Chapter 792: Ignis's Plan: The Shadow That Overshadows the World

The growth of pirate power and the confrontation between the Flying Pirates and the World Government only weakened the power of the World Government.

As long as there are member states and a large amount of heavenly gold as blood supply, as long as the world government is given time, it will recover sooner or later.

Among the pirates, will there always be great pirates like "Golden Lion" Shiki who are committed to being enemies of the World Government?

No, except for "Golden Lion" Shiki, other pirates are hostile to the Navy and the World Government.

However, they have neither the idea nor the courage to confront the world government head-on.

Because the world government is a behemoth.

They have no advantage on their own unless all the monsters in the new world unite.

"Golden Lion" Shiki still has a gap with Rocks D. Gibek.

This is certainly true in Hades' opinion.

Because the Rocks Pirates not only weakened the strength of the World Government and the Navy, but also shook the foundation of the World Government's rule.

Destroyed a large number of member states.

As the member states are destroyed, the amount of Heavenly Gold that the World Government receives each year will naturally decrease.

Even some member states suffered heavy losses from pirate invasions and were unable to provide gold from heaven.

For a period of time, some member states reduced the amount of heavenly gold they contributed, or even did not contribute any heavenly gold at all.

The World Government does not dare to deprive them of the title of member state of the World Government.

In the past, if a country failed to pay the gold, its title as a member state would be revoked, and it would be invaded by pirates without protection, and even cause internal riots.

The entire kingdom was destroyed as a result.

Many kingdoms fell in this way.

In order to pay the gold from heaven, the nobles and royal family of the kingdom shifted the burden to ordinary civilians and increased taxes.

The less they paid the heavenly gold, the more chaotic the kingdom became, and it was on the brink of collapse.

The foreign invasion was just the fuse that triggered the collapse of the kingdom. At that time, the kingdom was already a powder keg that could explode at any time.

But now, the world government does not dare to do so.

Member states are very important, and losing one is equivalent to losing an important amount of funds every year.

Moreover, as the voice of member states increases, the world government will not dare to use this as a threat.

The Rocks Pirates destroyed a large number of member countries and completely shook the foundation of the World Government.

This is something the Flying Pirates cannot compare to.

Even the Bondi Pirates led by Bondi World made greater contributions in this regard than the Hiku Pirates.

In terms of negative impact on the World Government, the Flying Pirates are ultimately no match for the Rocks Pirates.

Of course, the Rocks Pirates are a thing of the past, but the Flying Pirates still exist.

No one knows what will happen in the future.

It is already a glorious enough achievement that the Flying Pirates were able to force out the World Government's hidden combat power and unite with many major pirates in the New World to inflict heavy losses on the World Government.

But it can't hurt the foundation of the world government.

Because in terms of top combat power, the World Government is always the number one force in the ocean.

Judging from the combat power displayed in the last bloody battle, they have an overwhelming advantage over any force.

It is impossible for the great pirates of the New World to unite every time to fight against the World Government.

Most people don’t have such strong ambitions and are willing to go against the World Government and become pawns for Shiki the “Golden Lion” to realize his dream.

Besides, there is a risk to life.

Captain John is a profound lesson. Many pirates died in the bloody battle.

In this situation, the world government still has a great advantage.

For pirates, we can completely adopt the approach of dividing them, letting them kill each other and gradually weakening them.

Of course, due to internal divisions, the World Government can only send out a limited number of combat forces.

The God's Guard will only be deployed when there is a threat to Marijoa or a large-scale war.

And when the Celestial Dragons truly feel the crisis, the hidden power of the world's nobles will join the war.

If the scale of the war is properly controlled, it is entirely possible to slowly weaken the World Government without forcing out its full combat power.

However, this scale is difficult to control.

That bloody battle, although not as large-scale as the invasion of the four seas by the Rocks Pirates.

In terms of the overall combat power, it was the most intense and largest-scale epic battle in the past 800 years.

It was even no less than the war between the twenty kings who established the world government and the huge kingdom.

This laid the foundation for the next eight hundred years of history.

The mission of the Flying Pirates is to weaken the Navy and the World Government, and they have been doing quite well so far.

The World Government sacrificed a lot of precious and mid-to-high-end combat power.

Although the navy's top combat power is well preserved, it has become even more powerful as the young monsters grow.

However, in terms of mid-to-high-end combat power, the losses were devastating.

Most of the graduates of the elite training camp since its establishment have died in bloody battles.

Even if a world conscription is carried out and there is a significant increase in combat power, it will still take several years to develop and re-train talents.

As for the invasion of Impel Down, one of the World Government's top fighters was also killed, and a large number of powerful pirates were released, especially the monster "World Destroyer" Bondi World.

That operation can be said to be perfect.

This is how the world government is weakened bit by bit.

In a large-scale war, it is difficult for either side to gain an advantage.

Now, it is not easy for the Flying Pirates to unify the power of the entire New World.

Before, the three defeated pirates, John Pirates, Silver Axe Pirates and Gofeng Pirates, would accept the call of "Golden Lion" Shiki.

Together with the Hiku Pirates themselves, this is equivalent to nearly half of the power of the entire New World.

With this confidence, it will be much easier to invite other big pirates to join.

Captain John died in battle and the John Pirates were destroyed.

With only three pirate groups left, their appeal will naturally decline.

But this has nothing to do with Ignis. "Golden Lion" Shiki and the others will find a way to solve this problem themselves.

And what Ignis did was to complete what the Flying Pirates failed to do.

Corrupt the member states of the World Government and the ocean, making the ocean even more chaotic before the World Government can react.

Let the member states collapse.

This kind of thing is easier than you think.

It's not just because of the power and network of each agent.

They all knew that if they wanted to make these contraband items that could make people feel "euphoric" and relieve stress popular within the member states and on the sea, they only needed to collude with the nobles with benefits.

Those nobles don’t care what happens to the lower-class residents, or even what happens to the kingdom?

If problems really arise, they can just take the treasure and go to other kingdoms.

With the cooperation of local nobles, it is equivalent to giving the green light all the way.

Even the royal family gets in on the action.

Even though these special drugs were later designated as contraband and banned by the world government, they still could not be curbed with the cooperation of local forces.

Furthermore, the World Government cannot interfere in the internal affairs of member states.

Even some member states may recognize the legality of these special drugs and do not think they will cause any harm to the kingdom.

In the final analysis, they don't care about the lives of civilians.

Are the member states themselves capable of restricting the circulation of banned items?

Isn't there enough contraband in the underground world? As long as there is a market, there is no limit.

Moreover, there are huge benefits involved.

At present, the only restriction is the production scale of contraband.

For many agents, these special drugs represent money. The more they have, the more they earn. This is especially true among pirates and the underworld.

Today, Dark Fighting Island has the largest contraband market.

And all over the world, a large number of agents are applying to Lugal for more contraband.

On the surface, the person who contacted them was the "Underground Fighting King" Rugal, but in fact, it was someone from the Nest.

These contraband will be traded with them through various means such as sea transportation and dark banks.

The raw materials for production are in the hands of Yinchao, and other forces cannot even imitate them.
