The Negotiation of Equality

The next day, in the big conference room of the centre.

Under the new calendar, the first Levely was held here.

Attending this meeting were senior officers of the Marine Corps, senior cadres of the Revolutionary Army, the nine major races of the world, and more than two hundred kings from the major seas!

It is the first time in recorded history that the entire world's power has come together in an event!

Everyone was enthusiastically surveying the surroundings, this grand meeting, giving them the feeling of witnessing history!

"Is this the power of the world? It's so mind-blowing!"

"And only a Great Leader can bring us, who are each unconnected, together!"

"Never have I looked forward to the future as much as I do today!"

"Next, just wait for the people of the Revolutionary Army to join the government!"

The crowd in the large conference room whispered, from time to time casting curious eyes toward where the Revolutionary Army was located.

Dragon remained motionless, and with his mind, he was naturally not affected by these people's stares.

The question he was thinking about was what bottom line he should maintain in these peace talks.

He is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. Otherwise, he would not have said at that time that he could give the position of the head of the revolutionary army to Longinus.

As long as the government formed by Longinus could meet the expectations in his heart, he did not mind transferring the power of the revolutionary army to the other side, and peacefully completing the world's unification was also what he expected to see.

The key question was, just how big would their differences be?

"Ahem, please be quiet, everyone." In such a noisy meeting room, Longinus increased the volume. They said, "Next, it is about the constitution of the formation of the United Government and the reorganization of the revolutionary army, and for the details, please read the outline in your respective drawers carefully. If you have any different opinions, you can directly raise them in the meeting."

Listening to Longinus' words, all of them couldn't wait to open the drawer and take out a thin pamphlet from it.

It was only an outline, so it was not too thick, and the amount of information was not difficult to digest in the meeting.

First, a "rustling" sound of turning the book, soon, a king could not hold back and asked, "Leader, I have a question, this ... is not a little too much restriction on the king's power? "

Seeing someone's head, a few more kings followed and said:

"Yes! Does the royal family not even have the power to dispose of the commoners at will anymore?"

"This, this is a bit too harsh, isn't it? The royal family hardly has any real power anymore!"

At this time, Dragon also said with a cold face, "I also have a problem with that. All people should be born equal, such as the royal power of the old era, should be swept into the dust of history!"

Betty followed suit and said, "Not allowing them to go to the gallows is already the biggest concession, if you ask me, even the royal property can be divided by a thousandth to them!"

"The gallows? That's barbaric! Too barbaric!"

"A thousandth? Then you might as well kill me!"

A group of kings all screamed in shock; they had thought that the government's conditions were harsh enough. Still, to their surprise, the revolutionary army's proposition, on the other hand, was almost brutal.

In this comparison, they even thought the government's conditions were already mild!

"Fine! Then I'll kill you!" Betty said in a cold voice, "A vermin like you who lies on the people and sucks their blood, hanging is considered cheap, you should be thrown directly into the fire pit!"

Seeing that the revolutionary army was showing signs of direct action, the kings remembered that they were in front of a "mob" that had overthrown dozens of kingdoms and hanged many kings!

"Guards, guards, come and save me!"

"Help! Leader-sama help!"

Seeing that the venue suddenly became chaotic, Longinus coughed lightly, "Quiet!"

The voice seemed to have an invisible magic power so that the confrontation between the two sides are instinctively quiet.

And that group of people who call themselves strong are looking at Longinus with horrified eyes, be able to apply Haoshoku Haki such a powerful ability to the point of lifting the weight; it is difficult to imagine, his aura at the end powerful to what extent!

Betty and others are also seeping beads of sweat on their heads; they instinctively chose to obey at the command of Longinus!

Longinus said without haste, "I understand, the revolutionary army's philosophy is to build a harmonious, free, equal, full of dreams of a better world, in these aspects, I hold the same attitude as you in principle!"

"Leader-sama, how do you ..."

"Wait, I think our attitude can be changed a bit!"

Seeing that Longinus' position seemed to show signs of tilting toward the revolutionary army, a group of kings all shouted in panic.

Longinus did not pay attention to them but said to himself, "However, in the understanding of this aspect of equality, we are perhaps heading in two directions."

"Two directions?" Dragon asked in a deep voice.

Longinus nodded slightly, "If you are pursuing absolute fairness, then, my understanding is relative fairness!"

"Absolute fairness? Relative fairness?"

"If the degree of effort is different, but the final harvest is the same, then this itself is a kind of unfairness. There are people who come to this world who can enjoy good material conditions, but this is also the result of the efforts of their forefathers. If we force the world to be defined by equality, it will only kill people's motivation and turn the world into a pool of stagnant water without vitality!"

Hearing Longinus say this, a group of kings were all eyebrows flying, just like clapping hands and laughing.

Dragon looked straight into Longinus' eyes, "So what you're saying is that existence is reasonable? That it should have never changed the inequalities of this world in the first place?"

"Of course not." Longinus gently shook his head, "In my opinion, equality should be more of a personality equality, no one, should have the power to directly deprive a life of citizen! And that is exactly why I would put restrictions on the power of the king!"

"Only ***********, justice and equality will not be just an empty word, and the existence of mistakes like the Celestial Dragons can be cut off from the root and source!"

Dragon frowned, seems to be thinking about the meaning of Longinus's words.

On the other hand, the group of kings looked at each other, but this time no one came forward to speak.

Seeing this, Longinus concluded, "Let all people get what they deserve, that's fair! Let all people enjoy human dignity, this is equality!"

Hearing Longinus' words, those other races were all in tears; they did not ask for good treatment; they just hoped not to be discriminated against so that they could not be caught and sold as pets.

Not only them, but many people are also secretly nodding; the best people occupy more resources and wealth, it is only natural, they get what they should have got.

The point of equality of personality also lets them be relieved. If they can kill with ease; it also means that people with higher power may arbitrarily deprive their lives.

And the most restrictive in this point is located at the apex of power of the leader ah!

Thinking of this, they all looked upward in adoration and awe.

PS: I was stuck again, well, actually, I made my death, originally intended to end with a big battle directly, but I think, this is just retracing the process of fighting with Akainu, no new ideas, after all, the strength is there, can not let Dragon directly burst, right? Then I want to end with the Levely; I feel that no one should have written this. However, the fantasy is rich; the reality is bone, I was stuck again. But it's okay, I have mastered the secret technique to become strong, only a few hair fall, it will solve all the problems, everyone sleep first.
