Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 216 Marjorie Regent's Draft Proposal
Ships from various kingdoms will anchor in Red Harbor.

Red Harbor is an important port on the Red Earth Continent close to the holy land of Mary Gioia.

Marjorie set foot on the only continent in the pirate world for the first time.

It is called the Red Earth Continent. Obviously, the soil on this huge land is acidic red soil rich in iron.

This kind of soil is far less suitable for the development of agriculture than black soil and loess.

This may be the reason why the population on the Red Earth Continent of One Piece World is very thin compared to the various islands.

Of course, this is a magical world where cola can be used as an energy source, and things cannot be simply measured by common sense.

Garp, the old thief, and the warship they were on were obviously faster.

As in the original book, Garp greeted Marjorie, the new ruler of the Kingdom of Goa, in Red Harbor as a vice admiral.

As for Cobra and his party, he also greeted them by the way.

Everyone is old acquaintances, except that Crocodile had some stress reactions when he saw Karp, everything else was normal.

Under Garp's leadership, everyone boarded the Red Earth Continent on a giant elevator.

In this regard, Ma Qiao had to complain again.

According to relevant information, the altitude of the holy land of Mary Joa is [-] meters.

That is to say, the vertical height of the elevator Ma Qiao and the others took.Reached [-] meters.

This thing can no longer be described as high-tech.

And since Holy Land Marie Gioia.Such an elevator can be installed.So why world government.Isn't such an elevator installed in Upside Down Mountain?

Wouldn't it be easy to reach the final island in this way?
Even if the World Government is not interested in the Great Secret Treasure, there is such a shortcut to ambush it in advance.Isn't it beautiful?
Just as Ma Qiao was thinking wildly, the magnificent building of Marie Gioia appeared in front of her eyes.

To be honest, Ma Qiao, who was used to seeing all kinds of skyscrapers and future cities in his previous life, did not feel too much shocked by such buildings.

In his plan, Shurima in the future will definitely be a hundred times more majestic than this Draconic city.

Along the way, the thing that Ma Qiao was worried about, that the young master Tianlong was staring at Weiwei, did not happen.

After all, Weiwei is not Bai Xing, her goal is not so big and conspicuous.

These evil-doing Tianlong people are far less interested in ordinary human girls than they are in mermaid girls or other girls of other races.

However, as far as Ma Qiao knew, lustful evil spirits like St. Charles Rose often did things like robbing human women in the street.

Today, half of his body is buried in the Draco Cemetery in Mary Gioia.The other half of the body was sewn on Ibu Salom's buttocks, which was considered a worthy death.

After arriving at the embassy area, Macho specially asked someone to inquire about the composition of the Fishman Island delegation.

Sure enough, the current Princess Shirahoshi is still in a state of autism, and only King Neptune and his second son came to the Holy Land of Mariejoa from the Dragon Palace this time.

Most of the female murlocs are beautiful and lovely, except for Obasan who loves to drink, while the male murlocs have very hot eyes.

However, considering that he is a psychiatrist, and there is an autistic girl in the Dragon Palace who urgently needs treatment, Ma Qiao still took the initiative to talk to her.

The chatting process went smoothly.

Because Mr. Ma, who has friends all over the world, once again found an acquaintance in the murloc team.

The little murloc Fitz is now in the high position of the vice-captain of the Nipla Guards.

Compared with the giants, the murlocs actually don't have many masters.

Moreover, most of them either went to Murloc Street as gangsters, or went to sea to become pirates, and very few Murlocs were willing to work for Dragon Palace.

In the original book, the Straw Hats did not work hard.The Dragon Palace City was easily captured, which is enough to show that Brother Neptune is an "excellent monarch" on par with Brother Cobra.

For Nipla, the appearance of Fitz is definitely an encouraging thing. Finally, someone who can barely fight is willing to serve him.

After two years, Fitz finally became the vice-captain of the Guards.

This proves once again that it is too easy to go undercover in One Piece World.

Fitz told King Neptune affectionately about Mr. Ma's glorious deeds, and told King Neptune that he was almost turned into a small fish by a hateful slave trader, and it was the kind and loving Mr. Ma who redeemed him at his own expense. down.He has always remembered this kindness until now.

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Fitz also warmly greeted Tam.

King Neptune looked at this very wealthy catfish murloc dressed in gold and silver.

The fact that a murloc can become a successful person in a human country is enough to show that the Shurima lord and regent of the Goa Kingdom in front of him is indeed a human being with goodwill towards mermaids.

Marjorie warmly invited Brother Neptune to dinner, and of course he also invited Brother Cobra.

Even Mary Gioia can accomplish a lot with Bailey.

Ma Qiao rented a restaurant directly, and Tamm cooked the food himself, and prepared a sumptuous dinner.

What is more surprising is that Cobra's younger brother showed extraordinary enthusiasm, and he even offered to help in the kitchen.

This made Marjorie and Brother Neptune look at each other.

After all, as the monarch of a country, he cooks himself.Cobra's approach is indeed somewhat confusing.

But I have to say that Cobra's cooking skills are really good.

Neptune held up his thumb and praised: "Your Majesty Cobra, you must be the best cook among all the kings!"

That night, the rulers of the three kingdoms chatted happily, and Ma Qiao took the opportunity to propose a package of economic cooperation plans.

Taking advantage of the drink, Neptune and Cobra swiped their pens, and both agreed to the investment plan of the Big Bird Consortium.

From this point of view, the two real kings are indeed not as politically sensitive as Kaido's brother.

They drank three or two horse urine and became drunk like this. Mr. Kaido drank a few jars of strong vodka, but he was still able to maintain his sanity, and categorically rejected the cultural invasion conspiracy attempted by Big Bird Network.

But Ma Qiao reckoned that even if they didn't drink, they probably wouldn't be able to see their own layout.

After all, these two may not have anything else in common, but after being tied up and thrown on the ground, they pretended to be calm, but they were carved out of the same mold.

Oh, by the way, my daughter is quite juicy...

Silent all night.

The next day, Marjorie was invited to visit the "Void Throne", a famous scenic spot in the Holy Land of Mary Gioia.

Every head of state who came to the holy land of Mariejoa for the first time will receive such an invitation. The purpose is to let them know how the ancestors of the world's nobles created this world and made immortal feats.

The World Government staff responsible for the introduction brought Ma Qiao into a majestic building. It is said that the five old stars who can control the world's affairs without leaving home work in this building.

But Ma Qiao didn't see any of the five of them, but was taken directly to an empty room.

At the back of the room, straight up steps lead to an empty seat.

That is the Void Throne.

Descendants of 800 of the 20 kings who formed the world government 19 years ago, they call themselves "descendants of the Creator" and have lived in Mariejoia for generations.

In order to show awe of power, no one has climbed to the highest pinnacle of power for 800 years.

The Void Throne is always empty.

The staff member gushed about these histories.

But Marjorie only thought he was farting.

After all, he knew very well about that mysterious figure named Im.At this moment, I am afraid that I am playing with butterflies among the flowers in the deepest part of Pangu City.

Ma Qiao didn't know Im's secret, but felt that this guy was quite similar to Dongfang Bubai, and he should be a very complicated and contradictory character.

Ma Qiao felt it carefully, and even under the stunned expression of the staff, he danced a section of Jiangnan style at the sword mound in front of the Void Throne, and he didn't feel anyone spying on him from the beginning to the end.

Of course, it's also possible that my sense of dominance is too weak, and I can't feel that someone is peeping.

Blame the third brother.

Originally, Ma Qiao planned to ask Lei Li to learn about domineering, but he was disturbed by the third brother.

But it doesn't matter if you don't have knowledge, he also activated his scanning skills while dancing, and swiped at the Void Throne, and was shocked...

……

After a night of mixed feelings, the World Conference was officially held on the third day.

It was the exclusive guide who brought Ma Qiao to the main venue of the meeting.

Here, Ma Qiao met all kinds of other 49 heads of state.

However, the five old stars still did not appear.

Ma Qiao even wondered if these five old fellows had been cursed by some kind of curse. They could never get out of that office for the rest of their lives, and could only keep posing in the office to pass the boring time.

Of course, although the five old stars did not appear, representatives of the world government still appeared at the venue, and they seemed to have a high status.

Macho played a game called "Civilization 5" in his previous life.

This time the World Conference was similar to the game Macho played.

Each country puts forward an issue according to its own situation, and then votes to determine whether the issue can be passed after fierce debate.

Once passed, the world government will ensure that this issue is implemented.

It sounds very democratic and very procedurally just.

But in fact, it is the normal state of politics to have a big meeting for a small matter and a small meeting for a big one.

The so-called Fifty Kings Conference was more like a place for quarreling and wrangling, and the discussions were all about trivial matters.

Of course, there are no exceptions. For example, at the world conference in [-] in the Haiyuan calendar, fifty kings voted to abolish the Qiwuhai system under the king.

However, according to Ma Qiao's guess, the votes of those kings were only the superficial reason for the abolition of the Qiwuhai system.

The essential reason is that the world government has found a substitute in Vegapunk's technology that can replace the combat power of Shichibukai, the so-called scientific force.

Otherwise, no one would pay attention to King Riku and Cobra shouting out their throats.

In short, at this world meeting, Ma Qiao didn't hear any exciting and important issues.

The issues raised by Murloc Island are commonplace issues related to fighting for equal rights for Murlocs.

Marjorie and Cobra both voted yes.

Marjorie is for racial equality.

What he opposed was nothing more than super-national treatment and reverse racism.

As long as everyone's status is equal and competition is fair, Ma Qiao doesn't think these murlocs can cause any trouble under the sun.

But it's a pity that in the end, brother Neptune still didn't get more than half of the approval votes.

The murloc's affirmative action still has a long way to go.

And Macho himself, as the regent of the Kingdom of Goa, proposed this time the "Normalization Mechanism About the World Government's Outstanding Contributions to Maintaining the Political Stability of the Allied Countries".

Macho suppressed the old nobles in Goa Kingdom.Cold treatment was done at the news level.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Ma Qiao knew that the CP organization would learn about these contents sooner or later.

Therefore, Ma Qiao has to repeatedly characterize on various occasions, telling the world government that what he is doing is not a revolution, not a systematic liquidation of the old class by the new class, but just the common behavior of the nobles and the common party when the kingship alternates.

After all, the world government can completely tolerate the massacres among nobles.

Just like Brother Ming's cleansing of the Liku royal family, no one would care about him even if he didn't have the identity of the former Tianlong.

But if the nature of the matter becomes revolutionary, then the attitude of the world government will be completely different.

The reason why Monkey D. Long is called the most dangerous person, and the reason why the revolutionary army is regarded as the greatest threat by the world government is because revolutions will really shake the foundation of the Tianlong people's rule and must be suppressed at the first sign middle.

During the half hour of his speech on stage, Macho spent about 10 minutes expounding on the wisdom and greatness of the world government.

Then it took another 10 minutes to propose that the world government should take the lead in establishing an efficient and normal rapid response force to help a country like the Kingdom of Goa that was in chaos due to the handover of the throne quickly restore stability.

In addition, Ma Qiao also pointed out that several kings have accused each other of infringing on their own interests at the conference before, and supporting the rapid response force can also play a role in mediating and quickly intervening.

Ma Qiao's proposal immediately aroused heated discussions.

Adding a rapid-response force will inevitably mean paying more taxes.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the burden on those poor and weak countries.

But on the other hand, as Ma Qiao said, the world government has always instructed to protect each member country from attacks by non-member countries or pirate forces, but it has never mediated disputes between member countries.

For example, the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea often roams and invades other countries, plundering property.

If there is such a rapid response force, it will undoubtedly be a good protection for the whole country and weak countries.

After weighing again and again, leaders of many countries began to nod frequently during the discussion.

Vinsmoke Gage stared at Marjorie with wide eyes, as if to say that I gave you my daughter, how dare you plot against me?
Ma Qiao ignored the threat in the eyes of brother Jiaji, and looked at the representative of the world government with a smile.

Ma Qiao knew that it was actually the views of the world government and the world nobles they represented that could really decide whether the proposal could be passed.

as predicted.

Not long after Ma Qiao raised this issue, the representative of the world government quietly left.

After a while, he hurried back from the meeting room and secretly handed out small notes to the kings of certain kingdoms.

"Our Kleiner Kingdom supports the establishment of a quick-response force directly under the orders of the world government, but we believe that the selection of the commander of this force must be carefully considered."

"He can't be a long-established high-level naval combat power, lest frequent missions lead to an imbalance in the combat power between the navy and the five sea emperors."

"He can't be an inexperienced low-level officer. If he doesn't have a certain strength, then this quick response force will be completely unable to play a role in mediating national conflicts."

"The last and most important point is that we believe that this capable young officer must also be a principled person who believes in absolute justice and respects the nobles of the world. Only such a person can handle the conflicts between the franchise countries fairly. .”

"So where can we find such a young officer who meets the requirements?" Another joking king asked everyone present at the right time.

"I heard that recently there is a very active navy rookie who has the reputation of 'Dragon Guard', and that is Colonel Darius!"

"Which one of you supports? Who opposes?"
