Chapter 1388: What King Do You Want to Be?

Thirty years later.

The war 30 years ago affected the world and caused a large number of feudal nobles and capital to fall. They all cursed the initiator and called the war the “Despicable Battle of Usurpation”.

However, most of the people called it a ‘honorable victory’.

But in any case, the ruler of the World Government, who has been called [Princeps] by the sea, announced to the world in that war that the World Government had changed, and Marine will represent everything of the World Government and unify everything.

The Judicial Island and CP organization are still under the jurisdiction of the World Government and their rights have not changed. Marine is still the same Marine. Marine, with Doug-Greg Kaz as the Marshal, has issued a war declaration to the pirates of the sea. In five years, those troublesome pirates have been cleaned up. The remaining pirates are hiding in the corners of the sea like rats.

Everything seemed to have changed little, but it was a complete change.

Tenryubito is gone, and the feudal nobles and capital that are pressing on the heads of the people are also gone. They do not have to pay a heavy tax, and all taxes are formulated by the World Government after measuring the local situation and sending officials to station them.

As for the king…

At David’s call, all the countries on the sea shed their identity as kings and changed their identities—representatives of the public.

This existence is selected by the people in the local area to give the World Government opinions during meetings and supervise each other with the officials sent by the World Government.

As for those who disagreed or committed crimes, they were basically hanged by Marines.

Just like hanging those nobles, find a street lamp and hang them on a tree. Don’t hang them in other ways because of their status. Use this way to tell the world that you are… nothing in the eyes of the government.

As for the pirates, although they have been cleaned up, they are indeed endless. Based on the geographical environment of the sea, even if Kuro decides to recruit a large number of government officials to go to every island and village, it is still not enough.

The human heart cannot be satisfied.

There will still be pirates going to sea, especially those pirates who have obtained power. They will go to sea with their so-called dreams to find the legend that has gradually become ancient—one Piece.

But this is only a small part of it. Most of the pirates, some are for freedom, some for power, and some are purely for the treasures scattered on the sea.

As for pirates, Kuro initially thought of killing all of them, but when he thought about it, it was not right. This opening is too strict. It will let those who have just gone to sea as pirates to do some bad things. In the end, they will be sentenced.

However, he also let go.

Plundering is definitely wrong, but if you simply go out to sea to adventure and look for treasures, even if it is One Piece, he will not stop you.

After all, that thing is not a threat to Kuro itself. What blank century, what historical truth? The textbooks compiled by the World Government clearly write these things. Although the new World Government does not know it, they also clearly write that no one is interested in this thing. They are the new World Government, a new World Government that seeks the welfare of the people and makes the world as equal as possible.

Including how Kuro himself came to power, how the Marine was formed, how the Old World government ruled for 800 years, how the nobles and feudal funds were beaten off, and why they were beaten off, they are all printed in books.

What matters to the world is transparency.

Secrets and secrets that affect the world are never deliberately hidden. If you want to know, you can investigate it yourself. After your curiosity is satisfied, you can continue to live your life.

They are the new government, and they represent the general public. It doesn’t matter if you are curious about history, and it doesn’t matter if you know about it, but you have to use this history to run to the people and say that you have a throne to inherit and that you used to be my slaves…

Sorry, do you see that tree next to your village?

He hung it up himself.

… .

[Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a legendary warrior, the Sun God, Nika. He brought liberation and laughter to people. At that time, the slaves firmly believed that Nika would be able to liberate them in the end. But as far as we know, Nika is a Devil Fruit, obtained by the great pirate Monchi D. Luffy 20 years ago. His legend is still told in the East China Sea and the Grand Line, but we know that it is not Monchi D. Luffy who saved the world, but our Führer. If there is really a Sun God, he must be the real Sun God! Let us cheer for him. The Sun God protects us!]

East Blue, Shelz Town, in an ordinary single-family residence.

A man sat on a small bench with his legs crossed. He held a new newspaper in his hand and pointed at the content of the newspaper with his other hand. “Which idiot wrote this?”

Standing next to him was a bespectacled middle-aged man in a black suit. There was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and he seemed to be thinking.

“World Economic News, Mr. Kuro,” the man said to the man sitting on the small bench below.

The person sitting there looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing a big cloak that exposed his chest, his hair was combed back, and he had a cigar in his mouth. As his head swayed, the golden earrings beside his earlobes glowed.
