Chapter 364 The King’s Shichibukai System
"What?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Unanimous doubts sounded from all over the palace.
Even the bearded Five Old Stars, who had been silent all this time, looked at the bald Five Old Stars who spoke in great surprise.
"Using pirates to control pirates? What kind of whimsical idea is this?!"
"This is not a joke!"
The bald five-old star pushed up his glasses and said calmly.
"Ever since Shanks formed the so-called 'Red Haired Pirates', I have had a general idea."
The Supreme Five Stars, who stand at the center of power of the world government, possess little-known secret information on this sea.
One of them was the [Valley of the Gods Incident] more than twenty years ago!
In 1484 AD, the Rocks Pirates, headed by Rocks D. Gibek, led Edward Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, Charlotte Lingling and other famous and powerful crews, towards the supreme He launched an attack on the forbidden land [Valley of the Gods], intending to massacre all the Celestial Dragons living in that holy land, and wanted to use this to rule the sea.
But the "unstoppable attack of the evil legion" was "stopped by a Vice Admiral named [Garp]"! ! (Original words from Buddha's Warring States Period)
Since then, Garp has been known as the "Naval Hero".
What the world doesn’t know is that in the original [Battle of the Valley of the Gods], the Roger Pirates, led by the future Pirate King Gol D. Roger, also made an extremely significant contribution!
What is even less well-known is that after the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, there were two more baby crew members in the Roger Pirates!
"Shanks...Roger..."
Wulaoxing, who was wearing a black hat and braided hair, subconsciously reached out and touched the scar on his forehead, with flashes of memories flashing in his eyes.
This black hat star who is in charge of the laws of the world government was the one who witnessed the [Battle of the Valley of the Gods]!
The scar on his forehead was left by the crew of the Rocks Pirates during the battle at that time!
Not only that.
Compared with several other five-old stars who are in good health, this black-hatted five-old star can walk every day and even needs crutches!
These are also the indelible injuries left over from the original Battle of the Valley of the Gods.
Otherwise, how could this extremely noble body of the Five Elders, the highest power of the world government, suffer such serious damage?
"Shanks's mind has been severely poisoned by Roger!"
The bald five-old star said in a solemn tone.
"Even we can't forcefully change his mind."
"However, as Shanks is, we cannot treat him as an ordinary pirate!"
"After all, he is also one of the Celestial Dragons!" (Note)
There was silence in the gorgeous palace. No one refuted the words of the bald Five Old Stars. The rest of them frowned slightly and fell into thinking.
The five old black hat stars who had some involvement with the Roger Pirates asked.
"Tell me what you just thought, use pirates to control pirates..."
The five old black hat stars paused slightly and considered.
"Actually, we cannot deny that not all pirates like to do evil. From a legal point of view, many people go to sea and become pirates. In fact, they are forced to do so under special circumstances-"
The Bald Five Old Star interrupted the Black Hat Five Old Star's chatter.
After working together for many years, the other five old stars naturally understand the attitude of this black hat five old star.
One thing is almost universally accepted.
The Black Hat Five Old Stars have the most peaceful and tolerant attitude towards pirates among the five Five Old Stars.
As long as the bottom line is not involved!
Even the will and attitude of the five old Black Hat stars have been implemented into the legal departments of the Navy and the World Government.
If anyone pays careful attention, they will find that compared to other institutions, the legal department of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters is already a relatively enlightened institution!
"We can consider it comprehensively with reference to a certain pirate's specific status, strength, influence and other factors."
Bald Five Old Star said.
"Only big pirates who are well-known or powerful enough to frighten other pirates are qualified to be recognized by the World Government."
"How to judge specifically?"
The five old black hat stars asked persistently.
"I think your way of thinking is quite subjective and vague, and you don't have the qualifications-"
A streak of blue veins appeared on the forehead of the bald Five Old Star, and he unknowingly tightened his grip on the handle of the katana in his hand.
The square-faced five-old star stepped forward to smooth things over.
"As for the specific assessment method, let's put it aside for now."
The square-faced five-old star said.
"This system is just a discussion for the time being, and it still needs a vote of five people to confirm whether it should continue to be implemented."
"Vote!"
The bald five-star exhaled a foul breath and was the first to vote in favor.
"I support the implementation of this system."
"I veto."
The goat-bearded Five Old Stars in charge of historical affairs said calmly.
"Although Shanks' child has a special status, throughout the history of the sea, there has never been a premise of using pirates to control pirates! This kind of thing is really ridiculous!"
"I support it."
The bearded Five Old Stars in charge of political affairs touched his beard and said calmly.
"There are some things that are not good for the government to intervene in. We can recruit those powerful pirates and require them to obey our orders with rights such as legal robbery. It would be nice to have a few more pairs of gloves like this Okay.”
"I veto."
Unexpectedly, the five old Black Hat stars, who have always been more enthusiastic about this matter, actually voted against it.
"The law needs a bottom line. Let pirates govern pirates, haha..."
Four people voted, with equal votes for and against.
The final decision was left to the blond, square-faced five-old star.
Looking around, the blond Five Old Star slowly expressed his decision.
"I support it."
Among the five people, three voted in favor and two voted against, the result is decided!
The bald five-old star suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and with renewed energy, he continued to talk about his next plan.
"After accepting the recruitment of the World Government, neither the World Government nor the Navy Headquarters will continue to pursue all the crimes they have committed before."
Bald Five Old Star said.
"No matter how high the bounty this pirate had before, we can ignore it, and we can also spread this benefit to the pirate's team members."
The five old black hat stars shook their heads and sighed slightly: "It's really hard work..."
Almost everything about this system formulated by the Bald Five Stars with Shanks as the starting point is to protect each other.
At the very least, don't let those in the World Government or the Navy Headquarters who don't know the real situation interfere with Shanks' actions!
The blond Five Old Star asked a crucial question.
"How to judge the minimum strength of pirate candidates for this system?"
The bald Five Old Star touched his chin and thought for a moment.
Then.
He said these words with a very consistent understanding of Wulaoxing.
"No matter what, you must have a record of fighting against the top pirates in the New World, right?"
Bald Five Old Star said.
"For the time being, we will target those pirates who have had experience fighting against Whitebeard Edward Newgate, BIGMOM Charlotte Lingling, and Kaido Kaido!"
Thank you very much to "Tian Shou Qi Dao" for the 100 starting coin reward! !
Regarding Shanks’ [Celestial Dragon] identity, it is just a setting in this book, and everyone can also regard it as evidence waiting for Oda to slap him in the face.
The guessed sources are as follows.
1: This is also the [only] original source of this speculation.
That is, two years after the Supreme War, Shanks came to [MaryJoa] as the [Yonko], and was able to talk directly to the [Five Old Stars], and the other party was still willing to talk.
Personally, I think that this alone can confirm that Shanks definitely has an extraordinary identity.
2: Shanks’ birth date is in [1483 years of the Haiyuan calendar].
This was one year before the [Battle of the Valley of Gods] broke out. Garp and Roger teamed up to fight against the Rocks Pirates.
According to the Warring States Period, there are many "Celestial Dragons" and "slaves" in the [Valley of Gods].
Judging from Ace's deeds, pirates seem to have a tradition of "tutoring", so it can be roughly regarded as one of the evidences.
3: Shanks has been a crew member of the [Roger Pirates] since he was very young.
Shanks was not like Barrett, who had a powerful talent that was almost [visible to the naked eye]. At that age, the only thing worth being valued by Roger was his bloodline.
4: Shanks snatched the [Rubber Fruit] and was still fine.
This point was recently revealed in comic information, and many readers may find it unfamiliar.
[Rubber Fruit] is special, there is no doubt about it.
There is also a dedicated CP9 member "Fozifu" responsible for escorting, which is of great significance to the world government.
5: People with face fruit abilities are really mysterious...
