Having power but not using it, Joey Boy gave up. Because power alone cannot change the world, but he will still hide his power and wait for it to be activated again when power is needed.
"Im, I'll give you another chance, but if you still want to flip the table after this failure, I will definitely stop you." Joyboy's power is just to prevent the table from flipping.
Luffy said nothing, he also discovered that power is not invincible, and other elements are needed to change the world.
The audience was dumbfounded. Is the invincible Joeyboy going to give up without a fight again? Although everyone didn't know why they said 'again', they were definitely not satisfied with the ending, because there was no smile on their faces at all. Why?
We have to defeat Yim and Wulaoxing first. What's going on if we just leave like this?
"Don't leave!" the audience shouted.
"Defeat the Celestial Dragons——"
Joeyboy heard everyone's shouts, but he was not ready to take action, because the Celestial Dragons are also complex existences. High-level Celestial Dragons, intermediate Celestial Dragons, and low-level Celestial Dragons are all Celestial Dragons. If they really want to defeat the high-level Celestial Dragons,
Other Dracos will automatically upgrade.
Cao Mang is a low-level Celestial Dragon. If the Celestial Dragons are eliminated, Cao Mang should also be eliminated.
The reason why Joyboy has this understanding is entirely because of the research of the scholar Olbia. This era is the era of "the rise of recklessness".
When the Cao Mang rises, some Cao Mang will challenge the high-ranking Celestial Dragons, but most of the Cao Mang actually go out to burn, kill and loot. After all, no one in the sea has mentioned "The Theory of the Rise of the Cao Mang" which advocates uniting low-level warriors to overthrow the curtain. There is no suitable program.
Cao Mang's actions were very chaotic. It was not until Ace appeared that Cao Mang had a direction to exert his power. However, Ace did not lead Cao Mang to rise, but led Cao Mang to produce, and did not propose that Cao Mang want to overthrow the world government.
After all, Cao Mang is also a part of the Celestial Dragons. If the High Celestial Dragons are overthrown, Cao Mang will also become the High Celestial Dragons. Because the rules of the game of the High Celestial Dragons have established credibility over the past eight hundred years, and everyone knows how to play. If the High Celestial Dragons are
If you fall down and join a group of low-level Celestial Dragons, you have no credibility.
If low-level Tianlong people want to manage the sea, they will definitely need resources, and they will inevitably be controlled by businessmen, politicians, and the military, and can easily be ignored.
Ace's decision is that instead of asking for resources from others, it is better to produce them yourself. Producing resources also builds the reputation of the game. When the time comes, every place you go can make the territory your own.
There are two ways to occupy a place without credibility. One is to follow the original rules of the game, which is beneficial to the local gentry, which will definitely not work. The other is to snatch resources from the local gentry. In this way, there will be direct internal fighting and it will be difficult to turn the territory into one's own.
of.
Therefore, it is easy to defeat the world government, but it is difficult to turn the enemy's territory into your own territory. Because the enemy is only the spokesperson of interests, and there are entangled vested interests in the territory. How to deal with these talents is the most troublesome.
If you deal with it, it will cause chaos; if you don't deal with it, they will inevitably rebel.
How to digest the territory is a great test of the team's management level.
Joyboy learned a lot about Ace from Olbia's memories, and also knew that this era was undergoing major changes that had not happened in eight hundred years.
No, it can even be a major change that has not happened in three thousand years as mentioned in "The Rise of the Grass".
"This era is your era, and you don't need me. Im, your enemies have risen. You don't need to be afraid of me. What you should be afraid of is the person who can truly transform you." Joyboy said: "This transformation
Not driven by force, but driven by time.”
Time is not only a weapon for Im, but also a treasure that Ace needs. Time is beneficial to Ace. The more time, the more transformation there will be.
What kind of riddle did the audience think they were playing?
Luffy, on the other hand, thought of Ace. He thought that Ace was bound by production and life. He was not free at all, but he was indeed transforming.
The whole conversion is slow, but it's happening.
"Defeating the enemy does not mean defeating the rules of the game." Luffy defeated many enemies in the fantasy world, basically the invincible Pirate King, but what happened in the end? Still unable to change the rules of the game, weaklings appeared one after another, and it was impossible to change the rules of the game.
Can't help.
I also thought that Roger, the Pirate King, started the era of great pirates not by himself alone, but by relying on successive pirates, and even took advantage of this era of nobles enclosing territory and occupying shipping routes.
In the past, everyone developed routes under the leadership of the World Government, but as the development of local islands becomes more and more powerful, and the cost of the islands increases, they have to occupy the routes for their own use in order to make more money. A monopoly must be formed.
, in order to give yourself a local advantage.
In this way, there was a situation where the nobles funded the pirates. After the pirates grew stronger, they would break away from the nobles and form their own system. It can be said to be a contradictory endogeneity everywhere.
It's like the Roman emperor established the Praetorian Guard, but in the end the Praetorian Guard auctioned off the throne. It was originally a force to protect himself, but in the end it became a force to resist himself.
Roger also took advantage of this era. The cost of navigation technology was reduced, and instead of suppressing pirates, nobles from various places silently supported pirates who were beneficial to them. Only in this situation could the era of great pirates begin. Not that Roger said anything.
Fa Sui can conjure many pirates and ships out of thin air with just a few words.
If sailing technology is expensive, then a small businessman family like Keya simply cannot afford the cost of sailing, and it is impossible to give Luffy a boat. Luffy can only use a small wooden boat to take risks.
If the nobles everywhere are on tight guard and kill pirates without mercy, then the pirates will not be able to get supplies and will have to float on the sea to fend for themselves.
It is because ships are getting cheaper and cheaper and nobles are becoming more and more accepting of pirates that the era of great pirates has begun.
Big pirates like the Shichibukai and the Four Emperors even replaced the role of the navy in maintaining order.
In short, the Pirate Age emerged due to various objective reasons. But the Pirate Age can only be a transition. Luffy knew that he had to put forward a program to give everyone a new direction, otherwise the chaos would not stop.
But if you have a direction, you will be bound, and you will not be free.
"Ace is not free." Luffy said to himself: "But freedom cannot make the world a better place. Freedom will only make more people bully the weak. What exactly is the freedom I pursue, and where is it?"
Luffy has always been very determined, but after experiencing the illusion, he also doubted himself.
What exactly is freedom? Luffy thought of the three kinds of freedom that Duran said, natural freedom, social freedom, and moral freedom. He found that there were contradictions between the three freedoms, and there were also contradictions within the three freedoms.
After all, freedom does not have a clear definition. Within natural freedom, some people think that eating eggs from the small head means freedom, while some people think that eating eggs from the big head means freedom and can be beaten.
Social freedom, some people think that legalizing guns is freedom, and some people think that banning guns is freedom. Moral freedom, rich people think that it is filial to not buy for their parents, it is best to buy the most expensive ones, and poor people think that providing for their parents to provide for them until they die is filial.
They are all freedoms, but there are internal contradictions among the three freedoms.
When there are more people pursuing freedom, disagreements will arise. Just like other religions and schools of thought, it is inevitable. Everyone also hopes that freedom will be beneficial to them.
Let’s talk about filial piety with free morals. Rich people feed their parents delicacies from the mountains and seas, and dress their parents with silk and satin. This is what filial piety is. What do people who have no money do? If they don’t have money, they gamble their lives, lie on the ice begging for carps, and bury their children.
Serving one's mother and being filial to one's life is filial piety. Can a rich person do that?
It is to seize the right to interpret moral freedom.
The contradictions between the three kinds of freedom are too complex and difficult to integrate. Everyone is fighting for the right to interpret freedom. Even the Pirate King can only fight for part of the right to interpret and cannot become the freest person. If Luffy said that opening the Great Treasure is freedom,
Then others will say that the real freedom is to kill whoever I want.
The result is that whether it is naval justice or pirate freedom, both are in chaos and are fighting for the right to interpret.
Luffy was unable to resolve conflicts and conflicts, and could only be busy all his life. In the end, he could not change anything, and he wasted his time with no strength.
