Chapter 132 Discrimination And Hostility, Race And Class

[ Roja didn't expect Fisher Tiger to bring so many fishmen.]

[Obviously with his strength, he also has a very high reputation in The fish men island. Roja can clearly feel that these fish men invited by Fisher Tiger respect Tiger from the bottom of their hearts.]

["Welcome, Mr. Tiger."]

[ Roja also smiled and shook hands with Tiger.]

[Then, following Tiger's introduction, he shook hands with the fishmen brought by Tiger one by one.]

[These fishmen are all a little curious when facing Roja. They already know that Roja is a terrifying existence with a bounty of 2.5 billion.]

[It's just that one of the fish-men was different. What made Roja frown a little was that he showed strong malice towards him.]

["Mr. Roja, right? We are here because of Brother Tiger, to save our people. We will not obey the command of human being like you."]

["Hey, Arlong, shut up." The whale shark man on the side yelled.]

[Roja remembered that his name was Jinbe, and he was a very forthright fish-man. From what he heard, he found that he was a very good fish-man, and he seemed to be quite extraordinary.]

["Sorry, Mr. Roja, for Arlong." Tiger apologized to Roja.]

[Roja waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to pay too much attention.]

["This operation is to liberate the slaves on the entire Sabaody Archipelago, and even to set up a flag to liberate the slaves all over the world."]

["There is no one who leads whom. As long as the purpose is to rescue slaves, they are all friends of our revolutionary army. Whether they are humans or fishmen, all races are equal, and no one should be enslaved."]

["It's just that this matter requires careful planning. There are many slave markets on the Sabaody Archipelago, and they are extremely scattered. It is impossible for you alone, or just relying on us, to rescue all the slaves on the island." ]

[ Roja said and looked at Arlong. There was no anger, no so-called discrimination or condescension in his eyes, but only calmness and tolerance.]

["That's why we need to unite, Arlong, we are not enemies, our common enemies are those who capture fishmen and humans as slaves."]

["It's those people who provide protection behind them and are in constant demand for slaves. What we have to do is to completely cut off their hands reaching for slaves, so that our compatriots will no longer be Being treated as a slave and being humiliated wantonly."]

[After Roja finished speaking, all the fishmen basically had a big change in their senses towards Roja.]

[Originally, they were only invited by Brother Tiger to come to Sabaody to rescue fellow fishmen who were captured as slaves.]

[What they know about Roja is that he is a very strong human being according to Brother Tiger.]

[But now, Roja's words made them truly feel that the boy in front of them was completely different from other humans.]

[He does not discriminate against fish people. He possesses the brilliance of an ideal that is unimaginable. Under this ideal, fish people and humans are equal. What he fights against is the unreasonable phenomenon in this world. It is not because Those born from fish-men or humans will be treated differently.]

[Only Arlong snorted coldly, with a very unruly expression on his face.]

[Roja actually didn't care much about Arlong's attitude. His words were not addressed to Arlong, but to all the fishmen present.]

[Actually, he can feel the sound of all things by listening to it.]

[Not all Fishmen are as friendly as they appear on the surface. Even with Tiger around, these Fishmen are more or less wary and hostile towards him in their hearts.]

[It's just that they are not as strong and obvious as Arlong's.]

[This is normal, Roja can understand it very well, based on the information he has learned.]

[As early as two hundred years ago, after the worldwide Fishmen discrimination incident broke out, the status of the Fishmen in the world has become very low since then.]

[In fact, this is essentially because the fishmen are currently the only special race that has established diplomatic relations with human countries.]

[As the first special race to embrace humans, it eventually led to widespread discrimination. I have to say that this phenomenon is really ironic.]

[And after two hundred years of discrimination against Fishmen, this discrimination has become widespread and deep-rooted, and Fishmen seem to have become naturally hostile to humans.]

[To be honest, Roja is surprised by fish-men like Fisher Tiger. Perhaps because of his sailing around the world, this man sees everything very clearly, but he is not so hostile to humans.]

[He even knows very well that the future of the Fishmen still has to unite with humans. The enemies of the Fishmen are not all humans.]

[A person with this kind of thinking, although he does not have a clear understanding of the so-called class, and does not have a clear sense of friends and enemies, he basically has a vague idea.]

[This is an excellent proletarian warrior. The only thing he lacks now is the last bit of ideological guidance to guide him to have a systematic, clear and clear understanding of the world.]

[Of course, what the revolutionary army does is work, which is to guide the people to spontaneously carry out revolution.]

[This kind of guidance is not just for people like Fisher Tiger, who have extremely high ideological awareness. Even people like Arlong are within the guidance of the revolutionary army.]

[ Roja did not feel any other bad vibes from Arlong.]

[This shows that although this young fishman is extremely hostile to humans, he has not done anything irreversible yet.]

[Arlong is only a slightly extreme representative among the Fishmen. He is also a manifestation of the Fishmen' hostility towards humans against the backdrop of nearly two hundred years of discrimination and plunder by humans.]

[Roja is very clear that if he wants to unite the fish people, he must eliminate the common stereotypes the fish people have about humans and let them know that not all humans are the enemies of the fish people.]

[Don't extend malice and hostility to the entire race, but understand the enemy and the class. Only after understanding these can we guide correctly and target the people who should be targeted.]

[This is definitely not an easy thing to do, but what is the easy thing that Roja has done since he established the revolutionary army?]

[Some things, no matter how difficult they are, are destined to be done. There are no opportunistic ways.]

[In other words, if this kind of thing is really opportunistic, it will most likely have the opposite effect.]

[Roja's words were just what he really thought. Of course, there was no such thing as a fishman bowing his head after hearing it.]

[Two hundred years of estrangement Roja will not ask these fish-men to act like fools and be moved by his words.]

[It is enough to have a slight change in perspective, to know roughly what kind of person he is, and to be able to pay careful attention to what the revolutionary army does in the future.]

[To this day, their revolutionary army has never relied on words, but real actions. Whether it is the Kingdom of Goa, the Kingdom of Lvneel, or Flevance, they are all revolutionary soldiers, they established the credibility of the revolutionary army.]

[The fish people were arranged in their own rooms in the cabin.]

[The clear words Roja said still spoke to their hearts.]

[If they want to save all the slaves on Sabaody, even if they only want to rescue the Fishmen slaves, it is not enough to rely on them alone. They need to rely on the power of the revolutionary army.]

[Coupled with the restraint of Tiger, even Arlong, a fish-man who is so hostile to humans, said nothing and obediently followed the arrangements of the revolutionary army.]

[After most of the Fishmen left, only Tiger and Jinbe stayed.]

["Sorry, Mr. Roja, Arlong just has a slightly extreme personality." Tiger said to Roja apologetically.]

["His nature is not bad, but he has been exposed to too many bad things. After all, he grew up in Fishman Street. There are too many negative things in that place."]

["He is very kind to people of his own race."]

[Tiger explained for Arlong.]

[He has a very good relationship with Arlong. He grew up watching Arlong. His nature is not bad because he can still be very tolerant even when facing weak fishmen and mermaids.]

[What he hates is only human beings.]

[Tiger doesn't want Roja to misunderstand and discriminate against fish people for some reasons, which is a common phenomenon among humans nowadays.]

[After he returned, he found a lot of information about the revolutionary army.]

[Much of this information was dug out by World Economic News, since Flevance defeated Marine's large Buster Call.]

[The Revolutionary Army also became the darling of the World Economic News, because reporters began to dig up information related to the Revolutionary Army.]

[And the more Tiger read these materials, the more he admired the revolutionary army.]

[As a fish-man who grew up in Fishman Street, but has never had that kind of ferocious aura, Tiger's childhood suffering did not turn into aggression, but instead made him think a lot more about the world.]

[So since he became an adult, he began to travel around the world.]

[So far, he has been to many places and seen many things. He is a very experienced navigator.]

[It is precisely because of his rich experience and objective thinking about the world that Tiger chose to believe in the revolutionary army. He did not want to have any misunderstandings with the revolutionary army.]

[There is a vague understanding of class thinking in his mind. He is one of the rare fish-men who has put aside racial barriers and is blinded by hatred.]

[He clearly knows that the revolutionary army is completely different from the humans who persecute the fishmen. This is an organization that can definitely change the current situation of the fishmen.]

["It's okay, you know, I won't be angry because of this. On the contrary, I understand him very well. Some humans have indeed committed unforgivable things against fish-men." Roja said calmly.]

["Moreover, the common phenomenon among human beings today are also full of discrimination, and hostility towards fish people. This cannot be eliminated in a short time."]

[Roja's tone was a little heavy, as did Tiger and Jinbe who were standing beside him.]

[Tiger thought of Princess Otohime. The more serious the human discrimination against fish people, the more serious the fish people's hostility towards humans. This is a knot that cannot be opened.]

[Princess Otohime is busy all day long, but the results are minimal.]

[He suddenly wanted to introduce the revolutionary army to Princess Otohime. He always felt that if it was Roja, he should be able to help Princess Otohime in her actions.]

[The princess is too idealistic, but Roja, it is obvious that he not only shines with the ideal, but also has a strong ability to guide everyone towards the ideal.]

[" Mr. Tiger, can you tell me about Fishman Street and the Ryugu Kingdom you just mentioned?" Roja seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too dull, and Roja softened his words and changed the atmosphere.]

["Fishman Street? What's there to say about that place?" Tiger was stunned. Even Tiger, who grew up there, didn't have much of a favorable impression of Fishman Street.]

["Listening to what you said before, this Fishman Street seems to be a very bad place. I have been to many such places. Where problems gather, it can often be reflected on lots of stuff. "Roja said firmly.]

["The more this kind of place is, the more it should solve its problems."]

[Tiger couldn't help but feel a little emotional after listening to Roja's words.]

[Fishmen Street gradually evolved into a lawless zone because everyone avoided it and was managed.]

["In the beginning, Fishman Street was a large place to house orphans. From the original intention of its establishment, this was undoubtedly a good thing." Tiger gradually told the story of Fishman Street.]

[ Roja listened carefully on the side, holding paper and pen in his hand, recording something from time to time.]

[Jinbe's eyes have been on Roja. He didn't talk much from the beginning and was very steady.]

[He doesn't trust Roja as much as Tiger does, but now, he gradually started from trusting Roja because of Tiger to having a good impression of Roja.]

[This man is different from most human beings. He is sincerely listening to what is going on in Fishman Street and discussing with Brother Tiger how to transform Fishman Street.]

[In this situation where most humans avoid fishmen, even the fishmen themselves don't want to get close to fishman street.]

[There is actually a human being who pays such attention, which really makes Jinbe feel an inexplicable feeling.]

[Roja and Fisher Tiger talked a lot.]

[They chatted for a long time, most of the time Fisher Tiger was talking and Roja was listening.]

[He heard what Fisher Tiger said about what he had seen and heard in the past few years of traveling around the world, about all the injustices he had wondered about, and all the problems he had seen.]

[ Roja doesn't talk much, but he hits the nail on the head every time, responding to Tiger's questions.]

[Jinbe just listened on the sidelines. He was not as experienced as Tiger, nor was he as far-sighted and visionary as Roja.]

[But he is the best listener. He is calm and restrained, but full of wisdom. From the exchange between the two, he gained a lot.]

["If you are willing, you can attend the classes held within our revolutionary army in the evening." Roja said to Tiger with a smile.]

[There is still a good tradition of running courses within the revolutionary army.]

[Even though the literacy rate in this world is very high and there is basically no need for literacy activities, many proletarian ideological theories need to be learned.]

[Excellent soldiers who are more advanced in ideological learning, as lecturers, give lectures to soldiers who join later.]

[This excellent tradition has been continued from when Roja was giving lectures at the Goa Kingdom Gray Terminal.]

[The outstanding warriors from the Gray Terminal came to the Kingdom of Lvneel, and then were dispersed to all parts of the world by the worker warriors of the Kingdom of Lvneel.]

["That's great." Tiger said happily.]

[He has a feeling of regret for meeting Roja too late.]

[Although they have only been in contact for a short time, Tiger is quite obsessed with the ideas and theories of Roja and the revolutionary army.]

["Can I do that too? Mr. Roja." Jinbe, who had been silent, asked from the side.]

["Of course, all comrades are welcome in the revolutionary army." Roja smiled very friendly.]

[The sound of "comrade" makes Jinbe feel close to him.]

[The arrival of the fishmen is good news.]

[The Revolutionary Army has never stopped investigating intelligence information.]

[At the same time, Roja also found Brook at this time and asked him to help write a song, hoping to inspire people's hope and inner strength.]

[Some of those slaves have been tortured for too long. Roja hopes to help them find hope again.]
