Hitler ?!"
Harald heard the name, and following Rocks' gaze, he also locked onto Hitler , who was enjoying his meal.
As one of the most notorious members of the entire Rocks Pirate Crew, Harald's apprehension towards Hitler far exceeded that for Rocks himself.
After all, Hitler 's ability was simply too dangerous; any man with a wife, girlfriend, or daughter would not dare to underestimate or ignore his existence.
"Me?!"
Hitler , who was enjoying his meal, was stunned. He hadn't expected Rocks and Harald's casual chat to suddenly involve him.
"You want me to persuade Harald? Harald and I aren't close, so how am I supposed to persuade him?"
Hitler had no desire to join the conversation.
Harald had already shaved his head as a declaration of his resolve; unless his head was chopped off, it would be impossible to sway his will.
Oh, the Kotoamatsukami from the Naruto world might work, but that's another matter.
"You damn brat!!"
Rocks cursed, but he didn't give up.
"Let me rephrase the question! If you were Harald, what would be the most correct thing for you to do right now?!"
Pfft!
Hitler bit into a super-large grape over 1.5 meters in diameter, completely ignoring Rocks.
Rocks, annoyed, was about to stand up and draw his sword, ready to vent all the frustration he felt from Harald onto Hitler .
Just then, Harald raised a hand to stop Rocks.
"Don't do it, Rocks, this is Ida's bar! If you destroy this place, I won't welcome you anymore!"
Rocks huffed unhappily, then sat back down and picked up a wooden tankard to drink his frustrations away.
After appeasing Rocks, Harald looked at Hitler again.
"Hitler , right? Your youth is beyond my imagination, but since Rocks is asking for your opinion, you must have your own unique insights. Would you be willing to honor me by sharing your insights?"
Hitler swallowed the entire grape and looked at Harald.
"Your attitude, indeed, resembles that of a wise king."
"Very well, since you've asked so sincerely, then I shall generously answer you!"
Hitler paused briefly, organizing his thoughts.
"If I were you right now, first and foremost, I would not actively seek to join the World Government!"
"Things given for free are worthless!"
"I won't give specific examples; as a king of a nation, you surely understand the meaning of this statement."
"Secondly, I also wouldn't join the Rocks Pirate Crew!"
"The reason is what you're thinking right now: joining the Rocks Pirate Crew would completely sever the possibility of Elbaf joining the World Government, so it cannot be done!"
"Then, thirdly, militarily conquer those nations that have previously helped Elbaf!"
"Not to go to those countries and kill people, but to declare to the entire world that these nations are now Elbaf's territory! Whoever dares to invade them is declaring war on Elbaf!"
"Fourthly! Attack any entity that dares to attack a protected nation of Elbaf! Including World Government ships and the Marine!"
"As long as they dare to attack a nation protected by Elbaf, kill them all! Leave no one behind! Then chop off their heads, pickle them, and send them back to the World Government or the Marine!"
"Fifthly! Crush the World Government's Buster Call head-on!"
"Tell the entire world, with facts, that the Buster Call is useless in front of Elbaf!"
"Finally! The World Government itself will send people to request Elbaf to join the World Government."
"At that time, as you said, the Giant Race warriors who want to help others can honorably join the Marine and carry out the justice they believe in."
"Last but not least, always be prepared for war! Ensure that Elbaf's military strength can suppress the World Government's ambition to destroy Elbaf."
"As long as you do all of the above, joining the World Government and helping those kind citizens will be a matter of a single word from you."
After these words were spoken, the entire Ida's bar fell into a long silence.
Harald and Ida looked stunned, everyone in the Rocks Pirate Crew stopped eating, and even Rocks himself stared at Hitler with a look of utter surprise.
"Hitler , you little..."
"That's my suggestion; whether King Harald listens or not is his own decision."
Hitler ignored their reactions, turned around, grabbed a steak several meters in size, and took a bite.
Whoosh!
Rocks suddenly flashed from the bar counter and leaped onto the table where Hitler was sitting cross-legged.
He reached out and grabbed Hitler 's shoulder, forcibly turning him around.
"Brat! I didn't expect you to have such wisdom!"
"Since you've already given Harald advice, I assume you've also thought about my plan to conquer the world for a long time!"
"Tell me! What's your advice for me?!"
Hitler gulped, swallowing the beef in his mouth.
He looked at Rocks' intense gaze, originally wanting to say, 'Why should I tell you?'
But after thinking about the past two years, Rocks had indeed taught him many things, even if it often seemed perfunctory, he had indeed learned a lot.
So, he put down the steak he had just picked up and asked Rocks in return, "You really want to know?"
"Whether I execute it or not is my business! But right now, I want to hear your opinion!"
Hitler paused briefly, also organizing his thoughts.
Because of his previous pause when answering Harald, Rocks was patient enough to wait.
A moment later, Hitler spoke.
"For you, it's actually very simple."
"Establish a sufficiently vast nation, rule a sufficiently large population, and then build an army that is loyal to you and strong enough!"
"Go head-to-head, break through the Marine's defenses from the front, storm Mary Geoise, kill all the Celestial Dragons living there, and you will naturally become the King of the World."
After speaking, Hitler closed his mouth, waiting for Rocks' reaction.
The latter was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing.
"Wahahaha! You're still just a kid after all! Your ideas are too naive!"
"Are you saying that I don't know the secret of the flowers in Holy Land Mary Geoise, and the plan I provided has no feasibility?"
Hitler suddenly interjected a sentence amidst Rocks' laughter, and the latter's laughter abruptly stopped.
Rocks stared intently at Hitler , "How do you know?!"
Hitler smiled calmly.
"A secret is only a secret when only one person knows it; when a second person knows it, it's no longer a secret!"
Rocks remained silent, still staring intently at Hitler .
Hitler was not flustered at all, and continued to answer calmly: "On the foundation of establishing national rule, secretly search for a way to break that secret. With both lines progressing simultaneously, you can naturally achieve your goal of ruling the world."
"These two are indispensable!"
"If you don't believe it, we can make an assumption."
"Suppose you accomplished your goal according to your original plan and became the King of the World. Very well then, as the King of the World, you issue an order. Who will ultimately execute it?"
"You wouldn't think that after you eliminate the Celestial Dragons, the current World Government officials and the Marine would voluntarily pledge allegiance to you, would you?"
"Even if they did pledge allegiance to you, would you absolutely trust them?!"
"If you don't need others to serve you, and you don't need others to execute your orders, then does it make a difference whether you become the King of the World or not?"
Hitler 's face showed a sneer.
"A King of the World whose words aren't heard beyond a single island is a bird's King of the World!!"
