"Can't just stand by and watch all this happen..."
Sengoku narrowed his eyes, quickly thinking of a countermeasure: "We must find a way to make the Five Elders and the World Government change more for the sake of saving the world..."
"Even more naïve than our captain..."
Red Sand Sasori casually mocked Senju Hashirama, ignoring his captain who wanted to argue, and slowly asked, "You're a Navy Admiral, aren't you? Compared to the difficulty of saving the world, isn't it easier for them to silence those who know the truth or continue to suppress the voices of rebellion?"
Red Sand Sasori calmly revealed the truth: "If the King of the World had the Creation Divine Power of the Goddess of Rabbit, why would he hide in Mary Geoise all the time? The World Government wouldn't have cared about the blank hundred years of history either, right?"
"..."
Sengoku's heart sank.
"Ignorant and naïve people need guidance."
Red Sand Sasori no longer discussed this issue with Sengoku, coldly continuing, "Now you're our captive, you'd better follow everything we say..."
"..."
Sengoku's gaze fell on Red Sand Sasori, unable to decipher his thoughts, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? Creating chaos now is not a good choice! If humans have always been facing extinction according to the inscriptions, only a strong World Government can prevent it!"
"But..."
Red Sand Sasori stared at Sengoku, coldly continuing, "Surely we all know, but Sengoku cannot figure out how to make the Heavenly Celestial Dragons ruling the World Government do something they consider not worthwhile, right?"
"First, they'll never release the Goddess of Rabbit..."
Red Sand Sasori casually looked up towards the golden dome inside the palace: "Once the Devil Fruit User inheriting Joyboy's will reaches Laugh Tale and breaks the seal of the Goddess of Rabbit, she is unlikely to forgive the humans who once sealed her, right?"
"Legendary gods surely still have compassion for people..."
Sengoku expressed his expectation of the gods.
If humans cannot save themselves, then they can only rely on the divine.
Should the Goddess of Rabbit awaken, a god with the power to create the world can bring peace to the entire world.
Sengoku silently thought, perhaps he should gather information on Joyboy to see if he can propel a new generation of Freedom Fighters to Laugh Tale to unseal the Goddess of Rabbit...
However...
This indeed carries great risks...
What if the Goddess of Rabbit doesn't intend to save the world anymore, and instead accelerates its destruction for the perceived ingratitude of humanity?
Without knowing the situation of the Goddess of Rabbit, Sengoku can only consider this as a last resort, daring to take a gamble if humanity faces a real crisis!
Of course...
The Heavenly Celestial Dragons wouldn't dare take such a gamble...
The World Government has been erasing any traces of the Goddess of Rabbit's existence...
It's unfortunate...
With the true history left behind by the King of Alabasta eight hundred years ago now revealed, and the push from the Konoha Pirates, they can no longer erase the traces of the Goddess of Rabbit, this ocean is truly about to go berserk...
What can I do...
Even now, I am just a captive of the Konoha Pirates.
Sengoku's mind was somewhat confused, sighing to himself, wanting to continue cooperating with the other side through this mistake: "If you need me to call the Five Elders, I can cooperate with you, even using my status as Navy Admiral to assist you in assassinating the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, but you must agree to three conditions, otherwise I'd rather die here immediately!"
Calling it cooperation...
It's actually colluding or even joining the other side!
But Sengoku's dignity still mattered, he could accept his own disgrace but wanted to keep the dignity of the Navy Admiral untarnished.
"Speak."
Red Sand Sasori was very curious about the conditions Sengoku proposed.
Watching Red Sand Sasori, Sengoku continued in a deep voice, "First, if you want me to cooperate, you must find a solution to the crisis before the historical cataclysm breaks out, this is the most important condition for our cooperation!"
"Agreed."
Red Sand Sasori was indifferent to this matter.
"Second."
Sengoku, slightly understanding human nature, spoke solemnly: "You must support me and the Navy in maintaining world order at critical moments, to prevent humanity from completely perishing due to internal chaos before the cataclysm..."
"You are not entirely evil..."
When Sengoku mentioned this, his voice instantly became heavier, with a slight blockade in his heart: "Once the hidden history bursts out here, the people might plunge the entire ocean into darkness because of the impending cataclysm and the collapse of the long-maintained order. I may not be able to stop you, but order must be rebuilt to avoid people self-destructing before the cataclysm..."
"..."
Red Sand Sasori glanced surprisingly at Sengoku.
This Navy Admiral's mind wasn't so foolish? Indeed, the Great Buddha Fruit granted him strong and meticulous thinking?
Old Sengoku...
Actually understood human nature as well!
If the cataclysm really broke out, humanity might truly collapse, something Sengoku had even considered!
"We also agree to the second condition."
"Because we considered this before releasing the historical secrets."
Red Sand Sasori spread his palm, casually continued: "To prevent humanity from collapsing before annihilation, just let them see hope in survival, even a glimmer of hope, and they won't abandon themselves; at least Laugh Tale still holds hope, right?"
"..."
Sengoku sighed, guessing the thoughts of the Konoha Pirates: "Let the ocean see another Pirate King like Gol D. Roger reaching Laugh Tale?"
Indeed...
Perhaps the Pirate King...
Will be the hope of this ocean.
Only the Pirate King can reach Laugh Tale and have a chance to unseal the Goddess of Rabbit.
"Exactly..."
"The future Pirate King will become the hope of the people."
Red Sand Sasori stared into Sengoku's eyes, calmly continued: "No accident, as soon as all this history is revealed, should the Five Elders find it hard to seal the historical truths to keep the rule of the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, they would surely use the supreme authority of the World Government to claim that this is false history, authority seems to give them the power to interpret things as they wish, attempting to conceal their evil..."
"It's also a method..."
Sengoku frowned but shook his head, solemnly continuing to question: "But false is ultimately false, unless they create a truly convincing history, unfortunately, the World Government has lost its authority to interpret history due to modifications and erasures..."
"By comparison..."
"People might be more willing to believe in a new savior."
"Everyone in this world awaits the truth, awaiting hope from the ocean, believing that survival is possible before the cataclysm..."
When Sengoku reached this point, he suddenly brought up his final concern: "Third, I need to know the information on the Goddess of Rabbit!"
"The Konoha Pirates have always sought to overthrow the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, always searching for historical secrets detrimental to them, the existence of the Goddess of Rabbit is paramount..."
Sengoku's gaze fell on Red Sand Sasori, softly continuing, "You must have the information on the Goddess of Rabbit, right?"
It's Sengoku's primary concern!
For the Goddess of Rabbit, sealed at the end of the Grand Line, might be humanity's hope to avoid the cataclysm!
Sengoku needed to know more about the creator, lest his painstaking efforts to save her bring greater disaster...
"Agreed."
Red Sand Sasori nodded, softly continuing: "But do you want the true information, or the false one?"
