Chapter 1821 The Importance of the Calm Belt (3)
Because of this, every year so-called "supernovas" from all over the world flock to the Grand Line. With their own purposes and ambitions, they fight with the pirates who have long been wreaking havoc in this sea area.
For eight hundred years, the World Government has been using this method to control the number and strength of pirates.
They use the power of the navy to eliminate pirates who are considered a threat to the World Government one by one, ensuring that the scale of piracy does not get out of control and that no overly powerful individuals appear.
Even with such strict control, there are bound to be omissions.
In this vast ocean, a monster-like existence finally appeared - Rocks.
Rocks' rise was as dazzling as a comet across the sky. He suddenly appeared in the vision of the World Government and the Navy with an invincible posture.
Not only did he possess extraordinary strength himself, he also gathered the most outstanding young men on the sea of that era as his subordinates.
These young people grew up quickly under Rocks' protection and became powerful pirates.
Rocks cleverly uses these young strong men to achieve his ambitions and goals.
Although Rocks has been dead for nearly forty years, his influence remains profound.
His story became a legend on the sea, inspiring countless others to embark on the path of becoming pirates.
Although Rocks has passed away, his influence continues to ripple across the ocean of our time.
Today, in this vast ocean, all the emerging strong men and overlords who dominate one side have direct or indirect connections with Rocks.
Especially Charlotte, the young swordsman who was once casually accepted by Rocks, now his achievements have surpassed Rocks himself!
This was probably something Rocks had never anticipated. It's no exaggeration to say that Rocks ushered in this era.
He was like a founder, laying a solid foundation for this era.
"Miscalculation!"
Peter Saint suddenly shouted.
"We must quickly explore the Doldrums. We must not let anyone else discover its secrets before us! At the very least, we must catch up with the Rockefeller Kingdom!"
There was a hint of anxiety and urgency in his voice.
"I second the motion!"
Saint Vochuli then spoke, expressing his agreement with Saint Pitt's proposal.
"Seconded!"
Saint Satan echoed without hesitation.
"Seconded!"
Mazisheng also expressed support.
"Seconded!"
Nasu Shoulang Sheng finally said, his words firm and powerful.
At this moment, the Five Elders showed unprecedented unity.
They quickly reached a consensus and took immediate action.
Soon, a document about the exploration of the Calm Belt was distributed to various departments of the World Government, especially the Navy, which was given the important task of exploring the Calm Belt and became the main force of this operation.
In the Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters, Marinford, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Exploring the Calm Belt 1.0?"
Zhan Guo looked at the latest document in his hand and couldn't help but frown.
He really couldn't figure out what the Five Elders were planning.
Now is a turbulent time, how can we have the extra energy to explore the mysterious doldrums?
You know, the doldrums are not a good place. It is the base camp of sea kings.
Those huge sea kings, which are often tens of thousands of meters long, are everywhere.
Any sea king is as big as an island.
What's more, some sea kings can even swallow entire islands in one gulp!
Faced with such a terrifying existence, even a naval admiral might not be able to escape unscathed.
After all, the strength of those sea kings above ten thousand meters is extraordinary.
Moreover, not everyone is as lucky as Rayleigh to cross the doldrums without being attacked.
What's more, Rayleigh was alone after all, without a ship and with a small size, so it was naturally difficult for him to attract those sea kings that were thousands or tens of thousands of meters above sea level.
But if you want to conduct large-scale exploration, you will inevitably need a large number of ships, or even a large fleet.
In this way, the target will become extremely obvious, which is tantamount to walking into the tiger's mouth.
The ship is so large that it looks like a moving castle, making it particularly eye-catching on the sea.
This also makes them a conspicuous target in the eyes of the sea kings in the doldrums.
These sea kings are huge and powerful, so it is easy for them to detect such ships.
Once a ship is targeted by a sea king, it will be in extreme danger.
Their attacks are often devastating. No matter whether it is a wooden sailboat or a sturdy steel warship, it is as fragile as paper in front of the huge body of the sea king.
Even if there is a powerful admiral on board, it is difficult to withstand the fierce attacks of the sea kings.
What's worse is that those large sea kings are already quite intelligent.
When they encounter humans who they cannot defeat, they will not continue to fight blindly, but will choose to dive back to the bottom of the sea, leaving humans helpless.
By then, even a peerless powerhouse like Garp would not be able to easily dive into the deep sea to chase these sea kings.
Zhan Guo was well aware of the interests involved, and he really didn't want to provoke those troublesome sea kings.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Zhan Guo couldn't help but sigh: "What a troubled time!"
He shook his head and thought hard in his mind about how to respond to the orders of the Five Elders.
At this moment, a piece of paper suddenly fell out of the documents in Zhan Guo's hand. As if by fate, the paper landed squarely on his desk. "Huh? Why is there another one?"
Zhan Guo was a little surprised. He picked up the fallen paper and prepared to check the contents on it.
Just by taking a look, Zhan Guo's expression turned serious.
He stared closely at the piece of paper that the Five Elders had specially inserted into the plan, as if the words on it contained endless mysteries and secrets.
The paper detailed the reasons why the Five Elders issued the order and their speculations.
When Zhan Guo saw that the Five Elders speculated that the Rockefeller Kingdom had begun exploring the Calm Belt, his heart suddenly tightened and an ominous premonition came over him.
"Exploring the Calm Belt? How is that possible?"
Zhan Guo muttered to himself, he really couldn't believe that the Rockefeller Kingdom would make such a bold move.
After all, the Doldrums has always been an area full of dangers and unknowns, and few people dare to set foot in it easily.
Zhan Guo's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
