Chapter 210 - 210
"The Army serves as the World Government's primary force against the Revolutionary Army and for suppressing non-allied nations, with combat capabilities matching Marine Headquarters."
Silence fell over the assembled pirates as Katakuri finished speaking.
They stared wide-eyed at the projections, minds reeling from the revelations.
"No wonder the Revolutionary Army hasn't been able to conquer those allied nations - they've been fighting the Army this whole time."
"Hiss... when you look at it this way, isn't the World Government's true strength alarmingly excessive? And what about the CP?"
Listening to the murmurs, Katakuri smiled.
"No one knows their true capabilities. But everyone's familiar with CP - even among those masked agents lurk many unknown powerhouses."
"You mean Rob Lucci?" a pirate captain asked curiously.
"Of course not." Katakuri shook his head. "Do you know why the Navy and Army don't simply execute powerful criminals, but instead imprison them?"o ask—it was the perfect setup for a stark comparison.
Katakuri smiled and replied, "As for pirates, just look around this very gathering, and the situation becomes clear."
"The pirate world does have no shortage of top-tier fighters, creating a semblance of balance against the World Government. But in terms of sheer numbers, we're outmatched by over tenfold."
"And most crucially, their forces can be replenished indefinitely, whereas we pirates have no reserve forces. The total number of pirates across the seas barely exceeds a million."
"Of that, over sixty percent are still in waters outside the New World, their strength far from adequate."
"As you can all see, the gap between us and the World Government or the Revolutionary Army is vast. And right now, we're not a unified force but hundreds—if not thousands—of scattered factions."
"Consider this: if we allow the Marines to pick us off one by one, our footholds in the New World will only dwindle further."
"Once they're confident enough, who's to say the World Government won't mobilize all three branches of their military to wipe us out in one sweeping strike?"
