Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 176 New Era

The Sun Also Rises.

Today is a sunny day with a warm sea breeze.

Navy Lieutenant Commander Geuno ran down the corridor of the Navy Headquarters holding documents.

He was in a panic and shouted: "Give way! Give way! Emergency military reports from the front line must be submitted to the Chairman!"

Mistakes will naturally occur in a panic, and at the next corner, Jie Wu Nuo collided with someone and fell to the ground and scrambled.

"Ouch! Who is this blind person who does things so recklessly? Are you rushing to be reincarnated?!"

"Sorry sorry!"

Jeuno quickly picked up the scattered documents and apologized repeatedly.

"Huh? Are you the number one among the first batch of students in the Iron-Blooded Military Academy?" The person who was bumped into by Geuno was surprised.

Geuno raised his head and exclaimed: "Marshal!"

Being called marshal, Huang Mu quickly waved his hand: "Don't call me that, I can't bear it!"

"But Marshal Aramaki's current military rank is Marshal. It was you who ended the pirate era."

Aramaki quickly covered Geuno's mouth and looked back at the office not far away.

"How come you don't have any political consciousness! Alas, if I still have the power, I will definitely stop your foul mouth."

Geuno didn't know why, he just pointed to the office door not far away and said: "I still want to see Chairman Zefa."

"Go! Go!"

Aramaki drove Gieuno away, then suddenly let out a long sigh and tightened the marshal's coat and cloak behind his back, feeling lonely.

He thought that he should resign and leave. He should have seen clearly in his life. He had just disbanded and returned to the field as soon as he lost his fruit power five years ago.

In the office of the Chairman of the Navy’s Supreme Military Council.

The current five core members and several alternate members gathered together.

The five core members are: Zefa, Ghost Spider, Stoloberg, Stirres, and Django.

The chairman of the committee is Zefa. He is older than five years ago. He is as old as a piece of dry bark that will fall off at any time. His right sleeve is empty, and the metal arm that was once inlaid with seastones is no longer there. exist.

The atmosphere in the office is depressing.

It was at this time that Geuno was inspected by the guards and let in.

After entering, he stopped shouting and quietly handed the documents to Zefa's desk, and everyone's eyes followed Geuno's movement.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Colonel Geuno, get down."

Geuno nodded, took two steps back, glanced away, and winked at Haye who was next to the official member of Django, but Haye did not respond.

Geuno thought to himself, Haye is still good at it. He became a colonel in a short time after graduating from the military academy, and he is still qualified to sit in on this most important meeting.

no!I have to work harder too!For our common dream!
Zefa quickly finished scanning the documents sent by Jeuno, his face became more gloomy and sad.

"The royal family of the King of Blue has rebelled again. It's huge, with more than [-] people. I don't know where they got a batch of high-quality weapons. Now Wang Shuanghu of the [-]th Army has quickly set out to suppress it."

Zefa briefly explained the latest situation, and the white-haired Ghost Spider became furious after hearing this.

"Damn it! I knew those people were untrustworthy! Royal families all over the world have rebelled again and again! It shows that we have done something wrong! We should have removed all royal families, nobles, rich people, all Kill them all!!"

Ghost Spider was very excited, but he no longer had the domineering body protection after years of battles and scars. After saying these words, he coughed violently.

"Old man, take it easy." Stoloberg quickly touched his old comrade's back.

"No, don't worry about me, I hate it!" Ghost Spider burst into tears.

"Five years ago, the marshal never came out of Marie Gioia again. Since then, the Red Earth Continent has been shattered, and the four seas have been unified. We followed the marshal's will to transform the world and carried out the marshal's established plan, but now we have made it like this , It’s all because we have become weak!”

Ghost Spider's cries echoed in the office, but no one dared to say a word in the face of his accusations.

After all, it was Zefa who sighed and said, "It's my fault. I had good intentions and didn't want to do things too far. That's why the national reform plan failed."

As soon as these words came out, Stoloberg quickly comforted him and said: "General Committee Chairman, I don't blame you for this. Rebellion is inevitable. Just suppress it. Hasn't it happened many times in the past five years?"

"Yes, yes, just suppress it. The Seventeenth Army Corps has gone."

"The Blue King's royal family can once again gather 10 people to cause trouble, which shows that they still have a considerable mass base. We should find out what happened and let the Qing rebels handle it. The key point is to find out where the weapons came from! This is very important!"

"Actually, I think you have done a good job regarding the national reform plan, Chairman Zefa. After all, not all royal families are die-hards. At the beginning, quite a few kings took the initiative to hand over their crowns and were very cooperative. For example, Dressro Sa is a model of national reform, do you really want to kill him with rivers of blood and heads rolling in?"

In the office, a large number of people came out to smooth things over, indicating that what Zefa did was not wrong.

Watching this scene, Ghost Spider became even more depressed and vomited blood, but now he is just an ordinary old man, and his original strength has disappeared with the disappearance of Akainu.

Standby committee member Amanda Roy watched all this quietly in the corner. Five years later, he had become more mature and even grew a beard. He suddenly stood up and said:

"Everyone, looking back at the past five years since the departure of the great Marshal Sakaski, we have successfully completed the reform of the Navy from a base to a legion, and established a new system with the Military Commission as the core and commanders and combatants as the starting point. The naval system has greatly enhanced the cohesion of the navy and unprecedentedly strengthened its combat effectiveness, making it the most powerful force in the world after all supernatural forces disappeared."

"This is the legacy left by the great Marshal Sakaski. We must make good use of it. The new navy is the guarantee for us to implement political ideas and build a new world."

"We have used the navy to clean up all pirates, and resolutely clean up all gangs, bandits, robbers and other evil forces that threaten the lives and property safety of ordinary people in every corner of the sea, so that all races in the world will no longer have to We live in constant fear under the shadow of violence."

"At the same time, we abolished the original privileges of the royal family and nobles of all countries in the world, including the Tianlong people, confiscated their property, liberated their people, banned all unfair exploitation, let all countries establish a democratic parliamentary system, and unite to replace Former world governments establish a grand alliance of world states for peace.”

"This is national reform."

“At the execution level, we mainly focus on persuasion. Unless we encounter an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the people, we will resolutely crack down on them and use the People’s Public Trial Assembly to try them. But everyone knows that asking a person to give up his The profit was more uncomfortable than his life, so we also killed many royal nobles."

"About [-]% of the world's population."

"As for those who were not killed, you and I know very well that they did not accept our ideas, but were frightened by the violence of the navy, so they had no choice but to cooperate. After all, there is no longer any supernatural power in the world. Even storms rarely arise again, guns and warships become the dominant force, and they have to obey."

"But now that five years have passed, will those royal nobles who did not kill us really be grateful to us for letting them live? Obviously not, they are resentful, very resentful, so they get up to cause trouble from time to time and cause us trouble. "

"I even estimate that they have secretly united, otherwise it would be impossible to explain where the large number of weapons from the Country of Blue came from!"

"So comrades, we can no longer sit back and wait for death, we cannot appease them, we must put out this fire as soon as it starts! So as an alternate member of the Military Commission, I propose: a new national reform! This is Regardless of whether they are good or bad, just look at their identities and kill them all!"

"it is good--!!"

After listening to Roy's eloquent speech, Ghost Spider was the first to express his approval.

Core member Shi Tierres said worriedly: "Kill them all? But this will cause a fierce counterattack by the royal family and nobles. You have to know that in our newly established World Nations Peace Alliance, many officials are former royal nobles. This will make us The newly formed government collapsed immediately."

"Commissioner, you are old. If Marshal Sakaski was still here, he would definitely not agree with what you said."

Stirres's face turned blue and white as Roy spoke a word, and he did not dare to refute.Because in today's navy, the disappeared Sakaski is the sky!That’s everything!No room for doubt!

But Stirres was, after all, one of the core members appointed by Sakaski. He argued with reason:
"I'm not weak, it's just that the war really should be over. All the people don't want to suffer from the war anymore. A new world government has been established. If we rashly carry out another national reform, not only the royal nobles, but also the intellectuals , businessmen, ordinary people, etc. will also become hostile to us because they sympathize with the dead!"

"Isn't everything we do for peace? Then wouldn't it be better to solve the problem and try to maintain it when there is a problem? Then we must kill them?"

Roy glanced at everyone present. The people here are the most powerful people in the world today. He paid special attention to the change in Zefa's expression, and then said to Stirres with a cold look:
"Commissioner, you are wrong. We are not for peace, but for fairness! This is the legacy of the great Marshal Sakaski! History has proven to us countless times that false peace will only bring cruel oppression. We must break it All this requires true freedom and equality!”

Stierres's expression changed drastically.

Roy took a step forward and said impassionedly:

"It is because of the incomplete revolution that the current troubles are endless! Although the property, land, and identity of those royal nobles were confiscated by us, they transformed into parliamentarians and re-entered the government, and were dormant in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. , when we are weak, they will attack us in groups, defeat us, and take back everything they think is theirs."

"Those royal nobles have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and countless thoughts and arts have been produced to prove that superior people are noble. Therefore, it is impossible to try to reform them with thoughts. Their selfish thoughts will also affect ordinary people, and they must be treated at the source. Complete destruction!”

Ghost Spider slapped the table and stood up: "Roy, you kid has awakened! That's it! We must start a new vigorous reform of the country! Completely destroy those people. The marshal said that only complete destruction can bring about a new world!"

Alternate member Maynard said cautiously: "Some royal families are still good, and they no longer care about power, such as Dressrosa, Alabasta..."

"Although some royal nobles joined the ranks and became officials, it was only because of their knowledge and talents. Otherwise, the government would be run by a group of idiots..."

"Yes, the new government cannot function without those people. We can't do this..."

Many people still couldn't bear it and gave very reasonable reasons. But at this time, the last core member who had been silent spoke.

That is Django, who is known as a slave liberator and enjoys prestige among the lower class. More importantly, he was Marshal Sakaski's closest fighting partner.He was not originally a naval personnel, but after Sakaski disappeared, Zefa quickly promoted him to the core decision-making level.

Django, still wearing the golden mask, said:

"Are we going to make the same mistakes again? I think Commissioner Roy has made it very clear. An incomplete revolution will only lead to endless troubles. I really don't believe it. Without those people, the world cannot go on!"

Django's voice was decisive, and at the same time, he was instantly approved by a large number of people present.

Roy was overjoyed when he saw this scene, thinking that he had made the right bet. Five years after Sakaski disappeared, the radicals were still in the majority, and if they wanted to gain power, they had to be on their side.

"That's enough. Let's end today's discussion. I'll make a decision after I think about what to do in the future."

In the end, it was Zefa who came out to stop the noisy scene. Now only he has this prestige, and the others can only leave one after another.

Zefa was the only one left in the huge office. He slumped in his chair, looking up at the ceiling helplessly. In a trance, Sakaski's back appeared again...

This made Zefa's mind instantly return to five years ago, the final battle of Mariejoia five years ago. By the time Zefa arrived at the scene, everything had been destroyed and the Red Earth Continent began to collapse.

Only one person is still standing there, Polusalino.

Zefa eagerly asked what happened?What about Sakaski?
Kizaru replied: Sakaski, Im and Doflamingo died together, and relayed Sakaski's last words:

"Teacher, I think I have succeeded. All the old forces that hindered the birth of the new order have been destroyed by me. This world is no longer a world where individual combat power can affect everything. All supernatural forces, whether it is devil fruits, domineering, weather Geography or science, which is messy because of physics, will all disappear, and the world will soon return to normal."

"It's a pity that I can only go so far. When the old world is destroyed and the new world is about to be born, I no longer have the power to survive. As for the task of building a new world, please ask Teacher Zefa to complete it on my behalf. , if one generation cannot complete it, it will be passed on to the next generation. Each generation will always reach the tomorrow we all look forward to."

Zefa felt sad when he heard the last words and did not believe it was true because it was different from what Sakaski had originally told him.

But Kizaru stopped answering. After saying a simple goodbye, he embarked on a cosmic journey towards the stars and the sea.

Thus, a new era began.

Five years later, Zefa looked up at the ceiling helplessly and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to go on.

"What would you do if you were still here?"

Zefa thought about it and finally made up his mind.

"Go and ask Commissioner Roy to come over."

　It’s better to finish writing and give an ending.
