Chapter 145 Four Emperors!
After getting the Pluto design, Xiao suddenly realized that he had forgotten the members of the Blackbeard Pirates who were trapped in the cell!
These are his important chess pieces. To provoke a larger-scale war, he still has to rely on these people.
Judging from the current world situation, although the trend of rebellion has emerged, its fundamental strength is still insufficient.
Although there seem to be many people who raise the flag of rebellion now, these people are as insignificant as moss, and at most they are just some small fights.
In this wave of resistance, there are few top figures who can carry the banner.
Once the world government is serious, all rebels will fall under the iron hoof of the admiral of the navy.
But this is also unavoidable. The center of the stage in this world has never belonged to civilians and the revolutionary army.
In the world of One Piece, pirates and the world government are the real existences that dominate this world.
Among them, the navy and pirates are the strongest camps that gather many powerful forces.
Other forces are not even enough to carry shoes in front of these two giants. The world of One Piece is a world where only high-end combat power can determine victory or defeat. No matter how many soldiers there are, they are just cannon fodder.
If you want to really disrupt the world, you can only pull the pirates down. Only by relying on the power of pirates can you deal with the world government that has deployed all its strength.
However, it is not easy to involve pirates in this chaos.
In recent years, with the intentional or unintentional joint efforts of the world government and the Four Emperors of Pirates, the whole world has shown a trend of stable development, and the possibility of a large-scale war has become extremely low.
The culprit for this situation is undoubtedly the Four Emperors. Rather than calling them "Pirate Emperors", it is more appropriate to say that the Four Emperors are four losers.
The existence of the Four Emperors is not accidental, but comes from their difficulty in winning the battle for the throne of One Piece, and they cannot join hands to fight against the navy.
As a result, these four people with strong strength and influence can only confront each other in the New World and fall into a stalemate.
Faced with such a situation, people have no choice but to give them this title.
What's more interesting is that although these people are honored as "Sea Emperors", and their status seems to be extremely respected, in fact, it is an obvious flattery and full of irony.
The person who came up with the title of the Four Emperors was definitely a talent.
A group of people who are not qualified to be kings are given the title of emperors. Is this a compliment or criticism?
You taste it, you taste it carefully~
Most pirates target the Four Emperors and want to defeat the Four Emperors to become the next Pirate Emperor.
It can only be said that they are uneducated. You can't even hear others mocking you.
As for why the Four Emperors are regarded as losers, the most fundamental reason is that most of them have given up the dream of pursuing the Pirate King.
When sailing on the Grand Line, the traditional compass is completely useless.
Due to the unique magnetic field interference of the Grand Line, the crew can only rely on recording pointers to determine the direction.
This pointer can collect the magnetism of an island and reach the next island with the help of the magnetic connection between islands.
At first, in the first half of the Grand Line, this navigation method can still work, and it usually takes only a few days to complete the collection of the magnetism of an island.
However, once they enter the New World, the situation becomes very different.
At this time, it may take months or even years to successfully collect the magnetism of an island.
Once, the pirates embarked on a journey full of dangers and unknowns with their longing and desire for the legendary [ONE PIECE], but as time passed and the years changed, the goal that was once within reach became more and more distant.
Because they could not find the direction and route for a long time, coupled with the layers of suppression from the World Government, they had to curl up on the Grand Line and fall into endless difficulties.
In such a difficult situation, the pirates began to spontaneously break out in civil war. Only by occupying more territory can they survive.
The second half of the entire Grand Line became a bloody and cruel battlefield, where countless pirates fought and fought in a melee, as if they were in a huge meat grinder.
After a series of fierce battles, only the four most powerful pirate groups survived and stood out as the final winners of this melee-the "Four Emperors" were born!
These four pirate groups are evenly matched, and they have experienced countless fierce battles with each other, but it is still difficult to tell who is better.
As a result, the four sea overlords began to rely on their extraordinary military strength and the huge pirate forces that are in full swing, and recruited new pirates from all corners of the world who have long coveted [ONE·PIECE].
In this way, not only the strength of the four emperors themselves is further consolidated and strengthened, but also it is more difficult for other opponents to shake their position.
As time goes by, the mentality of the four emperors has gradually changed.
The "four emperors" who were once powerful and arrogant have also chosen to lie down completely.
At first, perhaps they really wanted to become the Pirate King and dominate the entire ocean;
However, as their power grew and their status became more stable, they began to turn their attention to power struggles and interests.
They no longer fight and fight for hegemony like in the past, but each of them lives and works in peace and contentment, and lives a peaceful life in their own territory.
As for the legendary "big secret treasure", although no one has given up looking for it, it seems that this is no longer the only goal they pursue.
Today's four emperors only need to send a fleet to continue moving forward, which will not affect their enjoyment of life, but also maintain the exploration and control of the great secret treasure.
More importantly, every time they arrive at a new place, they can create a magical prop called the "Eternal Pointer."
This kind of pointer has the unique property that it will only point to the magnetic field of the recorded island. No matter how the ship moves, its indication direction will always remain unchanged. Because of this, they are called "eternal pointers".
With these pointers, the four emperors can easily cross the vast sea and reach wherever they want to go.
Nowadays, the life of the Four Emperors is even more comfortable than that of the Pirate King back then.
What's more, even if he really becomes the Pirate King, what can he do?
The former Pirate King Goldo Roger could not escape his bad luck and was eventually executed and killed by the World Government.
In comparison, it is more carefree and happy to be the Four Emperors
Whether they can become the real Pirate King has become irrelevant to them. What they want more is stability.
Therefore, under the deliberate guidance of the World Government, the Four Emperors became the four evil dragons of the new world from the dragon slayers at the beginning.
