Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

Hey, when did there be a tennis court here?

When fifty kings and their guards arrived at Pongal Castle and were about to pass through the Social Square to the World Conference Hall, those who had been here before immediately noticed the changes here.

Tennis is a popular sports game in aristocratic circles, and almost all the kings present are aware of it.

Of course, this does not mean that all the kings and nobles of the participating countries know tennis, but that kings who can participate in world conferences are in the upper echelon of kings, and their knowledge is far better than that of small, weak, and poor countries. king,

Hahaha, that's not bad. How about we go up and play two games later!

Okay, no problem, I often play ball with my daughter!

Hey, have you noticed that the scene of this field, combined with the vermilion net, looks a bit like the Grand Line and the Red Earth Continent?

yes!

But just as the kings were talking about the tennis court, the administrative official leading the way stopped, turned around and said expressionlessly.

That is a stadium named 'Sacred Area'. Only people with special permission can use it. Otherwise, anyone who steps into the stadium without authorization will be arrested in the name of 'blaspheming the world's nobility'!

While he said this, his cold eyes swept around all the kings present, as if to silently warn them that even they would treat them equally.

.

The kings were shocked. Some of the kings who were just about to take a few steps into the stadium quickly jumped back and looked at the sea-blue stadium in front of them with a cold sweat.

Not only that, the official’s warning was also heard by thousands of people through the video phone bug, and then the image of the ‘Sacred Tennis Court’ appeared on the projection screen.

Wow, what a spectacular stadium!

On the sea-blue field divided into areas by long dark blue lines, there are actually painted the main islands of the first half of the Grand Route and the second half of the Grand Route, with a slightly darker calm zone on both sides.

This is a huge overhead view of the Grand Airway, divided into two halves by the red mesh bag in the middle.

King Kobra can clearly see that his Alabasta is so conspicuous on the court that represents the 'first half'.

This made his face look complicated, or rather ugly, and it was not just him. The kings from all the countries on the Grand Route were all embarrassed. After all, who would like their kingdom to be stepped on to play football?

In addition to the islands where these kingdoms are located, the naval headquarters Marinefando, the never-sleeping city Judiciary Island, the underwater prison Impel City and the three gates of justice are also painted on it.

The combination of these things produced an extremely strong visual impact, which made countless people speechless. They could only lament over and over again that they had witnessed the pomp of the world's nobles.

So. The world's nobles, no, it should be the legendary supreme five old stars who like to play tennis on a daily basis?

Kings and nobles of all levels who were not qualified to participate in the World Conference felt that they had keenly discovered the key point.

Well, there are five five old stars, so one court is not enough, right?

Stupid, you don't know that tennis can be played in doubles, right? Two versus two, with the remaining person acting as the referee, wouldn't it just be a good split?

Hey, that's right!

Uh, can tennis work two-on-two? Let's try it sometime.

Just when the outside world was attracted by the 'Sacred Tennis Court' and all kinds of discussions were swirling, the kings left their guards in the social square and continued to follow the officials in front to the World Conference Hall.

ten minutes later

Wow!!!!!

The next second after the official pushed the door open, the fifty kings present and all the viewers in front of the live broadcast subconsciously shouted in unison.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shaken by this 'wow'.

The bright sunlight streaming in through the many floor-to-ceiling windows illuminated the hall extremely brightly. A circular white round table was placed in the hall, and fifty white and purple high-back chairs were neatly placed one meter apart. Place it behind the round table.

Taking into account that each king has a different body shape, the width of the seat is completely customized to the size of each king.

But the most eye-catching thing is the circular white platform with the huge emblem of the World Government arranged inside the circular table!

The whole scene makes people feel an invisible wave of solemnity and solemnity blowing towards their faces!

This is where fifty kings discuss important matters?

Oh my God, this is too advanced!

When can I go there and sit for a while?

King Kobra, King Neptune and others who were at the scene were also confused. Those who had not been here were just shocked, while those who had been were completely confused.

What's going on? Why has the layout of the hall changed? Where's the big long table before?! King Arnold of the Drum Kingdom pointed inside and asked in surprise.

The place where they used to hold world conferences was a long table less than three meters wide but dozens of meters long. Two of the fifty kings sat at both ends, and then the other kings sat on both sides and looked at each other. sit.

In fact, in the original timeline, this situation will continue for a long time, and it will not take the form of a large round table until more than twenty years later.

Please take your seats according to the name tags on the table. Afterwards, a waiter will take away the name tags and bring you black tea or coffee. After saying this, the official leading the way turned around and left without any delay.

The kings looked at each other, but immediately sprang into action, finding their place, but King Neptune didn't need to, he just floated to the largest chair and sat down.

“It’s really good. Compared to the past, the current environment is more comfortable and atmospheric!”

Sitting next to King Neptune was the king from the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea. Hearing the former's comments, he was extremely agreeable and satisfied.

Indeed, I felt before that that big long table couldn't reflect our identity and status at all.

While he was speaking, he was observing the image phone bugs placed around him with his eyes. When he noticed the phone bugs looking over at him, he quickly sat up straight, raised his chest and raised his head, making a majestic and arrogant posture.

Seeing this, King Neptune secretly shook his head.

Soon, the fifty kings were seated. The attendants served the black tea respectfully, took away the name tags on the table, and then left the hall quietly.

For a moment, the entire atmosphere became very quiet.

In fact, at this time in the past, it should have been quite a lively scene, with people on good terms greeting each other, and people on bad terms sarcastic with each other.

But when they thought about the countless people looking at them, they were stunned that no one was willing to be the first to speak.

At this moment, the door opened again, and Princess Otohime, who was dressed in a gorgeous orange dress and carefully dressed up, floated into the air on the large round platform with the World Government LOGO printed on it, using the buoyancy of the bubbles.

The wavy long golden hair without any color, coupled with the big blue eyes and light pink lipstick, easily attracts everyone's stunning attention.

????

at this time.

Except for King Neptune, the other forty-nine kings suddenly raised big question marks, and countless viewers before the live broadcast were excited to see the legendary beautiful mermaid.

Dear kings, royal family, nobles, commoners and friends of all races before the live broadcast, hello everyone, I am the princess of Fishman Island, my name is Otohime.

After saying that, she bowed deeply, then slowly straightened up and continued.

I am very grateful to the World Government for inviting me to come to the World Conference to give you an opening speech. The title of this speech is

I have a dream!
