From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 245: Is being anti-Nefertari equal to political correctness?

The World Conference was held as scheduled the next day.

Admiral Bane was unable to attend the meeting due to injury, but Admiral Sakaski and two other admirals, Borsalino and Yixiao, all attended the meeting.

The first topic that was discussed intensively at the meeting was the Revolutionary Army's rampage in Marijoa and their declaration of war on the Celestial Dragons.

After many discussions at the meeting, the World Government once again defined the Revolutionary Army as a 'terrorist organization'.

But this incident can indeed be considered a terrorist attack. Suddenly using a bomb to blow up Mary Joa, isn't that terrifying enough?

In addition, the campaign against the Revolutionary Army was changed from being led by the CP to being jointly led by the Navy and the CP.

That’s right, before this, although the Revolutionary Army was very fierce, it had never been within the scope of the Navy’s mission and was of a supporting nature. That is, the CP agency was the main force responsible for annihilating the Revolutionary Army, and the Navy only provided certain intelligence and military assistance when necessary.

The navy's main target, from the very beginning, was only pirates.

But now, because the wave of the Great Pirate Era is about to be suppressed by the Navy, the pirates of the New World are seen by the world government as grasshoppers after autumn, and they will not be able to jump for a few more days.

After solving the last scourge of pirates in the New World, the Navy will be able to free up a large amount of combat power from this long-term pirate struggle.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the commotion caused by the revolutionary army, the outcome of this meeting evolved naturally.

The Navy will officially participate in the campaign against the Revolutionary Army, and will no longer play the auxiliary role of the CP in these events as in the past.

There is no doubt that this has greatly weakened the power of the CP organs and further strengthened the power of the navy.

It belongs to the category of "What the East Factory can't handle, we, the West Factory, will handle."

Obviously, this is also a punishment from the World Government for the CP agency's failure to prevent the Revolutionary Army from causing trouble in Marijoa in advance.

Since you CP are so incompetent, let the navy come to help.

The World Conference spent three days discussing this matter alone before making the final decision.

The World Conference then continued to discuss other topics. Among them, what Bane thought was a bit outrageous was that the royal family of Alabasta, the Nefertari clan, publicly proposed at the World Conference that they hoped to completely abolish the Tensho Gold System and put forward a series of tax reforms.

Unfortunately, only Alabasta voted in favor of the proposal this time. The other 49 rotating countries all chose to oppose it, and their opposition was very firm. Each one was more active than the other, as if they were afraid that the Five Elders would regard them as accomplices of Alabasta.

At the end of the meeting that day, when I was chatting with Yixiao and others, I learned about Bane's current situation and was very confused.

"This Alabasta is so brave that he even dares to say such things?" Bane said admiringly.

Yixiao was making tea for herself leisurely, and said with a smile: "I was also shocked when I heard it at first, but when I observed the attitudes of the Five Elders and Mr. Sakaski, I found that they didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all. Afterwards, I asked the Chief of Staff and found out that this was not the first time Alabasta had mentioned it. Twelve years ago, when Alabasta participated in the World Conference as a rotating country, it mentioned the issue of completely abolishing Tensho Gold."

"All I can say is that the Nefertari clan does have a special status. After all, they are the well-known legitimate descendants of the twenty kings. Although they don't live in Marijoa and become celestial dragons, the glory of their ancestors is here. They dare to say that Marijoa will not do anything to them easily." Smoker said while exhaling smoke, looking as if he was used to it.

"Hahahaha, that makes sense." Bane listened to this and laughed in agreement.

Indeed, the Nefertari clan has the courage and confidence to do so, but the other member states do not have such a deep background as theirs, so how could they dare to make trouble with them? If you dare to follow them and vote in favor today, Nefertari may be fine when she turns around, and your country will just have to wait to become the next target of human hunting.

"No wonder the rest of the allied royal families immediately expressed their opposition. It seems that this is not the first time they have experienced such bad luck." Zoro joked with a smile.

"Perhaps the World Government is also very clear that even if the Nefertari clan brings up this matter a hundred times, it will not have any impact. On the contrary, this kind of vote of opposition can further consolidate the authority of Tianshangjin, so they never care, right?" Ian thought for a while and said.

Thinking about it this way, the Nefertari clan is indeed doing more harm than good.

If he didn't mention it, the World Government could still be considered somewhat 'in the wrong' regarding the matter of Tian Shang Jin. But as soon as he mentioned it, there were forty-nine votes against it in a meeting of the highest legal authority, the World Congress. What does this mean?

This shows that the member states all "love" this policy!

We implement it because you love us, so what's wrong with that?
Sometimes political games are just so outrageous. Without dwelling on this topic for too long, Bane soon asked, "Tomorrow's topic is the proposal by our navy to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act, right? How do you think?"

"At the end of today's meeting, Mr. Sakaski and I had some communications with many of the members of the royal families, especially the Nefertari clan. Because they were once harmed by Crocodile for a long time, they hate the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. When His Majesty Cobra heard that our navy intended to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he expressed his position on the spot and said that he would firmly support us tomorrow." Yixiao said after taking a sip of tea.

But after he finished speaking, he said with a guilty conscience: "To be honest, this matter is basically a sure thing, but His Majesty Cobra said that he would fully support our navy. I feel a little unsure, for fear that tomorrow he will raise his hand and there will be another 49 votes against."

As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, everyone else present couldn't help but laugh.

The Nefertari clan is also crazy. They have turned this World Conference into this state, as if opposing Alabasta's proposal is politically correct.

No matter what he says, just oppose it!

"Don't worry." Chief of Staff Ahe waved his hand and said, "Sakaski has already confirmed this with the Five Elders, and they will hint to everyone to vote in favor. This bill to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea is what everyone expects, whether it is for the Navy, the Allied Nations, or the World Government, so don't worry."

"Come to think of it, it seems that Dressrosa was originally one of the rotating countries this year, right?" Zoro suddenly asked.

"That's true. Dressrosa was originally one of the rotating countries this year, but because Bane destroyed Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Isalia took its place in the end." Smoker said immediately.

"If this accident hadn't happened, wouldn't Doflamingo be able to come to Marijoa and participate in the World Conference openly as a member of the Royal Family?" Zoro said in surprise.

Chief of Staff Ahe nodded calmly and said, "There is no problem with the process. This kind of scenario may indeed occur at that time."

"He is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What a pity, Bane, if you hadn't killed him, maybe we could have seen the exciting scene of Doflamingo's verbal battle with the kings tomorrow. After all, he can't possibly agree to the plan to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act, right?" Zoro said with some regret.

Bane???

Why didn’t I expect there would be such a famous scene?
Speaking of which, in the original story, Doflamingo also collapsed on the eve of the World Conference. He was unable to return to Marijoa openly and redeem himself as a young man. What a pity.

Just as everyone was discussing these messy things and laughing from time to time, Bane's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

Nami quickly took out the Den Den Mushi from her plump valley, took a glance at it, and said in a strange tone: "It's Mr. Garp."

"How dare he contact me? He doesn't even know how much I got scolded by the commander-in-chief because he ran away!" Bane cursed, and at the same time reached out to take the Den Den Mushi. He didn't hide anything and answered it in front of everyone, "What are you doing!?"

His tone was very impatient, but Garp on the Den Den Mushi side didn't care. Instead, he said anxiously: "Something bad is happening, Bane!"

His shout startled Ben, who quickly sat up straighter and asked, "What happened? Did Big Mom and the others call?"

"No, Luffy is missing! I just returned to the Marine Headquarters today, but I found that Luffy, who was supposed to be lying in bed recovering from his injuries, is missing!" Garp said in a very worried tone, "According to his injuries, it is impossible for him to get out of bed. The military doctor also said that he came to change his medicine five days ago and confirmed that he could not move. But he is missing now. I suspect he was kidnapped."

Bane was also very surprised. Is there really such a thing as destiny?
"Who do you suspect?" Ben asked quickly.

"Who else could it be? It had to be that damn guy Dragon!? Why did the rest of them have nothing better to do than kidnap my grandson? And this incident happened during the World Conference. Almost all the admirals of our Marine Headquarters went to Marijoa, so the headquarters was empty. The Revolutionary Army had also attacked Marijoa before. If they took Luffy away as well, it would be reasonable, wouldn't it?" Garp said swearingly.

After hearing this, Bane thought about it and it made sense. Apart from Dragon, his biological father, who else could go to the Marine Headquarters to kidnap Luffy, a guy who has no fame at all?

But on second thought, Bane's expression suddenly became serious. Something was wrong. In addition to Dragon, there might also be the World Government?

He didn't have the energy to pay attention to this matter before, so he didn't think much about it, but the fact that Garp's eldest grandson ate the rubber fruit is no longer a secret within the navy. Many generals even joked that if the other party hadn't eaten the rubber fruit, given the frequency of Vice Admiral Garp's domestic violence, his eldest grandson should have been beaten to death long ago.

Thinking about it this way, the world government is very likely aware of this situation. Can the Five Elders let this go?
After all, the Rubber Fruit is something that is being closely investigated by the world's government! ?
At the same time, Bane suddenly remembered that the Five Elders had told him before that when he joined the Celestial Dragons, he would no longer be suitable to continue being an admiral of the navy, and before that, there was a very important thing he needed to do.

At that time, they didn't talk about this matter and Bane didn't think much about it. But when something happened to Cap, Bane immediately made the connection.

Could it be that the Five Elders kidnapped Luffy? And they plan to let me use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to take out the Nika Fruit from that kid?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Bane remained calm on the surface and said, "Don't think about it for now. Let's meet after the World Conference is over."
