The Pirate Garen - #457 - Chapter 452: Peaceful Evolution
after a long time
Tikki finally stopped his heartfelt wailing.
After venting his extreme emotions, he also completely accepted this cruel reality.
In the end, Tiki glanced at Galen bitterly, and he didn’t want to take another look at the man who pushed him into the abyss of good people.
“Ace, let’s go”
Tiqi shook his head weakly and sighed:
“We should go back.”
As he said that, Tiki was about to take Ace to leave Wano Country, as far away from that hideous Galen as possible.
“etc.”
Galen called them out suddenly, and said without thinking:
“Brother Tiki, Brother Ace.”
“It just so happens that you are here, I have something to ask you to take back to Senior White Beard.”
Tiki’s eyes were empty and his expression was low, like a walking dead who had lost his soul.
He didn’t care about Galen at all, and he didn’t respond to Galen’s words.
Ace didn’t understand the entanglement between Tiki and Galen until now, but temporarily hid the confusion in his heart, and asked seriously following Galen’s words:
“To the old man with white beard?”
“Brother Galen, what do you want us to say?”
“Is such that.”
Galen straightened his expression, and said to Ace solemnly:
“Ace, I believe you also know that the League of Legends has been officially established.”
“And the significance of the existence of the alliance is to overthrow the three mountains of pirates, nobles, and the world government that are pressing on the people of the world.”
“Not only do we want to fight against the world government, but we also have absolutely zero tolerance for pirate activities.”
“So, you Whitebeard Pirates”
“What?!”
Ace faintly heard something was wrong, and couldn’t help but turn pale with shock:
“Brother Galen, don’t you want to attack our Whitebeard Pirates?”
The downfall of Big Mom and Kaido made the melon-eaters in the sea speculate whether Galen will continue to attack the next Four Emperors after they are full.
But the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates all know that Galen has a good relationship with Ace and Tiki, and the two families have never had any excessive conflicts, so they are not very worried that Galen will turn his face and deny anyone.
However, hearing what Galen said now, Ace immediately felt a little flustered.
And Tiqi, who had been completely turned into a salted fish, was finally aroused by this sudden change, and couldn’t help casting a slightly shocked look at Galen.
“of course not.”
Galen temporarily calmed Ace’s emotions, and explained in detail:
“The friendly relationship between the Alliance and the Whitebeard Pirates has always been stable. How could I turn my face and deny anyone?”
“Moreover, what you Whitebeard Pirates are doing is a serious business of operating territories and protecting civilians, which is different from the kind of pirates defined by our alliance.”
Although the pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates hold a skull flag, they never engage in the dirty business of robbing houses, and only live by collecting protection fees.
Moreover, the protection fee they charge is ten times cheaper than the world government’s heavenly gold, and the protection of civilians in the territory is ten times stronger than that of the navy.
Except for a few supernovas who will pop up in two years and always want to make some big news, there are really no pirates who dare to make trouble on Whitebeard’s territory.
Thanks to this, the residents of Whitebeard’s territory gained hard-won peace in this chaotic new world.
Therefore, that sea area was clearly an extrajudicial place occupied by pirates, but instead it was managed by Whitebeard, the big pirate leader, to give it a taste of troubled times.
Facing these fake pirates, Galen was really embarrassed to speak with his fists simply and rudely like he did with Big Mom and Kaido before.
However, the problem of unifying the new world still needs to be solved after all.
“Although you have a good style, you are still a pirate organization in name after all.”
Galen slowed down and said in a gentle tone:
“If our alliance wants to completely crack down on pirate activities, leaving such a large pirate group in the new world will definitely have a bad impact.”
“So, I would like to invite you to join the League of Legends.”
“What?”
Out of love for the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace is vigilant as if he has persecution paranoia:
“You want to annex our Whitebeard Pirates?!”
“No.”
“Annexation by force is the last thing our alliance wants to see.”
Galen shook his head and gave Ace a solution:
“We will not touch the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, their property, or the territory under their jurisdiction.”
“You just need to join the League of Legends and admit that you are a part of the League.”
“That’s not OK.”
Ace was not moved by this favorable condition at all, but shook his head decisively:
“Let’s not be pirates, but be heroes in the alliance?”
“Father and brothers will never agree.”
Although what they usually do is basically heroic things, these fake pirates have always stubbornly believed that pirates are a symbol of freedom, and they must guard their identity as pirates no matter what.
This made Galen feel very headache.
He can easily beat the kid who wants to be the Pirate King into One Piece, but he can’t beat a pirate group as big as the Whitebeard Pirates with three punches and two kicks.
Therefore, Galen could only come up with a compromise with the idea of trying not to tear his face and trigger armed conflict:
“You don’t need to change your face to be a hero.”
“As long as you recognize the identity of the members of the alliance, abide by the laws of the alliance, and insist on not engaging in criminal activities as before, you can continue to hang the pirate flag and call yourself the Whitebeard Pirates.”
“Our alliance will not interfere with the internal affairs of your Whitebeard Pirates.”
“According to my vision, in the future we will set up a special zone for the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World.”
“In the area ruled by the alliance, the justice system of Demacia is implemented; while in the Whitebeard Pirate Special Zone, the pirate management system is temporarily implemented.”
This compromise is a solution that Galen came up with based on the actual situation.
What Galen longed for was a unified country, and he didn’t like this kind of country within a country resulting from political compromise.
Because he wants to build an ideal unified country, since the establishment of the League of Legends, Galen has not even spared his father-in-law Neptune in the revolutionary cause against the aristocracy.
After the relocation of the Fishman Island, King Neptune voluntarily handed over the power of the royal family under Galen’s persuasion, only retaining the honorary title of the king and a mansion in Dragon Palace City as his residence, and no longer interfered with the political affairs of the Fishman Island.
Like other kings who took the initiative to cooperate with the Alliance, King Neptune joined the Heroes’ Association under the Alliance after “retirement” and became a glorious member of the Association.
Of course, there are also some kings who are unwilling to cooperate under the rule of the alliance.
These diehards and reactionaries who refused to give up their privileges were naturally drowned in the vast ocean of the people’s war.
Anyway, there are few nobles who are clean under their buttocks, especially these diehards who are greedy for power until their death.
A random search can find countless black materials that are enough to sentence them to death ten times.
However, Whitebeard is different.
Not only is he too strong to be dealt with, but he also has no black material to attack.
After much deliberation, Galen finally decided to use the method of one alliance, two systems to unify the new world first.
“You’re going to annex us sooner or later, right?”
Tiqi explained Galen’s ultimate goal in one word.
He was in a low mood, and watching Galen’s long speech made Ace stunned for a while, Tiqi couldn’t help but add a little embarrassment to Galen:
“Papa Whitebeard is getting old, and sooner or later he will die before you.”
“Will you still support our next captain to continue in charge of this so-called Whitebeard Pirate Special Zone?”
Although Tiqi is obviously adding to the blockage, what he said is indeed very reasonable:
With the downfall of the world government, the alliance will surely rise to become a super power capable of controlling the whole world, and the piracy trend in the sea will sooner or later become a thing of the past.
In the face of this vast world trend, once the Whitebeard Pirates lose the backbone of Whitebeard, they will definitely fall into chaos.
At that time, as long as Galen comes forward to obstruct it, he can easily make the Whitebeard Pirates no longer have a next captain.
However, Galen’s specific thoughts were not as insidious and crude as Teach guessed:
“Brother Tiqi, you are very unprofessional in asking this question.”
Galen completely ignored Tiqi’s accusation, and just said solemnly:
“I said before that the Alliance will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Whitebeard Pirates.”
“You ask me if I support it, and I definitely support it.”
“If you elect the next captain after the death of Senior Whitebeard, then he is the captain of your Whitebeard Pirates, how can we not support it?”
“but.”
Galen no longer concealed his final purpose, but asked directly:
“If after many, many years, Senior Whitebeard is gone, and your old brothers are gone, will the Whitebeard Pirates still be the original Whitebeard Pirates?”
“At that time, do you still need to put up that skull flag again?”
“.”
Ace was silent for a while, and Tiki couldn’t help Galen any more.
“yes.”
Ace sighed softly, and he also understood the weapon Galen really used to deal with their Whitebeard Pirates:
time.
Galen doesn’t need to rush to annex the Whitebeard Pirates completely, time will naturally bring him the final victory.
Whitebeard himself is over seventy years old, and most of the main captains in the regiment are also around forty or fifties.
Galen is only in his early twenties this year, and he is strong enough to survive the vicissitudes of life, watching the main players of the Whitebeard Pirates pass away one by one.
For Ace and others, the Whitebeard Pirates are not actually pirates, but an irreplaceable home.
With the family members gone, there is only an empty shell left in this family, and there is no need to continue to exist.
Not to mention, without the group of old pirates who are determined to hang the skull flag, how can the remaining young people like to wear a pirate hat around?
“I see.”
Ace nodded, and finally agreed with Galen’s idea of peaceful evolution:
“I’ll let the old man with the white beard think carefully about this matter.”
