The Celestial Dragons, descendants of the Creator, enjoy all the privileges and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the true "rulers" of this world. Similarly, Yin, who holds the highest position in the world government, is obviously the "king" of this world.
And now, Shanks actually told Vivian that he and Dragon wanted to overthrow the rule of the World Government in one fell swoop and then elect Vivian as the new king
After saying this, Vivian was not only confused, but also felt unbelievable.
Monkey D. Dragon doesn't want to be the king himself, but instead wants to push him, the admiral of the navy, to the position. What the hell is going on
Am I his illegitimate child
"No matter how you think about it, it's more likely to push Luffy to be the ruler of the World Government..." he muttered in his heart.
However, Shanks then went on to explain: "Do you find it hard to understand? But I think that Mr. Long's decision is a very good idea."
"What do you mean?" Vivian asked.
"First point." Shanks held up a finger. "You have a very high reputation among the people. From 90-year-olds to 7- or 8-year-old children, almost everyone knows your name as the Thunder Swordsman. And most of the comments are positive. How many people do you think will oppose you becoming the new master of the World Government?"
The revolutionary army’s main purpose is to serve the people, so naturally they have to elect someone who can convince all the people to serve as the “leader”.
It is precisely because of this that in order to win the hearts of the people, Long Ye continued to travel around the world, liberating the common people who were suffering under the aristocratic slavery system.
However, as its image has been repeatedly tarnished by the World Government, most uninformed people still regard the Revolutionary Army as one of the most vicious criminal gangs in the world today.
So... after learning about Vivian's series of deeds from newspapers and magazines, and having witnessed Vivian's character with his own eyes in Rogue Town, Long finally made such a decision.
Nothing can better shut those guys up than leading the army to overthrow the World Government and then handing over the position of ruler to someone else.
What's more, as Shanks said, Vivian's image among the people is particularly positive, like a superhero. If you think about it carefully, if he were really allowed to come to power, perhaps few people would object.
And that doesn't seem to be the point right now.
The point is...does the Revolutionary Army really have the power to overthrow the World Government
"If we can really unite with the Red Hair Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, we might have a good chance of winning..."
After all, Luffy is the protagonist.
He muttered in his heart, and at the same time asked: "I have another question. Monkey D. Long, are you going to let me be the head of the government in public, and then you can control the overall situation behind the scenes?"
"Are you worried that you will become Mr. Long's puppet?"
Shanks immediately understood the meaning of Vivian's question. "Mr. Long said that he believes you will make the most beneficial decision for the people. But on the contrary, if you become as cruel and incompetent as the previous Celestial Dragons after taking that position, then he doesn't mind starting a second war and bringing you down as well."
"Start a second war?"
Monkey D. Dragon is really confident.
only..
Let him take over Yin Mu's position and take charge of the entire world government
Vivian had never thought about this before.
But after finally traveling through time, becoming a "local emperor" in the world of pirates and enjoying royal power does it sound quite attractive
So, Vivian, who had originally planned to reject the other party, suddenly seemed a little hesitant. Seeing that Vivian showed a thoughtful expression, Shanks did not rush to ask for an answer, but drank his black tea again, and muttered casually, "I should have brought two bottles of wine."
It was not until a long while later that Vivian replied, "Give me some time to think about it. But I can promise you now that I will not participate in the war between you and the World Government."
Does Vivian want to reap the benefits
Indeed, it is.
But that’s not entirely true.
If the Revolutionary Army really wins, that would be the best. Even if he cannot become a "local emperor", at least the aristocratic system and slavery system established by the Celestial Dragons will definitely be abolished.
On the other hand, if the revolutionary army was to be defeated, then at most he would only be punished for not participating in the war diligently. He only needed to find a reason to leave the headquarters a few days in advance and go to a farther place. The navy would not be able to expel him directly after the incident, right
I had such a wishful thinking in my mind.
After hearing this answer, Shanks nodded and said, "Okay, if you have made a decision, you can always send someone to find me, or inform Mr. Long. Well, let's end our conversation here. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to have a drink with you, hold a party or something..."
When Shanks was reading magazines before, he already liked Vivian's character. Now after meeting her in person, he unexpectedly liked her even more.
To be honest, Vivian's straightforward personality was really to his liking.
If the other party was not the admiral of the navy, he would really want to invite Vivian to board the ship like Luffy did, and go with him to Raftel to look for OnePiece.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Vivian stood up and bowed to Shanks.
The reason why he bowed was naturally not because Shanks was a Celestial Dragon, but because it represented his recognition of Shanks.
As a Celestial Dragon with such a tragic life experience, Shanks has to say that he has shouldered too much.
However, although both of them carried hatred, the choice Shanks made was completely different from Doflamingo.
For this reason alone, Vivian admires this guy very much.
"By the way, before I leave, I have one more question. I wonder if I can ask it."
"Didn't you just say that this was the last question?"
Vivian: “…”
"Hahaha, just kidding, go ahead and ask." Shanks laughed.
"Why can you enter and leave the holy land freely, and as a celestial dragon, let those two guards take me to the council hall of Pangu City?"
After he finished speaking, Shanks immediately stopped smiling and fell into silence.
It was not until a long while later that he finally answered, "Of course I'm here to negotiate a deal with the Tianlong people."
As he said this, he crushed the teacup in his hand into pieces. "After all... I am someone who knows some of the secrets about the Valley of the Gods."
