Akainu revived the World Government, redefined the world aristocracy system, abolished a series of laws of the League of Nations, and was officially appointed as the Marshal of the Army after Zefa announced the crusade against Mary Geoise...
On the World Government Headquarters Building, Akainu looked at the civilians and merchants on the street, and walked on both sides of the road according to the previous regulations of the World Government. After seeing the Celestial Dragons walking in the middle, they all prostrated themselves on the ground. It was a pity that although many of the Celestial Dragons had hidden their isolation suits and masks, some of them had not yet replenished their "slave mounts" for a while, and they had been released or imprisoned by the League of Nations before.
However, most of them immediately had slave mounts again, and they didn't know where they were caught from...
Although Zefa directly ignored the previous private transactions and announced the crusade against the restoration forces of the old world government in Mary Geoise, Akainu was very pleased to see the scene in front of him, thinking that everyone was still loyal to the old world government, otherwise how could they return to the original rules so quickly?
Moreover, after Akainu announced the reorganization of the World Government, it was not that there was no one who supported it. Some members of the old World Government, as well as some royal families and nobles of various countries who had not experienced revolution in the local area, supported the revival of the World Government!
Although the League of Nations interfered less in the internal affairs of various countries, and also reduced the "Heavenly Gold", only requiring the payment of normal taxes, but... there was an additional "basic principle".
The League of Nations was more ruthless than the previous World Government in promoting the "basic principles", forcing all countries to abide by them, mostly emphasizing racial equality, the abolition of slavery, the protection of basic human rights, and restrictions on the ransom system.
Unlike the previous World Government, as long as enough Heavenly Gold was paid, some "internal affairs" could be solved by themselves without restrictions.
Therefore, for some nobles who had been domineering for a long time and had not been defeated by internal revolutionary forces before the establishment of the League of Nations, the basic principles of the League of Nations made them very unhappy.
Although after the revival of the World Government, there are more Celestial Dragons to oppress them, but at the same time, they can also oppress the civilians in the country as before. As long as the "Celestial Dragons" do not come, they are the "Celestial Dragons" of their own country...
Isn't it just paying more gold from heaven? Without the restrictions of basic principles, those untouchables can still squeeze oil at will!
However, because of the previous revolutionary movement that started with the Railway Protection Alliance against the World Government, and Marinford fired the first shot, sweeping the sea, there are not many such royal families and nobles, and most of them have disappeared in the revolutionary wave.
Akainu looked at the list of letters of support, as well as Zefa's manifesto and the list of responses to Zefa, and had a headache for a while.
After the dissolution of the World Government, isn't the sea more chaotic? Not as good as the previous 800 years!
If justice is not absolute, it is absolutely unjust. Only "absolute justice" is the truth. Why don't these people understand?
At this moment, Stirles knocked on the door outside. After Akainu let him in, he saw Stirles's ugly face and frowned and asked, "What? Are you afraid that Zephyr is going to attack us?"
"No, even Zephyr can't stop us from upholding 'absolute justice'. If we want to fight... let's fight! But... Marshal Sakaski, Admiral Fujitora who was recruited before, refused the reward and submitted his resignation." Stirles said helplessly.
Akainu's face turned angry when he heard this. The second strongest person in the old navy now is not Stirles, Akainu's deputy, but Fujitora Ichisho, who stood out from the navy that Akainu recruited and expanded under the banner of the World Government before the dissolution of the World Government!
Although he joined not long ago, he was promoted to vice admiral by Akainu before coming to Marijoa, and was promoted to admiral after the restoration was successful. Who knew that the other party would not appreciate it at all...
"What did he say? Why didn't he come to see me in person?" Akainu said angrily.
"Admiral Fujitora... ahem, Fujitora has left, and he said that if you were an admiral of the League of Nations before, he would be a comrade with the same ideals as you, but now that the World Government has been revived, you are... a slave of the Celestial Dragons, and he has become your slave again. He is blind but not blind in his heart, and he is unwilling to be a slave of a slave..." Stirres repeated Fujitora's words.
With Fujitora's strength, he wanted to leave Marijoa, where people were uneasy now, and Stirres did not dare to stop him.
Akainu listened to Stirres' words, his face turned blue and purple, but he knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter, so he did not order Fujitora to be captured back. It was enough that the other party did not turn against him at the last minute...
He just arranged for several other promoted generals to replace Fujitora's work.
At this time, the original navy led by Aokiji was approaching Marijoa, and Akainu made arrangements and personally led the team to the shore of the port to set up a defense line, ready to fight with Aokiji, his old comrade and old rival!
As for Zephyr... because some royal families of countries that resisted the basic principles jumped out at this time, it gave him an excuse.
Originally, in order to maintain stability, as long as the royal families of various countries joined the League of Nations, they would be recognized and treated as Celestial Dragons in disguise.
The revolutionary armies that existed in various countries but had not seized power were also appeased and mediated.
Now that some royal families want to restore the throne with the Celestial Dragons, Zephyr undoubtedly saw an opportunity and decided to destroy all the royal families who agreed to the restoration, replace them with officials of the League of Nations, and turn them into direct vassal states...
Not only did it solve the unstable factors, but it could also increase the scope of power of Marijoa and enhance the strength of the core of the League of Nations.
Therefore, while Aokiji went to Marijoa, Zephyr took a large army and entered the East China Sea and the South China Sea near the Grand Line to "beat all those who refused to obey"...
For example, the Kingdom of Goa, which was originally a relatively large kingdom in the East China Sea, the hometown of Dragon, Luffy, Sabo and others, was beaten by the revolutionary army in the wave of revolution last year and changed its flag. However, because the cunning rabbit has three burrows, the royal family actually escaped.
When the President of the University of Space wanted to use the power of the fruit of erasure to make a desperate attempt to raise a large amount of "Gold in the Sky", the exiled Goa royal family offered all the gold they had hidden beforehand and accumulated by exploiting the people for hundreds of years. As a result, they received the support of the President of the University of Space, and a part of the new army was allocated to the Goa royal family to restore the country...
Although only a small part of the territory was restored, at least they returned to the ranks of the royal family.
Of course... Having used up all the savings of the people in the past to gain the opportunity to restore the country, the Goa royal family must of course exploit and enjoy it more vigorously.
However, they were restricted by the "basic principles" and could not go too far.
Therefore, after the news of Akainu's restoration came, the Goa royal family immediately responded with joy. Because of their active response, they were announced as "candidates for key observation of Celestial Dragons" by the restored World Government. It is said that if they perform well during the observation period, they can recognize a line of Celestial Dragons as their ancestors and move their whole family to Marijoa...
However, just as the Goa royal family was preparing to show their "merits" during the observation period, building a gorgeous palace and practicing the most standard etiquette, Zephyr attacked!
The Spring and Autumn Dream lasted only three days before Zephyr's neo navy completely expelled the Goa Kingdom, and the country was destroyed!
At this time, Aokiji had already started a battle with Akainu's old navy at the port of Marijoa...
Zephyr was also calculating the time. He just wanted to take advantage of Aokiji's intense battle in Marijoa, not to give Aokiji the first credit for defeating Akainu's restoration...
Otherwise, he would not have kept an eye on these "small families", but ignored the big fish, G8 Fortress and Vice Admiral Jonathan, between the Road Protection Alliance and Alabasta!
Jonathan is the top faction in the local faction that supports Akainu's restoration, but he was caught and beaten by Crocodile for this.
Entrenched in Alabasta, constantly absorbing refugees from all over the world due to revolution, natural disasters, and barren land, Crocodile joined forces with Moria, and his foundation became more solid. As long as the G8 Fortress is defeated, the surrounding old world government forces relying on Jonathan will be leaderless, and one-third of the "paradise" will be included under his influence.
Therefore, Crocodile had long disliked Jonathan, but later the League of Nations was established and the situation stabilized, so there was no chance to start a war. This time Jonathan stood up to support Akainu's restoration, but not only did he not help his friend Akainu, but he was beaten by Crocodile...
However, as the largest branch of the Navy, the G8 Fortress is not given for nothing. Even if Crocodile used force to break the trick, it can still barely support it.
This is also the reason why Zephyr did not personally trouble him. If he was delayed too much in the G8 Fortress and was really suppressed by Aokiji, his reputation as the "leader" would be dimmed a bit.
Although Aokiji was also Zephyr's student when he was a recruit, now from the faction structure of the old world government, in addition to the restoration faction that has become an "orphan", the strongest is the neo faction headed by Zephyr, and the original navy faction represented by Sengoku and Lucci. The actual leader of the latter has gradually transitioned to Aokiji.
In addition, the powerful local faction represented by Crocodile should not be underestimated. For example, Smoker, who is "related" to the original navy faction, is also thriving in the Kingdom of Kalezi, and is considered a strong force for the original navy faction. Zephyr
asked Aokiji to be the vanguard. On the one hand, it was Aokiji's own request. Zephyr also wanted to pull his student from the Warring States. On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the original navy faction... Zephyr
is like a dead song who pits his teammates. When he sees the team fight in the bottom lane and the junglers of both sides fighting in the jungle, he is still brushing three wolf imps, having a great time, waiting for the opportunity to collect heads.
However, to Zefa's surprise, when Akainu and Aokiji were fighting at the port, Katakuri, who was originally stationed near Marijoa, brought several candy ministers and his pirate-born guards to the back and blasted Akainu's "beep" flower... Seeing that
his old navy elites, the incorporated Capone Pirates, and the CPs loyal to the Celestial Dragons... were already in a mess and even fled privately, Akainu was furious and went to the battlefield himself and killed several navy who wanted to escape.
However, even so, it only reduced the number of deserters, and the chaos and low morale caused by the two-sided attack did not alleviate much...
In the end, the port defense line collapsed, and they retreated while fighting, and were beaten back to Marijoa in three days.
Moreover, after retreating to Marijoa, they were not only attacked by the armies of Aokiji and Katakuri, but also slave riots and civilian uprisings occurred from time to time in the city. Fortunately, there was no master to lead them, so they were suppressed before they became a big deal. However, resistance of all sizes continued...
Stierres suggested that Akainu restore some of the basic principles of the League of Nations and abolish the privilege of the Celestial Dragons to raise slaves, so as not to deepen the contradictions.
Akainu thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still rejected Stierres...
"Marshal, what do those Celestial Dragons have..." Stierres was anxious when he heard this.
"Shut up!" Akainu interrupted harshly.
Seeing the unconvinced expression on Sterles' face, Akainu softened his tone and said, "It's not that I want the Celestial Dragons to maintain their privileges, but the Celestial Dragons must be 'Celestial Dragons' in order to intimidate the civilians and become the core of the World Government. The civilians fear the World Government and dare not overstep the line, and naturally the people's hearts are stable.
Why do so many people go out to sea to become pirates every year? It's because they lack fear! Maintaining this 'fear' is the embodiment of 'absolute justice'! Even if some efforts are made and even some people are sacrificed to maintain this 'fear', it is far less than the benefits of the existence of 'fear'! The
previous 'League of Nations' always talked about equality for all, which was simply nonsense. The dignity of the Celestial Dragons has been swept away by them once. If we also lose face for the Celestial Dragons, what difference will it make whether the 'World Government' exists in the future?"
Sterles didn't know whether he agreed with Akainu's words or not, but since Akainu had made such a decision, he had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, you continue to maintain the security of Marijoa, and don't let them make trouble in the back, let alone let them hurt the Celestial Dragons!" Akainu said. As
soon as Sterles left the Marshal's Mansion, he was distracted by what Akainu had just said and was hit by a half-eaten lollipop...
"Celestial Dragon's running dog! Smash you to death! When I become a general in the future, I will... uh uh uh..."
A little boy was covered with his mouth and fled by someone who seemed to be his parents.
Sterles was stunned for a moment, then sighed and stopped the personal soldiers who wanted to chase him...
"Marshal... With 'fear' as the core? It can't be repeated... We don't need to sweep it down again, just once, and the World Government will no longer have the soil to exist." Sterles sighed.
However, Sterles still performed his duties, although in his heart, every day might be the "last shift".
However, even so, several large-scale riots occurred in Marijoa.
And at midnight on the seventh day after Akainu retreated to Marijoa, in the Don Quixote family of the Celestial Dragons, Saint Musgard quietly came to his father's study with a member of the Anbu who had pretended to be his servant for many years and a fake slave follower who was truly convinced by him...
