Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Nami asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't your brother Ace be so great? These people are all trying to save him!"

Luffy laughed. "It should be said that Whitebeard wanted to save him, so the others went to save him. These people must be really loyal to Whitebeard, so no matter what decision Whitebeard makes, they will follow Whitebeard's steps without hesitation!"

【"ah??"】

[Hearing this, the companions around were shocked~]

[Is this Whitebeard really that awesome? ? ]

At this moment, Buggy, his upper body suspended in mid-air, rubbed his chin with his hand, wondering, "What's wrong with these Marines? While the Captain of Whitebeard's Second Division is a very important figure, why would they make such a big fuss about it? A public execution, with advance notice, so everyone in the world knows about it!! It forced Whitebeard to come and rescue him, otherwise he'd lose his place in the New World."

"Now that it's become such a huge war, I'm sure Zhan Guo is regretting it so much that his intestines are turning green~~~" Buggy said with a faint sneer.

“Ahahaha!! No no no, Buggy, you’re wrong.”

Luffy chuckled and said firmly, "Actually... this war is aimed at Whitebeard! Ace is just an important pawn in the Navy's plan!"

"Going for Whitebeard?" Buggy was a little stunned. Half of his body flew back and connected with his lower body.

Luffy shrugged. "That's not hard to analyze, is it? If the Navy really just wanted to execute Ace, then they could have done it anytime, anywhere! Even broadcast it live to the world. Yesterday, when Ace was publicly executed, the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't even assembled yet. What else could they do? Why would they have to wait for the Whitebeard Pirates to arrive?"

"To put it bluntly, it's just using Ace as bait to catch the 'super big fish' of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Luffy said.

【"hiss....!!"】

Listening to Luffy's analysis, not only did the Straw Hat Pirates take a deep breath, but even the people around them gathered around curiously to listen to Luffy's analysis.

A bystander exclaimed, "Oh my god! Straw Hat man, after hearing your analysis, it really is true! I can't believe a leader like Whitebeard couldn't figure out the navy's plan!!"

“That’s where you’re wrong!”

Luffy smiled softly, a gentle spring breeze on his face. He looked at the crowd, "If Whitebeard couldn't even see such an obvious conspiracy, he wouldn't have become one of the Four Emperors today!! He must have seen it, but there was a reason why he had to save him~~~"

"What's the reason?" another onlooker asked curiously.

"I don't know about that..." Luffy spread his hands and said honestly.

At this time, a local merchant in the Sabaody Archipelago said, "But... Marine Headquarters is so determined to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates this time. It seems they really care about the people of the world!"

Zhan Guo: "This is a conscious person!!"

Crane: "It seems that ordinary people are still on the side of the navy!!"

Shiqi: "Just because one person speaks for your navy, does that mean everyone is on your navy's side?"

Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!! You're as shameless as ever!"

【"What??"】

Luffy opened his mouth in surprise, then revealed a speechless expression: "Uncle..., what business are you in?"

"I run a bakery," the melon-eating uncle replied.

Luffy asked: "If you saw a homeless person starving on the street, would you give him a piece of bread from the store?"

"I will!" the melon-eating uncle said without hesitation.

Luffy then asked, "What if there are hundreds of homeless people begging in front of your shop? Will you give them all the bread in your shop?"

The melon-eating uncle glared at them, "Impossible! I have a family to support myself! If I take out all the bread, won't my family and I starve to death?"

Luffy nodded: "Yeah...!! If you understand this, how could the Marines not understand it?"

Luffy continued, "If you say the Navy sends a team to eliminate the pirates, then I believe it! But if you say they use all of the Navy's resources to eliminate the pirates... don't say I don't believe it, the World Government will be the first to disagree!!"

“Oh~~?”

At this time, a silver-haired old man wearing glasses heard Luffy's words and came over curiously. He laughed cheerfully and said, "Then tell me, if the navy launched such a large-scale war, what is the purpose, if not for justice?"

[Bucky looked up and suddenly his mouth dropped open!!]

Gol D. Roger: "Haha! Rayleigh, what are you doing there?"

Shanks: "Baki was shocked to see you~~"

Silver Baz Rayleigh: "Ahem..., how do I know what I'm doing over there..."

Xia Qi: "This old guy just can't sit still and loves to meddle in other people's business!!"

Edward Newgate: "Gulala...!"

At this time, Luffy continued, "Uncle... I believe that there must be many true heroes in the navy who are willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect civilians for justice! But... if a war requires the participation of the entire navy, then the purpose behind it can be summed up in two words..."

"What?" the silver-haired man asked cooperatively.

["Benefits!" Luffy said calmly.]

Zhan Guo: "What nonsense!!"

Sakaski: "The purpose of this war is indeed just two words, and it's not profit, but... justice!!"

Crane: "I thought Red Luffy over there could analyze everything, but it's all nonsense!!"

Sora: "Haha!! What serious nonsense!"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, but Luffy said calmly, "The World Government uses the Navy to manage its member states! If we launch a war of this magnitude, regardless of whether the Navy wins or loses, if the losses are too great, the Revolutionary Army will surely take advantage and take over some of the World Government's member states. This is something the World Government cannot afford!"

"If that's what you're saying, then why did the Navy start this war? Isn't that a contradiction?" Rayleigh asked doubtfully.

[He's not pretending to be stupid, but he really doesn't understand why the war at the top happened~~]

He also understood what Luffy was saying. Even if the Navy won this battle, at most they would cripple the Whitebeard Pirates!!

[But..., even if Whitebeard falls, there will definitely be Blackbeard, Bluebeard, Redbeard, and Flowerbeard...]

[There will always be a new pirate force that takes advantage of the situation and becomes the new pirate force! ! ]

[If it's just to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, there's no point! ]

Luffy looked at his hands. "When someone does something that's bound to be a loss, the answer is obvious!! Either... if they don't do it, they'll lose even more!! Or... there's a potential greater benefit worth taking a gamble on! In short, others may not see it, but he definitely sees it!"

[Listening to Luffy's explanation, Rayleigh seemed to be thinking about something~]

He looked at Luffy and said, "Can you guess what the Navy would suffer if they didn't destroy the Whitebeard Pirates? Or, in other words, what potential benefits would they gain if they destroyed the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Luffy thought for a moment, "I can make a guess! First of all, I don't think it's the Navy that wants to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, but the World Government!! A Navy Admiral wouldn't have the guts to start a war of this magnitude without the World Government's approval."

"Secondly, it's easy to guess what the World Government cares about! Either the Whitebeard Pirates have touched upon the World Government's taboo, like O'Hara did, resulting in a hundred years of blank history. Or, the Whitebeard Pirates have touched their cake~~"

"Of course, I think the latter is more likely!"

"According to the intelligence I've recently obtained, I've discovered that the people of the islands under the Whitebeard Pirates' control live in peace. There's no need to worry about being harassed by other pirates on May 5.7th. The people are very morale-boosting!"

[“And this is exactly what the world’s governments least want to see!!”]

"Because the World Government knows that the power of example is the most terrifying! If other pirates follow Whitebeard's example, then the World Government will become irrelevant in the eyes of the common people..."

"The World Government can allow the existence of brutal, evil pirates, because such pirates will only drive the people's hearts towards the World Government... The World Government needs them to exist temporarily!!"

[And Whitebeard, a pirate who "would never ask a single berry from the civilians in his jurisdiction," is competing with the World Government for the "hearts of the people." The World Government will never allow such an ignorant person to exist! !]

"When Whitebeard was strong and powerful, even if the World Government wanted to eliminate him, they were worried about the huge losses!! But now... Whitebeard is old, weak, and sick. It's time to kill him and establish his authority!"

"If you were the World Government, would you choose to do this?"

Luffy finished his analysis, pouted at Rayleigh, and asked calmly.

Rayleigh's expression was unsettling, but his heart was deeply shaken!!!

He had to admit that if it were the role of the world government, he would do the same...

[In fact, the reason why Rayleigh came to talk to Luffy was, firstly, because Luffy's analysis attracted him, and secondly, because he recognized the straw hat on Luffy's head at a glance...]

[And now, after listening to Luffy's analysis, he finally understood! ! ]

[The fact that Roger's straw hat is on this kid's head might not be a coincidence...]

[They arrived at Raftel with Roger, but after arriving, they realized they were there too early!]

[And now, he looked at the boy in front of him, his breathing quickened slightly~~]

Is he... the person in the prophecy?

Chapter 146: Navy Headquarters, the Straw Hat Pirates are coming! (Subscribe!)

Chabaoti Archipelago~~~

After listening to Red Luffy's analysis, everyone fell into deep thought!

indeed!

Just as Red Luffy said, the World Government wants to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates at all costs. Is it just for justice?

Do not make jokes! !

The world's government has existed for 800 years, and pirates have also existed for 800 years!

When have you ever seen the world's government go to such great lengths to destroy a pirate group?

Even if it was the Pirate King Roger, the world government would not hesitate to use all the navy's wealth to deal with him.

Now, all the elite members are out for the Whitebeard Pirates!

This is indeed unreasonable!

You know, if the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates go to war, who can guarantee that other royal groups will not join in?

Isn't the Navy afraid that the pirate groups will take the opportunity to join forces and fight against the Navy Headquarters?

Although the possibility is very small, it is possible after all!!!

But even with such a risk, the world government still let the navy take the initiative to provoke such a war!!!

Fools may believe the "justice" spoken of by the world's governments, but anyone with even a little common sense wouldn't believe such ridiculous talk.

Until Red Luffy's analysis

People suddenly woke up in shock!!

Yes..., even though the Whitebeard Pirates have never fought for supremacy in the past twenty years, the influence of the Whitebeard Pirates is growing! !

Among the four emperors' pirate groups today, the Whitebeard Pirates undoubtedly have the greatest power and influence!!

As long as it is an island under his jurisdiction, the civilians all affectionately call him "Dad!"

This shows how important Whitebeard is in the hearts of ordinary people!!

It is precisely because of this that the "people's hearts" cake has been moved, and the world's governments can no longer sit still! !

The Whitebeard Pirates must be eliminated!!

If they really want to fight against pirates for the sake of so-called justice, then they should obviously deal with pirate groups like the Beasts Pirates that are causing harm to the region first!!

But the world's governments did not do so, and the answer is obvious!!

In their eyes, the Beasts Pirates are "beneficial" and the Whitebeard Pirates are "harmful"!!

Maccus Maz Saint: "What nonsense!! How can he say such outrageous things so seriously!! This Red Luffy is such a bastard!!

Topman Vochulisheng: "What's even more ridiculous is that those people in the video actually believed what he said! 15! What a bunch of hopeless idiots!!"

Sora: "When will it be Whitebeard's turn to compete with the World Government for the hearts and minds of the people? Is he worthy?"

Zhan Guo: "What a bastard, spreading lies to confuse the people!!"

Edward Newgate: "Gulala...!! Are you so anxious? Are you feeling guilty about something?"

Gol D. Roger: "Red Luffy was right, wasn't he? Hahaha!! The so-called cornered dog will jump over the wall, which is probably what you guys are like now, right?"

Shiki: "Hahahahaha!! I really didn't expect that there are so many secrets hidden behind a war! But after listening to Red Luffy's analysis, it seems to be true!"

Marco: "Dad has protected so many people over the years. Under Dad's protection, these people don't have to worry about being bullied by pirates, nor do they have to pay any heavenly gold!"

Joz: "Dad was just trying to protect some people to the best of his ability!! Why is he being targeted like this?!"

Izo: "Damn Sengoku, damn Five Elders!! You really deserve to die!!"

Sakaski: "Stop talking nonsense!! It's only natural for the navy to kill pirates!"

Edward Newgate: "Magma boy, are you brainwashed? What in this world is right and proper? What they do is nothing but for their own benefit!!"

Crane: "Oh? So, you, Whitebeard, used those civilians for your own purposes?"

Edward Newgate: "Haha, you're as smart as the Chief of Naval Staff, you're setting me up for a fight whenever you get the chance! But, what's the harm in answering you? As for me... I just enjoy the feeling of having family!! Those civilians, if they're willing to call me Dad, I'm willing to protect them!!"

Portgas D. Ace: "Dad!!"
