One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

In response, Kuzan calmly said to the scholars, hands in their pockets, "Don't worry! I stopped dealing with these scholars. I didn't freeze them completely like I did with the seagulls. I just put them in hot water for half an hour, and they'll recover in no time..."

"You monster!"

After realizing that resistance was ineffective, the scholars could only complain angrily to Kuzan.

It was only after Kuzan completely controlled the Tree of Omniscience that the naval warships, which had initially only surrounded Ohara without taking further action, finally docked...

A total of ten naval warships were deployed for this operation, but fewer than three hundred naval personnel accompanied them! That means each warship had fewer than thirty men, and they carried no ammunition or heavy weapons…

As Kuzan said, they came to Ohara to convey the benevolence of the World Government and to deliver the good news of peace!

Therefore, anyone who dares to resist is a bastard who intends to disregard the safety of civilians and arbitrarily start a war. Then be prepared to accept his counterattack called burning justice!

Meanwhile, these naval soldiers did not carry any weapons when they landed; instead, they carried one small cart after another. They ignored the towns on Ohara Island and headed straight for the Tree of Omniscience in the center of Ohara...

"What are you doing?"

Dr. Clover, who had been calm and composed all along, finally lost his composure when he saw the marines pulling carts into the Tree of Knowledge. He looked at Kuzan with a flustered expression and asked him a question.

"Do you even need to ask?"

"Of course, all this sinful knowledge must be disposed of legally..."

"Don't worry! The knowledge you've gained over the years won't be wasted..."

"All the knowledge contained here will be sent to the safest place in the world, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise! ​​It will be directly kept by the World Government to prevent evil people from taking control and causing harm to the world..."

Kuzan, hands in his pockets, looked at Dr. Clover and said coldly.

"As for you..."

"Everyone on the entire island of Ohara has been sentenced to ten years in prison!"

"Because there are simply too many people on the island, the government has decided to imprison all of you on the spot..."

"In other words, from today onwards, until the ten-year deadline arrives, not a single fly will be allowed to leave this island!"

Kuzan paused slightly at this point.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Of course, within the boundaries of this island, you are free. You can do whatever you want! I will absolutely not interfere with you..."

"However, the data you research will be periodically collected by the World Government. After screening, the government will publish it in the World Economic Journal. At the same time, some of the books you have plundered from around the world will be provided to people all over the world through a library in the Sabaody Archipelago, free of charge! As for some forbidden knowledge, it will be destroyed directly..."

"Now let me convey the government's message: knowledge is free, it belongs to all the people of the world! You scholars of Ohara, don't try to seize all the world's knowledge and store it all in the Tree of Knowledge under the guise of scholarship..."

"You are thieves of knowledge! You have committed the crimes of possessing knowledge illegally and researching forbidden knowledge without authorization! The government has only sentenced you to ten years in prison, which is only because of the difficulty of your research and because you are all renowned scholars..."

"So stop making mistakes and stop causing trouble for others, PhDs!"

Kuzan looked at Dr. Clover and pronounced his verdict.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no..."

"Now we're really the bad guys!"

Dr. Clover was a smart man, much smarter than Kuzan, so when he heard Kuzan's words, his face turned deathly pale...

From this day forward, how will these scholars from Ohara be viewed in the eyes of the world? They will be branded as robbers and thieves who monopolize knowledge. The credibility of Ohara will collapse instantly. From now on, the world will subconsciously despise anything spoken by scholars from Ohara, even if it is the truth. People will angrily say, "This knowledge was originally given to us by the government for free! It was the scholars from Ohara who monopolized it, and now they're using the guise of 'for our own good' to make it public? Aren't they just trying to become famous? A bunch of academic scum and garbage!"

"Public opinion! I underestimated public opinion..."

Clover sat down on the ground in a panic, muttering to himself as if he had committed some terrible mistake and become a sinner for all time.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this, Kuzan immediately gave a cold smile.

Kuzan just felt that Clover had finally admitted her mistake.

Yes, the reason Kuzan was so assertive, taking control of the entire island with overwhelming force and giving no one a chance to resist, is precisely because, from his perspective, he represents absolute justice, and that Ohara was clearly wrong in monopolizing knowledge, and terribly wrong at that…

"The rest is up to you, Borsalino! Please take all the books from Ohara, and that girl, to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise..."

After Kuzan finished doing all this, he turned to a man on the naval warship, wearing a cowboy hat and with a cigarette in his mouth, and asked him for a favor.

"Leave it to me~"

Borsalino, hands in his pockets, spoke calmly.

Yes, for this operation, the government directly dispatched two admiral candidates, Kizaru and Aokiji, and each warship also had a vice admiral from the Marine Headquarters accompanying them...

If it weren't for the fact that these warships were not equipped with cannons and were almost all empty, and were specifically used by the government to transport Ohara data, this would be exactly the configuration of the Buster Call.

"Stop smoking! Be careful not to set the documents on fire."

"Those materials are very valuable; they were all illegally looted by scholars from libraries and historical sites all over the world..."

Kuzan pointed to the cigarette Borsalino was holding in his mouth and said softly.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry!"

"My problem, my problem..."

Upon hearing this, Borsalino immediately extinguished the cigarette he was holding.

After Borsalino extinguished his cigarette, he stood on the deck, leading the fully loaded naval warships towards Marineford, the naval headquarters...

"Then what's next!"

Kuzan watched Borsalino leave before turning around.

Behind Kuzan were three hundred elite naval soldiers who had disembarked from the warship. These soldiers and Kuzan had other tasks ahead of them: to establish a naval branch directly on Ohara Island and to manage and imprison the scholars of Ohara.

That same night, Borsalino left Ohara with these documents.

An urgent newspaper report shocked the entire world!

Shocking! Ohara, the Island of Knowledge, is actually an Island of Thieves! The number of books they've stolen from the library is countless!

According to a recent investigation by the World Government, Ohara, known as the Island of Knowledge, began destroying and looting books from libraries and historical sites around the world more than a decade ago! This has caused a knowledge deficit in countless countries, forcing scholars worldwide to travel to Ohara to obtain the knowledge they desire! Now, the World Government has finally intervened, liberating the knowledge that rightfully belongs to all people from the hands of Ohara!

In response, the world's highest authority, the Minister of Justice Topman Vaucioli, one of the Five Elders, stated: "Knowledge is free! It does not belong to any one person or any group in this world! Knowledge belongs to all the people of the world! No one can seize our knowledge for any reason; that is a crime! Not even the scholars of Ohara can..."

Chapter 58 I'm afraid that if he can't have me, he'll set his sights on my daughter.

"Ohara is destroyed!"

The next day, when Dr. Clover saw the newspaper in Kuzan's hands, this old man, who had been strong his whole life, who had never been afraid even when faced with a blockade by ten warships from the World Government, wept...

Two lines of clear tears slid down Dr. Clover's cheeks. The physical Buster Call was terrifying, but the mental Buster Call was even more terrifying!

The World Government did not harm anyone in Ohara. They did not even fire a single cannonball at Ohara. They simply took away Ohara's books and branded all the scholars of Ohara with a mark of shame, nailing them to the pillar of disgrace.

However, Dr. Clover didn't even know how to refute it, after all, it was true that the O'Hara scholars' team had traveled to libraries around the world to collect books, as reported in the newspapers...

It's even true that some people, in pursuit of knowledge, have forcibly seized controlled books that are subject to government oversight in some countries...

It's true that the Ohara archaeological team illegally entered a famous historical site that the world government forbids people from setting foot in...

In other words, all the charges against the Ohara scholars listed above are true.

Dr. Clover never expected that the World Government would not mention a word about their research on the Void Century, but instead would list and publicize the seemingly minor offenses they committed while scavenging archaeological books from all over the world in order to successfully understand the Void Century.

However, whatever the reason, the crimes committed by O'Hara are real.

The government didn't wrong them at all, which is what hurts Clover the most.

"Damn Ohara!"

"I told you long ago that these scholars are not good people..."

"They actually want to monopolize knowledge? To make people all over the world have to go to Ohara to learn? What a joke! Knowledge is free, knowledge belongs to the world!"

"Down with the evil Ohara! Destroy these criminals of knowledge!"

"Huh? The government only sentenced the Ohara scholars to ten years in prison? Are you kidding me? These damned intellectual criminals should be hanged immediately!"

"Long live the World Government! Long live the Five Elders, Topman Worcioli!"

When newspapers filled the world, the winds of the sea changed...

the other side.

"call……"

Char stood on the deck of the warship, silently smoking a cigar. He handed the newspaper in his hand to Dol beside him and said softly, "Give this newspaper to Nico Olvia in the cabin. Now it's up to her to decide. I believe she will make the right choice."

After Char finished speaking, he headed to the nearest town under the protection of a group of CP0 members.

The moment Char stepped into the town, the entire street had already been cleared away by government officials, the vendors had all closed their shops, and on both sides of the street were smiling people.

"Ha ha……"

To this, Xia simply smiled faintly. With a polite smile on his face, he stood on the open-air carriage, waving to the surrounding crowd and softly saying, "Please, people of the world, trust our government. Knowledge always belongs to the people!"

"what!!!"

As Char slid down, the frenzied shouts echoed in his ears.

"These ignorant masses are so damn noisy..."

Char was indignant about this, but he was a professional at putting on a show.

The reporters arranged by Char had already taken a series of photos of him from his side. The photos did not show Char's face, only his profile, so that people could see that he was a Celestial Dragon wearing a bulky Celestial Dragon suit.

The title is simply "The Celestial Dragons Love Their People Like Their Own Children!"
