Chapter 640: No Longer Missing Out, Further Planning
Among the many superpowers, the Kronos Kingdom was the first to become active.
However, they used the Pluto Pirates as a cover.
Following closely were the Eternal Kingdom and the Landis Kingdom.
The Eternal Kingdom's Life Machine Technology had a profound and widespread influence on the entire Great Sea.
They even won multiple world-class awards worldwide.
Including the Peace Prize, Life Science Prize, and so on.
They held extremely high reputation in the scientific domain, attracting many young scientists and researchers to join the Eternal Kingdom because of this core technology.
Meanwhile, the Landis Kingdom established absolute ruling status in the world of media through Visual Den Den Mushi and the World Economic Journal.
Both Kingdoms gained enormous interests from this.
As for the Hilton Kingdom, being a World Government Affiliated Nation, it held considerable authority and status within the World Government.
As the Great Sea became increasingly chaotic, the price of gold continued to rise.
It could be said that in these past years, the Hilton Kingdom's wealth increased even without them doing anything.
Furthermore, Strongmen from the Rocks Era and the early Great Pirate Era participated in the Bloody Battle.
The most low-key were the Divine Light Empire and the Great Xia Kingdom.
One resided in the South Blue, and the other was hidden in the East Blue.
Over these past few decades, ever since the Rocks Era when they supported the Rocks Pirates to resist the World Government.
The various superpowers had actually become increasingly active.
Unlike in the past, when they were content to stay confined to their small corners.
Sometimes, they had to take the initiative.
Only by being proactive could they seize opportunities and obtain what they desired.
Otherwise, even great opportunities would be lost in vain, flying past their eyes.
The Downfall of the Great Kingdom Eight Hundred Years Ago and the establishment of the World Government – if the Kronos Kingdom and these other superpowers had wanted to, they could have participated.
If that had been the case, the current World Nobles would also include them.
Didn't they feel it was a pity?
Didn't they want to become Celestial Dragons?
Who would refuse to become a Celestial Dragon?
What was missed was missed; they wouldn't regret it.
And today, Eight Hundred Years later, they began their operation, taking the initiative into their own hands.
What was missed, what was lost, must be taken back.
More importantly, the World Government was wary of the superpowers; as long as the World Government existed, it would not cease its suppression of the superpowers.
Both the Landis Kingdom and the Kronos Kingdom had clear examples of this.
The World Government was enormous, a collection of many factions, which was why it was so powerful.
Therefore, to deal with the World Government, they needed to support powerful Pirates, and even rely on the strength of the entire New World's top-tier pirates to achieve this.
Even Hades had to admit the terrifying foundation of the World Government.
Although the World Government's strength had been weakened over many years.
In certain aspects, under the pressure from the outside world, the World Government's strength had actually increased.
The Holy Knights, and even the Five Elders, had seen their overall strength improved to a certain degree.
This was the impact caused by the Rocks Pirates directly threatening the World Government after the Battle of God Valley.
Overthrowing the World Government was not just about bringing the kingdom to a new peak, but also a measure of self-preservation.
It was about containing the World Government's strength.
Don't be fooled by how actively the various superpowers are currently targeting the World Government.
The World Government is in the open, while the superpowers are hidden.
Before the rise of the Rocks Pirates, it was the World Government that stood in the shadows, and they had to be constantly wary of the World Government's scheming.
The alliance of the various superpowers excluded another superpower, the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants.
The Giant Kingdom held the title of the World's Number One Powerhouse Nation, even when the reputation of the other superpowers was limited.
This made sense, as any Giant from Elbaf possessed considerable combatant strength, and they were a nation of warriors.
Aside from providing force, the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants had little else it could intervene in.
That would make them too conspicuous.
Another reason was that the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants was a natural Ally of the Great Kingdom Eight Hundred Years Ago, putting them in a hostile relationship with these superpowers in terms of stance.
Even the Kronos Kingdom never considered having the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants join them, despite the good connections between the two Kingdoms.
So, what would the various superpowers do next?
First, they would help the Flying Pirates restore their strength and expand as much as possible.
In the current New World, only the Flying Pirates would resist the World Government.
Although the Big Mom Pirates and the Monster Legion possessed such strength, they wouldn't do so.
Second, under the condition that they could control the Revolutionary Army and ensure it wouldn't pose a threat to them, they would support the Revolutionary Army's development.
The development of the Guild had reached a bottleneck.
The Great Sea needed Marines, so the existence of the Guild wouldn't truly affect the Marines' status.
On the contrary, due to the Guild's existence, some sea areas didn't require Marine protection, allowing the Marines to focus their energy elsewhere.
What they could do next was limited to the Marines and the Member Nations.
They would infiltrate the Marines, especially the Marines in the Four Seas.
Over the years, the various superpowers, and even those Member Nations, and certain factions in the Four Seas, had actually been doing this.
By now, the Marines in the Four Seas could truly be said to have been infiltrated like dice.
The Marines' internal structure was also colluding with various factions.
Such things were too numerous to count.
However, this wasn't enough.
They needed the Marines in the Four Seas to break away from the World Government and the control of Marine Headquarters.
They needed them to become independent entities.
This would mean the World Government losing the Four Seas as its base, which would be an absolutely fatal blow to the World Government.
Without the protection of the Marines, the Member Nations would also have no obligation to provide Heavenly Tribute to the World Government.
This would also mean the World Government would lose the majority of its Member Nations from its original foundation.
The kingdoms in each sea area could completely disregard the World Government and form their own joint governments, absorbing the Marines in their respective sea areas to form their own Marine forces.
This way, they could still receive Marine protection.
The cost they would pay might only be the military budget for the Marines, without needing to give the portion meant for the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
And the newly formed Marines would only need to protect a single sea area, without needing to confront the terrifying Great Pirates of the New World.
In terms of cost, it could be said to be significantly reduced.
The various superpowers had already begun planning this matter.
As long as they could persuade some kingdoms to unite, they could form a faction similar to the World Government, but limited to the range of a single sea area.
The Marines and the Member Nations were the foundation of the World Government.
This was all related to the Four Seas.
Losing the Four Seas, the World Government and the Marines would inevitably weaken.
The Marines' military strength would be greatly reduced.
The World Government would also not have enough funds to maintain its enormous scale.
Compared to supporting the Rocks Pirates and the Flying Pirates, this was the decisive blow against the World Government.
However, without the premise of the World Government weakening, no one would truly dare to do this.
Achieving this goal was not something that could be done overnight; it required at least a decade of accumulation.
They had waited for so many years, they could certainly afford to wait.
