One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Of course, I believe that you cannot make the decision on your own."

"But there is one thing. I have said that anyone who does not come to this party is not giving me face. But I see that the seats are not full."

Carsent looked at the empty space below, hinting:

"As for the gangs, there were a total of 79 large gangs that were invited, and 23 did not come."

"There are still twelve chambers of commerce and seven non-member countries that have not arrived on time."

Carson calculated it in his mind and felt that this number was just right.

If there are too few, it will not achieve the purpose of establishing authority. If there are too many, it will shake the foundation of the West Sea and bring certain difficulties to subsequent governance and restoration.

"I am not an unreasonable person. After all, the Navy and the government have not said that refusing an invitation is illegal. I will not do that."

"As for those who didn't come, I will follow the handling methods in the "Government's Regulations on Governing Public Security Around the World" to deal with the gangs. Nothing is illegal, and I will never wrongly accuse any good person."

"I am truly merciful enough!"

Those who don't come will be destroyed directly. This is what happened to Charlotte Lingling's tea party.

Carsent represents the navy and the world government and is the ruler of the lawful side, so naturally he cannot act as he pleases.

However, upon hearing Carson's "merciful" approach, many representatives of the mafia forces gasped.

You want to talk about the law with the gangsters? Once that set of laws comes out, not only the gangsters, but everyone here will be charged with a capital crime.

Why are gangs called "black" gangs instead of "white" gangs? Isn't it because of the means behind the scenes? They don't fight or smash, steal or rob, but rely on peaceful negotiations to gain benefits.

The world government has learned the hard way about widespread lawbreaking and selective law enforcement.

This law is here. When I don't care about you, it is just a piece of waste paper. But if I want to deal with you at any time, this law will be my greatest source of legitimacy.

As if he didn't notice the reaction from the people below, Carsent continued:

"As for the Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom, the Navy is not responsible for this, so it is difficult to handle."

"But I heard that Tianjin Chamber of Commerce and Shengdun Chamber of Commerce are about to expand their business to the West Sea. What happens then will not be something I can control."

After these words were spoken, it was the Chamber of Commerce representative's turn to have a headache.

The gangsters seemed to understand what was said, but the chamber of commerce managers knew what it meant.

The competition between Tianjin and Shengdun is like a large meat grinder. Everything around will be drawn into the competition and then brutally crushed.

For example, there are a total of 20 to 30 large chambers of commerce in the West Sea. If Tianjin and Shengdun come in and compete for a year or two, there may be only two or three large and small chambers of commerce left in the West Sea.

Then, these two fiercely competing chambers of commerce not only did not suffer any losses, but their size actually expanded significantly.

However, only a very small number of people, scholars who truly understand the development of the macro-economy, can vaguely see that Tianjin and Shengdun are most likely the two hands of the same force, used to disgust third parties.

If the eldest and the second in command fight, the only one who will suffer is the third party.

"As for the disobedient countries, this is the responsibility of the World Government, not this General."

"The West Sea is huge, so it may take a few days for the navy to report back. By then, you will know whether what I said is true or false."

"But before that, you can discuss with other people in your faction to see whether you should choose to completely join the navy or continue on your previous path."

"The patron you are so proud of will not live long, but after he dies, the price of seeking refuge with him will not be the same anymore."

After leaving a few words, Carsent turned and left, leaving everyone like a frightened bird.

Seeing Carsen leaving, Cotton did not stay long and followed Carsen away quickly.

"General, is this too strong today?"

Keton asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, as long as you show enough strength, they will naturally surrender."

"The price of stubborn resistance is to be crushed to pieces, with no remains left. But if they choose to surrender, even if they have to hand over 90% of their property, they will still have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

Carson smiled and said a few words of comfort, knowing that Cotton still hadn't fully reacted.

This kind of thing, only when Cotton sees the results with his own eyes, will he understand what he means.

Compared to the Grand Line, the political environment in the Four Seas region is more complex, but also relatively softer, and conditions must be negotiated here and there.

You know, strength is the solid backing of politics.

In addition, these people work for the King of the West Sea and have to pay a lot, but they are also labeled as traitors.

Seeing that Cotton was about to say something, Carson gave him another shot of adrenaline:

"What they rely on is nothing more than that King of the West Sea. As long as I can completely behead this man under the watchful eyes of the sea, they will naturally surrender."

Carsente chuckled. People are only willing to believe what they see with their own eyes. In that case, Carsente will let them see what real power is.

The fact was just as Carsent had speculated. As the content of the meeting was transmitted back to various forces in the West Sea, the entire sea fell into a strange silence.

It is the oppression of impending storm and the calm before the storm.

Anyone who is even slightly connected has received the news that things are about to change in the West Sea.

At this time, anyone who dares to make any small moves will either be promoted to heaven overnight or be eliminated by the Nine Clans Elimination Chamber.

As such, most of the forces in the West Sea are actually waiting and watching to see whether the navy can fulfill its promise.

……

An island that has been hollowed out, with a magnificent palace beneath the ground.

No one would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous deserted island has been completely transformed inside.

What is even more incredible is that this is where the King of the West Sea lives.

"My king, our power is rapidly disintegrating in the West Sea. We must avoid the attack or give a reply."

"They are already doubting me, and it will happen again and again. If we face the navy's repeated retreat, the prestige we have worked so hard to build will naturally collapse."

"My king, if you take action, we will no longer be able to stay in the West Sea..."

"No, you are wrong. If I can win, we will be truly qualified to negotiate with the World Government and become the king of the shadow of the West Sea. If we do not challenge the nominal unity of the World Government, the World Government will not pay such a high price to encircle you and me."

"But my king..."

"That's enough. Send me a declaration of war. Five days from now, the central waters of the West Sea will be covered with vast ocean for a thousand miles. Let's fight there."

"As ordered."
