"So, we will learn about the past?" Carina asked.
"It doesn't have to be now. We can do it slowly, or are you that impatient, Robin?" Shinra looked at Robin when he asked that question.
"No, let's do it slowly, at least, wait till I am giving birth first."
Frankly, Robin was satisfied since the gains that came from being together with her love were much better.
How many Poneglyphs had they discovered?
In just a few short moments together, they discovered two, and she had a feeling that they would discover several more soon. Regardless, she knew that it was impossible to find them all since 800 years had passed since the creation of those steles; even if the materials of those Poneglyphs were said to be indestructible, no one would think that they really were indestructible.
Yet, without a doubt, it was strong.
Regardless of the history of the past, Shinra was naturally attracted to the technology, which was quite interesting, especially the problem of the Devil Fruit.
Yes, while others thought that the Devil Fruit was naturally created, he felt that it was artificially created, especially by the people of the past, especially when it was possible to create the artificial type by using the Lineage Factor (DNA in this world).
He thought so, knowing well that he needed to live and evolve his first power, especially the core of his power, whether it was the Eye of Usurpation or the Eye of Beyond.
Yes, he had grown stronger, but even so, the reason why he could become stronger and dominate many universes was because of the abilities of his eyes.
If he lost the ability of his eyes now, it wouldn't really cause him any trouble, especially since he was strong enough to match the Four Emperors. It would be terrible if he couldn't return to the world of Kengan, especially when he had many women pregnant with his child.
Moreover, while he wasn't as obsessed with his revenge at this moment, similar to Robin, who couldn't calm down until she could understand what had happened to the Void History, he couldn't stay calm until he finished his revenge!
With that said, he couldn't calm down any longer and looked at Stussy, who seemed to be in deep thought, to which he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Can I ask what your plan is in the end?"
What was Shinra's goal?
In Stussy's eyes, Shinra was a man who was full of contradictions. He sought peace, yet he somehow continued to fight and endanger himself in many situations. While he was okay, the future prospects were simply limitless as she couldn't tell what he planned to do, but with just his career on the CP0 and the Marines, and also the fact that he had enough power to defeat Kaidou when he was still in his 17 showed that no one could match his status except for the World Noble!
No, even among the World Nobles, there was a hierarchy since no normal members of the World Nobles dared to get angry or ridicule the Five Elders or the one who stood behind the scenes.
The World Noble might appear like a god in this world, especially in front of those mortals, but facing the kings or nobles of other countries, kingdoms, which were part of the World Government, they still needed proper etiquette, and it was impossible for them to be unreasonable.
Still, when Shinra thought of this fact, he felt that the wrong one wasn't the World Government but the incompetence of the ruler.
It didn't matter whether the leader was a king, a queen, a president, an emperor, a prime minister, a dictator, or many other types, but if the ruler was capable, no matter the shape of their country or kingdom, all the people would leave peacefully, but on the other hand, if the leader was incompetent, then those who lived under them would be miserable and every day was like hell for them.
If it were before, Shinra wouldn't care much, even if the people below lived in misfortune, since even if he felt sorry for them, it didn't mean that he had the power to change everything. He wasn't a god, after all, and it was impossible to grant the wishes of people as long as they wished for it.
Well, even a god wouldn't just grant the people's wish, right?
Still, if the people had no hope, they would be lazy in their work and like a walking corpse or simply a zombie.
There was also an organization known as the Revolutionary Army in this world, but Shinra felt that this organization was nothing but rubbish since, after twenty years, it had caused the deaths of many people and had its members hurt, tormented, and had meaningless deaths.
If there was progress with the development of this organization, making the world better, then it was all fine, but Shinra felt that this organization was nothing but a thug group, as they could only fight, and it was impossible for them to manage the countries or kingdoms they had liberated.
Instead, Shinra felt that this organization just waited for the prophecy, waiting for the liberator of this world to come, which made him even more helpless.
So—
"Let's see... my goal is a peaceful life."
"...peaceful life?" Stussy was flabbergasted, then asked, "Is that it?"
"Do you think it is easy to have a peaceful life?"
Stussy wanted to nod, but when she thought deeply, it wasn't as easy as it seemed to be.
Could Kaidou, the Four Emperors, who was known as one of the strongest, live peacefully?
That wasn't the case, as he was defeated by Shinra, and after his defeat, many tried to get his territory.
Did the Five Elders live peacefully?
It might seem the case in the eyes of many as they stood high above, but when one thought about the problem of the sea, the incompetent followers, who couldn't stay obedient and might betray them any moment, while it was partly their fault that everything was like that, Stussy had to say that it was truly impossible to live a peaceful life.
No one knows what will happen in the future, and even if one could live peacefully now, could one live peacefully in the future?
Even the wealthiest would lose all their wealth by the third generation.
No one could guarantee that they could live peacefully, and even the gods, who were above in their own religions, also couldn't live peacefully, as the other religions might try to rob their worshippers, like how the Greek pantheon lost to the Roman pantheon, before the Roman pantheon lost to Christianity.
The essence of this world was survivability.
If one couldn't survive, then they would die.
Shinra wanted to survive, and because of that, he needed to continue to struggle, or else he would be erased.
"Still, if possible, I want to take the World Government for myself, become the leader of this world."
Like how the twenty kingdoms of the World Government could take down the Big Kingdom that controlled this world in the past, if the leaders of those twenty kingdoms could do that, then why couldn't Shinra?
What was the difference between him, the leaders of the twenty kingdoms, or the king of the Big Kingdom?
Was it only the descendants of the leaders of the twenty kingdoms or the king of the Big Kingdom who could become the king of this world?
In this world, Shinra might only be a commoner, yet was it impossible for a commoner to become the one who stood above many?
In many of his histories, many leaders of the world had a miserable past, such as Liu Bei, the Chinese Warlords, who sold straw sandals in his early life, or Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a famous Japanese ruler, who started as a peasant, and many others.
If they could do that, then why couldn't he?
Yet, as his will was exposed, the aura that came from his Supreme King Haki was released and became stronger.
Yes, it was overbearing and domineering, yet it also made them feel comfortable, knowing they were being taken care of.
