Chapter 93 Slave Mark: Sky-Soaring Dragon Hoof

“It seems that your people love you very much.”

Above the ruined O’Hara, Long could already hear the thunderous shouts of the people of the Flower Kingdom in the distance.

He originally thought that if Sirens took over the Kingdom of Flowers by force, it would cause public resentment, but he did not expect that he would be so loved by the people.

He was very curious, what exactly did Sirens do?
However, Sirens just laughed at this and said that they would support whoever returned the things that were taken away by the royal nobles to the people.

Upon hearing this, Long nodded slightly. This was similar to the action program of their Self-Defense Army.

The only difference is that Cyrus used force to suppress the king and the nobles, while the Self-Defense Force relied on gentle means such as demonstrations, strikes and protests to fight for the rights that the people deserved.

Different methods lead to different results. Cyrus’ method is simple and crude but also effective, while the Self-Defense Forces’ method can also benefit the people, but it is often time-consuming and labor-intensive and cannot achieve the expected results.

This also made Long more convinced of the necessity of an alliance with Sirens.

During the conversation, O’Hara completed the intersection with the Kingdom of Flowers.

Sirens looked back and found that the group of archaeologists had gathered by the lake, thinking about how to take out all the books inside.

Robin was being led by Olbia, but he would look back at him from time to time.

After a moment’s silence, Sirens raised his hand, and the ground under the girl’s feet immediately floated up like water, carrying her towards him.

His hands suddenly felt empty, and Olbia subconsciously reached out to grab something, but when he turned around, he found that it was Sirens who took Robin away, so he just smiled and signaled that he would trouble you to take care of Robin.

Then he turned around and discussed with Dr. Clover and the others how to salvage and maintain the books.

Just now on the boat, Dr. Clover has already obtained a promise from Sirens that the soldiers from the Flower Kingdom will help, so they are currently just discussing how to retrieve these books more safely and securely.

Robin watched her mother let go of her so easily, and she felt a little depressed. Just like when they parted at O’Hara before, she wanted to stay there and follow, but as a little girl, she couldn’t help at all.

Although she has the ability of the Hana-Hana no Mi, she can pick up books one by one without help from others.

But her physical strength was limited and she could not sustain long-term work. She could only read a hundred books at most before she became exhausted.

Just when she was feeling a little depressed, a big warm hand held her.

The little girl looked up and found that her brother, who had always been with her, still had that gentle smile on his face.

He clearly didn’t say a word, and there was not even any eye contact, but she could feel that he was saying: Brother will always be your warm harbor.

Inexplicably, Robin put aside the little emotion in his heart just now, held Sirens’ hand tightly, and followed him to the people of the Flower Kingdom who were lined up to welcome him.

Long walked aside, half a body length behind, silently observing the citizens of the Flower Kingdom who had expressions of enthusiasm and admiration on their faces.

He noticed that the mental outlook and clothing of these people were different from before, and they looked more… normal.

A long time ago, Long Ye once came to this country. At that time, the Flower Kingdom gave people an overall depressing feeling. It seemed that the whole country was suffering under the high-pressure rule of the king.

At that time, Long also thought about listing the citizens of the Flower Kingdom as one of the targets of rescue by the Self-Guardian Army, but the Flower Kingdom’s army and navy were too powerful, and they were not an enemy that the few Self-Guardian Army could shake.

Especially the leader of the Babao Navy, Qingjiao, is a legendary figure that even his father finds difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the goal that was not achieved at the beginning was easily achieved by Sirens, and it was even said that it took less than half an hour.

The army of the Kingdom of Flowers lined up to welcome the King’s triumphant return. Xin and several army group leaders were waiting in the front, and in the distance were huge crowds of citizens of the Kingdom of Flowers and refugees rescued by Sirens. It was so spectacular that it was daunting. At least the members of the Self-Defense Forces who followed the leader’s footsteps were already dumbfounded.

If their Self-Defense Forces had such strong cohesion, there would be no need to worry about the failure of their great cause.

Waving his hand to reject a series of unnecessary and cumbersome ceremonies, Sirens led everyone to the Palace of the Kingdom of Flowers, introduced the top leaders of the Kingdom of Flowers and the Self-Guardian Army to each other, and stated the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

The Flower Kingdom agreed with all decisions made by their own King without a second thought, so naturally there were no objections. The first conversation between the two sides went very smoothly.

And Long was very satisfied. The army of the Flower Kingdom were all veterans who had truly experienced the test of blood and fire, and they did not have the bad habits of pirates like the navy group. They were a backbone force that could be used right away and were particularly easy to use.

With their help, the transformation of the Self-Volunteer Army into a revolutionary army will surely be extremely smooth in the future.

With the arrival of Long and others, the members of the Self-Defense Force lurking in the Kingdom of Flowers also appeared.

Sirens took a quick look and found no familiar big-headed demon, so he stopped paying too much attention and let Long discuss cooperation matters with the leader of the army group himself.

Xin arranged for people to help archaeologists salvage O’Hara’s historical books. After they were done, he found Sirens to report on the resettlement of the refugees.

After learning that the refugees all had the Sky-Soaring Dragon’s Hoof Seal, which symbolized the slaves of the Sky-Draco, the corners of Sirens’ mouth curled slightly, as if he was thinking about how the future child of destiny would capture the heart of the empress.

People say that those who are in love are idiots. In Sirens’ opinion, Hancock is indeed an idiot. Those fishmen living under the sea ten thousand meters deep know how to cover the hoof of the Sky-Soaring Dragon with a new mark, but she is the empress of a country and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea designated by the World Government, but she can’t even think of such a simple method.

Apart from having big breasts and no brains, he couldn’t find a second reason.

“Go find a group of skilled craftsmen and replace all the Sky-Soaring Dragon Hoofs on them with Coiling Dragon Seals!” Sirens sat on the throne and gave the order lightly.

However, when these words were spoken, Xin and all the staff were shocked and their faces changed drastically.

“Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!”

“Your Majesty, we know that you care about the world, but the Panlong Seal is the symbol of the royal family of the Kingdom of Flowers. How can it be tattooed on those outsiders?”

“Yes, young master, the Panlong Seal is related to the royal family’s inheritance and cannot be given to outsiders.”

If it weren’t for Sirens’ previous order prohibiting kneeling, they would have already knelt on the ground and asked His Majesty to revoke his order.

After all, he didn’t say that he would only grant the Panlong Seal tattoo to those refugees who were willing to stay in the Kingdom of Flowers, but to all refugees, including those who were unwilling to stay.

However, Serens has made up his mind: “The royal family of the Flower Kingdom is a thing of the past. From now on, I have the final say in everything.”

“I said that we should lift the restrictions on the Coiled Dragon Seal. Then, whether it is a later-coming outsider or a former citizen, anyone can get a tattoo if they want, but they must not get it on their face.”

“As for those who do not want to stay… all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all living things are his subjects. No matter where they are, they will eventually become my people.”

Seeing that they could not win over Sirens, Xin and several of his staff members were sweating profusely. Finally, Xin was more alert and said bluntly:
“Young Master, the Coiled Dragon Seal is the symbol of the royal family of the Kingdom of Flowers. There are many countries and people who know this.

If those refugees accidentally reveal the Coiled Dragon Mark on their bodies when they return to their hometowns, they are likely to be targeted by the World Government and the Navy, and they may then conduct a massive search at sea for anyone with the Coiled Dragon Mark on their bodies.”

Cyrus thought about it and came up with another solution:
“Then find someone to design a few different coiled dragon seals, and then we’ll tattoo whichever one they like.”

Anyway, he had long been dissatisfied with the Flower Kingdom’s Coiled Dragon Seal. It looked more like a snake with horns, so he decided to redesign it.

Although it was still a little hard to accept, after all, His Majesty the King, who was a man of his word, was willing to give in. Xin and several of his aides did not dare to say anything more and took their leave.
