One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 489 Why We Fight

Vegapunk's live broadcast ended amid the shock of people around the world.

The history of eight hundred years ago, the great war that affected the world, the powerful ancient weapons, and the group of people who knew everything! Every piece of news was an unprecedented shock to the world.

For the first time, the serious and fundamental question of where the world is going was placed before everyone.

As for the reason why the live broadcast ended, it was Profik who later learned it from Long, an eyewitness.

The CP0 team leader who was tasked with destroying Vegapunk fought back and accidentally escaped to the head of a scrap robot on the island. As a result, Long's storm attack knocked the robot's head crooked.

Unexpectedly, the agent was fine, but the global live broadcast came to an abrupt end.

It seems that the place where Vegapunk, the chief scientist of the World Government, hid the Den Den Mushi is in the head of this ancient abandoned robot!

After the live broadcast ended, the citizens of Wano Country still spontaneously gathered in the square in front of the Shogun's Mansion. In terms of political sensitivity, the citizens of Wano Country are definitely more sensitive than most people in this world.

At least, they have vaguely sensed the delicate relationship between Wano Country and the World Government.

Vegapunk's "explosive news" at this time is likely to have a significant impact on Wano Country.

They want to hear what the protector of Wano Country says, they want to hear what the leader who leads Wano Country to prosperity says, they want to hear what the hero who liberated Wano Country from the rule of Orochi and Kaido says!

"Brother, Vegapunk's live broadcast is over!"

Star opened the door and walked into Profek's room.

"Yes, it's over."

Profek's eyes were still looking out the window as he simply repeated.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Star didn't seem to expect that Profik's attitude towards this live broadcast would be so "cold".

"say what?"

"The truth of the world, the true history, Wano Country... You can say anything! Everyone is waiting!"

"Star..." Profick stood up, "I respect Vegapunk very much. From this perspective - and only from this perspective, I am willing to believe in the text he interpreted."

"But," he walked past Star and headed for the door, "who can guarantee that what is recorded in the historical text represents the real history?"

After all, historical texts are nothing more than words written by "human beings". Anything done by humans may contain falsehoods, fabrications, and deceptions.

"The World Government can fabricate history to conceal something, and the 'Giant Kingdom' can also fabricate history to deceive... Is history, the truth, important?"

"Of course it is important. Historians and archaeologists spend their entire lives exploring, pursuing, and interpreting in order to get closer to the truth. They are even willing to sacrifice their lives for this."

"As a layman, I pay them the highest respect."

Profik paused, and faces flashed through his mind one after another. Whether it was the world of One Piece or the world Profik once lived in, there was always a group of people who kept exploring for the truth.

"But to decide today's affairs based solely on the history of 800 years ago can only be regarded as reckless, impulsive and irresponsible."

Star followed Profik out of the room and the door closed automatically.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"The reason why we oppose the World Government is not because of the crimes committed by the Twenty Kings, not to explore the truth of history, not to inherit Joy Boy's will, and certainly not to continue the so-called 'Great War' of the past."

In a sense, Shanks and Roger's ideas are not wrong. Only the other party in that great war, the "D Clan" known as the "natural enemy of God", can continue this great war.

But Profek's philosophy is different. For him, the battle between Dawn and the World Government is not a continuation of the huge war, but another brand new war.

Whether it is the cause of the war, the goals pursued, or the course of the war, it will be completely different.

Profique's voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing great determination. It echoed over Wano Country through Wano Country's broadcasting system. "The reason why we oppose the World Government is that it has no way of accomplishing the task of governing this ocean! On the one hand, taxes are heavy, thieves are swarming, and people are living in poverty. The people of the entire world are living in dire straits."

"On the other hand, the Celestial Dragons did whatever they wanted, raising slaves and squandering money. They were above the laws and order of the entire world and became the source of evil in the entire world..."

"The World Government, on the surface, is trying to maintain order in the ocean. But fundamentally, it is for the benefit of the world's nobles. The so-called 'World Government' is, in the final analysis, just a tool to protect the interests of the Celestial Dragons."

"The so-called 'democracy' of the Five Elders is merely a cover for the dictatorship of the Celestial Dragon King."

"We will fight the World Government, but not for the so-called history and truth, nor for a certain letter in our names, or for 'destiny'."

"Vegapunk believes that the war between the World Government and the Great Kingdom has nothing to do with 'right or wrong', but is just a conflict between different 'ideas'. Perhaps this was true eight hundred years ago."

"But it is not the case now. The people need wealth, so we must abolish the Celestial Gold. The people need security, so we must abolish slavery. The people need justice and equality, so we must abolish privileges! And the source of all these evils lies in the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"

"If the world government is unwilling to meet the needs of the people, then the people will have no choice but to overthrow it! If the world government cannot meet the needs of the people, then the only outcome will be to be overthrown!"

“This is not a conflict between ideas, but a conflict between life and death, between justice and power, between the people and the dictator!”

"We fight for ourselves, for survival, for the millions of people in this world who are struggling to survive, and for building a more fair, more just, more harmonious and better new world."

"We must fight, so that there will no longer be any more heavenly gold that destroys families in this world!"

"We must fight so that there will be no more lawless world nobles in this world!"

"We must fight so that there will be no more corrupt and incompetent rulers in this world!"

"We must fight so that there will be no more poverty, sorrow and despair in this world!"

"We must fight to build a new world of freedom, fairness, justice, harmony and beauty!"

He walked step by step to the top of the city wall, below the city wall were the people of Wano Country.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"The war is about to begin,"

"Sacrifice is inevitable,"

"The new world is right before our eyes!"

Profick took a deep breath and announced loudly: "Order! Wano Country and Dawn will enter a 'state of war' from today!"

"In the name of Wano Country's 'Gokoku Mingwang' and Dawn Commander-in-Chief, I hereby declare war on the World Government!"
