Chapter 347: Tightening Curse, the Truth of Cutting Leeks

Chapter 347: Tightening Curse, the Truth of Cutting Leeks

Lu Kai's main work this year has been threefold.

The first point is to keep an eye on the Bank restricted area and personally build a naval scientific force to protect and monitor the scientists. Any special situations that cannot be monitored must be reported to the Five Elders immediately.

The second point is to investigate many forces that suddenly emerged, including the Divine Punishment. Now the investigation of the Divine Punishment has basically been completed and has achieved good results, but many other forces still need to spend time investigating.

The third point is to continue investigating Sandra and everything related to Sandra, and to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons who leave Marijoa.

Apart from this, any tasks must be put aside first.

Of these three things, the first one involves the future military strength of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, the second one involves whether the world will be turbulent or not, and the third one is directly related to the Celestial Dragons.

Putting Lu Kai in charge of all three matters shows that they attach great importance to him and it also reflects the trust that the Five Elders and Zhan Guo have in him.

However, it also forced Lu Kai to leave the front line against pirates, and instead the three iron armies became famous in this year.

The First Iron Army runs around the world, the Second Iron Army guards the Grand Line, and the Third Iron Army guards the New World.

They went into battle on behalf of Luke, made a great name for themselves, demonstrated the navy's unparalleled might, and raised Luke's reputation once again.

The reason why the Five Elders would restrict Luke but not important combat forces such as Iron Army or Garp is that

The main reason is that Luke’s fruit ability is too convenient, and his efficiency in combating evil forces is so high that people of an entire era cannot hold their heads up.

This phenomenon is actually abnormal.

In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, there have been several admirals of the Marine Headquarters whose combat capabilities could be compared to Luquet's apparent strength.

However, a navy with such strength, such mobility, and such ruthlessness in fighting pirates and evil forces has never appeared in the past 800 years.

Just like Garp's strength, in fact, it is not much weaker than Luke's. However, his deterrent power and efficiency in fighting pirates cannot be compared with Luke's.

If Luke were really allowed to make a scene without hesitation, it might actually end the Great Pirate Era, making this era appear to be harmonious on the surface.

This is not impossible, but it is not a good thing for the Five Elders.

The world doesn't work that simply.

The nature of this world means that sailing will never end and pirates will never disappear.

At the same time, because of the Celestial Dragons' constant exploitation, oppression, and plunder of the world, as well as the distorted values ​​created under their influence, evil will never stop and will only continue.

Just as the Five Elders and Sengoku said, once Lukai is gone, the situation may rebound strongly, and then all the spearheads will be directed at the World Government and the Navy who have suppressed them for generations.

But whether it is Iron Army or Garp, although they are both extremely strong and can have a good deterrent effect, they cannot compare with Luke in terms of efficiency.

No matter how they make trouble, it is all within an acceptable range. After all, the world is too big.

Moreover, in order to maintain the balance of the world and make the world government appear just on the surface, the navy is ultimately needed to deter.

Lu Kai also had some free time. He remotely commanded the Divine Punishment and the Iron Army, while actively cooperating with the World Government and the Warring States to complete the tasks assigned by them.

Kazakia Island, Lu Kai was ordered here to investigate underground arms dealers.

This arms dealer sold arms on a large scale in various parts of the world, causing the ambitions of many countries that became militarily stronger in a short period of time to expand and triggering many wars that should not have happened.

At the same time, it also led to many wars that could have ended quickly becoming long-lasting wars of attrition and tug-of-war due to the supply of arms.

This is a typical case of profiting from war.

This underground arms dealer has actually existed for a long time, and the World Government knows about it, but has never taken any action. However, this arms dealer has now affected the interests of the Celestial Dragons.

Because they even instigated many member states of the World Government to go to war with each other, putting these countries in dire straits.

The Celestial Dragons do not care about the life and death of many countries, but the turmoil in the member states of the World Government means that they can no longer pay the Celestial Gold.

Even under the threat of national destruction, some countries used the heavenly gold that they were supposed to pay to purchase weapons and ammunition, which was unacceptable to the Celestial Dragons.

The gold from heaven is the money that the Celestial Dragons use to enjoy themselves. If these countries do not pay the gold from heaven, it means that the extravagance of the Celestial Dragons will decline. What will happen then?

And according to the intelligence of the World Government, this arms dealer has made a lot of money over the years, and it is time to reap the benefits.

This kind of harvest has always been an important source of money for the world government.

The little bit of money that each country pays to the World Government in addition to the Heavenly Gold is not enough to support the long-term operation of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

Especially for the navy, the annual military expenditure is an extremely large figure.

Therefore, the world government has turned a blind eye to the development and growth of many illegal organizations, criminal groups, and dark forces.

As long as you don't threaten my rule, we can even do business with each other.

However, the World Government will secretly investigate these forces. Once they have enough intelligence, and given that these forces are already big enough, they may just find a reason to deal with them.

Then the huge wealth accumulated by these forces over the years will naturally become the property of the world government.

Therefore, the World Government is the biggest bandit in the pirate world.

However, as the ruler of the world, the world government still has to maintain its basic dignity. In order to maintain the superficial stability of the world, it is not advisable to directly engage in plundering.

So they just let others plunder, and in the end they are the ones who are waiting for the oriole to come.

Not only can they make a fortune, but by sending the navy to crack down on these criminal groups, many uninformed people will be grateful to the World Government and believe that the World Government represents justice.

The world government has been using this tactic for 800 years, constantly cutting leeks from people all over the world.

Moreover, the world government has tampered with a lot of history, suppressed a lot of intelligence, deliberately covered up a lot of facts, and deliberately concealed them in the newspapers.

After all, whoever controls the world's public opinion hegemony can manipulate people's thinking and do whatever they want.

In addition, as generations around the world are constantly changing, many people have no idea what the world government really looks like.

The few who do know will be labeled evil and criminals, so that no one will believe what they say.

If someone who knows the truth poses a greater threat, they will be directly and secretly eliminated by the World Government, and even their existence will be ruthlessly erased.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to compare the world to a breeding farm for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. The navy is just a face for the World Government.

This face appears to maintain justice, but in reality it is to facilitate the world government to plunder the world's wealth and resources in a more long-term and stable manner.

This is the truth of the world.
