Chapter 330: The Pirate King is dead, I’m going to start taking action!
At this moment, the whole world was in an uproar!
The projection of the video Den Den Mushi flickered, and between the interweaving white lights, Lex's tall figure was clearly visible to the world.
Leon Lex!
King of the New World!
Former World Government Executive Prime Minister!
He is invincible when he goes out to sea. He has been active in Qinghai for more than ten years and is the strongest man in Qinghai who has no rivals in suppressing the Holy Land!
Just after the execution of Pirate King Roger, he replaced Roger and occupied the video Den Den Mushi that was broadcast live to the whole of Qinghai!
Lex smiled lightly, his mellow voice made people feel like a spring breeze, and his gentle smile made people feel good about him.
In addition, Lex has made significant contributions to Qinghai's economic development in recent years, and passed a number of policies at the World Conference to reduce the Sky Gold for member countries, reduce taxes on merchants, promote the economic model of cross-sea trade chains, and support the military strength of non-World Government member countries. He has already won the hearts of the people and is the most respected person in Qinghai.
So, when Lex appeared in front of the camera instead of Roger, the world fell silent instantly, quietly waiting for Lex's next move.
"The past is gone. The Pirate King Roger once led his crew to the end of the world, witnessed the truth of everything, and obtained the unique treasure 'ONE PIECE'. Now the Pirate King is gone, but the torch of the new era he ignited with his life should be passed on by us, carry forward the past and create a free era for all the people in Qinghai."
Lex's expression went from sad to serious.
Lex continued, speaking to the people of Qinghai:
"I wonder if you still remember the agreement I made with you at the Pentles Wanbo many years ago."
Yes, at the Pentles Wanbo Expo in 1490 of the Haiyuan calendar, Rex used up all his fame and power to host a banquet that had not been seen in Qinghai for years, inviting heroes from all over the world to appreciate the bright moon of Qinghai together.
It was also at the closing ceremony of the Pentles World Expo that Rex made a promise with the world:
……
[On this day eight years later, that is, in the year 1498 of the Haiyuan calendar, I will once again host a 'feast' that is no less than this World Expo. By then, I hope you will come and chat with me. ]
……
It is this agreement that brings back people’s memories eight years ago, and the sense of historical intersection comes to mind.
The blond figure in front of the camera eight years ago now appears again in front of the people of Qinghai. He seems to be still young and strong.
Lex was naturally not in a trance. His eyes were bright and he continued to state:
"Today is the moment for me to fulfill that promise with you all. I will once again host a 'feast' that is no less grand than the World Expo that year. This is not only a feast, but also a tribute to the Pirate King Roger, my respected predecessor, and a celebration of the arrival of the Qinghai Freedom Era!"
As Lex's voice gradually became louder, the people's fiery hearts became more and more eager to move. At this moment, anyone could hear it -
Lex is going to do something big, but how big will it be?
……
The World Government is completely heartbroken, and the powers that be are...
Old Mars was extremely angry and indignant, and he screamed:
"Someone come! Someone come!~ Quickly give the order to cut off the world live broadcast for me!~ Don't let Lex, that bastard, deceive people anymore!!~"
The other highest powers in the world were equally anxious, wishing they could find Lex right away, skin him alive, and kill him on the spot, even though they were no match for Lex!
The highest-ranking CP leader, Jing, immediately knelt before the Five Elders:
"CP is working hard to cut off the video Den Den Mushi everywhere, but——"
Jing paused and didn't dare to continue.
Old Mars quickly asked:
"But what?!~ Hurry up and tell me!"
"But... the effect is minimal. The live broadcast of the execution of Pirate King Roger was jointly controlled by the World Economic News Agency and local newspapers, and the person behind these newspapers is... Lex Saint."
Jing knelt on the ground with his head lowered. He knew that the Five Elders were going to use him as a punching bag again. But the next moment, except for Old Mars who cursed loudly, the other highest authorities in the world fell silent.
Old Saturn Saint Satan leaned weakly on the sofa and laughed sarcastically:
"Humph, I should have known this long ago. When Lex proposed the cross-sea trade chain, he was preparing for today. He controlled newspapers and media channels across the ocean to incite the world and cooperate with the damn Roger to start an era of chaos. What a good move! What a good move!"
Jupiter looked depressed. He had long claimed to be the God of Wisdom and War, and the intellectual leader among the Five Elder Stars. However, he was always defeated in front of Lex.
Especially when Lex resigned as executive prime minister last time and came to the Power League to compete with the Five Elders for the autonomy of the South China Sea, he relied on the cross-sea trade chain he controlled and his firm grasp on the economic lifeline of the Celestial Dragons in exchange for the autonomy of the South China Sea, as well as Gion's promotion to general and the authority to govern the South China Sea.
This time, it is this cross-sea trade chain that controls the news channels across the entire ocean.
Mercury opened his eyes weakly and told Jing:
"Immediately order all forces under the World Government to enter the highest state of combat readiness. At the same time, transfer two generals from Marinford to guard Marijoa. At the same time, order each Celestial Dragon family to mobilize their own family's core combat power and temporarily merge them into the Knights of God. Under the command of Saint Galin, they will be responsible for maintaining the stability of the Red Earth Continent."
Jing memorized these orders word for word, and then replied respectfully:
"As ordered!"
Jupiter was silent for a moment, then added:
"I have two more points to add. In the near future, we will issue a house arrest order to all Celestial Dragons. They are not allowed to leave the Holy Land without permission. In addition, we will advance the navy's military budget for the next five years and allocate it to Steel Bone Soong. Let Marinford strengthen all forces to maintain stability in Qinghai."
As soon as these words came out, Venus, the God of Finance, immediately refuted:
"No! If we advance the navy's military expenses for the next five years, the world government's financial strength will be extremely empty."
Jupiter waved his hand gently:
"Saint Izambaron, things have come to this point, and you are still defending Lex?"
Venus angrily retorted:
"I am not defending Lex! If you allocate huge military funds, the world government will inevitably be in a difficult situation!"
Indeed, what Venus said makes sense.
Mercury was silent for a moment, then whispered:
"Forget it, the deficit will be paid from each Celestial Dragon family, starting with our five families!"
“What—?~!”
"What the hell?! It has come to this! Lex's evil ambitions are no longer concealed! He is about to incite the world and overturn the foundation of our world government! You are still worried about those Baileys?!"
"…Okay, agreed."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
“I agree.”
Jing was still kneeling on the ground, but his heart was surging at this moment. He had not expected that Lex's live broadcast across the ocean would make the Five Elders so fearful and make such a big fuss.
And this was even after Lex had barely gotten started with his speech.
What exactly is Lelex going to say next?
What exactly should we launch?
What do you want to do?
As the head of CP, Jing couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.
