Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 916 Cancel the Heavenly Gold? !

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

Boom boom boom!
Knocking on the door with his fingers, Akainu hesitated and shouted, "Report!"

"..."

There was silence inside the room for a while, and then Ron's calm voice rang out: "Come in."

After all, the status is different!
Akainu sighed, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Akainu was startled.

"Why are you all... here?!"

According to common sense, as the only person in charge, Ron's office should be very quiet and "deserted".

However, there are quite a few people inside at this moment, and there are a lot of them.

Everyone stood in front of Ron on the left and right. On the left, from the back, there was Trafalgar Law, one of the "dead in name only" Shichibukai; Coby, who for some reason was wearing a plaster cast and using crutches, and whose entire body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy; then there was the famous "Sea Knight" Jinbei and "King of Kindness" Fujitora; and of course, the last one, the one in the front, was Ron's trusted general, the "Navy Ghost Sword" Quin Donte, who was known to the world...

and many more!

Donte?

Akainu couldn't help but stare: "When did you come back?"

Isn't he on a mission in the New World?

How come he is faster than me and others?
"Long time no see, Marshal."

Dong Te turned around and nodded, explaining, "The Pluto and Qilin are indeed very fast, but not as fast as the lightly equipped war airship."

Originally, the speeds of the two were similar, but Pluto and Qilin were ships with heavy loads, so they lagged behind.

It shouldn't be so fast!

Akainu was about to glare when he suddenly thought of a possibility.

unless……

Ron had already transferred Dongte back without telling anyone!

This way he can get ahead of himself.

As the sharpest knife in his hand and the captain of the assassination team, Ron only trusts Donte for many things, and everyone knows this.

After hesitating for a moment, Akainu said nothing.

This side is undoubtedly Ron's trusted base. Although the presence of Jinbei makes it seem less pure, these people all follow Ron's lead and have different identities.

The other side is where he should be.

Akainu strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the bald Zero.

The latter glanced at him and said nothing.

Anyway, you are not at the front, so why rush?
In front of the two of them, the heavy back of the commander-in-chief of the entire army, "Steel Bone" Kong, blocked the sunlight. No matter how powerful CP0 and the navy are, they cannot change the position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Behind the two of them were Rob Lucci, Masked Zero, and Kalifa who came in for appearance.

No, there's another one!
Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly. At the end of the team, there was a guy covered in a black robe. Judging from his body shape, he was a man, but his aura was restrained and not a single bit leaked out. He looked as inconspicuous as a dead object.

But Akainu will never forget that height and build.

"Dorag!"

dong dong!

"Everyone!"

At this moment, Ron knocked on the table to break the tense atmosphere. Akainu turned around and did not look back, but still had no expression on his face.

When Dragon appeared here, Akainu couldn't tell what he felt.

"Let's continue with the previous topic... The Holy Land is facing two huge challenges now. The first one is pirates!"

"This question is a commonplace, Marshal Akainu, do you have any opinion?"

After all, he is one of them. In order to let Akainu catch up with the discussion rhythm as soon as possible, Ron directly threw the pirate issue to Akainu.

As a navy officer, he has the most say on this.

Besides...

Hearing this, Akainu took a step forward and said, "I think... we should start from two aspects."

"Oh? Which two aspects?" Ron asked with a smile.

In response, Akainu raised his lips and replied: "Increase the cost of going to sea and reduce the motivation to go to sea!"

This was a topic the two had discussed a long time ago, and now that Ron had successfully taken over, Akainu would naturally go with the flow.

"I understand that increasing the cost of going to sea is nothing more than increasing the punishment, just like pushing the city forward."

Bald Zero stepped forward and asked, "But how can we reduce the motivation to go out to sea?"

There are many people like Luffy who go to sea simply for their dreams. They are not the kind of people who will not go to sea unless you tell them to. Even some nobles have thought about going to sea.

In the great pirate era a few years ago, it was even a trend for nobles to go out to sea as pirates.

The World Government is not really stupid, so it naturally does not think that all pirates are vicious thugs.

"It's easy!"

Akainu grinned and looked at him: "Kill the Four Emperors and cancel Tenjojin!"

boom!
As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.

Pirates always have a purpose when they go out to sea. Even someone like Monkey D. Luffy would do so simply to feel smug about increasing his bounty.

Fame is the eternal pursuit of pirates, and was even included by Roger in the declaration that opened the Great Pirate Era.

The Four Emperors are the backbone of pirates and the most famous pirate group after Roger!

As long as they disappear, this kind of demonstration of shooting the first bird to stick its head out will eliminate the motivation of most pirates to go out to sea.

The reason why the Great Pirate Era came to an end and was taken over by the Navy was half due to Ron's rise, and the other half was due to the fall of Whitebeard and Big Mom.

Then the second point, gold in the sky!
This system is for the service of the Celestial Dragons and is equivalent to the annual "membership fees" paid by member states.

But in Ron's eyes, this system had the defensive meaning of Qin Shihuang gathering all the soldiers in the world to forge twelve golden men, and the Celestial Dragons were just an excuse.

After all, the amount required is too huge!

It is so large that more than 60% of the member states have to use their national strength to provide for it every year, and the poor simply cannot survive.

However, the total expenditure of the World Government, plus the consumption of the Celestial Dragons when they still existed, only accounted for 60% of the annual gold in the sky... less than that.

Rounding up is only half.

The remaining money was kept in the Holy Land.

As an earthling, Ron clearly knows the benefits of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure for economic development. However, if one saves all the wealth in the form of real money and thinks that this will enrich the country, history has proven that ordinary people will only become poorer and poorer.

Until you can't survive anymore, and then you rise up in rebellion!

Ron is not a genius, he just stands on the shoulders of giants, and uses the wisdom of his ancestors passed down for five thousand years to sum up experience and follow the best.

Therefore, if we want to reduce the motivation of pirates to go out to sea, especially to target the poor people who can't survive, the Tenshangjin system must be changed!

Let the funds flow and completely eradicate the general trend of ordinary people being forced to go overseas.

"This……"

Bald Zero was choked for a moment and wanted to scold, but when he thought about the relationship between Ron and Akainu, he thought that this sentence might be Ron's idea, so he moved his mouth but did not refute.

I can only leave one sentence.

"This is against the rules!"

"Huh! Rules? Rules are made by people! I see some people are used to betraying their own people, and they think this will undermine their own interests, right?"

Akainu said bluntly: "Do you believe that I will send the Independent Commission Against Corruption to the Holy Land to pick off all their fig leaves?"

Anyway, there are not many people alive in the Holy Land now, so it’s a good excuse to take over the wealth.

Bald Zero was very angry, but he couldn't refute.

As CP0, he knew best how powerful those ruthless officials in the Holy Land were.

However, after the anger subsided, a strange atmosphere lingered in everyone's heart.

seemingly……

It's not impossible, right?!

Damn it, I wanted to finish all these twists and turns in one chapter, but I found that I couldn’t stop... Wait for me to speed up the ending.
