Chapter 472: Shanks and the Dragons
Although it sounds ridiculous, the navy retreated like this, as in a hurry when they came, like a passerby.
The pirates who saw Ronan return with great victory gathered together again to celebrate Ronan and even wanted to join Ronan's ship.
But Ronan refused. Sometimes the greater the power, the better, and the purity of the team is equally important as the centripetal force.
Haven't you seen the Roman Empire declined quickly after granting citizenship to all residents in Rome? Haven't you seen the failure of the first Northern Expedition? Haven't you seen the chaotic management of kmt?
After experiencing the Wano Kingdom War and this battle with the Navy, at least Ronan could think so. He really had an army that could be pulled out and fought, rather than a guy who could only serve the scene.
The Ronan Pirates are the absolute core, followed by the Katakuli Pirates, the Flame Tank Pirates, and the New Fishman Pirates; the third echelon are the Kid Pirates, the Heart Pirates, the Eight Treasures Naval Army, etc., which later relied on Ronan's allies; finally, another small core within the Pirates League, the Straw Hat Pirates and their followers, Wano Country and the Bartolomeo Pirates.
This victory brought Ronan's reputation to another level, and many news newspapers vaguely felt like they would build Ronan into the emperor of the New World.
The world government also completely tore through its hypocrisy, frequently dispatched fleets to cooperate with the navy to maintain their smooth routes in the new world, and at the same time built several island chains to prepare to encircle Ronan.
It was under such a background that another big man from the new world came to Wanguo and called for Ronan.
The person who came was nothing but the old four emperors in the new world today, the red-haired Shanks.
The first thing he said after seeing Ronan was: "Ronan, stop. Your behavior is about to break the fragile balance of this world. Are you just watching the whole world fall into the abyss of war like this?"
After Ronan sent all the guards away, and after confirming that there was no third person everywhere, he looked at the red hair and said, "The balance of the world is not something I have broken, but the world is originally unbalanced. I am just a person who follows the trend."
"No, I can't say that. I still appreciate what you said when we first met. You said that the world is big and enough for everyone to live a prosperous life. You said that there is actually no need for so many disputes. If everyone's power can be used in construction, our world will truly become heaven and earth. Are you going to deviate from your ideals?"
Ronan: "Shanks, don't pretend to be confused. You and I know that the mess of the world government is unsuccessful. It is crooked from its roots. How can the seeds of the demon bear flowers of light? The blood of innocent people only water the deeper sins. What the world needs is not improvement, but change.
Let me tell you a small story, a real story that may have happened in this world..."
This is a binary star system composed of two worlds, which revolve around the sun together. For various reasons, both stars eventually gave birth to life, and because the two planets are very close, they can even communicate with each other under special circumstances.
One of the planets without oceans is called the Infinite Earth, while the planets wrapped by oceans and land are called the Earth. People on the Infinite Earth call the Earth Qinghai, while people on the Earth call the Infinite Earth the Moon.
For some reasons, people on the moon were the first to enter the scientific and technological civilization. They developed extremely rapidly and mined underground gold as their raw materials and energy.
One day, gold ran out. The Lunas launched a self-rescue movement. They drove their own spacecraft into the earth from the moon along the gas passage, and took the lead in settling on the Jidi Clouds above the sky. Then they sent advance troops to the earth and established their own city-states on the ground.
These lunar people come into contact with local indigenous people and teach them their own civilization and technology, launching a vigorous global gold trade operation.
Almost all civilizations were swept in by the trend of gold and gathered in the first city-state established by the Moon Man on the earth. Different civilizations collided fiercely, and geniuses of various races tempered each other. They even made a step further based on the Moon Man’s technology.
An unprecedentedly powerful human country was established. Within this country, all races live in harmony and build together, and ultimately make this country a beacon for the world. People yearn for it and people want to be here.
The name of this country is no longer verified, but judging from some historical data it has left behind, people usually call this country a huge kingdom, and of course, two words in ancient times need to be added.
The huge kingdom is like a giant octopus, extending its tentacles along the great fortune to the world. This young kingdom is like a greedy young man, without any awareness that his crisis has arrived quietly in the dark.
At this time, twenty kingdoms were dissatisfied with the notice of the huge kingdom, so they surrendered on the surface, and secretly spread rumors about the huge kingdom, and secretly took action to make other small citizens miserable, and they put their shit on the huge kingdom with their backhand.
Instigate the relationship between the great kingdom and the various countries and teach it to have no allies; disagree with the relationship between the various races in the great kingdom so that it cannot be used; destroy the trust between the great kingdom and all ordinary people and make it have no credit.
In the end, the twenty kingdoms dismembered the huge kingdom and burned everything in its past. Then these successful rebellious countries once again held up the flag that was once raised by the huge kingdom, built an institution with a monkey and a tiger...
Shanks closed his eyes and then finished what Ronan had not said: "The huge institution that was established is called the World Government, and the royal families of those twenty countries praised themselves as celestial dragons in order to maintain their supreme status, and cast a lie of creation."
Ronan: "There is nothing wrong with power itself, and success itself is nothing wrong with it. It can even be said that the world government itself can establish it, at least it means what they did right.
But it's not that they did what they did right, but that they attribute their success to the things they did wrong in the past.
Look at this world, Shanks, if the world government has done more right than wrong over the past few hundred years, it will not make the situation develop to what it is today!”
Shanks: "What you...makes a lot of sense.
I'll tell you a story, too..."
About thirty-nine years ago, a red-haired baby was born. The family he was born is one of the most powerful families in the world, and his life seemed to be destined to be out of poverty.
However, fate is so good at teasing others. At that time, the sea was surging and heroes stood up. Someone stood up. His name was Lox d. Jibeck. With his absolute powerful force, he unified most of the pirate elites of that era. His goal was to overthrow the rule of the celestial dragons and become the king of the world.
Through some channels, Locks learned an information that only the Tianlong people had a way to reach Raffdru, and only by arriving at Raffdru could the true face of the world government be exposed to everyone and collapsed.
So an unprecedented battle broke out. The navy, the world government, and the pirates. In that era, more than 70% of the combat power was concentrated on a towering isolated island. At that time, the island was called the Island of Gods and the residence of the Tianlong people.
In that battle, the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were gone. The navy, the world government, and even the pirates exhausted all their strength. In the end, according to the world government, the winner was them, and the person who defeated the most vicious pirates in history was the naval hero, Cap.
"But few people know that in that battle, Cap actually joined forces with Roger Pirates to repel Rocks." Shanks said: "It was after that battle that I boarded the captain's ship and became an intern on the ship, and Bucky was with me."
Then, Shanks said nostalgically: "The days at that time were so simple and happy, before I knew my identity...
Maybe you have guessed that I, the red-haired Shanks, are the orphans of the Dragon Man who survived that battle."
Ronan was shocked and then figured it out. No wonder Shanks had such a great face. On the side of the pirate, he was the Emperor of the Sea and the Crew of One Piece; on the side of the world government, he was a celestial dragon man with a strong root, and he was also very powerful, and he was definitely his own person.
"Now, you should be able to understand why I am committed to maintaining stability among the Four Emperors, right?"
Shanks smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried that there will be another bastard like Locks, and I'm worried that there will be many more pitiful people like me in the world.
Although I have no intention of serving the world government, our short-term goals are very consistent in terms of results.
I originally thought that supporting you to attack the aunt would weaken her and make her be honest with Kaido, but I never expected that your growth rate would be so scary."
Ronan: "So what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to fix this error manually."
"So you want to kill me?"
"No! I won't kill you. You are a thoughtful person. Your head should be very useful when Luffy completes the big change."
"Luffy? You actually put your hope on that guy."
Shanks nodded: "I am looking forward to Joypoy's appearance very much, wanting to bring laughter to everyone, rather than killing and war."
"Tsk, by chance, I bet part of the treasure on the monkey, but I plan to take the rest myself!"
