I, a Celestial Dragon!

When it comes to controlling people, Shanks can be said to be the best. His crew members do not believe in strength above all else, nor do they believe in bloodline.

People say that the three captains, Lakilu, Jesus and Beckman, each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but others don't care why Beckman became the vice captain.

Compared to the other Four Emperors, the Red Hair Pirates are the most thorough team of dreamers. Their internal structure is similar to that of any team that is in the middle stage of its start-up and is heading towards the peak of its career.

At this stage, the team members still have entrepreneurial passion and common dreams. They move forward with the same goal and truly enjoy the joy of their dreams gradually coming true.

Unless such a team transitions to the next two stages, there is only a slight chance of being breached from within.

Aside from Shanks, how do the other two Yonko rule people?

Whitebeard and Big Aunt rule over people by taking advantage of their clan ties.

On one hand, there is a son, on the other hand, there is a daughter.

On one hand, it is adoption, on the other hand, it is biological.

But without exception, when it comes to governing core members, they all chose the clan model. This model is almost unbeatable except for Shanks' dreamer entrepreneurial team.

The fact that the clan has been able to survive for tens of millions of years is enough to prove the superiority of this method!

Well, let’s not talk about how Whitebeard and Big Mom govern people, and just talk about the effectiveness of their governance.

Undoubtedly, between the two of them, Whitebeard's level of governance is much higher than Big Mom's.

So, let’s talk about aunt first.

The aunties’ way of governing is simple and crude, but extremely effective.

Nothing else, just pure high-pressure rule!

Especially because of the special nature of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom's high-pressure rule can easily raise the people's fear to the highest level.

This simple, crude but extremely effective way of governance is very common in the Middle East and Africa, including in Gawain's world!

Perhaps you think this approach is easy to tear apart?

Or do you think such a ruler can be easily overthrown?

Haha, you are wrong.

If this method is so easy to be exposed, then in many places in the real world ruled by high pressure, those bigwigs who behaved like this should have been overthrown by countless suffering civilians long ago!

But the reality is, haha.

Even the high-handed rule of the northern Myanmar group can last for a long time in our world that prides itself on being civilized and wise.

There is no other reason. Humans are also animals, and all animals have the ability to be domesticated!

As long as the first two generations who were ruled under high pressure failed to overthrow the rulers.

Then such high-pressure rule will never be overturned by the power from below!

Think about it, any force or country that has the ability to launch high-pressure rule in history, in the first two generations of the establishment of this force.

As long as their upper echelons are not corrupt and do not attack each other, they will always be defeated by dimensionality reduction attacks from the outside.

Any regime that was defeated by a rebellion from the bottom was definitely not an absolute high-pressure rule that enslaved civilians and oppressed the people.

We can illustrate this with almost any example.

The fact is that Big Mom, who is capable of implementing high-pressure rule for decades, has far more control over her territory than Kaido, but is inferior to Whitebeard.

Think of the mermaid kingdom, ruled only by high pressure...

No, the Mermaid Kingdom has not yet been ruled by high pressure. Because it is too far away from Big Mom, it only faces threatening rule.

Even so, Mermaid Island always remembers to meet Big Aunt's requirements and makes candies for her all the time.

This is how aunts demonstrate their influence in the world.

As for Whitebeard...

Whitebeard's control over the territory is, of course, unquestionably federal.

Whitebeard's fleet is the largest fleet on the sea. The captains under him are like the lords of countless states, and all of them serve the king, Whitebeard.

Whitebeard does not directly control those territories, which means that my subordinates' subordinates are not my subordinates!

This system was still in use in China during the Han Dynasty, for example, my lord’s lord is not my lord.

As for Europe, they were still using this plan until several hundred years ago.

I am the Earl's vassal and knight. I follow the Earl and obey the Duke, but I don't serve the Duke directly.

This system is prone to corruption.

But this system also has the effect of activating resources!

Because no matter what, under this system, the territory that comes to your hands is truly your territory!

He is not only an official of this territory, but also the actual owner of this territory, and his children and family will also be the heirs of the territory.

Simply put, this is the difference between nationalization and privatization!

In other words, this is a plan to privatize land and rights.

Everyone is more willing to devote all their efforts to the territory that truly belongs to him. It is difficult to meet a good official who is truly dedicated to the people and the city, but you can absolutely believe that there is no lord who does not want his territory to have stronger military and economy than others.

Because being an official is ultimately just working, it means working for others.

But the territory is yours!

In short, the lord system was eliminated because the quality of the lords varied greatly, but in the final analysis, the lords wanted to strengthen their own territories more than the officials.

This system has its advantages, but the bloodline inheritance system tied to it has gradually made it lose its potential, because except for entrepreneurs, it is difficult for business successors to possess all the abilities of the previous generation.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, their scattered federation is an emerging political entity.

In such a federation, the lords of each territory are the best entrepreneurs of the current era!

You could even see them as King Arthur and his knights.

This kind of lord during the start-up period can truly secure the country when he is on horseback, and the people when he is down!

It is precisely because of this that Whitebeard can always occupy the entrance and exit of the new era and eat the first batch of the most nutritious newcomers into his mouth.

The other three pirate emperors only got to eat the leftovers from Whitebeard's mouth!

And Whitebeard’s large fleet has always been the navy’s biggest enemy!

Think about it, in the entire One Piece world, he is the only person who can gather the three admirals, the seven warlords of the sea, and mobilize all the naval forces including Sengoku Garp...

There is only one Whitebeard fleet!

So far, among the same batch of Four Emperors, the other two who died were all overthrown by Luffy and other children.

All of this was due to external attacks that directly destroyed the core of their territory, and the way the two of them governed made it impossible for the territories they controlled to provide them with transfusions when they were frustrated.

Oh, whether it is the condescending contempt or the threat of continued oppression.

These things can only help leaders suck the blood of the people better!

How do you talk about ideals and responsibilities with the people living under this system?

People in this state will just roll their eyes at you!

Looking back now, the strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was constantly increasing, and the strength of the three admirals was gradually increasing due to the contrast with their opponents.

Against the backdrop of everyone becoming stronger, only Whitebeard's fleet was able to withstand the assembly of the entire navy and rescue Ace, who was supposed to die on the execution platform!

Although Ace eventually died at the hands of Akainu.

But that was Akainu, who chased the Four Emperors Blackbeard for a whole year and a half alone, and was still able to turn around and defeat Aokiji to become the marshal.

You want Akainu to fight the Whitebeard Pirates alone?

He might go, but he would only fantasize about winning, because he is only determined and proud, not stupid!

In short, it is about the rule of man by the core class.

Red Hair is greater than Kaido, greater than Big Mom, and greater than Whitebeard.

Because ideals are greater than reality and greater than bloodline constraints and non-bloodline emotional constraints!

Is it possible that Red Hair's men would betray him?

Has anyone of Kaido's subordinates, who have been under his control for more than three years, betrayed Kaido?

Some of the aunt's children do hate her, but they can only work for her without putting in any effort and will not and dare not betray her.

As for Whitebeard.

Not to mention Blackbeard, there was also another son who stabbed Whitebeard at the most critical moment...

As for the means of governing.

Whitebeard is greater than Big Mom, greater than Red Hair, and greater than Kaido.

This is why a united community of interests is greater than high-handed rule, and high-handed rule is greater than a lenient tax system and rule by ignorance.

Whitebeard's large fleet can gather together and attack the navy headquarters.

No one dares to betray the aunt in her territory.

The Red Hair's territory only knows how to pay money. They are the trading rules. They pay the money, and the Red Hair protects them from people like Kidd.

And Kaido.

He is full of resistance forces, especially those led by the Nine Red Scabbards of Wano Country...

This is probably the ecological comparison among the Four Emperors.

But it cannot be said that this represents the full abilities of the Four Emperors.

Whitebeard was too kind-hearted and lacked the ruthlessness to lead his subordinates like King Arthur's knights to launch a sweeping campaign across the world.

The aunt's madness also prevented her from transitioning from high pressure to gentleness in her territory. Her addiction to sweets and her desire for souls forced her to adopt the option of high pressure rule.

Because a kind leader cannot explain why he would go crazy and kill people and suck souls at any time.

And because good people are damn easy to be pointed at with guns...

As for Red Hair, he has only been one of the Four Emperors for less than two years, so he has plenty of time to govern.

And if Kaido didn't have persistence, he wouldn't have achieved anything. His pride made him everything. And because of the ridiculous fate, the only territory he cared about was unable to train a better future general Yamato who could completely control Wano Country...

As for the Four Emperors, you can feel that they each have their own personality and weaknesses.

But you have to recognize their individual abilities as leaders.

Everything that is achieved must have its roots.

And at this moment, Kaido's domineering and pride were shattered by Gawain's Black Bird.

Instead, his thoughts were elevated, and he began to understand more and more of the countless thoughts that he had missed in the past.

Looking at Gawain on the observation deck at this moment, Kaido took a long breath.

"That woman's voice will become the first torch that ignites the world, and I am the spark that ignites it all.

At the same time, he trampled on the reputation of the navy and pirates, so the height of the Xuanniao became more and more prominent. This man was announcing that he would stand in the forefront!

Oh, what a pity, if he is not a Celestial Dragon.

Or if he were my son...

How wonderful my life would be then.

But he wasn't, and I met him too early, what a funny fate!"

As he thought about it, Kaido walked to the edge of the execution platform with a grin on his face.

Looking at the stairs leading to the stage, he smiled and spoke softly.

“Haha, I’m treated much better than Roger. Before Roger died, there were two executioners standing there who were in the way.

But I, my execution stand is empty!"

Having said that, Kaido strode towards the execution platform, and in a few steps he arrived at the place where he was about to die.

Behind him, the escorting officers did not catch up, and he was the only one on the execution platform.

But even so, Kaido simply knelt there, looking indifferently at all the people who treated him as a piece of scenery.

Some people may not understand why he is so straightforward.
