BXBX NOVEL Chapter 696
He had also tried a little hard for this kind of thing. The Shichibukai system cannot disappear is the idea of the old navy, including Kuro himself.
But the candidate can be changed.
As long as he doesn’t get involved, the contents of the World Conference are still unknown.
What is a World Conference?
The official answer is that the rulers of the participating countries and the World Government held a rally in Mary Joa to discuss major political events issued by the world. It is held once every four years, and not all the participating countries are eligible. Among nearly 200 participating countries, only 50 are eligible.
These 50 people are the ‘strong countries’ of the World Government.
The official answer is a gathering, but in private, it is a place to wrangle and look for benefits.
Joining countries are not all peaceful. The big countries lead the small countries and charge there with their own interests. They just continue to fight for their interests in a different way.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with their Marines.
But one thing is certain, the addition of Fishman Island will trigger a new wave.
The reason for the existence of the Revolutionary Army is not the so-called corruption of the World Government. In terms of moral integrity, the World Government has done a good job. The only place that is criticized is Tenryubito.
From the beginning to the end, the Revolutionary Army opposed the existence of tenryubito, an existence more privileged than privilege, and slavery.
And slavery is the official privilege of tenryubito.
As for how many non-Heavenly Dragon people have slaves in private, I don’t know.
He had killed many so-called slaves in Sabaody Archipelago.
If the Fishman Island wants to migrate to the mainland, they have to first abolish the privileges of tenryubito.
On the surface, the World Government abolished slavery, but only the power of tenryubito remains. Or rather, all the laws in the world do not work on tenryubito.
They are the Outlaws, each of them is Zhang San.
Neptune wants to show the will of the Fishman Island migration to the world, which means that the World Government has to make a compromise.
Otherwise, once Fishman Island moves, they will face endless slave traders.
It has to be known that when Kuro was in Sabaody, he obtained a blatant auction list from an auction house.
It said ‘human trafficking’.
Introduced as ‘Sales Target: Criminal and Non-World Conquest Member States’.
That was true, but whether it was true or not was not something that could be done with a single mouth.
There was a sum on it.
The auction price of humans is above 500,000 Berries.
The Little Human Clan, Fur Tribe, Long-handed Tribe, and Long-legged Tribe all have more than 700,000 Berries.
Murlocs are above a million Berries.
There are even giants.
The giants have more than 50 million Berries for males and more than 10 million Berries for females.
But it was basically invisible in the auction house.
This thing cannot be caught by slavers.
And the merfolk are very precious.
The auction price of a mermaid woman is above 70 million Berries!
Even mermaids with feet are more than 10 million Berries.
This is a female. If it is a male, it is only a million Berries.
As for ability users, this price depends on the price of the Devil Fruit, which is the so-called ‘time price’.
If he caught Law and sold him, it would definitely be more than five billion, probably more than ten billion.
9.5 billion is the price of the fruit and 500 million is his bounty.
If the Fishman Island wants to migrate, they must abolish the privileges of the Tenryubito slaves, but this is the contradiction.
If it was so easy to abolish, there would not be a Revolutionary Army.
The World Government would rather let the Revolutionary Army grow and let the kings of the participating countries change again and again than reduce the status of Tenryubito.
A Fishman Island… I’m afraid it can’t do such a thing.
“The threat is not enough, Neptune.”
Kuro muttered to himself, “You still don’t understand. If you compromise for peace, then peace and death…”
Why is there Shichibukai? Of course, it is because there are too many pirates and it is too dangerous.
These people don’t think about peace, but peace will find them.
And peace will not be visited by those who want peace.
In the ancient and modern world, it is the same principle.
But this matter is not under their Marine’s jurisdiction. This is a political game.
They, Marines, don’t want to do these things.
“But I’m so tired. Old man, old…”
Kuro walked into Kizaru’s office and found that he wasn’t there. He took the opportunity to sit on the chair under the “Ambiguous Justice” plaque and lay there. He opened the drawer, took out the tea bag and slowly made tea for himself.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Where did this old man go?”
“Vice Admiral Kim Jong-un.”
Suddenly, a Marine Captain came in and saluted Kuro and said, “Admiral Kizaru is out on a mission.”
“Oh? He knows how to go on missions. It’s really rare. I always thought he only knows how to cut nails and drink tea.”
Kuro put down his teacup and said, “Okay, I’ll leave first. When the old man comes back, tell him that I came.”
“Well… Vice-Admiral, I have something to trouble you with.”
The colonel blocked the door and took out a document. “The general is not here, so I can only trouble you. Regarding the discovery of traces of the Revolutionary Army somewhere, the government wants to confirm it. If it is true, please arrest the Revolutionary Army…”
“Whose side are you on?” Kuro interrupted the colonel and asked.
“Ah?” The Colonel was stunned and did not understand what Kuro meant.
Kuro took a sip of tea and asked, “Let me ask you, is that skin on your body Marine or World Government?”
“Sea, Marine.”
“What is Marine’s duty?” Kuro continued.
“To maintain world peace.”
“How specific?”
“Specific…” The colonel was a little stunned.
“Specifically, to fight pirates and protect civilians.”
Kuro said, “Other than that, don’t care about what you shouldn’t care about. I don’t care what connection you have with the World Government, but you have to remember that you are a Marine, not the World Government. The Revolutionary Army has a CP organization in charge, and we don’t interfere. The Revolutionary Army has nothing to do with us. This document you took…”
Kuro waved his hand and the document flew out of the colonel’s hand and landed in his hand.
“It’s even issued by a CP organization under the World Government. So what? So what if it’s CP? Don’t you know that I hate government officials and CPs the most?”
Kuro glanced at the document and waved his hand. The document flew and scattered on the ground.
“Marshal and Admiral are responsible for communicating with the World Government. Other than that, any orders have nothing to do with us.”
Kuro glanced at the colonel and said, “The old man is easy to talk to, but I am not. Unless Gorōsei personally orders it, other things have nothing to do with us.
Don’t think about some crooked things. If you have nothing to do, train and improve yourself. This sea is getting more and more turbulent. If you shouldn’t care about it, then don’t care about it.”
