It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

216 Yixiao: Brother Zoro is really good at leading the way

New world, Beehive Island.

After Kiana dealt with Wang Zhi, because of Kiana's departure, the island soon became the island where the Pirate Kings gathered.

At this time, Yixiao, who couldn't see the newspaper because his eyes were damaged, silently patted the shoulder of a pirate in front of him.

"Hello, young man."

"You're... quite... quite polite."

The pirate who was patted on the shoulder by Yixiao turned around and was about to chop Yixiao to death. He had just obtained a big sword, so how could he let others pat his shoulder casually?

But when he turned around and saw Yixiao's tall figure, which was several heads taller than him, and especially the huge scar on Yixiao's face, he instantly chose to follow his heart's instructions and silently put down the knife.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have heard you talking about world conscription, the admirals joining, and something about Kiana. I've been in the casino for quite a while now, and I don't know what's going on these days. Can you give me a detailed explanation?"

The pirate wanted to say no, but after looking at Yixiao's physique and then looking at his own small body, he estimated that there might be a gap between Yixiao's strength and his.

"Okay, please listen to me and I'll tell you slowly."

After feeling that Yixiao could put him in danger, the pirate immediately explained the matter of the newspaper to Yixiao without any hesitation.

"Oh, is that so? Sorry to bother you, bro."

"It's okay. If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, but brother, I have a piece of advice for you. It's best to leave this island as soon as possible. It's not safe here."

"understood."

The pirate nodded, and then, completely invisible to Yixiao, walked towards the interior of the island while agreeing.

He smiled and sighed, then silently drew his sword and a purple light shot into the sky.

"The world is so filthy, and all I see is darkness."

Yixiao finished speaking, and soon a meteorite fell from the sky, destroying Beehive Island, the gathering place of pirates, once again.

"The Queen of Fire has conquered Mary Geoise and is recruiting soldiers from all over the world..."

Yixiao thought, as a being in this world whose strength has reached the level of a navy admiral, he has seen too many injustices and wants to do something for this world.

He once thought about becoming a marine, but he just couldn't stand the darkness within the World Government and the navy.

After learning that many strong and righteous people were sent to die by some naval scum, he did not want to become a pawn of some corrupt naval elements, so he decisively gave up the path of joining the navy.

Having witnessed too many righteous navy officers being either deceived to death or choosing to fall, Yixiao, who no longer had much hope for the navy, set his sights on the revolutionary army.

However, his powerful observation Haki kept telling him to stay away from the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Long, so he had no choice but to give up the route of the Revolutionary Army.

So over the years, he could only choose to be a hero in secret, trying his best to save more people and eliminate more pirates.

As for changing the World Government or the Navy, he did want to, but whether it was to change or overthrow the Navy and the World Government, Yixiao knew that his power was too weak.

And now Kiana suddenly appeared. According to the information he got, Kiana was not a pirate. Even if she was wronged by the navy, Kiana never raised the pirate flag and became a pirate.

She even only targeted the navy generals who had troubled her in the past, and even the navy soldiers could survive from Kiana.

Later, they confronted the World Government because the Celestial Dragons wanted to capture Kiana as a slave. It can be said that there was no black spot on Kiana.

Of course, in Yixiao's opinion, the most important thing is the joining of Navy Admiral Aokiji.

Strong people at his level have basically been to many places and met many people.

He had more or less come into contact with the three admirals of the navy before. Among them, Akainu was extreme. As long as he could eliminate the pirates, he would do it no matter what the cost.

Even if the price is the lives of his subordinates, the lives of ordinary people, or Akainu's own life, Akainu can pay the price when necessary.

Akainu's tough approach did defeat many pirates and made a large number of pirates disappear from this world, but the disadvantage is that when Akainu eliminates the pirates, he may not necessarily take anything away.

The most pirates died at Akainu's hands, but the most civilians and navy officers also died at his hands. Yixiao couldn't comment on this, after all, sometimes the damage caused by a big pirate is immeasurable.

But Yixiao would never do that to Akainu.

Admiral Kizaru upholds ambiguous justice. Yixiao is a little unable to understand what he is thinking, but Yixiao is sure that he is not the same kind of person as Kizaru.

Among the three admirals, only Aokiji's philosophy is most in line with his. Before destroying the enemy, he should protect ordinary people first, which is closer to the justice that Ichishao upholds.

Therefore, when Yixiao learned that the person who ran to Kiana's side was Aokiji, Yixiao smiled.

"Even Admiral Aokiji took the initiative to run to Kiana's side. I really didn't expect that."

"Moreover, recruiting soldiers from all over the world, as long as you have the ability, you can directly serve as a high-ranking officer in the army, which is also what I need."

"Hmm? Are you going to join the World Conscription?"

As Yixiao was speaking, Zoro swam over from the sea.

"Yeah, it looks like I'll have to find the way. It's a bit troublesome."

"I'm familiar with the world's recruitment area, so come with me."

Yixiao smiled, and his observation Haki told him that Zoro had no ill will towards him at this moment, and was indeed full of confidence in the route.

This kind of self-confidence that comes from the heart is definitely not the kind of self-confidence that appears when you want to deceive others.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, brother."

Yixiao scratched his head and followed Zoro with a silly look to...the Marine Headquarters.

A smile: "..."

Yixiaozhen rolled his eyes.

"Brother, we..."

Zoro looked at the numerous marines and said firmly, "It's just that this road is shorter."

"Oh."

Yixiao's observation Haki swept across the entire Marine Headquarters and confirmed that there was no strong person here who could hurt him. Then he continued to follow Zoro to the Whitebeard Pirates' ship.

Thanks to the fact that Kiana had shown the Whitebeard Pirates her invincible power, Zoro was finally successfully sent to where Kiana was.

"See, I told you this way is closer."

"That's true. Sorry to bother you, brother."

In the end, Yixiao successfully became the admiral under Kiana. After possessing two admiral-level combat forces, Kiana stayed in the rear and officially declared war on the World Government.

217 War Results

When the Celestial Dragons were tortured to death in Marinjoa, and the Navy and the World Government were unable to rescue them, Kiana faced the World Government in the war, and the advantage quickly turned to Kiana's side.

Especially after Fu Hua became the new Navy Admiral, several battles directly defeated the Navy and the World Government.

It was only then that the World Government realized that there seemed to be many powerful people in the world who were unknown to them.

In desperation, the World Government could only continue to shrink its defenses. In just three months, 73 member states of the World Government had been overthrown by people sent by Kiana.

Sky Island.

After the execution of the Celestial Dragons was over, Kiana chose to leave Marinjoa, leaving only a certain number of troops there and marking the place. As long as the Five Elders dared to come back, Kiana could kill them at any time.

At this time, Kiana, as the maintainer of justice in the sky, was listening to Monet's report.

"Your Majesty, we have already conquered 73 member states that were once part of the World Government. The original royal families and nobles have been executed. Now, the World Government still controls only member states."

"In addition to this, through the troops brought by the incorporation of Germa 66, we also control a total of 127 non-World Government member states, large and small."

"It's just that those member states that aren't members of the World Government are too poor to form a fighting force in a short period of time."

"Well, what about population? Compared to the current World Government, which one controls more people?"

Kiana asked casually. Although there are many countries on her side now, Kiana understands that a country does not represent the population. Sometimes a big country is equivalent to the population controlled by dozens of small countries.

"There's still a big gap between us and the World Government. The ratio of people is about 30:70, with only 30% of us on this side, because many major powers are still under the control of the World Government."

"Can't those big countries defeat it?"

Kiana frowned slightly. With the strength of Yixiao and Kuzan, and the fact that she had not received any information from the admirals of the navy to deal with Yixiao and Kuzan, the big country should have been defeated long ago.

After all, the strength of either Yixiao or Kuzan alone is greater than that of a big country.

Monet shook his head. "It's not that we can't take it down, but General Yixiao and General Kuzan took the initiative to withdraw their troops."

"Voluntary withdrawal? What's going on?"

While Kiana was speaking, Yixiao had already brought his men back to Sky Island and came to Kiana.

"Let me tell you something. When I went to the Kingdom of Butlersler, it was not the navy and the World Government that rebelled this time, but the civilians."

"civilian?"

He smiled and nodded. "Well, unlike before, this time countless civilians have voluntarily stood before me. I can sense that they do not want to start this war, nor do they want the king and nobles to step down."

"Therefore, I disobeyed the war order and withdrew my troops. I am truly sorry."

"It's okay, but Butlersler?"

Kiana looked at Monet, who was in charge of intelligence, and then Monet slowly explained to Kiana.

"Butlersler was originally a relatively wealthy country. Although there were some nobles and royal families who oppressed the common people, thanks to its wealth, the people lived a relatively good life."

"Especially in the past two months, since the Celestial Dragons announced a reduction in the Heavenly Gold, the king and nobles also announced a reduction in their taxes."

"It's said that Butlersle has now implemented a strict thirty-one tax system in many places. Any lord who dares to oppress the people and make them pay too much tax will be executed regardless of the reason, and their territory will be confiscated."

"The king also enacted laws to restrict the nobles and aristocrats, strictly prohibiting any nobles and royals from oppressing the common people. As a result, he was even regarded by the people as one of the best kings in the world."

"One of them?" Kiana noticed the key point that Monet said.

"That's right. In addition to the many kings we have killed recently, the remaining kings, with the exception of the benevolent ones and even the former tyrants, have all changed their temperaments."

"The oppression of the lower classes almost disappeared during this period. In some countries, workers who once had to work 16 hours to make a living suddenly only needed to work 8 hours to support their families."

"And it's a huge expense. A year's income can buy a house, and an hour's work can feed an average family a day's worth of meat."

As Monet spoke, Kiana suddenly felt that this life seemed something she could imagine, because it seemed like something similar had happened in her previous life.

When Russia and the US were in a cold war, the US began to frantically increase the workers' salaries in order to prevent their lower-level workers from rebelling.

More than 70% of the factory's profits were distributed to the workers, giving them much better treatment than the Russians across the street.

The Eagle Sauces back then were afraid that they would all be hung on street lamps after being defeated. The kings and nobles today are in a similar situation. When their lives are threatened, they immediately make the same choice as the Eagle Sauces.

As for the kings and nobles who did not make that choice and were still foolish, they had all been buried by Kiana's men.

Those who survived were kings who chose to lower their living standards to maintain their status.

"I've been to that country before. It was indeed a rather unpleasant place back then, but now their citizens live a good life, and almost everyone genuinely expresses happiness."

"I know the king there was forced to do this, but I don't want to bring war to a country where civilians are finally happy."

Kiana nodded. "You did the right thing."

Whatever the king's purpose, it is a fact that ordinary people gain practical benefits.

Now that her side has completely gained the upper hand and the World Government is unable to turn the situation around, minimizing the harm to civilians as much as possible is what Kiana needs to consider most.

Maybe the previous kings were not good, but if they can pretend to be good kings all their lives, and even the next king, and even the next king can pretend to be a good king all their lives, this will also be a good thing for the common people.

After all, Kiana also understood that the world was too vast and there were too many people. As long as there were many people, classes would emerge, and the emergence of classes would inevitably be accompanied by oppression.

Those who stand up now to resist the slavery of the world government may end up like Zhu Yuanzhang and his sons.

Fathers have suffered so they don't oppress the people below, but many of their sons who have never suffered are no less capable than the original slave owners, although Kiana can use supervision to prevent this from happening as much as possible.

But now Kiana's only means of supervision are the Key of Consciousness and Violet's devil fruit ability.

After a long time, when a new generation comes, there will be too many corrupt people and it will be hard to say whether they can be monitored.

In a country where the lower class people already feel happy, starting a war that kills 80% of the people and then exchanging it for an uncertain future, Kiana feels that this is worse than the oppression of the World Government.

"But can we win over the king to our side? Of course, I mean if he doesn't change his policies."

He smiled and shook his head. "We've killed too many kings and nobles. And if he really gets to us, without being a threat, he might just change back."

"I see. Is it the same on your side, Aokiji?"

Aokiji scratched his head. "Ah, la la, it's basically the same as what Brother Yixiao said. I can't bring myself to attack a country where the civilians are already happy."

Kiana looked at Monet. "Is it the same in all other countries?"
