Chapter 787: Attitude of Despair
Even if the World Government were to deal with the Kronos Kingdom, they would have to wait until Top-tier Monsters like Hades died and the Kronos Kingdom weakened.
That would be a matter for one or two hundred years from now.
Furthermore, the World Government itself had differing attitudes internally.
Perhaps due to the changing situation on the Great Sea and the weakening of the World Government, a minority of more open-minded World Nobles also realized that the World Government needed to undergo change.
The most direct approach was to increase the number of World Noble Families.
There were Twenty Kings who initially established the World Government.
However, there were only nineteen Celestial Dragon Families.
The Nefeltari Family, the Royal Family of Alabasta, did not reside in the Holy Land for certain reasons.
If the Tartarus Family were to join the World Government, it could just fill one of the empty spots.
The idea was good.
But it was rejected by the vast majority of Celestial Dragons.
Families and factions that already had close connections with the Tartarus Family naturally didn't mind and were happy to see the Tartarus Family establish a presence in the Holy Land.
After all, they were already Allies.
With Tartarus present, they could even secure more interests.
But what about the other families?
Currently, the Tartarus Family was incredibly powerful.
Even excluding the Pluto Pirates and the Kronos Kingdom, the strength possessed by the Tartarus Family alone was terrifying.
Among the numerous Celestial Dragon Families, they would immediately rank first, surpassing the Ferland Family to become the strongest family.
It should be known that the Ferland Family, not counting the strength they secretly controlled, had three Top Tier Combatants exposed on the surface.
This was even after the Ferland Family sacrificed a Guard Member of the Holy Knights in a bloody battle.
Among these three, one was added over the past ten-plus years.
Who knows if the Ferland Family still had hidden combatants, those old monsters who had gone into retirement.
After all, whenever an heir capable of inheriting the position of God's Knights Commander-in-Chief appeared, the older generation of Ferland Family members would go into retirement, yielding to the rookie.
Compared to the Five Elders, they were incredibly young.
Having long held the throne of God's Knights Commander-in-Chief, the Ferland Family had no intention of coveting the position of Five Elders.
But they were not without Monsters from the same period as the Five Elders.
It should be known that at their peak, the Ferland Family simultaneously possessed the God's Knights Commander-in-Chief and one Five Elders.
Currently, the leading figure of the new generation among the Celestial Dragons also came from the Ferland Family.
Figarland Saya Saint, Shanks' younger brother, was only fourteen years old.
Under the Ferland Family's elite cultivation system,
He exhibited top-tier talent and terrifying combat ability.
Furthermore, he also exhibited astonishing talent in wisdom.
The idea for solving the Void Century problem was proposed by him.
The current Five Elders even had the idea of cultivating him into a Five Elders candidate; becoming the God's Knights Commander-in-Chief seemed somewhat wasteful of his talent.
If the Tartarus Family were to establish a presence in the Holy Land, who knows how many of their interests would be infringed upon.
Extending their tentacles to the CP Agencies, various Departments, the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, and even the Marines.
The Tartarus Family having such an ability was a terrifying matter.
The current structure of the Holy Land would be broken.
A large number of factions would align with the powerful Tartarus Family, becoming affiliates of the Tartarus Family, helping the Tartarus Family completely establish a firm foothold in the Holy Land.
And the Tartarus Family could also bring them the interests they desired.
Although the Kronos Kingdom's main Sphere of Influence was in the New World, simply by relying on the trade system connecting the World, participating in it could yield considerable interests.
This was something many Celestial Dragons did not want to see.
Especially since their current factions were not strong, far inferior to the Tartarus Family, they only wanted to properly protect their own interests.
Family interests were always greater than everything.
Maintaining the noble identity of the Celestial Dragons.
None of this could break the Celestial Dragon Code.
And the Tartarus Family establishing a presence in the Holy Land violated the laws formulated by the Twenty Kings who established the World Government.
Merely allowing Hades to become a Celestial Dragon, possessing the identity and authority of a Celestial Dragon, but unable to pass it down to his descendants.
This held no meaning for Hades, who had already reached the peak.
He didn't need Admirals for protection; whatever he wanted, the Kronos Kingdom could help him obtain.
There was even no Celestial Dragon who possessed power and strength stronger than him.
Except for That Person above the Empty Throne, the "King of the Celestial Dragons"!
Furthermore, even if the World Government agreed to let the Tartarus Family establish a presence in the Holy Land, the Tartarus Family might not necessarily agree.
Because their foundation was in the New World.
Most of their interests were in the New World.
Joining the World Government was equivalent to becoming enemies with these Great Pirates.
The reason the Kronos Kingdom could maintain such a detached stance was precisely because of its absolute neutrality and non-interference with other factions.
At that time, the Kronos Kingdom would definitely suffer heavy losses.
And they would also have to help the World Government become enemies with so many Great Pirates; only a fool would do that.
At the very least, before the World Government solved the crisis from the Pirates, the Tartarus Family would not agree.
But if the Pirate crisis was solved, the World Government also wouldn't need the strength of the Tartarus Family.
After all, over the past eight hundred years, opportunities for World Nobles to take action had been very few.
It was only in the recent twenty years that they increased.
Tsuru knew this intelligence.
It was hard to imagine what would happen if the Tartarus Family established a presence in the Holy Land, but it would definitely change the structure of the entire World.
For the Marines and the World Government, it would most likely be a positive change.
Regarding this, Tsuru's heart did not reject it.
Adding another Celestial Dragon Family had no effect on the Marines.
If a young monster like Barrett were added, it would definitely make the Marines' strength surge, enough for resistance against the pirate strength of the New World.
Hades was a smart person.
The corrupt and rigid World Government needed some fresh blood to be reborn.
However, all of this was fantasy.
In her opinion, this was again something that could not happen.
The World Nobles exhibited terrifying strength.
Precisely because of this, it made people feel even more despair.
To change the World Government, one needed to change the World Nobles.
The stronger the strength of the World Nobles, the existence of the Celestial Dragons could not be eliminated.
This kind of corrupt order was also more solid, difficult to change.
This kind of despair led to some subtle changes within the Marines.
