Chapter 302 The Origin and Truth of the World, Pre-War Meeting
More than three years after the Battle of Marineford, another enlarged meeting led by the Revolutionary Army was held.
All parties originally thought that this meeting would be just like the past ones, just a wrangling over the amendment and supplement of the law, or a discussion of new systems.
But after being brought into the Sky Island headquarters and seeing that the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army were all there, his expression became solemn.
Over the past three years or so, just as you said that the revolutionary army would be disbanded, the four army commanders did not participate in the enlarged meetings.
Entering the meeting room, seeing that the meeting had not started yet, Zhan Guo sat down next to Yixiao first.
"Your Excellency the Marshal."
He smiled and nodded slightly. Although he could not see, he recognized the naval marshal next to him with his observation skills.
Zhan Guo said: "The four commanders of the revolutionary army have never participated in the enlarged meeting before, why this time..."
Yi Xiao: "Your Excellency the Marshal, who was once praised as a wise general, should be able to guess it. After all, in the past three years, the current system has been discussed and revised time and time again, and special issues have been supplemented time and time again..."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo also confirmed his guess.
Under the system of separation of military and politics that you mentioned, the fact that the four commanders of the revolutionary army were able to appear in this meeting has already proved what the family’s next goal is.
After all, three years have passed since the Battle of Marineford, and the liberated areas are still just over 300 islands.
Although the four army commanders and the leaders of the revolutionary army in the first half of the Grand Line are still carrying out infiltration operations, their actions are not intense.
As for the New World...
After the BiGMOM Pirates were removed two years ago, most of the New World is now under the jurisdiction of the family.
"Da da da……"
At this time, a few people came into the meeting room again.
The person who became the king of the New World as an adventure group, and was also the first adventure king recognized by the Revolutionary Army and granted the qualifications for discussion at the expanded meeting: Whitebeard Newgate.
“Kulalala…”
Newgate glanced at the meeting place and laughed, then he sat down with great determination and said, "A war is about to start... I thought we would have to wait another two years, but that old guy Cyborg is very low-key."
Ginny, the commander of the Southern Army of the Revolutionary Army, said, "Although there have been constant frictions in the past three years, the World Government's navy has been very accommodating. Obviously, the five of the new generation on Marijoa do not want to go to war."
Ivankov, the person in charge of the first half of the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line, rubbed his head and said, "You guys are indeed having an easy time. I'm having a headache here. That psychopathic guy didn't even listen to the order to retreat."
Zhan Guo knew who the psychopath was that the other party was talking about.
One of the former crew members of One Piece, the offspring of the devil, currently known as the Devil Barrett, was recruited by the World Government and jumped from a criminal on the sixth floor of Impel Down to become a navy admiral.
If he had been in the navy before the Battle of Marineford, he would never have agreed to such an absurd thing.
It can also be seen from this that the new generation of the Five Elders have already given up on fame.
Although they did not care about the existence of the Celestial Dragons in the past, such a large-scale conscription without any bottom line also represents their fear.
"That guy Barrett..."
Newgate frowned. "Because that bastard Teach broke through Impel Down, all the vicious criminals that were once imprisoned there escaped. But among them, the only one who kept training and had a firm will... was this guy."
His firm will means that the general known as the evil ghost is still as domineering as ever, and may even have made some progress.
The commander of the Eastern Army, Belo Betty, said at this time: "The three admirals of the World Government's navy, the top combat forces recruited through the Great Recruitment, and a user of the Mori Mori Fruit: codenamed Green Bull."
"We had a fight before outside the special passage from the East China Sea into the Grand Line from the Upside-Down Mountain. That guy's ability has been developed and he is not afraid of the high temperature of the flame gun."
Karas: "There is another Kevin... His sword skills and domineering aura are very strong."
After the words were spoken, Belobetti, Ivankov and others were silent for a while.
Then before the meeting started, everyone continued to discuss the top combat power of the World Government Navy.
The most important of them is naturally the old but still famous Steel Bone Kong.
Fifteen years ago, before the murder of the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago, Sora Cyborg was still the Admiral of the Navy. At that time, apart from Zephyr who had become the chief instructor, the Navy only had one admiral, Sengoku.
As a former subordinate, Zhan Guo naturally knew some information about his old boss.
"call……"
After exhaling, Zhan Guo's expression was a little unnatural.
But he still said, "Like Kevin, Sora... Sora also obeys the orders of the World Government. It is precisely because of this that even though he retired from the position of Marshal because of the murder of the Celestial Dragons, he still did not really retire."
White-bearded Newgate standing by also recalled the power of this old man from the old times.
In addition to the ability of the fruit, the old guy can be said to be a replica of Garp, and with the ancient species ability that has already awakened, his destructive power will certainly not decline with time.
Sengoku on the side continued: "Sora's strength is reflected in his physique and domineering aura. With the title of Steel Bone, he could be said to be the strongest force in the navy at that time."
……
After a while, everyone in the conference room had a certain understanding of this former marshal.
At this time, Kevin and Dragon also walked into the venue, and at the same time, the New World First Division Captain Jin also arrived late.
Whitebeard glanced at Jin and said, "That Kaido guy... is really loyal. But he also lost his position as the army leader. That woman Linlin went crazy and refused to recognize anyone. It was expected."
Three years ago, as one of the Four Emperors of the New World Pirates, the BiGMOM Pirates faced off against the Revolutionary Army and were defeated in the blink of an eye.
Charlotte Linling escaped, and all her children who had participated in the annihilation of the country fled in all directions, and those who did not participate have now become ordinary people and abide by the law.
Among them, the thirty-fifth girl: Charlotte Blin, provided the bloodline factor because of the ability of the Memory Fruit.
After learning and growing, the peculiarities of his inner and outer personality gradually stabilize, but because of his special abilities, the use of his abilities is subject to supervision and the scientific research institute is responsible for it.
"Ding……"
A clear voice sounded and everyone fell silent.
Kevin looked at the time and said, "The meeting officially begins."
Then, a three-dimensional projection appeared in the center of the conference round table.
Above is an analysis of the current situation in the world.
"Three years have passed, and everyone is now familiar with the process of the expanded meeting."
"In the past three years, the system we have implemented has encountered many problems, and I believe that various problems will also arise in the future."
"The system and laws will not remain unchanged, because the world is developing and technology is advancing. Productivity changes, people's wealth changes, the gap between the rich and the poor changes, the diversity of devil fruits changes, and the growth of individual combat power changes..."
"As time goes by, these changes are having an impact all the time. What we need to do is to supplement and amend the laws based on people-oriented and moral bottom line."
"The general direction has been determined after three years of verification. Various management systems have also stabilized, and the people in the liberated areas have become familiar with their new lives. So..."
"Next, we need to start moving forward."
The topic was raised and the meeting gave everyone time to think.
No one would think that it is wrong to move forward, because one of the foundations of the meeting is to put people first.
There is a sentence that the teacher always said in the past: There is no high or low in life.
The gap in quality of life between the liberated areas and the non-liberated areas is too great. Because of the emergence of the liberated areas, the areas centered on the Sabaody Archipelago have become even more chaotic and crazy.
The kings who once ruled the dark world in the second half of the Grand Line all evacuated their old nests when the Revolutionary Army promoted the Revolution of Hundred Nations.
They are not stupid. These people, who used to be respectful to the Four Emperors, have never thought of fighting the Revolutionary Army.
It just so happened that the World Government had become much weaker after the War of Marineford. At the very least, the naval forces responsible for forming a balance with them were more than halved.
So these people came to the Sabaody Archipelago, which was inevitably the playground of the Celestial Dragons. As long as they didn't encounter the cloaked men, this place would be their paradise.
So...the people in the non-liberated areas had a more difficult life during those three years.
The liberation of the regions is being advanced, there is no doubt about that.
The first person to raise his hand and speak was Newgate.
"gentlemen."
"It is imperative to advance the liberation of the area, but the calmness of the sea over the past three years is because we have not taken any action. Once the action is launched, the other side will inevitably burst out with all its strength."
"So... can the time be postponed?"
On the navy side, Marshal Zhan Guo also raised his hand: "Once the advancement of liberated areas begins, it will inevitably be a full-scale war with the World Government. I remember that the New Era Newspaper once had several reports about the truth of the world. Here I would like to ask you, sir, the authenticity and reasons of those reports."
After he finished speaking, Kevin looked at the other people, including the commander of the revolutionary army and several people representing the government system.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for his reply, Kevin looked at Newgate first.
"The reason why the Hundred Nations Revolution stopped advancing after the war at the top with 356 islands and countries is not just a feasibility experiment of the system."
As Kevin spoke, he picked up the remote control and clicked it, and the projection in the center of the conference round table changed.
The entire world map formed a planet, and then longitude and latitude lines appeared on the planet.
"For eight hundred years, the magnetic field has been changing constantly."
"It is precisely because of this that the Calm Belt was formed and the Red Earth Continent existed. Of course, the Red Earth Continent existed eight hundred years ago, but it is constantly rising."
Increase? For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Kevin pressed the remote again, and the voice of Vegapunk, the head of the Science Academy, appeared.
"Sir, your knowledge on this issue is not enough, so let me explain it to you."
Vegapunk then spoke for nearly two hours, answering questions from various representatives.
Although reasonable explanations were given for each problem, Kevin still felt that the physical basis of this world was outrageous.
After all, if the magnetic field changes only complete a cycle every 800 years, then the atmosphere of this planet should have had problems long ago. Under the radiation...
radiation……
Kevin's eyes froze slightly, but he immediately put aside the mess in his mind.
Kevin didn't speak until Vegapunk finished speaking. "The time for the magnetic field change to be completed has been advanced. The reason for this is the change in the weight of the world. So... there is no possibility of delaying the time for the advancement of the liberated areas."
At this point, Kevin looked at the navy representative, Zhan Guo: "It is true that the world will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. This itself is a reincarnation and the price of the birth of life."
"Eight hundred years ago, the first pirate, Joy Boy, learned about this cycle and found a solution, but this solution was opposed by past ideas and systems, thus starting a huge war."
"According to the stone carvings from ancient times, this planet was called the Blue Planet by visitors. But according to O'Hara's documents, this planet had several continents eight hundred years ago."
"In addition... there are some Sky Islanders on some Sky Island. They have wings behind them, which are very similar to the people from the moon in the murals. And on Sky Island... land is the most precious thing."
At this point, everyone frowned for a moment, analyzing the meaning of these words.
After their ideological awakening, as representatives able to attend enlarged meetings, they had already learned how to analyze problems on their own.
But the amount of information contained in just these few paragraphs is incredible.
Blue Planet...the color of sea water is blue.
Precious land resources...
The inevitable end, where the world is drowned, is coming.
When several points are connected, we are getting closer to the truth.
Kevin then continued, "For a long time, the Celestial Dragons on the Red Earth Continent have regarded all other life forms as bugs. When they were fighting the previous generation of the Five Elders, as well as the Knights of God, they all said something similar."
"Mermaids were created for their viewing pleasure. The fate of each race is determined from birth... All of the above points to one fact."
"All races, including humans, may have been created by the Celestial Dragons. And this... is also the origin of the creator they promote."
The silent conference room was filled with depression after Kevin finished speaking.
Everyone present had a solemn look on their face.
Descendants of the Creator, a title that they thought was ridiculous in the past, is it true?
"boom."
Newgate slapped his hand on the conference table. "So what? The Creator can do whatever he wants? Can he regard all life as insects?"
Zhan Guo also spoke up: "As long as they have wisdom and emotions, they can communicate and express themselves. Even if they are indeed descendants of the Creator, so what?"
Karas' hoarse voice rang out: "Sir, you said that there is no distinction between noble and humble lives. Such a creator will only end up being overthrown by the people!"
……
Everyone expressed their anger and stance, and Kevin felt comforted by this attitude.
Why are ideological awakening and enlightenment the foundation of a revolutionary army?
Because only when wisdom is opened and thoughts are awakened, will the people of this world not kneel down on the ground just for a title and beg for mercy from the so-called descendants of the Creator.
Kevin nodded slightly, and then continued, "I have always emphasized that judging whether a person is good or evil should not be based on his race, but on what he does."
"The same is true for them who came from outer space. Eight hundred years ago, a part of the people in that huge kingdom, represented by Joyboy, were adherents of a different ideology."
As soon as the words were spoken, the projection changed again.
The planetarium turned into a map, and everyone could clearly see that the red earth continent had dropped a lot, while the areas of each island were also expanding.
Soon, several islands with enlarged areas were connected to form the appearance of a continent.
"This is the world eight hundred years ago. Compared to today, the sea level of the entire world has risen by a full two hundred meters."
Two hundred meters...
This number is terrifying for the world, because if the sea level of an island rises by 200 meters, the only remaining area may be the top of the mountain.
Kevin continued, "Magnetic field deflection, the authority of ancient weapons, and the collision of two ideologies that broke out eight hundred years ago. The so-called Creator had two voices, representing two factions."
"The Calm Belt and the Red Earth Continent cut off the flow of information and communication across the world, and the development of science and technology was therefore restricted."
"The creators from outside this planet chose another development model because of historical problems in their hometown and the exhaustion of resources caused by the development of science and technology..."
"The cloning technology has created many species and also presented species diversity. The discovery of the bloodline factor has allowed the devil fruit ability to continue to appear as a legacy of will."
"Bloodline factor...bloodline..."
"Blocking the development of technology, based on bloodline factors, continuing to hold the power of ancient weapons... And the power is not just a weapon that can destroy an island with one strike, but also the power to cleanse the world."
"Some creators believe that the cloned species are all bugs, and are just consumables that provide nutrients for their rulers. When there are too many consumables and they themselves begin to consume resources, the Great Purge will begin."
"Alabasta, Dressrosa, Marijoa, Wano Country... these towering countries whose royal palaces were built eight hundred years ago, have a ruling class that is one of the creators."
"That is... the twenty kings who united to form the World Government eight hundred years ago. The descendants of the Creator, the gods, the world's nobility."
Kevin paused here and looked at Zhan Guo.
The Admiral looked solemn at this moment.
In fact, it was not just him, but everyone in the conference room was like this.
Creator, cleaning, and consumables.
These facts are really hard to accept for an individual life with thoughts.
"Sir... there is another part of the Creator, right? Another part of the Creator with another thought?"
The commander of the Western Army asked with a smile.
Kevin nodded slightly. "In fact, I don't want to call them the Creator, because it will make you think they are really Gods. It's just that this meeting is more suitable for explaining the truth of the world."
He smiled when he heard that and opened his eyes. Under his pale pupils and hideous scars, there was a bright heart.
"When our ancestors were created and had thoughts and emotions, they were real lives. They think they are consumables and insects, but how can a life with emotions be a bug?"
"There is no distinction between noble and humble lives. This is the oath we swore when we joined our companions after our ideological assessment. Have you forgotten it?"
"What about the truth?"
He smiled and slowly stood up.
"Nineteen years ago, what was the revolutionary army like at that time? How strong was your fighting ability at that time?"
The pale pupils met Zhan Guo's.
Yixiao continued, "According to the action records, in the battle of the Sabaody Archipelago, in order to cover the evacuation of the revolutionary army seeds that were secretly carrying out the Five Nations Revolution at that time, he fought to the death alone in the Sabaody Archipelago."
"The records show that your power at that time was far less than it is now. The entire revolutionary army was even less than it was, and a general teamed up with the CP to force you to risk your life."
"But even so, sir, you never thought of giving up. And now, we are afraid because of the name of a creator. How... ridiculous?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo was speechless.
Whitebeard on the other side said in a deep voice: "The creator is useless to me! An old man like me has never read a book. I used to fight for my life. I agreed to join the adventure group and become the king without any reason."
"But now... I only know that life in my hometown is getting better and better, the laughter of the elderly and children is increasing, and everyone can survive with their own hands."
"No one can break this kind of life! No one can!"
Hearing this, Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm just a little shocked."
After an awkward explanation, Zhan Guo looked at Kevin and said, "So sir, what about the other part... the outsiders?"
Kevin continued in a deep voice: "The other part... is the huge kingdom from eight hundred years ago. It was the country of Joyboy, the country of the giant mechanical soldiers, and the country that started that huge war."
"Through reverse engineering, the technological power of the giant mechanical soldiers can show the technological level of that country in the past. Even Dr. Vegapunk cannot completely replicate it."
“Technology is blocked, but the huge kingdom is still implementing another idea, that is, the idea of developing technology.”
"The development of technology will consume the planet's resources. If we cannot make progress to solve the resource problem before all is consumed, the fate of our former homeland will reappear."
"Under the collision of the two ideas, Joy Boy went out to sea. It was also at this time that he was defined as the first pirate."
"And Fishman Island is special. The mermaid princess, who is an ancient weapon, has also awakened her own thoughts at this moment... freedom."
"When the world sinks to the bottom of the sea, it will cleanse the entire world, but the mermaids and fishmen who already exist on the bottom of the sea will definitely not be drowned. Therefore, the mermaid princess who inherited the authority of Poseidon, the king of the sea, is special among consumables."
