General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 444 The World Government is a different kind of pirate group

In Rorschach's view, the current world government is essentially an organization that is recognized by the vast majority of countries in the world and can legally and monopolize the use of violence.

Yes, just admit it.

Whether this recognition is inherited from the ancestors of the twenty kings who created the world 800 years ago, or it comes from the powerful force in the hands of the current world government.

Whether it is passive recognition or active recognition.

The current world government is a law enforcement agency officially recognized by all countries in the world.

On this blue planet with more water than land, the world government has built a powerful navy with bases all over the world.

They prohibit the major alliance countries from establishing their own navies. In this way, when these alliance countries are ravaged by pirates, they have to turn to the World Government to send troops to suppress them.

Naturally, the World Government needs money to send troops. This money is equivalent to the protection fees that pirates regularly collect from their territories.

That is heavenly gold.

Under the load of heavenly gold, the major franchise countries are usually divided into two categories.

One type is a kingdom that is prosperous, economically developed, and nationally powerful, and can easily afford gold from the sky.

Such countries are world-class powers. They don't care about paying a small amount of insignificant gold every year, so they can easily hire a navy to eliminate the threat of pirates.

For example, Alabasta, the Kingdom of Baliwood, the Kingdom of Rashidwan, and many other powerful countries that are often invited to participate in world conferences.

The other category is those weak countries that reluctantly paid some money to join the joining countries because they could not bear the harassment of pirates.

These countries, perhaps because of their small land area, limited domestic resources, and underdeveloped economies, find it difficult to support themselves, let alone pay a large sum of heavenly gold protection fees to the world government every year.

Among them, they include the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea, the Kingdom of Solbei in the South China Sea, the Kingdom of Lubnilu in the North Sea, and the Kingdom of the Drum in the Great Line.

The royal family and nobles have no money, or do not want to spend their private money to pay heavenly gold, but do not want to lose the protection of the world government, so they can only exploit the common people and squeeze the wealth of the bottom workers.

And the people at the bottom of these kingdoms have been living in dire straits for a long time due to excessive exploitation by Tianshangjin, which has resulted in many pirates who venture out to sea because they cannot survive.

The World Government squeezes the weak franchised countries, and the franchised countries squeeze the low-level civilians in the country. The civilians cannot survive and go to sea to become pirates. The pirates attack the franchised countries, and the franchised countries have to seek asylum from the World Government.

In this way, a cycle is formed.

Until these weak franchise countries collapsed. Because they could no longer pay the heavenly gold, they were kicked out and became unprotected non-franchise countries, which became even more chaotic.

Rorschach said and concluded: "If the world government is compared to a huge pirate group, then the Five Old Stars and the Knights of God are the senior cadres of this pirate group. The navy, the Holy Land Guards, the army, It is an affiliated pirate group. Affiliated countries are the territories that are protected after being planted with the flag of the World Government."

"Among them, the rich among the protected ones don't care about the protection fee, so they will not jump out to resist. And the poor are too weak, so even if they resist, they will not be able to make much of a splash. And this, This is the fundamental reason why the World Government has been able to sit at the highest position for a full 800 years!"

If strong countries do not resist, weak countries cannot resist. Of course, the world government can let the storm rise and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the Drum Kingdom, Goa Kingdom, and Sorbei Kingdom are so weak, they are still qualified to receive invitations to the World Conference.

This shows how weak the other 120 participating countries that are not eligible to participate in the World Conference are.

Many so-called kingdoms in this world are actually just small islands.

Not all of them are as vast as Alabasta.

Dorag nodded repeatedly after hearing this, feeling that Rorschach's analysis was quite thorough.Countless thoughts surged in my heart, and I wanted to record everything Rorschach said and study it in detail.

He quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into the wine bowl in front of Rorschach again. He moved his position and sat directly on the stone bench next to Rorschach. He licked his lips and asked expectantly: " So, what do you think we should do if we want to bring down this supreme power?"

Rorschach took a sip from the wine bowl, smacked his lips, touched his chin, and thought for a while again.

Dorag said nothing, not daring to disturb Rorschach's thinking. He sat aside and waited quietly for Rorschach's answer.

Rorschach thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If you want to destroy the World Government, you must first determine the gap between yourself and it."

Dorag nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking like he was all ears.

“We can try to think of the relationship between the world government and other large and small forces as a complete food chain in nature.

The world government is the predator at the top of the food chain, the Neptune type.

There are many forces in the world that can pose a certain threat to it, such as the powerful countries among the franchised countries, the Yonko Regiment, the Shichibukai, and the Revolutionary Army. They are the middle section of this food chain and are sharks.

Those weak franchise countries and non-franchise countries are at the bottom of this food chain, equivalent to shrimp. "

"Mr. Dorag, your revolutionary army may be considered a behemoth to those weak shrimps, too powerful to resist. But in front of the sea kings, even the huge sharks with sharp fangs are just a mouthful. It’s a matter of two people.”

"No matter how many shrimps there are, they can't cause any harm to the Neptunes. If you want to pose a threat to the Neptunes, you can only unite many sharks of similar sizes to attack them."

He looked at Dolag, with a hint of heartfelt admiration in his eyes: "Mr. Dolag, do you know why I have never regarded your revolutionary army as my enemy?"

Without waiting for Dorag to answer, Rorschach continued: "That's because what you are doing is to rescue those weak and unable to resist 'shrimp' from the abyss of the Neptune class. This kind of Even though in the eyes of many people, his behavior is equivalent to shaking a tree with a worm and overestimating his own capabilities, in my opinion, it can definitely be called great."

"Thank you." Dorag nodded, reached out and patted Luo Xia on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Ror Xia, I sincerely invite you to join the revolutionary army. Your thoughts and understanding of the world are what we need. Yes, we can definitely become like-minded comrades. Let us join forces to change the world and save more people."

Luo Xia smiled slightly and shook her head slightly, "Wait until I finish."

"Okay, keep talking." The disappointment in Dorag's eyes flashed away, and he quickly stretched out his hand to signal Rorschach to continue.

"The four seas and seas are the foundation of this world. It may seem weak, but it has most of the world's population. Mr. Dolag, you are right to choose to develop the revolutionary army in the four seas. Protecting the weak and valuing life is what we True justice should be practiced. But..."

"The fairly stable environment in the world is destined not to breed many strong people, and this world is a world for the strong."

"I know what I say next may be outrageous and unreasonable, but this is the reality of the world."

"No matter how many small countries the Revolutionary Army unites in the four seas, it can't compete with going to the Grand Line to win over a big country like Alabasta, or going to the New World to win over a big force like the Yonko Pirates. The activities of the Revolutionary Army in the Four Seas, It may be able to change the chaotic status quo all over the world, but it won’t have much effect on the revolutionary army’s plan to overthrow the world government in the future.”

Rorschach took a long loaf of bread, placed it in front of Dorag, and tapped it.

"With the strength of most kingdoms in the world, even if they agree to resist the World Government, they may not even be able to reach the Red Earth Continent."

"Is the Kingdom of Germa powerful? The evil army is almost equivalent to a hegemon-level force in Beihai, but in front of me, it can be destroyed with a flip of my hand."

Looking at Dorag's thoughtful expression, Rorschach sighed and said: "In this world, strong people can destroy islands and destroy countries, or even destroy the world. If they want to overthrow a behemoth like the World Government, they just need to gather the weak. It’s useless, you have to gather enough strong people, or control big killers like ancient weapons.”

"Also, Mr. Dolag, have you ever thought about the rationality of the existence of a world government?"
