Chương 1820: The Importance of the Calm Belt (2)

The Calm Belt is a sea area full of dangers and mysteries, but it can break through the control of the World Government.

In the past, the World Government only needed to firmly grasp the Red Earth Continent that runs across the Grand Line, that is, the World Government's dedicated channel on Mary Geoise, to easily divide the world into two halves.

In this way, they can deliberately concentrate all the pirates in the New World and let them kill each other in that environment full of competition and fighting.

But now, the situation has changed dramatically.

The rise of the Rockefeller Kingdom has put the world government in an unprecedented dilemma. They don't know how to deal with this situation, let alone what methods to use to resist the possible attacks launched by the Rockefeller Kingdom.

But as long as the World Government blocks the Upside-Down Mountain, it can also block the pirates in one place and prevent them from roaming around the world.

Now, if the mysterious and dangerous Calm Belt is controlled by the Rockefeller Kingdom and the pirates, the blockade carefully constructed by the World Government will instantly collapse and become a meaningless piece of waste paper.

The sharp blades of the Rockefeller Kingdom and the pirates will sweep in like a storm and can reach any corner of the world.

This change is undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to the world government.

For eight hundred years, the World Government has been maintaining world order and balance with its powerful strength and strict control.

Now this situation has been completely broken, and the world government has directly lost its strategic initiative over the world.

Once upon a time, the World Government could divide the world into different regions by simply blocking the two key locations of Mary Geoise and Upside Down Mountain.

The East China Sea and the North China Sea, as well as the West China Sea and the South China Sea, are isolated from each other and have little impact on each other.

The first and second halves of the Grand Line are even more difficult to communicate directly, and can only be done through the World Government's dedicated channel, or through Fish-Man Island at the risk of a mortality rate of up to 70%.

With the doldrums broken through, all of this will become a thing of the past.

The once indestructible barrier has now become fragile. The East China Sea and the North China Sea will no longer be two independent regions, but will be connected into one.

People in the New World can also take advantage of the doldrums to directly enter the East China Sea and the North Sea, and the original geographical restrictions are gone.

Once those powerful people from the Grand Line flood into the four seas, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the major kingdoms and forces in the four seas.

These powerful men from the Grand Line are extremely powerful. Their invasion is like a violent storm, which has absolutely crushed the local forces in the four seas.

Although the local forces of the four seas have certain advantages in their own territories, their strength is insignificant compared to those powerful forces coming out of the Grand Line.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, the local forces in the four seas were simply unable to compete with it and could only watch their territories being invaded and their power being weakened.

And this is exactly what the Five Elders are most worried about.

Because once the powerful people from the Grand Line pour into the Four Seas and disrupt the order of the Four Seas, it will be difficult for the World Government to collect Heavenly Gold from the Four Seas.

Heavenly Gold is one of the important financial sources of the World Government. If this income is lost, the operation of the World Government will be seriously affected.

Not only that, once order is lost in the world, the authority of the world government will also be greatly challenged.

The ability of the World Government to maintain its ruling position depends largely on the relative stability of the world.

If the world falls into chaos, the ruling foundation of the world government will be shaken and the significance of its existence will be greatly reduced.

What worries the World Government even more is that once the Four Seas begins to increase its strength through killing like the Grand Line, countless ambitious people will rise.

Once these ambitious people become powerful, they will inevitably pose a threat to the world government.

By then, how will the world government suppress these powerful individuals?

This series of problems made the Five Elders feel extremely pessimistic.

All along, the World Government has been deliberately weakening the power of the Four Seas in order to prevent the emergence of powerful forces in the Four Seas that would threaten the rule of the World Government.

Now that powerful people from the Grand Line are pouring into the four seas, this situation seems inevitable.

In this situation, the strong men in the four seas can either choose to join the navy and become the running dogs of the World Government; or join the pirates and become the enemy of the World Government; or become the guards of the kingdom and protect the peace.

But no matter which path they choose, it cannot change the fact that the power of the Four Seas has been weakened.

The World Government will never tolerate the emergence of a strong man with admiral-level strength in the Four Seas region.

This is because once such a strong person exists, the choices they face will become very limited: either they willingly join the World Government and become a member of its army; or they will be forced to become pirates and then be wanted and hunted by the World Government on various false charges.

This practice is not accidental, but a long-standing strategy of the world government.

They deliberately weakened the power of the Four Seas in order to prevent this vast region from becoming too powerful and posing a threat to the rule of the World Government.

After all, the area of the Four Seas is too vast, and its population and number of countries are ten times that of the Grand Route.

With such a huge population base, even if the chance of becoming a strong person is only one in a million, it means that there will be no less than a hundred people with the combat power of a general.

Imagine if these one hundred powerful admiral-level warriors united, they would be fully capable of directly overthrowing the rule of the World Government.

Because of this, the World Government would never allow Shikai to possess such a powerful force.

For those young people with talent, once their strength exceeds the school level, the world government will begin to pay attention to them.

These young people face only two choices: either choose to join a kingdom and get the protection of the kingdom; or accept the invitation of the navy and join the navy.

If these young people refuse the above two options, the forces of the world government will take the initiative to come to them and invite them in various ways.

The World Government will try every means to make these young people work for it to ensure that the power of the four seas is always under control.

Once they refuse, the World Government will not hesitate to accuse these people of all kinds of false charges and completely label them as pirates.

This means that these people will be forced to embark on the Grand Line, a road full of blood and killing, and engage in a desperate battle with other pirates.
