One Piece: Kingdom Building System

Chapter 136: No Humans Are Born Evil

“Returning to what I said earlier” Ars' previously cold gaze immediately turned calm again, “The Kingdom of Alabasta is one of the two kingdoms that have received my attention and I want to be part of the kingdom that builds cooperative relations with our kingdom. It is also why I have sent some of my spies to investigate the situation and conditions experienced by the Kingdom of Alabasta in the past.”

Ars paused for a moment and continued, “In terms of own criteria, surely many would like to know the conditions for a kingdom wishing to establish a cooperative relationship with our kingdom. I think a lot of people are curious about this. Well, to establish a cooperative relationship with our kingdom. Actually not too difficult or not too easy. As long as the kingdom can meet these requirements. Even though my kingdom doesn't have anything needed in that kingdom. As long as they meet the conditions set by me. I have no problem establishing a cooperative relationship with the kingdom.”

All the kings of the realms who were currently watching were staring at the live broadcast screen seriously and intensely. They knew that they might soon find out about the provisions established by the Fortis Kingdom regarding the conditions for a kingdom to be able to establish cooperative relations with their kingdom.

“The criteria itself is…” Ars paused and stared at the screen, “The kingdom prospers their people.”

"Prosperity?"

"Is that all?"

Many people watching were muttering in bewilderment especially to the kings of the various kingdoms.

“I'm sure those of you who are watching right now are wondering or thinking that's all? Honestly, what you guys think is just that is completely wrong” Ars said, “Here I ask, of the many kingdoms that exist in this world. How many kingdoms are there where they treat the people living in the kingdom's territory well?"

“...”

Everyone was silent.

“We started from the Drum Kingdom which is in the Grand Line area”

Wapol who heard the name of the kingdom was mentioned immediately stood up from his seat. Meanwhile, people watching the live broadcast became interested in this.

“The Drum Kingdom is a kingdom that is in the territory of the Grand Line. This kingdom itself is very synonymous with its citizens who have great skills in the medical and medical fields. There's even someone I respect there."

"Respected?"

“Is there someone that King Fortis respects there?”

"Who is that?"

A wave of questions arose the moment those words left Ars' mouth.

“It can be said that because of the excellent human resources, namely the citizens who are great in the field of medicine. The Drum Kingdom is one of the best candidates to work with, especially in the health sector. However…” Ars's gaze turned cold, “It's only because the current King who rules the Drum Kingdom is giving up too much on wealth and power. The king made the people living in his kingdom very miserable. King–No, the Wapol who is currently leading the kingdom collects all the doctors in the kingdom into his power and then increases the price for medical treatment to be very high which makes it difficult for residents to get medical treatment when they suffer from illness”

Ars paused for a moment and continued, “Drum Kingdom is an island that is always covered with snow where the temperature on this island is quite cold. Residents, especially children aged less than 12 years, are very vulnerable to disease. Because of the actions taken by the Wapol, many residents, especially children, died. This is what causes forever. As long as Wapol ruled the Drum Kingdom. My Kingdom will never establish a cooperative relationship with the Drum Kingdom.”
