In the past 800 years of this world, only the World Government has the orthodox name to rule the world. It is the only overlord that has occupied the right to rule legally.
The navy is one of its tools to maintain rule and order.
So when Admiral Tsuru said that the Lionheart Kingdom was trying to lead the world in the footsteps of the World Government, the admirals reacted greatly.
On both sides of the long table, most people had angry faces and murderous aura on their bodies, while some were surprised and uncertain, their eyes flickering, and some subtle thoughts rising in their hearts...
This scene is very similar to "The Last Supper".
"Treason! The swordsman Ren's ambition must be severely suppressed and purged!"
Ghost Spider broke the silence, his eyebrows tightened, his eyes filled with endless anger, making him look ferocious.
Pitbull Dauberman was also furious and said loudly:
"Marshal Sakaski, the swordsman Ren's move is to shake and challenge the rule of the World Government and trample on the justice that the entire navy bears... We must not compromise or tolerate such evil madmen. I strongly recommend that Lionheart The kingdom uses troops! We must suppress this sign of trouble..."
"Yes, this is Hong Guoguo's rebellious behavior. The Navy must respond with a tough and iron-blooded attitude!"
"...a sign of danger. Once this kind of thing starts, the consequences will be unimaginable. This evil trend must be suppressed!"
…
More than a dozen navy vice-admirals were filled with indignation and denounced angrily.
Especially those hawkish generals reacted fiercely and suggested sending troops to suppress and cleanse the Lion Heart Kingdom.
In any case, the World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years. Its orthodoxy, legitimacy, authority and influence are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and naturally there is no shortage of die-hard supporters.
As the largest violent organization under the government, most naval generals have also been indoctrinated with the idea of being loyal to the government and doing their best to maintain government rule.
What's more, for a navy marshal to be publicly wanted by a country founded by a big pirate is tantamount to a slap in the face of the navy.
However, some people hold different opinions.
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said with a serious face:
"I can understand how everyone is feeling at this moment, but I must remind you that the military strength of the Lionheart Kingdom far exceeds that of the other Five Emperors, and also surpasses the Whitebeard Pirates in their heyday, and even the Roger Pirates back then. Can't reach...
Please carefully consider the consequences of rashly starting a war. "
Everyone: "..."
These words silenced many people.
There is no doubt that the Lionheart Pirates, or the Lionheart Kingdom, is the most powerful pirate force in the past eight hundred years.
Ever since the swordsman Ren destroyed the island with his sword, he has also been recognized as the strongest swordsman and the strongest pirate in the past 800 years.
Garp changed his cynical look, looked serious, and said:
“Since we may face each other, I need to say something to let everyone understand how powerful the enemy we are going to face this time is.
Let's put it this way, the swordsman Ren and his people can completely annihilate the Rocks Pirates back then, leaving no trace of armor behind. "
Everyone: "..."
(｀Δ′)!
More than 40 years ago, a sea tyrant named Rocks recruited a group of powerful subordinates to form the Rocks Pirates.
In addition to Rocks himself, its members include the future legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki, the future Yonko Edward Newgate, Charlotte Lingling, Kaido of the Beasts, as well as some famous future pirates, Silver Ax, John The captain and Wang Zhi waited.
Although at that time, people like Kaido and Big Mom were not as strong as they would later be, the terror of the Rocks Pirates could still be seen.
Rocks led his men to attack the Valley of the Gods, and no one could stop him. In the end, Garp stood up...
But Garp has now made it clear that the Rocks Pirates are no match for the Lionheart Pirates, and they will be killed in a fight, leaving nothing behind.
There is no way, the Lion Heart Kingdom is so strong now, with so many masters and countless cannon fodder.
"There can't be any compromise. The arrogance of the swordsman Ren must be suppressed. At least this wanted order must be revoked immediately!"
Peach Rabbit held the newspaper with the wanted order for Akainu and said with evil eyes.
Lieutenant General He added:
"Even if the Lionheart Kingdom cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, the swordsman Ren must bow his head, cancel the wanted order, publicly admit his mistake and apologize in the newspaper, and cut off his hand that is trying to reach world hegemony. This is the navy's bottom line. "
The two female lieutenant generals' tough but somewhat buffering speeches were, not surprisingly, recognized by most people present.
Marshal Akainu listened silently to everyone's opinions, and then said in a deep voice:
"Okay, be quiet. I believe everyone has understood the seriousness of the matter. I myself also agree to send troops to the Lion Heart Kingdom.
The minimum requirements of the Navy are just as Ms. He said, the swordsman Renn must give up his ambition to openly compete with the government for world domination...
Well, those who support the use of force, or those who support the use of force to deter the Lion Heart Kingdom, please sign your name on this document, and then the document will be submitted to the Five Old Stars by Kate. "
Everyone nodded, indicating that they had no objection.
Even if the Navy Headquarters wants to go to war with the Lion Heart Kingdom, such a major matter is not something they can decide. They can only propose initiatives. Even Marshal Akainu does not have this power.
The war on the top seven months ago was also carried out with the instruction and permission of the Five Old Stars.
Commodore Brannu passed on the document, and most of the naval generals including Crane Staff, Buddha Warring States, Peach Rabbit, Tea Dolphin, Smoker and Ghost Spider signed their names.
At the very least, Lei should be allowed to take the initiative to cancel the wanted order and cut off his hands on world domination. This is what most people think.
There are also people without signatures, such as Garp and Kizaru.
Garp is too lazy to care about this kind of thing. He has great opinions on the Draconians and high-level government officials.
The Lion Heart Kingdom is not just burning, killing and looting everywhere, but it is going to compete with the government. To be honest, he still has some expectations in his heart.
Considering that his son is Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, and he is very proud of Long, it is not difficult to imagine his attitude towards this kind of thing.
If Ren could really make the Draconians and high-level government officials disgraced, this old man might still be secretly happy.
It would be easier if Kizaru didn't sign.
Afraid of being beaten...
He simply doesn't want to fight with Mr. Lei again. The world government has lost its right to speak and even its hegemony. What does it have to do with him?
When the sky collapses, it is the five old stars who hold it up. When the government collapses, it is also the Tianlong people who are unlucky.
Even if the Lion Heart Kingdom replaces the World Government, given the geographical environment of this world, the Navy Headquarters will not be disbanded...
As long as they have jobs and wages, will workers care about the change of leadership?
There are actually quite a few people who think like Kizaru, and not everyone is completely committed to the World Government and is willing to go through fire and water.
Moreover, despite appearances, there are actually quite a few marines who hate the Celestial Dragons in their hearts...
The document finally reached Artoria's desk, and she put it away without signing.
This move was seen by the top brass of the navy, and many of them showed surprised expressions. Even the big bosses like Akainu and He were a little surprised and confused.
Logically speaking, the daughter of God should stand firmly on the side of the government.
The relationship between her and the bloodthirsty swordsman seems to be very bad, and there is no reason to let go of the opportunity to suppress the other party.
"Kate, please take a trip." Akainu said.
"Well, I'm going to the Holy Land."
Artoria put away the documents, her body became insubstantial, and the next moment she turned into a breeze and disappeared out of thin air.
No one could sense how she left. All the sight, hearing, and color were ineffective, and no trace could be captured.
Green Bull's pupils shrank slightly and said in surprise: "Sometimes I really doubt whether she is a human or a ghost."
What is the principle of this?
It's like teleporting on the spot, I'm sorry he really can't understand...
Everyone: "..."
They can't understand it either.
Since the war, Bailong's abilities have become more and more weird and mysterious, and her behavior has become difficult to understand.
Although she is still in the navy, she has basically become a special person outside the system.
…………
A wanted order broke the early morning calm, and the Navy held an emergency meeting to deal with it. All parts of the world were also caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.
The first half of the Grand Line.
On a deserted island, the waves hit the bare rocks on the cliffside, causing bursts of white spray.
Pluto Rayleigh, with disheveled silver hair and a pair of reading glasses, was sitting on the bluestone, reading a newspaper. When he saw the wanted order for Marshal Akainu in the newspaper, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and then he laughed:
"Hahahaha... Brother Jianhao really can't stop, he made such interesting big news again."
It's so interesting. If Roger were still alive, he would probably laugh out loud after seeing this. He likes this kind of unexpected things the most.
Pluto's laughter woke up the young people in several tents on the grass not far away. Luffy, Fire Fist Ace and Trafalgar Law yawned and climbed out of the tents.
"Uncle Rayleigh, what happened?" Luffy asked casually, rubbing his eyelids.
"See for yourself."
Reilly threw the newspaper to them, and the three of them took it and put their heads together.
"Akainu...Akainu, is wanted?"
Luffy looked at Sakaski's photo in the newspaper, scratched his head in confusion, and said with a confused expression, "Isn't he that navy miso?"
Forgive him for not understanding what a mysterious operation this is.
His nerves were a bit thick, and the Straw Hat boy had forgotten that Rayleigh told him a few days ago that Akainu was already the marshal.
The main reason is that Luffy and Ace didn't meet Akainu very much this time. With Luffy's character, it's not easy to remember Akainu's face.
Seeing that the Admiral was wanted, Ace and Trafalgar Law looked like they had seen a ghost.
Ace pinched his face hard. It hurt. He hissed and made sure it was not a dream. He said with a blank look on his face:
"What's going on? Did Akainu... go to sea?"
If Akainu became a pirate, it would indeed be worth 4 billion beli.
Trafalgar Law rolled his eyes and said, "Wouldn't you two read the title? Wanted was issued by the Lionheart Kingdom, not the World Government."
Luffy suddenly realized: "Oh, it's the man in the trench coat again, he's the only one who dares to do such a thing."
Even a man of nerves like him knows how daring it is to publicly put a bounty on Marine Dai-chan, and the consequences will not be less severe than attacking the Tianlong people anyway.
Ace frowned and asked, "Uncle Rayleigh, what does he want to do? Start a war with the navy?"
He couldn't see what good would come of this except irritating the navy.
"Fighting for the right to speak."
The lenses of Rayleigh's glasses glowed with silver as he explained, "The World Government is the only overlord in this world that has the qualifications to issue orders to all sea areas and most countries in the world.
It is the maker, defender and arbiter of world order.
Relying on this kind of justice or authority, the government can convict anyone who disobeys its will and denounce those who resist as lawbreakers. This conviction can be universally recognized by almost everyone around the world.
What Ren wants to do is to break this authority, seize justice and the right to speak, and seek the same status and qualifications as the government. "
These words were a bit complicated, and Luffy yawned continuously when he heard them, going in one ear and out the other.
Ace and Luo listened carefully and thought.
The right to speak, in the name of orthodoxy.
It doesn't sound like much, but these are themes that political struggles can never avoid.
The foundation of rule comes from force, but maintaining order cannot rely solely on violence. Sometimes, with justice and the right to speak in hand, it is almost possible to kill people invisible.
For example, even a hero like "One Piece" Roger is just a notorious bandit leader among people all over the world.
But if one day, the world government is overthrown, Roger will most likely not be a thief.
It can be expected that he will be awarded a series of honors by the new government, such as "hero who resisted tyranny," "pioneer of revolution," "fighter for freedom," and "candle that illuminated the dark era of the old government."
But as long as the World Government is not overthrown, Roger will still be a bandit, garbage on the sea, and despised by the people.
How bad Roger's reputation is among the people can be seen in reference to Ace's childhood experiences.
This is the power of holding the name and voice of orthodoxy.
For example, Renn managed the Lionheart Kingdom in an orderly manner and was praised as a wise king by the people of the kingdom.
But in the world, he is still a bandit, a lawless and evil pirate, a garbage, a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones...
Similarly, in the eyes of people around the world, the Lion Heart Kingdom is a pirate country, evil and illegal.
Some people may ask, why didn't Ren rush directly to the Holy Land to kill the five old stars and bloodbath the Tianlong people?
Xiang Yu can answer this answer.
Xiang Yu defeated the main force of the Qin army and overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
Then, will Xi Chu directly replace the Qin Dynasty?
No, Qin lost his deer, and the whole world chased him away. The world became more chaotic, bloody wars continued, and more people died.
Then Xiang Yu embarked on the path of a firefighter. There was a riot here, and he led his troops to suppress it. After finally suppressing it, another fire broke out over there...
They killed one group after another and died one after another, but the world did not settle down.
In the end, Xiang Yu, who was victorious in every battle and had the most courage in the world in terms of martial arts, was exhausted and threw himself into the street.
Why don't everyone obey Xiang Yu's rule honestly?
Hasn't he already gone to the Holy Land (slaughtered Xianyang) and eliminated the Tianlong people (killed Prince Qin Ying)?
If Ren doesn't take action, it's because time is too short. The Lionheart Kingdom currently does not have the ability and conditions to replace the World Government.
The kingdom's influence and military strength are far from enough to cover the whole world, and it is not recognized and respected by the people.
Moreover, in the perception of more than 90% of the people around the world, the Lion Heart Kingdom is a very evil and illegal country...
Any social change, or even the change of governing power, involves a gradual process.
The Lion Heart Kingdom's current influence and military deterrence range cannot extend beyond the small sea area of the New World.
If Ren runs to destroy the World Government now, then his situation will be second to Xiang Yu. Next, he will bloodbath the heroes and mobs around the world over and over again.
This planet is so big, and he is only one person...
With his strength, he will definitely not repeat Xiang Yu's old path.
But the question is, how long will it take to kill?
So what if it succeeds?
In less than a year, he will leave without taking a single hair with him. And after he leaves, can the Lionheart Kingdom replace the World Government and secure its throne as the world's hegemon?
To put it harshly, once Ren leaves, the Lionheart Kingdom, which he single-handedly pushed to the throne of world hegemony, will almost begin to fall apart and destroy itself.
It's useless to leave more backup options.
Because what is in chaos is the human heart. Except for Ren, no one in the Lion Heart Kingdom is qualified and has the ability to be the king of the world!
A group of subjects who cling to the boss's lap, a world overlord who was forced to grow by the sword master in the most brutal way.
Haha, it is a miracle that there was no civil strife within three years after Ren left.
Even if the Lionheart Kingdom wants to replace the World Government, Ren will not force it by himself. He will only lay the foundation and leave the subsequent tasks to the heroes of the kingdom, allowing them to withstand the baptism and test of blood and fire. Condensing faith in suffering and forging brilliance in the vigorous wave of change.
This is the foundation for a country’s long-lasting prosperity.
If they lose to the government and cannot compete with the revolutionary army, it can only be said that the people of the Lion Heart Kingdom are too useless.
Without this kind of ability, it is enough to dominate one area. If you want to rule the whole world, you may not end up with the collapse of the dynasty and the destruction of the country in a few days.
………
Holy Land, Marie Gioia.
Arturia entered the House of Power and gave the Navy's petition for war to the Five Old Stars.
The five old men looked serious and worried. It was obvious that they already knew that Akainu was wanted, and they could not sleep or eat well at this time.
After reading the document, several people still looked heavy.
The swordsman Ren was so ambitious that he showed his fangs and began to challenge the world's hegemony, which made them all worried and uneasy.
So what if the navy is willing to fight?
They are completely unable to suppress the Lion Heart Kingdom!
Gorbachev looked at the daughter of God and asked tentatively:
"Your Highness, it doesn't seem like you have your signature on it. You..."
What they need is the support of the daughter of God.
"I said I won't help you clean the world." Artoria said coldly.
"But, you are still a navy, aren't you?" Churchill, the fifth-oldest star, said somewhat unwillingly.
At this time, the government particularly needs the support of the Daughter of God.
Otherwise, they would not have the confidence to defeat the United Kingdom of Lionheart without using their final trump card.
"Um."
Artoria nodded, picked up the holy sword, placed it on the table, and said, "This sword can defeat any top powerhouse. This is the greatest support I can give you."
Wulao Xing: "..."
But we would rather you do it yourself.
The Holy Sword is indeed very powerful and can defeat one of the Four Emperors, but when it fights on its own, its power is not completely superior to conventional power.
Five old star Lincoln looked at Bailong eagerly and said: "This...you..."
"Okay, this is my attitude. At least I have contributed the strength that a naval admiral should have."
Artoria turned around and left, not taking the holy sword with her either.
Anyway, there is the soul of the goddess in the sword, and it will fly back on its own, not to mention it is not afraid of being stolen.
Wulaoxing looked at the gorgeous holy sword on the table with a wry smile on his face.
This support is not enough.
"The goddess doesn't want to help, what should we do?"
"I don't know. This matter is not something we can handle. Let's report it to Lord Yimu."
"That's all we can do. Alas, it's been such a troubled time."
Several old men looked sad and sighed.
………
Outside the House of Power, Arturia walked down the spacious and bright corridor, her silver boots making a rhythmic crunch as she stepped on the marble floor.
Halfway through, she suddenly stopped and looked at the room to the side, where there was a slender shadow.
"You're here." The dark figure in the room said, his voice full of vicissitudes and endless majesty.
"Yes." Arturia nodded slightly, her expression unchanged.
"Why are you unwilling to act like a god to cleanse the unstable factors in this world, or to kill all the Celestial Dragons you hate and subvert the rule of the world government?" Shadow said.
What he said was very bold.
"I wanted to do it once, but then I gave up."
"Oh why?"
"Because I don't want to be a god on earth."
After Artoria finished speaking, she left without waiting for the man to ask.
She originally wanted to overthrow the government and purge the Celestial Dragons, but Ren dissuaded her and told her a story.
The story is "Injustice: Gods Among Us"
General plot: The Joker used illusions to cause Superman to accidentally kill his pregnant wife Lois and use a nuclear bomb to blow up Metropolis.
From then on, Superman no longer restrained himself. He made full use of his invincible power over the world and began to act as judge, jury and executioner at the same time. He also recruited a group of superheroes, established a government, and used Violence and intimidation force the world into "peace"...
After hearing this story, Artoria gave up using absolute violence to interfere with the change and historical process of this world.
It is not necessarily a good thing to encourage the growth of the seedlings. The Son of Destiny who came into being with 800 years of history has appeared. The power of change has been accumulated since the era of the Great Pirates.
It should be said that there is nothing wrong with her at the moment.
