Modena Island is an island famous for its winemaking skills in the New World. Before being protected by Big Mom, the old mayor had thought about joining the ranks of the government's member states. However, after seeing the high amount of heavenly gold, after long-term consideration, he finally chose to hand over sweets to Big Mom to ensure the peace of their town.
There's nothing we can do, that's the rule of the new world.
It would be ridiculous to survive in this era of pirates without someone to rely on.
Especially in the New World known as the "Pirate Paradise".
It is precisely because of this that the situation in the New World has become what it is today, with nearly 70% of the territory ruled by the Four Emperors, and the remaining 30% being managed by the Navy's G1 Headquarters. The Four Emperors and the Navy divide the world into five parts. This is the current map structure of the New World.
Although it is said that the world is divided into five parts, in reality, before the navy moved its headquarters to the New World, the territory they controlled was less than 20%. If it were not for the battle of Marineford two years ago that severely damaged the Whitebeard Pirates, and if they had not taken advantage of the situation to launch a large-scale attack, they would not even be able to take over the extra 10% of the territory.
Someone may ask, doesn't the World Government rule the entire world? The Celestial Dragons even call themselves the Lords of the Sea, so why is 70% to 80% of the New World still ruled by the Four Emperors
This is because...the New World only occupies a very small part of the entire ocean.
Judging from the map, the four seas occupy the largest area. The entire Grand Line only has a small horizontal road in the middle, and the New World only occupies the latter half of the Grand Line.
In this way, except for the New World, the other four seas and the first half of the Grand Line are almost all the territory of the World Government. Doesn't this count as the world of the World Government and the Navy
As for why the New World could not be conquered...
That's because almost all the powerful pirates have entered this sea area, and coupled with the terrain problem, it is really difficult for the navy to clear out all the pirates here.
However..
It's different now.
BIG MOM and Kaido fell from the throne one after another, which undoubtedly opened a gap in the navy's path to conquer the New World. The World Government will certainly not let it go easily.
This is also why, when Vivian proposed to come to the Big Mom Pirates' territory in the New World to rescue civilians, Crane had almost no intention of refusing.
She couldn't be happier that someone had volunteered to come to the New World to help the World Government attract more member countries.
Similarly, Kizaru and Green Bull were also sent to various islands in the New World to begin capturing pirates and protecting civilians.
But as to where they would rank civilians from non-member countries in the process of capturing pirates, Vivian had no idea.
"Admiral Thunder, ever since Big Mom was defeated by you, pirates have started to become rampant here. At first, everyone was relatively restrained because they were afraid of Big Mom, but when those guys saw the photo of Big Mom being shot down and unconscious in a deep pit published in the newspaper, they immediately became unscrupulous..."
In the past few days, many pirates have tasted the sweetness of success in their town and started burning, killing, and looting.
If it weren't for the fact that the town's guards were relatively strong, the area outside the city would probably have been filled with the bodies of civilians.
"Are there still pirates in the city now?"
"Originally there were quite a few of them, but when they learned that you would come to this island, they all ran away in a panic." The mayor bent over and said to Vivian with a smile on his face.
"Yeah?"
Vivian raised an eyebrow when she heard this.
He wondered how the news of his going to Modena Island had leaked out, and why he didn't know about it.
My mind began to wonder.
Little did he know that on the first day of his departure, He had already had the news spread throughout the New World.
There is no other reason.
General Thunder, who just defeated BIG MOM and is in the limelight, has entered the New World to visit the territories of the former Four Emperors. Once this news becomes known to the world, wouldn't those islands that have no one to rely on because of the fall of the Four Emperors have one more option
On one side is the vicious new Pirate Emperors, and on the other side is the naval organization under the control of the World Government. And when Tenjo Gold has been reduced, who will you choose
Yes, the main topic discussed at the last world conference was the problem of the excessively large amount of gold in the sky.
Although the content of this meeting was opposed by most of the Celestial Dragons, it was finally unanimously approved by the Five Elders.
Is it because those Celestial Dragons have a change of heart
Of course not.
This is simply because Yinm saw that reducing the amount of Heavenly Gold would bring more benefits to the World Government.
After the pirates in the New World are wiped out, this last tough bone will have been chewed off by them. By then, the entire New World will be theirs. After everything is settled, won’t they be able to collect taxes however they want
There is no need to rush.
Vivian didn't think too much about this.
At the moment, he just wanted to provide shelter to the civilians in front of him. As for what happened next, it would be left to the Revolutionary Army and Luffy and the others. Vivian didn't want to care about political matters.
"Come on, take me around town first. After we sign the alliance agreement, our headquarters base will send the navy to garrison on your island."
Vivian said, pointing to the Big Mom pirate flag in front of the port, "As for this thing, from today on, you can replace it with the flag of the World Government."
...
"Is that the Thunder Swordsman?"
"Wrong! What Thunder Swordsman? He is now the Thunder General!"
In the small town of Modena Island, all the civilians stepped back and stood on both sides of the road, looking curiously at Vivian, who was wearing a cloak of justice and walking slowly towards them.
"Thunder General..."
"Is this the legendary navy warrior who is as famous as the Four Emperors?"
"You're still wrong! General Vivian defeated Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, in Wano Country a few days ago. This can no longer be described as 'on par'. To be precise, Vivian is even stronger than the Four Emperors!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and cast their eyes on the young man wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses.
"Ahem..." The young man coughed when he saw this, as if he didn't want to attract people's attention, so he quickly changed the subject: "But don't you find that he seems to be more handsome in person than in the photo?"
“It seems to be true.”
"I heard that the Thunder General has always been very kind. I wonder if I can go up and ask for his autograph or something..."
After hearing this, many civilian women began to touch their hair shyly, and their whole demeanor became pretentious.
