Chapter 335 The Ultimate Goal: The Sea of Stars
Therefore, the World Government has enough Beli to not only maintain its normal operation, but also to allow the Celestial Dragons to continue to live a high and mighty life and enjoy the most luxurious lifestyle in the world.
Moreover, Pele also enabled the World Government to maintain the world's most powerful military force.
This powerful army is not only a guarantee for the World Government to maintain its ruling position, but also a powerful weapon to suppress pirates and lawbreakers.
In this way, the world government can consolidate its power and ensure that it cannot be overthrown by any force.
It can be described as an otherworldly version of "raising a bandit to enhance one's own prestige."
However, it wasn't the generals on the frontier, but the government itself; it was like the United States in its previous life, using war to divert internal conflicts.
In short, this is nothing more than a means of governance by the world government.
......
When Aini stood before the golden mountain on the Sky Island, even though he was mentally prepared, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
The saying "gold and silver mountains are there" has become tangible at this moment.
Really!
He had never seen so much gold in both his lives combined. Then his gaze fell on Enel's spaceship!
In One Piece, ships are of paramount importance to any faction.
Whether it's the navy or pirates.
For a pirate crew, besides the strength of the captain and crew, the most important thing is to have a pirate ship that can sail the seas.
Many ships of all sizes and shapes have appeared in One Piece. There are about 40 famous pirate ships among them. Some of these ships are well-equipped and imposing, but there are not many ships with their own unique characteristics.
Of these, only four are truly legendary.
The first ship: One of the three ancient weapons—Pluto
In One Piece, "Pluton" has two meanings: one refers to Rayleigh, the Pirate King's right-hand man, and the other refers to a ship that is an Ancient Weapon. Here, it obviously refers to the latter.
Hades was mentioned in the Alabasta arc, which was also the first time the Ancient Weapons came into people's view.
Hades, one of the three ancient weapons and the most ferocious warship in shipbuilding history, is a super warship built by Water 7. It can destroy an island with a single shot and now lies dormant somewhere in the world.
The blueprints for its manufacture were kept by Franky's master Tom, then passed to Iceberg, and later passed to Franky, who eventually burned them.
The World Government both loves and fears him, and once tried every means to find Pluton to end the Great Pirate Era.
It's no exaggeration to say that such a warship could become a legend.
Just imagine, one shot and an island is gone!
What kind of power is that?
In the original story, the Uranus that Im uses is a Uranus of equal renown. Looking at the power of the Uranus, one can infer the terror of Hades.
The second ship, the Pirate King's vessel—the Orleans Jackson.
As the sole king of the Great Pirate Era, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, surpassed even the "Emperor," and his noble status was admired by all pirates in the world.
As the saying goes, a fine horse is matched with a brave warrior, and the pirate ship of such a legendary figure was no ordinary vessel either.
Roger's ship, the Orleans Jackson, was built by Tom, the master craftsman of Franky, the world's greatest shipwright, using Adam Wood as its material. Incidentally, Luffy's Thousand Sunny was also built using the same material.
The Orleans Jackson is the only ship to have completed a circumnavigation of the Grand Line, a true ship of dreams and legend.
A ship with self-awareness—the Going Merry
The Going Merry was Luffy's first true pirate ship, a gift from Usopp's friend Kaya. It was an important member of the Straw Hat crew, accompanying Luffy and his friends on a long journey.
When they were in Water 7, the ship's keel was so badly damaged that it could not be repaired, forcing the Straw Hat crew to abandon the Going Merry. This decision was strongly opposed by Usopp, which caused Usopp to turn against Luffy and the others.
When Luffy and his crew were trapped on Enies Lobby, the ship spirit, the embodiment of the Going Merry, arrived in the wrecked Going Merry and rescued them. However, because his time was running out, after the ship spirit bid farewell to the Straw Hat crew, Luffy and his crew chose to send off their old friend by cremation.
Facing the Going Merry engulfed in flames, not only were the Straw Hat crew members moved to tears, but fans watching on screen were also sobbing uncontrollably. This can be considered one of the most touching scenes in One Piece.
Such a self-aware ship, and a special partner of the Straw Hat Pirates, are absolutely a legend in the hearts of all One Piece fans.
However, in Aini's opinion...
The fourth ship was the one standing before Aini—the Ark of Proverbs.
Normally, ships sail on the vast sea, braving the wind and waves.
In the fantastical world of One Piece, there are not only ships that can soar through the sky, such as Shiki's vessel, but also ships that can dive underwater, such as Law's submarine.
However, there are only a handful of ships capable of taking humans off Earth.
For this reason alone, the Ark Maxim has undoubtedly become the most legendary ship in the world of One Piece.
Other ships, whether warships serving in the navy or ordinary ships traveling on the ocean, are still confined to the normal scope and can only travel on or in the sea.
The Ark Maxim, however, is completely different. It can take off and even travel through space to reach the moon.
This means it's not just an ordinary ship, but a true spaceship. With it, one can embark on interstellar travel and experience a journey full of unknowns and adventures.
Therefore, compared to the Ark's Proverbs, all other ships seem insignificant.
Even Hades, with his immense power, paled in comparison to it.
After all, while Pluto is powerful, it is still just a ship sailing on Earth, unable to break free from Earth's constraints and explore the wider universe like the Ark Proverb.
And this is the ship that Aini has always dreamed of!
He harbored an imperial dream, but his ambition extended beyond the world of pirates. The vast universe, the endless depths of space, was his ultimate goal.
At this moment, he had a grand goal—to become the king of the universe!
However, achieving this goal is not something that can be done overnight; it requires climbing step by step.
First, one must become the undisputed strongest in the world of pirates.
Next, his goal is to ascend the Empty Throne and seize power in the World Government; he wants to conquer all the pirate crews and forces; he wants them to follow him willingly and together build an empire of his own.
Once he unifies the world, he will possess endless power and wealth, but this will not be his end.
eternal life.
This is an unavoidable topic, and in the world of One Piece, it is a very likely pursuit.
And there's more than one way!
