Day in Infinity

They don't care whether you are colluding with local forces or with pirates.

After all, what they want is the stability of the ocean, not the complete elimination of pirates.

Even Sengoku can't do anything about this, because the world is too big, and with the Pirate Kingdoms everywhere, it's really too much for the World Government to station armies in various countries.

The rule of this world government is the control of the sea. No matter what kind of control it is, as long as it is under control, it is fine.

Besides, if you really want to say it, Arlong is a member of the Fish-Man Pirates and a companion of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. To be honest, the Navy cannot capture him.

Li Ke has also learned a little about the World Government during this period. This thing is actually not as powerful as imagined, because -

The World Government is actually a group of bandits and bullies who collect protection fees. The only difference between them and pirates is that they are stronger than all the pirates, and their food is much better than that of the kings of those kingdoms. Even if there is a problem in the kingdom you rule, as long as you can pay the full amount of Heavenly Gold, the World Government will send the navy to help you quell the rebellion.

Just like the colonizers treated Africa.

"I see... If someone else had said that..."

Garp said nothing, but just looked at his deputy beside him.

"Go and deal with it, don't leave any trouble."

He is not good at dealing with such things, so he just leaves it to his assistant.

"Yes."

Bogart chuckled. His Observation Haki had already given him the answer. All he had to do was check the account book.

And now that Garp has spoken and made his judgment, no one will speak for or support this guy.

After all, he was just a pawn, so it was just bad luck for him.

"Lieutenant General Garp! Lieutenant General Garp!"

Colonel Mouse shouted in horror, but it was of no use as he was taken away by the guards called by Bogart.

"Okay, then the matter is almost over. Brother, are you really not going to join the navy? You know, after joining the navy, you can sail freely on the sea!"

Karp tried to recruit Li Ke again.

This is also a convenience of joining the Navy.

It is not described in the original work, but in this world, going out to sea privately, or sailing to other countries without relevant certificates and permission, will be regarded as pirates.

In theory, only those allowed by the World Government can sail freely.

"No, I will apply for a sailing license."

Li Ke shook his head. Forget about the navy. Although he could learn the six styles and the like, he would be able to restore high-level lives and did not need the help of the navy at all.

"Okay, okay... But I still hope you can become a marine, that's it, kid. If you are wanted by accident, and it's not a big deal, just use this Den Den Mushi to call me and I will help you."

After saying this, Garp was about to leave, but before leaving, he handed a Den Den Mushi to Li Ke.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Karp would think so highly of him.

But for Karp...

"This kid should be related to Roger's resurrection, right? Could he be resurrected?"

His intuition told him that Li Ke was the key to Roger's resurrection. Although he didn't know the reason and had no reason to doubt it, he just felt that way.

And it’s still for that reason.

The person that Roger keeps by his side is definitely not a mediocre person. He is just a Den Den Mushi. If there is a gain, there will be a lot of profit. If there is no gain, there will be no loss.

But he didn't intend to explain to Li Ke, so he just waved his hand and left.

However, for Li Ke, the most surprising thing was one thing.

"You weren't discovered..."

Li Ke looked at Robin in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

Just now, Robin was by his side the whole time, and just by slightly changing her appearance, she successfully prevented Garp and Colonel Mouse from realizing that her true identity was the son of the devil.

He said those words to divert Garp's attention, but he didn't expect that Garp didn't take it to heart at all.

"Do you think the bounty is easy to get? I don't need to recruit crew members, so I didn't dress like a common person, nor did I use my own abilities. Why do you think they would recognize me?"

Robin looked at Li Ke speechlessly.

"I'm just curious why they didn't recognize you."

Li Ke turned his head away. This was indeed his negligence.

"It's not one of those secret service organizations of the World Government... In fact, there are many pirates who hide their identities. As long as you don't continue to go out to sea or expose your special abilities, not many people will care about you. There are also pirates who have been summoned by some kings and nobles."

Robin spat out.

If she chooses to hide her identity and stop studying ancient texts and blank history, then she does not have to be caught by the world government. She can find a backward mountain village, hide her identity and get married, not use her ability as a flower or a fruit, and not show her ability as a historian. Then what is the difference between her and an ordinary village girl?

The World Government's secret service organization is very powerful, but it is not wasteful to the extent that it can just dump hundreds of them in any country. If you want to live a stable life, it really won't be that troublesome.

But it was precisely because she wanted to study ancient texts and wanted to know the blank history that she was hunted down. Because she would show her ability and talent, and let those big pirates help her find the ancient texts and blank history that she, an archaeologist, could not find.

Although this was dangerous, it was also because of this that she was able to find the original text of history.

So, rather than saying that Crocodile found her, it would be more accurate to say that she found Crocodile.

Those who came to her not because of the ancient texts, either came for her head or for her bounty, except for one person who did not come for these.

That is……

Li Ke.

This bastard came for her body, but she couldn't refuse him.

"But, Li Ke."

Robin looked at Li Ke seriously.

"I have to inform you of something."

"Go ahead."

Li Ke looked into Robin's eyes and knew what she was going to say.

"Now you also have a woman who can freely obtain energy, and I don't intend to give up my power now, nor do I intend to revive my mother at this time. So, if you give up sailing, I will leave. I need Crocodile's power to search for history, because this is more important than the lives of me and my mother... If you choose to sail, then we must face Crocodile, the World Government and the Navy."

Robin is not sure what Li Ke will choose, because the World Government is very powerful and Crocodile is also very powerful. She doesn't know what Li Ke will choose, but she knows that she must make a choice.

Although she knew that, if she thought rationally, giving up on her was the best option.

But Li Ke just held his chin and asked a few questions that Robin didn't expect, but he felt that it was "after all, Li Ke".

"If I go out to sea, can you let me cum more than three times a day, and not object to group sex, and help me find beautiful girls?"

"........."

"No? Other treatment can be discussed."

"……Can."

"How well do you want the sand crocodile done?"

Li Ke straightened his chest.

And just like that, Li Ke went out to sea.

Chapter 140: Turmoil Caused by Butterflies

For some people, going into the sea is very difficult, but for some people, it is very simple.

It's either a matter of moral integrity, a matter of conscience, or a matter of the body.

But for the people of One Piece, it is nothing more than a matter of ships.

Even though their abilities are extremely amazing, for those who go out to sea, the most important thing is the boat.

This is true for both the navy and pirates. It is often like this on this strange ocean. No matter how strong your abilities are, no matter how powerful your strength is, you still need supplies and rest.

There are people like Rayleigh who can swim through the doldrums, and Li Ke also swam through the doldrums under Roger's protection, but most people can't.

There is also Buggy the Clown on Roger's ship. The Straw Hat Pirates in the later period are not as powerful as pirates with hundreds of millions of soldiers per person. To be honest, the combat power of Nami and Robin is just that in front of the Four Emperors.

It's a little useful, but not very useful. It's really too much to ask someone of this ability to swim in the Calm Belt.

And the devil fruit is also an important reason.

Although many Devil Fruit users regard sea water as fart, it is undeniable that Devil Fruits are extremely powerful combat forces.

and so……

"It needs to be repaired..."

Li Ke looked at the ship docked in Rogue Town, and one thing that stood out was boredom.

"Yes, and there are also procedures for going out to sea and applying for bounty hunter status. Otherwise, you will be labeled a pirate as soon as you go out to sea."

Robin sat on a sun lounger basking in the sun, watching Nami drawing a sea chart over there.

The world government has very strict control over the oceans of this world. If you are a well-known scholar or something like that, and you take the route of a merchant ship or navy, it is not a big problem to run around on the sea. However, if your ship carries weapons and ammunition, and has no merchandise and entry and exit records, then you will be directly classified as a pirate.

Moreover, in this world, not all pirates yearn for the Grand Line.

Many pirates are actually locals, so don’t use too many letters of marque. It’s not uncommon for some pirates to not even have letters of marque and become obedient citizens when the navy arrives and pirates when the navy leaves.

Some of them even farm to support themselves. Such a social structure is almost inevitable in this world, so it is a sure win for many countries to join the World Government, because after paying the expensive Heavenly Gold, the World Government’s navy will be stationed here and provide a series of protection.

Of course, the infiltration of the world government's power is inevitable. We can even see rebellions and large-scale pirate waves in some countries in order to obtain good ports and geographical advantages.

So, there is actually no difference between the navy and pirates.

For example, Li Ke saw a pirate ship sailing directly into the port of Rogue Town, but the navy at the port didn't even look at it. The reason was that these people were pirates in other countries, but in the territory of this country, they were not pirates but official personnel.

Although the navy has administrative rights over local towns, to the nobles, the navy is basically just a mercenary. Only in the territories directly under the World Government does the navy have full law enforcement power.

Of course, it is a bit too much to talk about complete law enforcement power and sovereignty in this kind of world. After all, for the people in this world, people like Aaron can occupy several villages and act tyrannically. As long as the nobles are not stupid, they will know what is good for them.

After all, there are more than a dozen ships there, and several navy officers like colonels are standing at your door. If you annoy them, are you a pirate or not?

“This world is really boring.”

Putting down his notebook, Li Ke stopped looking at the map because he found that the situation in the world was just as he thought. He knew it very clearly. As long as the world government behaved a little more, the people under it would never have the ability to resist.

"Hmm... your opinion is very interesting. You are actually a scholar."

Robin looked at what Li Ke wrote with some surprise. Li Ke's analysis of the world situation was quite organized. Many things that she didn't understand before became quite clear and understandable after Li Ke's analysis based on newspapers and maps.

Including but not limited to pirates and the navy, pirates and the world government, affiliated kingdoms and the world government, non-member countries and member countries, and the relationship between the world government.

as well as……

Why does the World Government attach so much importance to the great secret treasure and historical text?

"Your opinion is that the historical text and the great secret treasure are actually unimportant to the World Government?"

Robin looked at Li Ke with interest. In the eyes of many people, the great secret treasure was either wealth enough to make a person rich enough to rival a country, or Roger's powerful secret, or the Achilles' heel of the world government.

But in the notebook written by Li Ke, the great secret treasure and the historical text are not important. What is important is one thing.

It makes people start to doubt and pursue.

"That's right. This world is like a stagnant pool of water. Countless people are burning, killing and looting, but in fact, it doesn't make any sense to the upper class. These pirates always have to spend money, and the money they spend will return to their hands. So before Roger, no matter how rampant the pirates were, it didn't matter to the upper class of this world. But once they need to pursue a treasure, and this treasure is related to the secrets of the past, and it is said to have an unparalleled ability that allows people to become the Pirate King, then for the World Government, this is a very scary thing."

"Roger made the World Government helpless. If he hadn't surrendered himself, even the World Government couldn't catch him. Such a person is a goal that the world yearns for. This is normal, because for sailors, the greatest authority above them is the World Government, and Roger is a person who doesn't care about the authority of the World Government at all. The treasure left by such a person can make you a person who is not afraid of the authority of the World Government. What a great temptation this is for the sailors of this world."

Li Ke sighed a little.

In this world, the real backbone is the sailors, there is no doubt about it, because in this world, a small island is the first country, and island countries must vigorously develop shipping, otherwise the economy will inevitably collapse.

What Roger really inspires are people who are honest and obedient to authority.

"In other words, what the World Government fears is not the secrets of the Great Treasure and Blank History, but the increasing number of people who defy authority?"

Robin asked thoughtfully.

It was the first time she heard such an explanation, but after thinking about it carefully, it was extremely correct.

Those who do not obey authority cannot be controlled by authority, that is—

free.

"Freedom is poison to the World Government, but it is something that the people of this world dream of. As the saying goes, freedom means not having to do things that you don't want to do. What don't ordinary people want to do? They don't want to pay taxes so much that they can't afford to eat, they don't want to be oppressed by the nobles to the point of bankruptcy, and they don't want to be killed casually by the Celestial Dragons. This is the freedom that ordinary people yearn for. If the World Government can guarantee these three points, then where would there be so many pirates in the world - so I said before, the Pirate King is not the one who decides whether there are pirates on the sea. The only one who can really decide whether there are pirates on the sea is the World Government."

Robin nodded. Li Ke's view was very logical, but she didn't know whether the reality was like this. Because no matter how she looked at it, there were too many scumbags among the pirates.
