“That act of liberating a place and immediately walking away makes it hard for the Revolutionary Army to truly gain anything; at most, it just provides comfort to your own conscience.”
“To fight against the powerful World Government, it is impossible to succeed without resources to develop.”
“This is not greed, but for the final victory and a better future.”
“You liberate them, freeing them from oppression, and in return, these countries fund you, just like a thick rope made of individual cotton threads tied together—unyielding and resilient.”
“These countries can be collectively termed as Republics, meaning countries that jointly create peace, forging a shared belief.”
“With resources, a foundation, beliefs, organization, discipline, and the support of the people, such a Revolutionary Army is a tiger that has grown its fangs and claws.”
Kazi’s words struck Monkey D.
Dragon like a thunderclap; it seemed the Revolutionary Army’s previous actions were indeed not perfect enough.
Kazi also judged the nature of the World Government very accurately and pointed out the development path for the Revolutionary Army.
This made Monkey D.
Dragon feel that the future path of the Revolutionary Army was brighter and broader.
“Rural areas encircling cities?”
“Republics!”
“Good, truly good.”
It seemed there was a reason the World Government was pursuing their Revolutionary Army so relentlessly; he figured the allied countries he had liberated must have angered those Celestial Dragons.
The World Government was powerful; it seemed necessary to first absorb those non-allied countries, and only after the Revolutionary Army grew strong would they be qualified to openly challenge the World Government.
“Hearing Mr.
Kazi’s words has opened my eyes.”
“I boldly invite Mr.
Kazi again to join our Revolutionary Army.”
“Even if it means giving up the position of leader, I would have no regrets.”
Monkey D.
Dragon’s expression was incredibly serious; he truly wanted to make the Revolutionary Army better.
Kazi’s philosophy was more complete and hit the nail on the head.
If Kazi joined, the Revolutionary Army would surely be able to realize the dream of overthrowing the World Government and liberating the whole world.
“Monkey D.
Dragon, you…”
Ivankov was a bit anxious upon hearing Monkey D.
Dragon’s words.
Even if what Kazi said made sense, he was still someone they had just met.
Offering the leader’s position directly to the other party was too risky.
“No need to say more.
I can tell that Mr.
Kazi has righteousness; he is not the type who would defect to the World Government.”
Monkey D.
Dragon raised his hand, interrupting what Ivankov was about to say, his gaze never leaving Kazi from start to finish.
“Not bad at all, Kazi.
I didn’t expect you to have such skills.”
Kalmande patted Kazi on the back, feeling that this Captain was not only unserious but also had a natural talent for preaching grand principles.
Makino was smiling behind them, not saying much.
However, Kazi’s words had indeed shocked her quite a bit.
She felt she hadn’t misjudged Kazi; he was indeed an amazing man.
Even if Kazi decided to join the Revolutionary Army, she would support him.
“Hey, hey, don’t put so much pressure on me; I’ll be embarrassed.”
“Hahaha, sorry, Monkey D.
Dragon.”
“I won’t join the Revolutionary Army.
The life I want isn’t like that; I can only cheer for you from the sidelines.”
Although Monkey D.
Dragon had a premonition, he still felt a bit disappointed and unwilling.
Kazi was too perfect for their Revolutionary Army; he was drooling just thinking about it.
“Since that is the case, I won’t force it.
If Mr.
Kazi changes his mind in the future, the Revolutionary Army will always welcome you.”
“This is my den den mushi.
If there is anywhere you need our Revolutionary Army, you can contact me.”
Monkey D.
Dragon handed Kazi a den den mushi.
If Kazi asked for their help, that would be a favor.
If he encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, didn’t he now have a way to contact Kazi?
Either way, it was a gain.
Kazi took the den den mushi and looked at Monkey D.
Dragon, saying: “Revolution requires courage and blood.
Facing this crimson path, I hope you can achieve final victory.”
“Courage and blood…
huh.”
Monkey D.
Dragon muttered Kazi’s words, feeling they fit the Revolutionary Army’s philosophy perfectly.
They were brave warriors who, because they loved peace, wanted to overthrow the corrupt rule of the World Government.
This road was destined to have great sacrifices and be filled with blood.
However, they had to walk forward without hesitation; otherwise, the world would never change, and their children and grandchildren would still be in the same state.
If they didn’t do it, their descendants would have to.
Kazi didn’t care if his influence on Monkey D.
Dragon would mess up the known plot; he would enjoy himself first.
Since he arrived in this world, he had already been the biggest variable.
No need to worry about so much; otherwise, he might as well jump into the sea and drown—that would guarantee the original plot wouldn’t change.
You really have to admit, this feeling of showing off in front of others is just great.
He had fooled Monkey D.
Dragon completely.
The grand principles he spoke of were things done by great figures in his previous life; he was just an obscure porter.
Kazi had fought to his heart’s content, finished showing off, and returned to his ship satisfied.
“Mr.
Dragon, we must take our leave.
You should go back and see Luffy when you have time; he is a child with a dream now.”
Makino waved at Monkey D.
Dragon; she didn’t tell Monkey D.
Dragon that Luffy wanted to be the Pirate King.
She figured that when Mr.
Dragon saw that kind of Luffy with his own eyes, he would be a little surprised.
Kazi and his group came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Ivankov blinked, looking at the stunned Monkey D.
Dragon, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, Monkey D.
Dragon collected his thoughts, went back to his room to find a new notebook, and wrote down all the revolutionary philosophies Kazi had just spoken of.
Finally, he wrote the words “Advanced Revolutionary Philosophy” on the cover.
This notebook would be the direction for his progress.
Kazi hadn’t thought much when he met Monkey D.
Dragon just now, but thinking back, this year was when Sabo would go to sea.
In the original work, Sabo’s small boat was sunk by the Celestial Dragons’ cannon, and he was injured and lost his memory.
In the end, Monkey D.
Dragon appeared in time, secretly saved Sabo, taught him martial arts and knowledge, and eventually, he became an outstanding Chief of Staff for the Revolutionary Army.
So, at this time, it was very normal for Monkey D.
Dragon to appear in the East Blue.
“Kazi, did you really want to learn about Mr.
Dragon just because you met Luffy?”
Makino smiled as she walked over with a glass of orange juice and handed it to him.
Kazi stood on the deck, letting the fresh, slightly salty sea breeze blow, took a sip of orange juice, and said: “Not entirely.”
“Since I’m here, I might as well add some spice to this world to make it interesting.”
Kazi felt that the more outstanding the Revolutionary Army was, the safer he would be.
The World Government wouldn’t have so much free time to stare at their group of pirates.
Of course, except for that fated Joy Boy who would attract the World Government’s gaze.
Kazi’s confident appearance made Makino a little fascinated.
“Then I will accompany you to see what this world becomes.”
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
