“Revolutionary Army?”

Kaz froze and frowned. “They won’t agree. After all, we are still under the World Government. We can’t cooperate.”

“Not necessarily…”

Crowe adjusted his glasses and said, “Dorag came to the Country of Peace to find Mr. Kuro and ask about justice. I don’t know how much he knows, but he must know something.”

Wilbur nodded and said: “I have studied the route of the Revolutionary Army. Although Mr. Kuro also talked about the essence of the Revolutionary Army in the grass outline, I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Compared to us, the Revolutionary Army…”

“What?” Lowe looked over.

He had come into contact with the Revolutionary Army back then. If it weren’t for Kuro, he should have cooperated with the Revolutionary Army. At that time, he thought that the Revolutionary Army would help him kill his family’s ancestor, and as a price, he would hand over the Country of Insects to the Revolutionary Army.

“They are more idealized, or… naive. Because of the deep-rooted law of bloodline, they don’t have the concept of complete overthrow. They only have the hope of a king who has morals and cares about the people. Of course, there are actually many such kings in the sea. The former king of Dressrosa, no matter how well he did, does care about the people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been forced to abdicate by Doflamingo.”

Wilbur said in a deep voice: “But it is also this kind of naivety that causes a lot of hidden dangers. Dorag founded the Revolutionary Army for more than 20 years and overthrew many countries. In the beginning, those overthrown countries indeed chose good kings, but with their death and the succession of the new king, everything came back. What the Revolutionary Army governs is only on the surface. Some kings were good in the beginning, but as time passed, they gradually became the same as the overthrown kings in the past.”

“At the end of the day, the goal of the Revolutionary Army is only the specific target of tenryubito, not the class represented by tenryubito. The goal is very idealized from the beginning. It can’t be seen in a short time, but it will cause disadvantages over time. Moreover, not all nobles are as close to the people as the Revolutionary Army thinks. They may be pretending. If the Revolutionary Army doesn’t recognize this fact, they will suffer a big loss sooner or later.”

“But this doesn’t mean that we can’t fight for it. We can fight for Pirate, but it’s naturally better than the Revolutionary Army, who wants to stand on the side of the civilians. Dorag’s last visit was an opportunity. Maybe… we can contact them.”

In the first half of the Grand Line, there is a country called ‘Yamogan’.

This country only has one big island, some villages, a few towns, and a royal city. The climate is good, the soil is rich, and the villages and towns are all standard small buildings.

This is the common country on the sea.

“Captain, Captain!”

In a small town in this country, a man ran into a small house in a panic. There were a few people sitting in the small house, observing a map, and the leader was a domineering-looking woman wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette.

She was wearing a red high hat with long tassels on the back and short purple hair under the hat.

Bello Betty.

The Revolutionary Army’s “East Army” Army Commander is also one of the important cadres of the Revolutionary Army. Under the circumstances where the Chief of Staff and other Army Commanders have been claimed to have been killed by the World Government, he is the only remaining Army Commander.

She was wearing a red long-sleeved waistcoat, a tie and leather gloves around her neck, a long-tailed dress, and red boots on her legs. But unlike before, she was wearing clothes inside the waistcoat, and she was wrapped in a layer of chest cloth.

Smoke came out of her mouth and Betty looked up at the person. “Huh? What’s wrong?”

The man panted and pointed outside the door. “Reppa, who promised us, suddenly rebelled and came with an army!”

“What?!”

Betty stood up and the cigarette in her mouth almost fell out. She said in shock, “What happened? Didn’t we agree!”

“No, I’m not sure…”

Betty bit her cigarette and her face was gloomy. “Damn it, we can’t stay in this place anymore. Break out and gather everyone to prepare for battle!”

“Yes!”

The person in the room responded and quickly ran out.

After everyone left, Betty sat down again and took out a book from the inside of the waistcoat. She stared at the book for a long time with a complicated expression.

There were four big words on the cover of the book—Justice Faith.

Since the last time she met Kaz and got a copy of Just Faith from him, she had naturally read it. After all, she also wanted to know where the power of the bearded man with such a will could even infect others.

After reading the content, she could only say that the book was quite good.

With Betty’s revolutionary experience, she can see a lot of potential content in the book. This book teaches the people how to do things that are in line with justice. In the face of oppression, they should resist and give it a mission. It is indeed a good book.

But in this case, the Revolutionary Army is also doing it, but this book is more complete. They are doing it internally, and this book seems to want everyone to do it.

Then …

‘Just try it.’

As the commander of the Revolutionary Army’s ‘East Army’, in the current situation where other people of the Three Armies and Sabo are claimed to have been killed by the World Government, but their bodies are not seen and there is no publicity, it must be tacitly agreed that they are missing. Although Betty does not believe that they are gone, in the current situation, she is indeed the only one who can lead after Dorag.

So she took the opportunity of the mission to come to ‘Yamogan’, wanting to practice here.

She did not tell Dorag about this book. She wanted to try the effect herself before deciding whether to tell Dorag.

After all, this is a product of the Marine Corps, which is different from the Revolutionary Army.

The country of Amogen is a common example of the sea. They also have kings, nobles, and businesses, landlords, and factories led by them. They are squeezing the people. The heavy tax is also on them, but because of the rich environment, they cannot starve.

The daily bread and fruits are definitely sufficient. Occasionally, you can eat meat and store it in Bailey, although it is not much.

After a year, some of these Berries may be collected by taxation, but they can still save money.

Being able to eat and save money is the norm for most people in the sea.

If it weren’t for the fact that the taxes in this country had started to get heavier recently, Betty wouldn’t have come here.

Although there is an opportunity, according to past experience, it will take at least three years to overthrow this country.

And this time Betty used Just Faith.

The Revolutionary Army itself takes the civilian route. While helping civilians fight against pirates and heavy taxes, it also transmits the contents of “Justice Faith” to those people.

As for the effect, it was very good.

Those people began to consciously fight against injustice and no longer needed the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Under this trend, their original plan of three years or more was almost achieved in a year.

Next, there should be a noble who has a good reputation and is determined to change the country.

They chose a noble with a good reputation in this country called Reppa. Betty also told the noble about the contents of the faith of justice. Originally, the noble was excited after hearing it and it should be stable.

However, what does he mean by bringing an army here now!
