There was no way to retreat now. Lord Yim looked as if he was letting you go and training you, Claudius, to take my place. Although Claudius didn’t know Lord Yim’s plan before, he had been working hard for it.

Now, outside the door, there are so many like-minded people who have staked their lives on him, Claudius.

Even if Claudius felt very aggrieved at this time, could he quit? How could he quit? Should he say he quit, “I quit as the king of this world”?

That’s even more of a joke, okay?

Obviously, the result should be the same, with Claudius sitting on the throne, but after Lord Im said this, Claudius felt very stupid, as if he was inferior to the old monster in front of him in everything.

At this moment, Claudius suddenly had an idea and said, “No, you are lying!”

“Why should I, Yim, lie?” Lord Yim was not angry and spoke lightly.

But there was indeed arrogance in his tone, and given his status, there was really no need for him to speak.

“As far as I know, before me, there were people who wanted to overthrow you, but they all failed. Only you are still sitting here. Why is that?” Claudius asked in a deep voice.

Lord Yim smiled disdainfully and said, “Are they worthy?”

This was quite arrogant, but when he said it, it seemed as if it was natural.

Before Claudius could speak, Lord Yim said, “In the past eight hundred years, three people have wanted to overthrow me and sit on this empty throne like you. You are the fourth one, but before that, they were not worthy and could only be a kind of entertainment for me to pass the time.”

“Then why…I thought?” Claudius frowned slightly and asked.

“I have already told you the answer, haven’t I?” Lord Yim smiled and responded.

Claudius was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and said, “Because I’m handsome?”

At this moment, Lord Yim, who had always been calm, became a little stiff in expression. I have lived for eight hundred years, and it is rare to see someone as shameless as you.

After seeing Lord Im’s stiff expression, Claudius finally breathed a sigh of relief. Old man, I finally got the upper hand over you with my words.

Lord Yim ignored Claudius’s ‘bullshit’ and said, “Because you are very similar to me, that’s the first point.”

Lord Im saw his past shadow in Claudius, and discovered that Claudius was a member of Don Quixote’s family. These two points were very important factors.

Claudius frowned slightly, then asked, “The second point is, because of what you just said…times have changed?”

Claudius felt that this reason was high-sounding enough and in line with Lord Im’s style. Indeed, times had changed. The Five Elders could see that there was a big problem with the World Government’s ship, but they wanted to repair it but could not.

Although he hated Lord Im who always made him feel suffocated, this gentleman had been on the throne of the king of the world for eight hundred years, and was also the big boss behind the scenes who played a trick on Claudius. Claudius didn’t think that he had an IQ problem and couldn’t see through this appearance.

So times have changed, and it seems quite normal for Lord Yim to want to find someone to repair the ship and unload the cargo?

But just when Claudius felt it was very good, Lord Im suddenly shook his head and said, “Yes, a little, but that’s not important. Do you think I… can make the World Government withstand this storm?”

He asked this question very calmly, but Claudius couldn’t answer directly.

After a short silence, Claudius said, “Before I met you, I thought you wouldn’t be able to bear it. Before, I knew you were just a stubborn, arrogant, and ignorant dictator, but now…”

Now, Claudius felt that if Lord Im was willing to take action, he might have already wiped out the Celestial Dragon class. He could really repair the World Government’s ship. Although there was no reason or evidence to prove this idea, just like Lord Im’s intuition before, this was also Claudius’s intuition.

He instinctively felt that Lord Yim could do this!

Until this moment, Claudius was a little surprised, because this short conversation actually made him feel some respect and awe for this old guy?

But soon, he felt relieved again… If you have to say it, this old guy may have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice. It is normal for him to feel this way, isn’t it?

Lord Yim listened to Claudius’ words, smiled, and said: “You are right. The drawbacks of the World Government are, first, the Celestial Dragons, second, the use of force to suppress the exploitation of various countries, and third, corruption. As long as these three problems are solved, the World Government will still be the World Government even if the times change.”

Claudius nodded upon hearing this. He had to admit that this old guy was very insightful. Unlike the Five Elders, he had the ability to solve these three problems, but he just ignored them.

This was what Claudius couldn’t figure out, so he asked, “Well, since you’ve figured out the problem and should be able to solve it, why didn’t you do it? And why did you choose a somewhat stupid way to make me… do it?”

In Claudius’s opinion, there might be deeper thoughts and patterns involved. He now had to admit that he did have some gaps with this old monster in this regard.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. He has lived hundreds of years longer than himself. It is normal for him to see things more clearly and have deeper ideas. Putting aside the unbalanced thoughts when they met just now, Claudius is indeed willing to admit that Lord Im, whom he originally thought was a foolish and tyrannical dictator, is actually… perhaps a wise man?

As it turned out, Lord Yim did not give him any great reasoning. Instead, he smiled and said with a slightly tired expression: “Because… I’m tired.”

Claudius was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: “Is that the reason?”

“That’s right.” Lord Yim nodded and said with a smile.

“Isn’t that a bit too casual?” Claudius complained.

“It may seem casual to you, but in my opinion, I have been working hard for the World Government for eight hundred years. During these eight hundred years, I have done a lot of things and extinguished countless lights to maintain the rule of the World Government… If it weren’t for you, perhaps I would continue like this, but your appearance made me very satisfied, and I also saw some of the rest of the future, so I am tired. Isn’t it normal?” Lord Im said with a smile.

As he was talking, he added: “In this world, there are actually many heroes who are no less capable than you. One of them is quite interesting. I was originally planning to see how far he could go, but then I realized… this might be your arrangement. Because of this, I admire you even more.”

“Dragu?” Claudius frowned slightly and asked.

“It’s him.” Lord Yim nodded.

Claudius felt a little gloating in his heart. It turned out that he was not the only one who was embarrassed. Wasn’t Dragon the same? This made it much more balanced.

“What about pirates? Aren’t there any heroes among pirates that you like? The former Pirate King Roger?!” Claudius asked again.

Lord Im shook his head and said, “He may have some merits, but he is a pirate after all. There have been many people like him in the past eight hundred years. The truth I have concluded is that no matter how dark the order is, it is better than chaos. Therefore, no matter how terrible the World Government is, it is better than pirates. Claudius, for me, in this world, only pirates are not worthy of trust.”

Claudius thought about it after hearing this. He agreed with this statement very much. Look at the Great Pirate Era. Wasn’t it Roger who created it?

As a pirate, when there is no other means, he doesn’t mind using any means necessary… In order to achieve his goal, he would rather disrupt the world for eighteen years without peace. This is indeed the style of pirates and it does represent chaos.

In comparison, the world government is indeed better. Even though it is corrupt and decadent, it still maintains order.

At the same time, Claudius also understood why Lord Im regarded Luffy, Shirahoshi and the Nefertari clan as lights that were about to go out in the story of his previous life.

Because he has never trusted pirates like Luffy. As for Shirahoshi, if such ancient weapons fall into the hands of pirates, the harm caused will be no less than Roger opening the Great Pirate Era. The same is true for the Nefertari clan. Not to mention that they are somewhat involved with the Straw Hat Pirates, just because they have ancient weapons in their hands, Lord Im cannot let it go.

On the contrary, this guy Dorag didn’t seem to be among those whose lights were turned off. Maybe it was really Lord Im who was letting them go?

(I have also predicted some of the pirate stories in the previous books. This is just my personal speculation. If you have any ideas, you can also share them in the book reviews to see if there are any huge logical loopholes in my speculation. Although my account has been blocked and my secondary account can only reply to three comments a day, I will read every comment. As for the speculation about the ending, I won’t do it for the time being. There are still some stories to write. Don’t worry, big guys.)_
