Chapter 177 Baldigo's Summary Report
As I recall, the three brothers from Windmill Village initially dreamed of going out to sea and becoming free people.

Ace inherited Roger's will to some extent. After going to sea at the age of seventeen, he became a supernova of that year and was recognized as Roger's son when he challenged Whitebeard.

Now, he probably won't go out to sea as a pirate anymore. This is also due to Roger's influence, so this guy who knows the truth about the world should think that the Revolutionary Army can succeed.

"boom."

At this time, Roger flashed behind Ace and punched him.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Who?"

Ace covered his head and turned around, then he saw his father wearing a mask, and immediately realized that today's runaway trip was over.

"You brought your sister and brother to such a far place, and you still don't go home at night. Do you think you are doing nothing wrong?"

Luffy, who was standing by, saw his sworn brother being beaten, so he jumped behind Roger and started biting him.

However, before he could bite it, Roger twisted his hand and held him in front of him: "Are you the grandson of the Garp family?"

Little Luffy waved his arms fiercely, but he couldn't reach the opponent: "Damned masked demon, I will defeat you!"

"Snapped."

Roger raised his hand and hit him: "What masked devil? You want to call me...well, call me ancestor!"

The stubborn Luffy didn't care and continued swinging his fists, still calling the masked devil.

"Snapped."

"Call Ancestor!"

"No! I'm going to defeat you, masked demon!"

"Snapped."

"Call me ancestor."

……

The little Luffy who was fighting desperately was covered in blood, but he still called out to the masked demon firmly.

Ace, who was standing by, saw his younger brother being captured by his father. He rushed forward several times but was kicked back every time. Even Sabo wanted to take action but was stopped by little Nami.

"It's useless. This has happened many times. Every time Luffy refuses to admit defeat. But it won't be a problem. Uncle knows his limits."

Little Nami said and sighed.

She felt that her newly sworn brother was a little stupid. Didn't he just call her ancestor? Every time he was beaten so badly, he just refused to give in.

Soon, Roger showed some appreciation in his eyes under the mask, and directly carried Luffy, who was in half-pig head form, on his shoulders.

"One day, sooner or later, I will make you call me ancestor willingly."

"No! You're the big, big, big devil of a mask!"

Little Luffy was still tenacious, but he turned his head and fainted as soon as he finished speaking.

Ace put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, "I'll tell mom when I get home that you knocked Luffy out again. And Aunt Bell-mère, just wait!"

Roger patted his son on the shoulder when he heard this: "His grandfather Garp wants to be my elder, but he won't allow me to be the ancestor of their Monkey family? Humph!"

As he spoke, Roger remembered the reason why the three little ghosts ran away from home this time, and then he smiled and patted Ace again: "You did a good job this time. If someone humiliates your relatives in the future, you should rush up and beat him up like this!"

Ace glanced at the unreliable father and said, "Need I say that? But my mother will definitely be angry when I go back."

Roger glanced at Kevin who was still in the dark, thought for a moment, and then picked up little Nami with his other hand: "Say goodbye to your friends. We've been out all day, it's time to go home."

Ace clenched his fists and said, "We are not friends. Sabo is our brother. We just became sworn brothers. We have already drunk the wine of brotherhood. And Nami, we are brothers now."

This reminded Roger of his own childhood, and thinking of Kevin who didn't show up, he took a close look at Sabo.

"Yes. Then say goodbye to your brother. We need to go back quickly, otherwise Lu Jiu and Bell-mère will be worried."

The little Luffy who had fallen asleep was blowing snot bubbles. Ace and Nami said goodbye to Sabo, and Sabo waved blankly.

However, when Roger was about to leave with them, Sabo chased after them and bowed deeply to Roger.

"First...uncle."

After hesitating for a while, Sabo decided to call him uncle: "Because I heard from Ace that you understand the ideas of the Revolutionary Army very well, so I would like to ask you to introduce me to the Revolutionary Army!"

Roger looked at the toothless kid in front of him. He was wearing aristocratic formal attire, but he obviously didn't care about etiquette or image.

Nobles of the Kingdom of Goa?
"Kid, you should be one year younger than Ace, right? At your age, do you really understand what the Revolutionary Army represents?"

Sabo said firmly, "I know! Although I learned this from you because of Ace, I know very well that it is also my dream!"

The next moment, a sense of dominance permeated the place.

In an instant, the uncle who seemed quite kind seemed like a wild beast, and his aura made Sabo couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Kid, that will lead to death. Do you know what death is? Once a person dies, they lose everything. What the Revolutionary Army is doing will cause people to lose their lives!"

After he finished speaking, Sabo, who was oppressed by the domineering aura, stood up straight while panting.

Little Nami, who was carried on Roger's shoulders, pulled his ears behind the mask, while Ace, who was following behind him, secretly pulled at Roger's pants.

No response, keep pulling.

Sabo was scared when adults bullied children.

After pulling it several times, Roger's arrogance froze and he had to reach out to pull up his pants.

"Snapped."

After giving Ace a slap, Roger glared at him and said, "It will fall off if you pull it again!"

Ace scratched his head and smirked.

After sighing helplessly, Roger said: "Only if you are not afraid of death can you truly become a member of the revolutionary army. If you are ready, then you will naturally be one."

After saying something irrelevant, Roger took the three little ghosts and left. On the way, he had to ask Ace to show up, otherwise the enthusiastic villagers of Windmill Village would probably have to continue looking for him.

The village where Garp exists is in a different state than Whitebeard Newgate's hometown. Perhaps this is also the result of Garp's choice.

So, after Ace and little Nami waved to him, Sabo was still thinking about Roger's words.

Already?

But myself...

"He's right."

A voice interrupted Sabo's thoughts. He turned around and found a very handsome man sitting by the campfire, using a stick to pick up firewood, making this secret base brighter.

"Who are you?!"

Sabo moved slowly, placed his hand on the iron water pipe he was leaning against, and looked warily at the stranger in front of him.

Kevin put down the stick and said, "Weren't you just asking Ace's father about me? Revolutionary Army, codename Spark, you can also call me Sir."

"Well... we met once a few years ago. That time, little Nami was only one year old, and Ace secretly brought her out to show off to you. Don't you remember?"

Sir? Little Nami is one year old?
Seeing that Sabo was still wary and suspicious, Kevin remembered that his current appearance was without a mask.

So he took out a mask and put it on, then appeared directly behind Sabo.

He reached out and patted his shoulder, and the iron pipe suddenly swung towards him, and Kevin stepped back to avoid it.

"Yo? Good reflexes."

"Because he didn't want to be mistaken for me, Ace's father stopped wearing a cloak and changed his hairstyle and clothing. You can look at this wanted poster. The teleportation fruit has not been discovered yet, so combined with these, you should be able to confirm my identity."

Kevin said as he handed over a wanted poster. It was his wanted poster with a bounty of 3.2 billion Baileys.

In addition to life or death, there is also an explanation of Kevin's identity as a revolutionary soldier, as well as a brief introduction to his abilities.

"Revolutionary Army...Caped Man?"

Sabo's solemn expression gradually turned into one of joy, and then he thought of what Ace's father had just said.

When you are no longer afraid of life or death, then it is already the end.

So when I made the decision, this revolutionary soldier had already agreed to my joining?

Ace's father is so powerful and understands the ideas of the Revolutionary Army, so this Mr. Spark must have been with his uncle before.

"Do you understand?"

"First... sir, I want to join the Revolutionary Army!" Kevin took off his mask and smiled and shook his head slightly: "Not enough yet, you are far from the level of the Revolutionary Army's ideology now."

Sabo held the iron pipe tightly. "I am very strong, sir! Ordinary adults are no match for me, and I am not afraid of death! I am not afraid of death!"

Hearing this, Kevin waved his hand and motioned for him to sit over.

"Whether you are afraid of death or not is not something you can be sure of just by saying it. Because... you may not have actually seen death."

"Besides, you haven't formed the idea of ​​the Revolutionary Army yet, right? Just Ace's retelling cannot make you truly understand the significance of the Revolutionary Army."

Sabo walked up and sat opposite Kevin, looking at him sincerely and asked, "Sir, how can we become a revolutionary?"

Kevin replied: "If you have decided, then I will send you to the assessment point of the Revolutionary Army. After your thoughts pass the assessment, you will be a member of the Revolutionary Army."

Sabo nodded quickly: "I can."

"Do not worry."

Kevin looked at Sabo and said, "In fact, I need to tell you that the Revolutionary Army is not free to some extent."

free……

In the past, this word was exactly the reason why he hated his origin.

But what is the reason for this? Is it just because of the various cumbersome etiquette of being a noble, or is it the miserable situation of ordinary people in this waste terminal?
The guilt made him unwilling to admit his noble identity. When his character was formed, he was not distorted by his family. Instead, he urgently wanted to escape.

"In fact, I have always believed that there should be no absolute freedom in this world. What is absolute freedom? Do you think those pirates who burn, kill and plunder are free?"

Sabo didn't know how to answer, because in the past he did think that Pirate King Roger, the man considered by the world to be the freest, represented freedom.

"Child, in the future planned by the Revolutionary Army, pirates are not allowed to exist. We want everyone to have relative freedom, or to be able to live easily."

"Freedom and order are opposites in nature."

Kevin looked at Sabo and said, "That's why I said just now that you haven't really found your own will, because you don't know what you want, or what you want to bring to this world."

At this moment, Sabo has calmed down and no longer clamors to join the Revolutionary Army like he did just now.

All along, he had only been hoping for the dream that Ace had mentioned.

But he had no idea about what to do to realize the dreams that Ace talked about, and what kind of willpower was needed to make the choices in the process.

Before this, everyone just wanted to join the revolutionary army.

"Sir... I know pirates are very bad, but you may not know that I am actually..."

"Actually, they are nobles of the Goa Kingdom, right?"

Kevin smiled and said, "The Kingdom of Goa is one of the member states of the World Government. Have you seen the Goa Kingdom Guards, or the darkness of the East China Sea Navy Branch?"

Sabo remained silent, but he really hated that feeling, the feeling of being high above and looking down on all life.

"That's why I said that you don't know what you should do, or what you need to do for this world and for those who come after you join the Revolutionary Army."

Kevin stood up and said, "You want to go to sea only because you want to escape the restraint brought by your bloodline. Escape, not change."

"Sabo, go study."

Sabo raised his head: "Sir..."

Kevin put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Leave here for a while, let your mind be liberated, and think clearly about what kind of future you want to see. Strengthen your will and then realize it."

……

After Kevin took Sabo away from the East China Sea, he handed him over to the Revolutionary Army training camp.

The location of this base will change after each batch of students graduates, but Kevin's spatial coordinates will always be included.

The next day, Kevin took him on a tour, and especially after listening to an ideological education class, his sudden enlightenment made him unable to stop.

After giving Kevin a letter to pass on to Ace, Luffy and Nami, Sabo decided to stay.

After that, Kevin went to Baldigo.

As for Saab, his talent is unquestionable.

But the more important reason for this sudden idea of ​​bringing him into the revolutionary army was his bloodline. Nothing could deny the meanness of the hereditary system better than a noble of a member country.

Just like Kozuki Oden of Wano Country, this is also the reason why Oden had to promise to abolish the hereditary system of aristocrats in the future before liberating Wano Country.

The liberation of thought combined with its own negation can minimize unnecessary casualties.

Of course, in comparison, the Kingdom of Goa is much simpler than the Kingdom of Wano if everything goes well.

……

In the simple room, Dragon was answering a call on Den Den Mushi. On the desk in front of him, at least dozens of Den Den Mushi were neatly arranged.

Basically, his day's work now is to compile the intelligence of these Den Den Mushi and then convey the guidance from headquarters.

"The first half of Line 13? I remember his relatives have been relocated, right? We need to ensure their future lives. If we can convince them, we can let them go to the second half of the fully controlled area."

"When reporting on the victims, we must pay attention to the emotions of the family members. The orphans left behind need treatment? Why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Let Xiong take the child to the resettlement site for the survivors of Freifans. I know it will take some time for the blockade to be lifted there, but rules are fixed, but people can be flexible!"

"Notify them that if you have an illness or disability that cannot be cured by ordinary doctors, you can apply to go to the Freifans settlement, but you need to undergo a security check before going there, and you will need to stay there until the settlement is moved or cancelled."

"Snapped."

The Den Den Mushi hung up, and just as Dragon was about to look up and ask Kevin what was going on, the Den Den Mushi on the table started ringing again.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Click."

After answering the call, Dragon frowned, "Agents of the World Government seem to be gathering in the East China Sea? Ginny, the East China Sea has always been called the weakest sea because it is Garp's hometown and for various other reasons."

"In this case, the only possibility is that they discovered something in the East China Sea. We can let our people follow them appropriately, but if anything unexpected happens, we can evacuate at any time."

"Don't be careless!"

"It is true that the world government has taken much less action against us recently, which may be related to everyone's caution, but this does not mean that we can relax."

"Okay, report back anytime if there's anything else."

Finally, after more than an hour, Dorag's communication had a short break.

Currently, the Revolutionary Army is developing secretly in the four seas of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest led by army captains, and is also engaged in world trade to obtain funds.

In the New World in the second half of the Grand Line, the First Division of the Revolutionary Army, disguised as the Beasts Pirates, is in action.

Among them, there are many small places that are connected through single lines.

The Den Den Mushi on the desktop are all anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi developed by the Vegapunk Research Institute to prevent the location of Baldigo's headquarters from being discovered by the World Government.

"I'm sorry, sir, what's the matter with your sudden appearance?"

Dorag rubbed his forehead.

Kevin didn't waste any words, but directly stated several results on his side.

The first point is about Vegapunk's request. The giant mechanical soldier has not yet been transported to Punk Hazard, but Borsalino has been developed into one of our own and is keeping an eye on it and notifying us at any time.

The second point is to inform about the prophecy of Fishman Island.

Third point…

Before the third point even started, he was interrupted by Dorag.

"A prophecy from a mermaid on Fishman Island? Would you believe in such a thing, sir?"

Kevin replied: "In our minds, we always believe that man can conquer nature, so we naturally think that prophecy is nonsense. But for the mermaid who can predict, in fact, all the predictions he made in the past have come true."

Dorag's brows furrowed more and more. "So what are you trying to say, sir? Is it that everything we do now is meaningless? The world will sink to the bottom of the sea and everyone will die?"

"Do not."

Kevin replied: "Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant. The prophecy is just a fragment. How this fragment will be formed and what kind of changes will happen later all depend on ourselves."

"But in this case, Fishman Island is of great significance. That's why I chose to cooperate with Whitebeard and fought with him."
