Chapter 220 Active people! A gradually turbulent world!
Marijoa, the World Conference has officially begun.
In a wide conference room, more than 40 kings who were invited by the World Government are speaking freely.
They sit around a wide circular table, speaking, debating, and even arguing fiercely.
The World Conference usually lasts for a few days, after all, there are too many things for the kings to discuss.
Summarize the matters of the previous four years and look at the trends of the next four years.
There are also various issues raised by the government and the issues raised by the kings themselves.
These are all things that the kings need to discuss.
Neptune sat in the chair specially prepared for him and just felt a little funny.
Everyone present is a king who shoulders the burden of a country, but now they are arguing like aunties buying vegetables in the market.
What is being discussed now is about the Revolutionary Army.
Officials of the World Government revealed to the kings the previous attack on Mary Geoise by the Revolutionary Army, of course, with some secondary creation.
In the mouth of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow all the member states and dominate the world.
So they called on all the member states to stand up against the Revolutionary Army.
People should provide people, and money should provide money.
Even those who have no people and no money should contribute to public opinion.
It looks high-sounding, but many member states don’t buy it.
After all, although all member states of the World Government have armies, they have basically outsourced national defense affairs to the navy.
No matter how big the threat of the Revolutionary Army is, it is the navy and the task of the World Government to fight them, and they should not be asked to spend more money.
The pressure of Tianshangjin every year is already very great.
However, the World Government is not a pushover. There are still many kings who stand up and say that the current situation is not easy, the pirates of the New World are now unprecedentedly powerful, and the member states should think more about the World Government.
Such remarks immediately made the other kings furious.
The two sides quarreled fiercely.
Neptune looked quite happy.
But he did not forget the main business.
He was sure that not all the kings of the member states obeyed the World Government.
Or on the contrary, most of the kings were very disgusted with the government’s interference in them.
Among these kings, many had no loyalty to the government. The reason why they were the kings of the member states was only because only the World Government could protect them in this chaotic world.
Among them, there are definitely people who hate the World Government.
My idea is definitely possible to succeed.
The discussion about the Revolutionary Army was finally passed.
After a halftime break, several people present and many kings who participated in the meeting remotely suddenly turned against the proposal and directly pushed the proposal through.
Everyone who is not a fool knows what happened during the break, but no one dared to say anything.
After the proposal was passed, it was free proposal time. The kings could freely put forward their own suggestions, which could be implemented after the kings discussed and passed them.
Neptune didn’t have anything to propose. What he wanted to do could never be discussed on the table.
At this time, a man stood up.
The king from Prodians, Elizabero II, slammed the table and said, “I hope the World Government will give me an explanation!”
King Riku, who was sitting next to him, sighed helplessly.
“Oh? I wonder what happened, His Majesty Elizabello II, and what kind of explanation does the government want you to give?”
The government official in charge of presiding over the meeting said with interest.
”The World Government sent people to forcibly snatch the training method of my family heirloom sword King’s Fist from me!”
Ilizabello was so angry when he mentioned this matter, and said angrily, “What’s the difference between this behavior and pirates?”
It’s okay for that bastard Ian to snatch it, but the World Government also came to snatch it? I don’t want face! But at that time, facing the threat of the World Government, he had no way to do anything, and it was not until now that he was ready to come to the World Conference to seek justice for himself!After hearing his words, the faces of the many kings present changed slightly.
The World Government is forbidden to interfere in the internal affairs of member states. This is an iron rule that has been established since the establishment of the World Government, in order to prevent the World Government from turning all member states into puppets.
This is indeed not interfering in internal affairs, but directly robbing.
However, the government official said calmly, “Your Majesty Elizabello, you should know the power of your family’s trick. Ian, one of the Four Emperors, defeated the Great Pirate King with this trick learned from you and occupied the Beehive Island. Vice Admiral Sakaski of the Navy and Chief Instructor Zefa also suffered from this trick.”
”We are very tolerant by not pursuing the crime of helping pirates. This trick is only imposed to deal with Ian.”
Ilizabello said angrily, “I was coerced by Ian! Do you still expect me to defeat him? But I don’t know that the World Government acts like pirates!”
The kings were silent.
The government official simply said, “In this case, let the kings vote. If the majority of kings agree with His Majesty Elizabello’s proposal, how about accepting his proposal?”
Elizabello gritted his teeth slightly. How could I possibly win this damn vote?
But he didn’t even have time to say anything, the kings had already started voting.
The final result was of course.
The government official smiled at Elizabello II, “It’s a pity, Your Majesty Elizabello, it seems that most of the majesties think your proposal is insignificant, so let’s start a new proposal next.”
Elizabello sat down in anger.
But there was nothing he could do.
You can’t just accumulate strength and then send a king’s fist of one million horsepower towards Pangu City, right?
The meeting ended.
Elizabello II and King Riku left together.
“I’ve already said it,” said the much older King Riku earnestly, “The World Government is used to being overbearing, how could it possibly give in to us?”
In the past eight hundred years, when have you not been asked to pay the Heavenly Gold, and when you are asked to raise the tax rate, you have to raise it?
”Damn it!”
Ilizabello gritted his teeth.
The World Government, which is based on the member states, is riding on the heads of all the member states!
But such words can only be thought of in the heart, how dare they say them out loud?
”Your Majesty Elizabello! Your Majesty King Riku!”
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
The two turned back at the same time and saw Neptune and his wife coming together.
King Riku and Elizabero both subconsciously smiled friendly. Elizabero seemed to have forgotten his previous anger and said jokingly, “King Neptune and Princess Otohime, you two are really in love. You are so close to each other again after the meeting.”
”Hahaha!”
Neptune scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, “I’m sorry to make you laugh.”
Then, he slightly restrained his smile and looked down at the two kings.
Both of them were kings introduced by Cobra.
They are both upright and benevolent monarchs like Cobra.
There is absolutely no discrimination against fishmen and mermaids, and they are also very friendly to Neptune and his wife.
”Can we chat, Your Majesties?”
Princess Otohime whispered. ”Chat?”
The two kings looked at each other, not knowing what she meant.
What is there to chat about?
Otohime said, “The power of the World Government is no longer under the control of us member states. No matter what they want to do to us, we are powerless to resist, just like His Majesty Elizabello today. The so-called World Conference is meaningless to them. Do you think this is good?”
Ilizabello II and King Riku were shocked at the same time.
It makes sense.
This woman’s words made them want to listen! ”So, I think we should do something.”
Otohime said seriously, “We should unite and form an alliance to fight against the authority of the World Government!”
The two kings were shocked again.
It makes so much sense! In the central area of this huge building, between power.
The Five Elders gathered together.
”The proposal to jointly attack the Revolutionary Army has been passed,”
The bearded Maz said lightly”As expected, many kings opposed it, but it was passed after a little coercion and inducement.”
”As always, these member states are a mess.”
The bearded Sartan said indifferently, “But, that’s the best way. If the member states unite, there will be no need for a world government.”
”Speaking of unity,”
Nasu Juro, who was holding a knife, pushed his glasses, “The Neptune couple has been very active these past two days. With Cobra’s introduction, they have met many kings. ”
”Cobra?”
Satan snorted, “The Nefertaluri family is still as ignorant as it was eight hundred years ago, and now they have started to make friends with fish.”
”Speaking of Fishman Island, what should Ian do?”
The voice of Peter in the red suit suddenly turned cold, “Dare to threaten us, no one has ever dared to do so, not even Rocks back then.”
Being threatened by a pirate, and they were powerless, when have the Five Elders ever been so angry?
”Ian?”
Nasujuro thought for a while, “We can’t ignore him anymore. In a few years at most, he will defeat Kaido and completely integrate the Beast Pirates, right? By then, with the power of Shuhe Country and Beehive Island, who in the New World can resist him?”
”That guy will become the second Rocks! Even the second Roger.”
The other Five Elders nodded secretly.
They would not allow the second Rocks to dominate the New World, not to mention the second Pirate King.
”Let’s deal with him after we deal with the Revolutionary Army.”
The bald-headed Vouchuri, who had the Five Elder Stars’ position, spoke slowly, “We really can’t delay any longer.”
”Speaking of the Revolutionary Army,”
Maz said, “An uprising broke out in a non-member country in the East China Sea, but it is not known whether it is related to the Revolutionary Army.”
”Let’s check it out. It’s not a solution for them to keep shrinking.”
”By the way, there is one more thing. It’s time to find someone to fill the vacant position of the Seven Warlords.”
East China Sea, Kingdom of Biff.
This country is a non-governmental member country. Like all non-member countries, this country is equally poor and backward, and is also ignored by the world. It is quietly rotting and stinking in a corner that no one can see.
But today, this small country that no one cares about has erupted in a massive uprising.
The first shots were fired by the fishermen in the country.
The increasingly cruel exploitation of the king and nobles had already left the people with no place to live.
The fishery tax promulgated some time ago made the fishermen who braved the storm to beg for food on the sea almost desperate.
All the fish caught had to pay 70% tax when they returned to the port.
The fishermen who could no longer bear it killed the tax collector at the port, and then attacked the city hall.
Almost as soon as the news spread, the whole country responded, and the whole country was instantly in flames.
The army sent by the king to quell the rebellion mutinied as soon as they left the capital, and broke through the gate of the capital.
It only took three days for the palace to fall, and the king’s family was hanged at the gate of the palace. All the nobles and wealthy merchants could not escape.
But this uprising had nothing to do with the revolutionary army.
Are you kidding? The Revolutionary Army has been chased like a dead dog by the World Government for a while. How can they have the energy to do other things?
They have already retreated across the board to avoid this storm.
Drag saw this news in the newspaper.
“The power of the people is so great.”
Doragu couldn’t help but sigh, “No matter it is a cruel monarch or a greedy noble, they are nothing in front of this power.”
”Now is not the time to repeat the old tune,”
The second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, Ivankov, said unhappily, “The World Conference is about to end, and the government and the navy will soon focus on us. Let’s think about what to do next.”
Doragu just stared at the newspaper, “The newspaper said that after the overthrow of the king, the chaos still did not stop, and the rebel leaders who took control of the military started a civil war.”
”At first it was just a just uprising to overthrow tyranny, but under the power struggle of the top leaders, it soon turned into an unbearable civil war.”
”Hasn’t this kind of thing been known for a long time?”
Ivankov rolled his eyes, “The power of the people is the greatest, but the power of the peopleIt is also the easiest to be exploited. ”
”That’s why we are needed.”
”Yes, that’s why we are needed.”
Drag took a deep breath, “I have an idea, Ivan, the best way to protect a drop of water is to hide it in the sea.”
”Let’s hide among the people.”
”Disperse all members to various countries that need us. Under the current circumstances, we certainly cannot launch an uprising, but at least we can tell the people what they can do.”
”Good idea!”
Ivankov’s eyes lit up.
Breaking up the whole into pieces is indeed the best way to hide.
And the loyalty of their revolutionary soldiers is beyond doubt.
Everyone is a brave warrior fighting for a better tomorrow! Dressrosa.
”Oh! What an amazing ability. ”
Doflamingo looked at the tin doll running in panic in front of him and couldn’t help but admire, “I really can’t remember him at all. Whether it’s his appearance, his name, or his identity, hey, hey,”
He looked down at the doll and said playfully, “Are you my enemy or my friend?”
The doll just stepped back in fear.
”Hey, hey, hey, hey!”
Doflamingo laughed out loud, he leaned down happily and stroked the head of the little girl beside him, “Well done, you did a good job! Sugar.”
The little girl just stuffed grapes into her mouth silently, squeezing both cheeks bulging.
”Now, this country will finally return to its owner’s hands!”
