Chapter 332 Filling Historical Gaps with Gouzi Literature

The revolutionary army was making a great disturbance in the East China Sea, but suffered two consecutive defeats in the anti-bandit war, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Marine Headquarters has captured Roger's son, Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and it looks like a war between the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates is about to break out.

But in the eyes of world governments, these are minor matters.

The World Government has stood for eight hundred years, during which countless opposition organizations and pirate crews have grown in strength, but haven't they all been defeated?

As for the revolutionary army, it does have some novelty, but that's about it.

The World Government was indeed startled when the Revolutionary Army first appeared, but after more than a decade, the World Government gradually calmed down.

Because they discovered that the Revolutionary Army posed at least a minor threat to the World Government, if not no threat at all.

What they accomplished in ten years is probably less than what a single pirate crew does.

That's right, the Five Elders refers to middle-aged women.

This pirate, who started his empire by having children, actually occupied a large territory, established a country, and commanded tens of millions of people.

However, something really disgusting happened recently, which was the novel "The Great Dynasty" published in the World Economic Herald.

When this novel first started serialization, none of the Five Elders paid any attention to it. It was just a serialized novel, and the World Economic Daily was never short of such things. For example, the most popular novel in the last two years, "The Adventures of Cavendish," was adapted from the adventures of the pirate prince Cavendish.

Although The Great Dynasty is a historical work, the World Government is quite tolerant as long as you don't touch on the blank century.

Moreover, this novel features a large cast of characters, a rich plot, and even subtly contains principles of governance, which made the Five Elders quite fond of it.

However, as they wrote "The Great Dynasty", the Five Elders felt something was wrong.

The story of its rise was quite exciting, so how did it suddenly turn into a technology-focused venture?

And the technology they're developing involves bloodline factors and Devil Fruit technology?

Upon further reading, the Five Elders discovered that two great families had emerged from the Great Virtue Dynasty, one with a "D" in its name and the other with a "V." They then realized that this was not some "Great Virtue Dynasty" at all; it was clearly the history of a once-great kingdom!

Then, the more they looked, the more anxious the Five Elders became.

The Great Dynasty ruled with extreme tyranny and harbored great hatred towards other countries. Their rulers considered themselves the most superior race, no longer human, and thus called themselves gods. Because they lived on the Lunaria Highlands, they were also known as the Lunaria Gods.

If they merely called themselves gods, that would be one thing, but because of their extreme hatred for humanity, they actually organized and had the opportunity to carry out a plan to exterminate humanity.

This includes, but is not limited to, researching human genes, creating corresponding poisons, differentiating human genes, and creating branch races such as fish-men, long-armed races, short-armed races, and dwarf races within the human population, with the intention of instigating internal wars among humanity.

Fortunately, their intentions were seen through by a wise man among mankind, and under his leadership, mankind began to fight back.

From then on, the entire human world was covered with red flags, which symbolized the burning flames of liberation!

The wise man's ideas inspired countless people, and even the two great DV families within the "Great Dynasty" began to rebel against the gods and join the wise man's cause.

Oh, by the way, this wise man was none other than Joy Boy, a liberation fighter from nine hundred years ago!

At this point, everyone understood that this was not a historical novel at all; it was clearly someone using the name "Da De" to write about history from nine hundred years ago!

If the novel had ended here, that would have been fine, but this novel is still going on!

As of today, the novel has been updated to the point where twenty kingdoms have joined the rebel army to fight against the gods!

Then, the operation that caused the Five Elders to suffer a brain hemorrhage came about.

Perhaps due to a lack of historical materials, the earlier part of "The Great De Dynasty" was written quite well, with various characters, both good and bad, but generally vivid and each with their own charm.

But when it came to the Twentieth Kingdom, they started making things up.

The author didn't know the names of the twenty kingdoms, so he made up names himself, and the names he made up were both rustic and unpleasant to hear.

Moreover, the author clearly had no experience of court life, as he wrote that these kings were all holding golden bowls and squatting on golden steps eating golden cakes!

If that were all, we could say that ordinary people were just writing for fun because they didn't know any better.

He even went on to write that the kings of these twenty countries, in order to join the rebel army, all sold their genitals to the D clan!

Oh no, it's nineteen countries. The last one who didn't sell the ditches was the ancestor of Alabasta.

The author even went so far as to write down his reasons.

Why do world governments cover up those 100 years of history?

Because their ancestors sold ditches, which was considered dishonorable.

Why do they hate the D clan so much? Because the ones who bought the ditch were ancestors of the D clan.

Why are they hunting down the Lunaria tribe?

Because they were witnesses to history!

Why do the Celestial Dragons live on such a high red earth continent?

Because you're afraid of seeing acquaintances at the foot of the mountain?

Why do you say that the ancestors of Alabasta did not sell?

Since he didn't become a Celestial Dragon, it's obvious that his ancestors were upright and honest, and weren't afraid of running into acquaintances.

So logical and well-founded, it's absolutely infuriating!

You know, the kings of those twenty kingdoms back then were their ancestors!

Now that their ancestors have been insulted, how could the Five Elders not be angry?

Unfortunately, they couldn't find out who this Si Qian was!

At first, they didn't realize that the history book you wrote earlier, which was so vast, would suddenly turn into a ditch-like literature.

By the time they realized what was happening and called Morgans to ask him to stop publishing, Morgans was already unreachable!

Although Morgans had fled, the newspapers continued to be published daily, and the novels were still being updated daily.

Then, all sorts of detailed yet outrageous accounts of Gouzi history emerged.

The Five Elders were really about to vomit blood. You finished writing the first 400 years of history in just two weeks, but how come the story you wrote in the last week didn't even last a day?

Moreover, it's all about groin, and written in such detail. Morgans, do you not censor your newspapers? How can you let children read this kind of thing?

He slammed down today's newspaper. The Five Elders were truly exhausted by this one newspaper. Now, they sometimes didn't dare answer their subordinates' calls, because they always felt there was a hint of amusement in their voices.

They were still a little hesitant to go out, feeling that passersby were giving them strange looks.

As for killing all of them?

That won't work. The people who can go to Mary Geoise are all nobles who depend on the Celestial Dragons for their existence. If you kill them all, who will do the work?

Moreover, the Five Elders also knew that these people might not necessarily be laughing at them; it was possible that they were just being overly sensitive.

They had just thought Cyborg was there to make fun of them, which had worried them for a while.

Fortunately, Steelbone was busy fighting and didn't seem to have time to read the newspaper.

"This can't go on!" the Agricultural God of War exclaimed angrily. "If this continues, we Celestial Dragons will utterly lose face!"

The latest chapters have started to openly use the term "Celestial Dragons," without any attempt to conceal it, stating that these kings' descendants are Celestial Dragons.

If these newspapers keep circulating for a few more days, the whole world will know that the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons were prostitutes. At that time, who will still consider them descendants of gods?

"But what should we do?" the God of Scientific Defense asked. "Debunk the rumors in the newspapers?"

"Debunking rumors, is that useful?" the Agricultural Martial God said angrily. "And how do you debunk rumors that our ancestors never sold ditch? Do you have any evidence?"

The God of War was speechless.

Evidence? Where would I get any evidence? We've destroyed history completely, what evidence do I have left?

"Besides, we can't get in touch with Morgans at all, so where are we supposed to refute these rumors?"

Little did he know that even if history hadn't been completely destroyed, and even if every major and minor event had been recorded clearly, as long as one thing wasn't written down, the matter of selling ditch would inevitably be associated with him, and he wouldn't be able to escape it.

Gouzi's historical studies can end the war between Ming and Qing dynasty fans and leave both sides speechless. The ultimate way of deconstructing history is not so easy to crack.

What's more, the Celestial Dragons did something extremely foolish: they destroyed history.

Official history may not be entirely accurate, but unofficial history is certainly quite unofficial.

If you don't destroy history, and there's official history, people will be more restrained. Even if you do something terribly wrong, at least you'll rebuild order, and people can still offer some explanation.

But if you destroy history, wouldn't that give unofficial historians room to vent their own ideas?

Fortunately, the illiteracy rate in the One Piece world is high, and the literate nobles are not interested in history, so the World Government escaped this calamity.

Unfortunately, the time traveler arrived.

In this wave, the world government made two fatal mistakes.

Or perhaps the real issue is that the propaganda apparatus is not under their control.

The only newspaper in the world that can be circulated globally is not in the hands of a world government.

Anyone on Earth would find this outrageous!

Moreover, its long-term cooperation with the navy and the issuance of bounty orders have enabled the World Economic Herald to establish sufficient government credibility.

If a credible newspaper publishes an article saying that the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons were prostitutes, do you think people would believe it?

World governments have now realized the problem, but it's too late.

Morgans has already submitted to Alabasta. Although he won't openly rebel against the World Government, he still has the audacity to refuse to answer the phone.

Without Morgans' cooperation, the World Government was unable to quickly stop the continued spread of the "Gutter History" or promptly refute the rumors.

Even if they wanted to present the true history to correct people's impressions, they can no longer do so.

Ultimately, it's still the same problem: we can't get in touch with Morgans, and we have nowhere to publish our findings!

"Ring ring!" The Den Den Mushi rang.

The five elders exchanged a glance, and then the Environmental Martial God answered the phone.

"This is the Five Elders!"

"Hey, Five Elders, this is Marineford, I'm Sengoku!"

Despite the normal tone of voice, the Five Elders felt as if they could vaguely hear laughter.

"What is it?" asked the Environmental Martial God.

"Um, it's like this!" Sengoku said, "Do you all know Ning Yuan, the new king of Alabasta?"

"I know!" the Environmental Martial God said irritably, "He's a lecherous scoundrel; we just spoke to him on the phone!"

"Oh, good to know!" Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "Did you know that Ning Yuan is a Devil Fruit user?"

"He has Devil Fruit abilities?" The Environmental God of War was taken aback and looked at the other four Elders.

The four elders all shook their heads.

"He hid it from us?" The Environmental Martial God's face immediately darkened, feeling that he had been deceived.

"It shouldn't be a matter of concealment!" Sengoku quickly said, "It's just that you didn't ask!"

The Environmental Martial God blinked, as if he hadn't asked.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. We're too lazy to chat with that kid, so why would we ask him if he's eaten a Devil Fruit?

"Does it matter whether he's a Devil Fruit user or not?" the Environmental Martial God said irritably. "He's just a Devil Fruit user!"

"But his Devil Fruit is quite extraordinary!" Sengoku said. "The fruit he ate is called the Information Fruit, which allows him to establish an information network!"

"Information network, what is that?" the Environmental Martial God asked, frowning.

"This is a network connected by information, allowing people to exchange thoughts using information!" Zhan Guo said. "Ning Yuan named this network the Goddess of Wisdom. You can gently call upon the Goddess of Wisdom to activate it and enter the Goddess of Wisdom network. I've already obtained the necessary permissions for you!"

"What's the use of this thing?" The Environmental War God wasn't in a hurry to activate that network; he was more curious about what kind of thing could make a dignified Navy Admiral personally come to beat up the enemy.

"This network is open to everyone in the world!" Sengoku said, "Even those who are illiterate. I've heard some bad rumors about the Celestial Dragons lately?"

"Snap!" The Environmental Martial God hung up the phone expressionlessly.

The other four Elders exchanged glances, then sighed in unison. Even the Fleet Admiral knew about it!

That's normal; a naval admiral must subscribe to newspapers every day.

However, the God of Environment understood what the Warring States meant. They couldn't contact Morgans now, but what they needed to do to contact Morgans was to have a platform to release information.

This smart network also has the function of publishing information.

Although it's uncertain whether it can replace the World Economic Herald, it's worth a try.

"Do you want to connect?" the Environmental War God asked.

"Let's find someone to test it out first!" said the God of Scientific Defense.

This is, after all, someone else's Devil Fruit ability. They hold high positions of power; how could they possibly try it out casually?

A moment later, a knight of the gods was summoned in.

This knight is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user and is proficient in Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki. If he encounters any problems online, he can immediately log out.

"Goddess of Wisdom, activate!" the knight shouted, then rolled his eyes and entered the intelligent network.

A moment later, he withdrew in a daze.

"How is it?" the Environmental Martial God hurriedly asked, "What kind of place is it? Did you encounter any danger?"

"There's no danger!" the knight quickly shook his head.

"If there's no danger, why are you acting like you've lost your soul?" the Environmental Martial God asked.

"I was just...so shocked by what I saw!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders were astonished: "You were born in Mary Geoise, is there anything in this world you haven't seen?"

"That thing is a bit different from what we usually see; I don't know how to describe it!" The knight scratched his head and said, "Why don't you go inside and you'll see!"

"Are you sure there's no danger?" The Five Elders frowned. "After all, this is someone else's Devil Fruit ability!"

"Don't worry, there's no danger!" the knight said. "This fruit only provides the ability to exchange information; it has no other functions, not even combat ability. Correspondingly, it has reached the extreme in terms of information exchange, and can even cover an entire planet!"

Covering the entire planet sounds terrifying, but the Five Elders aren't afraid of it.

There are also Devil Fruits that can affect the entire world, such as the Song-Song Fruit, which can directly pull everyone in the world into one world.

They were simply curious about what the knight had seen that had surprised him so much.

"Give me a more detailed description!" The Five Elders were still uneasy. The main reason they had lived so long was their prudence and avoidance of risks!

The knight had no choice but to gradually explain the functions of the smart network to them, including chat, maps, office work, and information dissemination.

Of course, "office" here refers to office software; Ningyuan would never grant them access to artificial intelligence.

Even so, this feature is still very powerful, essentially bringing them into the information age in one step.

After conducting a thorough investigation, the Five Elders finally lowered their guard.

However, they did not enter together, but instead let the Environmental Martial God enter alone first.

"Goddess of Wisdom, activate!"

The next second, the Environmental Martial God felt the world in front of him suddenly change, and a box appeared.

Then a stream of information appeared in my mind.

This is an introduction to the usage and functions of the intelligent network.

With this information stream, the previously unfamiliar boxes suddenly became familiar.

Moreover, the God of War also understood what the Warring States meant by the information release.

Within the smart network, there is a software called Smart Weibo, where you can register an account, verify your identity, and authenticate your account.

Once the Five Elders' identity is verified, the information they post can be seen by everyone in the world.

Moreover, because the intelligent network connects people's thoughts and disseminates direct information, even illiterate people can understand the messages it transmits.

"I see!" The Environmental Martial God immediately understood the benefits of this thing.

How many people does the World Economic Daily have?

Although there are many people in the world, not many of them are literate.

Are there five million in the whole world combined?

But on Weibo, anyone can join, or rather, anyone with a mind, even a member of the Mao tribe.

The messages released by the Five Elders can be seen not only by member states but also by non-member states. Isn't that infinitely more convenient than the World Economic Daily?

Moreover, in terms of the timeliness of news, Weibo is faster than the World Economic Daily. The World Economic Daily still relies on the speed of news delivery, and no matter how fast the news flies, it still takes time.

But what about smart microblogs? They only take a split second to post!

Instead of rushing to post on Weibo, the Environmental Warriors seemed to have remembered the lesson Morgans had taught them.

Previously, this news platform was controlled by Morgans, and when Morgans left, the five elders were completely dumbfounded.

Now this messaging platform is in Ning Yuan's hands. If Ning Yuan also refuses to let the Five Elders use it, wouldn't the Five Elders be dumbfounded?

Therefore, we must take control of Ningyuan!

Is he currently in the Devil's Triangle?

The Environmental Warrior withdrew from the intelligent network, then took out a Den Den Mushi, dialed, and made a call.

A moment later: "This is the Five Elders. I order you to capture Ning Yuan alive and send him to Mary Geoise!"

"By the way, don't hurt him!"
