At this moment, everyone noticed the large number of ship shadows appearing on the horizon in the distance.

only...

This fleet of nearly two hundred ships, even half of which are not warships, is not small in scale, but on today's occasion, it seems a bit unsatisfactory, right?

However, Li Yan knew it.

There are more than just these powers coming from the Holy Land.

But no matter what, now that Li Yan is here, there is no reason not to take action.

But until then...

------

"Everyone, I am Li Yan, the general of the East China Sea!"

In front of the live broadcast equipment of several reporters, Li Yan spoke.

"Today is a special day, and this public execution also has a special meaning!"

"Since the establishment of the Navy for hundreds of years, although we have been shouting justice, justice, justice! But..."

"Is the Navy really just?"

"No, he never was!"

boom...

When Li Yan said this, the whole world exploded.

What is General Li Yan doing?

Publicly say that the Navy has never been just?

Not to mention the civilians who were watching the live broadcast, Akainu and the senior officials of the Navy Headquarters who were also watching the live broadcast were also confused.

I have no idea what Li Yan is doing.

"Although we talk about wiping out pirates and shout about protecting civilians all day long, is this really the case?"

"Not really!"

"On the surface, the navy is for justice, fighting pirates and protecting civilians, but in fact, the navy has always been just a loyal dog of the Holy Land Marie Joël."

"Pirates? That's a joke. The reason why pirates can exist for hundreds of years and continue to grow is because the Tianlong people need to use pirates to rule the entire world!"

"Don't you understand?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Because of the threat of pirates and the suppression of the sea by the navy, all kingdoms will rely more on the Holy Land."

"After all...the navy is the only institution in the world that can suppress pirates. By relying on the Holy Land and paying the heavenly gold every year, you can get the protection of the navy, right?"

"So... one after another the franchised countries appeared, and the world system centered on the Holy Land was born!"

"But have you ever thought about when and how pirates were born? Over the past hundreds of years, the Navy has obviously had the power to easily suppress pirates most of the time, but it has never been able to completely suppress them.

The end of the pirate era?”

When and how were pirates born?

Why has the navy, except for the last few decades, always had the absolute power to suppress pirates over the past few hundred years, but has never been able to exterminate them?

The question Li Yan mentioned echoes in everyone's heart.

It was only then that everyone realized that they had never thought about this.

So, what are the answers to these questions?

Everyone once again focused their attention on Li Yan during the live broadcast.

"About a few hundred years ago, there were not so many pirates on this sea, but another profession was prevalent, adventurers!"

"Yes, just like Rolando, the well-known talker who everyone knows, he was a famous adventurer at that time."

"So, why did the profession of adventurer disappear later, but pirates became more popular?"

"First of all, the essence of an adventurer is adventure just like its name. Wherever there are mysteries, treasures, and ruins, then go there."

"And this has led to more and more secrets in the world being revealed, especially the secrets related to the Holy Land that the Tianlong people don't want others to know."

"As a result, the profession of adventurer became a thorn in the side of the Celestial Dragons. At that time, the Celestial Dragons were also facing a situation of insufficient dominance over the world."

"So, they thought of a way to outlaw adventurers and classify them all as pirates. At the same time, they deliberately increased the power and danger of pirates. In order to achieve this goal, they even did not hesitate to make people pretend to be pirates to kill people and steal goods.

Even directly attacking kingdoms."

"Since that year, pirates in this world suddenly broke out. They killed people, set fires, plundered property, and committed all kinds of evil. There were even many pirates who entered some kingdoms and directly slaughtered their royal families!"

"Everyone panicked, and at this moment, the Holy Land stood up and proposed to form a maritime force to deal with the threat of pirate forces."

"So, the Navy was born!"

"As long as you join the Holy Land system and pay a heavenly gold every year, you can get the protection of the navy, but many kingdoms are not willing."

"After all, we're talking about a lot of money every year!"

"And this is not important to the Holy Land. Just like what was done before, any kingdom that is unwilling can just have people pretend to be pirates and kill them, right?"

"When several kingdoms are massacred, other kingdoms will naturally become afraid. Look at the kingdoms that are protected by the navy. They are all fine, but those kingdoms that are not protected by the navy have all become targets for pirates, right?"

"In the end, after a few years, almost all kingdoms became franchising countries, and the Celestial Dragons' dominance over the entire world was unprecedentedly strengthened."

"This gives the Tianlong people a taste of the sweetness, but they are also worried that if the pirates are wiped out, will the current ruling system be weakened or even collapse?"

"So, they came up with another way to support the pirates and respect themselves. Simply put, they raised the pirates and deliberately did not destroy them all, so that the strength of the pirates could always be maintained to pose a threat to the participating countries, but they were weaker than the navy.

Degree."

"In this way, as long as there are pirates and navies, those participating countries will never dare to leave the Holy Land!"

"When the pirates become stronger, the navy will increase the intensity of its suppression. When the pirates become weaker, the navy will, under the orders of the Holy Land, relax its crackdown to give them a chance to breathe."

"Over hundreds of years, this strategy has made the Holy Land's rule over the entire world extremely stable!"

"Except twice!"

"Once it was the great pirate Rocks, who had power that even the Holy Land was afraid of, and another time it was the previous generation of Pirate King Gol D Roger. What he said before his death caused the entire sea to completely riot.

The power of thieves has increased more than tenfold in just twenty years!"

"This is why, after that, the Holy Land created another King Shichibukai, because the navy alone can no longer suppress the pirate forces!"

"They want to raise the bandits to respect themselves, but now, with Roger's push, the bandits are out of their control!"

"This is the reason why pirates were born, and why the navy has never been able to destroy pirates!"

"This is the truth of the world for hundreds of years."

"That's why I say, the Navy is never just!"
