"Seizing power" in the world of One Piece rarely succeeds.
In addition to the different thinking of those in power at different times, there are also public sentiment and too many interests involved.
As a ruler, you have to consider not only your rights, but also the responsibilities that come with your rights.
Where are the pirates causing trouble again
What is the share of heavenly gold this year
Everything from the government's decision-making direction to the people's food and clothing needs to be taken into consideration, and every possible means is needed to maintain one's dominance.
And not just a declaration of "power."
When raising the banner of resistance, such as today's revolutionary army, indeed, as long as there is strength, it will be fine.
But if the decision-making power of the government is really given to them, can they do it well
Answer…
hehe!
Just look at those non-franchised countries that were instigated by them to rebel. They overthrew a group of corrupt rulers, supported another group of righteous rulers, and then...
Just leave them to fend for themselves and move on to the next oppressed country.
With the world government and the Celestial Dragons weighing on everyone's hearts, there is nothing wrong with doing so. The revolutionary army does not have the energy to shift its focus to the follow-up management of the rebel country.
But what if this mountain is moved away
It's just repeating the process.
It may not even take much time, just a moment. In the process of getting the news, these freedom-seeking warriors will become what they once hated most.
However…
These problems are not seen at all in Ron.
The biggest difference between him and these revolutionary soldiers who care about their own affairs and pirates who just enjoy the present is that his ambition allows him to embrace all rivers and see everything from an outsider's perspective.
He doesn't care at all about what happened in the past and the 100 years of history that disappeared. He just wants the world to run according to his own wishes. That's all his motivations and reasons.
Shanks suddenly understood this and why Rayleigh chose to die to help the revolutionary army.
Because Canglong is not just an enemy of any camp, the changes he will bring are unprecedented!
Pirates, the revolutionary army, and even anyone with lofty ideals must unite to contend with this monster that relies on the world government.
And now, it is his first step to officially send out greed and malice towards the supreme authority, using this extremely tragic reality to shake the absolute authority of the Five Old Stars!
And... it's very likely to succeed!
He was fortunate, or rather unfortunate, to witness this period of history.
Wu Laoxing was silent after hearing this.
The bearded Five Old Star glanced at Ferick, his fingers trembling slightly.
Im had ordered the extinguishing of countless "lighthouses" that had illuminated the way forward for future generations in the name of pursuing freedom for hundreds of years. But no one thought that one day, as destroyers, they themselves would become the eyes of others. A thorn in the side.
It is still a challenge issued by them in their self-sustained government capacity.
But can you blame Ron
Even the most fiery-tempered swordsman and the two old men from the Mediterranean looked gloomy and remained silent.
They really tried their best.
It’s just that this era is really unfriendly.
If you don't do well, don't blame others for being ambitious and challenging your position.
As long as there is no problem with the starting point, Ron... is just!
Bulu Bulu… Bulu Bulu…
Suddenly, the phone rang.
The bearded Five Old Star was suddenly startled and looked behind him.
On the finely carved precious table wood, a telephone bug opened its eyes and kept making sounds.
Only Im knew the number of this phone bug. Once upon a time, every time Im summoned them, he would contact them through this phone bug. That was their most glorious moment.
But now...
Click!
While the bearded five-old star was silent for a while, someone picked up the phone.
Nibelung Ferrick wielded his cane and spoke calmly: "Lord Im, you heard it all."
"It's so noisy outside, how could I not hear it..."
On the other side of the phone bug, in the flower room, Im was watering the flowers with a hand-held watering can. Next to him was the butler and messenger, Vic, who was holding the phone bug in both hands and serving him respectfully.
It was obviously something that happened thousands of miles away, but Im's tone sounded like the noise coming from the opposite street through a door.
"I'm extremely sorry! This matter..."
"Pass Ron's call over."
Ferric was about to apologize, but Im suddenly interrupted.
This obviously unfriendly move made Wulaoxing feel cold and he was under unprecedented pressure.
Ferick smiled bitterly when he heard this and looked behind him.
The bearded Five Old Star hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and put down the phone bug.
"Moxi Moxi, can you hear me?"
Distant waters, aboard the Redfors.
"This is… !!!"
Bald Zero looked horrified, and suddenly turned his head and pushed his palm, pushing all the pirates including Shanks away.
Although at this distance, they couldn't hear the chat content of several people at all, but as long as there was a slight possibility, Zero would not allow that to happen.
Not to mention, Im taking the initiative to contact outsiders who are not from the Five Old Stars through a phone bug. This is an unprecedented event!
Ron's face straightened instantly and he knelt down on one knee.
"I can hear you, Lord Im!"
Facing the god-like Im, Ron did not dare to take it lightly.
"You are indeed as ambitious as Orric, Ron."
Im said calmly.
The invisible feeling of depression instantly tightened Ron's heart, making his heart beat faster.
Then Im continued.
"But you know better than him, and I don't hate that."
"Ambition is a good thing. Only ambitious people will cherish everything they have and have the motivation to rack their brains to keep everything they have. They are afraid of using it in the wrong place."
Im's tone was very calm, not even a hint of anger or dissatisfaction could be heard.
Whether it's to the Five Old Stars or to Ron.
With his status at his level, there was really no need to blush and scold loudly because of things that happened every few decades.
Because everything is just an inconspicuous wave in his long life. It is an insignificant speck of dust under the wheel of history.
When you are sitting on a carriage and you pause for a pebble, will you get angry and stop to smash the pebble to vent your anger
The answer, of course, is no.
Because this kind of thing cannot enter his sight at all.
Ignorance is the most perfect interpretation of rights!
"This subordinate is ashamed. He is really unwilling to do so and has no choice but to take this step!"
Ron did not deny or defend, but humbly apologized.
For Im, his true thoughts are not important at all. Because to Ron, everyone else thought the same thing.
In addition, no matter what the reason is, alarming Im is an unforgivable sin for them as subordinates!
"Well, that won't be an exception, do you understand?"
There was no wave in Im's voice, like a kind elder giving instructions to a naughty kid.
However, Ron could smell the undeniable determination in Im's voice through these words.
"My subordinate understands!"
"That's good, let Shanks and the others leave... Remember not to give him the pure gold, just give him a box."
Immu nodded with satisfaction and continued: "By the way, are you interested in becoming the new Five Old Stars?"
Become... the new Five Old Stars? ! !
As soon as these words came out, not only did Ling almost stare out of his eyes, but the five old stars on the holy land even closed their eyes with sadness on their faces, knowing that this was the price that Im was dissatisfied with them and had to bear.
It was also an answer given to Ron to appease Ron.
Because in Im's eyes at this moment, all the characteristics displayed by Ron are undoubtedly more suitable for this chaotic era than them.
And all the Tianlong people are infected with the disease, and their future is uncertain.
The rule that "Dragon people are not allowed to be promoted to the Five Old Stars" has been broken unknowingly.
