Chapter 106 The Second Confrontation

In the solemn atmosphere, no one spoke except Kevin. Even the people of Wano Country slowed down their breathing, not daring to disturb them in the slightest.

At the same time, those names and ages went straight to their hearts when they heard them.

Three days ago, these young names were still vibrant lives, but now they have turned into a pile of ashes and a piece of record.

And these young lives were sacrificed for these people, so that they would no longer be oppressed by the Beasts Pirates.

Over the years, many families in Wano Country have died in mines, and some have died in resistance.

Even among the prostitutes in the red-light district, many of them were thrown out of the general's mansion as a corpse covered with wounds.

Five years ago, they were full of hope after knowing that His Highness Oden had returned, but they lost hope after seeing that disgusting dance. The foolish His Highness could not save them, even if he endured humiliation, he still could not save them in five years.

Family members are still dying, and being forced to work in mines and weapons factories is still happening.

And their Lord Oden was still dancing.

Until... until the Revolutionary Army appeared. They were like gods descended from the sky, helping the Wano Country and driving away the pirates who bullied them.

Although they were not related to them, they were willing to help them at the cost of their lives.

For a moment, an impulsive thought surrounded their hearts.

The urge became more and more intense as the atmosphere on the scene grew, and the urge to join the revolutionary army and this team at all costs became more and more intense.

But at the same time, the fear of death is also suppressing this impulse.

They are just ordinary people who have never practiced swords, let alone Ryuo. They are afraid of death and also afraid of fighting with the enemy.

But Kevin's goal has been achieved.

As long as the seed is planted, it will take root and sprout under the education of thought in the future. After understanding that sacrifice is for one's own future and truly regarding it as glory, the seed will blossom and bear fruit.

At this time, a childish voice sounded from the outside.

"Me! I want to join the revolutionary army!"

Kevin looked over and saw a little girl wearing white clothes, wooden clogs, and with horns on her head exactly like Kaido's, raising her hand.

The voice reciting the life story of the victim did not stop. Kevin glanced at the little girl who was laughing loudly and continued to recite.

But among the samurai of Wano Country, some have already recognized her.

"The same devil horns as Kaido!"

"She is Kaido's daughter!"

"Such a sinful bloodline, kill her!"

……

Amid the noise, Kevin frowned and said, "Silence!"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Kevin gestured to Big Bear, then continued to recite the names one by one.

Big Bear pulled the little girl who was being pushed around in the crowd and almost hacked to death out and put her next to him.

"I want to join the revolutionary army!"

The little girl still raised her head stubbornly and looked at the big bear.

Big Bear glanced at her and whispered, "To join the revolutionary army, you must first respect your fellow soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the revolution. Please keep quiet at this time."

The little girl blinked, then looked at Kevin in the center.

She knew that figure. It was this person who cut her father down from the sky. The fire that seemed to be able to destroy the world completely lit up the gloomy sky of the entire Wano Country!
He was her idol, the man who had done what she had always wished for.

And there is the Revolutionary Army. The ideas that the man just talked about, the equality of all lives, the ideals and the determination to change the world are what she has always longed for.

And he must have heard that she was Kaido's daughter, but he spoke out to stop an ordinary person who was about to attack him in anger.

Sure enough, the bet was right!

……

The time lasted from early morning to night, and the revolutionary army held the urns upright in their arms, each of which contained the life record of the urn's owner.

The experiences of each of the 485 people who died were heard by the people of Wan State who were watching the scene.

For the first time, they realized that those who sacrificed themselves for their future were people who had suffered just as they had in the past.

So... their inner conscience told them what to do.

"Sir, I...I want to join the revolutionary army."

This time, after someone started it, more and more people wanted to join.

But this is not what Kevin wants.

Most of these people are just acting impulsively at the moment. Given the atmosphere, their bodies make choices before their brains.

Kevin looked at the people kneeling on one knee in front of him, including Yamato who was following suit.

“Are you afraid of sacrifice?”

"No fear!"*123
Kevin shook his head slightly: "No, in fact, you are not afraid at this moment. When you really face the choice between life and death, you who have not yet understood the true meaning of the word revolution will still be afraid."

A warrior who was kneeling on one knee raised his head and said, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with my weakness?"

"Not really."

Kevin: "The most important thing for the revolutionary army is thought, not strength. Thought can bring people unprecedented power, but those who only have strength but no thought are not true warriors."

The warrior's eyes remained firm: "Then I dare to ask you, sir, how can we have the same ideas as the revolutionary army?"

Kevin replied: "Liberating Wano Country is not just about driving away the pirates. What we want to liberate is the minds of all the people in Wano Country. If you are interested, there will be five places for lectures and teaching in each region of Wano Country in a week."

One hundred and twenty-two and the warrior who was kneeling on one knee stood up, bowed and said they would go to the class.

There was only one little girl who was still blinking her big eyes and staring at Kevin.

When the people of Wano Country saw this, they remembered her and began to reveal her identity. Most of them demanded that she be killed just because she was Kaido's daughter.

But Kevin walked up to Yamato, reached out his hand, rubbed her little head, and pinched the corners.

Yes, it's true.

It seems that Kaido is also a special race.

"Everyone!"

Kevin looked at the people of Wano Country and said, "I want to ask, have any of you seen her kill your relatives, or bully you in the mines and weapons factories?"

After the words were spoken, the crowd whispered, but no one stood up to answer.

After a while, Kevin continued, "If she is evil just because of her bloodline, then isn't it a joke that there is no distinction between noble and humble lives?"

"In the eyes of the revolutionary army, she is just a child. A child who has never bullied ordinary people, a child like any other child."

There is no distinction between noble and inferior lives. There may be differences in strength and weakness, but there is absolutely no inherent nobility or inferiority. This is the basic concept of the revolutionary army.

Everyone fell silent.

Kevin reached out and rubbed Yamato's head again: "If you don't have food these days, come to the Daimyofu in Jiuli to find me. If you want to join the revolutionary army, you must truly understand the ideology of the revolutionary army. If you can become a revolutionary fighter, I will wait for you to become my companion."

After saying that, Kevin withdrew his hand, and led the team away with Big Bear, Dragon and a group of captains.

These urns need to be transported back to the revolutionary army headquarters. In addition, there are three special guys waiting for him in the Daming Mansion in Jiuli.

Yamato is just an episode. Anyway, the Revolutionary Army now has ten-year-old Robin, two-year-old Nami, and three-year-old Ace.

One more, one less, the future would have been changed beyond recognition.

Yamato, who was killed by being patted on the head twice, now had his eyes shining as he watched Kevin's leaving back. It was the look of a fan seeing his idol.

She even ignored the complicated looks from the people around her.

As for her father Kaido, she had long forgotten him.

……

Bai Wu, Daming Mansion.

"My lord, Lord Oden said that Kuri has an emergency, so he must return as soon as possible."

After one of his subordinates reported, Shimotsuki Yasuie frowned and asked him to leave.

Bao Goro on the side just chuckled and drank his tea.

Obviously, his guess was correct. Lord Oden had no intention of continuing to serve as the shogun and managing the entire Wano Country.

Today's ceremony, which started in the early morning and lasted until the afternoon, also allowed him to truly experience the power of the revolutionary army's ideology.

The firm will generated by such a majestic aura is enough to awaken the power of dominance in an ordinary person.

If we implement spiritual will through actions, even ordinary people can become strong people. This is by no means a fantasy.

"Mr. Kang, do we still want to persist?"

The one who spoke was the daimyo of Suzuko: Shimotsuki Gyumaru.

As for the head of the family, Shimotsuki Yasuie rubbed his forehead, his eyes still firm: "What I saw today is the aggressiveness of their thoughts. If nothing is done, then within a few years, Wano Country will become a country of revolutionary forces, and everyone will be like you and I saw today, desperate for the so-called revolution."

Bao Goro took a sip of tea and said, "So why are you opposing it? If it weren't for these desperate people this time, Wano Country would have completely become a ruin for pirates to vent their anger! Judging from my own experience, I don't think we should fight against them..."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Baogoro to stop.

"In any case, the reform of ideological education was agreed upon before the war. And we currently do not have the power to go back on our word, and Lord Oden will not allow it."

Shimotsuki Yasuie raised his head: "It is impossible to regret now, and the only weapon that can fight against thoughts is thoughts. The spirit of the samurai, the idea that the ministers of Wano country entrust their lives to the monarch, has been passed down for hundreds of years! This is our advantage."

"boom."

The teacup knocked against the table.

Bao Wulang stood up and said, "I will take my leave first."

However, before he could walk out, Shimotsuki Yasuie also stood up behind him, his eyes bloodshot and he said: "Hana no Leopard Goro, don't forget the oath that Wano Country has always respected Kozuki as the general! You are also a samurai, have you forgotten the spirit of being a samurai?"

Hana no Leopard Goro turned around and looked at Shimotsuki Yasuie.

Then a calm voice sounded: "I was just a gangster in Flower City at first. Because of my morality and strength, I became the big brother of the underworld in Wano Country."

"That is why I know that if the common people of Wano Country are led by an incompetent and foolish lord, a natural disaster will make their lives difficult and impossible."

"I have known Lord Oden for many years, and I trust Lord Oden, but what about the future? Entrusting the lives of millions of people in a country to the wisdom and stupidity of one person, this is a choice that does not require a choice."

"I can't change the past, and I don't know how to change it for the better. But now, I think the path pointed by the revolutionary army will be a blessing to all ordinary people."

"Farewell!"

Hana no Leopard Goro turned and left.

And Shimotsuki Yasuie clenched his fists and stared at his back.

The attitudes of the daimyo and the gangsters in Hana no Toshi are different in terms of their origins.

The nobles and the common people are naturally in opposition.

At first, he thought that Baogoro had been famous for many years and was also a member of the upper class in Wano Country. He could share the same stance with them if their interests were common.

But now it seems that the other party still has not forgotten his former life and position at the bottom of society.

"We can't do anything to him at this time. If he tells the Revolutionary Army..."

"He will not."

Shimotsuki Yasuie sat down again: "He is the underworld boss of the Flower Capital, but he is also a subject of the Kozuki clan. He will not agree, but he will not hinder it either."

"Let our people take action. In a week, the war of ideas will begin."

……

Date Port in Kuri.

The same ten large brigs, with more than two thousand revolutionary soldiers and four hundred and eighty-five boxes containing ashes, boarded the ships.

There are 800 people left in Wano Country, and the rest have other tasks.

This time, Dragon and Kuma will leave together, and after arriving, they will need to transport a group of revolutionary army instructors to carry out ideological education classes in Wano Country.

The floating power of the chicken spell was also used to make the boat float in the air, and Uncle Xiong patted them one by one to make them fly high in the sky.

The 800 people who stayed behind would form teams and serve as guards for their mentors to give speeches and classes in various areas of Wano Country.

Looking at the ships breaking through the sky, Oden, who was standing next to Kevin, had a look of longing in his eyes.

He also wanted to leave. After all, it had been five years and this country was too boring for his restless heart.

"You can't run away now. If you disappear, those samurai might think we killed you in an attempt to control Wano Country."

Rayleigh reached out and tapped Oden on the shoulder.

On the other side, Roger was begging Kevin: "Sir, I haven't seen Ace for many, many days. Please let me go back. I'm useless here!"

"I have to go back and keep an eye on him. That old bastard Garp actually wants to trick Ace into joining the navy. How can I tolerate this? I must go back as soon as possible to teach Ace to become a pirate, preferably the kind that chases after Garp and fights him!"

Kevin sighed helplessly: "Your resentment is deep enough."

Roger was sent back to Windmill Village by Flying Thunder God, while Rayleigh stayed and wanted to drink with Oden for a few days.

Apparently, the reason Roger ran away was because he couldn't drink and could only watch with envy.
