Chapter 103: The Victim of the Age (Part II)

Harden gasped for air twice before letting go, and Darwell stumbled and nearly fell after landing.

"Chloe, you deliver Mayor Will to disembark. William instructed Chloe, who had been calm throughout.

After he finished speaking, he said to the frightened Dawell: "Mayor Dawell, I said it, me and my subordinates are different from other pirates, and then we will anchor here for a while, usually we will rest on our own boats, you can let the residents of your town return to their homes with peace of mind, if there is news of the remaining bandits, you can come to me, if you find that my crew members hurt the residents of the town, you can also come to me." ”

After William finished speaking, he ignored Darwell's response and waved his hand for Chloe to take Darwell off the boat.

After both of them left, William looked back at Harden, who was still angry at Darwell for slandering One Piece.

"He's a fool brainwashed by the World Government, full of prejudice and misunderstanding about One Piece!" Harden said angrily.

"His hometown has just been ransacked by pirates, and he is old enough to be our grandfather, but he still has to grovel and beg for mercy from us pirates, in his opinion, it is the era of pirates that caused all this, and if you say that about the initiator of One Piece, of course he will be angry," William said calmly, "It is understandable that he said these words, he is a civilian, he is the object of being robbed by pirates, after the opening of the era of pirates, a bunch of pirates have newly emerged, and his position is different, it is understandable that he resents 'One Piece'." Otherwise, should he still love 'One Piece'?"

"He doesn't understand the greatness of One Piece and the Age of Pirates at all, nor does he understand the impact that One Piece and the Age of Pirates have on the navy. Harden said with a grudge in his heart.

At this time, Selkirk, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Of course he, and those civilians don't understand this, do you know why?"

"No matter what the purpose of 'One Piece' is, the mayor of this town, this town, and even the villages and towns that have had the same situation in other seas, and the ordinary people living in these places are all groups that have been sacrificed by 'One Piece', and they are tormented by this era opened by One Piece himself, so do you think they will identify with and understand this era and the people who opened it, and think they are great?

Selkirk was born in the North Sea, and the pirates were rampant far more than the East China Sea where they are now, and later went to the great voyage where the murderers were rampant, and he saw more clearly than Harden how much damage the rampant pirates caused to civilians.

Harden stopped talking, and when William saw this, he said to him, "Go back to your room and be quiet." ”

When Harden left, Selkirk, who had been a little taciturn since watching the execution on the shore, also went back to his room alone.

Only William and Aramis were left on deck at this point.

William left the table and went to the bow of the ship, squinting at the town in the distance, and Aramis stood silently behind him.

"When I got here, I remembered the innocent woman I killed again. William said with some embarrassment.

Aramis grinned: "What's this, it's not that you don't know what kind of people Danton are, if they fall into their hands, that woman can't escape death, and she will be tortured a lot before she dies." ”

"But I didn't expect that not long after I killed her, the Navy came, maybe I should delay a while. ”

"You can't be unpredictable, not to mention that at that time Bamond led a group of people around us, dragging it off, and it was light to say, we didn't have the skills we have now, and we were able to protect a woman from them?" ”

"Do you have any questions about what I do on a regular basis?" William asked, not getting angry at Alamis's tone.

Aramis nodded, if it was before, he might have asked questions directly, but since Wallon's death and now as a cadre of the Sea Pirates, he has also grown a lot, at least he can hold back his curiosity, and he will only speak out when there are no outsiders now.

"I don't understand your attitude towards that mayor and those civilians, but they are just a group of ordinary people, who can be used to grieve the people on the ship? Aramis asked.

"But the main body of this world is made up of these ordinary people," William asked silently as he lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Do you know what is the most terrible thing about the navy?"

"General?"

"No, even if the current admiral dies immediately for unknown reasons, they can promote the background of new candidates in the shortest possible time, and the reason why they have this background is because they are rooted in these ordinary people whom you disdain, countless 'ordinary people' have joined the ranks of the navy in the name of 'justice', and there are always some people who are not so ordinary. ”

William said calmly: "If you want the spire of the pyramid, you first need to have a huge pedestal. ”

Aramis frowned and said nothing.

"And that's just the navy," William said with emotion, "what about the World Government?"

Aramis seemed to understand and asked, "Do you want to learn from the World Government or the Navy?

"Yes, if we are a bunch of thieves who can only burn, kill, loot, and destroy everywhere and do not know how to build, we will never be able to compare to the world government and navy with programs and aspirations," William said softly, and then asked Aramis rhetorically, "What do you think of the world government?"

Aramis sneered disdainfully.

William also laughed when he saw this.

How many evils does the world government of this world have?

Let's just say that many of the slave workers of the bridge kingdom "Tequira Wolf" in the East China Sea are simply citizens of countries that do not agree to join the world government.

The descendants of the twenty kings who founded the world government, they claim to be the creator and have all kinds of privileges, and they are called the nobles of the world, "the Celestial Dragons".

In peacetime, the world government does not hesitate to denounce the highest combat power of the navy "admirals" to maintain the dignity of these nobles, which makes them arrogant to a certain extent, and even disdain to breathe the same air as other humans, so they usually wear special masks like astronauts.

And the Draconians themselves still retain a slave culture, and they will capture people of all races as slaves, regardless of whether you are a citizen of a member country of the World Government.

As for the internal government, corruption is rampant, the system is backward, and even the face navy of the world government is not much better, and the evil deeds of this regime are too numerous to mention, and many of its policies and behaviors are simply not something that a normal regime can do.

But it's such a bastard regime that can still gain the support of the civilian population.

"The world government is such a bastard, but the common people still support it, what do you think is the reason?" asked William.

"They're stupid!" said Aramis disdainfully.

"Wrong, because they don't have a choice," William shook his finger, his eyes flashed, "People born in troubled times are more looking forward to peace, the vast majority of the world, they hope that someone can suppress this chaotic world and end this cruel era, no matter how bastard and incompetent the world government is, but they are indeed persistently chasing down the pirates." ”

Whatever the purpose, the world government and navy are indeed working to end the era of pirates in the name of "justice".

William's eyes were sharp, "Pacifying the troubled times, this is the desire of the people, the world government and the navy have this intention, and they have the most ability, so people who hope for peace will pinch their noses and support this regime, what if they have a better choice? They may not really support this regime!"

Aramis finally understood what William meant, he shuddered, looked around, and saw that there was no one else around except them, and then he whispered, "You, don't talk nonsense about you." ”

"I'll only say to people I can trust," William smiled indifferently at his look, "You should go and rest too." ”

Aramis answered, and walked to the back of the boat, and when he looked back halfway, he saw William still standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the town motionless like a statue, not knowing what he was thinking.
