One piece: Rise of a Transferred Nation

Chapter 30: Unexpected Declaration

The Prodencian village of Lysander trembled as the war cries pierced the air, drowning out the tranquil rustle of leaves. King Ballais, leading the ruthless cohorts of the Grand Kingdom of Rowania, directed his invading forces onto the shores of Lysander. Boats carrying his men crashed onto the sandy banks, splintering the silence with their arrival.

"Ravage it all! Leave nothing but ruins!" King Ballais's booming voice commanded as his warriors stormed ashore, a cacophony of clashing swords and guttural shouts tearing through the serenity that once graced Lysander.

Homes were ransacked, doors splintered, and flames licked eagerly at the thatched roofs. The villagers, caught in the throes of terror, fled in desperation, their cries blending with the chaos that consumed their once-idyllic haven. Merchants' stalls were overturned, their contents scattered and trampled underfoot by the invading horde.

King Ballais, his eyes gleaming with a cruel determination, oversaw the pillaging with a merciless gaze. His men, a motley crew of hardened pirates and seasoned soldiers, reveled in the havoc they wrought, their faces contorted into fierce masks of triumph.

Amid the bedlam, a few brave souls attempted to defend their homes, wielding makeshift weapons against the overwhelming force. But their valiant efforts were quickly subdued by the relentless onslaught of the invaders.

As the sun dipped toward the horizon, casting an eerie glow upon the chaos, King Ballais stood amidst the ruins, a conqueror reveling in the devastation he had wrought upon the peaceful village of Lysander. The once-thriving heart of the community now lay in tatters, its spirit battered but not extinguished.

Back to the Summit...

"...Thank you for your insights. Now, onto the next subject." King Marcus addressed the assembly, his voice projecting authority mingled with a hint of urgency. "Our discussion now will center on Crisis Management and Humanitarian Aid."

The leaders leaned forward, their attention sharpening as Marcus guided the dialogue toward this pivotal topic.

"As part of our alliance, it's imperative that we establish robust mechanisms for handling crises and providing timely aid to member nations in times of need," Marcus continued, his gaze shifting from one leader to another.

"Open the document to page 185, Section A," he directed, as the leaders swiftly located the designated section, anticipation brimming in the room.

"Our aim is to devise comprehensive protocols and strategies for coordinated responses to various crises - natural disasters, conflicts, or humanitarian emergencies," Marcus stated firmly, emphasizing the gravity of the discussion.

He gestured toward the document projected on the large screen. "Outlined here are proposed frameworks for rapid response, resource mobilization, and efficient aid distribution during critical situations."

King Neptune, a weathered yet attentive figure, interjected. "Your Majesty, what about the number of People needed for such thing? I believe specialized task forces or committees designated for crisis management would be amazing to note."

Marcus nodded, acknowledging the significance of such measures. "Indeed, the proposal includes the creation of specialized task forces comprising skilled individuals from our respective nations. These teams would undergo joint training exercises and work collaboratively during emergencies."

The leaders engaged in fervent discussions, exploring the need for joint training drills, pre-planned resource sharing, and the establishment of communication channels for swift coordination during crises.
