Chapter 282 The Name of 【D】

"What an embarrassing posture!"

Whitebeard stepped through the portal and entered the sacred land of the World Government - Marinevando as a pirate.

When he first entered Malinfando, what he saw was the Five Old Stars and several familiar people kneeling on the ground.

"If I remember correctly, you should be called the Knights of God."

The man with long hair and beard forming a crescent moon shape is a familiar face.

In the Battle of the Valley of the Gods decades ago, Whitebeard once collided with the opponent as a member of the Rocks Pirates.

Even after many years, Whitebeard can still recall the other person's aloof face.

That is different from the other Tianlong people, another kind of arrogance engraved in the bones.

However, at this moment, the other party and Wulaoxing were kneeling on the ground in embarrassment.

"Pirates dare to set foot in this place!"

Bang!

Rhodes flicked his finger, and the air was condensed into bullets and shot out, hitting the head of Ancient Saint Fegalando Green. Even if he defended himself with armed domineering energy in time, his head still buzzed.

"I'm keeping you alive just to let you witness the moment when the world government is destroyed."

After punishing the opponent, Rhodes glanced at the people who entered Mary Joa through the portal one after another.

"It's just a group of guys whose lives have entered a countdown. Don't add drama to yourself."

"What about you, are you ready to hand over the power of this world to me, Im!"

Rhodes looked at Im, who looked ashen.

The King's power is indeed amazing, but he is still unable to kill Rhodes.

Not only that, it may be because it was severely damaged in the war that year, or it may be because it has not been well maintained in eight hundred years.

All in all, King of Heaven can no longer be used frequently.

Every time the Heavenly King is used, the lives of several Heavenly Dragons need to be sacrificed.

Not only that, after each use it has to cool down for several hours before it can be used again.

A few hours were enough for the current Rhodes to flatten Im and the World Government he led several times.

"Ba Fist Rhodes, you must be very proud now, right?"

Im looked at Rhodes with a look of humiliation on her face like Princess Wei Wei, with endless resentment in her voice.

"You don't know the truth about this world or the dangers it faces. A pirate like you who knows nothing will only destroy the world!"

"This is···?"

Dorag, who had appeared in Mary Joa at some unknown time, looked at Im, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"As you can see, this is the real controller of the world government and the dictator of this world, Im!"

"Im?"

Hearing this name, Dorag's expression changed slightly.

As far as he knew, among the twenty countries that initially created the world government, the king of one country was named Im.

Could it be said that the other party is the one from the beginning? And then survived to the present through some unknown means.

The fruits of surgery?

"dictator?"

"The true controller of the world government?"

Compared to Dorag, Warring States and Lieutenant General He were more concerned about what Rhodes said about Im's identity.

What a terrible thing it is to entrust the entire world to the hands of one person, and let a flesh-and-blood person decide the future of the world based on his own preferences.

"Let's not talk nonsense. You are not very interested in the truth in your mouth. After all, it is just all the past events."

Rhodes waved his hand, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"Now, it's up to you to give me the power to control this world, and then I pretend to refuse, and then you give it again, and I refuse again, and again, and again, and finally, with everyone's persuasion, I take it from you. The highest power in this world.”

"Are you humiliating me?"

"How can it be a humiliation? This is called three concessions and three concessions. It is in line with ancient etiquette."

Rhodes said words that Im didn't understand.

"You'd better kill me. I'll be in another world and watch you lead this world to destruction!"

Im had a sneer on his face.

"Wait a minute, I want to know what danger you are talking about the world is facing!"

Red-haired Shanks suddenly spoke.

"Yes, I'm curious too!"

Dorag nodded.

Although the four marines on the other side did not speak, except for the yawning Garp, whether it was Sengoku, Lieutenant General Tsuru, or Kizaru, all had a bit of inquiry in their eyes.

"This kind of thing——"

Rhodes was about to refuse.

He is not interested in the past of this world, he is only concerned about the present he has and the future he is about to create.

However, when his eyes accidentally glanced at Robin and the others, Rhodes paused slightly and immediately changed his words.

"I'd like to hear what you can say."

Im took a deep breath and glanced at the red hair, Dorag, and several representatives of the navy.

If there is their support, there may be a slight chance of winning.

Immediately, the blank hundred years that had been covered up by the World Government appeared in front of everyone through Im's mouth.

···

Eight hundred years ago, there was a huge kingdom in this world with highly developed economy, culture, military and technology.

This kingdom is a place that all human beings and countries in the world yearn for. Everything that happens there attracts the attention of the world. The technology there leads the development of the world, and the culture there sweeps the world.

Under the selfless sharing of the giant kingdom, the world's science and technology have ushered in rapid development, and the living standards of human beings are improving day by day.

At the same time, thanks to the technology of the giant kingdom, some countries in various seas around the world have developed rapidly and formed great powers.

And just when the whole world is thriving, the accident happened.

Scientists in the giant kingdom, in a scientific research, accidentally created a technology that even they themselves could not understand.

That is a technology that can absorb human thoughts and turn various unconscious ideas released by humans into reality!

Not long after this technology appeared, some fruits that can allow users to gain extraordinary power suddenly appeared in various corners of the world.

It is a secret treasure from the sea that can turn humans into lightning, flames, magma, light and other natural forces.

It can also turn humans into beasts, dinosaurs, and even things that exist in myths and legends.

Or it allows humans to use all kinds of incredible superpowers.

As more and more people with various abilities appeared, the sea began to become chaotic!

And in this chaos, a dispute about this secret treasure of the sea began to occur at some point.

Some people think it is a gift from God and call it "the fruit of God", while others think it is a bait from the devil and call it "the devil fruit".

The dispute between the two sides gradually escalated and gradually evolved into a dispute between "human beings must continue to pursue progress and cannot stop because of fear of risks" and "human beings would rather stop than step into unknown areas at will".

On this issue that will determine the future direction of human society, both sides have their own opinions and no one can convince the other.

As the debate escalated, conflicts began to break out between the two sides, and the conflict finally evolved into a huge war that swept the world!

In this war, the Giant Kingdom insisted on the view that "human beings must continue to pursue progress and cannot stop because of fear of risks". In addition to them, there are many people who support the Giant Kingdom.

Some of them unconditionally support each other because they have received the grace of the Giant Kingdom.

Some were attracted by the culture of the Giant Kingdom and felt that what the Giant Kingdom said must be right.

Others felt that the Giant Kingdom would definitely win the war and that supporting the other side would gain enough benefits.

In short, the view represented by the Giant Kingdom that "human beings must continue to pursue progress and cannot stop because of fear of risks" has been supported by most countries in the world, and they are also called "progressive factions" by the other side.

There are also many conservative countries that insist that "human beings would rather stop than step into unknown areas at will". Although they have also received the favor of the Giant Kingdom, they have insisted on their own views and have never yielded because of cultural factors or political systems.

Although the power of these countries is not as strong as that of the Giant Kingdom, it is not too weak.

This war lasted for decades!

Until, the three weapons that could change the world appeared!

Perhaps it was the development of technology, or perhaps it was because of the thoughts of people all over the world, [Uranus], [Neptune], and [Pluto], these three weapons were born in the process of the war!

That is the power that can change the world. As long as there is enough time, any one of these weapons can completely destroy the world.

Among them, [Uranus] is controlled by conservatives, [Pluto] is in the hands of progressives, and Aquaman is in the hands of the neutral fishmen.

With the emergence of the three major weapons, the intensity of the war continued to escalate, countless islands were destroyed in the war, countless people were displaced, and the whole world fell into great chaos.

At that time, [Pluto] was in the hands of Queen Lily of Alabasta, who had always been a solid ally of the giant kingdom.

However, the appearance of [Pluto] made her feel confused and helpless.

There is no doubt that [Pluto] is a product of technology, and it is a product of technology far beyond the current technology.

However, highly developed technology has not made the world better, but has created such a terrifying weapon, a weapon that can turn the whole world into hell.

Is the advancement of technology really necessary?

Do humans really need to continue to progress?

Perhaps, maintaining the current situation is the best result.

This thought flashed through Queen Lily's mind.

After [Pluto] destroyed one island after another, Queen Lily's thought became more firm.

The progressive faction is wrong!

This world shouldn't be like this!

Humans shouldn't be so arrogant and unprepared to step into the unknown. These technologies beyond understanding will only bring destruction to this world!

In the end, Queen Lily betrayed the Giant Kingdom, betrayed the progressive faction, and joined the conservative faction.

The mermaids who had reached an agreement with the Giant Kingdom and were ready to join the other party, ultimately failed to exert their own strength.

The conservatives, who possessed both [Uranus] and [Pluto] weapons, eventually wiped out the Giant Kingdom and their allies.

After that, the core 20 kings of the conservatives established the current world government together, ruling the world and allowing the world to survive to this day.

Because for them, the huge kingdom was once a beacon that led them in the direction of progress and a leader in bringing them civilization and technology, so they sealed this period of history and did not want it to be known.

On the other hand, they did not want people today to study the original technology again, and did not want technology beyond human understanding to appear again, dragging the world into the abyss of destruction again.

And the former progressive faction, those who survived, those who inherited the will to keep moving forward, were called the [D] clan.

The so-called [D] is Drive, which means to move forward!

···

After revealing the story about the blank hundred years in one breath, Im's face recovered a little, and he looked at Rhodes seriously with a sincere tone.

"The technology that the giant kingdom accidentally created still exists in this world.

I still insist that it is the bait of the devil and the source of all evil that can drag the whole world into an endless abyss!

For this world and for the future of mankind, the world government has been creating various rules for this world and trying to keep everything running within the rules.

If there is no rule of the world government, the thoughts and wills of mankind will bring greater disasters to this world, and perhaps the whole world will be destroyed!"

"The power of thought..."

Drag whispered.

No one knows the power of thought better than him!

The revolutionary army he founded relied on the power of thought to allow countless oppressed people to stand up bravely, resist the rule of the authorities, and fight for their own future.

However, if it is really as Im said, as more and more people have the will to resist, the will and ideas they accidentally release may have a huge impact on the world under the power of that unknown technology.

Is it wrong for him to do this?

Compared to some people, it seems that the survival of this world is more important.

"Have you finished?"

Rod's calm voice sounded, without any fluctuation in tone.

Im looked at him in astonishment.

"Now that you're done, follow the process as I said."

Facing Im's astonished eyes, Rod's expression was calm.

"Will the world face a greater disaster? So what? No matter what happens, just solve it!"
