From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Stussy will help give advice, on the one hand because she is not in the navy system, and on the other hand she hopes that Diarmuid can grow faster.

No one is wrong.

At this time, it seemed that Marshal Cyborg, as the commander-in-chief of the navy and an elder, wanted to see Diarmait and the others display their talents. He was willing to give Diarmait and the others a stage to show their abilities in this matter.

Even willing to give up their original plans.

Why is that?

The reason is very simple, because at this time, the marshals and admirals are seeking nothing more than the future of the navy.

And precisely, Diarmuid, Sakaski and others represent the future of the navy.

This is not a contradiction. If Diarmuid, Sakaski and others perform well enough and demonstrate sufficient means and capabilities, then there is nothing wrong with advancing the navy according to their ideas, right?

After all, the times belong to the young!

As long as these senior leaders can provide a safety net for the young people at critical moments, that's all they need to do.

It’s enough to just not let them really fail.

"That's why I have to be a little angry. Otherwise, how can I help them attract attention and pressure..." General Zhan Guo smiled, then followed Marshal Steel Bone to the door of the Five Elders' office.

The two knocked on the door, and when they heard a response from inside, they pushed the door open and walked in.

Right

Chapter 147 How Can the Five Elders Be Waste?! (Part )

Step into the office of the Five Elders.

When the Warring States general took a look, he saw that the five Five Elders were all sitting in their offices.

Before General Warring States and Marshal Steel Bone could speak, the blond boss nodded at them and said, "Are you here? Sit down." Marshal Steel Bone and General Warring States did not say anything polite and sat down on the sofa directly.

Although there were teapots and teacups on the coffee table in front of them, neither of them touched them.

"Take a look." The Bald King among the Five Elder Stars reached out and handed a document to General Warring States and Marshal Steel Bone.

Both General Zhan Guo and Marshal Gang Gu looked a little surprised.

I thought you were here to get criticized, but why are you interested in documents?

Could it be that the document contains a summary of this defeat?

There's no need to show it to us. We already know what happened after we lost the battle.

Although they had a lot of thoughts in their minds, neither of them showed it. They each took a document and started reading.

After a long time, General Zhan Guo raised his head and looked at Marshal Steel Bone beside him, and Marshal Steel Bone looked at the Five Elder Stars.

"Since the mid-1500s, the world situation has been collapsing all the way. Three of the four seas that were originally relatively stable have now collapsed. Only the East China Sea can still be called the Sea of ​​Peace. The new calendar just passed two days ago, and now it is 1503. In the past three years, more than new pirates with bounties of over million have appeared on the sea. Excluding those who have been wiped out by your navy, there are now more than people still active on the sea. More than half of them have even entered the New World and temporarily avoided the attack of your navy..." The blond brother said softly.

Neither Zhan Guo nor Cyborg said anything, as they didn't quite understand what the Five Elders meant.

"In 1500, there were a total of member states under our World Government. But as of yesterday, the number of member states has dropped sharply to . A full member states have withdrawn from the World Government within these three years. Among these member states, were eliminated, and only five were expelled by our World Government. Do you understand the meaning of this?" The bearded Five Elders suddenly spoke.

The number of member states of the World Government has always been fluctuating.

But the range is probably between one hundred and seventy and two hundred.

There will be slight fluctuations in quantity due to various reasons.

For example, if they fail to pay the Tianshang Gold, they will be expelled from the list of member nations, or they may be destroyed by pirates or some other forces.

All are normal.

But in previous years, the fluctuations were not very large, and it never fell below the bottom line of 170.

But now, in early 1503, in just less than three years, the number of member states has dropped by , falling below the mark and directly declining to . This is enough to prove the price the World Government paid in resisting the chaos of the Great Pirate Era.

Marshal Steel Bone didn't say anything, but Admiral Zhan Guo immediately said in a deep voice: "The pirates are powerful, our navy..."

But before Admiral Sengoku could finish his words, the blond man raised his hand, stopped Admiral Sengoku from speaking, and said softly: "Pirate, it's just a case of psoriasis."

According to legend, the Five Elders holding the first generation of Kitetsu also said in a deep voice at this time: "Indeed, our World Government has been established in this world for eight hundred years. The Great Pirate Era is just another reincarnation of chaos and frenzy. One day, this so-called 'Age of Chaos' will calm down. For hundreds of years, our World Government has experienced this kind of ups and downs countless times, and this time will be no exception. Therefore, in our view, pirates are nothing more than a minor problem. From a standpoint alone, there is no possibility that they can gain a foothold in the world and shake our foundation!"

What is the attribute of a pirate?

The chaotic attribute may allow pirates to dominate for a while, but as long as they do not work hard to gradually evolve their own chaos into order, it will be impossible for them to shake the foundation of the world government.

After all, no matter how corrupt the World Government becomes, its attribute is still order. It is true that there is severe internal oppression, but it is much more humane than the pirates who kill people indiscriminately and massacre cities and destroy countries at will.

So in the eyes of the Five Elders, no matter how much trouble the pirates cause, this era belongs to Whitebeard, Roger, Charlotte, Linlin, Kaido, etc., it doesn't matter.

Whether in terms of time or size, they cannot outlast the world government.

Of course, this is the view of this era. It is hard to say what the situation will be like in twenty years.

"There are only two things that can make pirates a big problem, but these two things have been eliminated, so there is no need to worry for the time being." said the Bald King.

"The first point is naturally the historical text. At this point, there is no need to hide anything from you two. The so-called blank hundred years of history is naturally a criticism of the injustice of the World Government. I don't need to elaborate on what happened in it. You may be able to guess a little. Now that O'Hara has been destroyed, the historical text is difficult to interpret. In this way, the injustice of the World Government in the past will also be buried in the torrent of history. There is no need to worry about the evil parties seizing the opportunity to find the so-called "righteousness." The blond boss said.

To put it simply, the current historical text and the blank period of 100 years will not be used by anyone in the short term.

In this way, those evil pirates, such as Whitebeard, Charlotte, Linlin, Kaido, etc., will not be able to change their positions drastically.

For example, if they interpreted the historical text, they might not do it, but they would have the option to change their identity.

For example, they seized on the injustice of the World Government in the past, refuted it, and legally denied its legitimacy. Then, they transformed themselves from pirates, who were now considered a bandit threat, into so-called righteous forces. …

If it comes to this point, the World Government will be in an awkward position, because at this point, the pirates will have shed their chaotic attributes and started to get involved in the order camp, and then they will be qualified to shake the foundation of the World Government.

But again, this possibility has been eliminated at this stage.

The second point is the same: the ancient weapons recorded in the historical texts are said to have the power to destroy the world.

This is a 'point' that can, in a short period of time, allow pirate forces with only a few decades, or at most a hundred years of history, except for special and long-standing pirate groups like the Nine Snakes Pirates, to have the power to completely confront and destroy the World Government in the shortest possible time and in the most effective way.

Nowadays, apart from that guy Newgate, who has the power to destroy the world and is valued by the World Government, Kaido and others are not a problem at all.

But the World Government is already very clear about Whitebeard's style of doing things and his ambitions. They know that he is not a pirate who would do such crazy things, so they are not very worried.

Below him, the likes of Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido may have the ambition to destroy the World Government and dominate the world, but to be frank, they are not worthy. Only Shiki had the idea of ​​creating a new power similar to "Sea King", which made him somewhat qualified to compete with the World Government.

No matter how Kaido and Charlotte Linlin develop, they can never compare to the foundation accumulated by the World Government over the past 800 years, and they will eventually be exhausted.

So these are just minor issues. Unless they get the ancient weapons and truly have the power to fight the World Government to the death... then it is worth taking seriously.

However, we are back to the starting point. O'Hara is gone, the ancient weapons are temporarily useless, and the World Government no longer has to worry about pirates.

Therefore, even though this period was called the 'Great Pirate Era', the Five Elders could openly refer to pirates as 'a serious problem'.

After explaining these two points, the blond boss continued, "So, whether it's your navy's disastrous defeat at Spring Queen Island or the Whitebeard Pirates' arrogance, we don't take it to heart. We didn't call you two here today to question you, as you think..."

If you think about it carefully, for the navy with a strong sense of justice, it is reasonable for them to feel ashamed because Spring Queen Island caused disasters everywhere and the navy failed to protect the country and the people.

At the same time, more than 20,000 comrades died in this battle. General Zhan Guo and Marshal Gang Gu must regard this issue as a huge problem.

The subsequent handling of the navy was also quite severe. Ahe, a senior veteran of the navy, was directly beaten to a pulp. It can be imagined how much importance the navy attached to this defeat.

But in the eyes of the Five Elders... it's not a big deal at all.

More than 20,000 sailors sacrificed? What was that?

The destruction of Spring Queen Island? It wasn't even a member state, just one of the countless autonomous islands under the World Government. So, let it be destroyed.

A great victory for the Whitebeard Pirates?

If they win, they win. Whitebeard is so strong, it's normal for him to win. It can even be said that they haven't really lost in many years.

Besides, they were just a bunch of crude and lowly pirates. How long could they keep their arrogance? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years at most?

In general, in the eyes of the Five Elders, Spring Queen Island is not a big deal at all!

General Zhan Guo and Marshal Ganggu looked at each other, and then Marshal Ganggu formally asked, "What do the five adults mean?"

"Come to think of it, you may not have noticed that in the past three years, although most of the member states that were eliminated were affected by the impact of the Great Pirate Era, the more important reasons are two. The first is ourselves. There is no need to save face here. The corruption and depravity of the World Government is so serious. Do you think that only you can see it and the five of us can't? But governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If you want to deal with this kind of thing, you can only do it slowly. It happens to catch up with this chaotic era, and you can't be too drastic, so as not to trigger a chain reaction and cause the overall collapse... Therefore, we analyzed that the chaos caused by the Great Pirate Era has caused great damage to the people's livelihood and economy of various countries, and our World Government has exploited them layer by layer, which eventually led to the collapse of the country. This is one of the main reasons..." The blond boss said in a deep voice.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of General Zhan Guo and Marshal Gang Gu. They didn't expect that these five people would be so frank today?

Can you talk about this kind of thing openly?

"The second important influencing factor is this so-called revolutionary army..." the blond boss suddenly said.

General Warring States 2.9 and Marshal Steel Bone said to themselves that they were not going to win in a second, because not long ago, they both knew that the Revolutionary Army was created by that bastard Dragon.

But before they could say anything, the Bald King interrupted, saying, "So far, the Revolutionary Army has only launched three military operations called revolutions, but in reality, rebellions. Of course, all three failed. But after careful investigation, we discovered that they were actually spreading the so-called 'revolutionary spark' around the world. Therefore, a large number of the member states that have disappeared in recent years are due to the unstable domestic situation after the wave of pirates, and the revolutionary army's incitement... The spread of this evil trend has caused large-scale distortions and ultimately led to the destruction of the countries."

To put it simply, the revolutionary army's actions failed, and they are trying new methods. From military revolution, they have evolved to the stage of ideological revolution.

"Although it is just a spark, if it is not extinguished soon, it may spread like wildfire!" said the sword-wielding Five Elders in a deep voice.

This can be regarded as officially giving the revolutionary army its personality.

In fact, in the original story, one year later, that is, in the year 1504 of the Haiyuan calendar, the World Government officially began to make a series of response preparations against the Revolutionary Army at the World Conference.

It was also from that year that the World Government and the Revolutionary Army officially began their confrontation.

The Five Elders and other high-ranking officials of the World Government all regard the Revolutionary Army as the only hostile organization that can shake the foundation of the World Government at this stage!

Chapter 148: "Draft Plan for the Seven Warlords of the Sea"! (Fourth update)

Diarmait had never seen the Five Elders.

After so many years in this world, I have made a name for myself in the navy.

But with his current identity, he has never met the Five Elders.

I'm at a stage where I can often hear their 'voices' but can't see them in person.

However, regardless of whether he had met the Five Elders or not, Diarmait never regarded these five highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, who were openly known as the "highest powers of the World Government", as trash.

The World Government is so huge, how could the person at the helm be a waste?

As it turned out, he was not wrong. The Five Elders were indeed five very capable people.

At the level they are at, they have long since gotten rid of the so-called "low tastes". Things like corruption have nothing to do with them, and it is even more impossible for them to be like the idiot Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, who have no meaning other than living and wasting air.

On the contrary, the Five Elders sincerely hope that the World Government can move towards a better future.

They very much hope to eliminate corruption, remove the rotten flesh from the giant of the world government, and allow this already shaky giant ship to ride the wind and waves again.

Let the eight hundred years of decay become full of vitality.

And the reason why they have such a mentality.
