Chapter 274 Five Old Stars: Do we still have to beg the White Dragon
Marie Joa, there is a solemn atmosphere among the powers.
The five old stars each expressed their dissatisfaction, but then they didn’t know what to say.
There is also a gap between the Pirate Emperor and the Pirate Emperor!
If we measure it from the dimensions of "power", "territory" and "gang".
White Dragon is no better than the "Old Four Emperors" such as Whitebeard and Hundred Beasts, and he is not even as good as Red-Haired Shanks!
Because this guy has always been operating on the sea as a "lone ranger".
One person and one dragon, traveling around the world.
But if you look at it from the perspective of "personal strength".
The White Dragon can defeat Akainu and Kizaru at the same time on his own...
The navy admirals fought two against one, and even one of them was "counter-killed"...
If we only talk about personal strength.
Wu Laoxing even thinks that Whitebeard, who is recognized by the world as "the strongest man in the sea", may not be Bailong's opponent!
Today’s White Dragon is just like the aloof red back then——
No!
White Dragon is more like a younger, stronger, and more troublesome Aloof Red!
The lonely reds were all sent to Impel Down and imprisoned.
How many times has Bailong entered and exited Impel Down City?
"How did things develop to this point?"
"Akainu! Kizaru! The admiral has turned out to be such a waste!"
"If I had known that the Demon-Slaying Order would fail, it would be better to make a deal with Bailong peacefully..."
"What do you mean by this? Everyone agreed to execute the Demon-Slaying Order against Bailong!" ”
The five old stars are in quite complicated moods now.
"That's enough! Let's stop arguing!"
The God of Scientific Defense, Jaygo Lucia Satan, stamped the floor with his crutch and said in a deep voice.
"Now that the matter has come to this, there is no practical significance if we continue to complain about the incompetence of the navy.
"It is better to discuss how to deal with this 'King Shichibukai' in the future! ”
The King Shichibukai was originally an organization specially established by the World Government.
Now the World Government backstabs an King Shichibukai without hesitation...
Although the world government deals with powerful pirates, there is no problem from the perspective of "justice"
But this operation of the World Government is indeed a slap in the face...
Satan Saint does not want the other colleagues to reflect on their mistakes.
He also agreed to execute the demon-slaying order against Bai Long and send this lawless guy who unscrupulously manipulated the government to Impel Down City and imprison him for life.
Satan Saint means——
“We are now directly revoking White Dragon’s status as King Shichibukai and restoring the reward for him;
"Or... pretend that nothing happened and try to appease and win over Bailong?"
"Forgetting history" is the World Government's specialty.
The five old stars are all very good at it.
"Originally, after capturing Hakuryuu, we planned to remove him from his status as King Shichibukai after a while..."
Nasjuro Sage's brows furrowed tightly. , said with a worried expression.
"After all, in the recent period, members of the King's Shichibukai have had problems one after another...
"Sand Crocodile, Lizard King, Doflamingo... I won't mention these three people.
" Moonlight Moria, Kaixia Jinbei and Kuja Empress...their previous performances were also disappointing.
"The only exception is Hawkeye Mihawk. "
As Nashou Langsheng was talking, he felt something was wrong.
"...Why do I feel that most of the organization under the King's Shichibukai was destroyed by Hakuryuu?
"Who made Hakuryuu the leader of the King's Shichibukai! ? ”
As soon as these words came out, the other four five old stars looked at Nasjuro Sage at the same time.
Isn’t it Nasjuro Sage who suggested inviting Bailong to serve as the King’s Shichibukai? ?
Naturally, Nashou Langsheng noticed the gazes of the other people and closed his mouth angrily
"I think that in a short period of time, there can no longer be turmoil in the Seven Martial Seas under the King."
Legal Martial God, Saint Topman Wuchuli said with a frown.
"The King's Shichibukai was originally a system we established to deter and divide pirates, and also to stabilize the situation in the sea.
"In the past, their performance was okay, but this year's King Shichibukai... it's so disappointing!
“Leave aside trashes such as Sand Crocodile, Kaixia Jinbei, and Empress Nine Snakes who have already failed.
"King of Lizards, Doflamingo...if you include the White Dragon."
"There are only seven Shichibukai kings in total. Do we have to remove three Shichibukai kings in a short period of time?"
"If that happens, this organization will no longer have any deterrent effect, and there is no need to continue to exist!"
The people of the sea will "Navy Headquarters", "One Piece Emperor" " and "The Seven Seas of the King" are regarded as the three major forces of the great sea.
This statement seems ridiculous in the eyes of the five old stars.
Because all the Five Old Stars know how far-fetched this statement is!
The Navy Headquarters and the Pirate Emperor can check and balance each other.
But how can King Shichibukai be compared with the Navy Headquarters and the Pirate Emperor?
Of course.
If only in the eyes of ordinary pirates, the Navy, Yonko, and Shichibukai are indeed similar organizational forces.
It is based on this knowledge.
Only the Shichibukai under the King, who is obviously lacking in strength, can have the prestige to frighten the sea!
No matter how "powerful" the world is, within one year, three members were removed in succession, and the organization was directly dismantled by half...
O Shichibukai's organization has , not to mention that the deterrent effect against ordinary pirates is gone, there is also very little left.
The words of Saint Wuchuli cast a thick layer of gloom in the hearts of the other Five Old Stars.
"Did our demon-slaying order against the white dragon fail this time..." Shepard Ten Pit Saint, the youngest-looking agricultural warrior god, asked in disbelief.
"We still have to let Hakuryu continue to be the King of the Shichibukai? Even...even..."
Even if Hakuryuu is not willing to be the King of the Shichibukai .
The world government still has to coax the other party? Begging the other party to continue to serve?
"What Wuchuli said is right."
Markas Mazsheng said in a low voice.
“Seven kings descend to the Qibuhai.
“If it is just a ‘battle failure’, the impact will not be too great.
“The Lizard King died at the hands of Hakuryu, and we quickly invited Hakuryu to take over as King Shichibukai... This also eliminated the possible negative impact caused by the death of members of King Shichibukai.
"But some time ago, the White Dragon destroyed the Don Quixote family, and the situation in the entire sea became chaotic... We still haven't found Don Quixote Doflamingo's successor.
< br>"If Hakuryuu's status as King Shichibukai is removed at this time, unless we can find a great pirate with a reputation and prestige greater than that of White Dragon to serve as King Shichibukai...
" Otherwise If so, it will be difficult for the people of the world to believe that the King's Shichibukai can stabilize the situation in the sea."
The Five Old Stars are all very aware of the effects of the system of "The King's Shichibukai" on the world government.
Of course, setting up the Shichibukai and allowing pirates to plunder legally... does have a bad impact.
But in terms of practical effects.
After Roger set off the great pirate era.
The emergence of King Shichibukai has indeed stabilized the situation in the sea.
Seven kings descended to the Shichibukai, scattered throughout the Grand Line, to deal with the increasing number of pirates.
Compared to the negative effects, the system of King Shichibukai has more advantages!
At the World Conference six years later in the normal timeline.
Alabasta and Dressrosa jointly put forward the proposal to "abolish the Shichibukai System" and it was adopted by the World Conference.
But tell the truth.
The abolition of the Shichibukai system has nothing to do with the tragic experiences of Alabasta and Dressrosa.
The reason why the World Government abolished King Shichibukai.
It's just because they found a force that is more obedient and more powerful than King Shichibukai——
[Pacifist]!
【Seraph】!
It is not because the World Government really pities the pitiful plight of the Nefertari and Riku clans that it abolished this bad system out of "outrage of kindness".
The fundamental reason why the Shichibukai were abolished is that they were "replaced" by robots such as [Seraph]!
The World Government has better tools, so it no longer needs these evil "legal pirates"!
So the Shichibukai under the King was abandoned directly...
The establishment of the Shichibukai under the King has nothing to do with the joining countries or the navy.
Its abolition naturally has nothing to do with the participating countries and the navy!
But now.
At least during this time.
The World Government will not give up on the organization "The King's Shichibukai" easily.
After some discussion.
The Five Old Stars have roughly determined their intention to "not abolish White Dragon's status as King Shichibukai".
“But having said that...this kind of thing depends solely on the opinions of a few of us..."
The blond-haired Peter Saint said hesitantly.
"Should Hakuryuu's opinion be more important? If Hakuryuu is unwilling to continue to serve as King Shichibukai..."
"So we need to appease him as much as possible now... "
Nashou Langsheng rubbed his temples, showing an expression of headache and physical pain.
“Not only for the survival of the organization Shichibukai, but also to win over Hakuryuu. Don’t forget that Hakuryuu also has Donquixote Doflamingo’s heart in his hand. 'Time bomb'......
"After all, if Akainu and Kizaru could deal with White Dragon, nothing would happen now! Two losers!"
Nasjuro Sei is still dissatisfied with the performance of the two navy admirals.
“We should indeed appease the white dragon!”
Saint Wuchuli said in a deep voice.
"Don't he like Devil Fruits? Then give him more Devil Fruits!
"We do not require Hakuryuu to continue to perform the duties of King Shichibukai as before...
"But even if someone like Hawkeye Mihawk acts as a 'facade sign' in King Shichibukai OK "
Saint Wuchuli's words were recognized by the other Five Old Stars.
Saint Peter was still a little hesitant.
"I don't think this method is effective. The question... is that after what happened this time, will we still have credibility with Bailong? Will Bailong still be willing to believe our terms? ”
This time, under the guise of "deal", the World Government actually executed the demon-slaying order against White Dragon.
This kind of backstab operation has no credibility at all.
Even if placed in the pirate camp, it is extremely despicable!
"So we need to come up with more chips... and find a suitable transaction middleman."
Nasshou Langsheng said in a faint tone.
"For example, Dressrosa... this country is currently the only country that flies the flag of the white dragon."
Saint Peter nodded first, then shook his head.
"If Bailong has other conditions..."
This time.
No one answered the question of the youngest-looking Five Old Stars anymore.
