Chapter 142 Unknown Trump Card

"Is there really hope?"

"It's not like we're going to start an uprising now. What are we afraid of? There are still a few years to go! If you're not worried, you can take a look at the changes in the wind direction during this period. You will find that the ship of the old era is slowly sinking. Now, a new era is coming soon."

"Boy, stop fooling people and tell the truth."

Zefa glared at Eleus with dissatisfaction.

Without thinking for too long, Zefa chose to stand with Elus and fight against the tyranny of the World Government.

correct,

What he can't stand is the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. He doesn't have any hostility towards the navy... Having already paid his dues, he no longer had much concern in his heart. The elderly man finally accepted Elus's threatening invitation.

But the old man also put forward a lot of conditions.

For example, if you are lucky enough to overthrow the World Government and the rule of the Celestial Dragons, a new World Government will definitely appear, but no matter how hard Elus tries, the Navy must be maintained and must not be allowed to disappear into the sea.

When he said this, Zefa felt that he was really losing his mind and going crazy. Such idiotic words would come out of his mouth one day.

In this regard,

Elus can also accept it.

Although he was not satisfied with the "shit luck", "what if", "if you really got lucky" and other qualifying statements in Zefa's mouth, he recognized that Zefa's emphasis on the navy was necessary. Without the navy to suppress the sea, it is unimaginable what chaos the world would be in.

Maybe in the future he will go to war with the navy with open arms, but the navy... is a combat force that can be recruited.

Or,

He went to such great lengths to invite Zefa just to pave the way for recruiting the behemoth of the Navy.

The matter on Black Thorn Flower Island has been settled, and the group is on their way back home.

With nothing to do, Zefa and Eleus were sitting in the reception area of ​​the flagship bridge, drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth...Whitebeard is already very old!"

Elus was holding a chess piece, thinking about where to move it, while distractedly chatting with Zefa, "I have dealings with the Whitebeard Pirates. Recently, the Whitebeard Pirates have purchased medicinal materials. There are more of them again. There is not much change in quantity, but there are more types. The phoenix has not been seen for a long time. It is said that he has been staying on the ship to develop new medicines and take care of Whitebeard's body..."

"Of course there will be no problem with Whitebeard's physical condition for another three to five years, but the longer time passes, the older Whitebeard gets, and his minions are getting dull little by little. Sooner or later, those dormant tigers and leopards will Will jump out and cause trouble."

It's also interesting to say.

Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, the number of disputes on the sea has indeed doubled than before, and the number of pirates has increased tenfold. But the interesting thing is that no matter how the number of pirates increases, it is interesting. , how exhausted the navy is in suppressing the world...

The four emperors have always stayed in the new world.

Perhaps the forces under his command have never given up on extending outward, but on the surface, after expelling most of the navy's forces from the New World, there has been no major war between the navy and the four emperors. The beasts went crazy and attacked the navy alone. This is His own affairs did not lead the pirates and the navy to open fire.

Even the two remaining naval branches in the new world, G1 and G5, have been well preserved and have not been taken away casually.

It is understandable that the G1 branch is backed by the Red Earth Continent and it is difficult to start, but even the G5 branch is well preserved, which only shows that the Yonko really has no intention of breaking out of the New World to compete with the Navy and the World Government. As for why?

Many people may not believe it.

But this is the fact. Whitebeard is the reason why the navy and the four emperors are distinct and non-aggressive.

Among the four pirate emperors, not to mention the red-haired one who is the least powerful and has always been secretive, the two pirate emperors, Baijuju and Big Mom, are ambitious fanatics, and their ambitions are so broad. Launching "the world's top war", one wants to build an ideal paradise where all races can live together...

Their ambitions are undoubtedly world-class.

The beasts have occupied the Kingdom of Wano, collecting animal devil fruits, working hard to create an army composed entirely of ability users, and constantly trying to recruit the samurai of the Kingdom of Wano; Big Mom keeps giving birth to children and training them. Children came out one after another who inherited her monster blood, and at the same time, they also gathered available combat power through marriage.

Just looking at their actions, it is enough to see that they are not satisfied with being the king of the new world, they want more.

The reason why there has been no action for so many years is because he is afraid of Whitebeard's existence. Although Whitebeard is also the pirate emperor like them, Kaido is even confident that he can defeat Whitebeard in a duel, but Whitebeard has the upper hand. destructive power above them.

As the original members of the Rocks Pirates, they know very well how terrifying the Shock Fruit that Whitebeard has developed to its extreme is. It is really powerful enough to destroy the world. In its heyday, it threatened the World Government to destroy the Red Earth Continent. This forced the Navy to slow down its campaign against the Whitebeard Pirates.

In other words, Whitebeard has the ability to 'turn the table'. No matter how skilled everyone is at the card table, facing Whitebeard who has mastered the magic weapon of turning the table, no one dares to really anger the old man. .

Otherwise, if the table is lifted, no one will be able to play!

As for bypassing the Whitebeard Pirates and starting a war with the World Government... I don't worry! Whitebeard is still a pirate after all, and no one would be able to bear it if he stabbed them in the back.

Fortunately, Whitebeard, who has the ability to lift tables, does not have much ambition. His wish is to stay with his family. Otherwise, the World Government will definitely destroy Whitebeard at all costs. However, after discovering that Whitebeard does not have much ambition, After that, the World Government also gave up its intention to destroy Whitebeard at all costs.

Even if the World Government has the ability to kill Whitebeard in his heyday, the price paid is definitely something the World Government is not willing to bear. The ability to shake fruits means that Whitebeard's destructive power is unparalleled in the world, no matter how powerful other top masters are. That is to destroy one or two islands.

And Whitebeard threatened to collapse the Red Earth Continent.

But no one dared not believe it.

Therefore, the World Government and Navy will not provoke Whitebeard unless it is absolutely necessary, or if there is no complete way to limit Whitebeard's destructive power. Small fights at the bottom are inevitable, but at a higher level There will be absolutely no conflict.

Now everyone is waiting for Whitebeard to die.

Only when Whitebeard truly dies is it time for a new world to change.

Anyway, Whitebeard is very old. Although he is of the same generation, Whitebeard is five or six years older than Kaido and Big Mom. At this age, even a year or two is a huge gap. The difference is, five or six years... The Whitebeard of five or six years ago can definitely beat the Whitebeard of five or six years later.

In addition, both Big Mom and Beasts have their own health-preserving skills. They are confident that they can still maintain their peak combat power after surviving Whitebeard, and it will not be too late to implement their plan at that time.

"... Mr. Zefa, whether you admit it or not, Whitebeard is the safety valve between the Navy and the Four Emperors. As long as he is alive, the current order will not be in chaos, but when Whitebeard falls Next, the safety valve loses its function and the accumulated pressure disappears. By then... you can imagine what the world will look like without me telling you, right?"

The chess piece that Elus had been holding for a long time finally fell.

"White beard······"

Zefa moved his lips, but could not utter any retort after all.

Because Elus was right about what he said. As a former admiral of the navy, with his vision, he can naturally see through the layers of appearances and see the deepest essence. The power of Whitebeard is indeed exerted on the World Government and the rest of the sea. The restraining power of the thief emperors prevented both sides from moving casually, maintaining this delicate balance.

He grabbed a chess piece. If he hadn't paid attention to the chess game, he would have crushed the magnet-polished chess piece in his hand into pieces. "You are right, but... the world government is not It’s so easy to overturn, you have to keep this in mind, but don’t forget it.”

"Hmm... By the way, what kind of trump card does the World Government hold? What makes you so... afraid?" Elus couldn't help but be curious.

You must know that the Navy has always been full of people with a strong sense of justice. The justice upheld by the naval admirals may have different positions and different interpretations, but there is no doubt that they do adhere to unshakable justice in their hearts. However, over the past eight hundred years, However, the navy has always been controlled by the world government, sitting back and watching the Celestial Dragons, a group of garbage that has rotted to the core, sitting on the royal family of the world...

Mention this.

Zefa was silent for a moment.

Looking at Zefa who remained silent, Elvus did not press for further questions and patiently played with the smooth chess piece in his hand.

It took a while, about six or seven minutes.

Zefa dropped the almost crushed chess piece on the chessboard. He looked across the way and looked at Elwuss calmly, "I know you will ask this question sooner or later... But, no matter you Believe it or not, I don’t know what the World Government, or what those Celestial Dragons have to rely on.”

"Is it possible that... you don't know anything?"

"The Admiral is the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters, but it is only the Navy Headquarters. It is not the Admiral's turn to understand the trump cards and secrets of the World Government, but... to say that the Navy does not know anything, it is fair to say that the Navy does not know anything. Not so, six years ago, Marshal Sora was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the World Government’s military, and Sengoku succeeded him as Marshal of the Navy.”

"At that time, Sengoku and Marshal Kong went to the Holy Land. They stayed in the Holy Land for three days before returning to Marineland. Only three days passed. Sengoku... Sengoku suddenly changed. He was still a general. At that time, Ahe and I were discussing how to reform within the navy and how to resist the ridiculous orders of the World Government..."

Zefa spoke slowly, his eyes blank, his thoughts immersed in past memories.

"We thought so much before, just waiting for Seng Guo to become the marshal and work together to make the world a better place... As a result, Seng Guo, who came back from the Holy Land, never mentioned us again. For all the measures that were discussed, I approached him several times and asked him what was going on..."

Having said this, Zefa shook his head, his brows tightening at some point.

"Warring States didn't tell me too much in detail. He just told me that the garbage of the Tianlong people cannot be touched. Compared with blind reforms, peace can only be sustained by maintaining the existing order, even if it is now incomplete, fragmented, and bruised. of peace…”

"Later, I argued with him many times, and Warring States was once again very angry with me. He cursed and said that it was not that he was unwilling to do it, but that he could not do it... I really didn't know what the Tianlong people held. What kind of terrifying trump card does the Tianlong people have, but judging from the reaction of the Warring States Period, the Tianlong people’s trump card is absolutely terrifying."

Eleus listened quietly.

Three or four minutes passed after Zefa remained silent, and then he slowly said: "It's very interesting! A secret trump card that even the admiral is not qualified to know... However, this is not bad! The unknown secret can It gives people a sense of expectation, doesn't it? I'm looking forward to what kind of surprise the Tianlong people will give me in the future."

"...I hope your miracle can withstand the Celestial Dragons' trump card."

This is the second time Zefa has seen a miracle.

And unlike the last time when his illness was cured, a miracle happened to Farooq this time. Farooq, who could only be regarded as a major general in the navy, broke through to the level of lieutenant general in an instant, and even if Among the vice admirals of the navy, he also belongs to the upper class.

In just a moment,

A chicken turns into a phoenix.

Regardless of the fact that there is only one step between the lieutenant general and the rear admiral, the problem is that this one step gap has blocked many people. The ratio between the lieutenant general and the rear admiral in the Navy Headquarters is almost one to twenty. How many old and young generals have wasted their whole lives to stand up. He has made countless contributions, but if his strength cannot reach that level, he can only look back and sigh. He will not be promoted to lieutenant general with honors until he retires.

It was precisely after seeing this miraculous scene and thinking about the young but strong and unreasonable subordinates around Eleus that Zefa gained some confidence and stood with Eleus. The opposite of the world government is not just a matter of life.

Miracle,

Maybe it just happened?
