One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

After hearing what his grandfather said, Carsen thought for a moment and said:

"Strength, only the strength to suppress all resistance, can maintain eternal rule"

Hearing Carson's pointed answer, the Five Elders all stroked their beards and laughed.

"So, besides strength?"

Faced with the Five Elders' questions, Carsent didn't know what to say for a moment.

Besides strength? Isn't strength alone enough? Isn't it the best rule when no one can resist?

"Strength alone is certainly not enough. What we want is domination, not destruction."

Sartan said, as if he could see through Carsent's heart.

"In the forest, even the tiger is no match for the savage elephant, but the king of beasts is always the tiger"

Mercury Vochuli Saint took over the topic.

"Because of fear, the tiger's bloody killing makes every beast in the jungle deeply afraid, so when the tiger roars in the forest, all beasts surrender. The elephant has extraordinary strength, but its non-competitive character can only make the elephant a strong man who is detached from the world, and it can never become the king."

After hearing the words of the Five Elders, Carsen lowered his head, thinking about something.

I thought I could analyze the essence of this world with my wisdom as a time traveler, but I didn't expect that my ideas were too one-sided.

But it was normal. Carsente was just an ordinary person in his previous life. After reincarnation, he was just six years old and had no experience. Most of his views were just theoretical, without any concrete practice or debate.

When it comes to understanding of ruling, how can anyone compare to the Five Elders who have been in power for half their lives?

“The respect of the ruled is the cornerstone of maintaining rule. Whether it is benevolence or foolish thoughts of sharing happiness with the people, it will only make the ruler lose his lofty bearing.”

"Once the ruler is seen through, those people will realize that they are no different from the ruler and lose their reverence, and the rule will never be stable."

"Your kindness will only lead to the calculation and betrayal of the foolish people."

Listening to the teachings of the Five Elders, Carsen seemed to understand something:

"So, the celestial dragons that parade around are essentially creating fear?"

“That’s absolutely right.”

Satan slammed the table, extremely satisfied with Carsent's understanding.

"Those good-for-nothings can't rule the world, but they can create fear among the common people."

"As for ruling the world, leave it to us."

Mars Mars Saint concluded domineeringly.

"So little Carson, what do you think now?"

There doesn't seem to be any problem, Carsent thought to himself, but he always felt something was wrong.

That is……?

"But do we really have the power to rule everything?"

Carson thought.

After all, the Celestial Dragons only control the King of the three ancient weapons.

But this world is a world surrounded by water after all. The Poseidon who controls all sea kings and the Pluto battleship that can destroy a large island with one shot are both missing.

After hearing Carson's pointed questions, Satan felt more satisfied and smiled softly.

"we do not have."

Hearing this reasonable yet unexpected answer, Carsent was about to say something, but Satan added

“But they will never unite”

"The giants' royal court, the mermans' seabed, and the legendary location all have things that we fear."

"But fear is not dread. We have the absolute power to defeat any of them."

“And they will never unite.”

After hearing this, Carsent completely understood what the Five Elders meant by the basis for ruling the world, and he also admired their political wisdom in his heart.

"The last question is, what is the purpose of our rule?"

"Or, based on the existing foundation, how should our world government develop?"

In response to this question, the Five Elders looked at each other with some surprise on their faces.

Obviously they haven't thought about this issue carefully.

“Checks and balances bring stability, but they hinder development.”

"Concentrating power will allow the world government to achieve unprecedented development in the past 800 years, but it will also bring the risk of collapse."

"So five grandfathers, how do you choose?"

Hearing this question, Sartan sighed and added

"Only a few strong people have the power to travel across space, but those few people have little effect on the development of the world government."

"Further development of this planet will inevitably lead to a rapid advancement in basic science, which will bring instability to the rule. Do you understand?"

There was no doubt that Sartain no longer saw Carsente as a six-year-old child, but as a politician with whom he spoke on an equal footing.

Carson nodded, understanding what Sartan meant.

Although this is a world where the strong intimidate one side, it is not a world where all levels of life are equal like in a purely technological civilization.

This is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the rule.

But the problem is that this power cannot be monopolized, and ordinary people can also gain power through devil fruits through training and luck.

Once grassroots science is improved, awakened ideas will inevitably spread widely among the grassroots, and those grassroots people who have gained power will begin to rebel against the government.

The rule will inevitably move towards turmoil and chaos, bringing about deeper problems.

"This is exactly the dilemma of our world government. There is no way out, and we dare not take the way out even if there is one. So we can only passively maintain everything we have now and resist the impact of the tide of the times."

Carson said he could understand the explanation of the Five Elders, after all, the economic base determines the superstructure. The fundamental purpose of the World Government is to maintain the rule of the Celestial Dragons, and only on this basis can we talk about the development of the world.

If development must be based on breaking the rule, then the world government would rather leave this ocean unchanged.

"I understand, but is there really nothing we can do?"

Carsent racked his brains, trying to find a solution that would have the best of both worlds.

"Have"

"Absolute faith will shrink the gaps between the other classes. When someone dominates the world with absolute strength, the other classes will begin to merge with each other, but the prerequisite is that this person must be a celestial dragon."

“We tried, and we failed,” Sartain said.

"Then little Carson, tell me, are you willing to try to take on this responsibility?"

Become a unique and strong person?

Carsent couldn't help but think that ruling the entire ocean with absolute strength sounded simply amazing.

It's a rare opportunity to travel through time, so shouldn't I make a career? Since I've traveled through time and space and become a celestial dragon, what's the point of just eating and waiting to die?

“I’m willing to accept”

The confident voice will be among the rights!
