Question: The World Government sends troops to attack the New World on a large scale to destroy the Yonko pirate group. Who will lose and who will win?

Answer: The World Government will definitely win!

In the original work, the government usually keeps a low profile. The countries that are eligible to participate in the Levely have long-standing relationships with Luffy, which makes them seem ordinary without any remarkable qualities.

However, never underestimate this alliance, which consists of over 170 countries and regions from all over the world!

With the name “World,” the foundation of the World Government is extremely formidable.

The reason for their inaction lies in three lines of conflicting interests and one critical point that hinders them.

The first line: internal governmental conflicts of interest.

Most government decisions are made to benefit the privileged Celestial Dragons, such as the “Heavenly Tribute” system, which is as harsh as the tiger’s rule.

The World Government needs to maintain the supreme authority of the Celestial Dragons, but on the other hand, it does not need the Celestial Dragons who use political power to regain privileges to re-politicize.

The contradictions and complexities of the interests involved make it impossible for the government to work together with one heart and one mind.

The Second Line: The Interests of the Members of the Allied Kingdom.

The members of the Allied Kingdom joined the world government to seek development. With the advent of the Age of Pirates, countries that are not actively protected by the Marines find it difficult to protect themselves.

If they want to move to the New World after the troops are transferred, they will undoubtedly be in danger.

So the members of the Allied Kingdom will definitely not agree.

Third line: Pirate interests.

Just as the Marines set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption to clean up internal scum, there are parasites within the government.

Some pirates are simply accomplices, acting for this group of great characters. They take advantage of the chaotic situation in the Age of Pirates to make a profit.

The government wants to move against the Yonko and destroy this era, which is inevitable.

The intertwining of these three interests is also the reason why Marine’s Justice has never been implemented, leaving Admiral Akainu, leader of the War Faction, in a frustrated state.

The Marine Year aims to abolish the Age of Pirates, and the first thing it touches on is not pirates, but these interests.

Finally, a key point.

That is the current Age of Pirates!

The emergence of the Age of Pirates cannot be separated from the three lines of interest mentioned above. They are intertwined and complementary, forming an inextricable situation.

To change the era, it is not only a matter of marines and pirates; to change the era, one must first change the lines of interest and change the government.

Will the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) voluntarily “reform” and give up their interests?

Of course, they won’t.

Therefore, the government will never send troops to attack the Yonko.

Instead, what everyone is familiar with is maintaining a balance.

As long as the Yonko do not unite, the matter belongs to “Navy and Pirates”. As soon as the Yonko unite and face the provocation of the pirates, the World Government must respond.

This is the standard rule.

Akainu said it so cleverly, first confirming the Yonko’s alliance and then pulling the bottom out of the barrel!

“War Faction officers are truly radical.”

Rowen thought silently in his heart, then looked up at the three of them.

“But will things go so smoothly?”

Whitebeard said, “Because we are pirates,” and had long set things within the “Navy and pirates” range.

Add to that the tension of the three now meeting in battle. Would the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) believe that they would join forces?

Not to mention…

“Hā Hā Hā Hā Hā!”

The wild laughter was deafening, like the towering giant Kaido roaring into the sky, and the ground suddenly exploded as if buried under hundreds of pounds of explosives with a resounding bang.

“Ridiculous!”

“Why should I join forces with them, Akainu?”

Kaido glared at Akainu, swinging his huge club wildly.

Moreover, with the pride and confidence of a Yonko, he perfectly embodied what it meant to have “different ways, no conspiracy.

At the original war summit, Kaido did not want to join out of any personal vendetta against anyone, but because such a rare summit tempted him to participate in this great war!

That’s all!!!

He completely belonged to the category of war madman.

For a Yonko’s nature, “cooperation”?

It simply didn’t exist in their dictionary.

“You spoke like a human for once, Kaido.”

Shanks grinned at Issho, ignoring Kaido’s piercing gaze, and looked disdainfully at Akainu. “We’re here just to see what confidence Marine claims in calling this the Marine Year!”

“With your Air Force?”

Shanks looked at Rowen.

“Or with these old friends?”

Then he looked at Akainu and Kizaru.

“In my opinion, it’s not much more than that!”

“That’s right! Marine wants to replace the pirates as rulers of the age, no way!”

Carnegie babbled nearby, turning his head and saying, “Kaido, we’re all here this time for the common glory of the pirates. After this is over, we’ll still be enemies!”

The thought of being on the same battlefield with Yonko and the Navy Admirals made Carnegie’s blood boil.

It wasn’t for nothing that he left the imposing pirate ship and chose to arrive quickly by submarine. If he had arrived late, he would have been like the pirate ship slowly approaching from the outside, just an audience under the stage.

However… he didn’t consider one thing.

With a guy like Kaido, you’d better use your fists to communicate with him.

“Get lost!!!”

With a roar, the club swung out with earth-shattering force. Under its terrifying brute force, the air pushed aside formed a palpable pressure.

In an instant, where Carnegie stood, along with the fifty-meter-long turtle-shaped submarine behind him, were flattened to the ground by the pressure.

Boom!

Bang Rumble!!!

When the club hit the ground, explosions and earth-shattering cracks spread. Even hard steel couldn’t withstand the terrifying energy surge for a single second, exploding into a huge fireball the next moment.

A pirate with a bounty of 390,000,000 was lost for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time!

“How dare you defy me?”

Kaido put down his club with an impatient expression and exhaled heavily, the aftermath of his blow wiping out a pirate.

The faces of the three became grim.

The situation had become clear. Shanks and Kaido would never allow themselves to be defeated here against Whitebeard.

The demise of Big Mom’s pirate group not only gave Marine a boost, but also showed the world that Yonko was not insurmountable.

It also made the pirates think about the future.

As living legends of the sea, the idea of Whitebeard losing to Marine was something they couldn’t accept.

“Leave Aokiji to me. I have a personal grudge to settle with him.”

Shanks said, grabbing his Griffin and casually walking towards Rowen.

With every step he took, the ground began to shake wildly. A terrible, oppressive feeling enveloped everyone’s hearts as stubborn rocks naturally crumbled and purple-black lightning danced in the air, creating an apocalyptic scene.

The “Man with the Strongest Haki in the World” had indeed unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki!

“He killed Linlin, I should be the one to deal with him!”

Kaido exhaled heavily in anger, obviously ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

“How about both of you come at me?”

Rowen sneered disdainfully and spread his hands.

Even a clay figure has some fire left; whoever is chosen by the enemy cannot be completely ignored.

“Well… you know, Yonko can’t join forces. Our pride won’t allow it.”

Shanks shrugged helplessly, then suddenly erupted and turned to slash at Kaido with his sword.

Slash!!!

Boundless Haki stirred the Void, a blinding white light streaking across the night sky. At the crisp sound of the sword, Kaido’s eyes widened in disbelief, only to be struck in the abdomen by the sword’s shadow and sent flying.

Clang!

Even though it was a Yonko strike, it only left a white mark on Kaido. However, Shanks’ intention wasn’t to seriously wound Kaido but to keep him at a distance to facilitate his attack on Rowen.

After sending Kaido flying, Shanks quickly turned around, using his Griffin to shield himself.

Clang… Zing Zing!

The clash of metal rang out sharply, accompanied by bright flashes of light.

Rowen held the Thunder Dragon Crescent Side Halberd and pushed Shanks heavily back to the ground, his voice cold and dominant.

“You made a mistake, Shanks!”

“I said those words… to Rayleigh San back then.”

Though Shanks smiled, the killing intent in his eyes was dripping like liquid.
