Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1433

Chapter 1415: The King’s Departure or Stay is Determined by the People

Chapter 1415: The king’s stay or departure is decided by the people.
Kaido’s words dealt a heavy blow to the kings present. They thought that Kaido would emphasize his own status, let the beasts become the dominant ones, and even prepared treasures as tribute.

However, they didn’t expect that Kaido’s goal was far bigger than they thought.

If it is just extortion of wealth, it will not affect these people. Wealth conflicts can always be transferred, and enough wealth can be collected from the citizens of the country.

If Kaido can truly curb the pirates on the sea and make trade more convenient, then offering treasures will not be a big deal, since he had to pay Heavenly Gold in the past anyway.

This is not normal taxation, but extra funds collected by the World Government specifically for the Celestial Dragons. It has little impact on them who gets the money.

But looking at Kaido’s attitude, he wants to make changes to the system, which will have a greater impact than even changing the king.

However, when faced with the option of defeating him proposed by Kaido, no one dared to respond. The titles of the world’s strongest creature, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, and the strongest in the world were all attached to Kaido.

Although he was arrested several times when he was young, Kaido has been almost an undefeated legend in recent years. No one wants to be the first to stand out and try whether Kaido’s mace is hard enough.

In previous world conferences, the World Government was also the absolute authority, but they had never used such a direct attitude. Kaido directly refreshed their cognition.

However, the system currently proposed by Kaido has many people supporting it.

There are not only the original member states here, but also a much larger number of non-member states and countries that have long accepted Kaido’s protection.

Non-member countries are very supportive of this system. Although members of the member countries are still unable to avoid this crisis, the harm rate in non-member countries is obviously greater.

Countries that have long been protected by Kaido don’t have to worry about this problem. After all, the human trafficking groups will not approach this sea area. As everyone knows, Olga hates this group very much. Until the final war began, she was still hunting this group of people.

When they saw the flag of the Hundred Beasts, they didn’t even have time to run away, let alone get close.

And these countries are also the first to cater to Kaido.

“Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. It’s just about abolishing slavery. Isn’t this the way it should be?”

There is only one country that calls Kaido “Ming Wang” – Wano Country, and the person who spoke is naturally Kozuki Hiyori. Let alone abolishing slavery, as she said before, even if Kaido wanted to directly abolish all royal power, she would be the first to support it.

After so many years, she has come to terms with many things. The position of general is just a constraint for her, and being free may be better.

“That’s right. Does a country need to rely on slaves for development? This system should have been completely abolished long ago. Unlike the group of Celestial Dragons before, they said one thing and did another.”

“Yes, yes, I think this is a good suggestion. Can you think of any reason to refuse it?”

A few supporters could make the meeting go more smoothly. Setsuna and Neptune were the first to respond. With someone taking the lead, even if they were already flying Kaido’s flag, it gave others a reason to take over.

If it was just about abolishing slavery, they really had no reason to refuse. Even in the era of the Celestial Dragons, the slave trade was banned, but it was only banned on paper.

Right under the nose of the World Government, there is the largest human auction house in the ocean on the Sabaody Archipelago, but in the eyes of the navy, it is called the Human Career Referral Center.

Just by changing the name, something that was banned became legal.

Compared with the prohibition on paper, the clause of buying and selling as equal crime seems to better reflect Kaido’s thoughts. The kings of minority races were the first to respond, and in this regard, they themselves were more likely to be persecuted.

“Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, the old guy from the Long Hands, what’s the situation with that werewolf? Is she a king too?”

“The Duke of the Furry Principality, or the Queen if you will, has long been under the command of the Beasts. But even without this clause, it is reasonable for the Furry King to support this.”

“A bunch of low-level races, these heretics are really capable of causing trouble. They actually let these guys appear in the same venue with us. They are indeed pirates.”

Complaining and whispering to each other, these kings had completely different reactions, but it was not hard to see that the higher the proportion of slaves in a country, the more opinions there were.

“Wow, this big guy seems to be a good person. It sounds like a very good policy.”

On the shoulders of King Riku, members of the Tontata tribe stood. The attribute of this race was that they were too naive. There seemed to be no lies in their hearts. They would believe even what strangers said.

Of course, if they realize they have been scammed, they will not continue to fall for it.

“It sounds good, but how far it can go is still unknown.”

Dressrosa is a country that has been deeply persecuted by pirates and destroyed by legal pirates, so they lack trust in both pirates and the World Government.

It was just that Zekrom and Reshiram who appeared out of nowhere that day broke the deadlock, so they still had some hope for the future.

“What? Is there no one here? I can give you some time to think. I’ll be waiting here for you. If you want to take action, you don’t need to notify me. You can just sneak attack directly.”

As Kaido said that, he found a relatively open place and lay down on the ground carelessly. He had no intention of guarding against them at all. In his opinion, no one present could do anything to him even if they attacked him together.

Of course, he had to delete his own people first. Not to mention Arceus, even this dear daughter had the ability to break his defense directly.

Kaido’s departure midway caused a commotion among the many royals below, because now Misu was standing over with a loudspeaker, and in the middle of a speech, the person speaking changed from a boss to an “ordinary” woman, which was also a strange thing in their eyes.

But Misu didn’t care about such things. Whether it was confusion or indignation, they didn’t care about such things.

“My Lords, I am Misu, a nun of the Cult of Arceus. Mr. Kaido has just listed some things, so next, I will tell you about the future in more detail.

The situations and national conditions of each island are different, and you all have your own adaptation models. Except for taboos such as the slave trade, we will not take a one-size-fits-all approach, but will gradually make changes based on actual conditions that are more suitable for the general public.

We will not collect gold from heaven, only a reasonable tax to maintain daily expenses. Of course, the most important thing is that under the glory of the Lord, we will use the most fair way to decide whether your throne can be retained.

You’d better pray that what you do in your daily life is recognized by your fellow citizens.”

Misu’s words at this time have not been understood by the people below. There are so many people in this world, how can the beasts know whether they are recognized by the people.

Even if they went to investigate, these kings were confident that they could show them a fixed picture. They did not have the ability to rule the world, but they could still control speech, sight and hearing in their own countries.

“The glory of the Lord has long been revealed, and the world has seen the true face of the Lord. However, destruction is only the most insignificant part of the power of the Lord. Everyone, choose, choose who in your mind is the qualified king.”

What happened a few days ago happened again, and the mysterious power reappeared in people’s hearts, but unlike before, now they still have the right to choose.

The world has undergone tremendous changes. With hundreds of islands, hundreds of regimes, and different political systems, it is impossible for the current beasts to find so many people who can serve as kings at once.

They are good at fighting with Kaido, they are good at charging into battle, and they can find the right people to manage the operation of an island, but when it comes to a complete political power, it is not so easy.

Use public opinion to eliminate some of the evil kings, and then use their people to carry out layer-by-layer supervision, gradually adapting the system according to local conditions.

The deterrence of military force is indispensable in the early stage. The military force of the beasts will become the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. As time goes by, the new management system will gradually mature, and the ties between countries will become closer.

This is not a battle of feud like the one with the Celestial Dragons, but a new order born for development and change. Blood will always flow, but there is no need to let it become a river.

First we need to identify the king’s problem, and then we will gradually clean up the internal problems of each country. This is a very long project.

These kings didn’t know what the future would be like, but they still didn’t expect that the beasts would go so far. This was clearly telling the people here that some people would be deprived of their thrones.

If the people of these countries are willing, they can naturally choose a new king. However, at that point, the elected king and the permanent inherited royal power will be completely different.

After all, this “election” is not just one. Even if the king wants to be replaced in the future, he will have to go through it again. Without the right of hereditary succession, the changes in royal power are not slight.

More than 60% recognition is considered qualified, 40% to 60% requires assessment, and below 40% will be deprived of the throne. Misu stated the ratio lightly. After all, people’s hearts are different, and it is quite difficult to get everyone’s recognition.

Even if a king is a truly hardworking and wise king, there will be people who are dissatisfied with what he does. If his behavior is extreme, even if what he does is beneficial to the country, he will still be criticized. After all, most people can only see the little piece of land in front of them.

“Don’t worry, my kings. We are not simply making a one-size-fits-all decision. Even if you are deprived of your throne today, we will still go to your country to conduct an investigation. Only after we have determined the national conditions will we make the final decision.

Similarly, even if you get the approval of the people, we will still observe all this. Today is just the beginning, not the end. “

The words were spoken softly, but they spread throughout the world. Not only the royal family present, but people all over the world had a magical feeling about it.

“We decide whether the king should stay or go?”

In the green wheat field, a farmer stood there blankly.

“The king personally provided relief for the last drought. He should be considered a good king.”

There are quite a few such people. In most cases, ordinary people cannot come into contact with the king, unless he is extremely wise or extremely evil, in which case his reputation will be known throughout the country.

In this situation, many people cast their votes without knowing the answer, which is why a subsequent secondary review is needed.

It is equivalent to the difference between the first instance and the second instance.

Green means passed and red means failed. Relatively speaking, the number of green ones is higher than that of red ones, especially for countries that are not member states. They are not protected by the World Government, and their kings need stronger abilities.

Many people were elected by local people, so they naturally passed the review, and as kings, they could even see their own support rate.

“Ninety percent. It seems that many people are still not satisfied with what I have done.”

“Only 50%? That’s really hard to handle.”

The kings each had different ideas in their minds, but the kings who had passed the probation period could still accept it. They knew clearly what they had done in their daily lives. As long as the beasts did not find some false accusations, their positions would be stable.

Some ambitious kings aimed to make their people better and had no worries about it.

However, the expressions of some kings who received very low votes were a little ugly, especially those who felt good about themselves, but the reality gave them a head-on blow.

For example, Sterley of the Kingdom of Goa, looking at the 80% of votes against, he simply couldn’t believe that these were all true.

“How is this possible? How is this possible? All those nobles support me.”

Sterley was not wrong, the nobles did support him to become the new king, but the Kingdom of Goa was not just made up of nobles. Compared to these very few nobles and the rich people in the upper city, the countless civilians in the Uncertain Terminal were the largest component of the country.

Stelly, who usually regarded them as garbage, could not get the support of these people at all. Moreover, those who left their hometowns but were born in the Kingdom of Goa were also counted in the voting range of the Kingdom of Goa.

In order to welcome the Celestial Dragons, the Goa Kingdom set a fire and wanted to empty the entire garbage station. The dragons rescued many people from the fire, and these people were the main force against the Goa Kingdom’s regime.

“I don’t accept it! Why should I let those lowly people decide my throne? They don’t deserve it! I was born to live for the royal family. I want to be a noble, a noble above everyone else. You have no right to deprive me of my throne!!”

Staley realized how large the scope of this vote was. Although there was still a review, he did not believe that a review would change the result. Those present also knew that today’s result almost meant the future.

Seeing that everything he had was about to be taken away from him, Staley could no longer remain calm and immediately asked angrily.

“Isn’t this all your fault? You used to treat them like dirt, so naturally they wouldn’t support you.

In the past, you could declare them guilty based on their words, because you were stronger then. But now you are the weak one. When such a thing happens to you, can’t you accept it?

This is a sin you committed in the past, and what is happening now is you paying for it.”

Sterley is not a big shot here. Kaido and Arceus don’t even bother to look at him. Even if he is talking nonsense, he is just treated as a clown.

Even Misu didn’t seem angry, she just stated the facts in the same gentle tone as before.

“There are bound to be a lot of trash among the royal family, and this is part of the judgment. As I said before, we won’t do anything because of your misconduct. If this is a misjudgment, you are still the king.

But you know very well what you have done on a daily basis. You will probably be judged by the law. Now, you, the king, must know what the suffering of the people is. “

The two men came to Staley at some point, and after grabbing him, they didn’t care what he said. They just took off his crown and blocked his mouth.

In a sense, this is saving him. If he says something disrespectful again, the trial may become a scene clearance after verification.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, but there had already been the bloody lesson of the Celestial Dragons. Except for a few people like Stelly who lost their minds in the face of huge benefits, the others did not take any action even though they were put on the red list.

Although everything seems peaceful now, and Sister Misu’s position can make some people feel relieved temporarily, they are not blind. Just last month, many people here were wanted criminals, and they were the ones with the highest bounty.

Arceus, Kaido, Yamato, Charlotte Linlin, Shanks, and Dragon, the bounties of this group of people add up to tens of billions. This bounty is not earned by helping old ladies cross the street, but is real destructive power.

What they didn’t expect was that Staley was still alive and well, but was just temporarily locked up.

“Okay, everyone. This is just a small episode. There are many more rules for the future. These are specific taboos. Please do not violate them no matter who you are.

This year is the 1522nd year of the Haiyuan calendar, and also the 33rd year of the Sheng calendar. The future will eventually become better, and the pain caused by past wars will be healed. All of this is closely related to the power of the Lord. “

The members of the Cult of Arceus did not designate this year as the first year, but rather the year when Arceus officially appeared on the sea as the first year.

These words were not just spoken to the king present, but to the whole world.

The world is big, and people far away have not yet realized what has happened here, but those who are anxiously waiting for news in the Sabaody Archipelago and the ruins of Red Harbor have seen an unforgettable scene.

“What is that bird?”

“Phoenix? Phoenix? Wait, how come the wound on my hand healed?”

A rainbow streaked across the sky, and a mysterious giant bird was flapping its wings and flying in the sky. Wherever the light fell, the injuries were dispelled at this moment.

Secular kings would look for auspicious signs to declare their legitimacy, but Arceus did not need to do that. These so-called miracles could have been created by him.
