, in the eyes of many people, he is already the king of Dressrosa.
King Liku had a complex expression at this time, but finally he smiled.
Although he lost his throne, there was really nothing he could do about this Jiang Liu, and he even had a touch of admiration for the other party in his heart.
"You finally came!"
When Jiang Liu stood in front of him, King Liku sighed.
"Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Liu smiled and shook hands with King Liku: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Then, he faced everyone.
"Today is a very important day for everyone in Dressrosa, whether it is you or me."
"I believe everyone knows the meaning of today."
As soon as Jiang Liu spoke, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the flashing lights kept flashing. Someone's eyes were excited, fists clenched, looking here.
"That's right, my next general will take over the positions of King Riku and Doflamingo."
"In the future, everything about Dressrosa will also be closely related to me."
This passage caused many people's eyes to twinkle. In the crowd, some nobles lost their souls, some ministers were elated, and some cheered loudly.
"Then, everyone, let the succession ceremony begin!"
"Don't waste time."
King Riku said aloud.
Jiang Liu smiled and stepped onto the stage under King Liku's push and push, and he was about to say a few more words.
Not far away, the burly, smiling Cyrus, who was carrying a big sword and looked at this scene, looked down at his intact legs.
"If it was him, Dressrosa should be even better!"
He vaguely remembered what this man said when he first met him.
"Is Dressrosa hopeless? How?"
"I'm here!"
"It's going to get better here."
Afterwards, Jiang Liu bowed his head and was crowned by King Liku. There was applause from the audience, some people cheered and booed loudly, and all kinds of fireworks shook the sky.
Jiang Liu holds a scepter, wears a crown, and sits on the king's chair with a smile.
"Crack!"
This scene was photographed by reporters and sent to all over the world.
Chapter 230 Reporter Questions and Answers
The throne succession ceremony is actually not cumbersome and troublesome, but it is a bit time-consuming.
Jiang Liu has to deal with reporters and personnel from all over the world, including those from Dressrosa, other countries, and even the world government.
On specific occasions, facing these people, there is naturally no hostility. He was even keenly aware that there was a navy in the arena.
Although he was not wearing a military uniform, he could clearly smell the smell on his body. He was too familiar with the navy.
But Jiang Liu didn't care. He didn't intend to hide this kind of thing, and there was no way to hide it.
"May I ask how Your Majesty plans to manage this country next."
"I heard that you declared hostility to the world government during the war a month ago, so does that mean that Dressrosa's future relationship with the world will be hostile?"
"We have noticed recently that in Dressrosa, the education opportunities and level of common people seem to be higher than those in other regions. Is this more unfair to the nobles?"
"The degree to which you have suppressed the nobles in recent days seems to be a bit ruthless and reckless. Does this mean that you are fighting against the middle and upper classes of the entire society?"
"..."
Questions, whether peaceful or sharp, were asked by the reporters, and the expressions of the ministers behind Jiang Liu and beside him changed slightly.
This ceremony of succession to the throne, in a small way, is aimed at Dressrosa, but in a big way, it will attract the attention of the world, especially the attention of some big figures.
It can be said that the significance is extraordinary, and these questions are obviously not easy to answer. In a sense, it can be regarded as some calm temptations.
"There are too many questions, and I can't answer them all, but it doesn't seem appropriate to say anything."
"Then pick up some important ones and answer them!"
Jiang Liu said with a smile.
"With regard to Dressrosa's system, the presence and influence of nobles will indeed be weaker than in other regions."
"I always believe that as the king of a country, what needs to be safeguarded is the interests and fairness of the majority of common people, rather than surviving as a representative of certain classes or nobles."
"The foundation of a king also lies in his people, not those corrupt, luxurious, and sinful nobles!"
As soon as these words came out, some people present immediately began to change their colors. The reporters who asked the question were also quite stunned.
Jiang Liu actually answered, and the answer was so detailed, it was even more shocking.
Weaken the influence of the nobility? Does the king protect the interests and fairness of the common people? Such high-sounding words will undoubtedly arouse the cheers and joy of most commoners, but it will make most of the nobles in this world change their faces.
It can be said that Jiang Liu's simple words are declaring war on the nobles.
Not long ago, the upheaval in Dressrosa undoubtedly reflected this point. A large number of nobles were beheaded, arrested, and their property confiscated.
Build schools, set up factories, and provide employment opportunities for civilians.
