At this moment, everyone noticed that a large number of ship shadows appeared on the sea horizon in the distance.

​​

only. . .

​​

These nearly 200 ships, and even half of them are not fleets of warships. Although the scale is not small, it seems a little underwhelming on today's occasion, right?

​​

However, Li Yan knew it.

​​

It's not just these powers that come from the Holy Land.

​​

But anyway, since he's here, Li Yan has no reason not to do it.

​​

But before that. . .

​​

------

​​

"Everyone, I'm Li Yan, the general of the East China Sea!"

​​

In front of several reporters' live broadcast equipment, Li Yan spoke.

​​

"Today is this special day, and this public execution also has a special meaning!"

​​

"Since the establishment of the Navy for hundreds of years, although we have been shouting justice, justice, justice! But..."

​​

"Is the navy really just?"

​​

"No, he never was!"

​​

Boom. . .

​​

When Li Yan said this, the whole world was in a frenzy.

​​

What is this General Li Yan doing?

​​

To openly say that your navy has never been just?

​​

Not to mention the civilians watching the live broadcast, Akainu, who was also watching the live broadcast, and a group of senior officials of the Navy headquarters were also confused.

​​

He had no idea what Li Yan was doing.

​​

"Although we talk about eliminating pirates and shouting about protecting civilians, is this really the case?"

​​

"Not really!"

​​

"On the surface, the navy is for justice, fighting pirates to protect civilians, but in fact, the navy has always been a loyal dog of the Holy Land Mary Joa."

​​

"Pirates? That's a joke. The reason why pirates can exist for hundreds of years and continue to grow is because the Tianlong people need to use pirates to rule the whole world!"

​​

"Don't you understand?"

​​

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Because of the threat of pirates and the suppression of the sea by the navy, all kingdoms will rely more on the Holy Land."

​​

"After all... the navy is the only institution in the world that can suppress pirates. By relying on the Holy Land and paying the heavenly gold every year, you can get the protection of the navy, right?"

​​

"So... the allied countries appeared one by one, and the world system centered on the Holy Land was born!"

​​

"But have you ever thought about when and how pirates were born? The navy has, for hundreds of years, clearly had the power to easily suppress pirates most of the time, but it has never been able to completely suppress pirates. End the era of pirates?"

​​

When and how were pirates born?

​​

Why has the navy always had the absolute power to suppress pirates for hundreds of years, except for the last few decades, but it has never been able to put out pirates?

​​

The question Li Yan said echoed in everyone's heart.

​​

Until then, everyone realized that they never seemed to think about these things.

​​

So what are the answers to these questions?

​​

Everyone once again focused their attention on Li Yan during the live broadcast.

​​

"About hundreds of years ago, there were not so many pirates in this sea, but another occupation prevailed, adventurer!"

​​

"That's right, it's like the well-known big talker Rolando, who was a famous adventurer at the time."

​​

"Then, why did the profession of adventurer disappear, while pirates became popular?"

"First of all, the essence of an adventurer is adventure just like its name. Where there are mysteries, where there are treasures, and where there are relics, then go where."

​​

"And this has led to more and more secrets in the world being revealed, especially those related to the Holy Land, which the Tianlong people don't want others to know."

​​

"As a result, the profession of adventurer has become a thorn in the eyes of the Tianlong people, and at that time, the Tianlong people were also facing a situation of insufficient dominance over the world."

​​

"Therefore, they thought of a way to ban adventurers and classify them as pirates. At the same time, they deliberately strengthened the power and danger of pirates, and even for this purpose, they did not hesitate to let people pretend to be pirates to kill people and steal goods. Even attack the kingdoms directly."

​​

"Since that year, the pirates in this world have suddenly exploded, killing people and setting fires, looting property, and doing all kinds of evil. There are even many pirates who have entered some kingdoms and slaughtered their royal families directly!"

​​

"Everyone panicked, and at this moment, the Holy Land stood up and proposed to form a sea force to deal with the threat of pirate forces."

​​

"So, the navy was born!"

​​

"As long as you join the Holy Land system and pay a sum of money in the sky every year, you can get the protection of the navy, but many kingdoms are not willing."

​​

"After all, we're talking about a lot of money every year!"

​​

"And it's not important to the Holy Land. Just like what we did before, if you don't want a kingdom, let people fake pirates and slaughter it again. That's fine, isn't it?"

​​

"When several kingdoms were slaughtered, other kingdoms were naturally afraid. Look at the kingdoms that were protected by the navy, all of which are fine, and those kingdoms without the protection of the navy have all become the pirates' fire targets, right?"

​​

"Finally, after a few years, almost all the kingdoms became allied countries, and the Tianlong people's dominance over the entire world was unprecedentedly strengthened."

​​

"This has made the Tianlong people taste the sweetness, but they will also worry that if the pirates are wiped out, will the current ruling system be weakened or even collapsed?"

​​

"So, they came up with a trick to keep the pirates self-respect. Simply put, they kept the pirates and deliberately didn't kill them all, so that the strength of the pirates could always be maintained to be a threat to the allied countries, but they were weaker than the navy. The extent of ~lightnovelpub.net~ In this way, as long as there are pirates and navies, those allied countries will never dare to leave the Holy Land!"

​​

"When the pirate power is strong, the navy will increase the pressure of suppression, and when the pirate power is weak, the navy will relax the attack force under the order of the Holy Land to give it a chance to breathe."

​​

"For hundreds of years, this strategy has made the Holy Land's rule over the entire world incomparably stable!"

​​

"Except twice!"

​​

"Once it was the great pirate Rocks, who had the power that even the Holy Land was afraid of, and the other time was the previous generation of One Piece Goal d Roger. The words he said before his death caused the entire sea to riot completely, and the sea The thief power has grown more than tenfold in just 20 years!"

​​

"That's why, after that, another king came to the Seven Martial Seas in the Holy Land, because the navy alone can no longer suppress the pirate forces!"

​​

"They wanted to support the robber, but now this robber is out of their control under the impetus of Roger!"

​​

"This is the reason why pirates were born, and the reason why the navy has never been able to exterminate pirates!"

​​

"This is the truth of the world for hundreds of years."

​​

"That's why I say, the Navy has never been justice!"

​​

When Li Yan finished speaking, everyone in the world fell silent.
