Chapter 1274 The World (Part 2)
(The setting of Dressrosa has been revised in the previous chapter. If you read it earlier, it may be the wrong version - Correction: There are eighteen continental countries, not nineteen.)
Guan Liyuan also discovered an "interesting" thing while investigating the situation on the Red Earth Continent.
As we all know, among the countless countries in the pirate world, the history between nine hundred and eight hundred years ago is blank. The world government covers up and seems to be afraid of this century.
In order to cover up this "blank hundred years", the world government did not hesitate to destroy O'Hara, the island of scholars...
To this day, probably only the "historical text" made of special materials still records the history of this century.
The revolutionary army has also studied this hundred years of history - or rather hopes to study it!
After all, what the world government is so "fearful of", if mastered, is likely to be helpful to the revolutionary cause.
However, due to the lack of talents in this field, the revolutionary army's research on the "Blank Hundred Years" has stopped at the "want to study" and "guess" stage.
The easiest thing to think of must be that the world government established by twenty powerful countries at that time had a war with another force, and used some ulterior means or had ulterior motives, so it covered up This piece of truth.
In addition, the "Celestial Dragons" who are descendants of the Twenty Kingdoms have strong fear and hostility towards the "D Clan", and it is easy to guess that the "mysterious force" that once fought with them is the "D Clan"...
But then, there are many other doubts!
For example, the blank ones are only one hundred years old. Many ancient countries with permanent history, such as Alabasta and Dressrosa, have a history of nine hundred years ago - if the D family was very old nine hundred years ago, Being strong and even possessing world hegemony cannot leave its shadow in the history of any country.
Unless they are within a hundred years, their rise and fall will be sudden...
In addition, if the Twenty Kingdoms only defeated their enemies and became kings and defeated bandits, no matter how bad the methods were, Guan Liyuan did not think that it was enough for them to keep this secret to such an extent.
Normally speaking, no matter how despicable the means of seeking the country, as long as there are no problems in governance, most people will not become rebellious. Even if they can excel and make the common people live and work in peace and contentment, no matter how despicable the previous means, In the eyes of ordinary people, it is all forgivable.
In particular, this enemy may have appeared within a hundred years. No matter how popular they were at the beginning... But the World Government, which has been established for eight hundred years, does not need to feel guilty now because of any despicable behavior against them.
The reason why the "blank hundred years" makes the world government so nervous, even Whitebeard in the original work seems to be sure that the "treasure" hidden in this period of history will subvert the world government... It is definitely not just a "historical reason" , it’s more like they took away something that should belong to many participating countries and many people, so once exposed, there will be a danger of subversion.
Moreover, Guan Liyuan also discovered some "interesting" phenomena on the Red Earth Continent - on the sea, there is no "blank hundred years" in the history of any country, but there are a few exceptions on the Red Earth Continent. !
Some remote and isolated countries have a coherent history, but the histories of such countries all have one thing in common—autism.
Although it has a history of a hundred years, nothing can be seen from it. It only records the affairs of its own country.
There are even many records that are written in a legendary style due to the level of civilization development, which is of little help in researching the "Blank Hundred Years". They do not record what happened in the outside world at all.
However, this "no record", in Guan Liyuan's opinion, has also explained some things, such as... what happened in those one hundred years did not truly cover the entire world. Although the entire sea was swept away, But at least there is still a country on the red clay road that stays aloof!
In other words... it can at least be considered that the main venue of this incident is on the sea?
In addition, if this is the case, the reason why the Neferutali royal family in Alabasta did not become "Celestial Dragons", but chose to stay in their own country, may not have such a selfless purpose - after all, in the Twenty Kingdoms, except for Alabasta and Dressrosa, the others are all continental powers.
As the only maritime country, will it be squeezed out?
Just like the Don Quixote royal family in Dressrosa, after they chose to become Celestial Dragons, Dressrosa did not become a direct state under the World Government like the other eighteen countries. Instead, it changed to another royal family and continued to be independent. exist.
Although there are geographical reasons, there is no guarantee that there are no other nasty reasons...
And more than thirty years ago, there was a group of Celestial Dragons from the Don Quixote family who left Marigioa with the purpose of "wanting to return to ordinary people". As a result, they were soon resented by the Celestial Dragons. A long-standing popular reckoning.
The whole thing was very strange. With Guan Liyuan's understanding of the world, the reaction of ordinary people at that time was very strange!
Resentment towards the Celestial Dragons is normal, but what is more likely to be the fear of the Celestial Dragons has been deeply rooted in their hearts. Even though the Don Quixote family at that time was nominally separated from the Celestial Dragons, as ordinary people, could they never Never thought that targeting the "former Celestial Dragons" would make the "Celestial Dragons" dissatisfied?
Just by nominally breaking away from the "Celestial Dragon" status, their fear completely disappeared?
You must know that even the World Government is shrinking from Doflamingo, who has nominally lost his identity as a Celestial Dragon...
Therefore, Guan Liyuan suspected that there was someone behind the incident that year, but because too much time had passed, it was no longer possible to investigate the full extent of the incident.
In addition, Guan Liyuan also discovered that the idiot Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land Mariejoia, in addition to being in the Holy Land, more often dominate the world and the great waterways. They rarely go to the Red Earth Continent, especially the Eighteen Kingdoms - —They are causing trouble in their lair.
Although these guys are really idiots, when Guan Liyuan tried several times and planned to lure some of the idiots to the Eighteen Kingdoms, hoping to make them destroy their own foundation, other Tianlong people would stop these idiots. It would not be like in The sea is as laissez-faire as ever...
In this way, it also explains why just looking at the plot in the original work, the Celestial Dragons were not beaten to the ground and stepped on by ten thousand feet by the general public and the World Government!
No matter how mischievous the Tianlong people are at sea, it cannot change the fact that behind them are the eighteen most powerful direct countries. Even the operation of the world government is based on these eighteen countries.
It's just that the original stories all took place at sea, so I can't see this...
This is why Guan Liyuan advocated that the goal be to drive the world government back to the Red Earth Continent first, and it is also the reason why Dorag finally agreed to let the "Red Earth Continent" side go first - after all, they are living a pretty good life, and they have been treated well. The oppression is not that serious.
"The enemy will not be underestimated by you... Why are you looking for me?" Guan Liyuan said to Dolag who was looking at the map.
"I'm going to leave Bardigo later. You can sit in the headquarters for me." Drago said.
Although Saab is already the chief of staff, he is still young after all, and Guan Liyuan obviously has higher prestige.
However, Guan Liyuan refused: "No, I have to go out for a walk recently. You can sit in charge... If you need anything, I can run for you... Well, I probably don't just want to see the Grand Route. Son or something, an act of tenderness, right?”
