Chapter-58: GrigoriGrigori is a country of far eastern territory near Eastern Gigantic Ocean. It is one of the countries in the list of the top ten poorest nation. The main reason for this situation is pirates. The Eastern Gigantic Ocean is famous for filled with vicious pirates.
Almost 70% of resource was stolen by them in the last North-East Holy War which happened 80 years ago. And Grigori, one of the higher mid cla.s.s countries downgraded to the low-cla.s.s country.
The pirates still exist here. If there were no pirates, this country can prosper in a few decades because of its bountiful land resource.
This country is not a.s.sociated with neighbor countries because the previous royal family betrayed in the war of the North-East Holy War. So, this country is an all alone country which has nothing but land and humans. Another problem is human of this country cannot migrate neighbor countries because no countries accept them as full member citizenship. Those who can make some money, they can migrate rich Western countries and a few Southern countries.
Let"s talk about the present situation. The current king of this country is Bestow Grigori. He is the 14th king of this nation.
King Bestow Grigori was in pressure because of the number one pirate threaten him to give them annual revenue that the royal family got.
He just finished a meeting with n.o.bles about this urgent predicament situation. But n.o.bles are stepping back except few and said to comply with pirates. They are not only a bunch of cowards but selfish being with a corrupted mind. They know that nothing will lose from them in this open robbery.
Even Royal Family won"t lose anything from this incident, but the poor will must suffer because of this. Cause all of the annual revenue will come from those poor, this time they have to give more tax than they did previously. Before they would give 50% tax from what they income, this time probably Royal Family has to extract 70% to 80% tax, which is savage no matter how you see it.
Though previous Kings were corrupt minded, King Bestow got a different mindset and has some good wish for the general public. He couldn"t bear to ask more tax to the public which is already worst in the first place. In other low-cla.s.s country tax is only 20%-30% where this country takes 50% the record amount tax, so yea, the public will be more or less infuriated after hearing this.
King Bestow Grigori stop thinking everything and give them to the hand of luck. There is nothing at this stage he can do, he is just simply powerless.
He weakly walks to his palace"s drawing room, and strangely notice everything was shrouded in darkness.
"Everyone, where is everyone? Why lights are not on? Not even single lambs are here. What the heck all of you doing?"
Because of his muddle head, he was late to understand that the situation is not normal.
By the time, he understands he wanted to step back from the palace. But before that, the door of his behind was closed.
"Nothing to fear, King Bestow Grigori, it just everyone taking a nap for a short time."
A voice rung out from his front.
"Who-who is there? What did you do to my family."
King Bestow asked with a loud tone. He was not scared but worry about his family.
"Oh, do not worry all of them is safe."
When that voice finished 3 eyes were lit up in that darkness. Along with those three eyes, another six pairs of eyes lit up.
Seeing those strange eyes from the location of the sofa, King Bestow was taken aback and fall into his b.u.t.t.
"Wh-what are you guys? What kind of race are you guys?"
His voice visibly trembled.
Any other person would be in the same situation if they were in his place. That"s because the person in the middle has three eyes, the eye of the top of his head was light blue colors, which has ripple pattern spread over the eyeb.a.l.l.s, and there were nine coma shape pupils on it. The other two of his eyes was normal but was light purple colors which he never has seen in his life.
And the other six pairs eyes were the same blue colors as the middle man and same ripple pattern was spreading over the eyeb.a.l.l.s.
"Seems like we really startled you. But if we didn"t cut off the light grand entrance wouldn"t be that great, would it? Now then all in place, let"s turn on the lights."
The three eyes man told him comically. And with that, the light was turn on instantly. King Bestow didn"t bother to know who did turn on those lights.
He was just so captivated the beings in front of him.
Not only their eyes were strange, but their appearance was unique, he never saw style like that. And he even doesn"t know what race the three eyes being was from. He has pale white skin, two horn on his head. He was wearing a white color dress with some strange design and patterns.
Other six were male and female both gender. They were wearing black color cloak. The noticeable fact is in their face black small rods like things were pierced through.
King was too speechless to say anything to them. Seeing that three-eyed man came forward and introduced himself,
"h.e.l.lo King Bestow Grigori, my name is Madara. And these guys you are seeing they are called Pain."
"Madara? Pain? Who are you guys? What do you want with me? Where is my family?"
King Bestow Grigori asked many questions at once with obvious panic looking face.
"Oh, you don"t have to worry over who we are, because you will eventually know our ident.i.ty in a few moments later... We just want nothing but rule this country in shadow, all you have to do is become our puppet. In exchange, we will protect your family and clean all corrupted n.o.ble, as well as we will deal with all insolence pirates."
Madara, whose true name is Jin Tiger stated his goal calmly.
"Like I comply with unknown beings like you... This situation is not that better than pirates oppression, in fact, it"s the same category danger."
"There is no use to argue us. You will comply with me eventually. Because [Kotoamatsukami!]"
Jin silently cast one of the absolute genjutsu which can change a man"s goal.
The King stood up and kneeled down in front of Jin.
"Your Excellency, Your commend is my wish."
"See, now that is befitting of your main role. This six will be the new rulers of this country. Follow every instruction they give you."
"Your order well received, my lord."
The six of them exactly the same six face which attacked Hidden Leaf village. The only difference is, Yahiko, the wood clone of Jin Tiger is the controller of the other five who is nothing but dead cells of Zetsus.
Thus the reign of new Six Paths of Pain (Jin Tiger) starts here. It will be one of the strongest bases of future groups called Arroganz.
