Konoha vs. One Piece

Chapter 398 Miscellaneous Things
Sengoku finally announced his abdication.

After months of keeping the lid on it, the government has finally found a decent and reasonable excuse.

As long as enough people believe that Marshal Sengoku was dismissed by the government because of ineffectiveness in handling affairs, and the puppet prosthetics prepared by Konoha for Sengoku, it can make Sengoku look completely unscathed at the resignation ceremony lossless.

Of course, this so-called prosthetic is not the kind that can shoot an ax out of the elbow, but a remote puppet that needs to be controlled by others like a puppet.

The principle is similar to the well-known puppet secret art attack blade, which is just a trick to create the illusion that the Warring States period still looks like it is still standing.

But I have to say that this trick has fooled many people.The purpose of the Five Old Stars has been achieved, just as Gang Gukong had to step down as admiral of the navy because of arresting the Red Earl and was seriously injured. The means of propaganda were diverted from the defeat of the Admiral himself.

Now when everyone thinks of the resignation of Marshal of the Warring States Period, he will only feel that he did not do well enough, not because the government suffered a disastrous failure.

Another thing that caused great repercussions among the navy was the return of Drago.With the current situation so tense, the return of a high-level combat force like Drago to the navy naturally caused a huge sensation, and most people thought he was dead.Even Wu Laoxing was alarmed and personally met the admiral who they had a bad impression of because of the Tianlongren incident.

After all, the opponent is too strong, strong enough always has privileges.

And from the moment the Warring States period resigned, the battle for the marshal began. This competition between the factions and the contest between the open and the dark will last for a long time. Unless one party voluntarily retreats, it is very likely to return to the It turns out that the solution to the red dog and the blue pheasant in history.After all, the degree of tit-for-tat confrontation between the new generation of navy of this generation is much stronger than that of the old navy of the previous generation.

But what is surprising is that the battle came to an end in just three months.Aokiji, who was favored by the five old stars because of his loyalty, eventually fell into the sand, and Sakaski was eliminated early. The final winner turned out to be Dorag, who had not returned to the navy for a long time.

Let go of the grievances and resentments of the past three months and the looming shadow of the Warring States Period. This year is the fourth year of Roger's execution, and the fifth year since Kozuki Oden returned to his hometown.

As time went by, the Konoha mercenaries gradually became famous in the world of pirates.

There are many things that the world government can't take care of. The vendettas between countries, the battles between pirate forces, and the biggest bounties for pirates are almost a desert.

In the era of Roger and even Crocodile, the rewards offered by the pirates were all serious figures, such as 8 million Baileys. If someone could bring Crocodile's head to the Navy branch, Then the Navy Branch really has the money to pay him.

The rewards in this period were real rewards, there was no other meaning, it was as simple as paying the money and delivering the goods, but this kind of reward relationship gradually changed over time in the original history.

In the era of Luffy, like those supernovas offering rewards of [-] to [-] million Baileys, the price of any one person is worth a few Crocodile, and the most important thing is that there are supernovas every year. If they really pay all of them, the government itself They are about to go bankrupt, but even so, they still offer such a high reward for several supernovas every year. Why?

The answer is: no one can take them to claim the reward.

Even a pirate as tough as Crocodile could become a hunting target before the times began to run amok.At that time, not only the navy was strong, but the pirates were also involved internally. A large number of strong men were active in the sea, and they also followed the government to suppress pirates. These pirate hunters were the best supplement to the navy's combat effectiveness, but after Roger's words— —Tell me a joke, Zoro, the strongest pirate hunter in the East China Sea, has become a pirate.

No matter how many pirates there are, they don't appear out of thin air. Even if someone wants to go to sea to become a pirate, it is a high enough threshold for a person who lived on land before to learn how to navigate the sea without drowning himself!Thinking of sweeping the world within a year or two, is it true that the pirates are all NPCs and can be refreshed?

This is why many members of the navy are full of discrimination against the pirate hunter industry, because in their eyes, every pirate hunter is a potential pirate.

So it turned out that in the middle and later stages of history, the government found that no one came to receive the bounty, and it simply let itself go, increasing the price of the bounty for pirates, and it would be good to attract more people to cause trouble for these pirates.But now the gap in this era has been filled by Konoha.

The navy offers rewards for no one to be a pirate, and all the hunters have gone to be pirates. That's great, no one is robbing the business, here I come!
The so-called ninjas also have to become stronger through battles, and so many low-level pirates swarming out of this world happen to be high-quality targets for training.

The government also needs to do this. There are too many pirates running around in this era, and it is impossible to catch them. The government must prevent those big pirates from taking the opportunity to become bigger, and these ordinary low-level pirates can be shared by Konoha. That is equivalent to the government using financial resources to maintain the stability of the world, just like the military expenditure allocated to the navy, in fact there is no difference.

Although Sarutobi and the others are very clear that this situation will only be temporary, and Konoha, who is competing with the navy for money, will become a bit of an eyesore when the navy is free, but at least Konoha, who can get money to fight pirates now, can help very busy.

The purpose of the wood industry has a deeper consideration.

Jobs such as catching pirates are just temporary quick money. When the navy calms down, it will be handed over to the navy sooner or later. Konoha knows very well that they cannot occupy this job for a long time.

The navy should be the only force in this sea that can form a militarized system to exterminate pirates, otherwise, Konoha's behavior is challenging the meaning of the existence of the navy.And on the other hand, Konoha also has a large number of people lurking into the navy, and there is no need for the village to come out with such a head.What Konoha really wanted to do was to use the bounty mission of fighting pirates to accept some other employment missions.

For example, an uprising packaged as a war, or a revolution packaged as a coup.

Supporting pro-Konoha forces has been used by Sarutobi and Danzo for many years, and now it is just a change in the program that these forces need to follow.

They have accumulated a large number of non-ninja forces outside the eyes and ears of the government. These forces are hidden in various countries and islands in the world, and are always ready to play a role in the future.Konoha's real purpose is to confuse the difference between the mission and the bounty mission, and to cover up these actions called hiring but actually planting forces.
