Under the Light of the Pirate

Chapter 173 The upcoming prelude
Tacit understanding, this is a very magical word.

In a sense, the so-called "tacit understanding" is just a "fig leaf" for "tearing face".

At least, that's how it seemed to Murphys.

The reason is simple. The Holy Alliance headed by Murphys has long been torn apart from the world government with the Tianlong people at its core.

It's just that, if Murphys wants to completely overthrow the rule of the world government on this sea, it is not enough to rely solely on the power of the Holy Alliance.

And the world government didn't use enough power when it was easiest to destroy the Holy Alliance, and when there was a good opportunity later, the world government also chose to watch the show.

Now, if the world government wants to destroy the Holy Alliance, the price it has to pay will be a bit high.

If the world government's confidant is only the Holy Alliance, then the world government will destroy the Holy Alliance even at the cost of a serious injury.

However, the existence of the Revolutionary Army, like a 'relief agent', has maintained a certain 'tacit understanding' between the World Government and the Holy Alliance.

The reason is very simple. Assuming that the World Government and the Holy Alliance are fighting with all their strength, the final result is the death of the Holy Alliance, and the World Government will be seriously injured.

In this case, the revolutionary army, which was originally kicked out by the world government, will get a big deal.

Therefore, the world government does not want to seriously injure itself and let the revolutionary army steal the chicken.

The Holy Alliance also doesn't want to do their best to fight a battle with the World Government, and then make a wedding dress for the Revolutionary Army.

Although for the Holy Alliance, if Murphys can turn on the transformation of the fallen angel, one person is enough to push the world government flat.

But for Murphys, once the transformation of the fallen angel appears, it means that Robin is in danger of dying.

If this is the case, then Murphys would rather temporarily 'compromise' with the World Government, wait until the Holy Alliance has developed to a certain level, and then start a battle with the World Government to decide the world.

It is precisely because of the "tacit understanding" between the World Government and the Holy Alliance that they don't want to cheapen the revolutionary army, so at least for a long period of time, the World Government and the Holy Alliance will maintain a state of peaceful coexistence.

As for the 'opportunity' to break this 'tacit understanding', it needs the world government to successfully 'copy' the ancient weapon 'Pluto', or the Holy Alliance grows to a certain extent.

Emmm...

Or after the World Government kills the Revolutionary Army, or after the Holy Alliance annexes the Revolutionary Army, the chances of war between the World Government and the Holy Alliance will also increase significantly.

But now, although there will be some "small frictions" between the World Government and the Holy Alliance, a big war will not happen.

The simplest situation is that the world government canceled the bounty offered to all members of the Holy Alliance, and recognized the existence of the Holy Alliance as a 'legal and regular' existence.

On the side of the Holy Alliance, they also withdrew the troops that were scattered all over the world and were responsible for looting the 'gold in the sky'.

The current Holy Alliance, after the bounty of all members has been cancelled, no matter what their previous identities were, the current Holy Alliance is somewhat similar to the existence of a non-world government member country.

Territory, people, status on the sea, etc., etc., are all upright and legal.

But sea area defense and homeland defense need to be taken care of by themselves. Once they are robbed by pirates (regardless of whether they are real or fake), the world government and navy will not take any responsibility.

Emmm...

Regardless of whether it is recognized by the world government or not, the Holy Alliance is like this.

But with the official statement of the world government, this has led to the eyes of most people on the sea, the Holy Alliance is already an existence similar to an independent 'country'.

Instead of the previous one, what was advertised was like an enlarged version of the Pirates.

The most obvious situation is that with this statement from the World Government, some nobles from countries in the first half of the Great Sea Route and all over the world dared to enter the territory of the Holy Alliance in the New World for tourism or trade.

After all, a 'country' that can suppress two pirate groups of the 'Four Emperors' level in the New World still reassures these businessmen and nobles.

The emergence of this situation has greatly stimulated the economic development of the Holy Alliance.

Although this "mysterious tacit understanding" between the Holy Alliance and the World Government made a certain cloaked man in Baltigo look confused.

But for the Holy Alliance and the World Government, it is good that the outcome of the war between the two parties is borne by both parties.

For forces like the Revolutionary Army who only do things behind their backs and don't understand, just stay cool.

In case the World Government and the Holy Alliance fight in a dark and bloody way, and in the end, the revolutionary army, which can do nothing and will only add to the obstruction, wins the final victory, then the World Government and the Holy Alliance Can die of depression.

Therefore, although neither the World Government nor the Holy Alliance has said anything, but when the World Government and the Holy Alliance go to war, the Revolutionary Army will still be hidden in the dark as it is now.

Then the world government and the Holy Alliance will definitely "join hands" to "clear" the "peach picking" of the revolutionary army before the official war.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and two tigers cannot accommodate rats in the sewer!

……

Murphys stared at the empty wine glass in his hand, recalling the 'tacit understanding' between the Holy Alliance and the World Government in his mind.

Now that the bounties on all members of the Holy Alliance have been withdrawn, this 'trip' will be even more fanfare.

Murphys' idea is very simple, it is best to 'force' the world government to restore the reward on the Holy Alliance, and then the Holy Alliance will have an excuse to implement another kind of 'tacit agreement'.

Although the bounty on his body was revoked and the Holy Alliance was 'recognized', there were many benefits for the Holy Alliance.

But to be reasonable, although the reputation benefits the Holy Alliance a lot, but in terms of actual benefits, these merchants and nobles who enter the Holy Alliance for tourism or trade bring economic growth to the Holy Alliance, which is really not as good as the previous dispatch. The income brought back by the troops who went out to plunder the 'gold in the sky' in the four seas.

Therefore, compared to the so-called 'reputation', in this chaotic and dark sea, Murphys, who believes in 'strength first', pays more attention to the strength of the Holy Alliance.

The development of troops or explosive soldiers and so on, all need a lot of "tickets" to support.

Although the actions of these looting troops, even with the intelligence support of Robin and Stussy, there were not small losses.

But compared to the benefits that 'Heavenly Gold' can bring, the losses of these looting troops are still acceptable.

After all, in this sea, even if everything is lacking, there will be no shortage of pirates who are not afraid of death.

Even flickering and threatening, a group of pirates who could be used as cannon fodder just appeared.

As for the 'inspiration' and 'baptism' without the holy light, how can these pirates be obedient...

Learn about slave collars?
Whether this method is too cruel to those cannon fodder pirates, Murphys said that he doesn't care at all.

They are just pirates, so where can innocent people go? !

In Murphys' heart, even if he didn't harm these pirates, these pirates would harm civilians when they turned around.

In this way, Murphys will have no psychological pressure to use slave collars to control these pirates to be cannon fodder to plunder the 'gold in the sky'.

Although Murphys never thought of himself as a good person, Murphys still couldn't do such a thing as arresting innocent civilians as cannon fodder.

But catching pirates as cannon fodder, Murphys is still very happy.

As for whether these pirates have just set out to sea or have been pirates for a long time, it doesn't make any difference to Murphys.

Since you choose to become a pirate, you have to pay the price for your choice.

Don't mention any dreams, if you really want to take risks so much, remember, there is still such a saying as an adventurer on the sea.

As for pirates, it's just a matter of whether there is a bottom line or not.

But one thing, there may be good people among the pirates, but there are absolutely no good pirates.

A good pirate group has no room to survive in the 'pirate circle'.

As for the Straw Hat Pirates in the future, I won't talk about the navy, which is a 'standard configuration' for pirates.After advancing into the city, the Straw Hat Pirates really integrated into the 'Pirate Circle'.

Compared with Whitebeard's heroic behavior of a frontal tough steel navy, Murphys is really too lazy to complain about Luffy's behavior of sneaking into the city to save people, but even letting go of a group of really vicious big pirates .

Reasonable, anyway, with the "Destiny's Child Halo", Luffy will go directly to the Chambord Islands to hijack a Celestial Dragon, or make a big move to attract an admiral to reduce the pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates. OK

But in the end?

Apart from exposing his identity and letting the world know that he has an awesome father and an awesome grandfather, what help has he done?
Emmm...

Did 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach a favor.

In this way, it can't be said that Luffy's rioting in the city has no effect, at least he has personally 'created' a pirate group of the 'Four Emperors' level.

ho ho ho ho ho...

As for Mr.3's candle key, I always feel...forcibly proving that Luffy is right to make a fuss in the city?

Cough!

In addition, there is also a quack nicknamed 'Monkey D. Yellow Ape', and the admiral whose real name is Polusalino is crazily released into the sea there.

All kinds of crazy beeps before opening.

'Washing white' - anyway, kick at the speed of light, if your partner doesn't come to save you, I won't kick, wait for your partner to come, try to kick all of them, but if the kick misses, it will be an accident.

Lasers can break such a small key, but they just can't hit such a big head.

'Whitewashing' - as an admiral, only by breaking the key can you show the admiral's style.

The land-washing ult not only avoided Luffy perfectly, but also stopped his chasing troops along the way.

'Washing white' - this can't be blamed on Polusalino's 'letting the sea', who told Luo to open a submarine? ~
This……

Forget it, let's think of Polusalino as the "salted fish" who is afraid of Kapna's "Iron Fist of Love" afterwards.

Thinking of Polusalino, a 'distant relative' of the Monchi family, Murphys really wanted to laugh.

Although Murphys has very little memory of his previous life, even if ordinary people forget something, they still have a high chance of remembering it when they encounter similar situations, let alone Murphys. The top powerhouse at sea.

Now if you ask Murphys to recall the details of One Piece, Murphys will definitely not be able to remember, but some big events still have some impressions.

What's more, there are "intelligence agents" of the Holy Alliance in the East China Sea, who are watching the actions of "Child of Destiny" Luffy almost 24 hours a day, so Murphys will not miss some exciting future events in the world of pirates.

As for the reason for staring at Luffy almost around the clock, this was a decision made by Murphys after he realized the horror of the 'world consciousness' and the 'world correction line'.

Originally, there were 'intelligence agents' staring at Luffy, but that was just a bit of bad taste of Murphys.

But now, Murphys wants to quickly push the "false Child of Destiny" and "true world consciousness tool man" in his eyes to the road of rebelling against the world government by mastering Luffy's "schedule".

Without Luffy, the 'tool man of world awareness' standing in front, Murphys was a little worried.

There is no way, if the Holy Alliance fired the first shot against the world government, the 'world consciousness' and the 'world correction line' will do something wrong, Murphys feels that the Holy Alliance is easy to lose.

So, anyway, Luffy is already a 'world awareness tool man', so why don't you use it yourself.

With Luffy leading the Straw Hat Pirates and Dragon leading the Revolutionary Army to withstand the pressure of the World Government, wouldn't it be good for the Holy Alliance to develop in the rear with peace of mind?
Murphys, who was going to "add billions of points" to Luffy, the "son of destiny", during this "trip", looked at the stars in the night sky, and subconsciously squinted his eyes.

"Dawn of Adventure?"

"It should be said that it is the prelude to the end of the Tianlong people?"

"Let's make a fuss, don't make a fuss and be more realistic."

"How can I pull away..."

"...What about the prelude to the coming of the Holy Light?!"

"Ah……"
