Chapter 727 Money Ability
...
Golden city
Inside the boss' office.
"Hahahaha! Subarasi! Subarasi! Captain Gol is indeed worthy of his name! Are you preparing to declare an all-out war on the World Government? Great! I can't wait!"
Tezulo leaned back on the sofa, slapping his thigh excitedly while watching the live broadcast.
"What a shitty World Government! What a shitty Celestial Dragons! They are only worthy of being stepped on by the Captain!!"
"Captain Gul is such a fool! Why didn't he bring more people with him? It's really too risky!"
Stella said with a frown on her face.
"Don't worry, honey..."
Tesoro originally wanted to remind Stella that there was also the admiral Akin and the four Shichibukai, Enel, Franky, Pedro, and Hodi Jones.
If anything unexpected happens, if they all work together with all their strength, even taking down the Navy Headquarters won't be a problem, so there's no need to worry at all.
But if you think about it carefully, Stella is not unaware of this. With a woman's mindset, even if she really moved all the people under their influence over there to fill up Marinford, it would not affect her concern for Captain Gill's safety.
...
In front of the big screen in the Chabaoti Archipelago.
Everyone started talking.
"Hey, hey, hey, once every three years? That means that the Valley of the Gods was the only time an accident occurred that resulted in survivors, and it was not the only time that the Celestial Dragons held such an extremely cruel hunting competition! Then, how many other islands and countries have been wantonly slaughtered by the Celestial Dragons over the past few hundred years?"
"So, those islands and countries that suddenly disappeared were actually chosen by the Celestial Dragons and became their hunting grounds for arbitrarily harvesting lives?"
"Is this the World Government and the Celestial Dragons that rule this world? Why is it like this? We have been working hard just to survive, and even so, we have never thought of going out to sea as pirates. We have honestly paid taxes to them every year. Why?"
"Why? You've seen Celestial Dragons before, but have they ever treated us as human beings?!"
"Oh my god, what kind of world is this? Even the navy that claims to be the embodiment of justice can't protect us. What else can we do?"
"How terrible, so terrible! I really can't imagine what kind of despair they experienced before they died!"
"Damn the Celestial Dragons! Damn the World Government! The Navy is no good either! Even though they were forced to do so, they are actually just helping the evil!"
The civilians who were watching the live broadcast began to become excited, and it felt like the entire island had become noisy. Curses were heard from the crowd against the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Amid the outrage, the voices were surprisingly unanimous, and no one was afraid of speaking out of turn anymore.
"This Lord Gol actually dared to expose the ugly faces of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons in front of so many people. He is really amazing!"
"Yes, but the World Government and the Celestial Dragons will definitely regard him as a thorn in their side!"
"It's so hard to find such a big shot who is willing to speak up for ordinary people like us! We must not let them harm us!"
Everyone began to worry about the man on the screen involuntarily.
"Of course not! Lord Gol is so powerful that even the admiral of the navy is no match for him!"
"That's right! Good will prevail over evil! Lord Gel and the others will definitely not lose!"
"That's right!"
...
Unconsciously, "good and bad" have quietly changed.
"this?"
A "veteran" reporter looked dazed for a moment.
Looking at the scene in front of him and listening to the discussions around him, he couldn't help but think of what Admiral Zhan Guo had said before:
Fairness and freedom!
"Quick! Pass this message back! Hurry up! We must spread this message around the world as soon as possible so that more people can know!"
After recovering from the shock, the veteran reporter shouted in panic to his assistant.
"But, Mr. Sha, we don't know whether this information is true or not. Let's send it back now... What if the information is false..."
The assistant leaned closer to his ear and reminded him nervously in a low voice.
"Teacher Sha, this is black material that the World Government wants to cover up. Should our newspaper really report it? Will we be retaliated by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?"
"Snapped!"
"idiot!"
The veteran reporter slapped his assistant on the back of the head and explained loudly.
"You also know that this matter may lead to retaliation from the World Government! Now that we know the dark history that they are trying so hard to cover up, we must spread the news quickly! Only by letting more people know! No! We must let everyone in the world know! Only then will we be safe!"
"what do you mean…"
The young assistant was terrified when he thought about it, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.
"No way! No matter what... the World Government can't possibly take so many people here..."
The assistant felt more and more guilty as he spoke.
"Why not! For the World Government, as long as they can control the spread of news in time, why not let the Sabaody Archipelago become the next Valley of the Gods?"
The veteran reporter did not deliberately lower the volume, and the other reporters around him were all stunned when they heard it.
"Quick! Quick! Spread the news to me! Don't worry about whether it's true or not!"
"No! The news must be true! Who would have nothing better to do than go to the Marine Headquarters and spread rumors to defame the World Government and the Celestial Dragons in front of all the powerful men in the Navy?"
"That's right! What he said must be true! It's truer than pearls! We must let everyone in the world know about this as quickly as possible!"
Since their lives are at stake, there is no need for anyone to urge them, and all the reporters have already started working consciously.
In fact, their worries were not unnecessary. As early as when they discovered that it was technically impossible to stop the live broadcast, the Five Elder Stars had already considered ending this farce from a "physical level"!
Especially when Gul was about to tell the story of the Valley of the Gods, the Five Elders were really prepared to make the Sabaody Archipelago disappear from the map before the news spread completely.
If it weren't for the fact that Golden City was also broadcasting live, and if Golden City's headquarters, the Golden Tesoro, was not docked in the waters near the Sabaody Archipelago, if the World Government really wanted to impose sanctions on the Sabaody Archipelago, it would definitely be seen by more people gathered on the Golden Tesoro, and it would be impossible to keep it completely secret.
No matter what, it is just the brat's opinion now. The World Government can stubbornly refuse to admit it, but if they really take action and cannot clean up their mess, then all their evil deeds will be completely confirmed.
It's really not worth it!
Moreover, the serious consequences of falling out with the Golden Emperor Tesoro would have to be carefully considered by even the Five Elders, who are nominally the highest authorities in the World Government.
Not to mention other aspects, the taxes paid by the two major taxpayers, Golden City and Bula Chamber of Commerce, alone exceed more than half of the total fiscal revenue.
If the World Government completely breaks up with Tesoro, it will immediately lose nearly 30% of its tax revenue.
Even if it was just for the sake of money, the Five Elders had to give up the idea.
As for destroying the Golden Tezoro and its inhabitants, they have not completely lost their minds yet.
Not to mention that the defense of the Golden City is actually no worse than that of the Pirate Emperor, just taking action against those people above is a very troublesome matter. They are all well-known people, either princes and nobles or politicians from various countries. Eliminating them will definitely plunge the world into greater turmoil.
In addition, according to reliable sources, even a strong man of the level of Pluto Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the former Pirate King Roger, had the shamelessness to become a security captain there just to make money. His money power is beyond imagination, so it is obviously impossible for him to swallow up the Golden City in one bite.
