Chapter 388: Killing and Punishing the Heart
Abolish the slave trade?
When they heard White Ghost's first request, all the sailors present were moved and looked at this notorious pirate with great shock.
[Justice] is the word engraved on the back of every general-level navy, and it is also the concept they always pursue.
Even if their clothes are blown off in battle, the pure white cloak of justice behind them will never be blown away!
This is the will from the world!
However, there are indeed many things on this sea that can shake the justice of the navy.
And not just from hostile pirates.
More often than not, it comes from a world government that is absurd and unethical, and even aids in tyranny.
And the chief of all evils is the world's nobles who are above all laws - the Celestial Dragons!
besides.
The evil and dirty slave trade is also despised and even hated by many navies!
I didn’t expect that a great pirate like White Phantom would make such a request that was extremely in line with [justice] after enslaving the Tianlong people!
However, when Adrian made his second request.
The admiration of the navy for the white ghost on the field instantly turned into "it is not unreasonable for this guy to become a pirate"...
"Marshal Kong! We can't agree to him!"
"How could the Admiral admit defeat to a mere pirate?!"
"Stop dreaming! Even if the navy drains the last drop of its blood, it will never compromise with evil!"
A group of marines were excited and began to speak frantically in the direction of the white ghost.
Several years later, Kuzan, who had been freed from the confused period of the O'Hara incident and switched from [Burning Justice] to [Lazy Justice], looked at Sora with the same serious expression.
"Marshal, the first point raised by White Ghost, as a navy, there is no reason to reject it."
The expression on Kuzan's face at this time was not laziest at all, but full of seriousness.
"But the second point, absolutely not!"
How could Kong not know?
The navy can have marshals who died in battle.
But there must never be a marshal who is defeated, or even takes the initiative to admit defeat to the pirates!
If he really complied with White Ghost's request.
Don’t say anything else.
The authority that the Navy has established over the past 800 years can basically be regarded as being trampled into the mud by pirates!
It was the navy marshal who begged and begged the pirates to step on it!
Adrian was not in a hurry, and just maintained his imposing villain attitude, stepping on the Tianlong man's head leisurely and waiting for the reply from the navy below.
No.
Almost forgot again.
The navy does not have the ability to decide the life or death of a Celestial Dragon on its own.
Now we are waiting for Wulaoxing’s reply!
Adrian directly rejected the previous generous transaction conditions and put forward these two new requirements, each with their own potential significance.
The first requirement is never about gaining a good reputation.
More importantly, it was for the S-level random mission [Mermaid's Wail] that was triggered when I first arrived at Fish-Man Island a few years ago!
After spending the past two years constantly fighting against pirates and slave traders who wanted to kidnap the mermaids as slaves in the Fish-Man Island, Adrian also came to understand one fact.
I want to complete this S-rank mission.
It is simply impossible just through his personal efforts!
White Ghost's flag and name are enough to scare 99% of the pirates on this sea.
But there are still one percent of pirates who are willing to risk going to Fish-Man Island to plunder the pirates, attracted by the huge sum of Bailey!
In this case, the only way is to cut it off from the source!
But after living on this sea for nearly ten years, Adrian knew one thing very well. The extinction of slavery could not be accomplished in a short time. What built it was a complete and complete industrial chain!
Even if the world government wants to completely destroy the slavery system, the pressure and difficulties it will face are beyond imagination.
At the very least.
One Tianlong is definitely not enough!
This is also the reason why Adrian proposed the [three-year period]!
It is impossible to completely abolish slavery.
But at the level of a world government, it is completely possible to temporarily stop the slavery system!
As for the second requirement.
In addition to trying to trigger Sora's S-class challenge mission and gain access to the special abilities of this former navy marshal who was unremarkable in the original work.
more important purpose.
Or for the shrimp and pig heart——
It is to sow discord between the World Government and the Navy Headquarters!
And Adrian had done something like this more than once.
The last time he landed on the Shampoo Islands, the veteran actor Polusalino felt the pain of being treated as an outcast by the World Government.
I don’t know if this guy is still working conscientiously while drinking tea and fishing...
But this time, Adrian set his sights on the Admiral!
Offending the majesty of the Celestial Dragons will inevitably lead to the dispatch of the Navy Headquarters Admiral. This is Dahai's tacit rule.
No matter it's [Buddha's Warring States Period] or [Black Wrist Zefa].
As long as they become the final winner of the Draco slave auction, Adrian will make the exact same surrender request to either of them!
And with the support of the World Government regardless of losses, it is almost certain that the navy will defeat the pirates and obtain the final auction rights!
Adrian originally hoped that the one who came would be [Black Wrist Zefa].
After all, among the many senior leaders of the Navy, only this retired general who quietly teaches and educates people and cultivates the elite backbone of the Navy has not been formally contacted.
And compared to [Buddha's Warring States Period] who has been away all year round, Zefa is obviously more popular among the elites of the navy.
If this navy instructor directly admits defeat to the pirates, it will definitely shake the loyalty of a large number of navy to the World Government.
But what Adrian didn't expect was that this incident would directly lead to the Admiral of the Navy being brought out!
However, this situation would be better.
In such a large navy, except for [Hero Garp], no one's prestige can be compared with that of the contemporary marshal!
Even the two generals are the same!
The marshal of the Navy Headquarters took the initiative to admit defeat to the pirates, and it was also due to the strong interference from government factors outside the field.
The negative chain reaction that such a situation can cause is definitely not comparable to that of a mere naval admiral!
Under the auction stage.
Sora's expression changed countless times in just a short moment.
The justice of the navy, the compromise with the pirates, the majesty of the Five Old Stars, the lives of the Celestial Dragons...
A series of short thematic sentences kept circling in his mind, tangled into a dead mess.
At this moment, the deputy commander of CP0, ‘Desolate Eagle’, raised the phone bug in his hand neatly. The face that symbolized the Five Old Stars said three words in a short and cold voice.
"Promise him!"
"I——"
Marshal Kong was about to speak but stopped.
"Sora! I'm just admitting defeat, but I'm not asking you to die!"
The face of the five old stars on the phone bug looks cold and cruel.
"Take out the confidence you had in recommending White Phantom to become the Shichibukai!"
With a snap, the phone was hung up directly.
Before hanging up, I could even hear a faint sentence: "Just a domestic dog..."
Kong's eyes were red, and his body made of steel swayed for a moment before he stepped forward extremely heavy.
"White ghost!"
The navy marshal raised his head and looked at the unscrupulous pirate on the auction stage, his voice was hard and slow.
"I-I-I give up!"
Boom boom——! ! !
The pirates' excitement, which had been accumulated to the extreme, exploded like a bomb ignited by flames.
Countless pirates looked at White Ghost with such reverence that they seemed to be looking at a god who came from the world!
Morgans' hands trembled with excitement, as if he was suffering from Parkinson's syndrome, but he still did not forget to use the camera phone to record this "strange phenomenon not seen in eight hundred years"!
Adrian smiled softly, raised his right hand, and reached into the void.
With a burst of ripples, the black sword with a warm light like black jade, the second-generation ghost was held out of the void by the white palm, and the tip of the sword flashed with a faint cold light, pointing directly at the navy below. marshal.
"Sora, you haven't defeated me yet, and you want to admit defeat?"
Well...
Another situation where I wake up and owe more.
The accumulated monthly votes exceed 500.
The cumulative rewards exceed 1.2w.
Still owe 36 updates.
