The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

They deserve to die!

"why?"

Gion couldn't understand it. She really didn't think the scholars had done anything wrong. What was wrong with studying history?

"What do you think Roger's last words brought to this already terrible world?" Sakazuki countered.

He glanced at Luther out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that the other party did not stop him, he roughly understood what Luther meant.

This was his true feeling, and he didn't mind playing the villain once.

In fact, it was something he wanted to see that Gion agreed with his sense of justice.

Roger's dying words...

Gion recalled the live broadcast she had seen two years ago, where a man stood before the execution platform and shouted:

"Want my treasure? You can have it if you want! Go find it! I've left all the world's wealth there!"

This statement directly launched the Great Pirate Era, with countless pirates flooding the seas and causing widespread devastation.

The sea, which should have been at peace after Roger's death, became turbulent again because of this one sentence.

"But there's a difference between the two..."

Halfway through her sentence, Gion revealed a bitter smile.

Even she herself felt that she was deceiving herself.

The blank history covered up by the world government is clearly not a glorious one.

It's hard to imagine what terrible things will happen to the world after this is exposed.

By then, who knows how many ambitious people will emerge.

If it could truly bring about change to the world, that would be fine, but how many of these are merely for their own selfish desires, and how many could actually shake the rule of the world government...?

In the past few days, Luther has made no attempt to hide his conversations from Satan, revealing a great deal of information during his chats with Satan.

The World Government, based on its knowledge, has enough power to wipe out all pirates in the world today, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of world conquest.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Publishing blank historical records will only lead to more deaths.

As things stand now, she sees no hope of shaking the world government.

Seeing Gion remain silent, Luther patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't overthink it. You can simply think of this as the ostrich-like thinking of my kind. I would never do that if it were me."

Upon hearing this, curiosity flashed in Gion's beautiful eyes:

"If it were Your Highness, what would you do?"

"Just publish it directly, and let those scholars see the results after they're published." Luther's lips curled up slightly.

His words made Gion glare at him angrily. Based on what she had learned over the past few days, Luther shouldn't be that kind of person.

The consequences of doing this might be even more dangerous than Roger starting the Great Pirate Era.

"I'm serious, Gion!"

Luther, noticing the slight change in Gion's expression, chuckled and said:

"Does concealing history mean it doesn't exist? It will be revealed sooner or later. In that case, why not release it little by little while everything is under control? If Gion were a Celestial Dragon, what choice would they make?"

"Is this assumption really a good one?" Gion couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, if I marry Gion, you and our descendants will also be members of the Celestial Dragons!" Luther's lips curled into a slight smile.

He was telling the truth, and it was also a policy recently issued by the Five Elders.

Originally, Celestial Dragons were only allowed to intermarry with each other, but over the years, the drawbacks of inbreeding have become too great, and the introduction of new blood has gradually been tacitly permitted.

But even though that's the case, the threshold is quite high.

Only a place with the potential of Gion could barely meet the threshold, and it also depends on whether the Celestial Dragons are willing.

Furthermore, only one person within three generations can be of a different race; otherwise, the descendants will be stripped of their Celestial Dragon status.

Gion, of course, knew nothing of this and assumed Luther was joking. She rolled her beautiful eyes at him, but still mustered her courage and replied with a smile:

"If it were me, I would probably choose the method of announcement that would have the least impact on the world."

"Foolish naiveté."

Sakazuki offered his assessment in a calm manner, which also reflected his true thoughts:

"Attempting to achieve peace at the lowest cost will only lead to the worst consequences, as Roger did."

Gion's red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to refute Sakazuki, but in the end, she remained silent in frustration.

She is a reasonable person, and with her current experience, it seems she has no way to refute Sakazuki's words.

Because the Navy wanted to reduce the number of pirates by publicly executing Roger, it backfired and ushered in the Great Pirate Era.

If Roger had been killed or imprisoned when he surrendered, so many people wouldn't have wanted to go to sea and become pirates.

Tens of thousands of pirates set sail every year, and in just the last two years, the once peaceful seas have begun to descend into chaos.

Along their journey, they have already sunk nearly 10 pirate ships.

What they didn't see might be places being plundered by pirates.

"I think Gion's idea is great. Only when there are more people with this kind of idea will the world be a better place, and people like me can have an easier time."

Seeing Gion's adorable lowered head, Luther couldn't resist going over and ruffling her hair, then said with a smile:

"Moreover, for Gion's age, it's already quite an achievement to have such insight. You're still young, so follow me and see more. You'll have a different perspective in a few years."

"Um..."

Gion enjoyed Luther's caresses, her face flushed slightly.

Ultimately, she's just a girl in her early twenties who recently graduated from an elite training camp.

However... she seemed to remember that she was older than Luther...

Chapter 8 Ohara, the Beginning of the Buster Call

The exchange at the bow of the ship ended quickly.

Having obtained what he wanted, Luther took Gion back to his room with satisfaction.

Seeing Gion hesitate to speak, Luther chuckled inwardly but didn't say anything.

The timing isn't right yet; it'll probably be about right after this Demon Buster Order.

In matters of love, he wouldn't mind continuing to play around with Gion.

However, he needs to reach an agreement with the other party on their principles as soon as possible.

To be honest, it was very lucky for Luther to meet Gion and Kake when they were young.

Fresh out of the elite training camp, they were like blank sheets of paper. Although they had some ink on them, they could still be easily transformed into something else.

All he had to do was write his own colors on this piece of paper.

If it were Sakazuki, this approach wouldn't be as effective.

Sakazuki is now 33 years old and has experience as a naval officer at the grassroots level, which has long shaped his values ​​and thoughts.

When communicating with Sakazuki, directly discussing terms is often more efficient.

As long as Sakazuki has a stage to demonstrate his justice, he will firmly support you.

Unfortunately, Luther wasn't the only one in the world who could provide this stage, so he still had much more to do.

Luther picked up the glass of red wine on the table, swirled it gently, squinted his eyes, and gazed with pleasure at Gion, who was lost in thought.

Having become a Celestial Dragon, he enjoys the best material conditions in the world. Ordinary beauties, whether they take the initiative or not, will spread their legs when he sets his sights on them.

During his days in the Holy Land, he did do some things; he had already tried some enjoyable activities.

But once the challenges are gone, many things that were once dreamed of become empty.

This is why those people, even after achieving great success, continue to strive.

Now, he seems to have found a new source of enjoyment.

For example, transforming Gion into a shape unique to oneself.

It was a simple appetizer, yet it brought Luther a sense of pleasure.

......

A day goes by quickly.

Luther did not appear when the navies met.

Even so, Borsalino and Fire Mountain still took the initiative to come and meet him, thus becoming acquainted with him.

Before parting, Luther gave Borsalino a small task, and in return, Luther promised to support Borsalino's promotion to general.

Of the lieutenant generals, only Kuzan remained unmoved, acting as if Luther didn't exist.

Luther also discerned the current naval doves' mindset from Kuzan's behavior.

Don't provoke them, don't get close.

They believed they were upholding justice, not serving the world government.

It's a very naive and simple idea: in a better world, these are all good people and good officials.

Unfortunately, in this terrible world, no navy can truly be spotless.

Standing at the bow of the warship, Luther gazed indifferently into the distance. An island was gradually growing larger, and the towering trees on the island were slowly becoming faintly visible.

Behind him, Gion and Dark stood ramrod straight, both wearing CP0-issue white suits.

Before the Buster Call, Gion finally changed out of her original military uniform and put on CP0 attire, which also meant that she officially cut ties with her past.

She's a free-spirited woman; since she can't resist, she might as well think positively.

Following Luther might have allowed us to see the true nature of the world more clearly and find true justice.
