One Piece: My Spirit

It's been almost a year since Shire came to the Great Channel, and some things can only be felt more clearly and intuitively on the Great Channel, whether it is the arms and weapons trading chain in the underground world that 'Joker' participates in, or Crocodile's plan to steal the country for Alabasta, or what will happen to Punk Hazard in the future.

This made Shire feel that this relatively stable era created by the current Admiral Sengoku is coming to an end. The water seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent surging under the water!

Some things unknown to outsiders were also learned by Charles after he joined the navy, and some more private things were also accidentally learned from Gumir.

When Shire was still in Shuangyue Village, he knew that the current admiral of the navy was promoted from admiral to admiral in 1514 in the Haiyuan calendar.

In the era of great pirates that started after Roger's death, the period from 1500 to 1514 was almost the most violent period for pirates!

Whether it was the escape of the Golden Lion from Propel City in 1502, the O'Hara's "Extraordinary Convocation" incident, or the Murloc Fegtail's attack on the holy land of Mary Joa to free slaves in 1509, all of them had a great impact on the navy!
During the nearly 14 years of turmoil, there were only two generals in the entire navy. However, the general Zefa at that time was almost obsessed with recruit education because of various factors such as his family being killed by pirates.

During the 14 years of Steel Gukong's reign as Marshal, it was almost in troubled times, and from 1514 to 1521, the seven years after Warring States succeeded as Marshal, the whole world has changed from a troubled world to a relatively stable and peaceful one.

This is the result of the efforts of the Warring States Period, and it is worthy of the name of "wise general", and at the same time it has achieved "justice in the world"!
It’s just that it’s already 1521, and Shire knows that 1522 is about to cause a major event that will shake the world, and it’s also a wave that will end the old era and start a new era.

Now Shire can already see the undercurrent surging before this chaotic world!And Punk Hazard is just a small microcosm of it!
After the dinner, Charles sat on the shore quietly enjoying the feeling of the sea breeze blowing on his face, when suddenly a red apple was handed over, it was Robin who came to Charles at some time.

After taking the apple, Charles asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Robin also held an apple in his hand, took a bite and said with a smile, "Well, it should be thanks to you that I can enjoy a moment of peace and happiness that I haven't enjoyed for a long time."

"And your next sentence won't be 'So it's time for me to leave'?"

Robin couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing after hearing Charles' joke: "Of course not. I just suddenly felt a little emotional."

Robin brushed her hair and continued to laugh: "And I quite like this casual state now."

After taking a bite of the sweet and sour apple, Charles was silent for a moment and said, "But... this world is full of undercurrents."

Robin also fell silent. Take Alabasta as an example. Even without Robin, Crocodile can still control the Baroque Works without leaking water. At this time, the country in Alabasta is also due to the lack of rain due to the "dancing powder".

Crocodile's "Utopia" plan is also proceeding step by step, and now Alabasta's public grievances have begun to show their spearheads, and Crocodile's title of "national hero" has become more and more resounding.

"I thought you would stop and expose Crocodile's conspiracy."

Charles turned his head to look at Robin and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been holding back this question for a long time? Or are you finally unable to bear it and want to know my thoughts?"

Robin didn't speak, but it was an admission in disguise.

"To be honest, there are too many influencing factors. Whether it is the navy or the world government, the influence on the Alabasta country is too small. They will not rashly believe the words of outsiders like us, and they believe in their own judgment.

The second is Crocodile's identity. Not only does he have the moral high ground of 'national hero', but he is also the 'Shichibukai'. You should also know the complicated relationship between the navy and the 'Shichibukai', right?So this pretty much cuts off the methods that I can obviously use. "

Shire's identity is a navy, and this identity is doomed to the shackles on Shire's body, so Shire's words are not unreasonable.

"Having said that, it's not impossible if you want to force it, but I don't want to do it."

Robin blinked and looked at Charles suspiciously, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of the second half of Charles' sentence.

Looking at the sea in the distance, Charles felt a little emotional: "Robin, since you have also stayed in Alabasta for more than two years, do you see the problems in this country?"

Robin thought for a moment and replied: "The Naferutali royal family is very kind to the people of this country. Compared with many other countries, Alabasta's King Cobra can even be called a 'benevolent king', and he is also very loved by the people. There seems to be nothing wrong with this country, right?"

Robin's answers are basically positive and positive comments, and it seems that she can't find any bad things about the royal family of this country.

But Charles chuckled and said, "Robin, you know, you said it's actually their biggest problem!"

Robin frowned and looked at Shire. From the West Sea to the Great Channel, Robin has also been in the underground world and various places for so long. It is very clear that the people of many countries are almost deeply exploited and oppressed, especially those countries that join the world government.

When Charles saw Robin's appearance, he knew that the other party could not understand, so he explained: "The Naferutali royal family is undoubtedly a 'benevolent king' to the people of this country, and is the gospel of the people, but for this country with a population of 1000 million, it is not a qualified leader."

"It's okay if it's a small country, but this is a country with a large population, and the lives of 1000 million people are on its shoulders! It's not enough to rely on benevolence, loving the people like a child, and my spirit and philosophy of being good to the people. It is also necessary to focus on implementing the actual difficulties encountered by the country to improve and develop!
As a king or a person involved in politics, if you want to bring happiness to the people - political literacy and benevolent governance are equally important!

But the Nafiru Tali royal family does not have enough political literacy!
Moreover, there is also a problem with this royal family that has been passed down for thousands of years, that is, it is 'self-confident' in thought!And it was for this reason that Crocodile took advantage of such a loophole. "
