Thirty years later.
The war thirty years ago affected the whole world and caused a large number of feudal nobles and capital to step down. They cursed the instigators and called the war a 'despicable war of usurpation'.
But most people called it an "honest and victorious battle."
But no matter how it was called, the person in charge of the World Government, who was already called the "Führer" by the sea, informed the whole world during that war that the World Government had changed, and the Navy would represent everything in the World Government and unify everything.
The Justice Island and the CP organization are still under the jurisdiction of the world government, and their rights remain unchanged. The navy is still the same navy. With Doug Greg Cass as the marshal, the navy issued a declaration of war to the pirates in the sea. It took five years to destroy those assassins. The head pirates were wiped out, and the remaining pirates were huddled in the corners of the sea, hiding like mice.
Everything seems to have not changed much, but there have been earth-shaking changes.
The Tianlong people are gone, and the feudal aristocracy and capital that weighed on the people are gone. They don't have to pay heavy taxes. All taxes are uniformly formulated by the world government after weighing the local situation, and officials are dispatched to station.
As for the king...
At David's call, all the countries on the sea gave up their status as kings and changed their status as representatives of public opinion.
This being is elected by the people in the local area and is used to give opinions to the world government during meetings and to supervise each other with officials sent by the world government.
As for those who disagreed or committed numerous crimes, they were basically hanged by the navy.
Just like hanging those nobles, just hang them on a street lamp or a tree. Do not use other hanging methods because of differences in status. Use this method to tell the world that you are... nothing in the eyes of the government.
As for the pirates, although they have been eradicating them, they are indeed endless. Based on the geographical environment of the sea, even if Kuro decides to recruit a large number of government officials to go to every island and village, it still won't work.
The human heart is insatiable.
There will still be pirates who go to sea, especially those who have gained strength. They go to sea with the so-called dream to find the legend that has gradually become ancient - Onepiece.
But this is only a small part of them. Most pirates, some do it for freedom, some do it for power, and some do it purely for the treasures scattered on the sea.
Regarding the pirates, Kuro initially thought of killing them all, but when he thought about it, it was wrong. This was too strict, and would allow those who had just gone to sea to become pirates to free up their hands and do some bad things. In the end, they would still be sentenced to death. Lord.
But he also let go.
It's definitely wrong to rob or something like that, but if you simply go out on an adventure to find treasures or something, even if it's a Onepiece, he won't stop you.
After all, that thing poses no threat to Kuro himself. What about the blank hundred years and what historical truth? The textbooks compiled by the world government clearly write these things. Although the new world government does not know about it, they also know it clearly. It is written that no one is interested in this thing. They are a new world government that seeks the welfare of the people and makes the world as equal as possible.
Including how Clow came to power, how the navy was formed, how the old world government ruled for eight hundred years, how and why the nobility and feudal capital were abolished, all are printed in the book in a dignified way. inside.
What matters to the world is transparency.
I never deliberately hide any secrets or big secrets that affect the world. If I want to know, I will check it out myself. After my curiosity is satisfied, I will continue to live my life.
They are the new government, and they represent the general public. It’s okay to be curious about history, and it’s okay to know it, but you have to use this history to go to the people and say that you have a throne to inherit, and that you were all my slaves before. if...
Sorry, have you seen that tree next to your village?
Hang it up yourself.
…
[According to legend, in ancient times, there was a legendary warrior sun god 'Nika', who brought liberation and laughter to people. The slaves at that time firmly believed that Nika would eventually liberate them. But as far as we know, 'Nika' is a devil fruit obtained by the great pirate Monkey D. Luffy thirty years ago. His legend is still told in the East China Sea and the Grand Line, but we know that saving The one in this world is not Monkey D. Luffy, but our previous head of state. If there really is a sun god, he must be the real sun god! Let us rejoice, the sun god protects us! 】
Donghai, Shields Town, in an ordinary single-family house.
A man was sitting on a small bench with his legs straddling it. He was holding a newly released newspaper in his hand. He pointed at the contents of the newspaper with his other hand and said, "Which idiot wrote this?"
Standing next to him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and wearing a black formal suit. He had a heroic spirit between his tight eyebrows and seemed to be thinking.
"World Economic News, Mr. Cullo." The man said to the person sitting on the small bench below.
The man sitting there looked to be in his twenties, wearing a large cloak that exposed his chest, with a slicked back hair, holding a cigar in his mouth, and the golden earrings next to his earlobes shone brightly as his head moved.
"World Economic News?"
Kuro smiled and said: "Why haven't you closed down yet? Wasn't that pigeon Morgans arrested and hanged by me more than 20 years ago?"
"that..."
Crowe pushed up his glasses and said, "Mr. Clow, back then you ordered that there should be freedom of the press. This is just a private newspaper, so as long as it does not violate the regulations, you basically follow him."
"Really? I don't remember. I'm not in charge now. I've been retired for more than ten years... I don't even know how to flatter this kind of newspaper. Is the head writer still thinking about thirty years ago? That's what he said It's all bullshit. I've stressed it over and over again. You must seek truth from facts and don't engage in such vain talk. It's obvious that we won power by force. Why do you think I'm destined to save the world? This kind of thinking is not allowed. Go check it out. , a warning is a warning.”
Qrow said pointing at the newspaper.
"Yes, Mr. Clow..."
"Well... by the way, what are you here for? The government has nothing for you to do, right?" Qrow asked.
Crowe pursed his lips and said: "The reason why Head Cass asked me to come is..."
"I'm retiring, Chloe, look at me, I'll say it again, I'm retiring!"
Crow put down the newspaper, stared up at Crow, and said: "It's endless, isn't it? I'm over sixty, I should retire anyway. How old are you all? Do you still need me to host? Why did you say that you would be able to realize this ideal? I had already laid the groundwork for you, but you still come to me and ask me what you want to eat!"
Crowe tilted his head back, his eyes complicated.
Are you over sixty?
Your appearance hasn't changed since then, right?
The same goes for that one...
This youth remains forever, as if frozen.
That one also looks like a little girl.
On the contrary... He himself is over seventy years old. Although the fruits of the animal system have given him strong physical qualities, he still looks like a middle-aged man, but he is getting old, and the years have left their mark on him. trace.
The passage of time has caused their positions to change.
More than ten years ago, Clow stepped down from the position of head of state, and was replaced by Navy Marshal Kass. He was also promoted as Chief of General Staff and became the Chief of General Staff of the World Government, cooperating with Kass to manage the sea. .
But they still want Kuro to come back. After all, this person is like the Dinghai Shenzhen. If he can come back, they will feel a lot more at ease.
"The main reason is that there are some problems that we don't know how to deal with, so we..."
"If you can't handle it, just try and make mistakes. How can it be so easy to govern the whole world? What I say will definitely work? Don't be afraid of making mistakes. You can correct them. How can you govern such a large place without making mistakes?"
"Aren't you self-proclaimed spiders who weave order? The organization has expanded so much, how many people are there? There must be five million people. Show your backbone, otherwise, one day I will be gone or you will be gone. , Do you still want to summon my dead soul?!" Kuro cursed.
"Yes, I know Mr. Kuro, I will bring this to President Cass..."
Crowe pursed his lips and said: "In addition, there is something else that requires your authorization. Mr. Porusalino seems to be about to... Do you want to find his fruit?"
These words gave Kuro a pause. He was stunned for a long time, exhaling smoke from the cigar he was biting, and then sighed: "Let Moore find it. Try to find it as much as possible. If he is eaten by someone, let him join the navy." , cultivate slowly. Shining Fruit, Rock Berry Fruit, and Frozen Fruit. These three fruits will be exclusive to the Navy from now on. Find a way to take them back...Have you found the Dark Fruit?"
"We are still trying our best to find it." Crow hesitated, "Mr. Clow, after all, that is a fruit with a bad reputation. There are Rocks and Teach behind it... Do you really want to recycle it?"
"The older you get, the muddier your brain becomes, right?"
Kuro glared at him, "There's nothing good or bad about power. It all depends on how you use it. If you get the Dark Fruit, you can independently recycle those important fruits that have been eaten. It's better to control them in our hands than to control them." The unstable factor is much better. You can't expect Lida to open the bag. You see, she has only one out in so many years, and she found it by herself. "
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Clow..."
"Okay, go back if you have nothing to do. It doesn't matter if you come here every two days. I'm just a commoner now. If you annoy me again, be careful I beat you." Kuro waved his hand angrily. .
Do ordinary people dare to attack the Chief of Staff of the World Government?
Crowe twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to retaliate. He couldn't hold back a retort a year ago, and was forced to lie in bed for more than half a month after being trained for a long time.
"Yes, then I will..."
"Dad!"
Crowe was about to leave when suddenly a loud shout came from the door.
I saw a boy with a strong body and a look somewhat similar to Kuro running over. His face was excited, like a moving orangutan. He spread his legs and stretched out his hands, revealing a mouthful. White Fang: "Give me the money!"
Although this man looked similar to Qrow, he was... bald.
He did not inherit Kuro's black hair, nor did he inherit his white hair. It was as if black and white were neutralized and then neutralized until they disappeared.
"Forehead..."
After he finished speaking, he saw the person standing next to his father and said hello: "It's Grandpa Crow, hello!"
grandfather...
Crowe twitched his lips, "I am the same generation as my dad."
He smiled and said, "It's Noah. I haven't seen him for a year."
"Is it that long? Forget it, it's not important. Dad will give me the money." Noah continued to reach out to Kuro.
Qrow frowned, "How much does it cost?"
Noah thought for a while and stretched out a finger, "Well... ten million Baileys."
"How many?!"
Kuro's voice rose, "Ten million?! What do you want this money for? No! You and I couldn't even tear your bones apart and it's not even 10 million!"
"No? Forget it..."
Noah thought for a while, seemed not to care, turned around and ran away.
"Well, Noah..."
Crowe waved at this time and said: "Grandpa didn't bring you a gift this time. I'll give you a check from the money exchange. You can exchange it for 10 million."
"Hey! Really?!"
Noah turned his head with bright eyes and said, "Great! Then I will have ten million!"
Qrow glanced at Crowe, but didn't stop him.
It's impossible to say that he has no money. His business is now a big one, but paying taxes on time is not exploitative. It's within the legal scope. It's just that boys have to be poor, especially a fool like his son.
As for Crowe, he had accumulated a lot of wealth from fighting pirates for so many years, and he seemed to have invested in his business back then.
"Forget it, I have grown up and I should experience something. Ten million is ten million, but what do you want the money for?" Cullo asked.
Noah bared his teeth and said loudly, "Buy a boat!"
“What are you buying a boat for?”
Noah smiled and turned his back to the sun, which seemed to shine all over him, especially his bald head, which was even more shining.
"Be the Pirate King!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings seemed to be quiet.
As soon as Crowe took out the check from his arms, his movement of handing it forward immediately stopped there, motionless.
Kuro's brows stood up and veins popped out on his forehead. He stared at the big shining head and tried his best to smile: "Tell me again, what kind of king do you want to be?"
"One Piece!"
"I think, why don't you change your vocabulary and become an adventurer or something." Qrow almost said the words through his teeth.
"No! I want to be the Pirate King!"
Noah didn't feel the seriousness of the situation at all, and said with yearning in his eyes: "That's what Roger said, and what Monkey D. Luffy said, One Piece! Find the great secret treasure and become the freest man in the sea. !!”
The veins on Qrow's forehead got bigger.
"Well, Noah..."
Crow wiped the cold sweat from his face and asked, "Grandpa Crow..."
"Huh?!" Qrow looked at Crowe.
"No, um, Uncle Crow, why don't you want to be a pirate?"
"It's the Pirate King!"
"Yes, yes, why do you want to be the Pirate King?"
"Um..."
Noah touched his chin, put on an expression similar to Kuro's, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly bared his teeth and said, "Because of interest!"
Click!
There was an explosion. Crow stood up and stretched out his hand to take the autumn water with the scabbard hanging next to him. He pointed at Noah and said fiercely: "Crow, catch him! I won't catch him today." His legs were broken! He was so interested in it, I will teach you today what it means to beat someone out of interest!!"
"Hey, dad, what are you doing! If you keep doing this, I'll fight back. Don't think I can't beat you, oh, ah!!!"
In the peaceful town of Shields, there was a loud sound that had not been made for many years.
Amid the snapping sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh, there seemed to be an unyielding cry.
"I want to be the Pirate King out of fun!!!"
