Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 699 Do you want to become one of the Five Elders, young man? (33)

In the world of One Piece, the "power seizure" by the weak against the strong rarely succeeds.

In addition to the different thinking of those in power in different situations, there are also public opinion and too many interests involved.

As a ruler, one must consider not only power, but also the responsibilities that come with power and weigh on one's shoulders.

Are there pirates causing trouble again?
What is the share of Tianshangjin this year?

Everything from the direction of government decision-making to people's food, clothing and daily necessities need to be taken into consideration, and every effort must be made to maintain one's ruling position.

Rather than just declaring "power".

When raising the banner of resistance, such as the current revolutionary army, indeed, as long as there is strength, it will be fine.

But if the government's decision-making power is really given to them, can they do a good job?

Answer……

Ha ha!

Just look at the member states and non-member states that were instigated by them to revolt. They overthrew one group of corrupt rulers, supported another group of righteous rulers, and then...

Just leave them to fend for themselves and move on to the next oppressed country.

With the World Government and the Celestial Dragons weighing heavily on everyone's minds, it is understandable that this should be done. The Revolutionary Army does not have the energy or energy to do so, so it shifts its focus to the subsequent management of the rebel country.

But what happens once this mountain is moved away?
It's just repeating the process.

It may not even take too much time, just a moment, and in the process of getting the news, these freedom-seeking fighters will become the people they once hated the most.

however……

These problems are not seen in Ron at all.

The biggest difference between him and those carefree revolutionary soldiers and pirates who only care about the present is that his ambition allows him to be open-minded and see through everything from an outsider's perspective.

He doesn't care about what happened in the past or the lost 100 years of history. He just wants the world to run according to his own wishes. That is his only motivation and reason.

Shanks suddenly understood this, and also knew why Rayleigh chose to die to help the Revolutionary Army.

Because Canglong is not just an enemy of any one camp, the changes he will bring are unprecedented!
Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and even any aspiring people must unite to fight against this monster that relies on the World Government.

And now is the first step for him to formally express his greed and malice towards the supreme authority. With this extremely tragic reality, he aims to shake the absolute authority of the Five Elder Stars!
And...it is very likely to succeed!
He was fortunate, or unfortunate, to witness this piece of history.

The Five Elders fell silent upon hearing this.

The bearded Five Elders glanced at Ferrick, his fingers trembling slightly.

Yim once ordered the extinguishing of countless "lighthouses" that had illuminated the way for future generations in the name of pursuing freedom for hundreds of years, but no one expected that one day, they themselves, as destroyers, would become thorns in the eyes of others.

Or they are issuing challenges based on their self-proclaimed government status.

But can Ron be blamed for this?

Even the swordsman with the hottest temper and the two old men from the Mediterranean had gloomy faces and remained silent.

They really tried their best.

It’s just that this era is so unfriendly.

If you don't do well, don't blame others for being ambitious and wanting to challenge your position.

On the premise that there is no problem with the starting point, Ron... is just!

Bru bru…bru bru bru…

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi rang.

The five elder stars with long beards were startled and looked behind them.

On the finely carved precious wood of the table, a Den Den Mushi had its eyes open and was making sounds continuously.

Only Im knew the number of this Den Den Mushi. Once upon a time, every time Im summoned them, he would contact them through this Den Den Mushi. That was an extremely glorious moment for them.

But nowadays...

Click!

Just as the bearded Five Elders were silent for a while, the Den Den Mushi was picked up by someone.

Nibelungen Ferrick leaned on his cane and said calmly: "Lord Yim, you heard everything."

"It's so noisy outside, how could I not hear it..."

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, inside the flower room, Im was watering the flowers with a watering can, and next to him was Vic, the butler and messenger, who was holding the Den Den Mushi in both hands and serving respectfully.

It was clearly happening thousands of miles away, but Yim's tone sounded as if it was coming from across the street through a door.

"I'm so sorry! This matter..."

"Transfer Ron's call over." Fred was about to apologize when Im suddenly interrupted him.

This obviously unfriendly move made the Five Elders feel cold in their hearts, and they felt unprecedented pressure in their hearts.

Hearing this, Ferrick smiled bitterly and looked behind him.

The bearded Five Elders hesitated for a moment, walked forward and put the Den Den Mushi down.

"Moshimoshi, can you hear me?"

In the distant sea, on the Red Force.

"This is……!!!"

Bald Zero looked horrified, and suddenly turned around and pushed all the pirates including Shanks away.

Although they couldn't hear clearly what the other people were talking about at this distance, if there was any possibility, Zero would not allow that to happen.

Not to mention, Im took the initiative to contact outsiders who were not the Five Elders through Den Den Mushi. This was an unprecedented major event!

Ron's face immediately straightened and he knelt on one knee.

"I can hear you, Lord Yim!"

Facing the god-like Im, Ron did not dare to be careless.

"You are indeed as ambitious as Orrick, Ron."

Yim said calmly.

An invisible feeling of oppression instantly twisted Ron's heart, causing his heartbeat to speed up.

Then, Im continued.

"But you know better than him, and I don't dislike that."

“Ambition is a good thing. Ambitious people will cherish everything they have and have the motivation to rack their brains to keep everything they have, for fear that they will use it in the wrong place.”

Yim's tone was very calm, without even a hint of anger or dissatisfaction in his voice.

Whether it is to the Five Elders or to Ron.

With his status, there is really no need for him to get red in the face and loudly scold people over things that happen every few decades.

Because everything is just an insignificant ripple in his long life, a tiny speck of dust under the wheel of history.

When you are sitting in a carriage and it stops for a moment because of a stone, would you get angry and stop to smash the stone to vent your anger?

The answer, of course, is no.

Because this kind of thing is not even within his sight.

Ignoring is the most perfect interpretation of rights!
"I am ashamed. I am really unwilling to do this and have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"

Ron did not deny or defend himself, but humbly pleaded guilty.

To Eim, his true thoughts were not important at all, because to Ron, the same was true of other people's thoughts.

In addition, no matter what the reason is, alarming Im is an unforgivable sin for them as subordinates!

"Well, this won't happen again, understand?"

Yim's voice was calm, like a kind elder admonishing a naughty kid.

However, Ron could smell the undeniable determination in Im's tone through these words.

"My subordinate understands!"

"That's good. Let Shanks and the others leave... Remember not to really give him the pure gold. Just give him a box."

Yimu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "By the way, are you interested in becoming the new Five Elders?"

Become...the new Five Elders? ! !

When these words were spoken, not only did Zero almost pop his eyes out, but the existing Five Elder Stars in the Holy Land also closed their eyes with sorrow on their faces, knowing that this was the price they had to pay for Im's dissatisfaction with them.

It was also to appease Ron and give Ron an answer.

Because in Im's eyes at this moment, all the qualities displayed by Ron were undoubtedly more suitable for this chaotic era than theirs.

All the Celestial Dragons are infected with the disease and their future is uncertain.

The rule that "only Celestial Dragons can be promoted to the Five Elder Stars" had been broken unknowingly.

Actually, I really wanted to wait until the theatrical version was released this year before writing this, after all, the characters who appeared were the old crew members on Roger's ship, and they would definitely reveal a lot of information, but... that would take the second half of the year. I'll just write it like this, and wait for the slap in the face.
