From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 299: The world looks like two years later.

"Oh!"

The two CP agents were thrown to the ground.

Escape was impossible, but the two looked at Trafalgar Law with mocking expressions.

"As expected, it is impossible for a user of the Operation Fruit to have no protective measures."

"A survivor of the White Town, but his fate was sealed the moment he was rescued."

Kevin on the side looked at the two idiots and also noticed Luo's gaze.

After thinking about it, he found a stool in the tent and sat down.

"Don't think you can escape by doing this. Using the life of an entire kingdom as bait is enough to sentence you to death."

Kevin paused and said, "But feel free to say whatever you want. You can tell me about your understanding of the ability of the Operation Fruit, or any of your speculations."

This attitude made the two CP agents look at each other and see surprise in each other's eyes.

Luo, who had been silent all the time, did not speak either.

A few years ago, he was rescued by the Revolutionary Army in Felevans. In order to cure his platinum disease and to save his sister, Little Lamy, he chose to eat the devil fruit.

As for the ability of the Ope Ope Fruit, Mr. did not hide it from the beginning.

Once the power of the fruit is awakened, it can perform the anti-aging surgery. For this reason alone, the power of this fruit will attract the attention of the world.

Sir also said at the beginning that this ability would be targeted by the World Government.

And in the past few years... Adrian and the doctors at Freifans in the past have reminded him more than once.

Immortality...will definitely not be targeted only by the World Government.

Such words were not only said by one person, but also influenced by what he heard and saw, and he had also wondered whether the gentleman had the same purpose.

"How can a person... not have desires?"

A CP0 agent muttered to himself.

He couldn't understand Kevin's attitude.

After the Battle of Marineford, this mentor of the Revolutionary Army had gained fame, status, wealth, and power to some extent.

Even One Piece is not as good as this gentleman is now.

If I could stay young forever...

But why doesn't the other party care?
You know, Trafalgar Law's ability development has not yet reached the level of awakening.

The other agent's eyes narrowed slightly, but he laughed the next second.

"No, how can a person of high position and power not wish for eternal life?"

He looked at Law and said, "We don't know much. It would be more accurate to say it's a guess. In the past, the World Government's offer for the Operation Fruit was 5 billion Beli."

"It's a lot, right? But compared to the current situation, 5 billion Baileys is nothing. The Five Elders are watching your existence personally, and the degree of importance they attach to you is completely different from the past."

“I have heard their concerns in their words.”

"What they're worried about... is the Cloak Man gaining the ability to never age."

……

For a moment, there was silence in the tent.

Kevin, who was sitting casually, looked behind the curtain and said, "If you want to listen, you can come together. You guys can't avoid my perception if you crowd outside like this."

The curtain was opened, and doctors from Freifans came in one by one, led by Adrian.

Anne looked at Kevin and said hesitantly, "We heard some noise here...so..."

Kevin waved his hand and said, "You can listen to them all. Besides, what they said is true. The Five Elders of this generation should really be worried about my ability to gain immortality."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

This is real?

how come……

Being watched by everyone, Kevin stood up and walked behind the CP0 agent.

"Don't be so tense... Although the ones in front of you are all medical teams, even if it's Annie, I can hold you down before you move."

The black spell moved from the ground and spread up to the necks of the two people.

The abilities of the Cloaked Man are no longer a secret among the World Government.

These are the coordinates of teleportation. If one's domineering aura reaches a certain level, it can be expelled from the body, but they dare not do so at all.

"why?"

Watching the black spell disappear, the two agents gave up the idea that had just arisen in their minds.

He just asked, "Why can you answer so straightforwardly? His fruit ability has not awakened yet... In this case, what if he never awakens?"

"It's not difficult to suppress the power of your fruit and stop developing or exploring it. If you do that, you will never gain the power of immortality."

Kevin sighed and glanced at the doctors.

"I never said I wanted to be immortal... The Five Elders were afraid of me because of their reasons, but I have my own ideas."

Kevin looked at Annie and the others and said, "Just like dreams, human desires are endless. If you can't control yourself at the beginning, you will inevitably be devoured by desire in the end."

"You may not understand what I mean... Let me put it another way."

"As the ideological enlightenment of the revolutionary army, I have been required to conduct ideological assessments for every revolutionary army since the O'Hara period. In this case, my existence itself has become semi-deified."

"If I were to gain eternal life again... I would probably become a new god."

……

Kevin and Luo's eyes met.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. After you awaken your mind, I think you will have your own ideas. It doesn't matter to me. The reason I don't stop them is because I don't care."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin had already placed his hands on the two agents, and the next moment he disappeared from the spot.

……

Everyone in the tent remained silent.

Just like Kevin said, they are able to look at problems with dialectical thinking and have their own independent thoughts.

The girl in Frefance who was reluctant to eat an apple now clenched her hands tightly.

Anne looked up: "I believe sir."

Adrian frowned. "Eternal life... This is not a question of belief or not. At that time, no one dared to stand up because they thought no one could resist such a temptation."

For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts.

"We will stand with Luo no matter what."

"I think it's better to leave and hide..."

"Where are you hiding? Sir, you are trustworthy. Without your protection, the World Government will definitely target Law."

……

Amid the noisy sounds, Luo was thinking about something.

It wasn't until everyone looked at him that he spoke in a deep voice: "Sir, you have made it very clear. If he becomes the new god, then everything the revolutionary army has stood for in the past will become a joke, so he won't."

"But what I really care about now is the question raised by those two agents. Why...why would the Five Elders be afraid of you gaining immortality?"

"After the Battle of Marineford, Mr. That Battle turned the situation around single-handedly, and even the Five Elders were burned to ashes. The new generation of the Five Elders, this is the answer given by the New Era Newspaper... The anti-aging surgery cannot improve a person's combat power, and anti-aging does not mean immortality."

The words fell, but no one could answer Luo's question.

Everyone fell silent, and they were also thinking about why the Five Elders were afraid.

……

Two years later.

At this time, three years had passed since the Battle of Marineford, and the entire ocean had become strangely calm during these three years.

The revolutionary army launched the Hundred Nations Revolution three years ago and liberated 356 countries and islands with Upside Down Mountain as the center.

Subsequently, the defense circle was formed, internal changes were made, laws were supplemented and revised, and the new navy was reorganized...

The liberated areas formed based on 356 countries and islands have undergone many reforms.

During the two years, the medical team was attacked six times, but the navy formed with Kong Gong as the marshal did not cause any major incidents.

Under the weird balance, people on each island were controlled more strictly over the past two years, and the New Age newspaper and radio became a scourge in the eyes of the world government and the ruling class.

But this does not stop people from yearning for a better life.

The people in the liberated areas had no gold from the sky, no nobles who oppressed the people, and no numerous taxes of all kinds.

Even if someone abuses their power for personal gain, they will be arrested and put on trial if discovered.

The revolutionary army used technology to liberate a certain amount of labor, increased the output of grain and various fruits and vegetables, and made the environment more suitable for living.

Under such circumstances, there are more and more forms of gatherings in non-liberated areas.

Sometimes there is no harm without comparison. Once there is comparison and the understanding of a good life, the pursuit of beauty becomes the most basic idea and freedom of human beings.

At this time, the newspapers distributed by the New Era before the blockade came into play. A large number of people who had learned to think were yearning and praying for how long it would take for the revolutionary army to liberate their country.

There are also people who took up arms, overthrew their oppressors, and then contacted the revolutionary army, hoping to become one of the countries in the liberated area.

The defense circle was expanded, and the islands seemed to be connected into a line, heading towards Mary Joa.

But even so, the World Government and Sora's navy are still just on the defensive.

They were waiting, and so were the Revolutionary Army and Kevin.

……

Donghai, Windmill Village, Goa City.

Since the aristocracy was overthrown, this former member state has become accustomed to its current life, and people have smiles on their faces every day.

Even Dadan, who used to make a living in the garbage mountain, no longer thought about his former life as a bandit.

free?

For some people, freedom sometimes comes from having no choice.

On the back mountain of Windmill Village, a small figure holding an iron stick in his hand jumped up and avoided the attack of the tiger opposite.

The next moment, the steel pipe's armed color hardened.

"boom!"

The tiger was knocked back by the blow, staring at the young man in front of him with a confused look.

Without waiting for it to charge forward again, he immediately turned around and ran.

"Amazing!"

Luffy on the side was clapping his hands, while Nami was counting her purse. Nochi took a look at the number she had written down.

"Finally! Graduation!"

Ace opened his hands and roared.

However, he soon became frustrated and said, "But why don't you let me join the Revolutionary Army? The teacher is a scholar, he must know where the Revolutionary Army is."

Nami glanced at him and said, "Except for the ideological class, he failed every course. If someone like him can join the Revolutionary Army, then everyone in our class can join, right?"

Ace pouted, "Anyway, I'm already seventeen years old. I must go out to sea and find my master. I want to change the world with him!"

Luffy on the side was full of envy: "I still have to wait for more than three years... By then I will definitely complete the most exciting adventure, obtain eight badges, go to the Grand Line... and become the king!"

Nami sighed, stood up, put her hands on her hips and looked at her two stupid older brothers.

"Do you...have the money to buy a boat to go out to sea?" "Hmm? A boat?"

"Do you need a boat to go out to sea?"

Nojigao on the side laughed dumbly: "So you are planning to go out swimming?"

Ace was stunned when he heard that, then he turned around and looked at Nami with a flattering expression.

"How about lending me money to buy a boat?"

Nami picked up the notebook in her hand and cleared her throat: "You currently owe a huge debt of 820,000 Baileys, and your credit rating is extremely low. So I can't lend you money!"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Ace's eyes widened. "Why are there so many? No, I'm going to look for that gentleman. He's your idol!"

Nami spread her hands and said, "How much do you think a ship costs? Without money, why go out to sea?"

Nojigo added: "Don't break the law, or you will never become a revolutionary and will be arrested and imprisoned."

With just one sentence, Ace's thoughts were shattered.

At this time, a masked figure appeared not far away and waved to them: "It's time to eat!!"

Three years have passed since the Battle of Marineford. In his peaceful life, Roger has become an ordinary father.

He would call his children to eat every day, and then he would collect his revolutionary army salary with a smug look on his face and retire to enjoy his old age.

After dinner at night, Ace met his father alone again.

In the woods behind the mountain, Ace was a little nervous.

After graduating from school at the age of seventeen, he will be able to go to sea and see his father's face under the mask. This is what Roger promised his son a few years ago.

"Are you here? Sit down."

Roger sat casually on the ground and patted the grass beside him.

Ace also sat down next to him.

"Where should I start... Never mind, let's take off the mask first. It's the latest model made by Vegapunk, and it's a bit troublesome to take off."

Roger then took off his mask, revealing a familiar face.

Ace was stunned, and Roger was also looking forward to it.

"Why the beard?"

Just one sentence made Roger's face stiffen.

After a while, Roger pointed at his face and said, "You don't recognize this face? Think about it carefully!"

Ace tilted his head, "It does look familiar, but haven't you been wearing a mask since you were a child? How can it look familiar to me?"

"You must be the masked man from the Revolutionary Army who just doesn't want to take me to see the Master! Humph!"

Roger was so angry that he fumed and glared. After thinking for a while, he took out the newspaper he had prepared earlier and slapped it in front of his son.

"World Economic Times? Even dogs don't read this stuff now."

As Ace glanced over, he was stunned the next moment.

This made Roger feel secretly happy.

Although I am indeed not as good as that gentleman, I was once a famous figure throughout the world.

The smile on the execution platform, the opening of the Great Pirate Era with one sentence, and the promotion of the transformation of the entire world, this kind of...

"what?"

"Oh!"

There was a slight sound, and Roger saw his son turn and run.

"Ace!"

"Pirate King Roger! I will definitely be able to see you sir after I report you!"

???

These words made Roger stunned at first, then veins popped up on his forehead, and he clenched his hands, loosened them, and clenched them again.

Three minutes later, Ace was tied and hung from a tree.

However, even so, as a determined liberation fighter, Ace still did not surrender.

"One Piece! Why are you lurking in the ranks of the revolution? What is your purpose?"

"The law has already defined the crime of pirates. I will definitely report you!"

"Even if you are the Pirate King, you will not be a match for sir, you will definitely be killed!"

"Evildoer! Your best option is to surrender..."

The more he listened, the angrier he became. Roger drew his sword back with his backhand. It didn't come out of the sheath, but it hurt.

"Ah! You bastard!"

"There's a sea here... wuwuwu!"

After his mouth was blocked, Roger began the so-called love education.

After beating up the filial son in front of him, he spoke: "I was able to come back from the dead and watch you grow up, all thanks to your ability, so do you think it would be useful for you to report it? Besides, I'm not a pirate anymore. I'm now an inspector of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army, and I get a subsidy."

Supervision?

Ace squinted his eyes, clearly not believing it.

Roger was furious and raised his hand to attack again.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Ace spoke quickly, and Roger realized that his son was still being silenced and couldn't speak.

However, as soon as he took it off, he regretted it.

"How can a pirate leader like you pass the test? You're probably not even as good as me, right?"

Roger took two breaths to calm himself down.

"The increase in subjects is to select a variety of talents. At that time, I only had ideological courses for assessment."

Ace's eyes widened, "This isn't fair! If you can become a revolutionary, why can't I?"

"Snapped!"

With a slap, the hanging Ace was sent flying, spiraling back and forth into the sky.

Roger said, "As a son, don't look down on your old father, you bastard! You actually want to report your own father, are you stupid?"

Ace spun around, still stubborn even though he felt dizzy.

"No...no way!"

However, when he stopped, his eyes were fixed on what Roger held in his hand.

It was a straw hat-shaped badge, and one of the eight badges required to travel from the East China Sea to the Grand Line.

"East Sea Badge of Courage? How is that possible?"

Roger snorted, "Do you think the Revolutionary Army's allowance is free, kid? If you want to go to the Grand Line, the East China Sea Adventure Group must get my approval."

Ace: "So you were not at home a lot in the past two years just to hand out badges? Give me one, I'm your son!"

Roger stared, a little surprised.

"Now you know that you are my son? Didn't you just want to draw a line between us?"

Speechless for a moment, the father and son stared at each other.

After Ace was put down, Roger also put away the badge.

"Ahem! You haven't received my approval yet. As one of the inspectors of the East China Sea, I can't be partial to you and commit corruption."

……

Ace pouted and then fell directly onto the grass.

"So I'm the son of a pirate? And this pirate is the Pirate King? Then do you... have any?"

"No."

"I didn't even ask, and you knew you didn't have it?"

Roger also lay beside his son: "The world a few decades ago is different from the world today. At that time, the world government ruled this sea, and there was no such thing as an adventure group."

Roger paused and said, "We are in the dark, but as I said at that time: people's dreams will never end."

"Starting from the East Sea Rogge Town, I wanted to turn the world upside down, but that was all. Because at that time, I couldn't see any hope of changing the world."

Ace was stunned: "So Dad, you also wanted to change the world in the beginning?"

"Cough cough."

Roger was a little embarrassed.

At that time, as my husband said, we were just in our middle school years, so there was no point in talking about whether to change or not.

It won't kill you to brag a little, and it can also scare that guy Rayleigh, after all, he has a boat.

How can you go out to sea without a boat? You just brag and deceive the crew, and even bring your own small fishing boat.

"I know what you wanted to ask. On my ship, it is an iron rule not to attack ordinary people. Sir, you also know this, which is why I was able to be resurrected by you."

Roger changed the subject and continued, "Later, I met many friends, fulfilled my dream of sailing around the world, found the final island, and learned the secrets of this world."

"But in the end, we still haven't been able to change the world. I used to think it was too early, but after Mr. came along, that reason is a little ridiculous."

Ace turned over and asked, "Well, Dad, you must have been with the Master before, right? Can you take me to meet the Master? I want to be a revolutionary, not an adventurer."

Roger smiled.

Sir, I have seen it more than once.

Although Ace has never seen his true face, it is likely that in the future, no one except them will ever see his true face.

"The Revolutionary Army will no longer accept new members."

"Huh? Impossible!"

"Don't think too much. After passing the ideological assessment, you should have joined your companions, right?"

Ace was stunned for a moment: "Yeah. After graduating from the academy, you can only join your companions after passing the ideological assessment and taking the oath."

Roger: "All members of the Revolutionary Army are fellow travelers, meaning they share the same ideals and are willing to fight for them all their lives, even at the cost of their lives."

As he said this, he looked at Ace and asked, "Do you remember the concept of your companions?"

Ace nodded and replied: "People first..."

As he spoke the outline smoothly, Roger could even hear from his tone that this was the will that his son was upholding.

Those who are in the same boat are those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for this program.

Roger stood up and turned his back to Ace.

"Stand with the people, uphold the oath you have sworn, and you will walk on the same path as Mr.

"The identity of the Revolutionary Army is not important, and even the Revolutionary Army will be disbanded in the future."

"Ace, your will needs courage to be firm, wisdom to execute, companions to walk with you, and the determination to risk your life..."

"After you get the certificate of the adventure group from the Navy Branch, you still need my approval. Otherwise, you can only stay in the East Sea."
