Chapter 113 Sengoku, Mr. Roja Wants To Talk To You

["Really?"]

["You're not joking anymore, Vice Admiral Kuzan."]

[To be honest, if it were someone from the revolutionary army, not many people would believe this. ]

[But it's completely different if Aokiji comes. Although Aokiji has only joined Marine for three years, he is very powerful and he quickly became the Vice Admiral. ]

[And he is very popular, plus he has studied under Zephyr and Garp, both of whom are representatives of the dove faction in Marine, and among Marine, dove faction has the largest number of people. ]

[So although Aokiji has only been there for three years, his reputation and popularity among Marines are much stronger than Akainu. ]

[Everyone knows who he is, and his words naturally have credibility. ]

[At this time, even Kizaru and Akainu couldn't help but be a little surprised. ]

[They thought that Marine would send someone to rescue them, but they never thought that the Revolutionary Army would take the initiative to release them. ]

["I think everyone should be very clear. The Revolutionary Army are not pirates, they are not vicious, and they do not rob people. Mr. Roja, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, has also mentioned this to me several times."]

["The Revolutionary Army and Marines are not enemies. The purpose of the Revolutionary Army and Marine are the same. They both want to make the people live a more peaceful and stable life. We have the same enemy, and that is the pirates."]

[ "It's just that the difference between the Revolutionary Army and us is that the Revolutionary Army's enemies are not only pirates, but also corrupt nobles and Celestial Dragons. This is the biggest difference between the Revolutionary Army and Marines." Aokiji said. ]

[His words were very level. He did not say in detail that the main enemy of the Revolutionary Army was the Celestial Dragons, followed by the pirates. ]

[There are many differences between revolutionary army and Marine, but they are simply summarized as having enemies. ]

[Of course, at first glance, there is nothing wrong with what he said. ]

[The most brilliant thing about these words is that through the simplest description, they told these Marines what kind of organization the Revolutionary Army is. ]

[It has shortened the distance very well and eliminated the resistance of these Marine prisoners to the revolutionary army. ]

[Many Marine admirals couldn't help but fall into thinking. Aokiji's words really made them have a better impression of the revolutionary army. ]

[As long as you fight pirates, we will be good brothers. ]

[As for the Celestial Dragons and those nobles, think about it, there are a lot of damned ones among them. If Marine is not an agency under the World Government, many of them would also want to kill those Celestial Dragons and nobles. ]

[In addition, with Aokiji's promise, they will be released within five days. If you think about it, it seems that the revolutionary army is really a friendly army. ]

[After experiencing the Flevance incident, as long as Marine is a little kind-hearted and moral, he will basically not have much ill feelings towards the Revolutionary Army. The only objection is that as a prisoner, his life and freedom are not guaranteed. ]

[When this last point is eliminated, naturally, the favorability will not be too low. ]

[In fact, Roja's psychological expectations for these Marines are very low, as long as these Marines do not regard their revolutionary army as a pirate organization. ]

[Seeing that the effect was very good, Aokiji also struck while the iron was hot and picked up the Revolutionary Army's ideological guidance collection to explain the division of classes, the friend and the enemy, and instill new ideas for these Marine senior officials. ]

[Of course, this does not include strategic factors. For example, Kingdom of Goa, Sparks, etc.]

[For this reason, the book Ideological Guidance Collection is divided into multiple versions. ]

[The most detailed version is only held by the core cadres of the revolutionary army, and then it is pure ideological guidance that excludes strategic principles. ]

[To say that Aokiji has a really good grasp of the thoughts of the revolutionary army. After all, he has been to the Kingdom of Goa many times, and Gomon did not deliberately avoid him in many things. ]

[What he has been missing is just to take that step, and he is the best revolutionary warrior. ]

[After Aokiji joined, he and Dragon's work on Marine's captives progressed rapidly. ]

[The day after the meeting, Roja had already brought Fujitora to the palace of King of Chek. ]

[They entered from the sky, and there was basically no one to stop them. However, before they finally saw the king, a man discovered them. He was the captain of the king's guard army in the Chek Kingdom. ]

[Nearly three meters tall, with a rugged appearance, he is a Devil Fruit user who ate Zoan Fruit, Dog Dog Fruit:Hyena. ]

[His strength is pretty good, about the level of a 30 million bounty pirate, but he faced Fujitora and was defeated instantly. ]

["You are?"]

[In the palace, the king of the Chek Kingdom sits on a magnificent throne. ]

[He looks to be nearly forty years old, with a broad, hawk-like face, sharp eyes, thin lips, and a somewhat gloomy temperament. ]

[But honestly speaking, this king is considered a relatively capable one among the countries joining the World Government. ]

[After all, as soon as he was able to escape from the Flevance royal family, he thought of using infectious diseases as an excuse to block Flevance and attack Flevance. ]

[At least he is not the kind of fool who is completely corrupted. Of course, he only has ambition and some strength.]

[Essentially speaking, he still belongs to the category of cruel tyrant. Human life is nothing in his eyes. It is just a consumable material and he does not practice benevolence and righteousness. ]

[This kind of person is usually the key target of the revolutionary army to eliminate, but now it is a special situation and requires cooperation. ]

["As someone who caused a lot of trouble in your neighboring country, I don't think you don't know us." Roja looked at the King of Chek Kingdom and said in a relaxed tone. ]

["What are the leaders and cadres of the revolutionary army doing here?" the king of the Chek Kingdom suddenly turned gloomy and asked. ]

[His body trembled slightly because of fear, but he still managed to calm down. ]

["Cooperation." Roja said calmly. ]

["Cooperation? How to cooperate?" The king of the Chek Kingdom calmed down after hearing this. At least he knew that the people from the revolutionary army did not come to kill him this time. ]

["Our revolutionary army will evacuate within five days, and you and the king of the Saloto Kingdom will declare to the outside world that you have captured Flevance after we leave."]

["You want us to protect Flevance in front of the World government?"]

["You are not a fool." Roja said with a smile. ]

["What are my benefits?" King Chek is indeed a capable person. In this situation where his life is completely in the hands of others, he still wants to negotiate benefits and conditions. ]

[But this is a good thing for Roja. If he is eager for benefits, he will naturally be more attentive. ]

[If there is no profit to be gained from this matter, I am afraid he will not try his best to do it. ]

[ "I can give you one-third of the Amber-lead mined in Flevance every month. I can guarantee that the Amber-lead production in Flevance will not be lower than before." Roja said generously. ]

["Oh? Isn't Amber-lead poisonous? Your revolutionary army has always claimed to be the people's righteous army, will you let me do such a thing for the sake of profit?"]

["So you also know that Amber-lead are only poisonous, not infectious diseases." Roja sarcastically said. ]

[However, he did not argue with this kind of interest creature or political creature about this matter, but opened his mouth to explain. ]

["The toxicity of Amber-lead is relatively weak. As long as you do not take Amber-lead for a long time, it will not accumulate such deep toxicity. When mining Amber-lead ore, you only need to wear protective clothing."]

[The toxicity of Amber-lead itself is very weak. As long as it does not enter the human body, it will basically not cause any problems. ]

[The reason why Flevance' Amber-lead disease is so serious is because the world government concealed the toxicity of lead. During the mining process, it was inhaled, and Flevance subsequently used lead to develop paints, tableware, interiors, etc. lotus]

[This resulted in the accumulation of Amber-lead toxins in Flevance' bodies. ]

[Actually, Roja is not quite able to understand why Flevance' royal family and the World government have to conceal the toxicity of Amber-lead. ]

[Normally speaking, if you take precautions during the mining process and prohibit the consumption of Amber-lead in the future, it is basically impossible for Amber-lead disease to occur, let alone a large-scale occurrence.]

[It can only be said that perhaps even the World Government did not know that Amber-lead toxicity would continue to affect the lifespan of future generations. ]

[But I know, I'm afraid I won't do anything. ]

[Anyway, to them, people are really just a number. ]

[Flevance's number can be used for nearly a hundred years, which is already a great value. And if it is gone, it can be replaced with another batch. ]

["Why only one third?" Facing the powerful Fujitora and Roja, King Chek actually said greedily. ]

["Because Flevance left one third, and the other third was given to the Kingdom of Saloto."]

["What if I want more?"]

["Then we can directly eliminate you, and then let the Saloto Kingdom annex you and Flevance, so that we can even only hand over one-half of the total share. What do you think?" Roja looked at it with a smile. Looking at the Chike Kingdom, his voice was full of murderous intent. ]

[The Kingdom of Cheke woke up instantly, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat. ]

[He discovered that the Revolutionary Army wanted something from him, but similarly, he was not the only candidate for cooperation with the Revolutionary Army, and the Revolutionary Army was far more powerful than him. He had no bargaining capital from the beginning to the end. ]

["I understand, I will cooperate." King Chek said calmly. ]

["The right choice." Roja clapped his hands, turned around and left with Fujitora. ]

["Is this enough? Mr. Roja." Fujitora looked back at the palace of the Chek Kingdom, slightly worried: "What if after we leave, he regrets it and cooperates with the World government?"]

[ "No, he is a smart man." Roja said calmly. ]

["After the war with the Marines, he is very aware of the strength of our revolutionary army. If he dares to cooperate with the World government, we can destroy him at any time."]

["Without cooperating with the World government, they can easily obtain a large amount of Amber-lead, which is a huge benefit."]

["If we don't pay the Amber lead, they shouldn't dare to tell the truth after we leave."]

["You don't know much about human nature." Roja was a little helpless: "Using their political power to keep Flevance is something that offends the World government."]

["If you don't give them enough benefits and only use high pressure, resentment will arise over time. Once the resentment is heavy enough, people will become irrational."]

["On the contrary, if you take out part of the benefits, in their eyes, Flevance is a rich mine that can stably produce benefits without taking care of it. When they face the World Government, they will be like maintaining Protect Flevance according to your own interests."]

["They have obtained benefits and they don't have to worry about being wiped out by the revolutionary army. The subjective initiative between the two is completely different." Roja said with a smile. ]

["Fortunately, King Chek is not a fool and can clearly see the twists and turns behind him. If we really encounters a king who is fool, I'm afraid it's really difficult to guarantee that."]

[A moment later, Roja came out of the palace of the Saloto Kingdom. ]

[It's also settled here. ]

[Maybe it's because of the existence of Flevance, or maybe it's the strange phenomenon of three kingdoms crowded on one island, but the kings of Chek and Saloto are pretty smart. ]

[The two rational and skillful kings, plus Flevance in the middle, stand as a tripartite and can restrain each other. This situation is basically perfect. ]

[This situation, as long as the strength of the revolutionary army is maintained, it can maintain the stability of Flevance for at least a few years, not several years. According to the current progress, it will take at most one year before Special medicines can be developed. ]

[At that time, Flevance will be truly reborn. ]

[After Roja came back, he called the reputable people in Flevance and told them about the incident. ]

[And he established an organization in Flevance, composed of people selected from within Flevance and some revolutionary army comrades who were prepared to stay in Flevance. ]

[Replacing the role of the royal family, responsible for managing various daily affairs in Flevance, and in the future contacting the revolutionary army, handling over interests with the kingdoms on both sides, etc. ]

[At this point, Flevance' crisis has basically been resolved. ]

[After nearly a month, this intense action surrounding Flevance has basically come to an end. ]

[ "The last one is Marines." Roja stood at the port of Flevance, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the distant Kingdom of Lvneel. ]

[He is planning to release all the captured Marines, but he also wants to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Marine Admiral Sengoku. ]

[Is he an extreme pro-World government faction, or is he just superficially pro-World government? ]

[If it is the former, it will still be a headache for the Revolutionary Army, because Admiral Sengoku is currently the only Admiral of Marine, and it is basically certain that he will become a Fleet-Admiral in the future. ]

[The Revolutionary Army brought him such a big humiliation this time. In the future, he will become Fleet-Admiral, which will have no small problems. ]

[Of course, if it is the latter, then it is good news for the Revolutionary Army. The Marine's attitude will become ambiguous. for a long time, as long as the revolutionary army does not go too far, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of the navy. ]

[Roja's current understanding of Sengoku is only some explicit information from the investigation, some brief comments from Garp, and a simple understanding from Aokiji. ]

[On the same day, Roja contacted Mori and the others and asked them to find a way to send a phone holder to Sengoku. ]

[Lvneel Kingdom. ]

[Sengoku is very depressed at this moment. He has an absolutely superior force, but he suffered such a big loss in North Blue. ]

[Since becoming Marine Admiral, he has never suffered such a big setback, and this time, it was all caused by the revolutionary army and that Roja. ]

[Right now, he has no good solution. He can only urgently mobilize North Blue's troops and ask for help from the headquarters. ]

[Before help arrived, he could only stay in Lvneel Kingdom. ]

[While he was walking depressedly in the port city of Lvneel Kingdom, a child with somewhat shabby clothes walked up to him. ]

["Are you the Marine Admiral Sengoku?" The dirty boy said. ]

["It's me." Sengoku didn't show disgust because of the child's appearance: "What's the matter with you, child."]

["Someone just asked me to find you and give you this thing." The child opened the backpack he was carrying and took out a phone bug from it. ]

[Sengoku's expression suddenly changed. There was also a white phone bug attached to this phone bug. ]

[This kind of white telephone bug is used to prevent eavesdropping. It is very rare and valuable. It is impossible for a little child to get it. ]

[Who asked him to send him this thing?]

["Oh, by the way, he said me to give you a message."]

["What?" Sengoku asked hurriedly. ]

["He said, Mr. Roja has something he wants to talk about with you."]

[ Sengoku's expression instantly became serious. ]
