Chapter 259 World Live Broadcast: Cutting off the Roots of the Revolutionary Army
New world, Whitebeard Pirates.
There was silence on the deck of the Moby Dick.
"Oh!"
The Murakumoqi pestle made a dull sound when it hit the deck, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"He violated the moral principles of pirates and the rules of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Newgate stood up: "From today on, he will no longer be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, but the murderer of Thatch!"
"Dad!"
Marco came out with red eyes: "I... I want to avenge Thatch! That... that bastard! He actually attacked his own family just for a devil fruit. Thatch... he didn't have any defense at all!"
"Bang!"
Joz's hands collided like diamonds, veins popped out on his forehead, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"The delicious food that Thatch made... I can never eat it again! Bastard! Beast! I'll go with you, bring him back together, chop off his head and place it in front of Thatch's grave!"
For a moment, led by the two captains, members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the entire deck expressed their opinions angrily.
"That bastard who killed the captain! He must be punished by pirate law, he must!"
"Captain Thatch is such a good man... Teach is a beast, he has committed the most unforgivable crime!"
"kill him!"
"No matter where he escapes to, we must find him!"
"A bastard like this doesn't deserve to live in this world!"
"Captain Marco, we're with you!"
……
Amid the noise, Izang frowned.
Compared to the angry crowd, he thought more.
He witnessed the changes in his hometown, Wano Country, and also understood some of the core ideas of the Revolutionary Army.
At this point in time, the war between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army is about to begin. If Teach makes some moves, the Whitebeard Pirates will also be drawn into this vortex.
Of course, Sachi's revenge cannot be left unresolved, and the betrayer cannot be left unpunished.
"Dad!"
"Ok?"
Newgate looked at Izo, "Do you want to join Marco as well?"
Izo glanced at Marco, who had the best relationship with Thatch, and said, "If a pursuit team is formed, I want to be the captain."
Marco and Joz had no objection to requesting pursuit, as Joz knew very well that he was not as smart as he could be.
Marco was filled with rage and had no place to vent it. His clear mind was gone. As long as he could kill that bastard, he would do anything.
For a moment, everyone on the deck looked at their father.
At this time, Whitebeard remained silent.
As an old man who has been sailing on this sea for decades, he can handle many things relying on his own powerful strength, but this does not mean that he is stupid.
At this moment, he was very glad that the cloaked man did not directly state his purpose when he visited last time, otherwise this information would very likely become Teach's token of allegiance.
Yes... No one can sail on this sea calmly after killing the son of the strongest man in the world.
Knowing the power this name represents, Teach would not leave like this. In order to save his life, he must have his own follow-up plan.
And there are only two forces in this world that can protect him.
The Revolutionary Army and the World Government!
Only these two currently stand above the Four Emperors in this ocean.
If Teach knew that the Beasts Pirates were also a force of the Revolutionary Army, then using this as a token of his allegiance to gain the protection of the World Government and the Navy would be his only option.
But it was obvious... he still thought too simply about Teach's ambitions.
"We need to let Thatch rest in peace before we go back to the Sphinx and make Teach pay the price."
Suddenly, sobbing was heard on the deck.
Marco walked up to the corpse, knelt down, and placed his hand on the chest where the blood had dried.
"I will definitely bring back Tikki's head! I promise!"
……
An hour later, Whitebeard had been standing alone at the bow for more than an hour.
The sea breeze blew past, but it did not make him loosen his grip on Kusunokiri's hand.
"Dad."
"coming."
Newgate looked at Izo: "The time you returned to your hometown has made you grow a lot. Marco has been blinded by anger, but you saw what Teach would do next, right?"
Izang nodded and replied, "Are you ready, Dad?"
Prepare……
Whitebeard Newgate was silent for a moment.
"I am a remnant of the old times in this world. What that boy from the revolutionary army said was right. I just want to sail freely on this sea with my family."
"I want to ask you the same question... My sons, are you... ready?"
Izo raised his head slightly, his eyes full of determination: "Dad's choice is our choice, and it has always been like this. This world is about to usher in great changes. Lord Oden of Wano Country has been preparing for several years. No one can stay out of it."
Newgate looked toward the distant coastline.
"Yeah... no one can stay out of it."
The conversation between father and son ended here, but both of them had pointed out what the other was thinking.
Whitebeard has always been thinking about whether his sons would lose their lives if they were involved.
Even when he helped Kaido confront the navy, and even fought with Garp for three days and three nights, he did it with a pretext that the navy would break the balance.
But this time it's different.
Whitebeard knew some secrets because of Roger, and he had already guessed what the beam of light that fell from the sky during the battle represented.
As for Izo, his mind was gradually liberated because of the tremendous changes in Wano Country and the lessons taught by the Revolutionary Army in Wano Country.
They both knew that after betraying the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach had only one choice left, even if he himself might not know it.
The Revolutionary Army will not accept someone like him. He can only join the World Government to avoid the subsequent death.
This moment in time is so delicate.
……
It was also on this day that the video was finally released after the New Era newspaper disclosed the previous actions of the World Government.
At the entrances of naval branches around the world, a huge screen was playing the scene of the cloaked man talking with Saint Satan.
The man at the pinnacle of power promised the world aristocratic status, and the whole world knew what this status represented.
In the squares in front of the naval branches in various sea areas, when the words "power", "money" and "women" were mentioned, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Just like what one of the five elder stars said in the projection, everyone in this world has their own desires, big or small, be it money, power, beauty, or even family and kinship.
If one becomes a new Celestial Dragon, his descendants and the entire family with the same surname will become world nobles.
No one can resist such temptation.
"Will he agree?"
"That's the status of a world noble. With this status, everything in the world is at your fingertips!"
"Only a fool would disagree, right?"
"Even the high-ranking cloaked men of the Revolutionary Army cannot resist such temptation in the face of such conditions."
"I'm so damn envious!"
"Why not me? As a Celestial Dragon, what kind of women can't I have?"
"Woman? That's all you can do! That's the power that can dispatch the admirals of the navy, you idiot!"
"How can there be equality in this world? The idea of the Revolutionary Army... the person who finally came up with this idea became one of the Celestial Dragons?"
"Hahaha... Stupid woman! What are you thinking about? Equality? How can there be equality in this world?"
"The strong prey on the weak; this is the truth of this world!"
"Power represents everything. As long as you have enough power, you can be above all life and become a world aristocrat! You can do whatever you want!"
"Compared to that, those pirates are weak."
"But the New Times..."
"That thing is just a bargaining chip. How could the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army be just one cloaked man?"
A wise man expressed his opinion: "The cloaked man agreed to represent only him, and the other senior officials were dissatisfied and wanted more quotas for the Celestial Dragons. They are all birds of a feather, so there is no equality."
……
Under the projections of various Den Den Mushi on the sea, the voices of ordinary people talking could be heard one after another.
Obviously the goal of the world government has been achieved.
They don't believe that anyone can refuse such conditions because of the illusory equality and the preconceived notion of judging others by their own standards.
After all, what does the life and death of others and the so-called equality have to do with me? Compared with the power, status and position that are about to be obtained, it is nothing!
Naval branch of Roge Town, East China Sea.
In the shadows of the outer alley of the Execution Platform Square, Nibel and the other two looked at the projection and suppressed their emotions.
"How dare these bastards slander you like this?"
"He's just a celestial dragon, what's that?"
"How could our will be destroyed so easily?"
However, Booker on the side smiled and said, "The fact that they can think of the situation of uneven distribution of spoils shows that the New Era Newspaper has begun to show its effectiveness."
Nibel was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something deeper.
After three days of calm, the three of them were no longer as emotionally out of control as they were at the beginning, and began to think more deeply. Lecturer Booker said: "The original intention of the New Era Newspaper was not just to serve as a voice at home to fight against the World Economic Newspaper."
“We build trust by revealing the truth about major events around the world. But more importantly, we use stories and in-depth analysis to help people learn to think for themselves.”
Leon asked, "Is it something to be happy about even if someone doubts our position?"
Booker: "Set your mind right, Leon. We are not the world government, we are the revolutionary army. Our ideal is to completely change the world, and the concepts of order, equality, and freedom can only be maintained forever if people learn to question and resist."
Booker looked forward and said, "Now they... have begun to learn to question."
As soon as he finished speaking, Booker's look of relief suddenly changed.
"Is that so?"
The murmur made Nibel and the other two follow his gaze towards the projection screen.
【Thanks to the successful completion of the operation, a total of 359 grassroots members of the Revolutionary Army have been arrested so far.】
[Yes, only the grassroots members are the ones who are most easily deceived, and they are also the ones who can never turn back. ]
【They were betrayed. But this does not mean that their serious crimes can be forgiven. 】
Figures passed by on the screen.
Everyone was wearing a hood, but they could still hear low sobbing.
Outside the perspective of the Den Den Mushi, there were even sounds of begging and crying. They were not very clear, but they could be heard clearly.
[Forgive me... Please...]
[I am just an ordinary fisherman from a village in Beihai. My name is Amu, you can check it out... I was just bewitched, I don’t want to be their bargaining chip for exchanging power...]
[My wife and son are still waiting for me to come home. I have been bewitched. Please, please forgive me...]
The crying gradually became more and more chaotic, and at the same time, it also silenced everyone in the world who was watching the projection.
Yes, under the subtle influence of the New Era, they learned to think, and now began to doubt the nature of the revolutionary army from the bottom of their hearts.
Combined with the conversation they had seen before, it seems that one can already imagine that the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army are trading lower-level members in exchange for the conditions of becoming Celestial Dragons.
As for the Five Elders star with only a head left in the New Era Newspaper, he has been automatically filtered out at this time.
Because on the projection, one of the Five Elder Stars named Saint Satan appeared again and personally told what would happen to these arrested members of the Revolutionary Army.
Public execution!
A man with only his head left was called immortal by the revolutionary army and lived from eight hundred years ago to the present. How was this possible?
For ordinary people who have limited access to information, they are more willing to believe what they think is right.
He's a Celestial Dragon...how could he possibly refuse?
How could such a power exist? Can one live with only one head left?
More than 300 people were publicly executed and more than 300 lives were given to the World Government in exchange for the opportunity to become a Celestial Dragon.
This is a perfect deal for the cloaked man, isn't it?
……
Everyone in the square was silent. They imagined what decision the cloaked man would make based on their own situation.
In the end, they felt sympathy for the members of the Revolutionary Army who were about to be publicly executed, and their attitude towards the Revolutionary Army changed several times.
It took less than an hour to go from initial admiration to suspicion and finally to contempt.
[We will execute these extremely evil people in a month, and the execution location will be the Navy Headquarters: Marinford. ]
[One month later, Marinford will also begin to videotape Den Den Mushi. The execution process will also be announced to the world.]
Saint Satan’s voice fell, and the entire broadcast projection ended.
But no one in the square of Donghai Luoge Town was willing to leave, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
The emergence of the New Era newspaper has revealed a deeper side of the world to the world. The story of General Black Arm makes them sigh, and the story of the fishman hero Field makes them admire.
The reasons behind the tragic fates of countries and towns on the sea made them empathize with themselves and began to admire those people who risked their lives to change the world.
But now... this group of people seems to be no different from the World Government, the pirates, and those rubbish navy reports in the New Era News!
Perhaps in the past they had not thought that the revolutionary army would ultimately win, but after a hard day's work and after paying heavy taxes and heavenly gold, they would also fantasize about possible future scenes.
Now that fantasy is shattered.
Yes... Just like what the big man with the highest power said, everyone in this world has desires.
How could we imagine that there is such a strong person who would risk his life for a group of people like them whose lives are as humble as ants?
……
The weight of the world shifted again at this moment.
……
Marie Gioia, Between the Powers.
After turning off the Den Den Mushi on the table, Satan Saint raised his head slightly and looked at the other people.
"This... is the first half of my plan."
Saint Vochuli's eyes narrowed slightly. "The reason why the execution was delayed until a month later was to force that person to come, right?"
Saint Satan nodded and replied: "What makes the members of the revolutionary army so fearless and willing to sacrifice their lives is their firm beliefs. We cannot change their hearts now."
"But the shift in power lies in this world. The power acquisition constructed by those people was originally like this, and the revolutionary army will have no choice."
Nasu Juro Sei on the side questioned: "Will such reports not shake the will of the revolutionary army?"
Satan Saint shook his head slightly: "During the arrest operation of the CP organization, it can be basically confirmed that all members of the Revolutionary Army have awakened the power of domineering. Such a group of ordinary people can still reach this level, which is enough to show their inner determination."
Having said this, Satan paused.
"The Cloaked Man's power has reached a level that is enough to threaten you and me. The exact power he has awakened is still unknown."
"The ability of the devil fruit is originally the most urgent and desired fantasy in the heart, and it comes from the power of another dimension."
"The one who created the omnipotent god may also possess the power of the name of God. Then both the Awakener of Will and the Cloaked Man are existences that cannot be left alone."
Saint Satan stood up and looked out the window.
"I will use the power of my authority this time. If I am lucky enough to continue working with you in the future, I hope to gain Lord Im's forgiveness next time."
……
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
Zhan Guo, who had just finished watching a live broadcast, was already in a state of confusion.
After the phone call with the revolutionary army, he thought about how to prepare next, or how to make himself the last guarantee for ordinary people even if he failed.
But what he didn't expect was that the struggle between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government would proceed so quickly and directly involve the Navy.
Using the identity of the Celestial Dragon as bait, coupled with the reappearance of Saint Satan, the projection is broadcast to the entire world.
The content presented is simply an attempt to dig out the roots of the revolutionary army!
He could imagine that the top leaders of the revolutionary army must be in a very anxious situation at the moment, and if they rescued them, they would fall into a trap, and if they did not rescue them...
Then the whole world will no longer trust the revolutionary army, let alone believe in the revolutionary army’s ideas.
"Dong dong dong."
"come in."
Zhan Guo's voice was somewhat weak. He looked at He who had closed the door and said, "The execution site has been set at Marinford. We have been dragged into this war."
Crane sighed, "The navy is unavoidable no matter what, you and I both know this. And the World Government also has another intention, to expose the revolutionary army lurking in the navy."
"The Bait Plan... the name is really appropriate. With more than 300 baits and the core ideas of the Revolutionary Army, they have no choice."
Zhan Guo raised his head slightly: "So it's time for us to make a choice?"
Crane replied, "Be prepared. The power of this world is beginning to change dramatically, and the navy will inevitably be a part of it, and an important part at that."
"It is up to you, the Marshal, to decide our stance. We are firm in our inner justice, but we also understand that the World Government is unrivaled."
After thinking for a long time, Zhan Guo found a file and handed it to He.
"This is what I got after talking to that person. It was placed in the cafeteria of the headquarters before you returned to Marinford."
He took the file and started looking through it.
What is recorded in it are tragic fates.
Four seas, great routes...
Every life with a name and a surname has been in this hellish world since birth, living tenaciously like ants under a fate worse than death.
But no matter how hard they try, a random kick can cause them to lose their lives, their loved ones, and everything they care about.
Among them, Bartholomew Kuma, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army, and the man codenamed Cloak Man are also on the list.
The cloaked man, who is now the talk of the world and the center of public opinion, lost everything at the age of one.
Even if Bartholomew Bear and Ginny had not been slaves at the time, they might have died on that non-existent island... the Valley of the Gods.
The island destroyed by the Demon Killing Order, the Tree of Omniscience, and the archaeologist Dr. Clover: Krau D. Kloba.
The reason why this long-dead man has been pursuing the truth of history is because he once faced the darkness of this world.
A person was executed for no reason just because of his name.
His brother was executed in front of him after it was discovered that he was hiding his name as D, but he was spared because he lied that he was just a companion.
Afterwards, the World Government began to monitor it, and later discovered the existence of O'Hara scholars and learned that they had been studying taboos for a hundred years.
Then, O'Hara was destroyed in the Demon Killing Order.
He's brows furrowed more and more as he flipped through the pages of the file in his hand.
The East Sea Taikira Wolf, this so-called country on the bridge is composed of non-member countries and people who resist the World Government. There are countless archives with clear records.
He was executed because of his name, became a slave to build a bridge because of his birth, and finally died in the labor...
How can such a world not be dark?
Freifans, the once prosperous white town, is now in ruins.
The archive records those three months of hell.
