Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 710 ONE PIECE?

Chapter 710 ONE PIECE? (22)

After leaving the laboratory, the group returned to the government headquarters building.

After speaking out their suggestions, the Five Elder Stars had different expressions. Finally, the Swordsman Elder Star spoke after a slight hesitation.

"You mean, Sea Train?!"

"That's just one of the methods. Things like airships and cargo ships can be put on the agenda and used for civilian purposes, so that the islands are no longer separated from each other and the connection between them and the government is strengthened."

"Isn't this nonsense?!"

If the target was not Ron, the hot-tempered Mediterranean Five Elders would have jumped up and hit him.

"Your idea is good, but this will also give the pirates more choices, which is a huge hidden danger to the government!"

Strengthen the connection between islands. Indeed, under the constant encouragement of Ron's theory of centralization, the Five Elders can see the future development prospects.

Let’s use the simplest analogy.

Are human nobles really attracted to mermaid girls because of their beauty?
The answer is of course no.

It is simply because mermaids are different from ourselves, live on the bottom of the sea and are rarely seen, that people pursue them as something novel and alternative.

But in the eyes of the residents of Fishman Island, no matter how pitiful those mermaid girls who drive human nobles crazy are, they are probably commonplace and not worth mentioning.

The survival of the Tianlong people is now a mystery. If such a day really comes, and they are unable to suppress the world with fear, the only way out is to transform from a "tyrant" to a "benevolent monarch."

But reality doesn’t allow it!

People have become accustomed to "going to sea", and this is not an inherent concept that can be changed by strengthening the connection between the two modes of transportation.

Increasing travel convenience will not only make it more convenient for ordinary people, but will also give pirates more ways to do evil.

"So we need to prepare in advance and take it step by step!"

Ron argued: "Time is a slowly effective medicine that makes people forget everything... If the day of the collapse of the sky suddenly comes, do you think it will be too late to solve the problem then?"

"I……"

The Five Elders of the Mediterranean stopped talking and turned around to look for help, but found that except for him, the other three were all in silence, and seemed to be quite tempted.

“You guys, can’t it be…!”

Snapped!Snapped!
"Everyone, calm down!"

The bearded Five Elders clapped their hands and asked everyone to look over: "Ron has a point, but your concerns cannot be ignored either."

"Then...if you have any ideas, please share them with us!"

He looked at Ron, who had his hands on the table, and narrowed his eyes: "I guess with your scheming, you can see this, right?"

With Canglong's wisdom, he couldn't even see such an obvious loophole, and instead allowed himself and others to find fault with it. If this really happened, the five bearded elders would definitely not be happy.

Because that most likely means that being picked on by them is also part of Ron's plan.

"Excellent!"

In response, Ron showed no embarrassment at being exposed and smiled calmly.

Then, under the gaze of the Five Elders, he continued: "As I said, this is a plan that will take time, allowing the relationship between ordinary people and the government to grow stronger over time."

"Similarly, there is no need to rush to implement the plan. We can start from the existing naval bases."

"I believe you all know how powerful our navy branch is on the sea today. Even the lunatics from the New World are rarely provoked. We even say that they will surely die if provoked!"

"We can build a spider-web-like transportation network with them as the center and gradually radiate to the surrounding islands, step by step and steadily."

"First, it can give the people a period of adaptation, so that they can believe that the government is really thinking about them. Second, it can avoid internal and external troubles to the greatest extent. Third, it can further squeeze the pirates' living space and leave them nowhere to hide!"

Looking at the four people with the highest power in the world who were in front of him and looked terrified with shock, Ron smiled slightly.

"Everyone yearns for a better life, and that's why pirates go out to sea. Whether it's plundering or chasing dreams, risking their lives on the sea is the life they yearn for." "But the number of pirates is definitely not as large as the number of people who want to live a stable life. As long as life gets better day by day, there's no need for us to worry about them. They will naturally fall into the ocean of the people and be overturned by the raging waves!"

"And these branches, which currently only have military power, will become the political centers, economic centers, and most importantly, military centers of various sea areas in the future!"

"We can't personally intervene in every island, but can't we personally manage each branch? As long as the pyramid of centralized power is stabilized, why should we be afraid that the world will not be made into an iron plate by us?!"

Looking at the shocked eyes, Ron grinned.

"By then, whether or not there are Celestial Dragons, what does it matter to the government's rule?"

This sentence blatantly dethroned the Celestial Dragons, the symbol of the government. Under normal circumstances, even if the Five Elders said this themselves, it would be a crime of disrespect!

However, given the fact that an experiment has just failed, this becomes a simple inference based on facts.

"So, this is the real purpose of your proposal to us to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption?!"

Suddenly, the five elder stars with long beards seemed to realize something and took a breath of cold air.

Such a huge layout will inevitably require a large number of officials to manage and govern. The previous government was bloated, corruption was rampant among officials, and scum in the navy were occupying land and territory. Delegating power would only make them more rampant.

However, with the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the presence of ruthless hawkish military officers in all regions except the East China Sea and the Grand Line, the corrupt atmosphere was swept away and the corrupt officials within the government were eliminated to a great extent.

The bearded Five Elders felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. It turned out that Ron had been building this idea since then.

"That's right!"

Faced with doubts, Ron did not hide his feelings.

"I'm tired of this repetitive historical torrent! I've studied your way of ruling, and it's nothing more than making history go round and round like a wheel, unchanging forever."

"But the Great Age of Pirates is an unprecedented challenge to the government, and it is a year of great change!"

"Someone has come to break the deadlock. The direction of the wheel of history has been skewed. If we continue to stay in our old ways, we will only gradually move towards the abyss!"

"Times have changed, guys!!"

“It’s time for us to make a change!”

"But you don't know one thing, Ron!!"

Suddenly, the Five Elder Swordsmen stood up and said solemnly: "You don't know what secret we are guarding, and you don't know how much impact your plan will have on it!"

"One Piece of the Great Secret Treasure?"

Hearing this, Ron looked over and said, "Will its existence affect my layout? Don't forget that pirates can't cause any trouble in front of me!"

"you……!!"

"Indeed, not for the time being."

The five elder stars with long beards frowned silently when they heard this and stopped the quarrel.

After a moment's silence, he replied calmly.

"Since Lord Yimu won't reveal the secret, we can't tell you either...but I can let you know some information."

Looking at Ron's solemn eyes, the bearded Five Elders spoke slowly.

"The secrets we guard are real, and must not be discovered by pirates."

"But the most important point is that after 800 years, we are still not done!"

Is it “done”?
Not “find”, “control”, “discover”? !!!

Suddenly, Ron understood something.
