Chapter 39: Changes In Half A Year

The Revolutionary Army's battle left some members of the chat room in stunned silence.

In terms of sheer numbers and combat prowess, many in the chat room considered the Revolutionary Army members weak, perhaps even frail.

However, the consciousness and unwavering belief they exhibited were truly shocking.

Consider this – just two months ago, these individuals were considered garbage in the dump.

To understand the level of residents in the dump, imagine being stripped of human rights by the capital, reduced to heartless walking dead.

They were cast aside, not only in the capital but also in the border towns.

They were even beneath the gangsters in Bian Town before— at least the gangsters possessed spirit. They resisted, fought courageously, managed to escape the garbage dump, and reached Bian Town.

Yet, here was a group of walking dead, considered mentally and physically rubbish.

However, in just two months, they transformed into a fearless army.

Observing them, even Kaido had to acknowledge their awakening.

No one doubted that, with this belief, they were very likely to fight until the last person.

"Soldiers like this, is this the power of ideology?"

Zephyr found himself shaken.

Initially, he could discern the determination of most soldiers.

However, when it came to actual combat, not a single person retreated.

Zephyr was truly astonished when even the injured soldiers on the ground fervently shouted 'no' at the top of their lungs.

He witnessed a group of individuals considered garbage transform, in just two months, into the epitome of what he deemed the finest soldiers.

From being discarded as trash to becoming soldiers, standing their ground against pirates.

Zephyr suddenly reminisced about Z, the child who was initially the foremost and purest in protecting people and upholding justice.

Since when did his sense of justice transform into safeguarding the interests of the World Government?

Since when did resentment fill his heart, leading him to leave the Marines with the intention to destroy the New World?

"It's unsightly, Zephyr. Your Zs will now."

Perhaps due to the restoration of his body, the resentment in Zephyr's heart had considerably diminished.

At this moment, he allowed himself to return to his core, to rediscover his true self.

"Revolutionary army, proletarian ideology."

At this moment, Zephyr had abandoned the radical notion of destroying the world.

He aspired to pursue true justice, akin to his childhood ideals.

Marine, in his eyes, was not the embodiment of real justice. Zephyr witnessed the most fundamental aspects of the Revolutionary Army from another world.

The purest and most valuable element—something people ardently protected from the depths of their hearts.

"Revolution, and only revolution."

Zephyr smiled with a sense of relief.

It was a burst of laughter from the heart, free from the blindness of anger and resentment.

At this moment, he truly embodied Z.

"Teacher, what's the matter? You seem so happy," Ai En inquired with a smile.

"I've rediscovered justice. Is there anything more gratifying than this?" Zephyr burst into laughter.

For a prolonged period, all the darkness lingering since the tragic loss of his wife and children appeared to disperse with this heroic laughter.

Z, the true rebirth was not merely physical but spiritual.

"This is the Revolutionary Army armed with ideology," the dragon exclaimed excitedly on the Kamabaka Kingdom.

It appeared that these individuals erupted with incredible will because they were determined not to revert to their past lives.

However, the dragon discerned something crucial.

More significant than their personal determination was the ideological education they underwent.

Fear has the power to make people recoil, and death is invariably the greatest fear.

Yet, these are individuals who have experienced a downfall once, and that's why no one hesitates in the face of life and death.

Simple ideological education has a profound impact.

It subtly erases the confusion and depravity in these people's hearts, making them more uplifted and active.

Moreover, the dragon could affirm that as their thinking deepens, the beliefs these soldiers can unleash will become increasingly remarkable.

It might even give rise to miracles beyond the imagination of ordinary individuals.

For Long, watching this unfold in the movie was genuinely worthwhile.

It surpassed any tangible reward.

For the Revolutionary Army, all of Roja's current teachings were the most precious treasures.

[The battle concluded with the complete victory of the Revolutionary Army. Even the third-in-command pirate, who had a bounty of five million, was subdued by the forces of justice.]

[In this skirmish, a hundred revolutionary soldiers suffered serious injuries, with more than ten severely wounded and over twenty sustaining minor injuries. Remarkably, there were no fatalities.]

[The presence of Fujitora played a crucial role.]

[Roja would not assert that due to the harsh nature of war, he restrained Fujitora from taking action, allowing a few casualties. He would not treat these soldiers as mere pawns tossed into the so-called cruel fire.]

[He intended to use the power at his disposal to prevent unnecessary deaths.]

[There are still more than a dozen pirates remaining, and the Revolutionary Army soldiers have successfully restrained them.]

[Roja plans to bring these ruthless pirates back to the camp and have them executed alongside their deputy captain, witnessed by the public.]

[In the blink of an eye, four months have passed.]

[During this time, the camp has entered a virtuous cycle, successfully clearing and transforming piles of garbage mountains into fertile fields.]

[The first camp, located near the Kerber Mountains, is now surrounded by sturdy fences.]

[The once garbage-laden terrain has already yielded one harvest; the climatic conditions and soil of the Goa Kingdom are favourable.]

[Facts have proven the correctness of his decision. The surrounding garbage mountains have concealed the transformations here, making it impossible for nobles and commoners to set foot in this area.]

[Thus, they remain oblivious to the remarkable transformations occurring here.]
