Was the Submersion of the World During the Void Century Imu-sama’s Will? Was the Old World Unnecessary?
In the Future Island Arc, it was revealed that the world had once sunk into the sea during the Void Century, and it was also made clear that this was due to the use of ancient weapons. Did the person who used the ancient weapons desire the submersion of the world? Let me share some thoughts on this topic!
Clash of Ideologies
Vegapunk mentions that the Great Kingdom, which had a highly advanced civilization during the Void Century, also held “a certain ideology,” but the nature of this ideology has not been made clear… It has also been revealed that the Void Century was a period of conflict—a clash of ideologies.
Vegapunk and Professor Clover have stated that the Great Kingdom, which was defeated in that battle, vanished along with its ideology, and that this ideology was very inconvenient for the victors, the original Twenty.
As I’ve mentioned before, I believe the Void Century was a time when the existing world order reached its limit and was poised for change, but ultimately, no transformation occurred…
Personally, I think the Great Kingdom’s ideology was likely something democratic, where the people, rather than kings and nobles, played the leading role. It’s plausible to speculate that after the Void Century, the World Government was formed, and while the world might have improved in terms of peace and order compared to before, fundamentally, nothing has changed… In fact, it seems that the Celestial Dragons, or “World Nobles,” now act as gods ruling the world, making the people even less happy than before.
This unhappiness includes being exploited by the heavenly tribute, but more importantly, it is about the people being treated as slaves. As long as the Celestial Dragons and nobles rule and the concept of slavery exists, there can be no happiness or peace for the people, right?
Moreover, the Celestial Dragons and nobles likely perceive themselves as the embodiment of justice, so the idea that the people are the main actors would be seen as an arrogant and evil ideology…
It’s something that absolutely cannot be allowed to spread and must be erased swiftly. Vegapunk has not taken sides in the clash of ideologies, nor has he provided a judgment on which is right or wrong, but I think that’s because he believes the people should learn the truth and come to their conclusions.
Judging from Vegapunk’s stance, I suspect that even during the Void Century, the Great Kingdom posed questions to the world’s people about how the world should be. However, in the end, the people might have answered that they did not want change…
Perhaps the people chose to accept being ruled and treated as slaves and opted to survive…
