Even Aramaki, who always believed in the supremacy of power, felt that the Celestial Dragons' slaughter game was too cruel.
In fact, Aramaki had not fully experienced the two or three years of wrongful imprisonment in the original timeline, and his mind was not completely twisted.
The Aramaki in this timeline was redeemed by the Wang Shi, not by the World Government, so he did not develop absolute worship for the Celestial Dragons' power.
Under the influence of Wang Shi and Yi Xiao, he, a former high-ranking police officer from the Taya Kingdom, did not become extreme and retained some of the sense of justice and compassion that a police officer should have.
Furthermore, under the influence of Wang Shi and the Seven-Star Sword Spirit, Aramaki's values have always remained consistent with Wang Shi's.
Wang Shi is dissatisfied with this kind of massacre competition among the Celestial Dragons, then he wouldn't like it either.
Spaden, deeply moved, felt utterly disgusted by the Celestial Dragons' Native Purge Tournament.
As a commoner from a chaotic island outside a non- Affiliated Nation, he could clearly feel being surrounded by countless warships and being wantonly slaughtered by the Celestial Dragons...
That kind of Despair, with nowhere to turn and nowhere to escape.
Fortunately, his home Belili Island, was neither a resource-rich island nor did its name offend the Celestial Dragons or the descendants of gods.
Otherwise, over the past eight hundred years, there has really been a chance that these non- Affiliated Nation islands would have been massacred by the Celestial Dragons.
"Even pirates aren't as wicked as the Celestial Dragons!"
Capone Bege, puffing on a cigar, his lips twitching slightly, turned the massacre into a cleansing contest, a traditional event, which was truly worse than the pirates' burning, killing, and looting.
Pirates are punished by the Navy.
The Celestial Dragons were beyond help, and they erased all information about them.
This is terrible.
"The Celestial Dragons have such cruel traditions. No wonder my ancestor left the Holy Land Mary Geoise, gave up the opportunity to become Celestial Dragons, and returned to Alabasta."
Princess Vivi stared wide-eyed in utter astonishment; even her father didn't know these secrets.
I thought the Celestial Dragons were already incredibly cruel for buying and killing slaves and civilians at will, but I never imagined there would be an even more brutal massacre competition.
Perhaps the Celestial Dragons' indifference and trampling on life was honed during the [Native Purge Tournament].
"Your Majesty, please don't become Holy Knight, don't become Celestial Dragons..."
Nami, Kaya, Maya, Nojiko, and other kind girls rushed towards Wang Shi, pleading with him with tears in their eyes.
The two Holy Knight invited Wang Shi to become Holy Knight.
Although he has been rejected by Wang Shi still seems to want to become Celestial Dragons.
They didn't want Wang Shi to become the kind of evil Celestial Dragons slaughtered civilians.
"Okay, okay, I will never be that damn Holy Knight..."
"I won't become one of those Celestial Dragons who disregard life..."
Wang Shi comforted these kind-hearted girls.
All he ever wanted was the rights of the Celestial Dragons.
He didn't want to be either the deadly Holy Knight or the infamous Celestial Dragons.
It seems we need to find a way to obtain a special status and position no less prestigious than that of the Celestial Dragons.
For example, the Speaker of the East Blue Supreme Council at the Reverie...
To create a Four Blues noble family, second only to the Celestial Dragons?
"I don't want His Majesty to become Celestial Dragons either!"
With a smile, he spoke firmly. He hadn't known these secrets before and thought that if Wang Shi became Celestial Dragons, he could start from the highest level and change the entire Celestial Dragons class.
But now it seems that this won't work.
These Celestial Dragons are truly wicked.
To even associate His Wang Shi with the title of Celestial Dragons would feel like a stain on His Wang Shi's identity and reputation.
"Don't worry, I only want the power of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, I don't want to become Celestial Dragons."
Seeing that everyone's disgust for the Celestial Dragons had increased several levels, Wang Shi calmly spoke up.
He deliberately revealed the "Native Purge Tournament" to make everyone hate the Celestial Dragons even more, and at the same time, he wanted to help Kuma resolve his inner conflicts.
We should try to win over this descendant of the Buccaneer Tribe.
···
"Your Majesty inquired about missions with non- Affiliated Nation from Kuma. Is he perhaps trying to find the island where the Celestial Dragons are holding this year's Native Purge Tournament?"
"Your Majesty intends to disrupt this indigenous extermination ceremony to save the civilians?"
"Does His Majesty intend to take action against the Celestial Dragons?"
The clever advisors, Laffitte, Capone Bege, and Robin, quickly asked questions.
"If we can find them, besides trying to rescue them, striking at the Celestial Dragons is also an important part of the mission."
Wang Shi's main goal was to further tarnish the Celestial Dragons' reputation, and even push Celestial Dragons completely to the opposite side of humanity.
Saving lives was just a side effect.
Wang Shi admitted that he truly didn't care about the lives of those unfamiliar indigenous people.
But in front of Yixiao, Kuma, and the women, he always had to maintain his high-class image.
"In that case, the World Government won't let us off the hook?" Laffitte quickly asked Wang Shi.
"We don't need to lift a finger. Just find the location and spread the word. There's the Revolutionary Army, the pirates, and even some righteous marines who're completely unaware..."
Wang Shi chuckled softly. In the original timeline, Yi Xiao fought with Aramaki in order to release those slaves from the Holy Land, but in the end, nothing happened.
However, the Goa Empire could easily use another identity, under the guise of 'rescuing the Celestial Dragons,' to rescue Celestial Dragons.
They could even shift the blame for killing the Celestial Dragons onto the Revolutionary Army or the pirates.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Laffitte laughed; he knew Wang Shi's thoughts weren't so simple.
In addition, there were previous Big News in the newspapers about Fire Fist Ace, Fist Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji.
Laffitte speculated that not only was Wang Shi fighting against the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates, but even the Navy had been tricked.
Now that Fist Garp has been dismissed, Black Arm Zephyr, and Kuzan are slacking off, it's clear how badly the Marine Headquarters' key forces have been betrayed by someone.
As everyone's gaze converged, Kuma slowly shook his head.
"My mission for the past few months has been primarily focused on combating pirates, searching for a suitable candidate for the Shichibukai, and successfully making contact with Miss Bakkin and Weevil. and his mother."
Kuma revealed the mission he was carrying out, but did not mention the mission to find islands outside the Affiliated Nation.
"It seems Saint Saturn doesn't trust you."
"That makes sense. You escaped from him back then, so he wouldn't let you have any more contact with this Celestial Dragons tradition."
Wang Shi stroked his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that there were no clues about Kuma Shichibukai.
Even Stussy's side couldn't find any information.
Should Wang Shi look for the answer among the Fleet Admiral and the Marine Admiral?
Suddenly, Wang Shi thought of the two candidate Admiral who had not participated in the Paramount War.
To become Marine Admiral, how could one possibly refuse the Celestial Dragons' obedience test?
When Akainu Sakazuki and Kuzan went to destroy Ohara, it was probably a special mission by the World Government and the Five Elders to test these two monstrous Vice Admiral.
As for Fujitora Issho and Ryokugyu Aramaki's special recruitment, it was a special circumstance of the era.
The original list of Admiral for Admiral was the normal promotion process.
It seems we need to have Stussy and Morgans thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Momousagi Gion and Chaton Tokikake.
Perhaps these two candidates for Admiral will be involved in missions related to the [Native Purge Tournament], providing security for the Celestial Dragons.
