One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Grandpa, Carsente, I am now able to compete and stalemate with Carsente. Can I follow Carsente to the new world now?"

After the collision, Anna, who was hovering in the air, flew two circles curiously, then slowly landed on the ground. The wings behind her gradually retracted, and the armor on her body turned into a long skirt again.

Anna's face flushed slightly, and she didn't know if it was because of the collision just now, or because of the excitement in her heart and the joy of increased strength.

"Quite impressive. Your current strength is enough to rival those two CP0s you practiced with a few days ago."

Maz's wrinkled face showed a look of satisfaction.

If my granddaughter's previous strength was just mediocre, then now her age, strength and potential have real strategic value for training.

"Grandpa Maz is right. Now you are no weaker than some vice admirals of the navy."

As someone who had personally fought against Anna, Carsent also agreed with Mazsan's point of view.

However, it is worth noting that neither of them answered Anna's question directly.

In fact, whether or not one can go to the new world, as well as the threshold for going to the new world, are determined by both strength and identity.

Ordinary naval soldiers can naturally go to the New World, and no one in power will care about their life or death.

For those at the rank of lieutenant general or below, their lives will no longer be in their own hands once they go deep into the new world.

If a child is really adventuring on the sea, and is willing to risk his life just to improve his strength, then it is worth it to risk his life to improve his strength.

But the problem is that Anna is the apple of the Makaz family's eye and Carsen's future partner.

No one who cared about her was willing to let her risk her life to go to the new world, including Carsent.

In the eyes of those who truly care about Anna, they would rather improve their strength slowly than take the risk of making their loved ones sad.

People who truly care about you value your life more than you do.

"Grandpa, you haven't answered my question yet."

Not getting the answer she wanted, Anna stubbornly asked again.

"Hey, Shadow."

Maz sighed.

"My subordinate is here."

Maz's ghostly figure suddenly appeared less than a meter behind Anna. The sudden voice made Anna freeze all over.

She was completely unaware of Shadow's presence until he spoke.

"I...I understand."

Anna knew better than to ask any more questions, and the joy she had originally felt from obtaining the devil fruit was largely diluted.

After the three of them talked about some daily issues, Anna left first.

"Grandpa Maz!"

After Anna left, the warm atmosphere in the conference room immediately became less warm, and Carsent sat up straight.

"Can you get Simont's position?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Carsent's calm tone.

Simont's threat was so great that Carsent had already decided to kill him even though the two of them had no interaction at all.

Maz understood what Carsente meant, but just shook her head.

"It's no use. You can't kill him."

"The World Government also knows about Simont's threat. His threat lies in the people he wants to kill. Even the top fighters can't save him. He is too special."

"But he doesn't dare to come to the Navy Headquarters, the holy place, because as long as he shoots, he will die."

"Even if you have the Speed ​​Fruit ability, it's impossible to leave if you're targeted by several top fighters."

"It is precisely because he has not yet lost his mind that we cannot take action at all costs."

Maz knew very well the threat posed by Simont. After Rocks' death, half of the threats to the new world came from this lone ranger in the shadows.

"He doesn't shoot, and no one knows where he is."

"But as long as he is alive, he will be a sword hanging over everyone's head."

The only thing that can pose a fundamental threat to the world government is another regime, a regime with a strict organization.

Therefore, Simont alone could never pose a real threat to the World Government.

But as long as he established an organization, it would be equivalent to untying his cloak with his own hands, and the killer under the sun would be nothing.

"Is there really no way?"

Carsen frowned, still not quite reconciled.

"He is already over sixty years old and his strength has begun to decline. He won't be able to enjoy his success for many more years."

"But I promise, as long as you can hold Simonte back for a day, Shadow will arrive within a day, and other top fighters will also go there."

Maz said calmly that he had seen too many people like this in his long life.

And time is the best weapon for these people.

The dust of the world government's eight hundred years of progress has covered too many chosen ones.

"Also, little Carson, you still need our help in the navy."

After that topic was over, Maz turned the conversation to Carsente’s strategy.

"As for the navy, the Holy Shield is developing rapidly in the middle and lower levels, and the upper levels require military merit, which is not urgent."

"In addition, my achievements have not yet reached the level of being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the navy. It will take a few more years of accumulation."

"The navy can no longer compete with the entire New World. The gap is too great. Let's lift the restrictions on the navy."

"The New World won't be peaceful for long. Otherwise, it will be a slow death for those big pirates. They will definitely fight hard before that."

"The hidden power of the World Government does not need to be mobilized unless it is absolutely necessary."

Carsent expressed his understanding.

Carsent's reputation in the navy is much higher than that of the entire new generation. The two exciting battles shown in the navy training camp, the publicity of the Aegis Society and the impact of this battle with the Whitebeard Pirates have made Carsent's reputation far surpass that of the other three.

But at the entire naval level, it is still not enough. Compared with generals like Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku who have been fighting for half their lives, it is still not enough.

Carsent needs to rely on the admiration of his strength and achievements to make the navy form absolute support for him like a belief, and then use the navy as a sword to conquer the new world.

In the future world, there will be no need for pirates. All that is needed is the revolutionary army that occasionally wanders in the shadows to pose a sufficient threat to the member states of the World Government.

"You are right. We have plenty of time to wait for your plan to come to fruition."

When mentioning this, Maz's face also revealed a hint of desire and enthusiasm.

"Strength that surpasses everything. Now, except for your single-target ability, your strength is no less than that of the top combat power, and your strength growth has not slowed down at all."

“You really have the potential to achieve this goal.”

Maz's eyes became ethereal, and eight hundred years of wind and frost on the vast ocean flashed faintly in the old man's eyes.
