Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

After reporter Kao gave an introduction.

There are still two hours and fifty minutes until the public execution.

However, there was still no sign of the Whitebeard Pirates on the sea, and even the reconnaissance ships scattered dozens or hundreds of miles away had no visual reports.

The wind and waves were calm, as if the White Group had given up on Marco.

But most people don’t really think so, after all...

Whitebeard is well-known for how protective he is of his protégés.

On the execution platform, Sengoku looked at the time and picked up the Den Den Mushi used for amplification.

"Before the execution begins, I have something to explain to you all."

"Marco..."

"About the significance of this man's death here today!"

"Although everyone already knows Marco's identity, it is limited to the fact that he is the son of the Four Emperors Whitebeard and the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, but it is not clear how evil he has done."

"According to relevant statistics, Marco has caused the deaths of a total of 372 civilians and 1278 navy officers in his nearly thirty years of pirate career. The number of injured and disabled people is even greater, and this is only the number that can be counted!"

"In the battle between Kaido and Whitebeard's pirate group a few months ago, the war spread to more than a dozen islands. At least 50 people died in the aftermath of the battle between Marco and others. A navy ship that went to rescue civilians was destroyed by him, and more than 60 brave navy officers and soldiers were killed."

"His sins are unforgivable!"

"And this is just one of the more than ten captains under Whitebeard, and he is not the one who caused the most casualties."

"The crimes committed by the Whitebeard Pirates are too numerous to list!"

Zhan Guo was holding a loudspeaker Den Den Mushi and talking incessantly on the execution platform.

And everything he said, except for a small part, was indeed true.

Although Marco would not go around killing or plundering civilians for no reason, it can be said that the White Pirates are very restrained in this regard, especially the captains, who basically would not do such a thing.

But the battle between the strong, especially this guy Kaido who invades the White Group’s territory all day long.

How can we take care of civilians if the fighting starts?

Even if you don't take action, someone may knock you hundreds of meters away with one punch, and then kill a group of civilians.

Not to mention, two strong men of similar strength were exerting their full strength on a certain island.

As for the navy part.

This goes without saying, it's all true.

Take the scene in the original work where Luffy caused a commotion on the Judicial Island, for example. He knocked groups of marines directly into the sky.

I don't believe that hundreds or thousands of marines didn't die in the process of rushing in.

About Marco...

The numbers given by Zhan Guo were not exaggerated at all, but rather deliberately underestimated.

After all, if we say that thousands of marines died because of Marco in the past thirty years, then...

Doesn’t the Navy have any respect?

As for the example given in the last Warring States period.

Although it was not a lie, Zhan Guo had a trick up his sleeve regarding the purpose of the warship.

Because that warship was not going to rescue civilians, but was a surveillance ship to monitor the battle between the two Four Emperors groups.

But as I said just now, although some language techniques were used in his words, what Zhan Guo said was basically all true.

These publicly disclosed data also allowed many people to understand them intuitively for the first time.

How much blood debt does Marco bear?

"Marco has committed numerous crimes, and the crimes of the Whitebeard Pirates as a whole are too numerous to list!"

"Publicly executing Marco here today not only tells those evil pirates that this is the fate of all of them, but also publicly declares war on the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Even if it's the Four Emperors' pirate group, our navy is also brave enough to destroy it!"

"Marco is the first, but he will definitely not be the last."

"His death will be a symbol!"

"A sign that a great era of pirates has come to an end!"

"From today on, the countdown to the end of the Great Pirate Era has begun!"

Zhan Guo shouted loudly.

Luo Lan was somewhat disdainful.

forget it...

There is no problem in destroying one of the Four Emperors and restoring the reputation of the navy.

As for killing all the pirates...

Will those five old guys allow it?

So, stop dreaming!

Luo Lan is not the 100,000 marines who are cheering loudly at this moment, nor is he the countless civilians around the world who are brainwashed in front of the big screen.

He has a deeper understanding of the existence of pirates.

You said the World Government is incapable of ending the Age of Pirates?

Nonsense! !

Believe it or not, if the World Government and the Navy join forces, and even use some of their trump cards, they can directly defeat the Four Emperors tomorrow, and within a few years, they can wipe out 99% of the pirates on the ocean.

However, why have pirates not disappeared from the stage of history over the past decades or even hundreds of years, but instead have become more and more numerous?

The answer is surprisingly simple. To use a phrase from Luo Lan's previous life, it is...

Keep the enemy at bay!

Why would the world government do this?

It’s actually very simple, it’s to control the member states.

After all, if there were no pirates, the member states would no longer rely on the World Government, and would be less and less willing to pay so much Heavenly Gold every year.

This will undoubtedly cause the world government to slowly collapse.

How can this be done?

So, a pirate plan emerged.

As long as the pirate power grows, it will become so strong that if these member states do not cling tightly to the World Government, there will be a danger of national destruction.

Then, all problems will not be problems, and the Celestial Dragons’ rule over the world will be as solid as a rock.

At first the plan was very successful.

Due to the huge threat posed by pirates, all member states have to cling tightly to the World Government.

But soon, problems arose.

The pirate forces have grown too fast, completely beyond the control of the World Government.

Of course, this does not mean that pirates can overthrow the World Government, but it means that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the World Government to check and balance these pirates without using its resources.

Until Roger's execution, the pirate forces expanded rapidly and almost got out of the control of the World Government.

This is also the first step of Roger's entire plan.

You use pirates to rule the world, so I will follow you and let the great pirate era come.

Faced with a world completely out of control, the Five Elders had no choice but to carry out another plan, which was...

The Seven Warlords of the Sea Plan!

Yes, since the original balance has collapsed, let's select some pirates to form the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

To put it bluntly, it means to win over a group of powerful pirates and have them join your side.

Thus, the balance between the two sides is restored.

This is also why the Five Elders in the original work said that the balance between the navy, pirates, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea is the cornerstone of the world.

The World Government has to support the pirates.

The prerequisite is that the enemy you raise cannot get out of control, let alone bite your master.

That's why Luo Lan said...

It is simply impossible for Sengoku to completely eliminate pirates.

Because the Five Elders won’t allow it!
