Chapter 104: Balance of Terror
"It's a possibility...... Not necessarily none. Charlotte Mousse was about to agree with the second brother's analysis, but suddenly thought of the scene where Roger burst into tears on the Island of the End.
If it was really a big lie, it would just be able to coincide, so Mousse didn't dare to make up his mind for a while, so he could only put this question aside and say that there were other possibilities that the Tianlong people did not use the "national treasure":
"Regardless of this most outrageous situation, and without considering that Polusalino forgot to call and report, there are four other possibilities, one is that the ability is useless to powerful individuals, such as creating natural disasters; The second is that the 'range' is limited, and it can't reach the mother at that time; the third is that it takes a lot of time to activate it, and it doesn't have time; and the fourth is that it takes a lot of money to activate the 'national treasure', and it will never be used until the moment of life and death! ”
"If it's the first type, you can't stop your mother; The second kind of words is meaningless, the G1 branch can't reach it, that is, it can only protect a small area of the Holy Land Mary Joa, and Mom can attack from a distance, her 'King's Fist' has been proven through actual combat before that even if three super-first-class powerhouses join forces, it will not be able to resist, and even the Holy Land Mary Joy, it is difficult to concentrate more than four admirals (level power......houses);
After some analysis, Mousse pointed to the fourth type of speculation, which was also the most inclined to the pre-time conversion.
And if the price of using the "national treasure" is so great that they can't even make up their minds to kill three super-first-class powerhouses, then it will be a great blow to be able to force the Tianlong people to take out this hole card.
Therefore, they must have scruples and dare not force Charlotte Lingling, an already invincible monster, to attack the Holy Land of Mary Joy......
"Besides, even if we don't attack the Holy Land of Mary Joy, we are forced to give up the nations and become pirates again (running around without a base), right? Mom and second brother, you are not far away from the ship, and there are Brother Owen and Brother Daifuku who are getting stronger and stronger, and Polusalino still has a way to attack? And we, who have no scruples, can capture wherever the pirate ship goes, and the navy can stop it? It won't be long before the Celestial Dragons' domination of the world will collapse...... So now the two sides have actually formed a kind of terrifying balance, and each side has the scruples to dare not push the other too much, so there is hope for a longer period of peace. ”
Speaking of this, Mousse naturally reminds me of the nuclear confrontation on Earth during the Cold War, which at first glance looks too similar.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Mousse found that there is a big difference between the two......
The nuclear confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union on the earth can really destroy each other, at least basically destroy each other, and neither side can withstand it.
And now the World Government and BIG· The balance of terror between the MOM pirates can only cause unacceptable heavy losses to the other side.
In particular, BIG· It's not that the MOM Pirates can't abandon the territory of the nations, but it's mainly that Charlotte Lingling can't give up emotionally.
If you don't care about the tens of thousands of people, you just need to let the children gather in Cake City or the flagship to live for protection (the Overlord's Spear and Thundercloud Zeus are enough to cover it), and Polusalino's cheap tricks are useless......
After realizing this, Mousse's evaluation of his mother unconsciously raised a lot......
Whatever the reason, Charlotte Lingling does have feelings for her own people, and in fact she has never hurt her own people when she is conscious.
Based on this alone, Charlotte Lingling is actually better than most of the kings of the One Piece world, and is many times stronger than those Draconians who only know how to harm the people but do nothing to the world.
"It's better if you don't have food sickness......", Mousse sighed imperceptibly, quickly adjusted his emotions, and continued to explain to his mother and two older brothers:
"Deterrence on both sides is not absolute, so the resulting peace will not be too secure. And we have two choices, one is to try to negotiate peace with the world government to achieve real peace; The second is to maintain a de facto truce on the one hand, and on the other hand, to find ways to strengthen itself and weaken the other side's ......"
Charlotte Daifuku has always been a person who doesn't talk much, but being stupid doesn't mean being stupid in his brain, and his reaction is even faster than Katakuri:
"It's not a contradiction, is it? Even if a peace treaty is concluded, the two sides can still make small moves in secret, and if they want to conclude a peace treaty, they must first exert enough pressure on the world government to force them to take the initiative to seek peace......"
"Brother Daifuku is right." , Mu Si glanced at this brother who he didn't really know much about in surprise, and then added a few words on the basis of it with a smile:
"But the ultimate goal is still different, do we want to overthrow the world government, or do we just want peace in all countries?"
Charlotte Lingling actually doesn't have much ambition, and she knows the background of the world government, so she is intellectually inclined to the latter.
But thinking that he was forced to retreat by Polusalino, who was more than a step inferior to himself, and there was no good way to deal with him, the anger in the heart of the queen of all nations could not be extinguished......
So Mousse determined the family's goals in the future:
"The only way to achieve complete peace is to make all nations members of the world government, and nothing else is reliable. But in this case, we will bow down to others, where should our mother's face go? So we have to get the World Government to beg us to join, and we have to give us the best possible treatment, at least like Elbaf (in fact, we don't pay the heavenly money, but we can still get financial aid from the World Government. Right? ”
"Yes, that's what I thought~", Charlotte Lingling nodded again and again after hearing it.
But Charlotte Katakuri, who was on the side, cast a suspicious look at Mousse at this time, wondering why the younger brother, who had been startled by Pharos, had suddenly reined in his ambitions.
You must know that long before the killing of prisoners, Mousse regarded the world government as the main enemy, why is it that now that the strength of the family has increased greatly and given the world government and navy a heavy blow, he has changed his position and become a dove?
Mousse noticed Katakuri's eyes, but what could he say?
Tell this second brother that he is not actually very ambitious, but just insecure because of the experience in his previous life?
