The beginning and end of the War of the Best were full of surprises.
The event has been called the largest naval war since the Battle of Eruma.
Three of the Four Emperors are involved - after Whitebeard's death, the Blackbeard Pirates successfully rose to the top, and Teach replaced Whitebeard as one of the new Four Emperors.
In the past, Alabasta had won the Battle of Eruma, but in the end, the World Government Marines had accumulated prestige over 800 years, so the Royal Navy was far inferior when it came to influence.
This war successfully destroyed the 800-year-old authority of the Marines, and the Alabasta Royal Navy, which was originally a local naval organization, became the new embodiment of Justice in the hearts of many people.
Thus, the Royal Navy of Alabasta received proposals from various countries, including the member countries of the World Government!
This was very important for Alabasta.
If the world is a huge pie, and Alabasta could only eat a small piece in the past, then now it has a reason to compete with the World Government for the entire pie of the world.
The reason why the World Government could rule over all the countries was because many countries lacked the ability to fight back against the big pirates. In exchange for this ability, countries had to give the World Government a large amount of Heavenly Gold, which resulted in countries barely developing and the World Government becoming stronger and stronger.
If the Heavenly Gold is not paid, the Marines will not send garrisons and the safety of the participating countries will not be guaranteed.
This time, countries have a new and cheaper option.
In the end, Alabasta doesn't need any Tenributo. What Will needs is only one kind of resource, namely population.
Vil looked through the information Katakuri had collected, and the mobile TV hanging on the wall was still broadcasting the latest news.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku retires and will serve as Inspector General of the Marines."
"The new Fleet Admiral will be either Admiral Aokiji or Admiral Akainu."
"Edward Weevil, Whitebeard Jr., one of the Shichibukai, raided the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates crew."
"Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco reorganize the Whitebeard Pirates, successfully repelling Edward Weevil's attack."
- Ezekiel!! Give us an explanation! - at this time a voice was heard from outside the palace.
Fujitora stood up silently, Katakuri hid his face under the hood of his cloak again, it was impossible to accidentally reveal his identity.
The visitors outside were behaving aggressively, even calling Vila by his first name and stubbornly pushing their way into the palace, ignoring the security.
"These are members of the Revolutionary Army," Ezekiel smiled and said to Fujitora, who frowned.
Fujitora was annoyed. Since he had sworn allegiance to Ezekiel, this had never happened. Invasion of the palace!
Today's Alabasta is a great power whose strength can be compared to the World Government.
This means that the Alabasta Palace, where Emperor Ezekiel himself resides, is theoretically comparable to Mary Geoise! Would anyone dare to invade Mary Geoise without a reason?
But Ezekiel said nothing more. After observing the soldiers' reactions, he gave the order to let the people in.
Dragon, Whitebeard, and Karasu entered the administration hall. Dragon's head was still wrapped in white bandages. In the last fight, Whitebeard's terrible blow had caused him several wounds.
- Ezekiel …
Belo Betty waved her large flag aggressively and slammed the pole straight into the floor. The bluestone slabs cracked and some of the debris even flew as far as Ezekiel
At that moment, all three immediately entered a warlike state, feeling a clear increase in strength and fighting spirit.
Fujitora's brow furrowed deeper, he became even more angry, his body tensed up, and he was ready to attack at any moment. He had already raised his blade half an inch from the floor. An invisible force of gravity stopped the shattered stones, and Belo Betty felt a strong pressure, and suddenly what she wanted to say was suppressed.
There was tension in the air.
The Revolutionary Army and Alabasta are in an alliance, but this relationship is being formed by Alabasta. And Alabasta has paid enough. The price is five nations in the East Blue!
Alabasta promised to help them liberate the 5 small countries under the cruel rule of East Blue and provide some economic support, and will not claim the right to rule, in exchange for Dragon's help in the War of the Best.
Alabasta owes nothing more to the Revolutionary Army.
If the other party expresses dissatisfaction with certain circumstances, they can use their own powers instead of questioning Alabasta's choice.
"Is the Revolutionary Army already in a position to take control of Alabasta?" Ezekiel asked without raising his head.
At that moment, Dragon, the man known as the World's Most Dangerous Criminal, felt a shiver run down his spine.
The image of a little boy who always looked friendly and calm was shattered.
Dragon realized that his interlocutor was not one to be taken lightly.
This is the King who rules over hundreds of millions of people and who can be called the Great King!
There was no pressure from the Conquerors Haki, but the one question asked made the three of them sweat.
Karasu had a hard time maintaining his seriousness and indifference, barely controlling his facial muscles.
The cigarette in Belo Betty's mouth was almost gone, and it seemed as if even the dark red flame had succumbed to this invisible pressure and was almost destroyed.
Only now did she realize how ridiculous it was to treat Ezekiel an equal partner. It was hard to make a claim on a man in front of her. He was the ruler of the most powerful Kingdom in the world, who could even lead the World Government!
Fujitora slowly opened his eyes:
"It was very impolite," it was unclear whether he was talking about himself or the three people standing in front of him
