Chapter 58 You were born to join us—
Dragon looked at Kuroro with an extremely serious expression.
He had assumed that the person in front of him was just a rising star in the pirate army.
And now... he's finally starting to really value this man in front of him!
Kuroro's words were like a wake-up call. Yes, the foundation of revolution is, of course, the people! It is only right that it is the people!
Only through change in the people can the world truly be changed.
In an instant, he realized that the person in front of him possessed such profound knowledge and was definitely not an ordinary person who was exaggerating.
"Let's find a place..."
"Explain in detail."
Dragon led Chrollo and his group to the Revolutionary Army's hidden base in Loguetown, which was the basement of a tavern.
"This is a good location. It's a melting pot of all sorts of people, making intelligence gathering and distribution extremely convenient. Besides, no one will pay attention to this place; it's an excellent hiding spot."
Kuroro looked around and praised it.
However, Long had no interest in listening to his nonsense; he simply nodded in agreement.
He was completely absorbed by Kuroro's words just now.
He summoned the core members of the revolutionary army in the area, who lined up in front of Kuroro like schoolchildren, and took out their small notebooks.
Then he quietly sat down in front of Kuroro, revealing a longing look in his eyes, and unconsciously changed how he addressed him:
"Mr. Kuroro, please elaborate on your views on revolution."
Kuroro nodded, then cleared his throat, glanced around, and slowly spoke:
"I know that you all harbor a burning ideal to change the world and are shaking the foundations of the world with your fearless actions."
However, to eradicate the Celestial Dragons, this giant tree that has stood for thousands of years, merely cutting off their branches is far from enough; they must be uprooted.
He paused, then continued:
"In our region, there are countless examples throughout history of revolutionary organizations resisting tyranny and oppression, but only a very few have succeeded..."
However, after these people succeeded, their descendants, greedy for power and only knowing how to enjoy themselves, became the next generation of perpetrators of violence. This is a failed revolution...
Kuroro looked at the dragon, then spoke:
"Excuse my frankness, but in my opinion, Mr. Long's revolutionary army is among them."
"presumptuous--"
"Nonsense!"
"How dare you speak like that!"
"Mr. Dragon is a hero who saves the world!"
The core members of the Revolutionary Army behind the dragon were aroused by Kuroro's words.
Instead, a thoughtful look appeared in Dragon's eyes. He gestured for the crowd to subside, then turned to Kuroro:
"Please explain in more detail, sir."
Kuroro nodded and continued:
"When I say your revolution is a failed one, I don't mean you're destined to fail. On the contrary, I have high hopes for you!"
"The atrocities committed by the Celestial Dragons have escalated to the point that the World Government has transformed from a fair and just institution into a tool that only knows how to protect and exploit the Celestial Dragons."
"Under these grim circumstances, the revolutionary army was born out of necessity."
"However, the most fundamental direction of your revolutionary actions is wrong..."
The dragon's face showed some excitement, as if it had grasped something, but it also revealed a look of loss.
Seeing this, Kuroro felt a surge of amusement and continued:
"You establish armed forces, recruit army commanders, and form regiments."
To wage war and resist in areas where the World Government's control is weak, and to liberate nations oppressed by the World Government's harsh taxes.
It seems there's nothing wrong with what you're doing..."
"However, one crucial issue has been overlooked!"
"What is it?!" the dragon suddenly asked.
He subconsciously realized that the answer to this question was extremely important to him.
No...not just to him.
The answer to this question could affect the revolutionary army... and even the current global landscape!
Kuroro looked at him with an extremely serious expression and said, word by word:
"The most crucial issue is..."
"You should not be the instigators of resistance, but rather the... promoters of resistance."
"The promoters...the promoters..."
The dragon kept repeating the phrase, his expression as if he were possessed.
However, the core members of the revolutionary army behind him showed expressions of disdain.
"What's the difference between initiator and promoter?"
"To be honest, the person in front of me is just making things up!"
"Yes! Mr. Long, don't be misled by such an incompetent person!"
"Only under your leadership can the revolutionary army achieve victory!"
"Shut up—"
The next second, the dragon, who had always presented a gentle image, sternly reprimanded his subordinates, and the air froze instantly.
Dragon looked at Kuroro with an extremely eager expression, like a long-time opium addict seeing opium:
"What is it... tell me the difference..." His voice was extremely hoarse as he desperately suppressed the desire in his heart.
Kuroro looked at him meaningfully, his voice becoming ethereal.
The difference between the two is...
The instigators used their own armed forces to resist tyranny and confront the local government. Even if they succeeded, it would only be a temporary liberation, and another perpetrator would emerge.
"And the driving force is...."
To spread culture and promote ideas among the people, so that the local people would spontaneously participate in the revolution under the call of the revolutionary army, so that they would awaken and grow on their own, and eventually join the massive torrent of the revolutionary army!
They could even overthrow tyranny through their own power!
"The Promoter... The Promoter!" The dragon's eyes shone with an unprecedented light, growing brighter and brighter!
Kuroro watched this scene with a half-smile and continued:
"This is a long process, and although it will certainly take longer than launching a direct war, its impact... will be fundamental."
"This influence is deeply rooted. As people's minds are liberated, more and more wise men will emerge on this land, and tyranny will have no fertile ground to grow."
This land... will be completely transformed into an ideal place where democracy, harmony, and people live and work in peace and contentment!
"No...that's right!"
The dragon's face was more excited than ever before, like a desperate drowning person grasping at the last straw to change the timeline!
"That's right, that's exactly it!!!"
Upon seeing this, Kuroro smiled, opened his arms as if to embrace, and said in an extremely seductive voice:
"Mr. Long, have you ever heard the saying: 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it'?"
"The people are the largest population in the world."
"The most powerful force in this world is..."
"The power of the people—"
Dragon gripped Kuroro's hand tightly, refusing to let go, his voice trembling:
"Mr. Kuroro! You are a revolutionary genius, a pioneer sent by heaven to change the status quo."
You were born to be a part of us!
