Chapter 404 Compromise from the 5 Old Stars

The selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been finalized, and what remains is to issue notifications to all parties, and use the pirate islands cleared out in this grand parade as bases to establish the territorial waters of each of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, forming a pincer attack with the various branches of the Navy.

However, these arrangements are completed by the people below and are no longer the key to the matter.

What really determined the direction of events happened in the Marshal's office of Sengoku, based on the thinking of Tsuru, Zephyr and others, and based on the intelligence reference provided by Gion.

But if you stand at a higher angle, at the pinnacle of power in the sea, and look at the changes and arrangements of the Seven Warlords of the Sea this time, you will find that what is actually destabilizing this sea may be just a small idea of ​​some powerful figure.

Leon Lex opened the era of great rise. He needed to establish a balance in the era he himself opened, so the Seven Warlords of the Sea were successfully filled and became a pole on the ocean.

This is the truth of the matter.

In the Marshal's office of the Warring States Period——

The Five Elders began to settle scores.

A call came in from Marijoa, and the platinum-colored Den Den Mushi beeped.

Bilibili~Bili!!~

Bilibili——!! ~

Zhan Guo was not the only one in the marshal's office, there were also a group of core senior naval officials.

Everyone saw the Den Den Mushi ringing, Zhan Guo frowned slightly, and then said:

"Five old stars."

Everyone understood, but the next moment, no one stood up and left.

Several core members of the navy, including Gion, sat in the office calmly. It was obvious that the navy top brass was determined to confront the Five Elder Stars this time. As for Sengoku's order to take advantage of the occasion of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to hold a military parade, several people were obviously planning to take it together.

Zhan Guo did not let them leave, but calmly took the Den Den Mushi. As expected, the Den Den Mushi simulated the image of a grumpy old man with a scar:

"Zhan Guo! Have you figured out how to explain it to me?!~"

Let’s get straight to the point!

Mercury almost gritted his teeth and questioned Zhan Guo, saying that the navy had gone too far this time.

Without the order from the Holy Land, Sengoku and other high-ranking naval officials actually made the decision on their own and privately summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea would have been fine, and it wasn't a big deal, but the problem was that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were just a cover. Sengoku's real purpose was to take advantage of the situation to hold a grand military parade in the paradise, in response to the old account of pressure from the Holy Land sending the God of Thunder not long ago.

Mercury's anger lies here. For hundreds of years, Marinford has been a dog of the Holy Land, and the navy is nothing more than the hawks and dogs of the Celestial Dragons. Since when did the hawks and dogs have their own ideas?

And so blatantly?!

Isn't this going against the will of heaven?

It's deceiving! ~

Facing Shui Xing's harsh questioning, Zhan Guo was not intimidated at all, and his heart was not even disturbed:

"I think no matter how beautiful the argument is, it will not satisfy you. So I won't explain it any more on the meaningless argument. What I want to say is the necessity of this military parade."

In the power room of Marijoa, the Five Elders heard the voice from Den Den Mushi, looked at each other, and Venus said:

"Necessity? Tell me."

Zhan Guo coughed lightly, and then explained:

"A great era has arrived, and the four seas have been completely renewed. If we blindly follow the old ways, we will be abandoned by the sea. Today's navy is still stuck in the shackles of the old era, adhering to the operating method centered on the Holy Land and suppressing pirates. This was of course no problem in the past, but it is absolutely not possible now."

In the power room, Shui Xing was so angry when he heard Zhan Guo's explanation that he laughed:

"Oh, what you mean is that the navy will no longer be centered in the Holy Land, but will become independent, right?!"

Zhan Guo replied calmly:

"Of course not. What I mean is that the sea has been turned upside down. After Lex returned to the world, the navy can no longer guard the sea as easily as before. Countless civilians have obtained the way to become strong. Devil fruits, arms, and even domineering are no longer the patents of one party. Now, less than a year after the great era began, countless masters and strong people have begun to emerge in the four seas. Branches in various places are often in emergency and can no longer protect justice and order. I think that in less than a year, the situation is so tense. If it continues like this, what kind of chaos will it be in five or even ten years?"

After a pause, Zhan Guo said word by word:

"There will be no government in the world, pirates will rise up everywhere, the navy will exist in name only, the World Government will lose control over the local areas, and even the Sky Gold... will not be able to be turned in normally."

Every word is a gem! ~

What Sengoku said went straight to the point. After hearing this, the power on the other end of the Den Den Mushi suddenly fell silent.

The sturdy Saturn narrowed his eyes slightly, his narrow pupils full of thought, and the other highest powers in the world could not help but fall into deep thought.

What Zhan Guo said was so intimidating, or perhaps it was because Zhan Guo's analysis was so precise that it sounded so intimidating.

Leon Lex also ordered the world to do this thing too radically, it is simply the first family-destroying plan in Qinghai in the past 800 years! ~

He himself is the strongest man in Qinghai. Logically speaking, strong men are arrogant and disdain to communicate with ordinary people. Leon Lex, as the strongest man in Qinghai, should be even more so.

For more than 800 years, countless strong men, regardless of their camps, have their own tacit understanding, that is, it is enough to be strong yourself! You can't let everyone be strong! ~

In that case, strength will no longer be a patent, and those abilities to move mountains and seas will no longer be mysterious, but will be exposed to the world.

Once upon a time, some talented and powerful people on the sea who wanted to cultivate domineering power or swordsmanship had to go through untold hardships to become apprentices and learn the skills, because these things were only in the hands of a small group of people.

In the original plot, more than 20 years later, Luffy, the child of destiny, went out to sea. To practice the initial stage of Haki, he had to follow the mediocre teacher, Pluto Rayleigh, to practice near the Daughter Island. To practice advanced Haki, he had to learn from the good teacher Katakuri, or even the chief master of the sea like Kaido, the Beast.

Moreover, Luffy himself is a fighting genius who inherited Garp's bloodline, but even such a genius cannot escape the difficult path of learning from a master. It is conceivable how difficult it would be for a commoner at the bottom of the society to grow into a top warrior in the original plot line.

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, can be said to be extremely talented, but he also went through untold hardships to achieve his fame in later generations.

The Red Earl, Baroric Redfield, is an absolutely gifted freak, but in order to grow to his current height, he has lost so much.

The Golden Lion, Leon Shiki, the supreme existence in swordsmanship for eight hundred years, had to humble himself under Rocks in order to practice a more powerful swordsmanship. The proud sky lion also had to become someone else's younger brother and start from the grassroots.

After all, emperors with backgrounds like Leon Lex are a minority among the minority. He was born with no lack of resources or teachings. His uncle is the Golden Lion, his master is the Red Earl, his godfather is White Beard, and his parents left him the Space Fruit before they died. With a legacy like Wan Qing Yukong, what else could he lack?

But Lex is just a special case after all.

The majority of people on the sea are still civilians without any background or resources.
