Chapter 210: Land of Sin, Divine Punishment

Chapter 210: Land of Sin, Divine Punishment

This situation is the norm in the pirate world. A few countries are unwilling to join the World Government, but more countries are unable to join because they are too poor to pay the "Heavenly Gold".

Not handing over the 'Gold from Heaven' is disrespectful to the Celestial Dragons, and disrespecting the Celestial Dragons is a sin, so to sum it up: being poor is a sin!

Rather than protecting such countries, the world government will join in plundering these countries.

Even the world government has declared these countries lawless and plundered and exploited them at will, so don't expect others to have any sympathy for them.

The situation of all non-World Government member countries is basically the same, and they have become slaughterhouses for the entire world.

Moreover, even if such a country is destroyed, no one will stand up and speak out, so many non-governmental member states will eventually become "lawless islands" where pirates and human traffickers are rampant.

At the beginning, G1's Stanway was unwilling to help Don Lillard to repel the pirates of Fengdao, and was also unwilling to let him go on his own. Although there was an element of revenge, it was actually not against the rules at all.

If it was just because of this incident, Stanway would not be punished.

Since Toyoshima is a non-member country of the World Government, you deserve to be attacked by pirates. It's your bad luck that you were destroyed.

More than 70% of the world's pirates and villains come from these countries.

Their country has been destroyed, they have nowhere to go, and they are filled with tremendous hatred. What good can we expect them to do?

For example, the hometown of the famous White Beard is among them.

The World Government naturally knew about the Flower Kingdom's invasion of non-governmental member states, but they never made any statement from beginning to end.

In this war, the Flower Kingdom's Erbao navy was particularly active, constantly plundering the country's population, supplies and treasures.

Although the Erbao Navy is called the Navy, it is actually the official pirate force of the Flower Kingdom. It sounds incredible, but in the final analysis, it is all because of the interests and the personal ambitions of the King of the Flower Kingdom.

Moreover, there is more than one pirate force like this in the Flower Kingdom, just like the four great bandits supported by Tule of the Itachisia Kingdom.

Of course, the face-saving project still needs to be done, so the Flower Kingdom does not acknowledge this on the surface.

But privately, each navy has its own territory in the Flower Kingdom and can live freely in the Flower Kingdom.

Moreover, these naval forces have to hand over a considerable amount of wealth to the Flower Kingdom every year, and the rest is theirs, so the Flower Kingdom can be said to be extremely rich.

However, the country invaded by the Flower Country did not sit idly by, but purchased a large amount of arms from the underground world to resist the attack of Wano Country, so the war lasted for a year and a half.

But war always has an end. Half a year ago, when the war was about to end, two people suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The two men claimed to be from the Divine Punishment Organization. One was about two meters tall and wore a crescent mask, and the other was ten meters tall, extremely strong, and wore a white tiger mask.

Moreover, both of them were wearing white hooded cloaks with the words "Divine Punishment" written on the back of the cloak, and "Crescent Moon" and "White Tiger" written on the left chest respectively.

'Crescent' is Tara's code name, because his rebel base was originally located in the Crescent Forest of the Rafia Kingdom.

'White Tiger' is naturally the code name for the White Tiger King who transformed into a human form in the Carlson Jungle.

As soon as the two appeared, they began to help non-member countries resist the invasion of the Flower Kingdom without any explanation, and quickly wiped out Erbao's navy that landed on the island at that time.

The Flower Kingdom was furious and sent several fleets in succession to try to get back at its enemies, but all the people they sent were wiped out. In the end, the Flower Kingdom suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to withdraw its troops.

The worst hit among them were the Flower Kingdom's Erbao Navy. Not only did they lose two-thirds of their elite troops, but the wealth accumulated by more than a dozen generations over hundreds of years also disappeared overnight.

However, no one knew about this matter except Erbao’s navy, and all this happened was not reported in the newspaper.

But in the next six months, divine punishment appeared in the East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea, North China Sea, as well as the Grand Line and the New World, and the frequency of its appearance was quite high.

Divine punishment has helped some countries and regions resist the invasion of evil forces, and has helped some villages and towns drive away or eliminate bullies who were causing trouble in the local area.

He has wiped out many evil pirate groups, helped some regions eliminate bandits that were causing trouble in the area, and prevented two wars.

He even took the initiative to help the navy capture some wanted criminals.

Moreover, the Divine Punishment helps others regardless of region. They will appear wherever there is help, regardless of whether the country is a member of the World Government or not.

In a word, God’s punishment will take care of what the navy is in charge of, and God’s punishment will also take care of what the navy is not in charge of.

Many people who have been helped by Divine Punishment are grateful to it and believe that it is more just than the navy.

Those who knew about Divine Punishment had developed a great curiosity about this organization and began to speculate about its origins and purpose.

But according to the members of Divine Punishment themselves, they are just a small mutual aid group among the people.

The purpose of the formation is to help each other when each other's hometown is hit by a disaster. The members of the Divine Punishment are just righteous people from all walks of life.

The reason why they wear masks and cloaks to hide their identities is simply to prevent others from taking revenge on their hometown and relatives after their identities are leaked.

This is what God’s punishment said to the outside world. As for whether others believe it or not, they believe it anyway.

However, the current influence of Divine Punishment is only in a very small part of the world, because nothing Divine Punishment does has ever been reported in the newspapers.

After all, things like suppressing bandits and driving out bullies are basically only known by the locals, and the outside world has no way of knowing.

As for exterminating pirates, many places are doing this even without divine punishment.

Even the security forces of some countries did no worse than the divine punishment, which did not attract much attention at all. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the divine punishment was nothing more than a minor incident.

As for catching a few wanted criminals, not to mention that many bounty hunters are also doing it.

As for the failed invasion of the Flower Kingdom, the Flower Kingdom was too embarrassed to say that they were defeated by only two people punished by God, as it would affect their status too much.

The World Government and the Navy have also heard about some things about God's Punishment, but at present they do not take it seriously.

There have been countless small folk mutual aid groups like this all over the world in the past eight hundred years. Although the divine punishment is mysterious, it is just that in the eyes of the world government.

The World Government has to deal with countless troubles every day, and there are so many important things happening around the world, so as long as this group does not do anything that is detrimental to the interests of the World Government, no one will care.

Luke, who has access to some intelligence about the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, is happy to see the Divine Punishment happen. It would be best if he did not pay attention to it, as this would give the Divine Punishment more time to develop.
