Chapter 832 Exposed
"It's not just the pirates who don't produce anything. Think about it, there is a group of people who rob openly and kill people without spilling blood!"
Vic said calmly, "The superstructure determines the foundation. If everything above is rotten, how can you expect peace below?" This world must have a supernatural power to suppress it, otherwise the order would have collapsed and a new world would have been established. Another 800 years? I'm afraid it won't take even 80 years, and the Celestial Dragons would have been wiped out three times.
"You mean... the Navy?"
"Think again."
"Tian...Draconian?"
"That's right! They are the main culprits, the most vicious parasites! Do you know how I left the Navy?
Just because they suspected that there were survivors of O'Hara lurking on the island, they ordered to kill everyone on the island, even if it meant killing the wrong person. Then I rebelled and killed the leading Celestial Dragon, so I had to leave the Navy!
They have done a lot of things like this, and many of the charges are trumped up. They have destroyed most of the countries that have disappeared. Do you think such an organization can rule the world? And they call themselves the world government? It's ridiculous!"
Aokiji is in an information cocoon, ignoring what the navy representing justice, the world government that rules the world, and the creator Celestial Dragons have done. He has been in such an environment since he was born, accepting the concepts and rules of this world!
He was used to the practices of the Navy and the World Government, and also used to the superiority of the Celestial Dragons, and even regarded it as a belief!
In addition, the World Government has intentionally or unintentionally pointed the finger at pirates, causing most people to transfer their hatred to the pirates. Even those who are almost starving to death because of paying the Heavenly Gold have pointed the finger at the pirates, because they also believe that it is the pirates who are responsible for this. The World Government collects this money to protect them from being harmed by pirates!
As for those who actually know that the problem lies with the World Government, very few people know that the Sky Gold is collected by local rulers and then escorted by the navy. Many people don't even know that there is a World Government behind this. People at the bottom have no access to the operations of the upper level. Even high-ranking naval officials like Aokiji will fall into confusion until they are awakened by Vic.
"This... You are talking about Heavenly Gold, right? But that is also used as military expenditure for the navy to fight pirates. This is not a big problem, right?"
Aokiji thought about all the past events in his mind and gained a lot of insights, but it was still a little unbelievable. Beliefs and concepts are not things that can be broken in a short time. Many people will go all the way to the end for them, and even if they see the truth, they will try their best to convince themselves that they have been deceived!
Fortunately, Aokiji is not such a paranoid person. He believes more in what he sees with his own eyes. Otherwise, he would not be confused. This is the stage of self-doubt. The next step is self-awakening like Dragon. However, Vic obviously wants him to take a shortcut to achieve the goal of awakening quickly.
"Do you know how much Heavenly Gold there is every year? How much Heavenly Gold is used as Navy expenses? Where does the money that the Celestial Dragons squander so extravagantly come from?
Do you know how much money they spend at auction every year? Do you know how extravagant they live? Do you believe them when they say that all the gold in the sky is used as military expenditure?
Look at the lower class people, what kind of life do they live? No matter how hard they work to make money, their lives are not getting better. They are getting worse and worse, and even have to sell their children!
The amount of Heavenly Gold they have to pay completely exceeds their income. Even if they work without eating or drinking, it may just be enough to pay the Heavenly Gold. How do you expect them to live?
If their rulers are kind-hearted, they will help fill in some of the gold in the sky so that the lives of the lower-class civilians can barely be maintained. If you don’t believe it, you can go to a few more countries to see the actual situation. With your strength, this is easy to find out!"
It's not necessary for Vic to bring Aokiji into the team right now. It's enough to make him truly realize who the enemy is. By then, he might come to him himself.
As for an ambitious person like Blackbeard, you will know what kind of person he is once you get to know him. And his gang of companions are not good people. Expecting them to overthrow the World Government? Wouldn't that mean another World Government will take office? Wouldn't the overthrow of the World Government be in vain?
Aokiji is a smart man. He can see all this. In the end, he will never join Blackbeard's team again. The current Blackbeard Pirates are not that competitive. At least he is no longer a dual-fruit ability user.
"If what you said is true! How can we change it?"
Aokiji was also a little confused. He already believed it about 70% of the time, but facing the behemoth of the World Government, he had no idea what to do. On the other hand, Vic talked eloquently and seemed to know a lot of inside information.
"It depends on your attitude. If you want to be alone, then quickly find a place to live in seclusion, get married, have children, and live the rest of your life well!
With your strength, you don’t have to worry about gold from the sky falling on your head. But as for your descendants, I don’t know if they have the same strength as you. It’s possible that gold from the sky will fall on their heads, and their descendants will be endless, or it’s possible that they will die in the second generation and have no descendants anymore!”
"Of course I want to do something! But how?"
Thinking about the scene described by Vic, Aokiji felt a little scalp tingling. He could certainly avoid it if he had the strength, but who could guarantee that his descendants would always be strong?
Although he could choose to be alone, as a member of the human race, he also has a sense of social responsibility. He also wants to do something for this group, instead of letting them become objects of bloodsucking forever and live a life in dire straits.
"You should know something about the O'Hara incident. The World Government is trying to cover up the blank 800 years of history 100 years ago. That period of history should be the World Government's dark history!
They became the rulers of this world through some improper means. If this is exposed, their rule will definitely be shaken.
Those who knew the truth have long passed away, and the only thing left is the historical text. However, there are very few people who can translate ancient texts now. Your good deeds in O'Hara back then are exactly hope!
Nico Robin can translate ancient texts. This may be the cause and effect. You saved her in the past, and now she can help you. The truth behind the blank 100 years should be at Raftel, the end of the Grand Line.
If you want to go there, you have to rely on Robin's guidance, because getting there requires signposts recorded in the historical text, so in this ocean, the Straw Hat Boy is the most likely to become the Pirate King!
As long as you follow the Straw Hat Pirates to Raftel, not to mention learning the truth and overthrowing the rule of the World Government, at the very least you can also end the Great Pirate Era!
Of course, you can also join my Thunder God Pirates. When the 100-year blank incident happens, I will definitely help. The grudge between the Celestial Dragons and me has already been forged, and it cannot be resolved. It all depends on your choice!"
Victor doesn't really care whether Aokiji joins the Straw Hat Pirates or his own Thunder God Pirates. In the end, they will be his own strength anyway, so as long as he doesn't join the Blackbeard Pirates, it will be fine.
And Aokiji definitely won't be able to join in a short period of time. He will go and see this world with his own eyes according to what Vic said. He was too cursory before and didn't see the causes and consequences behind it. This time he will take a closer look!
...
Aokiji left, wanting to explore what Vic said. At night, Olivia was particularly crazy because Vic mentioned O'Hara and the historical text, which made her, who had been listening, very depressed and painful, so she vented it on Vic at night.
Half a month passed in a flash, and Vic and Olivia returned to Titan Island, this time going to the underwater Fishman Island.
At the entrance of Fishman Island, Wick saw the pirate flag he designed, and went to the Dragon King Palace to see Shirahoshi. The Hard Shell Tower was very strong and Shirahoshi was safe. Wick took a tour of Fishman Island and then took Olivia back to the New World.
