From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 261 The Swing of Power and the Meeting of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters
brother?

This word was a little unfamiliar to Sakaski, but decades ago, it seemed that a few people had called themselves this.

He looked not far away.

The child, who seemed to have been hollowed out inside, was now being held in the arms of a revolutionary soldier woman and being comforted.

"Sorry, we're late."

"There's nothing we can do. Such tragedies happen countless times every day in the Taijila Wolf. We need to evacuate as soon as possible. Hurry up."

It seemed that this was an irrefutable fact, and the woman said nothing, but continued to comfort the child in her arms.

The child seemed to have lost all expression of emotion. He raised his head slightly, and looked at Sakaski with his pupils that seemed to have lost focus.

What kind of eyes are those?
Sakaski couldn't help but take a step back. His emotions seemed to be surging, and the scene around him also changed.

Nearly twelve years ago, those ordinary people on O'Hara's refugee ship who were able to survive because of Kuzan's weakness were now being burned by lava.

"Huhuhu..."

Sakaski's breathing was a little rapid, but the image of the child looking up still echoed in his mind.

Yes, at that time he had the power to save them, the power to stop the atrocities of those overseers...but he did nothing.

He was able to find many excuses: for example, the people on the Bridge Country, Taiqila Wolf, were all non-member countries and so-called criminals, and these people were not protected by the navy.

For example, the construction of the huge bridge was ordered by the Celestial Dragons on Marijoa, and as a navy, he had no reason to take action.

But what exactly is justice?
"Snapped."

The revolutionary soldier just now ran over again: "What are you standing there for? Can't we leave? Hurry up, we need to evacuate here. If you stay here, you will be used as a scapegoat!"

Sakaski was pushed out of the alley.

Under the piers of the huge bridge, figures holding balloons slowly landed on the deck below, including Sakaski.

"Don't panic, this is our new technology, which will get you to the ship safely."

The revolutionaries who were also slowly descending in balloons saw Sakaski looking down and thought he was a little scared.

"You're so big, you're twice my height, don't be such a timid brother."

brother?

It was this name again. Sakaski finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you call me brother?"

The man observed the movements above and replied casually: "We are both seeking a way to survive in this miserable world. Although we are not yet fellow travelers, you are also someone we want to protect. The title of brother comes from our positions."

accompany?
Sakaski did not speak again, but boarded the ship with the Revolutionary Army and left the waters of the Tekila Wolf together.

However, he originally thought that he could reach the revolutionary army's base, but that did not happen.

The ship sailed to an uninhabited island in the East China Sea, where some buildings were scattered around.

The revolutionary army then began to question everyone about their past, and all the rescued people, including Sakaski, were listening in the process.

Soon it was Sakaski's turn.

But he was so absorbed in listening that he did not move for a long time until the registrar came up to him.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. After all, those are painful memories."

"Every one of us here has been unable to survive for various reasons. But only by facing the pain can we have the possibility of turning it into courage."

Sakaski nodded blankly.

But after that person left, he looked at the hundreds of people surrounding him.

Throughout the day, the people were given food as well as temporary shelter and new clothing.

But the mood of sadness still spread here, and over a period of nearly a day, Sakaski heard the stories of each of their pasts.

What impressed him most was an old man who questioned the world.

He asked: Why did he lose his entire family just because of a letter left by his ancestors? The whole family was arrested and taken to Marijoa, his children died, and his grandson, who was still a baby, starved to death...

Such a world, such a world government, such a navy... why can it still be called justice?

Just because there is a letter D in the name left on the letter from my ancestors, do I no longer have the right to live?
I tried so hard to pay the gold from heaven, I tried so hard to pay the taxes to the nobles and the royal family, I tried so hard to survive...

Why do families still fall apart?
The old man with tears in his eyes roared angrily, questioning everything in this world, questioning the so-called righteous navy.

"If the justice of the navy... is the sin of losing one's life for a name... then this kind of justice... should be called evil!"

"We also pay for the navy's expenses... Why... Why is this happening?"

The emotionally agitated old man fainted, and the revolutionary army doctor rushed over and started treating the old man.

The sobbing of the people around was getting louder and louder, and some people even knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Sakaski saw a middle-aged man who seemed to have a mental breakdown and kept hitting his forehead on the ground.

If he had not been stopped by the revolutionary army, he would have died with his brain bursting.

So...what is true justice?
Until everyone's emotions gradually stabilized, the revolutionary army began to give everyone choices.

The first is to learn new ideas, truly understand the world, and work hard, strive, and risk your life to change this hellish world.

The second is to be taken to the nearest town by the revolutionary army, given some money, and start a new life.

The whole process is not simple. With Sakaski's knowledge, he can hear some new ideas contained in it.

For example: put yourself in other people’s shoes.

There are countless people in this world who share the same fate as them and are struggling to survive in hell.

And those who have been determined by their so-called fate can only resist this so-called fate by uniting and gathering all their strength together.

In the crowd, even Sakaski's blood boiled with excitement.

So... he chose to stay and put the Den Den Mushi into silent mode.

Yes. If you join the Revolutionary Army, you will know the nature of the Revolutionary Army and their base.

This is the reason Sakaski found for himself...it makes sense.

Three months passed and he still failed the assessment, but the questions in his mind kept surging like the tide.

Eventually he left Donghae and failed to join the revolutionary army.

……

In the past two years or so, due to the decline in combat power, Sakaski has not been as busy as before, which has given him plenty of time to see the world.

And after confronting two of the Four Emperors, he also traveled to the country of Alabasta.

This desert country, one of the member states of the World Government, had just uncovered the conspiracy of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, not long ago.

Walking in the market, Sakaski looked at the bustling streets in front of him and felt the breath of life around him.

For a moment, the old thoughts came to my mind again.

The fact that a country like Alabasta can exist in this world and that people can survive exists because of the justice he upheld in the past, isn't it?

This thought came very suddenly, just like when he kept asking himself questions during his two years of traveling, it came suddenly and without any warning.

"So the top brass of the Revolutionary Army are like this too? I thought they were good people."

"It makes sense to sacrifice subordinates in exchange for supreme power, but it's too shameless."

"If this is the case, is there any hope for this world?"

"It's good enough to be alive. Why think so much? At least we are living well by comparison. We can eat enough and not starve to death."

The conversation between two middle-aged men at the market made Sakaski stop.

"That's not the case!"

A childish voice rang out: "How can you, how can you say that?"

The two adults spread their hands, indicating that no one could resist the temptation of being a Celestial Dragon, and this was the most reasonable result.

But the little girl was obviously very angry and kicked the adult in the calf.

"If it weren't for uncle, this country... this country..."

Even though she was extremely angry, Weiwei still didn't say the rest of the words.

She was young, but as a former princess she understood that some things had to remain secret for now, including the changes that were taking place in the country.

His eyes were wet and he turned and ran away.

It's the only thing she can do.

And Sakaski was stunned.

Uncle? Man in cloak?

So is there also the shadow of the revolutionary army behind this country?

For a moment, two voices seemed to appear in his heart, arguing constantly.

……

At the entrance of the village outside the town, Weiwei was sitting alone on a sand dune, looking at the vegetation that was gradually forming an oasis around her.

These...are all the changes brought about by the uncle.

What right do those damn guys have to speak ill of me like that?
"The Sand-Sand Group can't let go of the crybaby vice-captain."

A voice sounded, and Kosa sat next to Weiwei: "What happened? If you are bullied, we have a lot of people."

Weiwei shook her head and wiped her eyes with her hand: "A person like that can definitely resolve any difficulties, and all I can do is believe in him."

In Sakaski's mind not far away, the new idea once again prevailed.

……

At this moment, a laugh suddenly rang out.

"Hahaha!"

"Crocodile is not a simple guy. Although Whitebeard didn't kill him at that time, he is definitely not a force that this country can contend with."

"I've always felt there was something wrong here, so I chose to come to this country as a backup plan."

A fat figure appeared behind the two little ghosts, looking straight at the little girl below.

"So kid, who is the uncle you just mentioned?"

Weiwei turned around trembling all over. The huge feeling of oppression made her feel fear involuntarily.

"who are you?"

Kosa was not attracted by such gazes, and immediately stood in front of Weiwei, while his hands were groping at his waist. "Buzz..."

A black force spread, binding Kosa and swallowing up the firework stick on his waist.

"You're a very clever kid. But if my guess is correct, and this gets out of hand, I might end up in big trouble."

Tiqi waved his hand and threw Kosa out, then faced Weiwei behind him and said, "Tell me, is the uncle you are talking about... the person the World Government has revealed?"

Weiwei shook her head violently: "I never said that! I don't know you!"

He mustered up the courage to escape, but the next moment he was picked up by a hand.

"Little boy, lying is useless. I heard everything you said at that time."

The fear rising in her heart made Weiwei's tears keep falling, but she still shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know! No, no, no! Let me go!"

"Hahaha!"

Tikki laughed as he tied up Vivi and threw her on his back: "So if I threaten you with your parents' lives, you will tell me everything you know, right?"

"Woooooooo..."

For a moment, Weiwei seemed to see the scene of her father being caught.

At that time, could I really not betray the uncle?

However, as soon as Teach took a step, his observation Haki stopped him.

"Pirate?"

"Alternate admiral... Akainu?"

[Note: Blackbeard Teach had no bounty before he showed up, and he was a very low-key person.]

Sakaski looked at the other person and said, "It really ruins my mood to encounter such a thing even when I'm on vacation."

Teach laughed: "I have been invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Navy has no right to attack me."

"Shichibukai?"

Smoky smoke rose from Sakaski's body, and the temperature of the lava began to rise around him. "I've never heard of a Shichibukai like you. Or do you think that any lackey can be a Shichibukai?"

For a moment, Teach was unable to provide any proof.

As for the candidate admiral in front of him, Akainu, he had heard of him before when he was in the Whitebeard Pirates.

He was able to fight BiGMOM and survive, and he even has the ability of the Natural Lava Fruit.

Although the Dark-Dark Fruit restrains the natural type, the man in front of him was once a man who almost became an admiral of the navy. The use of dual-color domineering and fruit abilities has reached the pinnacle level.

Moreover, if he took action at this time, the previously planned things might encounter twists and turns. If the Den Den Mushi in his arms died in the battle, he would have no other way to communicate with the Five Elders of Marijoa.

So, Tiqi put down Vivi in ​​his hand and slowly backed away.

Surprisingly, Sakaski did not stop him but let him leave.

It was not until the other party disappeared from his sight that Sakaski restrained his ability and untied the ropes that bound Vivi.

"Thank you, Navy uncle."

Uncle?

Sakaski frowned, thought for a moment and said nothing, but turned and left.

At this time, Kosa, who had been thrown out before, also woke up. The two looked at each other and followed him, ready to use Sakaski's power to return to Albana.

This will avoid the possibility of being targeted by that person again.

Sakaski ignored the two little ghosts and naturally chose Albana as his target.

He was very confused, wondering why he took action.

When did the change begin?
The major in the headquarters who asked him to travel around? The look in the eyes of the child in Taiqila Wolf? The roar of the old man in the revolutionary army base?

What he saw and heard in the past two years seemed to have really changed him.

But this feeling seemed to weaken a lot after the projection of the World Government was broadcast, and it was strengthened a lot after the girl appeared in the back.

……

The next day, the World Economic Times published a new list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Marshall Teach, a former member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Shortly after the newspaper was sent to the world, the Den Den Mushi carried by Teach started to ring.

"Click."

After the call was connected, Saint Satan's voice appeared: "Now your goal has been achieved, but you should also be aware of the consequences of deceiving the World Government."

"Hahahaha! Of course I'm not stupid."

But then, Teach did not say anything, but asked: "The Navy sent a large number of combat forces to the New World, but in the end, they confronted Kaido with great success but ended up leaving after three days. This time point happened to be after the bait plan mentioned by the Revolutionary Army."

"So can I assume that the World Government's purpose in sending out the navy is to cover up the Bait Plan?"

Saint Satan frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Teach said, "The first piece of information: There is an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army in the Navy."

……

Den Den Mushi was silent for a while.

"If this is your intelligence, then you will bear the wrath of the World Government."

"Thief hahaha! It seems that the World Government is not stupid. Then the second one: two days before the confrontation began, the cloaked man visited the Whitebeard Pirates."

In the Den Den Mushi, Satan's voice was a little low: "So you want to say that the Whitebeard Pirates are the forces of the Revolutionary Army?"

Teach replied: "No. A man like Whitebeard would not be anyone's subordinate, even the legendary pirate group, they were just cooperating."

"Third piece of information: The Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, is one of the hidden forces of the Revolutionary Army."

For a moment, Saint Satan connected the three pieces of information together.

Yes, given the ideology of the Cloaked Man and the Revolutionary Army, they will definitely not care about the life or death of the New Century Great Pirates.

After the navy leaked the information, the purpose of attracting attention would inevitably fail, which is why the Revolutionary Army is carrying out a large-scale evacuation in the bait plan.

The meeting with Whitebeard caused the two Four Emperors' pirate groups to unite, making the Navy afraid to risk too much loss in a war, which meant that the Cloaked Man cared about the survival of the Four Emperors Kaido's force.

After the three intelligences were connected, Saint Satan exhaled: "Then the deal you mentioned is over."

"Hahaha!"

Teach smiled and said, "It's not over yet. But I want to exchange the next piece of information for someone, someone who is imprisoned in Impel Down."

Between the powers, the Five Elders looked at each other.

"can."

"Alabasta, one of the member states, may have become one of the bases of the Revolutionary Army."

……

At the same time, three days had passed since the World Government projection broadcast.

The meeting room of the Revolutionary Army's Sky Island Headquarters.

"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against us!"

"Three hundred and fifty-nine people. The name of the Bait Plan says it all!"

"We all know this is a conspiracy, but can we just remain indifferent?"

"They want to cut us off!"

"If the Revolutionary Army fails to carry out any rescue operations, how will the whole world view the Revolutionary Army? How will they view you, sir?"

"But launching a rescue operation is tantamount to walking into a trap. In a month, all high-end combat forces will surely gather in Marinford."

"The most important thing is the Five Elders. Even with an attack like that, sir, they still couldn't kill him completely."

"It's not a month, it's only twenty-seven days. After twenty-seven days, the Five Elder Stars of Marinford will definitely exist."

……

The army commanders of the Four Seas and the Grand Line were silent for a while. Vegapunk raised his head and said, "Not only that, weapons that can limit sir's spatial ability will definitely appear over Marinford at that time."

Dragon nodded and said, "Whether it is the Navy or the CP organization, they do not regard it as the same. Coupled with the attribute of immortality, it is not impossible for Marinford to face such a devastating attack."

A devastating attack...

If that kind of attack was able to pierce through the sea in one blow, destroying the entire island and leaving behind an indelible underwater abyss, no one except the Five Elder Stars would be able to survive such an attack.

So...save? Or not?
It seems that this has become a dead end.

"Boom."

Kaido, the captain of the Revolutionary Army's New World Division 1, slammed his fist on the table: "The projection wants to cut off our roots among the people, and the execution members force us to rescue! Then fight!"

Ivankov blinked and said, "It's not that simple. If we fight and our entire army is wiped out, the world will fall into darkness again, Kaido boy."

Belo Betty said: "After that broadcast, the World Government's plan has become an unsolvable situation. Completely eliminated, or slowly dying?"

Lindbagh: "There was a lot of calls for war in the team. Everyone was outraged for the gentleman. They would not allow anyone to slander him like this."

Karas: "Before coming to the headquarters, I used my ability to go to Marijoa. There is a special power there that the crows made of coal cannot enter."

Jasmine: "Jasmine wanted to try it, but the gentleman stopped me."

At this time, Kevin reached out and pressed it.

"From the beginning, they got it wrong."

“Since the first issue of the New Times, they have lost the possibility of a future.”

"The revolutionary army represents the idea of ​​awakening and liberation, not a certain person or a certain group of people."

"People around the world have learned to think, isn't that a good thing? It proves that our efforts have not been in vain."

Kevin paused at this point and said, "Under the weapons of the Celestial Dragons, the rescue operation cannot be successful simply by having more troops. From now on, the Four Seas and the Grand Line will remain silent, and the New World Division 1 will also keep a low profile recently."

"Captains of all armies, maintain the morale of the troops and wait for the command from the headquarters. Don't worry... my abilities are more than just what I have shown."

"Calm yourself down. Now...the meeting is adjourned."

Kevin stood up and began to see off the army captains one by one.

But this time they did not return in an instant. It seemed that each army commander stayed for about a minute.
