Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Sabo raised the corner of his mouth and explained to Kuzan:

"In the Battle of Golden City, the Liaoyuan Army and the Straw Hat Pirates won an almost complete victory. The Navy should have been completely annihilated."

"But these people who should have sunk into the sea were rescued by the Liaoyuan Army and returned to the naval base safely. What would others think?"

"Although Sakaski is strict, he is not so ruthless." Kuzan replied: "He can't execute these soldiers because of a failed battle, otherwise I won't let them go."

At this moment, Kuzan still thought that Sabo was planning to achieve the goal of dividing the navy through this.

But the answer is obviously no.

"That's Sakaski's attitude." Sabo continued, "At this time, you need to look at the problem from the perspective of the Five Elders, Commander Kuzan."

With just one sentence, Kuzan broke through the window paper in front of him.

There was silence on the Den Den Mushi side, but Sabo was not in a hurry. He just drank tea and waited quietly.

Until the hearty laughter of Den Den Mushi came.

"Hahaha, I understand, Brother Sabo."

Kuzan laughed heartily: "It seems that I accidentally made an amazing decision. If you hadn't said it, I would never have thought that it would have such an effect."

The reason why the two people have such different ideas is also due to their previous experiences.

One is the pride of the navy, the absolute pride, while the other is a rebel who has to hide from place to place in order to survive.

When it comes to their innate sense of justice, the two are equally matched.

But when it comes to understanding the ugliness of human nature, Sabo is clearly more familiar with it.

His ideas are not complicated.

When a plan fails and one party involved in the plan suffers heavy losses while the other remains unscathed, suspicion automatically arises.

What's more, the former is the latter's superior.

In addition, there are already rifts between the two parties, and subsequent events will only magnify the contradiction infinitely.

Especially after knowing the hidden power of the World Government, Sabo could fully guess the subsequent developments.

The World Government is the absolute leader of the Navy and has absolute control.

If you want to sanction the navy, you don't even need to use a single soldier to make the navy panic.

When the navy's military budget is cut again and again, when the navy's warships are damaged but no one repairs them, when the navy finds that it has lost its previous transcendent status.

The results are clear at a glance.

There are too many people in this ocean who will speak up for others, but there is only one situation that will make them pick up weapons and prepare to fight for their lives.

Their interests have been violated.

This is the evil of human nature.

"However," Kuzan thought of something and continued, "If we want Sakaski to cooperate with us, this alone is not enough."

At this point, Kuzan even smiled: "Based on my understanding of that guy, after something like this happens, he will most likely run to Marijoa, smoke a cigar and curse the Five Elders."

"And that guy Borsalino, with his temperament, he won't even have any extra reaction."

"That's right. Now the only problem in achieving our goal is to gain Sakaski's support."

Sabo nodded in agreement with Kuzan's point of view.

It might work to use the evil of human nature to drive most of the middle and lower-level navy, but it would have little effect on people like Sakaski who have their own firm beliefs.

"For this, we need to wait for Luffy and the others."

The figures of Luffy and Byakuya appeared in front of Sabo's eyes: "Only by letting Sakaski see the true evil of the World Government can he make the right decision."

Sakaski is a difficult person to evaluate, but his greatest strength is his firmness and persistence in his beliefs.

He and Kuzan took different paths simply because they had different beliefs.

Kuzan will be indignant about the O'Hara incident and the slave incident, and will question the world government.

Because his justice starts from life.

But Sakaski won't, because his justice is based on the foundation that [the World Government and the Navy maintain world peace].

O'Hara's people were rebels in Sakaski's eyes, and the slaves were sacrifices necessary for peace in Sakaski's eyes.

Even the Tenjojin that caused the rampant pirates was something that should have existed in his eyes.

In his mind, these things could not form any concept of "the evils of the world government".

"The reason why he thinks pirates are evil is because these pirates destroy the peace on the sea and challenge the justice of the World Government and the Navy."

"Eliminate evil. This is Sakaski's justice."

Sabo was very patient and explained his analysis of Sakaski to Kuzan:

"It's difficult yet quite simple to get him to rebel against the World Government."

"That is to prove that the World Government is the root cause of the chaos in the ocean, that the World Government is the biggest pirate in this ocean, and that they, like the pirates, are destroying the peace of this ocean."

"And the blank hundred years is the evidence!"

"When the world government turns evil, Sakaski will point his guns at them without hesitation."

-

"Let's cooperate, otherwise the next time the World Government's guns will be pointed at us."

In the ancient castle on Krajekana Island, Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, is listening to the voice coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Hawkeye had no interest in the cooperation the other party mentioned.

He held the wine glass to one side, and after a while a figure came to his side and poured him half a glass of red wine.

The figure was wearing a black gothic dress with curly flowers and a tall hat with the same flowers on her head, and she looked very angry.

It was Perona who was knocked away by a bear on the Devil's Barque.

"Hmph, what a disgusting fellow."

After pouring the wine, Perona walked away muttering, unable to help but vent her anger on the ghost that followed her.

Hawkeye has long been accustomed to this.

He took a sip of red wine and said:

"I don't have to cooperate with you, and I don't care what the world government will do."

"You accepted the position of Shichibukai again after being expelled, and now you are ready to betray again. Do you really know what this means?"

"Sand crocodile, Crocodile."

At the same time, on an equally gloomy island in the New World, Crocodile let out a creepy laugh.

"Hehehe, betrayal?"

The island where he lived was dark all year round, with only a few flashes of lightning occasionally lighting up the room.

At this moment, Crocodile sat upright on the chair with his fingers crossed.

The flickering light in the room revealed half of his face.

"I never said that I wouldn't betray you if I joined the Shichibukai."

"It's you."

Crocodile changed the subject.

"Don't say you are loyal to the World Government. You just want to avoid trouble, don't you?"

"Former Navy Hunter, Hawkeye Mihawk."
