55: Chapter 55: The revolutionary army and the revolution, the plan is set!"Who are the revolutionary army's enemies?What is its revolutionary program?Is it really meaningful to simply provoke disputes and uprisings between countries?If we only help the people rebel, but fail to establish a sound social system and legal system after overthrowing the existing regime, will we repeat the same mistakes?"
Luffy asked these questions when he met Dragon in Rogue Town.
Dragon took a deep breath and replied, "For the first question, I believe that the current enemies of our revolutionary army are the evil people in each country who attempt to drag their country into the abyss.The ultimate enemy in the future will be the World Government."
Luffy shook his head after hearing this."That's not all, Mr.Dragon.The enemies of the Revolutionary Army right now are evil people who are reactionary, against justice, and against peace.It has nothing to do with identity, but with behavior.As long as you do evil, you will be the enemy of the Revolutionary Army.
This will help the revolutionary army win over the people at this stage.When the people are in favor, the revolutionary army will respond with unanimous support.The revolutionary army has already started to do this in a planned manner, and it will be good to continue.
The future enemy isn't solely the World Government; that's overgeneralizing.The Revolutionary Army's future enemies should be aristocracy and the powerful ruling class.That's the Celestial Dragons, the people who hold supreme power in the World Government.
They are the root of all evil in this world.Therefore, when the revolution reaches a certain stage, the Navy and the World Government may not all be enemies, and those with insight among them will also raise the banner of resistance.
Dorag was startled.Now he wasn't sure his conclusion about the revolutionary program was completely correct."So, what do you think the revolutionary army's program is?"
Luffy said confidently: "I believe that the revolutionary program of the revolutionary army is a democratic revolutionary program against war and the aristocracy!
The specific content is: strive to eliminate civil strife in the world and unite all races.Promote the revolutionary ideals of peace, stability, equality, and development.Make equality the main theme of the world revolution.No one in the world, no race, is superior to others.We are all equal races living under the same sky!
Dorag suddenly stood in awe.There were some things, some paths that they had never imagined!
Luffy continued, "It would be meaningless for the Revolutionary Army to only stir up disputes and uprisings between countries.If they only help the people to revolt and overthrow the original regime without a sound social system and laws and regulations, then when the Revolutionary Army leaves, the countries they helped will repeat their mistakes.
What has happened will happen again; what has been done will be done again.Because the rule of a dark regime has made the original rulers of a country taste the sweetness of tyranny, those who come after them will still follow their predecessors and practice tyranny, and the cycle will continue, forever and ever.
Therefore, in order to avoid this problem as much as possible, we must provide the new regime with a path towards dawn and a bright future based on the original foundation.
Perfecting the social system and laws and regulations requires the people of this world to constantly explore and forge a unique path that belongs only to this world!"
Sabo was dumbfounded as he listened.Could it be that the Revolutionary Army's course of action has always been problematic?
Luffy took a sip of water and continued, "What do you think is true justice?The navy is not necessarily just, and pirates are not necessarily completely evil.
When we assess a person's moral character, we distinguish between "judging by the heart" and "judging by the deeds." Judging by the heart means judging a person's character based on their inner thoughts and their motivations; judging by the deeds means judging based on their actual actions and the results of their work.
Justice exists in the heart and is expressed in action.As long as it benefits the people and the development of the world, then isn't it justice?
The military originates from the people and serves the people.Coming from the people, we must return to the people.This is what I believe to be the essence of a soldier, and it is based on this view that I do not consider the navy to be a complete enemy.
The army does not serve the nobility, it serves the people.Now the lion of the navy has not yet awakened, so we must find a way to wake him up in the future."
"Honestly, Luffy.Your ideas are world-leading.If these ideas are carried forward, it will be the end of the world's aristocracy!" Dragon clapped silently after hearing this, and then continued to ask:
"But we live in this cannibalistic age.We can't achieve anything by relying solely on individual ideas and individual efforts.Although we have now reached a certain scale, it's still not enough!Do you have any insights?"
"We were born in the most evil era, and we will eventually raise the banner of rebellion against the hegemony of the Celestial Dragons from the ashes of the evildoers!The main themes of justice, peace, and development will resound throughout the world.
The world trend is vast and powerful.Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.
We need to move forward.There's no need to give up on ourselves or rush.We should do whatever we can.With a little heat, we can shine.A single spark can start a prairie fire, and a torch will eventually appear!We don't have to wait for the torch.If there is no torch now, each of us can become our own torch!
Mr.Dragon and Sabo said excitedly: "Great!Luffy, with your ideological help, the Revolutionary Army will surely reach a higher level!"
Luffy said modestly: "No need to thank me, I can't change the whole world by myself.Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we achieve success!"
"Then tell us about your plan in Alabasta!What help do you need from us?" Drago and Sabo looked at each other.
"First, the revolutionary army needs to incite the rebel army.Then, Mr.Dragon, you have to have a secret meeting with King Cobra and convince him." LuffyHe described his plan like this:
"Mr.Dragon also needs to use his fruit ability to blow up a certain degree of sandstorm to sweep across major cities to make the scene more spectacular!"
"Oh?A sandstorm?Although it will harm the people to a certain extent, necessary small sacrifices are still needed.Is it okay?" asked Mr.Dorag.
"Mr.Dragon, it is Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit that can blow up sandstorms.This is a well-known fact.What does it have to do with you?" Luffy chuckled.
"You're right!"
Dragon and Sabo's eyes lit up after hearing this.If this succeeds, Alabasta will become a milestone in the revolutionary journey!
Luffy: "It's not a particularly detailed plan, but it's enough to deal with this situation."
"Well, the revolutionary army captain Betty has already disguised herself and broken into the rebel headquarters!" Mr.Dragon said indifferently.It's just a sand crocodile.These actions are completely overkill.In fact, if Luffy directly starts a war, Crocodile will not be able to make any waves.
Luffy's eyes lit up: "As expected of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, you're so quick!Army Captain Betty: [Encouragement Fruit] ability user!"
"After all, I am the leader of the revolutionary army.It won't be difficult to seize this opportunity.Alright, without further ado, let's get started!"
Luffy walked out of the empty room and said to his friends, "Well, it's time for us to set off!"
