From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 287: People’s hearts are fickle, and they use public opinion to pursue their own desires

Near the port of Jiushe Island, warships were lined up in a row, with their guns all pointed towards the island.

Rob Casey said to Kevin, "Is Mr. General coming?"

Kevin shook his head slightly: "It is your CP's responsibility to announce the other party's crime. I am only responsible for the military support in this operation. You can do it."

Hearing this, Robcasi smiled, then walked up to the bow, not afraid of the arrows from the Nine Snake Island warriors, and said directly: "Former Shichibukai Boa Hancock, because he did not obey orders during the war and instead attacked the World Government agents, he is now stripped of his Shichibukai position."

"Pirates of Nine Snake Island, you now have two choices... Surrender, or choose to fight a war without any suspense?"

Under the muzzle of the huge warship, Rob Cassi's words had an inexplicable deterrent effect.

Although all the warriors of the Kingdom of Women of Nine Snake Island possess domineering power, most of them cannot even be covered with armament color.

At this time, the national defense soldiers at the port were on full alert, with their domineering aura condensed in their arrows, but they were so small to the warships and cannons.

Kikyo, the captain of the national defense warriors, looked solemn: "Have you informed the emperor? There are admirals up there. If the enemy attacks forcefully..."

At this time, Hancock's voice came from a distance: "Don't worry, Nine Snake Island will be fine."

A tall figure came from a distance and landed at the port, confronting the warship.

"With my beauty, I will be forgiven no matter what. Do you...really want to do something to me?"

The cold and arrogant voice coupled with her stunning appearance and tall figure, and the charm of being known as the most beautiful woman in the world, made even the CP's agents feel a tremor in their hearts.

It was also at this time that Hancock waved her hands and a pink heart shape condensed in front of her.

The arrow of the captive.

The fingertips touched the lips and pulled the pink bowstring. Suddenly, pink arrows flew towards the warship in large numbers.

But the next moment...

"Shh!"

The slash came from the air with a domineering force, and with one strike, it shattered the pink arrows in the air.

Yi Hai shouted angrily: "Clear your heads! As an agent of the CP agency, do you want to die in this state?"

The sound echoed throughout the nearby sea, but at the same time, the slashing blow was blocked by a rising protective shield just as it approached.

This scene is so familiar to the agents of the World Government...

In the Battle of Marinford, the attack of the ancient weapons of the Celestial Dragons, which were disclosed by the New Era as national treasures and could destroy an island with one strike, was blocked by this same protective shield, and the Revolutionary Army was not wiped out in one fell swoop.

And now, the same technological power has appeared on Nine Snake Island. What this represents is self-evident.

"Boya Hancock!"

Rob Casey's eyes were extremely solemn: "You were a member of the revolutionary army from the beginning?"

Hancock lifted her hair and said, "Do I need to explain my position to a dirty man like you? A great man like you, what you do represents the dawn of the world, and no one can stop you!"

Rob Casey was furious when he heard this.

This operation is related to his promotion, and more importantly, whether he can get rid of his identity as an agent and become a manager, so that he can meet his son and pave the way for him.

But now, the halo covering Nine Snake Island has shattered all his fantasies.

"Pirates are pirates. Even the power of the Shichibukai cannot make you truly obedient!"

Rob Cassi raised his head slightly and gave the order at the same time: "Clone Army! Surround Nine Snake Island and kill anyone who leaves the island!"

As soon as the words fell, figures wearing cloaks of justice jumped up from the warships, and the warships began to encircle the entire Nine Snake Island.

At the same time, Rob Casey also looked at Hancock: "How long can such a turtle shell protect you? Under siege, your country will not have any chance of survival! Surrender, and I can take you back alone!"

Hancock was still disdainful: "Who do you think you are? Even the World Government was nothing but a defeated dog after the Battle of Marinford. And you... are nothing more than a dog!"

At this time, Yi Hai jumped up.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand was covered with domineering aura and chopped down with force.

"boom!!"

The sea water was broken and the waves surged up.

But the slash landed on the halo, and only caused ripples, without any effect.

Landing on the deck again, the agent next to him said, "Mr. General, that kind of defensive halo cannot be broken by human power. You..."

"Snapped!"

Cassie slapped him to the ground and said, "General, I was just testing you, stop talking!"

After saying that, he looked at the artificial corpse: "But the defensive power that can defend against ancient weapons cannot be underestimated. Next, we can only surround it..."

Before he could finish his words, the agents exclaimed.

"Captain! Open it!"

"The unbreakable halo is open! How dare they?"

"We have a general with great fighting power. Do they want to fight us?"

"Take the opportunity to kill them!"

"Captain, you guys..."

Before he finished speaking, the agents facing the port fell silent in an instant, and the pupils in their eyes suddenly contracted.

At this moment, a figure at the port slowly walked out holding the hilt of a knife.

No one will forget that look.

Although that was not the true appearance of the Cloaked Man, the temporary appearance of the Cloaked Man was seen by the whole world during the Battle of Marinford.

The flames can burn down islands and even create a deep pit on the sea surface. Such individual power is even comparable to ancient weapons.

"Gu..."

Rob Cassi even heard the sound of people swallowing saliva beside him, and those ordinary agents who had survived the war before were shaking uncontrollably at this moment.

"Fight... the cloaked man!"

"How could he...how could he be here?"

"Run! Run away!"

"How can we possibly win? We don't have any chance of winning..."

Rob Cassi's body was also shaking, and the animal awakening was also used at this moment.

When Kevin's real body stepped out of the port of Nine Snake Island, the clone army suddenly launched an attack.

"tumultuous!"

A high-temperature flame swept over from under the red cloak, but when it approached, it was directly absorbed by the long sword at the waist.

Electric Blue's kick fell from the sky, but was tightly grasped by a hand, and then he turned around and hit the sea level outside the port.

"Snapped!"

As the waves splashed, its entire body collapsed.

With his nearly top-notch physical talent, even a casual blow from him would not be something the clones could withstand.

From the island to the port, the clone army created by Vinsmoke Judge was endless, but none of them was a match for the enemy and all were swatted down like flies.

With the Observation Haki that has already reached the level of foreseeing the future, the ability to turn invisible in black is completely meaningless.

Holding the hilt with his right hand, Chiyang slightly unsheathed the knife.

"Squeak..."

At this moment, red thunder resounded throughout the sky. The intertwined lightning swept across the sea level and fell on Rob Cassi in an instant.

"what!!"

A scream was heard, and Rob Cassie's ability dissipated in an instant. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"The time has not come yet. Go back and tell those five puppets that if they don't want me to kill Mary Geoise and start the final battle, then they should stay quiet."

Kevin's voice sounded behind Rob Cassie, and at the same time, his sharp eyes turned to his own artificial body.

"The only marine who failed to recognize what justice really is has now truly become a dog of the World Government."

Under the overwhelming pressure, Yi Hai's expression remained unchanged, and his right hand also tightly grasped the hilt of the knife: "In the name of justice, this world has been turned upside down, causing countless people to sacrifice their lives. If this is the justice of the Revolutionary Army... I do not recognize it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his domineering aura condensed into the blade and he was able to draw the sword.

"boom!"

The blade was easily blocked, but the impact caused the entire warship to sink suddenly and then float again.

"Shh!"

Kevin suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Yi Hai.

"Your Observation Haki has not reached the level of foresight, and your Haki has not formed the Observation Slash to block your own future. A general like you is vulnerable in front of me."

"puff!"

A cold light flashed by, and blood splattered behind the artificial corpse.

"Boom."

With the long sword sticking to the ground, Yi Hai stared at his original body which had returned to him again.

"asshole!"

Rob Cassie roared and swung a punch, but only the afterimage was dispersed.

Kevin still looked at the artificial body: "You have a good physique, but you don't have the domineering Haki. You can only be a general at this level."

The moment the words fell, the knife fell again.

"puff!"

There was a deep wound on the chest that could see the bone and was bleeding profusely, and the prosthetic body fell to the ground.

At the same time, Kevin turned around and swung the knife.

"tumultuous!!"

A raging flame swept past, and the eight clones that rushed over could withstand the high temperature of 6,000 degrees, but they could not resist the sharp domineering aura.

The cloak was cut, and the defenseless clone was split into two and fell into the sea.

At the same time, Kevin Moonstep flew high into the sky and destroyed the warships one after another, leaving only Rob Cassie's ship.

"Remember what I asked you to bring. This is the only value of your survival." Kevin said and disappeared again, standing side by side with Hancock at the port.

Rob Cassidy's eyes widened when he saw this scene, but he could only order a retreat.

There was no wind, and there was only this one warship left. But he didn't dare to look back, because if he did, he might be beheaded.

Kevin's artificial body is also being taken to the cabin for emergency treatment. For the World Government, this can be used as a sign of reconstruction.

This operation should have been a sure thing, but who could have known that the Cloaked Man was actually visiting Nine Snake Island, and at the same time, the defensive shield that appeared in the Battle of Marinford also appeared on Nine Snake Island at this moment.

The campaign to conquer the former Seven Warlords of the Sea was declared a failure. They had no chance of winning because the disparity in combat power was too great.

……

One day later, news of the failure of the expedition against the Seven Warlords of the Sea spread back to the powers in Marijoa.

Not only the operation against Nine Snake Island, but also the operation against Hawkeye Mihawk failed.

Compared to the Nine Snake Island, the world's greatest swordsman was alone and left the island as soon as it was surrounded.

The encirclement of the warships was completely in vain and there was no point.

"How stupid can one be to come up with a strategy of using pirates to restrain pirates? None of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will actually follow orders."

"Yes, that Hanafza."

"Lizard King? Does that idiot's fighting power mean anything?"

"There are also Crocodile and Doflamingo. These two even directly set their sights on the member states, causing those bugs to begin to doubt the power of the World Government."

"Don't worry...those nobles are not fools."

Saint Satan's voice interrupted the others, and then he continued, "They all knew about the liberation operation launched by the revolutionary army. The nobles of those kingdoms were thrown to the ground by the angry bugs, and countless of them were hanged."

“They have no other choice but us.”

At this point, Satan paused and said, "You should understand the meaning of what the senior agent brought back. He is threatening us, and at the same time, he is threatening the entire Marijoa."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Five Elders met each other's eyes.

The meaning of what the senior CP0 agent brought back was already very clear.

Dominating Mary Geoise with the power of authority, the raging fire would inevitably cause heavy losses to the holy land, and would also cause the five of them to be replaced again.

But at the same time... he would definitely die.

"The eight hundred years that have lasted have not yet come, but the world will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. Bugs are necessary to serve the world's nobles, and the world's great conscription has just begun."

"Be careful to be discreet when operating in the North Sea."

"The future of this world is still in our hands. The thought that once caused the planet to die should no longer exist in this world."

……

A month later, a month and a half had passed since the Battle of Marinford that shocked the world, and the entire ocean had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The revolution of a hundred countries was successfully concluded after a month. With Upside-down Mountain as its center, it radiated to all corners of the world, and nearly three hundred islands and countries underwent revolution.

The people took up arms and began to resist, dragging the nobles who had oppressed them in the past off the throne and pushing those with bloody hands to the gallows.

But this is not without problems.

At the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Kevin, Dragon and Sengoku are having a meeting.

Even Zhan Guo was a little out of control and slammed the table: "This is no longer a revolution, but a riot!"

"Emotions have been ignited, and anyone with a little bit of wealth will be accused of a crime! If this continues, the situation will become uncontrollable!"

Dorag frowned: "In my memory, ordinary people in that country should not have such a mentality..."

Having said this, Drago paused and looked at Kevin: "Sir..."

Kevin nodded slightly and replied: "The disadvantages brought by the enlightenment have begun to appear. When life is born with wisdom, it is inevitable that people's hearts will change, and it is also inevitable that some evil will be born."

“People’s minds are fickle. When their numbers reach a certain level, their minds will become even more fickle after they are enlightened.”

"The people of this world have been oppressed by the nobles for eight hundred years. After realizing that this is not justified, their anger will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

"It is possible to use the public anger to achieve one's own selfish desires, to stand on the moral high ground and make a fuss, or even to secretly become a new noble."

"Those who are obedient and willing to give benefits will be safe, but those who are disobedient and unwilling to give benefits will be tortured in various ways the next day..."

Kevin looked at Zhan Guo at this point and said, "Even if you give them benefits, they will kill you with the blade of justice, because no matter whether it is wealth or beautiful daughters and wives, they can take them for themselves after this."

Zhan Guo clenched his hands and said, "Since you have already predicted this, why?"

Kevin replied: "What I said probably hasn't happened yet. The New Age newspaper enlightens people, but it only teaches them how to think."

"To really reach the level I just mentioned, they need to see more temptations, and after tasting the sweetness for the first time, they need to learn how to use public opinion to form power."

"Besides... this is exactly why your navy didn't join the Revolutionary Army, Sengoku."

After the words fell, Zhan Guo was stunned.

Looking at the gentleman in front of her, even though she knew that this was not his real face, her heart still trembled.

People's minds change, but how amazing is it that the gentleman who could have thought of the current situation from the beginning...

No, even the level that those people have not yet reached was pointed out directly by the gentleman at this moment, without any reservation.

"Have the Navy's branches in various towns been incorporated?"

Kevin asked.

Zhan Guo replied: "In the liberation operation centered on Upside Down Mountain, the navy with true justice in mind has been selected, and the incorporation of branches in various regions is going smoothly."

At this point, Zhan Guo paused and said, "Sir, if the navy arrests these people, what should we do if we are questioned?"

Kevin looked strange when he heard this, and then he sighed.

"Marshal Sengoku... the minds of the people after they have become enlightened are complicated. Even though there are only 256 islands and kingdoms at present, the population is still a huge number."

"When the number of people reaches 100, everyone has their own thoughts. What about tens of millions of people? In this case, everyone represents their own interests. If everyone can influence the implementation of policies and the will of the political core, then the world will fall into real chaos."

"Lawmaking requires a core, and the navy also needs a core, and the core is the same: justice, order, morality, and law."

"As for doubts?"

"Do what is right, expose all the darkness hidden under the bright surface, and there will be no doubt."

"You have to believe that the public has a sharp eye!"

“If you can truly put the people in your heart, then the people will lift you up. The New Times and the Broadcasting Center can broadcast the truth behind everything to the world, and kind people are the majority after all.”

For a moment, Zhan Guo fell into deep thought, thinking back over every word Kevin said in his mind.

These words seemed to open the door to a new world for him, and made him understand what justice in the future navy would look like.

The world needs a navy, and the world needs a navy at all times.

At this time, Kevin looked at Dorag and said, "Governing towns, planning the country and promoting economic development are the areas that need attention within the scope of the Revolutionary Army's liberation. After the tax reform, we need to make the people richer and richer. If they still can't get enough food, our efforts will be meaningless."

"There are talents in this area, but they are far from enough. Over the past decade or so, we have trained a lot of people with awakened minds and broadened horizons. Let them become the first batch of city managers and work with the navy to eliminate the current chaos."

"Chaos cannot last long. Once it does, the momentum cannot be stopped. If it becomes a malignant tumor, it will require bloodshed to eradicate it."

Dorag frowned and nodded solemnly.

This discussion at the meeting shocked even the leader.

In the past, he believed that as long as he overthrew the Celestial Dragons and overthrew the rule of Marijoa, he would be able to bring dawn to this world.

But now it seems that how to manage it is the real difficulty.

Born with knowledge... People like you who can foresee the distant future may be the real luck of this world.

……

East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa.

As Garp's hometown, it naturally became one of the targets of the Revolutionary Army's liberation operation.

At this moment, all the nobles in the kingdom had been wiped out, and those nobles who had blood on their hands in the past were hanged within twelve days.

However, early this morning, a young man holding a long sword from the previous king's army, led a group of people behind him, shouting slogans and heading towards the direction of the palace.

Three days ago, Cole tasted the sweetness of house raiding.

He hid behind during the battle with the remaining nobles, and only rushed out after the guards were dead, and got a large box of jewelry.

The nobles’ treasures should have been turned in and then returned to the people after verification by the management, but he simply hid them and stayed awake all night in excitement.

After thinking it over and over in his mind, he finally thought of the place where the greatest wealth was gathered...the palace.

So he had been inciting people non-stop these past few days, saying in his words and deeds that the palace was the remnant of the aristocracy and the source of their past oppression, and must be destroyed!

The inflammatory tone and various stories that they had heard from others made many people stand up at once. They wanted to prove their courage and their courage to resist.

So they became the knife, and perhaps in the future they will become the new knife wielders.

However, at this time, a sound attracted Cole's attention.

In the alley next to him, a pair of frightened big eyes made him feel overjoyed, as if he had seen endless gold.

"Hahaha! There are still remnants of the nobles here!"

"Now, we are going to put them on trial!"

A group of people rushed to the alley, and Cole felt as if he had supreme power.

"No...don't hurt my mother!"

A little girl pouted, her princess dress was covered with dirt, her body was trembling slightly and her eyes were filled with tears, but she still bravely opened her arms to stop everyone.

Behind him, a pale-faced woman stopped him and hugged him back, while looking at the people in front of her.

"Please... please... we have no money left, really."

Cole's eyes swept over the snow-white neck, and the blue pendant attracted his greed.

"We, the lowly people, once knelt down and begged for your forgiveness, but have you, the nobles, ever shown any mercy?"

"The Kingdom of Goa has been liberated! And we are all brave warriors fighting for the dawn of the world!"

"Now! You will be judged by us!"
