Chapter 1829 The Importance of the Calm Belt (1)

This leads to a strange phenomenon: the number of pirates in the paradise seems to never dry up, but instead increases like a snowball.

The pirates who entered the first half of the Grand Line from the four seas seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and poured into the paradise continuously.

This phenomenon is like a siphon effect. The more pirates die in the paradise, the more eager pirates from all over the world are to fill these vacancies and enter the paradise.

In this way, the paradise is like a huge whirlpool, ruthlessly strangling the pirates who enter it.

Despite this, the pirates were not afraid. They went forward one after another as if they were going on a pilgrimage, and threw themselves into this place full of death and danger without hesitation.

Every time a war breaks out in the theme park, the number of pirates around the world surges.

Faced with such a large group of pirates, the navy's power seemed stretched to its limits and it was unable to effectively suppress them.

"Damn it!"

Zhan Guo was furious and slammed his fist on the table, but due to the recent surge in naval spending, which has led to a serious shortage of military funds, the force of this punch was actually very small, not even enough to break the table.

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then picked up another file.

When he saw the document, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"The rebellion in the South China Sea was finally quelled after six months!"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Zhan Guo opened the report of Akainu and Aokiji's battle in the South China Sea and read every word carefully, fearing that he would miss any important details.

However, as he read deeper, Zhan Guo's expression became more and more solemn.

"Has the revolutionary army actually infiltrated to such a serious extent without anyone noticing?"

He looked in shock at the revolutionary ideas pointed out by Akainu and Aokiji in their reports, as well as the extent to which the ignorant people at the bottom had been brainwashed.

Both Akainu and Aokiji speculated in the report that although most of the kingdoms in the South China Sea have now been conquered by the navy and the king has been restored, this does not mean that the problem has been solved.

Once the navy leaves, these ignorant people at the bottom of society who have been influenced by the revolutionary army are likely to rebel again.

As long as these kings, nobles and merchants continue to oppress the people, these suppressed revolutionary armies will be like extinguished flames. They seem to have been extinguished, but as long as there is a slight breeze, the raging fire will be rekindled.

Faced with this report, Zhan Guo felt extremely heavy, as if a heavy burden was pressing on his heart.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to thirty years ago. At that time, there was a young and energetic figure beside him, who worked with him to punish evil and uphold justice on the vast ocean.

The young man's name is Monkey D. Dragon. He is so outstanding that he not only possesses powerful strength, but also has noble character and firm beliefs.

At that time, Dorag was unanimously recognized by all senior naval officials as the leader of the third generation of the navy and the rising star of the navy's future.

Some even assert that if he were still serving in the navy, there would not have been the conflict between Aokiji and Akainu fighting for the position of admiral.

Because as long as he is willing, the entire navy will push him to the supreme throne without hesitation.

However, such a person who was highly expected by the entire navy unexpectedly betrayed the navy.

In order to realize his ideals, he resolutely founded the Revolutionary Army and stood against the World Government.

Time flies, and now more than 20 years have passed. The Revolutionary Army has grown stronger under the leadership of Dragon, and its power has become a major concern for the World Government.

Even the once-mighty Rockefeller Kingdom had to curb its arrogance a little in the face of the revolutionary army.

The strength of the revolutionary army is not only reflected in its military power, but also in the ideas it spreads.

They firmly believe that as long as there is oppression, there will inevitably be resistance.

This idea spread rapidly among the people like a prairie fire, making more and more people aware of their rights and dignity, and thus rising up to resist injustice and oppression.

However, as a ruler, who would want to see rebellion in the territory under his rule?

This is simply a provocation and threat to its authority.

The resistance of the revolutionary army has undoubtedly seriously threatened the ruling foundation of the world government.

The Rockefeller Kingdom is naturally no exception, and they cannot tolerate such a situation.

After all, a stable ruling order is vital to any country.

The revolutionary wave set off by the revolutionary army in the world not only brought huge political pressure to the world government, but also seriously affected their economic interests - taxation.

Especially this year, this impact has become more and more obvious.

As far as Sengoku knows, in order to raise enough military funds and make up for the loss of tax revenue due to the activities of the Revolutionary Army, the top leaders of the World Government - the Five Elders - have actually begun to cut the treatment of the Celestial Dragons!

When Zhan Guo heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.

The Celestial Dragons are the most noble and powerful group in the world government!

They have always been high and mighty, enjoying endless wealth and glory. How could they possibly live a hard life?

Zhan Guo's impression of the Celestial Dragons has always been bad since he can remember.

His attitude towards the Celestial Dragons has always been to remain indifferent.

In his memory, the Celestial Dragons always acted with arrogance and dominance, as if they were the masters of this world and everyone else was just their subjects.

More than half of the "Heavenly Gold" collected by the World Government from all over the world every year is used to satisfy the luxurious life of the Celestial Dragons.

This is also to establish the so-called "sacred and inviolable" status of the Celestial Dragons.

This was the first time that Sengoku witnessed the World Government taking the initiative to cut the treatment of the Celestial Dragons!

This is really unbelievable. After all, it has been eight hundred years since the establishment of the World Government, and this is probably the first time such a situation has occurred.

This move undoubtedly reveals an important message: today's world government is gradually declining.

Zhan Guo's worries grew heavier, and he couldn't help but examine the current world situation from the perspective of the Five Elders.

However, faced with this situation, Zhan Guo felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The whole world seems to be falling apart and evolving in a bad direction.

The ruling status of the world government has also become precarious, as if it may collapse at any time.

Zhan Guo couldn't help but worry, fearing that he would wake up one morning and find that the world had changed beyond recognition and become completely unfamiliar to him.

After all, he is nearly 80 years old, and the vicissitudes of life have gradually made his thinking rigid.
