Chapter 726 Hypocrisy
...
"No, the most important thing is to find a way to stop this global live broadcast as soon as possible, right? That guy turned out to be a survivor of the Valley of the Gods! Then he might really know everything that happened in the Valley of the Gods! We can't let him continue talking!"
"If we could have stopped it, we would have stopped it long ago! We wouldn't have turned a public execution that showed the world the power of our world government into what it is now!"
"Marshal Sengoku! What a useless piece of shit! And Akainu, a great admiral of the navy was actually taken hostage by the enemy, he is simply a piece of shit among shits!!"
The Five Elders were so angry that they stamped their feet.
"As expected, we should cut the roots when doing things, and not leave any trouble for ourselves! We should have tried our best to kill all those people at that time!"
Saint Satan said in a cold tone.
As for the incident itself, they didn't think there was anything wrong with slaughtering a country for an entertainment event, because that country was rich in resources. However, if this matter was exposed, it would undoubtedly become a big stain on them! It would affect how they could continue to rule the untouchables on this sea.
"No! We need to shut that guy up right now! I'm going there myself!!"
The bearded Five Elder Star Marcus Maz Saint has transformed into a giant black bird and is ready to fly to Marinford immediately to personally command the navy to kill the damn young man in the picture!
"Calm down! Lord Yimu hasn't woken up yet, which means it's not the time for us to take action ourselves!"
The blond Five Elders touched his chin and spoke slowly.
"Perhaps all this has already been anticipated by Lord Yimu!"
The others also sat down again after hearing what was said. The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. They decided to stick their butts to the sofa and continue observing secretly.
...
Everyone in Marinford Square listened attentively to Captain Gill's story.
Gel started talking without hesitation, and began to tell the story of when he was a mid-level naval officer. One day 36 years ago, he was happy that his warship had received a mission to sail to the Valley of Gods in the West Sea, because the Valley of Gods was his hometown. However, what happened later was something he could never have imagined in his dreams.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah? ..."
Gel's voice was calm but extremely penetrating, making people feel as if there was endless suppressed anger in it. The voice was like a violent storm, sweeping across Marinford Square, across Shampoo and Blowing to all parts of the world.
"For entertainment purposes, those damned Celestial Dragons hold a 'Human Hunting' competition every three years. All humans in the hunting grounds are their prey, including the slaves they have released and the local people! Kill them all and see who kills the most. The winner will receive honor and rewards!"
"The World Government just happened to see that my hometown has rich resources and wanted to take it for themselves, so they decided to let the Celestial Dragons choose to play this cruel game in the Valley of the Gods. Once all the people on the island are slaughtered, they can naturally obtain the resources on the island..."
Chabaoti Archipelago
"Clap!"
The pen in the leading reporter's hand had fallen to the ground but he was completely unaware of it. He just stared at the big screen with his mouth wide open.
"Hey Hey hey!"
"Is what he said true? It's so, so scary!"
"Is this... really something a human being could do?"
"Celestial Dragon! Really...Ah!"
The civilians of Shabaodi were no strangers to the Celestial Dragons. This sounded very much in line with the style of the Celestial Dragons, so they naturally believed Gel's words.
"Oh! How pitiful!"
Many kind-hearted girls in the audience were moved to tears and felt extremely sympathetic towards the fate of the heroic Captain Gill on the screen.
...
Gel looked at Zhan Guo and continued.
"As for what the navy that you, Marshal Sengoku, said represented justice, was doing at the time? Can you tell us?"
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The admiral, whose eyes were already red and swollen, breathed rapidly but said nothing.
"Hahahaha! Since you're too embarrassed to say it yourself, let me say it!"
"The Navy is worthy of the reputation of being the watchdog of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. The Navy was on the scene at the time and dispatched a large number of warships, but they were not there to rescue civilians. We received orders from our superiors to surround the Valley of the Gods to prevent the "prey" from escaping and to prevent outsiders from disturbing the Celestial Dragons' hunting pleasure!!"
"this!…"
There was an uproar in Marinford Square. Countless young marines couldn't help but tremble, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Zhan Guo's chest was heaving violently. Even the fierce battle with Douglas Barrett just now couldn't make him breathe so heavily!
The position of the Admiral of the Navy is really a silent one! Seeing the eyes of the surrounding navy officers and soldiers who were eager for him to make a strong rebuttal, Zhan Guo's face turned blue and purple, and in the end he could only sigh in his heart!
Ugh!
Thinking back to when he was an admiral of the navy, he had often felt incomprehensible and dissatisfied with his old leader, Marshal Kong, who blindly followed the orders of the World Government. Now, things have changed. Who can he expect to understand his difficulties now?
The navy is strong, but without the military pay from the World Government, what would the millions of navymen in this ocean eat and drink? Do they really have to work at their own expense for the sake of "justice"? They are also people who need to support their families. Without the military pay, wouldn't they all rebel and become pirates?
Once the huge machine of the navy stops working, who will maintain the basic order on the sea? Without order, what kind of purgatory will the world become?
That is why he was forced, under the coercion of the World Government, to repeatedly choose the option that would minimize the number of casualties from among all the options that violated justice and even conscience.
"This world needs order!"
"order?"
"Hahahahaha! You call this order?"
After trying for a long time, Zhan Guo could only barely say one sentence, but was mercilessly ridiculed by Geer.
Gel's eyes were sharp, his wild and unruly hair was flying in the wind, his brows were furrowed, his face showed a bit of sadness and desolation, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Ah! What are these?"
Ivankov jumped back in fear.
"Heroic Haki? Why is it like this?"
Dorag frowned and looked at the black fog in front of him in confusion.
Balls of black energy slowly gathered around Gel, swirling around him like ghosts, as if the grievances and resentments that had been buried deep underground had finally waited for someone to speak for them, traveling through war and time and space.
Finally, they gathered together and turned into a ball of black flame that completely enveloped Gel!
The air around also became cold and depressing!
"Evil is hateful, but what is more hateful than evil is hypocrisy like yours!"
"As a naval admiral, you are incapable of leading the navy on a path of true justice, nor do you have the courage to reject the "unjust" orders issued by the World Government for the sake of "justice"! You have degenerated into a butcher's knife in the hands of these executioners! And yet you are still here talking about justice!"
"I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
"I…"
Zhan Guo’s face turned pale and he staggered.
