Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1436

Chapter 1418 Gentlemen, Times Have Changed

“Your Majesty the former king? What does this have to do with the old king?”

“It matters a lot. People are not born from stones. Some people don’t know who their parents are, but somewhere in the world, there must be traces of their parents’ existence.

Kaido is no exception. He was born in the Kingdom of Woka and was the strongest soldier in our kingdom. At that time, he was only ten years old, but he was already able to sweep the battlefield. “

Living longer does not necessarily make you stronger, but as long as there is no problem with your brain and you grow up in the same area, the longer you live, the more you know. The older generation of the entire Woka Kingdom cannot forget the name Kaido, and the former soldiers also remember the myth on the battlefield.

At this time, Kaido had already walked in front of them.

“What king? Long time no see. Is there anything you want to talk about?”

“The original decision was made by my father, it had nothing to do with me. I tried to stop him, but it was useless.”

“Huh? You’re not that old guy?”

Hearing the other party’s answer, Kaido looked at the other party curiously.

“My father died a long time ago. Probably when you were honored as the Emperor of the Sea, he died due to excessive anxiety over state affairs.”

“Excessive anxiety? Oh, so he was frightened to death?”

There are many countries on this sea, and the death of a king is not a big deal. At most, it will spread locally for a while.

Only a king like Cobra who died in a major event like the World Conference would become known to everyone. During that time, Kaido was busy fighting and didn’t pay much attention to the details of the Woka Kingdom.

When Maria’s father, White, drifted to Wano Country, the old king was still alive, so White did not bring any useful information.

Kaido knew that there had been a restoration of power in this country, and he had once lamented that the guy was good at political tactics. Now it seems that he was overthinking it.

“No, he was just overly anxious. He regretted what he did back then. He had to make that choice because of the pressure from the Navy and the World Government. Before he died, my father once said that he would apologize to you if he had the chance.”

The new king could hear his own rapid heartbeat in his ears, but he still tried to remain calm and told some lies.

No matter what, he couldn’t tell others that his father was scared to death by Kaido’s name. That would be too embarrassing.

And judging from the current situation, Kaido has no intention of killing anyone, and his vote rate is among the lowest among the hundreds of countries present.

From a realistic point of view, the only way for him to keep the throne is to let Kaido speak, so he decided to give it a try. After all, outsiders don’t know what his father said before he died.

After seeing Kaido’s rise, he also had complaints. It is impossible for ordinary people to force such a top combat force away from their own country.

“You can lie without changing your expression. You are much more cunning than your useless father.”

Kaido didn’t believe a word the man in front of him said. He had never forgotten how the king fawned for the right to participate in the meeting.

“But it doesn’t matter. I’m more curious about why you and him look so similar. Even if you are father and son, you shouldn’t look exactly the same.”

These two people are so similar that Kaido thought that even if the throne changed, he would be able to recognize the heir, but he didn’t expect that he had mistaken the other’s identity at first.

“I didn’t lie. As for the resemblance, isn’t it normal for a son to look like his father? Because of my father’s wrong decision, the Woka Kingdom has had a difficult time recently, so I look older.”

In fact, this was because his father died too suddenly and the cause of death was very bizarre. At that time, his relatives in the country were fighting for the throne. The reason was simple. The old king’s willful behavior led to the loss of Kaido, which led to the decline of the kingdom.

This line is no longer worthy of the throne. The old king can temporarily suppress the limelight while he is alive. If the news of the king’s death spreads at this time, the position of the new king will most likely fall into the hands of his uncle.

So he made up his mind and asked the doctor who treated his father to perform plastic surgery on him. He lived for several years with his father’s face before he consolidated his royal power. After that, he buried the “old king” and inherited the throne as a prince again.

In terms of ruthlessness and ability, he is stronger than his father, but he is also more tyrannical and cruel, and is not popular among the people.

“Hehe, you have a good attitude, and being able to lie is a skill.

But it’s meaningless. The old man is dead, and I don’t want to waste time talking to you. You’ve heard it before, right? Your throne is decided by the people of your own country. Now it’s not my place to do this.”

“You must be kidding, you are the captain of this pirate group, right?”

“Times have changed, the old way of thinking doesn’t work anymore, and it’s clear that there are people who are better at management than me.

Of course, if you want to hear some polite words, I can give you one too. I just happen to think you are quite interesting.

Even if you want to make up for the mistakes you made back then, do you think that justice delayed is still justice?”

Occasionally when he was drunk, Kaido would imagine what he would become if the king had not betrayed him.

What would my future be like if I hadn’t boarded Rocks’ ship?

In the end, he still couldn’t come up with a solution, so he just let it go. However, he always believed that revenge must be taken, and that what has been done cannot be undone.

“Well, well, Kaido, this brat has changed too much.”

Charlotte Linlin looked at Kaido with a lot of thoughts in her mind. When she met Kaido in the past, they either drank or fought, and the time for discussing things was very short. It was basically left to his subordinates to communicate the details.

It has been a long time since I spent time observing Kaido’s changes.

[Kaido, watch out, this is how you use Haki.]

[This is the move of Elbaf from the Wei Kingdom. If you want to learn it, I will teach you.]

That was the time on Rocks’ ship. Although Kaido, who had just boarded the ship, had already made a name for himself on the sea, he was still a little weak compared to this group of monsters.

The strength a person gains through brute force also lacks skills. At that time, Charlotte Linlin taught him a lot, so even though she kept talking about that great favor, Kaido had no intention of turning his back on her and his attitude towards the BIG MOM Pirates was already very good.

During that brief period, Kaido also called her “Sister Lingling”, but that period was very short, and after that Kaido began to call her by her name directly.

Kaido’s essence remains unchanged, but Charlotte Linlin can feel that the young man who felt that nothing mattered and could destroy anything at will has found his goal.

At the same time, some people were looking at Charlotte Linling. Due to Arceus’ voting mechanism, a very strange phenomenon appeared on the scene. The more green the kings had on their bodies, the more respected they were by the people.

Charlotte Lingling is mainly green. Judging from the degree of green, it is at least over 70%. After all, outsiders cannot see the number of votes for others.

“Charlotte Lingling, really unexpected”

There is more than one big pirate here. Kaido and Red Hair are both stronger than Charlotte Linlin. Logically, Charlotte Linlin would not be the focus, but there is a special exception among the many kings-Odin.

Charlotte Linlin has a very bad reputation in the land of giants. First, she went mad as a child and caused the death of a legendary old giant. Then her daughter escaped from marriage, and the fake daughter was discovered, which broke the heart of the prince of the land of giants.

The relationship between the two had long since reached a freezing point. If the current situation wasn’t very special, Odin would never appear in the same occasion with Charlotte Linling.

What Odin didn’t expect was that Charlotte Linlin, who was regarded as the evil god who brought destruction in Elbaf, had a high support rate in her own territory.

After all, the biggest destabilizing factor on Cake Island is Charlotte Linling herself. After excluding this accident, the order in the Kingdom of Totland is quite good. For the people living there, the price is to overdraw part of their own lives in exchange for the current stability.

Compared to the chaos in the outside world, Charlotte Lingling’s protection made their lives much better.

Moreover, many of her children are very kind to the residents of the territory. In the original timeline, the Straw Hats captured Brulee when they were operating on Cake Island and entered her mirror world.

The BIG MOM Pirates then began to destroy mirrors all over the island. When some people felt sorry for the valuable mirrors, they suggested a solution of throwing them into the sea first and fishing them out after it was over.

Compared with the kings outside, this place is far superior to the outside world except for the bad name. However, this is not something Odin can understand. Elbaf has had an intuitive prejudice against Charlotte Linlin many years ago.

Odin would be curious about her, but would not change his original idea.

There are so many countries, and many of them have feuds. Even if an alliance is formed, the hatred will not disappear and the war will stop temporarily, but the exchanges between countries are destined not to be so harmonious.

As time passed, Misu’s complicated new order had been roughly read out, and the key points had been put forward. In addition to the original order of the country, the biggest problem was naturally pirates and the navy.

Now Kuzan is reorganizing a new navy. Compared with the complexity of the pirate group, the navy is much easier to rebuild. There are far more people who want to maintain order here than pirates, but they need a real order rather than the wrong power rule.

After dealing with the high-level navy, it is not complicated to curb the naval actions at the grassroots level. At least now most of the naval bases are playing the role of continuing maintenance.

Compared to these people, the most serious issue is to curb pirates. Kaido completely ended the great pirate era created by Roger in his own way, but the pirate group did not disappear because of this situation.

There are only a few people in the entire ocean who truly aim to become the Pirate King and just want to find Roger’s treasure. That’s just an excuse. More people go out to sea just to plunder.

No matter who the ruler is, it does not affect their continued plundering of the sea and indulging in their own lives.

This part of the unrest needs to be eliminated, but what is more important is to curb this kind of thinking at the source.

The new system is a way. Even if they can’t live in abundance, as long as they can have enough food and warm clothes, the number of new pirates will drop significantly.

This also takes time. As for now, the only thing they can rely on is force. Under the deterrence of absolute force, many pirates have temporarily calmed down, but some people want to take advantage of Kaido’s meeting in Marijoa to seize the time to make a big deal.

But before these people could do anything, they were stopped on the sea.

In a certain sea area, the pirates on a pirate ship were shouting slogans excitedly, planning to start a new wave of looting, but the sky in front of them suddenly cracked open.

Black wings, white hair, brown skin, several Lunarians appeared in front of them.

Not long ago, on Onigashima, Katsuyori, Emrido and Akonome held hands and launched a large-scale future observation, in order to predict the places that might be attacked by pirates.

Now the expansion of the Reverse World has been completed. Under the control of Giratina’s power, the Reverse World can connect to any place in the real world.

Identify the attacker and send out blockers, this is the most direct method.

Such large-scale prediction of the future is not often used. It is just that now that order has been initially established, this method has been used in order to curb the unrest as quickly as possible.

After all, the future is subject to change. Although predicting the future allows us to see what will happen in the future, the moment it is predicted, everything becomes subject to change.

[You are not parasites like the Celestial Dragons. You have already disappeared from the world, but now you have returned to reality. Although you are my family, you still have to do something in the new world.]

On this day, there were no attacks on the sea, which was unusual. According to the recollections of some eyewitnesses, the black-winged angel cut off the pirate flag, and the rekindled holy fire truly protected the area from harm.

In addition, above Gulan Tesoro, a meeting originally held in the underground world was also being held simultaneously, but the people who came here were not so willing in nature.

“Tezoro! What do you want to do? Are you going to do it so soon?!”

They are all businessmen from the underground world. From the day they saw Baishou win, they realized something and they would not continue trading in the underground world as they did in the past.

Because the existence of this trading market is affecting normal economic trade, the beasts will take action against them sooner or later, but the speed and means are far beyond their expectations.

They were originally hiding in their own safe houses, but suddenly a black circle appeared under their feet. When they came to their senses, they had been teleported to Gulan Tesoro, who was also waiting for them here.

Hoopa’s random fixed-point teleportation is quite convenient. At this time, it is not complicated to lock on to someone, and these people are powerless to resist the spatial force from Hoopa.

The establishment of a new regime is inevitably accompanied by a cleansing of the past. Even if there has been cooperation before, the position will naturally change when the situation changes.

“Don’t be so nervous, everyone. Although the means used to get you here were a bit rough and direct, we are not ruthless.

You are also aware of the way we trade, but now everything has changed, so I can give you a chance to give up your original business. Things like arms smuggling no longer need to exist in the new world.

But under our supervision, you can do some legitimate business. Now that the world is connected, there are still many opportunities to make money.

We just need you to be subject to our supervision, and do business legally and conscientiously. Although you will earn a lot less, it will not affect your lives too much. After all, compared with those who have done evil, you can be regarded as “good people.”

If you accept, then everyone is happy and we can discuss the future together.

If you don’t accept it, then I’ll just ask you to disappear.”

Rather than determining who the king is, the people of the Beasts focus more on military force and economic issues. As long as they have these two points in their hands, any problems that arise can be controlled.

The various Pokémon with authority are enough to defend order and ensure the stability of the framework, while economic issues are related to the future people’s livelihood.
