Chapter 256 Rebellion against Tiangang

Different from the original plot, at that time, the Whitebeard Pirates came to the Kuri area. Under Oden's insistence, Whitebeard agreed to take Kozuki Oden out to sea, and several of Oden's retainers also followed Oden on board the Moby Dick.

The current world line has undergone too many changes due to Lex's deliberate interference - Kozuki Oden directly boarded the Oro Jackson and followed Roger on the journey to the final island.

It skips the process of getting on Whitebeard's ship first in the original work and goes straight to the destination in one step.

This is also what Rex meant. Since Whitebeard has become his adoptive father and Marco and others have become his brothers, Rex will not allow people like Oden to have anything to do with them.

In Lex's eyes, Kozuki Oden is just a fool who has some use value.

Kaido in the original work also thought so. Although Oden's strength and influence surpassed Kaido at the beginning, after a simple plan by Kaido and Orochi, Oden was played around by Kaido.

It can be seen how stupid Kozuki Oden was. He had a great advantage, but his entire family was wiped out by Kaido and Wano Country was occupied.

To take a step back, even if Kozuki Oden came to his senses in the later period and took the Nine Red Scabbards to fight Kaido, he should not have rushed forward foolishly. He only needed to seek help from Whitebeard or Roger's pirate group. Whether it was Whitebeard, Rayleigh, Jabba, or Oden himself, they could all beat the low-profile version of Kaido at that time.

But Oden just couldn't think of this.

He was even stupid enough to believe Kaido and Orochi's lies and danced a fool's dance naked for five years.

Of course, maybe this is also one of his fascinating charms. This seemingly foolish "loyalty and kindness" is also the reason why he is admired by the world.

Lex never denied that Kozuki Oden was a pure-hearted person, somewhat similar to King Luffy.

However, in Lex's view, his innocent heart is more of a tragedy of idealism that does not know right from wrong.

"Hey, Roger, who are the strong ones in this sea?"

Kozuki Oden, who had just boarded the Oro Jackson not long ago, seemed like a question baby. He kept asking Roger Rayleigh Jabba and others questions, and seemed to be very interested in everything on the sea.

Although he was annoying, Roger and the others patiently explained everything to him one by one because he was the only one who could read ancient characters.

"Hmm~ A strong person, let me think... ah! Me~!~ I am a strong person!~"

Roger put his hands on his hips, grinned and laughed, his s-shaped nose hairs trembled along with his lips.

Kozuki Oden covered his head:

"Well, what about other than you?"

"Well, when you say 'strong', how strong are you talking about?"

Kozuki Oden couldn't wait to say:

"How many people are above my level?"

Roger frowned, "That's too many. There are three on our ship alone, and two who are similar to you, a total of five. As for Newgate's ship, they are all little devils. Of course, Newgate is strong enough alone."

"Newgate?"

Kozuki Oden asked curiously.

"Ah, Edward Newgate, aka Whitebeard, is a fellow who is my equal."

Kozuki Oden was very shocked. He thought Roger was the strongest man in this ocean, but he didn't expect that there was someone as strong as him!

"Ah?~! I'm evenly matched with you? Doesn't that mean I can be killed in one blow?"

"Ahahaha!~ There are too many strong people in this sea. Qinghai is so vast, and there are countless strong people. However, those who are at the same level as me can be counted on one's fingers."

Oden's jaw almost dropped to the deck:

"What? Besides Whitebeard, there are other strong people like you?"

"Eh? You don't know anything? It shouldn't be that the newspapers delivered by the Newseum can't be delivered to Wano Country?"

"Newspaper? I haven't heard of it. Wano Country has almost no connection with the outer sea."

Roger has some questions:

"Then how come when we were stationed in Kuri, we heard that your father, General Kozuki Sukiyaki, went to attend the World Conference in Marijoa?"

"How would I know about the old man's affairs? We have severed ties for several years."

"Well... let's talk about the strong person you are interested in."

Roger continued to tell Kozuki Oden about the strong men he recognized on this sea:

"In short, those who are at the same level as me are definitely not just Newgate, but also people like Shiki, Reid, Garp, and Kong. In addition, although Wang Zhi, Yin Fu, Ling Ling, Rhine, Gut, Zhan Guo, Shanuo, and Roy are a little bit behind, they are also top emperors."

Kozuki Oden pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the names Roger called out. These people had all been recognized by Roger and were undisputed strong men.

Jabba, who was looking at the sea chart nearby, heard Roger's comments and shouted:

"Hey!~ Stupid Captain, am I not a strong man that you recognize?"

Roger held his head and smiled:

"Ahahaha! ~ Yes, there are also Rayleigh and Jabba, who are also powerful men. In addition, there are some people from the government and the Celestial Dragons, but they usually don't take action, so they can be ignored."

Speaking of Celestial Dragons, Roger suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten a person who could be considered the strongest:

"Ah!~ Forgot about that man."

Oden was curious: "Who?"

Roger smiled mysteriously: "That man is the king of this ocean, no! He is the king of this era. Although I am a little reluctant, if he attacks with all his strength now, I can't beat him."

Oden's eyes widened:

"What?!~ There is actually someone who can defeat you?!!"

Roger smiled lightly:

"Of course there have been. There have been in the past, there are now, and there will be in the future. There is no such thing as absolute strength. The so-called invincibility is relative and temporary."

"Leon Lex, ... Oden, remember, don't provoke this man. Although he seems to have a good temper, if you really provoke him, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow, or even the moon tonight."

Rely Jabba and others on the side nodded in agreement.

And Lex, the strongest person of the era as Roger called him, is currently handling the closing ceremony of the World Conference.

"After fourteen days and seven sessions, we have successfully completed this World Conference. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your participation and contribution."

After he finished speaking, Lex bowed slightly in front of everyone.

In an instant, the royal family below was so frightened that they bowed even deeper, and said hurriedly:

"No, no, it's Prime Minister Lex who has made great contributions and has spared no effort."

"That's right, Prime Minister Lex is truly a role model for our generation. We should be thanking Prime Minister Lex for leading us to successfully hold this World Conference."

In response to the compliments from others, Lex smiled lightly and said nothing.

On the contrary, the Five Elders on the other side watched this scene coldly, with chills in their hearts.

This world conference completely went against the original intention of the Five Elders. It was originally a meeting for Im to test Lex's ability, but Lex turned it into a one-man show.

This time, Lex's strength was measured. Through this World Conference, the Five Elders had a deep understanding of Lex's strength.

That is unfathomable.

The New World is fine, but why are there so many kingdoms in Paradise and even the Four Seas who are on Lex's side?

However, the Five Elders were not discouraged.

At Jupiter's suggestion, the Five Elders have decided to change the government's previous "exploitative" ruling model and instead win over those kingdoms and clip Lex's wings.

At this point, even the Five Elders, who are the highest authorities in the world, have to admit that the current situation has turned against Tiangang.

The World Government, which once held the upper hand, is now in a state of decline and unable to cope with Lex.

Only by rising up against Rex's "oppression" can we return to the omnipotent world government of the past and re-establish the authority of Mary Geoise.

The only solution is - change!
