“Kazi was still reflecting on the battle just now.
He had put the techniques he’d thought of over the past few days into practice, and he was now much more proficient with them.”
“With the enhancement of the Absolute Space, Kazi felt that his level of Observation Haki was also improving rapidly.”
“It was like a cheat tool; it didn’t just simply amplify the strength of his Observation Haki, but also increased the efficiency of his improvement.”
“”Who am I?””
“”My name is Kazi, and as is obvious, I am a pirate.””
“”As for my purpose, I just set sail from the Goa Kingdom not long ago and met a child named Luffy, who I heard is Vice Admiral Garp’s grandson.””
“”Now that I see the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D.
Dragon, I naturally have to get to know him properly.””
Dragon didn’t expect that Kazi had actually come from Foosha Village.
No wonder they met; he had also been planning to take a stroll to Foosha Village to see his son.
“”Mr.
Dragon, it’s me, Makino!””
Makino waved from afar on the ship.
She had met Dragon when she was a child.
Back then, Dragon was still a Marine.
Sometimes when Garp was on leave, he would bring Dragon back and use the vacation time to give him extra training, working him hard.
This was the reason why Dragon’s physical techniques and Haki were so formidable.
Talent was one aspect, but Garp frequently bringing him along for training was also a crucial part of it.
Later, Dragon left the Marine, traveled everywhere searching for like-minded partners, and established the Freedom Fighters, always wanting to liberate the oppressed commoners.
Even coming back to his hometown was a rare and secretive affair, so Makino hadn’t seen Dragon ever since.
“”So it’s Makino.””
That little girl from before had grown up.
Dragon had returned to Foosha Village a few times and knew she had opened a tavern.
After all, Luffy often went there, and Dragon had certainly looked into it beforehand.
Since Makino was here, it seemed that what the man before him said was true.
“”It seems you have gone to the trouble of spending time with Luffy.
Thank you.””
He understood what kind of character his son had.
To put it nicely, he was carefree; to put it bluntly, he was a few screws short.
“”Hahaha, that’s nothing.
The kid is very spirited.””
“”Mainly, I heard you established the Revolutionary Army and are a man with a strong spirit of resistance, so I wanted to see what you were really like.””
Kazi was indeed very curious.
Dragon appeared too little in the original story and always carried an air of mystery.
Now that he was seeing him in person, such an opportunity didn’t come often.
“”Oh?””
“”Could it be that you are also interested in the philosophy of the Revolutionary Army?””
“”I can explain the philosophy of our Revolutionary Army to you in depth.””
Dragon didn’t expect the other party to have this idea.
He wasn’t sleepy anymore; he had to talk to Kazi properly about their Revolutionary Army’s philosophy.
If the other party recognized their philosophy, there was a possibility of bringing him over to complete their unfinished ideals together.
He had deeply experienced Kazi’s combat power, and his Devil Fruit ability was also elusive.
If he could become a member of their Revolutionary Army, that would be a major asset.
Blah, blah, blah~
Dragon explained everything they were currently doing and their great ideals in one breath, wanting to see Kazi’s reaction.
Unfortunately, he didn’t see that sense of agreement on Kazi’s face.
To put it plainly, Dragon and his group had always been recruiting like-minded companions from all over the world and conducting wars of liberation in places that were oppressed.
After finishing a battle in one place, they would retreat, letting the local commoners re-elect a new leader to lead the citizens toward peace.
Their ultimate ideal was to liberate the whole world, allowing everyone to no longer be oppressed.
But for so many years, their development had never been fast.
They were always afraid of being targeted by the World Government, so they always hit and run.
Kazi shook his head internally after hearing this.
It would be a miracle if they could develop quickly like that.
No wonder that after so many years, the Revolutionary Army still had to constantly buy food and had no source of their own at all.
Only when they suppressed the nobles could they get a windfall to buy weapons and food.
“”The philosophy of your Revolutionary Army is too backward.””
Kazi’s blunt words made Dragon feel a bit uncomfortable.
This was a philosophy that so many of them believed in, and having it denied by someone else was indeed hard to accept.
“”I don’t know what different views you might have, but feel free to state them.””
But Dragon’s self-restraint was quite good; he didn’t lose his composure and wanted to ask what high insights Kazi had.
During the time they were talking, Kalmande and Makino had also sailed over.
The two of them boarded the ship directly and came to Kazi’s side.
Ivankov also came to Dragon’s side and said: “”That’s right, Kazi Boy.
If you have any different views, feel free to say them.
We in the Revolutionary Army love new suggestions the most.””
Anyway, they weren’t fighting anymore, so it was very safe, and the few people who were still conscious had all gathered together.
Kazi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said: “”Since you are asking so earnestly, I will graciously tell you my views.””
“”Ahem~””
Kazi cleared his throat in a flashy manner.
“”First, recognizing the gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves is correct, but this approach of hitting and running and then leaving everything alone is unacceptable.””
“”The enemy is strong and we are weak, but what the World Government truly cares about are only those member nations.””
“”In their eyes, those non-member nations don’t count as people at all; only member nations are barely considered lowly subjects in their eyes.””
“”It’s also understandable.
Countries that can afford the Heavenly Tribute are all economically powerful.
Those non-member nations are too poor and simply cannot afford the expensive Heavenly Tribute, which can also be called protection money.””
“”To the World Government, non-member nations are completely worthless.””
“”And when the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is precisely the time to unite all the forces that can be gathered.””
“”The Revolutionary Army can wage large-scale wars of liberation in non-member nations, but after success, do not unconditionally hand over political power to the new local government.””
“”Instead, recruit like-minded companions locally and support your own Revolutionary Army members to lead this newly liberated country.””
“”This way, it will be easier for you to grasp the situation in this country later on, and it won’t easily breed new corruption.””
“”And those countries you have liberated can provide money and food for the Revolutionary Army.
Even if each country doesn’t give much, after accumulating it, it will be a very large figure.””
“”This will also allow you to break free from the situation of being unable to independently obtain food and money.””
“”Your main force will still remain in a hidden state to avoid being tracked by the World Government, but with the support of food, funds, and a population base, you will definitely be able to develop and grow more rapidly.””
“”If we compare member nations to cities and non-member nations to the countryside, it’s like the feeling of the countryside surrounding the cities.””
“”Once your Revolutionary Army has liberated enough non-member nations, then you can consider liberating those member nations.””
“”After all, you are still too weak right now.
If you continue as before, waging wars of liberation in both member and non-member nations, the World Government certainly won’t sit idly by.””
“”After all, without the tribute from the member nations, those Celestial Dragon big shots won’t be able to maintain their decadent and extravagant lives, which is something they cannot tolerate.””
“”Non-member nations need to be liberated, capable comrades need to be invited, and funds and food will be resolved; it just takes a certain amount of time to realize this.””
“”When there is a change in the world, you can raise the banner and truly sound the horn to overthrow the World Government.””
“”There are so many non-member nations; when the time comes and most of the people in the world respond, that will be the moment when the Revolutionary Army is most terrifying.””
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
