Chương 39: The Meeting with Black Arm Zephyr, the Former Marine Admiral
[Bonus Chapter]
...
Inside the headquarters of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ethan met Zephyr who had been waiting here for a long time.
Zephyr's face was haggard at this time, with a blank look in his eyes. Seeing Ethan appear, he quickly stood up and waved to him.
"You're finally here!"
Black Arm Zephyr looked at Ethan and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Ethan nodded and said, "I am now a criminal wanted by the World government, but you came to me… You quit being a Marine?"
Black Arm Zephyr smiled bitterly: "Yes! After hearing what you said that day, my heart was in chaos. I'm not afraid to tell you, I originally had a crazy plan to completely wipe out the New World pirates…"
Ethan's heart moved, and he asked, pretending not to know, "What plan?"
Black Arm Zephyr said: "New World has three important islands, which are the passages connecting the magma under the sea. As long as these three islands are detonated to the boiling magma, the entire New World will be destroyed, and all pirates in this sea area will be difficult to Run away to death."
As soon as these words came out, the chat group immediately boiled.
Golden Lion Shiki: "Damn it! Is this the Black Arm Zephyr I know? Marine Admiral, who doesn't even kill the most vicious pirates, wants to destroy the New World madly."
One Piece Roger: "Well! It seems that the behavior of the World government has caused a great impact on Black Arm Zephyr! Otherwise, with his character, he would never have come up with such an extreme plan."
Senju Hashirama also sighed: "What a crazy old guy!"
Chatting with other people in the chat group these days, otherworldly visitors like Senju Hashirama also have a basic understanding of the pirate world. They know how vast the New World is and how many people live in the New World, so they are shocked by it.
Ethan said slowly: "With all due respect, even if your plan is really implemented, the effect will not be very good. Kaido of the Beasts, Charlotte Linlin, the most vicious two of the Four Emperors have the ability to fly, your plan won't kill them."
"While it may be possible to defeat ordinary or even senior officials of the Four Emperors Pirates, the Pirate Emperor is the heart and soul of the crew. As long as the Pirate Emperor is alive, there remains hope for the Four Emperors Pirates to regroup and rebuild."
Black Arm Zephyr said helplessly: "I know, I also considered it. But for me, this is the most effective way to eliminate pirates I can think of. Fortunately, what you said at the beginning woke me up. Let me know the root of the existence of pirates – World government!"
Black Arm Zephyr's voice became cold: "As long as the World government still needs pirates, the pirates will not really disappear. If one day the World government doesn't need pirates, then they don't need Marines. At that time, they will truly rule the world."
Black Arm Zephyr said with a wry smile: "Marine is not ignorant of the virtues of the World government and Celestial Dragons, but for the stability of the sea, we have to compromise with them. If there is no Marine, the World government and Celestial Dragons truly rule the world, that scene will be even more tragic than the era of the Great Pirates!"
Ethan listened quietly to Black Arm Zephyr and asked, "Then what are you looking for me for?"
Black Arm Zephyr shook his head and said, "It's because I don't know what to do that I came to you. I think you should have the idea of overthrowing the World government, right?"
Ethan nodded and said, "Yeah! Those disgusting guys are at the top, which makes me very uncomfortable. If that's the case, then you stay here for the time being! You didn't leave the Marine alone, did you?"
Black Arm Zephyr nodded and said, "After I formed the Pirates, I have effectively left Marine. Now that I am leaving Marine, some members of the Marines have decided to follow me."
Ethan laughed: "Very good! Since that's the case, let them come to my lands and be Marines!"
Black Arm Zephyr was dumbfounded and asked: "What did you say? You want my pirate guerrillas to become Marines in the territories controlled by pirates?"
Ethan spoke calmly: "Yes, that's right. Since we intend to replace the World Government, we need to start preparing early. My land has grown in size and there are many pirates within it, so it would be beneficial to have their help in dealing with any challenges that may arise."
Don't think that the territory of the Four Emperors is safe from pirates. The pirate flag of the Four Emperors can deter some pirates, but some pirates come to the New World with the purpose of replacing the Four Emperors and taking off the heads of the Four Emperors.
These people don't care about the flag of the Four Emperors. The challengers that the Four Emperors Pirates clean up every year can save more than one circle of Naval Headquarters.
Black Arm Zephyr thought, "Isn't your territory run by the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Shaking his head, Ethan said, "They're all pirates. Charging into battle and acting like thugs is one thing, but maintaining law and order like the Marines is another. They're not cut out for that kind of duty. Don't worry, I'll tell them to leave early so as not to cause any conflicts with you."
in the chat group.
Whitebeard asked, "You're planning to hand over my territory to a Marine, led by Black Arm Zephyr?"
Ethan replied, "What territory are you talking about? That's my territory now. Besides, your sons are not cut out for that kind of work. They should focus on their training instead."
Golden Lion Shiki remarked, "So it seems you're aiming to replace the World Government? If you're that ambitious, then I have high hopes for you!"
An ambitious person like Golden Lion Shiki did not fulfill his wish to rule the world before he was alive, and it feels good to watch others accomplish it after death.
Fire Fist Ace: "I remember that Luffy's father is the leader of the revolutionary army. Do you want to cooperate with him? The purpose of the revolutionary army is to overthrow the world government."
Ethan: "Ace, you are so young."
Whitebeard chuckled and said, "Gurararara! Even people with the same goals may not always choose to cooperate. With so many aspiring Pirate Kings in the sea, who knows if they'll ever work together?"
Fire Fist Ace: "It's different! There is only one position for Pirate King, and overthrowing the World Government is their common goal."
Roger from One Piece replied, "No, it's not that simple. The reason they can't cooperate is because of the ownership of the One Piece."
Ethan: "That's right! The Revolutionary Army won't choose me as their leader just because I'm strong, and I won't take orders from others. By the way, how much do you know about the Revolutionary Army?"
Whitebeard: "The team led by Garp's son has been very active over the years. However, they are not strong enough and have been hiding in the east. However, their concept of freedom is good, attracting many people to join them."
Ethan said with disdain: "The idea is good? The idea is a slogan. Sometimes it's enough to shout, but it can't be taken seriously. Do you know why the revolutionary army has not been able to grow?"
One Piece Roger: "Why?"
The Revolutionary Army can be said to have inherited Roger's ideals, and Roger is very concerned about this topic.
Ethan said, "The leader of the Revolutionary Army allowed his son to become a pirate. Can a team led by such a person earn the trust of the people? If they were to replace the World Government, would they be able to solve the pirate problem that ordinary people have been worried about?"
Whitebeard: "Probably! The revolutionary army has never been very fond of pirates. After they replace the World Government, they should suppress pirates."
Shiki asked, "So you're saying that Straw Hat Luffy, the son of their leader, will be suppressed?"
Fire Fist Ace: "This…"
Ethan said, "Let me tell you, there's a high chance that Straw Hat Luffy won't be suppressed. So the question is, how different is the Revolutionary Army from the current World Government? The leader's son has privilege, and so do the Celestial Dragons. What sets us apart?"
Ethan asked, "If the Revolutionary Army isn't that different from the World Government, why do they want to help replace it? And don't forget, the process of replacing the government will cause great harm to the world."
Ethan sneered that the revolutionary army led by Dragon was not that great.
You know, a revolution does not mean a democratic revolution!
Ethan: "It's precisely because they recognized the shortcomings of the Revolutionary Army that benevolent and righteous individuals like Fujitora chose not to join them, but instead joined the Marines,"
Fire Fist Ace couldn't help but defend his brother's father, saying, "Is the Revolutionary Army really as bad as you say? There are many people in the sea who admire and support them."
Ethan stated, "The Revolutionary Army's excellence is limited to the present time. Their essence is similar to the World Government. When the World Government was first established, it wasn't necessarily worse than the Revolutionary Army. However, now they have both degenerated in a similar way."
Ethan: "Let me tell you this! , you know? Marine hero Garp the Fist, a rare righteous man on the sea. He has a famous saying, do you know?"
Whitebeard: "I don't know, what famous quote?"
Ethan said, "Pirates are unforgivable, but family is different. So he let go of his grandson and indulged his son. To be honest, his favoritism is quite refreshing and refined."
One Piece Roger defended his good friend, "This can't be demanded. Forcing him to deal with his grandson and son is too impersonal."
Ethan clarified, "You misunderstood me! What I want to express is that powerful people can always have privileges."
Ethan then brought up the Summit War, "Do you know why Luffy, a novice pirate with minimal skills, survived the Summit War? It's because Garp is a Marine hero. As Luffy's grandfather, even if Impel Down was raided and countless prisoners were released, and public executions were disrupted, the Marines would still let him go."
Ethan: "Isn't it ironic? I don't think the Garp family is very different from Celestial Dragons!"
Ethan: "Garp has been a Marine all his life, maintaining the peace and stability of the sea. He has made great achievements, so he can protect his grandson. Even if his grandson commits a serious crime, he will be safe."
Ethan: "The ancestors of the Celestial Dragons created the World government and Marine, and they have contributed more to maintaining the world order than Garp. It's normal to protect the Celestial Dragons from mischief, right?"
Ethan: "The ancestors of the Celestial Dragons contributed a lot, so their descendants can do more evil Garp's contribution is not as great as that of the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, so the straw hat Luffy can only do less evil than the Celestial Dragons."
The chat group was silent.
Fire Fist Ace couldn't help but say, "Luffy didn't do evil, did he?"
Ethan: "Do you know how many bad criminals he has let go from Impel down? Do you know how much damage these bad guys have brought to the sea?"
Fire Fist Ace: "…"
Ethan: "I'm not mocking them. On the contrary, their morals are considered to be higher in the world. But even such people cannot be exempted from the truth – those with strength and power have privileges!"
Ethan: "Then the question… Since there must be someone in this world with privileges, why can't that person be me?"
