"Long live Lord Roy!"
"Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!!"
Power was strength. With supreme authority, your will would exist like that of a god.
Following Roy's plans,
the East Blue had now begun to turn at full speed.
In the great torrent of the times, an individual human was nothing more than a tiny speck of dust.
After Roy stirred up a wave of loyalty across the entire East Blue, the troublemakers had all gone to meet the Pirate King, and those who remained undoubtedly acknowledged Roy's existence.
The East Blue was placed under full military administration.
This was an extraordinary measure Roy employed in extraordinary times.
With harsh rules, he forced the entire East Blue to develop in a fixed direction.
This was completely different from the freedom championed during the Great Pirate Era before Roy ruled the East Blue. It was another, harsher style.
If it had been any other time,
Roy's military rule would absolutely have sparked unprecedented riots.
But now, the entire world was on the verge of apocalypse, and the outside world was in complete chaos.
Therefore, under such circumstances, strict military administration, gathering all useful resources, and having everyone advance in the same direction were extremely necessary.
And although Roy had sealed off news of the East Blue from the outside world, he had never blocked the East Blue's people from learning about the outside world.
As the saying went, everything needed comparison.
When your own life felt unpleasant, then you witnessed the outside world become a living hell, you would look back and realize that your own days were unexpectedly not so bad.
Thus, through various methods, as well as the portrayal and propaganda of the apocalypse and the wars outside,
the incomparably cruel reality had twisted the entire East Blue into a single rope.
