Chapter 108: Who Is To Be Won Over And Who Is To Be Suppressed?

[In the prison of Flevance, Kizaru, Akainu and other Marine Vice Admirals are being held here. ]

[Their hands are wearing seastone handcuffs, which are of such purity that they can make a person with abilities feel weak. ]

[And there are Naguri and others who are taking turns to guard, just to prevent these powerful people at the Vice Admiral level of the headquarters from escaping. ]

[Especially for strong men like Kizaru and Akainu, even if they are wearing seastone handcuffs, they cannot be underestimated, they are still full of threats. ]

[The sound of footsteps was heard in the passage of the prison. Kizaru and the others looked up and saw a young man. Although his clothes were simple, he had an extraordinary bearing. Just looking at him gave people a feeling of magnanimity. ]

[Behind the boy stood Fujitora and Dragon, one on the left and one on the right, like a group of stars]

["Hey, we meet again, Vice Admiral Borsalino." Roja greeted Kizaru with a peaceful smile and a relaxed tone: "The last time we met was in Coal Iron City. I didn't expect to that we will meet so soon."]

["The leader of the revolutionary army, Roja." Kizaru looked at the boy in front of him carefully. ]

[He did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest because of his age. It was this boy who organized the revolutionary army on one hand, organized the coal and iron city workers' uprising on the other, and directed the war against the Marine Buster Call. He also achieved great success with minimal losses. achieved brilliant results. ]

[Anyone who dares to look down upon such a person is really a fool. ]

[If you really want to count it out, even Mr. Sengoku was defeated by his men. If you look at the process of this war from the results, it is shocking. ]

["Let's talk alone." Roja looked at Kizaru with a smile and said. ]

[ Kizaru did not respond, but Akainu snorted at the side. ]

["If you want to use this method to drive a wedge between us, I advise you to save your worries, kid."]

["Divide? It sounds good, but I'm generally not good at using this method. I'm good at turning enemies into friends." Roja responded with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Vice Admiral Sakazuki, it's just talk really. "]

["I want to have a good talk with each of you. If you are so eager, I can start with you."]

["Hmph." Akainu looked cold, snorted, and said no more. ]

[ "Okay, let's talk about it." Kizaru crossed his legs, looked at Roja with a crooked mouth, and said in a weird accent: "I happen to be very curious about the leader of the revolutionary army."]

[Kizaru is indeed much more curious about Roja. When he was in Coal Iron City, he didn't care, even if he failed. ]

[And this time, after being captured, he talked a lot with Dragon because of his friendship with Dragon. Although Dragon was also very smart, he basically didn't reveal any information. ]

[But Kizaru is very smart, he still guessed something. ]

[First, this war was all directed by Roja. Dragon, Fujitora and the others obviously did not have this level, they were just executors. ]

[Second, there is no doubt that Roja is the true core of the revolutionary army. This core does not refer to a simple leader, but to Dragon and Fujitora, these powerful core cadres. They are very important to Roja. The reverence cannot be simply described in words. ]

[Especially Dragon He actually just joined the Revolutionary Army because of the incident with Flevance, but his respect and recognition of Roja in his words and expressions did not look like he had just joined. ]

[This is what surprised Kizaru the most. ]

[Who is Dragon? He is the son of a Marine hero. He has extremely high talent. He mastered the Conqueror's coating at a young age. Such a person is destined to stand on the top of the sea, with ambition, strength, and wisdom. ]

[And he also had a strong opinion. He refused Mr. Garp's proposal and decided to go to sea. ]

[What kind of person can convince such a genius and strong man to such an extent in such a short period of time? ]

[Kizaru can't imagine, and Dragon is not the first one. Hidden strongmen like Fujitora, pirate like Naguri, giant like Mori who have lived for more than a hundred years, etc., they were all impressed by this young man. ]

[To be honest, Kizaru had never even heard of this kind of person before. ]

[However, this kind of person happened to be right in front of him. ]

[The prison door was opened, Kizaru stood up, followed Roja and came to a room. ]

["Sit down, relax, it's just a chat. If you weren't too strong, I could have released you from these seastone handcuffs." Roja walked to the sofa and sat down. ]

[And Kizaru sat directly opposite Roja. ]

["Actually, I'm curious, Vice Admiral Borsalino, why did you join the Marines? Is it justice?" Roja looked at Kizaru in front of him and asked. ]

["You ask this because you want to instigate me, right?" Kizaru did not answer directly, but looked at Roja sharply and asked: "Before answering this question, Mr. Roja, you can answer my question?"]

["Why do you want to create a revolutionary army?"]

["Strive for all the poor people in this world, fight against all oppression and exploitation in this world, so that the Celestial Dragons and nobles will not ride on the heads of the people, and so that the people will not Sell everything for a little bit of food."]

[To Kizaru's surprise, Roja did not argue with him, but responded calmly and firmly. ]

["Do you think I will believe this answer?" Kizaru retorted subconsciously. ]

["Then what do you think I think?"]

["In the workers' uprising in the Kingdom of Lvneel, you want to obtain excellent warriors, and the same goes for Flevance, so that you can accumulate capital, and then launch a war to fulfill your ambition." Kizaru analyzed. ]

[When it comes to people like Roja, on the surface, he seems to be a careerist. Wherever he goes, war seems to break out. ]

[But this kind of statement simply cannot withstand scrutiny. ]

[ Before Roja could speak, Naguri on the side could not help but retort. ]

["Get excellent warriors from the Lvneel Kingdom?" Naguri couldn't help but mocked: "When we went to the Coal and Iron City, those workers were subjected to high-intensity work, but they didn't even have enough to eat."]

["They are all skinny, coupled with the extremely harsh air environment, everyone has more or less pneumoconiosis. You saying that Mr. Roja did it for outstanding soldiers?" ]

["If we have so many battleships and so many resources, why do we go to places like the Lvneel Kingdom to select outstanding warriors?"]

[Naguri cannot accept that others use such malicious remarks to speculate and slander Roja. ]

["What about Flevance? There are excellent amber lead resources here, and there are a lot of arms and weapons," Kizaru said and suddenly fell silent. ]

[What can Flevance say? There is an infectious disease with a 100% fatality rate here. ]

[If the revolutionary army really came for arms and weapons, they could just take these arms and weapons away. Why are they still fighting with Marine? ]

[You must know that in this war, their strength is completely at a disadvantage compared to Marine. ]

[Looking at the majestic Roja in front of him, at the young man's firm and peaceful eyes, and at the simple clothes that didn't look like the leader of a large organization, Kizaru was suddenly speechless. ]

[As a Marine, he is used to speculating on human nature with malice, especially those who are opposed to the World Government, but with Roja, he cannot do this. ]

[Nothing Roja has done so far is truly self-interested. Objectively speaking, he rescued the workers during the Lvneel workers' uprising. In this Buster Call war, "he rescued Flevance."]

[ Kizaru still remembers that the remaining workers in the Lvneel Kingdom still maintain respect for Roja. Those residents have a better attitude towards the last workers' uprising army than towards Marines. ]

[He will never forget the shocking scene he saw on this street in Flevance. It seems that the revolutionary army is the Marine who upholds justice, and they are the real rebels. ]

[The revolutionary army led by this boy has overturned all Kizaru's previous understanding of all organizations that stand opposite to the world government. ]

["I still can't understand why there are people like you in this world." Kizaru sighed and said: "At your age, you should have grown up under the protection of your parents."]

["Yes, if it weren't for the Buster Call against the Krojashi Kingdom more than two years ago." Roja sighed lightly. ]

[And this sentence also completely stunned Kizaru. ]

["Are you a survivor of the Kingdom of Krojashi?" At this moment, Kizaru looked at Roja with a new feeling, which was called guilty conscience. ]

["Yes, so I have always been curious, why would Marines, who pride themselves on justice, target Buster Call against an innocent country? What do you, navy soldiers, think?" Roja looked at Kizaru's and asked. ]

[Kizaru's eyes dodge for the first time. He just lowered his eyelids and said in a slightly heavy voice: "There is no real justice, only relative justice."]

["Different camps have different stances. Marine is just a sword. He can cut out things that are not good for the people, such as pirates, and can also cut out things that are not good for the world government, such as some rebels, country and some people."]

["A sword is a sword, and the one holding it is sometimes justice, and sometimes it is the World Government Five Elders, but it is never Marine himself."]

[Kizaru no longer had the tit-for-tat feeling with Roja at this moment. Instead, he became calmer and really seemed to be chatting. ]

["Have you ever thought about resisting?" Roja said. ]

["Resist? Are you standing on the opposite side of the world government? Even though the world government is dark, it still has some uses. Under this flag, you can still practice your justice a little." Kizaru smiled and said helplessly with a crooked mouth. . ]

["But standing on the opposite side, apart from starting a meaningless war, what else can it do? Even if you are the revolutionary army, are you really sure to overthrow the world government?"]

[ Roja didn't speak, just looked at Kizaru calmly. ]

[And Kizaru had already stood up, watching Roja change his frivolous attitude, and said calmly and seriously. ]

["You can't convince me, and I can't convince you. There is something in you that I have never seen before. That may be hope, but it is too weak. Compared to the World Government, you are still too weak."]

[This may be the first time Kizaru has seriously said such words to a person since he realized his position. ]

[After a brief conversation, he finally realized why Roja was impressed by people like Dragon and Fujitora. He did have something in him. ]

[Something that is very rare, but very desirable, something that is completely opposite to the evil of human nature, something that exudes ideal light. ]

[This kind of light, for some idealists, is the only light in the darkness, making them unable to help but draw closer. ]

[But he is not, he is a realist. It's a pity, the righteous man. If it had been ten years earlier, he would have been like a dragon, surrounding this young man. ]

["One last reminder, Mr. Roja."]

["Don't completely underestimate the strength of the world government just because of the victory of a war. Their strength is far stronger than you think."]

["Thank you for the reminder, Vice Admiral borsalino." Roja smiled and nodded. ]

[Kizaru didn't say anything more, but stood up and walked out of the room. His expression became frivolous and vulgar again. He seemed to like to disguise himself very much, showing that he was interested in everything. ]

["Borsalino, what a very interesting person.]

[After Kizaru left, Roja couldn't help but say. ]

["He has a thorough view of the world, but he is a little bit negative. He sees and understands the darkness of world government, but at the same time, he also believes that personal resistance is In vain. "]

["He didn't see the power of the masses, but he could understand it. He should be a symbol of a large number of Marines. He saw the darkness and realized that some things were wrong, but relatively for him, he can only choose to go with the flow and do what he can do. "]

[Roja took out his notebook and recorded: "This kind of Marine is very much like the middle class of the petty bourgeoisie in society. They swing between the world government and the revolutionary army."]

["They realize the mistakes of the World Government and the justice of the Revolutionary Army, but they are pessimistic about the success of the Revolutionary Army. Compared with the unknown new order and They are more willing to maintain the old order than may be destructive in the process of establishing order. "]

["But unlike the petty bourgeoisie, even if the petty bourgeoisie joins the revolutionary army, its revolutionary will will not be too firm. When the revolutionary army shows hope of victory, After the war, this part of Marine will show a very strong revolutionary will. "]

["This part can definitely be won over."]

[ "What are you writing about, Mr. Roja?" Fujitora asked curiously. ]

[He could sense what Roja seemed to be writing, but unfortunately he couldn't see it. ]

["Marine internal component analysis." Roja smiled and closed the pen and said: "We will deal with Marines for a long time in the future, and these investigations are necessary. "]

["Same for you, don't just keep a lot of things in books, but put them into practice. The social class of Goa Kingdom can be investigated, and the same goes for Marine."]

["Marine is such a huge organization, and it must be complicated internally. It is impossible for everyone to have the same idea, which ones can be won over, and which ones must be resolutely attacked. Understanding these clearly will be of great help to our struggle. "]

[Roja's words made Fujitora, Dragon and the others blush. It was true. They had been capturing Marines for a few days, but they had never thought of conducting an in-depth investigation against them. ]

[Instead, we have to wait until we return to Flevance and Roja comes over for a visit. Moreover, this investigation is clearly written in the collection of ideological guidance of the Revolutionary Army. ]

[It can only be said that they are still not good at learning. ]

[After Kizaru, there is Akainu. ]

[Roja still asked a question. ]

["What do you think of this Buster Call against Flevance? Vice Admiral Sakazuki."]

["What do you think about eliminating the rebel parties that colluded with the revolutionary army and preventing the spread of infectious diseases with high fatality rates?" Akainu did not beat around the bush like Kizaru, but was cold and hard-edged, he said. ]

["Don't you know that Flevance' amber lead disease is not an infectious disease? Don't you know that our revolutionary army is here to protect Flevance?" Roja couldn't help but speak. ]

["I don't know, and I don't need to know. Soldiers just obey orders. I don't believe the orders issued by the World Government. Do I have to believe your orders, which are traitors to the world government?"Akainu looked at Roja coldly and said.]

["Investigating information and issuing orders is what the World Government does. Do we need to investigate the ins and outs of the matter before each mission?"]

["Do you want to do it later?"]

[Facing Akainu's answer, Roja was actually speechless. ]

[To a certain extent, he even makes sense. ]
