One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 334 The Celestial Dragons' Art of Rule

Akainu was completely unprepared for things to actually unfold as he had predicted, which filled him with gratitude towards Enni.

But more importantly, Aini's acceptance of him led to a huge change in his attitude towards Aini.

Akainu knew that dealing with pirates required ruthlessness; only violence could deter them from their reckless actions. Only by being more ruthless than the pirates would they be instilled with fear and prevent them from acting with impunity.

In this way, the potential pirate wave that may follow can be effectively contained.

However, if Sky and Sengoku had been able to make a firm decision and take decisive action back in Roger's era, the situation might have been completely different. They could have concentrated a powerful fighting force and deployed it at the entrances to the four seas, in strategic locations like Loguetown.

In this way, the vast majority of pirates would probably find it difficult to escape the fate of being annihilated.

This is not only because the navy has set up an inescapable net at the entrance to the Grand Line from all four seas, but also because they can redeploy a powerful force and troops at the exit of the Grand Line from all four seas to carry out a second encirclement and suppression.

With such a tight defense, how many pirates from all over the world could possibly break through it?

Unfortunately, Enni was unaware of Akainu's thoughts at that moment; otherwise, he would have been full of praise for Akainu's strategy.

After all, if Sengoku and Ku had actually taken such action, it would have yielded immediate results.

Once the influx of pirates from all over the world is lost, all that will remain are the pirates from the first half of the Grand Line, and these pirates obviously won't amount to much.

Of course, if it were Enni who devised the strategy, he certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just these two steps. His third step would target the Sabaody Archipelago, the essential route to the New World.

By deploying a powerful force in the Sabaody Archipelago, they completely blocked the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, leaving them with nowhere to go.

The fourth step, and this one is crucial, is to reach an agreement with Fish-Man Island. Furthermore, it's essential to specifically request that they organize a Fish-Man army led by Jinbe. This army's mission is very clear: to specifically target pirates who manage to enter the sea from the Sabaody Archipelago and attempt to reach the New World.

Imagine how the new world would change once this plan is implemented.

Those pirates who were full of hope and wanted to make a name for themselves in the New World first faced a siege in the Sabaody Archipelago, and then had to face the pursuit of fish-men in the sea.

In the sea, fish-men are invincible, and even they would likely find it difficult to escape the pursuit of the fish-man army. As a result, the New World will certainly lose a large number of new forces, and its power structure will inevitably be greatly affected.

However, to achieve all this, a crucial moment must be awaited—Aini entering the Holy Land and becoming the new Void King.

Because before he actually ascends to this throne, all plans are nothing but wishful thinking, and even Akainu's ideas will be regarded as a joke.

Who is Kong?

That was the previous Fleet Admiral!

A person who can hold such an important position must be both intelligent and courageous.

The Warring States period was known as a wise general, and his wisdom and strategy should not be underestimated.

In addition, there is the Navy's Chief of Staff, Tsuru, who is also known for her exceptional wisdom and resourcefulness.

With so many powerful figures involved, did they really not think of such an obvious plan?

This is truly unbelievable. If they really didn't think of it, then they don't deserve to be in that position at all.

Perhaps they had made such a suggestion, or even tried to implement it. However, their suggestion was rejected by others, and its implementation was forced to stop.

You should know that the Sabaody Archipelago is right next to the Navy Headquarters!

Solving the problems there should be an easy task for them.

But the reality is quite different; a significant amount of illegal territory still exists in the Sabaody Archipelago. Under normal circumstances, how could they possibly turn a blind eye and allow it to continue unchecked?

The answer is obviously no.

So, who exactly caused this situation?

The answer is already self-evident.

In the entire world, the only ones who could possibly render these individuals helpless are the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land. In other words, the person sitting on the Empty Throne is deliberately preventing them from resolving the Sabaody Archipelago issue.

The reason for this is actually very simple and clear.

If his rule presents a picture of peace and prosperity, then people's attention will naturally be focused on the Celestial Dragons who oppress them.

Because in such a relatively peaceful environment, people have begun to have more time and energy to pay attention to the Celestial Dragons who enjoy nearly 70% of the world's resources.

Once people turn their attention to the Celestial Dragons, a host of problems will arise.

At that time, it will probably not be as simple as just the appearance of a dragon, but rather the emergence of rebel armies everywhere.

After all, the Celestial Dragons possess far more resources than other groups, and this extreme unfairness is bound to provoke discontent and resistance.

Faced with such a dire situation, how should he respond?

The answer is that he must deliberately create some unstable factors. Only through these factors can he attract the attention of most people, leaving them no time to pay attention to the Celestial Dragons.

Compared to the Celestial Dragons who are high above and far away in the Holy Land, the pirates and lawbreakers around people who may harm them at any time are obviously more terrifying.

These pirates and criminals are like venomous snakes and bloodthirsty butchers lurking in the shadows, posing a deadly threat to people at any time.

Therefore, in this vast world, designating a specific area to concentrate those vicious pirates and criminals seems to be a feasible strategy.

In this way, the whole world will feel the threat from this region, a threat that hangs like a dark cloud, making it hard to breathe.

In addition, new pirates are constantly emerging and plundering.

Life and death were laid out before them.

In a life-or-death situation, what does a little money matter?

After all, people often lose their attachment to wealth when faced with fear. Therefore, those weak kingdoms and those powerless people have no choice but to accept the protection of the world government.

However, the asylum offered by the world government is not a free lunch.

To gain its protection, one must pay a price—Pele.
