Chapter 240 The Navy is the Navy of the World Government

In the deserted house, a figure slowly woke up, stared blankly at the luxurious ceiling with spider webs for a while, then lifted the thin blanket and stood up.

“…”

A figure walked barefoot on the yellowed carpet to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, drew aside the curtains and looked out.

This place still made her feel depressed as always.

………………

"Is that the palace? It feels different from here!"

Sanda Sonya noticed Lin Qi's gaze and looked over there as well, saying in amazement, "It's so desolate here, but I didn't expect the palace to look so intact!"

Marigrude walked beside her second sister, "The book says that the 'tyrant' destroyed his own country and disappeared into the sea... Maybe even a 'tyrant' wouldn't destroy the palace or his own home!"

The Nine Snakes female warrior at the side laughed and said, "Don't the pirates who come here go to the palace?"

Everyone laughed. If pirates had ever ravaged the palace, they would probably have stripped off the exquisite decorations on the palace walls. They knew that thieves never leave empty-handed.

Robin said: "Generally speaking, even if most pirates invade towns on the island, they will not attack the territory of the royal city, let alone directly invade the royal palace..."

Lin Qi took over her words and said with a smile: "Because in many cases, as long as the pirates do not directly provoke the royal family in the royal city, and they make a little trouble in the surrounding small towns, the nobles in the royal palace are actually too lazy to pay attention to them, right?"

In the comics, Luffy and his three brothers often deal with pirates on their home island. Goa Kingdom is clearly a member of the World Government, and even one of the 50 World Conference member states!

Why did those pirates still appear on the island of the Kingdom of Goa? Lin Qi thought, it was probably because those pirates did not offend the royal city and did not disturb the royal palace. As for the lives of ordinary civilians outside the royal city, why would those nobles care? Perhaps in their eyes, there is not much difference between civilians and pirates, they are just low-class people.

Hancock asked curiously, "Didn't they say that the World Government and the Navy would protect the member states?"

Amazon Lily is also a country. If they are willing to hand over the Heavenly Gold to the Celestial Dragons and pay the price to obtain official recognition, they can theoretically join the World Government.

Hancock knew that she would probably take over the throne of the Nine Snakes Emperor in a few years, so it was inevitable that she would be more concerned about these matters than before.

But it is impossible for Nine Snakes to join the World Government. There is not even a hair of Bailey on their island, and they cannot and will not hand over any bullshit Heavenly Gold. They are a martial pirate nation, and their country's security is naturally protected by their own fists and bows. No one cares about the World Government and the Navy.

But after all, not all countries are as powerful as the Amazon Lily.

The book also said that when the pirates invaded, the navy of the South China Sea also came to help the Ice Cream Kingdom. Although it was later destroyed by the "tyrant" along with the pirates.

Hearing this, Lynch smiled meaningfully at Hancock and said, "You don't think... the people that the World Government and the Navy promised to protect are the people of the member countries, right?"

The three Hancock sisters and the other Nine Snake warriors were all stunned.

"Assume an extreme situation, if the people of the allied countries revolt and attack the royal city to chop off the heads of the nobles," Lynch murmured, "Do you think that at that time, the navy's forces will stand on the side of the people and face the nobles in the palace? Or will they stand in front of the palace and turn their righteous guns towards the rioting people?"

Robin was speechless. As a person who was familiar with history, she could easily find many countries that were "almost overthrown overnight". As for where those large numbers of "pirates" who almost overthrew the country overnight came from...it was not difficult to guess. It was just that no one would tell the answer.

"The admirals of the navy protect the Celestial Dragons, and the soldiers and generals of the navy protect the lesser nobles."

Lynch laughed and said, "It's pretty neat, isn't it?"

This was probably the first time Hancock and the others had heard such remarks. But when they thought about it carefully, they felt that – if it was so simple, why had they never thought about it before?

Lin Qi didn't feel anything. To him, these were obvious. The only army that could truly be called the people's army was the only one in the creation of the world, including the thousands of years of civilization on Earth. What kind of navy was this? The navy was the navy of the World Government.

The World Government is the government of the aristocracy.

The Ice Cream Kingdom only has the palace left, and there is probably no noble life in that palace, so the navy will naturally not care whether there are pirates invading the island... Otherwise, there are so many pirates entrenched in the sea, so many pirate groups that the navy has clearly marked, why don't we see the navy organizing actions, cooperating with several bases, and attacking and destroying the pirate groups one by one? Extreme examples: Four Emperors Big Mom, Whitebeard Pirates, these people are in the right position.

Why not destroy them? The answer is actually obvious - the islands and countries within the sphere of influence of these Four Emperors Pirate Groups are not all member states of the World Government.

Since it is not a member state of the World Government, there are no member state nobles who need the protection of the navy.

Since there are no nobles from the member states, how can the non-member states be harmed by large pirate groups like the Four Emperors Big Mom? What does it have to do with the navy? They can naturally talk about the "balance of power" in a calm and high-sounding manner... What nonsense, no matter how miserable the non-member states are, so what? There will be no noble lords calling to scold them and put pressure on them through the World Government, so why are they so nervous?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

On the contrary, if the balance of power between the Four Emperors is destroyed, those non-member countries will be freed from their scourge, and countless small roaming pirate groups will appear on the sea... At that time, these small pirates will invade the territories of the member countries of the World Government, and that will make the navy wary, or give them a headache.

………………

With a whoosh, the jade-like wings spread out, and Sandasonia transformed into the form of the mythical beast, the flying snake Euryal, intending to flap her wings and fly to hover high in the sky for observation.

Hancock leaped up and landed on her sister's back which was covered with green scales.

"I sensed a gathering of some people over there... This should be the hideout of the pirates on this island."

Lynch pointed in a distant direction, clasped his hands at both sides, and asked Hancock who was riding the "Snake Demon" in mid-air, "I plan to get rid of them right now, do you want to come with me?"

His tone was as casual as if he was saying, "I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables, do you want to come with me?"

"I'm not interested in a few worthless pirates." Hancock rolled his eyes at him and gently patted his sister's cold and smooth snake shoulders. "Sanda, go take a look at the palace."

The flying snake smiled and said, "Sister, I want to go to the palace too!"

As it spoke, the giant jade snake flapped its wings and flew into the air carrying Hancock.
