What was William standing on the bow of the boat thinking?

Psychologist Maslow divided human needs into five layers, namely: physiological needs, security needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.

With physiological needs, William now has no shortage of food and clothing, and he is not only capable of self-control. Otherwise, with his current status and power, as long as he waves in the East China Sea, countless opposite sexes will naturally come over.

Social needs, William has the earnest teachings of his teacher Kiyoshiro, and the support of Akin and Alamis, a group of partners who share the joys and sorrows.

Respect needs, William has played an important role in the East China Sea and has sufficient social status. A small town mayor like Dawell must be careful in front of him.

What William pursues and thinks about now is the need for security and the need for self-realization.

If William was disdainful of the pirates of the bandit at the beginning because of his inertial thinking in his previous life, then he still maintained this disdain and even worsened it was because he had already gained a certain understanding of the world.

The peak of this bandit nature is undoubtedly One Piece Roger, but what is his fate?

Judging from the phenomenon after the era of the Great Pirates, there may be another story behind Roger's arrest, or even intentionally caught by the world government, but after Roger's death, the people involved in him were implicated, which deserves William's warning.

William has always been paying attention to the news about sea trains. When he first heard such things from the newspaper, he knew that it was an epoch-making invention, and therefore he specially learned about Tom, a designer of sea trains.

Donghai Daily once made a series of news based on Tom, a fishman, introducing his life. It is said that the sales volume is not very good. Indigenous people of the East China Sea, such as Wallonia, Edmund, Alamis, etc., are not very interested in a fishman boatman far away in the Seven Waters Capital. At most, they are just a little interested because they are involved with One Piece, but after knowing that they are not a crew member, they are just a shipbuilder, so they are no longer interested.

But William is different. When he saw such a great designer, the ship craftsman was controlled by the world government because he had an involvement with One Piece and was excluded by the locals. Many people around the world were implicated because they had some connection with One Piece. How could a person like William have the idea of ​​learning One Piece and being a bandit?

It is impossible for him to accept that Akin, Alamis, Sherlock and even Tony are involved in it, and they are pinched and tossed by the world government at will, even after his death.

What's more, William had been a slave to the world's nobles, and he also killed a Tianlong man. Although the incident had been going on for so long and there were no witnesses, this was a hidden danger and a thorn that had been stuck in William's heart.

Moreover, as a modern person, emotionally, it is difficult for him to identify with a regime like the world government.

The existence of the dragon people is like maggots to people like William who have lived in modern society. They are bored even if they think about it, and they cannot stand the power of this kind of thing above their heads. This phenomenon is protected by law and violence.

So whether from the perspective of origin, emotion, or rationality, the existence of the world government itself is an obstacle to William, the source of his insecurity, which makes him involuntarily hostile.

William is even more a power fan, an ambitious man who is greedy and indifferent to the snake. His life value is to seize more power and influence, so naturally he will inevitably have the idea of ​​hope for the world government to replace it.

It can be said that since William traveled through time, there was not much choice. He either acted like a duckweed like a chaotic world, and died silently by the waves of the times. Or he faced difficulties and climbed towards the peak, and could not retreat, but could only keep going up until he reached the top, otherwise he would fall from a high place at any time.

William chose the latter, so he smuggled, corrupted grassroots navy, formulated the Morgan code, and protected local villages and towns. All these actions paved the way for his inner strategy, but this was not enough.

If we break out of the limitations of this world and look at the situation in the world from a general perspective, the navy and the world government are somewhat similar to the regimes in the late Yuan Dynasty in history. They are levied and bribed, but they have relatively powerful military power. However, they have pirates from all walks of life are like the endless rebellious armed forces under high-pressure policies, but they are a little useless. More than 80% of them are not as good as those of Liangshan heroes and do not even have political ambitions. Liangshan heroes at least have a sign of preaching the way for heaven.

From this perspective, One Piece Goldor Roger started the era of the Great Pirates, which really allowed the pirates to resist like a headless fly, to have a goal - although in William's view, they were still a mess.

But this also gave the world government and the navy the righteousness of uniting the people. The civilians tortured by the pirates who flocked to the age of the Great Pirates have regained some confidence in this brutal regime.

What William saw in Dawell was one of the ideas that were enough to serve as the political ambitions and goals of future forces, and to prevent his power from falling into the level of "bandits".

From the grassroots perspective, people who have political ambitions that can unite people's hearts and identify with and aim at this can mobilize subjective initiative more, endure hard training that ordinary people cannot bear, and become stronger people.

From the perspective of middle and high-level leaders, this is also a kind of ideological constraint and shackle. Humans are social animals. Only by constantly indoctrinating relevant concepts can those who already have strong strength be affected, consciously or unconsciously continue to obey discipline and command, and be reunited under the banner. At the same time, these strong people with the same ambitions are enough to intimidate people with dissent, such as the relationship between the navy and various powerful generals.

To truly impress people, you must not only have fists, but also have ideas.

Nationalism, nationalism..., William doesn't care about the line at all. What he cares about is whether he can help him reach the top of the pyramid of power and overthrow the burden that weighs on his heart.

At present, ending this era and pacifying troubled times seems to be a good slogan to unite people's hearts. Even if this is not all the goal of everyone, William will make it the goal of everyone, and he will become the person who can end all this!

...

The Morgan Pirates were moored in Black Reef Town for a week, and the residents of the town were always wary of them. Most of them did not believe William's statement and returned to the town to live, but hid on the hills outside the town.

But a few days later, they found that the pirates on the ship were indeed as promised by William, who never went ashore to harass and hurt these residents, and then people went home one after another to clean and organize the wreckage of the ground.

During this period, William invited the town mayor Darwell and several other top figures from the town to board the boat, discuss future matters, and make an agreement.

William will install two retired pirates who are disabled and cannot continue fighting at the Pier of Heijiao Town. These two people can not only sell goods to passenger ships for his winery, but also serve as liaison officers to report abnormal situations to William.

The Morgan Pirates will also regularly inspect the surrounding waters of Black Reef Town in the future and include the town in its own protection.

Correspondingly, the Morgan Pirates' ships will be parked in this town from time to time, and they must be provided with supplies on the shore. William promises to buy them at a fair price, and the town will also pay a "security tax" to his Pirates every month.

The amount of money is very small, far lower than the psychological expectations of town mayor Daville and others. What William values ​​is not the money itself, but the dominant meaning represented by tax collection, which will take root in the hearts of the residents of the town.

So when Dawell discussed with the people in the town that he would respect the Morgan Pirates for peace, William directly refused.

During this process, Dawell and other leading figures in the town were always careful and tried their best to meet the requirements of William and a group of pirates, for fear of angering them, so they broke up and ransacked the town like other pirates.

A week later, when they heard that William and others were leaving, they organized the town residents to see them off at the dock.

There were some pirates busy on the shore, moving things down from the boat, wrapped them in pirate flags and put them on the dock. Dawell looked at them strangely and asked, "Captain Stolt, this is..."

"Some supplies," William said calmly, "the town was just ransacked and needed these things."

Dawell and the leading figures in the town around him looked at each other after hearing it. After a while, Dawell held William's hand.

"You once said that you and your subordinates are different from other pirates. I really believe it now," the old man who had been showing a grudging and flattering voice said sincerely for the first time: "You will not become Goldo Roger, because you will be greater than him and become the real pride of the East China Sea people!"

Several figures from the town around echoed.

In fact, William paid very little. They occupied the ships of the Guy Pirates and obtained a lot of money. The supplies left on the shore all occupied a lot of space and were of low actual value. However, when they did all this, they were pirates. This contrast impressed Dawell and others more deeply and were more shocked.

In the crowd behind the town mayor Daville, Marie and Isa, the owner of the town's tavern, were also there. The mother and daughter were lucky enough to escape from Guy and remain safe until now.

When I saw William and Dawell finishing their words and about to leave, the little girl Isa grabbed a wild flower picked from the road and suddenly ran out of the crowd. Behind her, she was puzzled, shocked and worried, and came to William and handed the ordinary wild flower over.

"Thank you for saving us." Isa raised her little face, tried hard to tiptoe, and raised the flowers high.

Some townspeople were worried that even if they performed this week, in their deep-rooted impression, the pirates were still a group of evil thugs, and they were worried that Isha would anger William, the pirate leader.

The busy pirates on the shore gradually stopped their work and looked at this scene with complex eyes.

William looked down at Isa, feeling familiar. He glanced at the crowd opposite him again, and soon found that he was standing in front of the crowd, looking at his tavern owner Mary with a smile on his face.

William also smiled a little, and he recognized them, mother and daughter, who were residents he rescued in the wine cellar in the town.

"You're welcome," William bent down, took the flowers from Isa's hand, carefully put them on his chest, and said seriously: "Thank you for your flowers, too."

Isa smiled shyly, her eyes bent into a crescent.

William touched her head and turned toward her own ship. The pirates on the shore started working again. They only occasionally looked at the residents of the town, no longer with dissatisfaction due to being suppressed by William, but seemed much more friendly.
