I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"You don't know about Im?" Sig asked in surprise.

Long paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Sig looked around and saw that King Neptune of Fishman Island, Whitebeard, Zephyr, Fujitora and others were all shaking their heads with blank expressions.

Sieg then came to his senses and realized what was happening.

Im is too mysterious. She is the Celestial Dragon King in the shadows, the master of the Empty Throne, the true controller of the World Government, and the object of loyalty of the Five Elders.

It would be illogical for this person's existence to be widely known.

In the world's perception, the Void Throne is ownerless. Eight hundred years ago, the Twenty Kings laid down their weapons before the throne, signifying that they relinquished military power, embraced peace, and vowed to establish a world government without a dictator.

In other words.

The very fact that the Void Throne has an owner, and that the World Government has a true ruler, is a betrayal of the original purpose of establishing the World Government.

Revolutionary Dragon was of course unaware of this, otherwise he would have immediately announced it, using it as a crucial weapon against the World Government.

“Mr. Sig, do you mean... there really is an Im in this world?” Long’s eyes widened slightly; he finally understood what Sig meant.

"It seems that the Revolutionary Army hasn't even figured out who our real enemy is all this time," Long said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

Eight hundred years ago, a bottom-up revolution overthrew the rule of the ancient kingdom.

The Twenty Kings established a world government with the initial intention of uniting all nations to govern the world together, but the fruits of their revolution were stolen by someone...

This is truly a major news story that is enough to shock the world and shake the very foundation of the world government!

The Lost Century? Did world governments use extermination tactics to artificially induce natural disasters, causing the destruction of hundreds of countries and the loss of hundreds of millions of lives? That's all in the past.

Modern people cannot understand the suffering of the past, especially since this history has long been deliberately erased.

Therefore, this so-called lost history is not enough to ignite a massive war that supposedly swept the world.

However, if we include Im's involvement with the World Government, then things become different.

"With Uranus the King of Heaven ahead, the battle for public opinion is our current focus!" Long was shocked, and he looked intently at Sieg.

"What we need to determine most urgently now is... Mr. Sieg, how much do you know about Im, and how much damaging information do you have about her?"

Sieg nodded deeply.

"As many as you want, we have them all."

"I'm not bragging, but in this day and age, no one understands Im better than me."

He reached out, and a surge of telekinetic energy swept outwards to the distant Dushan warship, anchored on the coast several kilometers away. Inside the castle, a photograph flew out of a drawer and was caught by him.

This photo was taken in a location known to all: the Hall of the Void Throne.

A tall, slender figure sat on a void throne, shrouded in shadow, her face obscured.

On the floor in front of the throne, the swords of former kings are stuck diagonally.

Five dignified old men knelt at the foot of the steps, bowing their noble heads toward the figure on the empty throne.

“This…” Long’s eyes widened as he reached out and took the photo, his fingers trembling slightly.

"The Five Elders, the highest authorities of the World Government? They are kneeling and submitting to the master of the Empty Throne? Is this photo real? How was it taken?"

The dragon doesn't know Im.

However, the existence of the Five Elders is no secret.

“This photo… is a bit complicated to explain, but in short, it was taken by a friend of mine,” Sieg said thoughtfully.

The person who took the photo is a panda.

As historians of an ancient kingdom, the Pandaren record history not by memory, but also by pen.

Cameras and electronic storage devices were not considered high-tech items in ancient kingdoms.

This photo is a copy of the one that the Pandaren gave to Sig during their previous conversation, representing an important historical moment.

“I see…” The dragon looked at Sig with a puzzled expression.

"I was impolite before. It turns out your plan was already this meticulously prepared, even going so far as to trespass into the sacred site and take photos..."

Long was greatly impressed.

Sig and Long reached a consensus here: before the final battle, they would launch a propaganda war across the world.

The final big news story was quickly produced thanks to the efforts of Morgans, Gilman, and others, and began to spread in the New World through Morgans's channels.

..............

Shocking! The Void Throne has another master! The Void Emperor Im has stolen the fruits of the revolution!

Is the quadrennial world conference a smokescreen? The idea that member states jointly decide the world's direction is just an illusion.

The Ultimate Devil Fruit Creates Immortality: The 800-Year-Old Immortal Dictator

The new world has now become the new world of Liangshan Marsh.

When Sieg decided to publish news about Im, Morgans' newsbirds had already flown all over the New World Ocean within two days.

In addition, the Calm Belt has also fallen into Sieg's control.

In the following days, the Western and Northern Seas, which are connected to the New World via the Calm Belt, also began to have large numbers of newsbirds spreading a new newspaper.

When the news spread, the entire new world immediately erupted in excitement.

This incredibly explosive news, which delved into the explosive details about the World Government and Im, quickly became the focus of discussion among the people of the New World within half a day.

Sigmund placed great importance on the information war this time. This series of reports included everything from exposing news to scathing commentary, discussing the foundation of the World Government's existence and the illegitimacy of the Void Emperor from multiple perspectives.

A Void Emperor who deviates from the purpose of the World Government should not exist, or at least does not conform to the understanding of the world, and it is only natural that the people of the nations of the New World would begin to be angry.

Of course, the kings of the many member states of the New World reacted even more violently than the people of the other nations.

"The Void Throne has another master? That's impossible!"

"...The information above is incredibly detailed, and it even includes photos?"

"The Five Elders are the highest leaders of the World Government, how could they possibly kneel?"

"It's so detailed... there's no logical flaw, it's practically real... but how is this possible?"

The more closely the kings read the report, the more likely it was to be true, and the more horrified they became.

Im, the Celestial Dragon King lurking in the shadows, the master of the Hollow Throne who should not exist, the 800-year-old dictator...

Behind their chilling aura lay a complete and utter rage.

The kings of the member states can tolerate the Celestial Dragons riding on their heads.

After all, the Celestial Dragons are just a bunch of fat pigs kept in the Holy Land, without any real power, only possessing the titles of world nobles.

But what if... this is just an illusion?

A Celestial Dragon King, unknown even to the kings of the member states, secretly holds power over the entire world, extinguishing the so-called "light of history" with a wave of his hand.

The very existence of a figure who can arbitrarily interfere with the actions of the Five Elders indicates that the World Conference, held every four years, is merely a facade.

Compared to some vague "lost 100 years," it was the direct loss of their interests that truly enraged the kings of the constituent states.

This bombshell was so shocking that the news spread like wildfire throughout the New World, and soon it had reached the North Sea and the West Sea as well.

People spontaneously spread this shocking revelation, which neither the navy nor the world government could stop.

A few days later, the news even began to spread in the first half of the Grand Line, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, which Morgans' newsbird could no longer influence.

"The world government has been deceiving our member states all along!"

"It's not just the Celestial Dragons riding on our heads... Our kingdom pays exorbitant Celestial Gold to join the World Government, not to find a master to ride on our heads!"

"The World Government has long since degenerated, and the World Conference is a sham..."

When the Revolutionary Army soldiers surrounded a city of a member state in the New World, the city gates opened by themselves. Surrounded by the army, the king of the member state expressed his willingness to join the alliance to overthrow the World Government.

Chapter 1274 Traversing the Holy Land (6k)

The night was growing deeper.

But the town of Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, remained brightly lit, with conversations and discussions constantly taking place, making the night anything but peaceful.

When Sieg dropped a series of bombshell revelations in the newspapers, exposing the true nature of the World Government and Im, these shocking news stories inevitably reached the hands of these Marines, who eagerly circulated them.

In the eyes of the Navy, they are a righteous force, dedicated to eliminating pirates and upholding justice.

But the more they come into contact with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, the more wavering they become—after the slave emancipation incident two years ago, the conflict between the Navy and the World Government has become public knowledge.

Now, the detailed facts revealed in this newspaper have become the fuse that ignited the powder keg, instantly setting off the Navy's pent-up anger and discontent.

The existence of the Five Elders has long been known to the world.

So, aren't the Five Elders, who are ostensibly the leaders of the World Government, and Im, the Void Emperor, both leaders? What's the difference between them?

Worlds apart!

The official leaders are the Five Elders, who operate according to established rules. The Five Elders are part of the World Government; while they wield considerable power, they are also subject to checks and balances by the World Conference of the kings of the member states.

An unknown, immortal dictator is capable of far too many things; his very existence represents a breaking of the established rules.

It's as absurd as suddenly telling you that behind the leader and parliament of a superpower, there is an immortal monster controlling the country. All talk of separation of powers and democratic governance at world conferences becomes nothing but empty words.

This is absurd, a conspiracy theory, and everyone who sees it will scoff at it, thinking it's just an attention-grabbing conspiracy theory.

But the information that Sieg presented was extremely detailed and specific.

This is all thanks to the Pandaren.

The Pandaren, who acted as historians, talked to him about many secrets hidden in history, secrets that had now become sharp weapons in Sieg's hands.

The moment the blade was drawn, the worldviews of people and kings from various countries were shattered, and their very existence seemed to be shaken.

The whole world was in an uproar, and a heated discussion broke out in the navy, where they were also shaken.

"If the world government has already become corrupt, then what exactly are we protecting?"

"To protect the dictatorial rule of some Void Emperor? I didn't join the Navy for such an absurd reason!"

"Admiral Kizaru is truly insightful... I've also heard that he seems to have secretly joined the Revolutionary Army long ago—"

"You dare to talk nonsense about the general? Don't you value your life?"
