Harden gasped for a few heavy breaths before letting go. Dawell staggered after landing and almost fell down.

"Clow, you send Mayor Davie off the ship." William ordered Clowe, who was calm from beginning to end.

After he gave the order, he said to Dawell, who was still shocked, "Mayor Dawell, I said that my subordinates and I are different from other pirates. Next, we will be docked here for a while. We usually rest on our own boats. You can let the residents of your town return to their homes with peace of mind. If there is any news about the remaining bandits, you can come to me. If you find that my crew members hurt the residents of the town, you can also come to me."

After William finished speaking, he ignored Dawell's response and waved to Clow to take Dawell off the ship.

After both of them left, William turned around and looked at Harden, who was still angry because of Dawell's slander of One Piece.

"He is a fool who was brainwashed by the world government, and he is full of prejudice and misunderstandings about One Piece!" Harden said angrily.

"His hometown has just been looted by pirates. He is old enough to be our grandfather, but he still has to bow down and beg for mercy from us pirates. In his opinion, what caused all this was the era of the Great Pirates. If you say that One Piece, he will of course beg for anger," William said calmly. "It is understandable that he says these words. He is a civilian and the object of pirates robbery. After the opening of the era of the Great Pirates, a bunch of pirates emerged. There are different positions. It is understandable that he hates One Piece. Otherwise, should he still love One Piece?"

"He didn't understand the greatness of the One Piece and the Great Piece era, nor did he understand the impact of the One Piece and the Great Piece era on the navy." Harden said indignantly.

At this time, Selkirk, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "He, and those civilians, of course, don't understand these things. Do you know why?"

"No matter what the purpose of "One Piece" is, this mayor, this small town, and even other villages and towns that have had the same situation in other seas, the common people living in these places are all groups sacrificed by "One Piece". They are tortured by the era opened by One Piece. So do you think they will recognize and understand this era and the people who opened it, think they are great? As a pirate, will you agree and understand the greatness of your navy constantly chasing you?"

Selkirk was born in the North Sea, and his pirates were far more rampant than the East Sea where he was now. Later, he went to the great route where murderers were rampant. He had to see how much damage the rampant pirates caused to civilians more clearly than Harden.

Harden stopped talking, and William said to him when he saw this: "Go back to the room and calm down."

When Harden left, Selkirk, who had seemed a little taciturn after seeing the execution on the shore, also returned to his room alone.

Only William and Alamis were left on the deck at this time.

William left the table and came to the bow of the boat. He narrowed his eyes towards the town in the distance in the sea breeze. Alamis stood silently behind him.

"When I got here, I remembered the innocent woman I killed again." William said with a sigh.

Alamis grinned: "What's the matter? You don't know what kind of people Denton and the others are. If they fall into their hands, the woman will not be able to escape, and she will suffer a lot of torture before she dies."

"But I didn't expect that the navy came soon after I killed her. Maybe I should delay the time."

"You can't predict the future, and not to mention that Bamond and a group of people were surrounding us, dragging us, saying lightly. We didn't have the skills we are now, so we could protect a woman from them?" Alamis frowned: "You are too soft-hearted, to ordinary people who can only run away with the strong."

"Do you have any questions about what I do on weekdays?" William turned around and asked without being angry at Alamis' tone.

Alamis nodded. If it were the past, he might have asked questions impatiently, but from the death of Wallon and now becoming a cadre of a large pirate group, he has grown a lot. At least he can resist curiosity. He will speak out until now when there are no outsiders.

"I can't understand your attitude towards the mayor and those civilians. Is it just a group of ordinary people who need to be wronged by the people on the ship? They are all the people who fight in normal times." Alamis asked.

"But the main body of this world is composed of these ordinary people," William asked after silently lit a cigarette, exhaling a sip of smoke, "Do you know what the most terrifying part of the Navy is?"

"general?"

"No, even if the current general dies immediately for unknown reasons, they can promote the new candidates in the shortest time. The reason why they have this foundation is that they are rooted in these ordinary people you disdain. Countless 'ordinary people' have been involved in the navy's ranks in the name of 'justice'. There are always some people here that are not so ordinary."

William said calmly: "If you want the spire of the pyramid, you need to have a huge base first."

Alamis frowned and said nothing.

"This is just the navy," William said with emotion. "Where is the world government?"

Alamis seemed to figure it out and asked, "Do you want to learn from the world government or the navy? How do you learn it? We are just pirates!"

"Yes, if we were a group of thieves who only burn, kill, loot, and destroy everywhere but don't know how to build, they would never be able to compare with the world government and navy with a program," William said softly, and then asked Alamis: "What do you think of the world government?"

Alamis sneered disdainfully.

William laughed at this.

How many evil deeds does the world government do in this world?

Let’s talk about the many slave workers in the Kingdom of “Tchila Wolf” on the bridge in the East China Sea, they simply don’t agree to join the world government.

The descendants of the twenty kings who founded the world government regarded themselves as creators and possessed various privileges. They were called the world nobles and the "Celestial Dragon Man".

In normal times, the world government will not hesitate to denounce the navy's highest combat power "generals" to maintain the dignity of these nobles, which makes them arrogant and domineering to a certain extent, and even disdain to breathe the same air as other humans, so they usually carry special masks like astronauts.

The Tianlong people themselves still retain the slave culture. They will capture people of all races as slaves, regardless of whether you are a citizen of the world government franchise.

As for the government, corruption is rampant and the system is backward, and even the world government's face is not much better. The evil deeds of this regime are endless, and many of its policies and actions are not something that a normal regime can do.

But even such a bastard regime can still gain the support of civilians.

"The world government is such a bastard, but the common people still support it. What do you think is the reason?" William asked.

"They are stupid!" Alamis said disdainfully.

"Wrong, because they have no choice," William shook his finger, his eyes flashed. "People born in troubled times hope that peace will come. Most people in the world hope that someone can suppress this chaotic world and end this cruel era. No matter how bastard or powerless the world government is, they are indeed persevering in pursuing the pirates."

Regardless of the purpose, the world government and the navy are indeed making efforts to end the era of great pirates in the name of "justice".

William's eyes were sharp, "Putting up troubled times is what the people want. The world government and the navy have this intention and the ability is the best. Therefore, those who hope for peace will pinch their noses and support this regime. What if they have a better choice? They may not be truly supporting this regime!"

Alamis finally understood what William meant. He shivered and looked around. After seeing that there was no one else around him, he whispered: "You, don't talk nonsense to the outside world."

"I will only say to those who can trust," William smiled indifferently when he looked at him, "You go and have a rest, too."

Alamis responded, walked behind the boat, looked back halfway, and found that William was still standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the town motionless like a statue, not knowing what he was thinking.
