From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 273: War Begins: The Tide of the World

Malinvando.

Under the shadow of dark clouds, on the defense wall, black iron boxes were attached to the stone wall, recording everything that happened in Marinford.

"Because we are human! So we have emotions!"

"And they claim to be gods, looking down on all life from above."

“But does God represent justice?”

"No, justice doesn't work like that."

Belobeti waved the red flag in his hand, and the power of the fruit of encouragement was sublimated at this moment.

"Sir said: Justice is the bottom line of morality, and morality is the embodiment of emotion!"

"All lives with wisdom and self-thought are equal. In this world, no one should be born a slave, and no one should be born a god!"

"And justice..."

For a moment, all the sailors on the defensive wall outside the bay looked at the woman waving the flag.

"It is justice to act in anger when pirates are looting a town!"

"The anger I felt when I was a kid because I saw the slave-catching team arresting slaves was justice!"

"The minions of the nobles are plundering the people's last wealth. It is justice to stand up!"

"It is justice to kill the Celestial Dragons who do whatever they want in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"It is justice to go to Marijoa alone and free all the slaves!"

……

Belo Beti's eyes swept over all the navy.

“Being human, we are able to empathize because of our emotions.”

"And empathy allows us to distinguish between good and evil..."

"Marines! Do you still remember...remember your aspirations when you first joined the navy?"

"Why did you become a marine? And why did you train yourself day after day and awaken your domineering aura?"

For a moment, the sailors hung their arms, lost in their own memories.

At this moment, the navy men who were still able to stay in Marinford were not ordinary soldiers, and the worst was a major in the headquarters.

They came from the four seas and various islands on the Grand Route, and had seen too much darkness after becoming navy.

The headquarters of the navy is adjacent to the Sabaody Archipelago. In the era when the cloaked man had not yet killed the terrifying group of world nobles, the Sabaody Archipelago was a combination of heaven and hell.

Going to the fairytale-like island, there are countless tragic fates inside. When the Celestial Dragons travel, it is like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, always taking away the lives of some so-called unlucky people.

And they...the navy, were indifferent, and could only remain indifferent.

But when you first wanted to become a marine, wasn't it for the justice behind you?
He showed pity in the face of the people begging him, but he could only carry out the orders from the world's nobles.

The legal plundering rights of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the auction house behind the slave-hunting team, and the Celestial Dragons behind the auction house...

Since when did their so-called justice become only justice against ordinary people?

Maybe from the very beginning... there is no justice in this world!

"Justice is the bottom line of morality..."

"Life should not be divided into noble and humble..."

"True justice..."

For a moment, many navy officers murmured to themselves.

In the center of the defensive wall, Vice Admiral Gumir came in front of Sengoku and Garp.

As a former veteran, he and the two of them belonged to the same era and had a good relationship with each other.

"What are you still hesitating about?"

Zhan Guo raised his head slightly, glanced at Gumir, and then looked at the navy around him.

"Wise General Zhan Guo!"

Vice Admiral Gumier roared: "Use your brain! After those guys attacked the refugee ship, the navy was abandoned by them!"

Zhan Guo: "I know."

Gumier stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "I know what you are still hesitating about? They are able to do such a thing, and the navy will definitely be liquidated after this!"

Cap, who had been silent on the side, spoke up at this time: "Leave the choice to the young people, Gumir. The future of this world belongs to them, and the choice is also up to them."

Vice Admiral Tsuru opened his eyes: "We are all old guys from the old times. To awaken our thoughts, to break the cage that imprisoned us in the past, to open our eyes and see the world clearly, to make new choices... should be their original wish, not the guidance of us old guys."

For a moment, Gumier was silent.

He let go of Zhan Guo, turned his head to look at the senior naval officers in front of him, and finally stopped at the three admirals.

"Borsalino, Kuzan, and Kevin, have you made a decision?"

Hearing this, Feng Clay's heartbeat slowed down.

Decision? Decision on what? I am a piece of trash who can't even be domineering. What can I decide?

Borsalino smiled and said, "I want to see the world you mentioned, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it."

"Really... it's been a long, long time... since I saw that smile at that time, in that square."

Kuzan looked into the distance and said, "Sir, you should not be the only one on the road of revolution. To overthrow the gods and completely change the world is my firm will."

As soon as he finished speaking, many lieutenant generals who had followed Gumil were stunned.

Dougman, who is a good friend of Sakaski and also insists on absolute justice, is confused at this time.

If he were the person in the past, he would have cursed the revolutionary army for being too soft-hearted and stupid.

But now... the revolutionary army saved Sakaski and many families and relatives of the navy, and even sacrificed many lives for this.

At the same time, Belo Betty stabbed the flag to the ground: "Everyone, do you want to become a minion of the Celestial Dragons, or become a navy that truly upholds justice... Follow your heart!"

Hearing the same words, General Huoshaoshan turned around and looked directly at the four people on the high platform in the bay.

"From today on, if we don't die, the navy will be reborn!"

Dogman snorted coldly: "Even pirates abide by the basic morality and ethics, but they are trampled by these guys who claim to be gods... Everyone, the transformation of justice begins today."

Vice Admiral Ghost Spider had a gloomy expression on his face: "No matter what, they shouldn't attack the families of the navy. We'll talk about the Revolutionary Army later, but now... it's time for us to take revenge."

……

At this time, Kevin, one of the three generals, received a call from the communicator in his arms.

However, Feng Clay, who had turned into Kevin, shook his body and took out the communicator with trembling hands.

"Click."

"Let's do it."

Feng Kelei said with a sad face: "What are you doing?"

Saint Vochuli paused: "Detonating the entire outer bay defense wall was yesterday... You are not Kevin!"

"Hee-hee-hee..."

Feng Clay's laughter was very sharp. He slapped his face and returned to his original appearance. "How was it? Was it a surprise? Was it exciting? I threw away the remote control a long time ago, and I cut the fuses of those high-intensity explosives, you idiot!"

The communicator was hung up immediately.

Saint Vouchuri on the platform frowned: "Kevin should have been discovered by Sengoku and the others. A user of the Mimic Fruit ability has turned into Kevin's appearance."

Mazisheng: "The final result is already determined. No matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain."

Peter Saint: "When they come in, the execution will begin."

Nasujuro Sei: "We can just wait for the cloaked man to appear and then we can implement the cleansing plan."

……

The four seas, the great routes, the doldrums.

Owls deliver today's newspapers, and there is only one paragraph in the newspapers.

[Turn on the video phone mushi and radio to watch the latest developments in Marinford in real time]

There was no report in this issue of the New Age, but the bold font made everyone quickly look for the video phone bug.

If there was really no other solution, they would turn on the radios that the revolutionary army had scattered around the place.

Donghailuoge Town.

There were knocks on the door of the naval branch, and the marine who opened the door was almost paralyzed by the scene in front of him.

The massive crowd actually surrounded the naval branch!

"You...what are you going to do? Attacking a naval branch...is a serious crime!"

Impatient voices arose from the crowd.

"Who wants to attack the Marine Branch?"

"Quick, quick, quick! Take out the video Den Den Mushi from earlier, Marines!"

"Marinford live broadcast, don't you want to watch it?"

"Hurry up! What if you miss it?"

The navy was stunned: "But we didn't receive any notice from above, so..."

"Hurry up! From what I just heard on the radio, it seems like your entire navy has mutinied. What are you still hesitating about? Don't you want to know where you stand?"

"Hurry up!"

"If you don't take it out, we'll rush in."

"You've already betrayed me, so why are you still insisting on doing that?"

"The huge war between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, and the Navy's betrayal of the World Government are all explosive news!"

betray?

The navy was stunned for a moment, then ran towards the branch.

……

This scene is also being played out all over the world. Originally, the world government’s propaganda war needed to be transmitted through naval branches located around the world.

Now, ever since Vegapunk created the Mother Fire, the signal has been amplified to the point where it ignores the influence of the magnetic field of ancient weapons, and it has also reached the entire world, with the various naval branches as turning points.

……

New World, on the Red Hair Pirates' ship.

A video Den Den Mushi was playing images of Marinford.

Beckman sighed: "The power of the Revolutionary Army has reached such a level... Even the Navy is willing to give up, just to crush the core idea of ​​the Revolutionary Army."

Jesus Bu, who was standing by, also looked solemn: "The outcome of this war may affect the entire world."

"That's for sure..."

Shanks frowned. "All along, the World Government has only really cared about the impact of ideas. After the Revolutionary Army's New Era spread it around the world, they realized it later, but now..."

The power of God's name and the authority formed by thoughts have emerged.

No matter how stupid the people on Mary Geoise were, they must have been alert by now, or had already started taking action.

The person who holds that power gathers all the aspirational and thoughtful lives in this world, and at present it seems most likely to be in the Revolutionary Army.

Or... that gentleman. And the ancient weapon looming over Marinford's head will surely wait for the opportunity to solve all problems with one strike.

Thinking of this, Shanks rubbed his forehead.

What a dead end...

The lives of 359 Revolutionary Army members were used as hooks, and the promise of that gentleman becoming the new Celestial Dragon was used as bait to set up this trap.

Even the attack on the refugee ship carrying the families of navy officers was probably a decision made based on distrust of the navy's top brass.

Now the entire navy has rebelled because of this, and this may not be without intentional factors.

Since it is impossible to find the traitor among them, then we will eliminate them together with the traitor and the navy who are not loyal to begin with.

In the eyes of that group of people, life is like an ant. After killing a batch, new ones will appear soon. The cycle repeats over and over again, just like weeds in the field.

"Shanks."

"what."

“Will they succeed?”

"I don't know... With that gentleman's wisdom, he would not be unable to see the situation clearly."

"Are we going then?"

Beckman asked, and Jesus Bu, Lakilu and others looked over.

Even in a battlefield like the one in Marinford now, as long as the captain gives the order, they will not hesitate at all.

But Shanks shook his head.

"We must always leave some hope for this world... Everyone has their time to shine, and it's not our turn yet."

……

The Sea of ​​​​Ten Thousand Nations, Cake Island.

On the huge throne, BiGMOM, who had given birth to many children over the years and was already bloated, was staring at the projection in front of her.

“Well, well, well…”

The terrifying laughter stopped and BiGMOM's expression changed.

"They actually did something like this at a time like this. Are those guys on Marijoa all idiots?"

"The one who just stopped the attack of the bird on the dock was Newgate's son, right?"

Katakuri, who was at the bottom, replied, "Mom, it is indeed one of the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates: Diamond Joz."

“Well, well, well…”

BiGMOM laughed and said, "That guy's son is dead, and Newgate must be on the revolutionary ship. Is that old guy so old that he has dementia? Has he forgotten how the Valley of the Gods was erased?"

"Twenty-eight years ago, even the Rocks Pirates were defeated... and at that time they were caught by surprise, not like the Revolutionary Army is doing now."

"How could that bastard Kaido become so stupid?"

Katakuri asked in a deep voice: "Mom...from the perspective of this, shouldn't the Revolutionary Army have the advantage in terms of manpower?"

"The Five Elders of the World Government, that form should be a mythical beast, right? But even that guy Jin can hurt him..."

"Well, well... did you see that old guy was injured?"

BiGMOM interrupted him and said, "Don't underestimate Kaido's subordinates... No, now I should say that little brat Jin of the Revolutionary Army."

"I have been coveting the Lunalia tribe for a long time... But in this world, the legendary tribe of gods that lived on the red earth continent died out so cleanly in the past eight hundred years."

"Kaido was lucky enough to rescue the last Lunalia in this world from the research institute after being captured by the World Government."

A clan of gods?
Katakuri's eyes narrowed slightly...

BiGMOM's words seemed to indicate that even if the Revolutionary Army possessed such combat power, it would still have no chance of winning against the World Government.

However, that Flame Disaster Jinn seemed to be saying that his fighting power was very strong.

There is so much he doesn't understand here.

But if the Revolutionary Army is defeated, the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are liquidated, and the Navy is also purged, then only the Four Emperors will be left in the New World.

The World Government will not allow this...

"The so-called king's posture is not as simple as just releasing momentum to stun the minions. Conqueror's Haki is the entrance ticket to becoming a strong person in this world, Katakuri."

For the first time, BiGMOM seemed to be interested in explaining science to his son: "That kid from the Lunaria tribe has awakened Conqueror Haki, and he uses it quite well. Combined with his inherent racial talent, the destructive power of his attacks has even surpassed Kaido."

Having said that, BiGMOM paused.

"That bastard Kaido...why...why did his body become like this!?"

In a fit of emotion, BiGMOM punched down.

"boom!!"

The table in front of him broke apart and the entire ground began to shake.

……

At the same time, a new confrontation situation emerged in Marinford.

After the projection of the recording of the attack on the refugee ship ended, Zhan Guo straightened his hunched body.

"Everyone!"

The resounding voice made all the navy officers who were immersed in contradictions look over.

"Now it's time for you to make a choice."

"As the highest commander of the navy, I will not force you to follow my choice, because even now, I don't know whether my choice is right or wrong."

"But I hope that no matter what choice you make, if you are lucky enough to survive this war today... I hope you can remember the justice in your heart and carry it out to the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Guo turned around from the defensive wall outside the bay and faced the four people sitting on the high platform inside the bay.

"From today on, I will become a new navy, implement true justice, and abide by the just order!"

At the same time, Garp, Tsuru, Zephyr, Borsalino, and Kuzan all turned around and faced the Five Elders.

This scene caused a sensation around the world through live broadcast.

The navy...is no longer the navy of the World Government!

So starting from today, does it mean that the generals who protect the Celestial Dragons will no longer be dispatched?
……

At the foot of Whiskey Mountain, the pirates in the tavern cheered.

"What are the nobility of the world without the power of the navy?"

"The five old ghosts don't look that strong. We must dig out the secret of their immortality!"

"Climb up the Red Earth Continent and you will get the secret of eternal life!"

"Hahahaha...without the navy, we will have true freedom on this sea!"

"The World Government is a bunch of idiots. They actually attacked their own refugee ships. This is a big taboo..."

"You tried to frame the Revolutionary Army but failed, and instead pushed your own forces to the opposite side, you fools."

……

On the high platform in Malinford Bay, Saint Vochuli stood up and looked at the navy members on the same high platform.

"Sengoku, your decision will drag the entire navy into hell."

Mazsheng said expressionlessly: "Do you think we care about the navy's combat power? Or are you so arrogant that you have forgotten who your master is?"

Nasujuro Sei raised his head slightly: "In this world, no one is indispensable except us. Whether it's the navy or the pirates, they are just a way for us to control power."

"With the speed at which you bugs reproduce, it won't be long before new bugs grow up. We will be enslaved again and serve God once again."

"Zhan Guo, what do you think we are waiting for?"

Saint Peter also stood up, and the four Five Elders stood in a row.

"For eight hundred years, no one has been able to shake the position of the World Government. There have been many people who have tried to rebel against the gods with their mortal bodies, but in the end they were all executed."

As the words fell, the ice at the entrance to the bay broke.

The revolutionary army's ships seemed to have increased their power, and their sharp bows directly broke through the melted ice and approached the entrance.

However, the Five Elders did not stop them, nor did they order the agents to attack.

Only 80% of the navy on the defense wall outside the bay turned around, facing the World Government and turning their backs to the Revolutionary Army.

They have made their choice.

At this time, a strong wind blew, and the wind blade broke the ice in front of the Revolutionary Army’s ships.

Dorag stood on the bow, his eyes meeting those of the Five Elders.

"The teacher said: Wherever there is oppression, resistance will inevitably arise. As long as life has wisdom, as long as life still has a promising future, people will throw themselves into the revolution without hesitation."

“The seeds of thought have been planted. Even if they fail, there will surely be successors.”

"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

“We may be like fireflies, but as long as we can illuminate a corner of the road ahead and let the world see what the future should look like… that is victory!”

"The teacher said: Since ancient times, those who want to change the world have all sacrificed themselves. If there is a way to change the world today, it should start with us!"

Dragon's voice echoed throughout Marinford, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

They could hear the indomitable will in these words, and they could also hear the revolutionary army's courage to face death head-on.

Yeah... Why does this rotten world exist?

Why does this world exist that makes so many ordinary people feel that life is worse than death?

One by one, the sailors picked up the weapons they had just put down and held them tightly.

If I can light the way forward for the world with my broken body, then why should I fear death?
At this time, the revolutionary army's ships had already entered the bay.

On the high platform, Saint Mazi said, "Shall we begin?"

Saint Vochuli frowned: "He hasn't appeared yet. Even though the leader, Drago, has appeared, he still hasn't appeared."

Peter Saint: "The person who holds the authority of God's name is most likely him. If we don't kill him in this operation, we will still be in trouble in the future."

Nasujuro Sei: "Then let's start the war! The bugs gathered in Marinford now are meant to be sacrificed. Even if they are CP, they can be reorganized in the future."

Saint Vochuli nodded and then stepped forward.

"Your sir, the one who sold his companion to us, will become the new Celestial Dragon in Marijoa."

"Sad insect, but you still can't see the reality?"

"The execution time will be moved forward to half an hour later!"

At this time, Kuzan landed in the bay.

Reach out your hand to release the coldness.

Ice Age!

In an instant, the sea water in the bay was frozen, and it also provided a place for the revolutionary army to settle down.

At the same time, Borsalino jumped up, put his hands together to form a light mirror, and pointed it directly at the high platform in the bay.

"Sir... I won't allow you to slander me at will!"
