Chapter 131 Waves (1)
With the official appointment of the World Government, the news that "tax resister" Profik became the first "King of the Shichibukai" spread throughout the sea with the "World Economic News".
Suddenly, as if a huge boulder had been thrown into a calm pond, the news of the establishment of the "Ocean Shichibukai" sparked heated discussions around the world.
The vast majority of ordinary people were confused at first, and then under the guidance of the World Government, they quickly accepted the setting of "The King's Shichibukai". After all, they think more about their own lives. As long as daily life is not disturbed, it makes no difference whether it is "Shichibukai" or "Yachibukai".
What's more, the Shichibukai's regulations clearly stated that civilians from the participating countries were not allowed to be robbed, so wouldn't that have nothing to do with him? Although he was a pirate before, it seems that he has become a protector of civilians since then? Many civilians hold this view, so for the first time, the view of the Shichibukai in this sea is barely positive.
From the perspective of most ordinary people, there is no way to understand the loopholes and mysteries contained in the Shichibukai system.
There are also some civilians who have been harassed by pirates. Based on their own tragic experiences, they vaguely feel that there is something wrong with the "Shichibukai" system.
"Can these lawless pirates abide by their agreement with the government?" This is the simple worry of many civilians who have been harassed by pirates.
However, fortunately, Daybreak never disturbs civilians, so this worry is not too much at the moment.
It is estimated that the contradictions caused by the Shichibukai's intrusion on civilians will become more prominent after a more ferocious pirate becomes the Shichibukai.
There are also many navies with righteous hearts who are deeply disappointed with the cooperation between the World Government and pirates, and even announced their withdrawal from the navy on the spot...
Of course, there are also knowledgeable people who can see the intention of the World Government in establishing the King's Shichibukai, and many people can even foresee the possible results of the King's Shichibukai system. Of course, everyone has different opinions on this matter.
……
A certain area of the New World.
Moby Dick.
The phoenix fruit user in human-animal form flapped his wings and delivered the latest issue of the newspaper to his captain.
Taking the newspaper from Marco, Whitebeard simply glanced at it and handed it back.
Unlike Whitebeard, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates reads the newspaper carefully. As the "eldest son" of the Whitebeard Pirates family, Marco has a strong sense of responsibility. He never misses any way to obtain information from all parties on the sea, and strives to eliminate possible risks for his younger brothers and sisters.
"Dad, with the addition of His Majesty Shichibukai, the World Government will be even stronger. When the time comes, we..." The first thing Marco thought of was the less powerful partners on the ship. What if the World Government uses this "His Majesty's "Shichibukai" will be the vanguard to sweep the new world, which will probably cause huge casualties.
"Gula la la la~~" The strongest man in the world let out his iconic laugh. After spending most of his life fighting against the world government, he couldn't see the wishful thinking of establishing the King's Shichibukai, "My Silly son, there is no need for us to worry about this!"
At the same time, he clearly knows that the purpose of the world government is not so easy to achieve.
The five old guys from the World Government stood so high that they couldn't see clearly what was underneath.
There is no pirate who can't see that the World Government wants to use the King Shichibukai as a sharp knife. In this case, it is hard to say how long it will take for the World Government to recruit enough candidates for the Shichibukai! What's more, how could it be Yi Yu who took such a risk to join the Shichibukai?
It’s not certain who is using whom!
Besides, no matter what, as the "strongest man in the world", he has enough confidence - the Shichibukai will never be able to shake the status of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Marco and the others, on the other hand, were messed up because of such a "little thing". It seems that they still need to hone their skills!
……
Chambord Islands.
Island Thirteen has always been an area where criminals gather. Opening a bar in such a place does not seem to be a good idea.
After all, it is unrealistic to expect the vicious pirates to pay after drinking.
However, surprisingly, there is a bar in this area that has been open for several years and is still standing.
This bar has a very special name, "Xia Qi's rip-off bar", which simply has the word "rip off customers" written directly on the sign.
It was a miracle that such a bar was not demolished by the pirates.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were several loud noises coming from Xia Qi's rip-off bar, as if a customer was trying to cause trouble.
After a while, the bar became quiet again.
A tall, thin, charming "young" beauty with a pipe in her mouth and wearing a spider-patterned top opened the store door. This person is none other than the owner of this store. At this time, she was holding a pirate with a big bag on his head, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and was beaten to the point of doubting his life.
She threw the other party outside the house and hung a "Closed Today" sign on the door of the store. She walked back into the house again, "You actually want to default on your debt. Today's young pirates are really unqualified!"
The shopkeeper's complaints made the pirate, who was almost unconscious, dare to be angry but dare not speak out - a bar where a bottle of wine costs hundreds of thousands of berries, a beautiful but violent proprietress...
He felt that his world view had been severely impacted. When did a delicate woman have such strength?
"His Majesty Shichibukai, what do you think?" The woman who returned to the store elegantly sat back in front of the bar and looked at the man sitting beside her.
"Oh," the muscular man with a scar on his right eye took a sip of beer, without any worry in his tone, "The rampage of the times cannot be stopped like this!"
After living in seclusion in the Shampoo Islands for nearly ten years, the trend of events on the sea has been developing step by step according to Captain Roger's original prediction. He has a premonition that the "new era" that Captain Roger sacrificed his life for will soon come! By then, this world, which has been like a pool of stagnant water for eight hundred years, will undergo irreversible changes!
"Down to the Shichibukai..." Silbaz Rayleigh shook the wine glass gently, and his eyes under the round glasses suddenly appeared.
For the former empress of the Amazon Kingdom and the "right arm of the Pirate King" "Pluto" Rayleigh, whether it was the pirate troubles or the establishment of the Shichibukai, they were just a blip in their peaceful and boring retirement life. A little tweak.
