Crossover in the Anime World

Ace is now the most popular choice. Everyone is willing to invest in Ace because he is not only capable, but also upright and Roger's son.

"Ace, Ace, Ace——!" Ace saved Yamato and was favored by Kaido. The pirates on the sea cheered.

Luffy was also among the pirates. Hearing everyone cheering Ace's name, it seemed that the eldest brother could become the Pirate King at any time. His mood was indescribably complicated, and he felt like his toy was taken away by his good brothers.

Luffy's teammates heard everyone's cheers and could understand Luffy's complicated mood. Obviously, it is not so easy to become the Pirate King. Ace has received more support. Although Luffy has helped many people along the way, Luffy is not so popular.

Ace will not take advantage of others' misfortunes. Although Yamato is indeed beautiful and his own voice is indeed high, he will not be overwhelmed by enthusiasm. He will not really ascend the throne in a hot-headed manner, so he said: "Let's have a meeting first."

Enter Wano Country for a meeting first.

Duran sank to the bottom of the sea and did not appear again. We can't just wait and assume that Duran is finished, so let's get down to business first.

This is Kaido's territory, a country of samurai.

"Ace, you will definitely like it here. Let me treat you with the fine wine of Wano Country. The life of the residents of Wano Country is determined from birth. The children of the big clan are the big clan, and the children of the small clan are the small clan, and it will never change. You are the child of the Pirate King, so you should be the Pirate King, and then you married my daughter, so I am the father of the Pirate King." Kaido said that others want to be the Pirate King, but he can be the father of the Pirate King.

"Father, please watch your words." Yamato couldn't listen anymore and said, "You are wrong. There are men like Oden in this country. Although he is the son of the general, he wants to travel to the sea and see the vast world. Instead, it was Orochi who usurped the position of the general by despicable means, and you, father, are the accomplice of Orochi."

Yamato couldn't help telling the story of Oden.

Whitebeard sighed and said, "Oden is indeed a man worthy of respect. Even the Pirate King Roger condescended to borrow people from me."

Kaido was embarrassed. His daughter was ruining his reputation.

At this time, Big Mom said, "Speaking of Oden, I heard another story in Wano Country. The man was called Hyuga Neji. He was born in a small clan and had great talent, but was destined to be a vassal of the big clan. But he refused to accept it, so he rebelled and died in the end."

How did Big Mom know Hyuga Neji? She is definitely not a time traveler. Duran is telling the story of another world through Big Mom again.

Hyuga Neji wanted to rebel against the fate of the small clan and was killed in the end. And Oden wanted to escape the responsibility of the big clan and died in the end.

One is not strong enough, and the other is having power but not using it.

"Oden is too stupid, or Hyuga is more pitiful." Big Mom said.

Nami and Chopper couldn't help crying, they were moved by Oden's story. A man had power but didn't use it, and finally left the people of Wano Country to the evil Orochi. It was really touching.

As for Ningci's story, Ningci wanted to resist fate, but was finally killed by fate. It was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

Ningci wanted to fight against the big clan with a small clan, but it was too difficult to succeed. The Central Plains had experienced the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han Dynasties, and finally Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally introduced the Enfeoffment Order and the Recommendation System. With the Confucianism of heaven and man, the small clan finally had its own opportunity.

It took a full eight hundred years from the establishment of the eldest son inheritance system by the Zhou emperor, to development, peak, improvement, decline, accompanied by countless wars and deaths, and finally a way out was found.

It is easy to resist, but if you want to win, you need institutions and culture. Because the power of one person is limited, and the system and culture drive many people to resist together, and only by resisting endlessly can you win in the end.

It makes sense for the minor clan to rebel against the major clan. After all, no one can handle a major clan like Oden. As a major clan, Oden wanted to go to sea, completely ignoring the lives of the people and the responsibilities of the major clan.

When the position of the general was snatched away, he came back to fulfill his responsibilities. As a result, he had the power but didn't use it, preferring to dance. In short, with a major clan like Oden, it is completely reasonable for the minor clan to rebel.

"I have an idea." Aunt said.

"What?"

"Why not use Wano Country as an experiment." Aunt said: "This country has a monarch, a major clan, a minor clan, and the people. It happens that there are four of the Four Emperors. Each of us chooses to join one side, and then uses Wano Country as a chessboard to see who can laugh last. Whoever wins in the end will become the head of the Four Emperors and can rule the Four Emperors."

"..." Everyone said what kind of game is this?

This is a social experiment.

Why was there an 'axial age' in ancient times, and why did human thought explode at that time? Because human productivity improved in that era, there were many people who were not working, and for the first time there was a clear class.

With the existence of classes, each class wants society to be favorable to itself, so it needs to come up with a set of ideas that are beneficial to itself. This is true for monarchs, nobles, countrymen, savages, monarchs, nobles, citizens, and freemen.

Confucianism represents the nobles, Mohism represents the countrymen, and Legalism represents the monarch. The reason why Legalism stands out is that it enriches the country and strengthens the army, that is, the monarch suppresses the nobles and countrymen, and the monarch leads everyone to grab benefits, while satisfying the monarch, nobles, and countrymen. This is something that Confucianism and Mohism cannot solve.

The nobles represented by Confucianism only control distribution and do not consider production. Confucius said that he is not as good as an old farmer in farming, and he is not as good as a gardener in gardening. Anyway, he is not good at production and does not bother to talk about it.

The Mohists control production but are not responsible for distribution. They have no bargaining power, so they are at a disadvantage and can only hope that ghosts and gods will supervise the nobles. This is unrealistic.

The result is that Confucianism and Mohism are in a crazy confrontation, and the nobles and the people cannot form the same direction.

At this time, the monarch stood up and said: Don't fight anymore, I will take you to expand. The Legalists help the monarch suppress the nobles and the people and expand together. If the expansion is victorious, the monarch, the nobles, and the people will all benefit, and everyone will be happy.

The advantage of the Legalists is that Confucianism and Mohism do not have it, using expansion to unite everyone. The disadvantage of the Legalists is that once there is no expansion, the contradictions between the monarch, the nobles, and the people will inevitably erupt.

The powerful place of Shang Yang is to let the monarch and the people cooperate through military merits to suppress the nobles for a long time, so that the reform can run for a long time. In other countries, there are no military merits, and the nobles are easy to grow. Once the monarch dies, the people die and the politics end.

Of course, Confucianism is not just Confucius' Confucianism. Confucianism is divided into eight parts, which means that many branches have emerged after Confucianism. Later, Mencius tried to integrate the nobles and the people, and Xunzi already had the ideas of the Legalists. Although they are all Confucians, they are different classes.

Looking at the world, every major change in thought is accompanied by the birth of a new class. Because new classes need new ideas.

Confucius Confucianism is aristocrats, Mohists are people, Legalists are monarchs, Dong Zhongshu is monarchs and clans, Zhu Xi is monarchs and literati, and finally the exploited class.

There are also classes in the country of Hezhi, monarchs, nobles, and people. However, Duran divided the nobles into major clans and minor clans. As time goes by, the number of minor clans is increasing.

Monarchs, major clans, minor clans, and common people can just match the four emperors, just like a chessboard, four flag bearers choose their own chess pieces to manage, and then see who is more powerful.

Duran said through Big Mom: "Can the Four Emperors unite everyone? Let's compete. If it turns out that we, the Four Emperors, can only be thugs, I am willing to submit to Ace. If it turns out that we are capable of managing the world, the struggle for hegemony will continue."

Obviously, other people do not have a deep understanding of class, do not understand Big Mom's proposal at all, and do not know how to divide society so clearly.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, to put forward ideas belonging to their own classes, and supporters of the same class will naturally gather. Because this kind of thought is definitely beneficial to their own class, everyone will support ideas that are beneficial to themselves.

The so-called imprisoned thought is actually that the ideas of one class have an advantage, and other ideas cannot be expressed. In fact, ideas have always been diverse, and even Mencius complained that the world's words are not Yang Jimo.

The Legalists unite everyone through the monarch and expand together. Otherwise, the nobles have their own reasons, and the people have their own reasons. They can argue until the end of time, and the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, and in the end it is a waste of time.

The big clan has Oden, and the small clan has Neji, and they can argue to no end, so how can they really unite to form a new class? This is a huge test.

In the Central Plains, this was achieved through the system of recommendation, the Enfeoffment Order, and the interaction between heaven and man. The big and small clans formed the aristocratic families. But later, the aristocratic families were divided into the rich and the poor, so the imperial examination and the principle of preserving heaven and eliminating human desires were achieved, and the rich and the poor formed the literati. But the emperor and the literati ruled the world together, not with the people, so the literati and the people began to fight again. When the literati and the people merged, there would also be a big change in thought, which was also a process of a hundred years.
