One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

[To be honest, Ryan is not a big fan of showing off his documentation.]

[And at many moments, the power of words often seems pale and powerless, not to mention that this is not a speech, but to convince people of one's identity.]

[All Ryan can do is show you this handbook of ideas.]

[There are two reasons behind this. First, anyone who has read this collection of ideas carefully will understand that the knowledge recorded in it is authentic, practical, and extremely valuable. It is not a forgery.]

[Secondly, without any pre-faking, some of the events in this book about the Kingdom of Nova are very likely to resonate with people.]

[Especially those commoners who are not of noble origin and hold a belief in justice.]

[Thus, this manual has been invaluable to date.]

[With the help of this manual, Ryan explained the purpose and mission of their revolutionary army, detailed their efforts in the Kingdom of Nova, and the current progress in the Kingdom of Lustenia.]

[“Overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons? Do you want to start a global war?” When Ryan mentioned armed struggle, Taylor immediately showed excitement.]

[Ryan just stared at him and spoke in a calm tone that would make anyone think.]

[“Have you ever seen a landfill with mountains of garbage and endless landfills where people are struggling to survive? I have experienced it myself. I lived there for half a year and transformed it into fertile farmland. The people there no longer obey the rule of the Nova royal family.”]

[“Have you ever seen a country where every breath of air is filled with dust and the sky is covered with thick black smoke? I have seen it with my own eyes. It is the Kingdom of Lustenia in the North Sea.”]

[“Have you ever seen the dark and narrow coal mine tunnels? Those tens of thousands of ragged, skinny workers who are cruelly exploited and oppressed?”]

[“I have seen it, and I have worked there myself alongside the workers, enduring strenuous physical labor and eating only enough low-quality food to fill their stomachs.”]

[“Have you ever seen a country where people have risen up time and again, and each time they were suppressed, they were left with despair in their eyes? I have, and I promised them that I would lead them out of their predicament.”]

[“As long as you have witnessed these scenes of suffering that are like purgatory on earth, and see the people who are exploited and oppressed like livestock and slaves for the benefit of the nobles, you will understand that armed struggle is an inevitable necessity.”]

[“If you think I am a pure careerist and a war madman, then please learn more about this world.” Ryan’s eyes were deep and peaceful.]

[At this moment, Taylor didn't dare to look directly into the boy's eyes. Those eyes seemed to reflect the boy's hardships and efforts along the way, as well as his deeper determination.

[“Everything he said was true, Taylor.”]

[Just at this moment, a deep and heroic voice came from behind Ryan.]

["Jack?" Taylor is surprised by the newcomer.]

[He didn't expect Jack to come here.]

[“Sorry, I couldn’t suppress my curiosity about this young man, so I followed you quietly and overheard your entire conversation.”]

[“However, I can provide proof for this young man.” Jack said with a hearty smile.]

[“I have personally visited the Kingdom of Nova. There is indeed a huge garbage dump there, and I heard that there is a new ruler there.”]

[“I have also been involved in the Kingdom of Lustenia. The situation there is even more tragic than that of the Kingdom of Nova. I thought about helping them, but I soon realized that the people there do not need a savior like me. An outsider like me cannot completely save that country.”]

[“Of course, the most important thing is that I heard the voice from that boy.” Jack looked at Ryan.]

["sound?"]

[After confirming that what Ryan said was true, everything he said was shocking.]

[Both Taylor and Albert could not help but cast their eyes on this determined young man.]

[He has great ambitions and has walked down to earth to get to where he is today. He once worked in a garbage dump and shared hardships with tens of thousands of workers. The perseverance and quality he has shown are awe-inspiring.]

[“Sorry, Ryan, I apologize for my doubts.” Mr. Taylor is also a generous person, and he admitted his mistakes and prejudices without any reservation.]

[“It doesn’t matter, none of this matters, Mr. Taylor, would you like to join us?” Ryan asked Taylor with a smile.]

[“Of course,” Mr. Taylor responded with a laugh.]

["How about it, young man, or Ryan, since I'm speaking up for you, would you like to go for a drink together?" Jack walked up and put his arm around Ryan's shoulder.]

[Jack's closeness startled Carl, who was standing next to him, and he tried to keep his distance, but he did not resist.]

[Jack was full of curiosity about the young man in front of him. Few people could catch his eye, but Ryan was undoubtedly one of them. Although Jack had already noticed Ryan's extraordinary qualities through the conversation.

[“Forget about the wine, but I can have some drinks.” Ryan coughed lightly. After all, he was still young and drinking was harmful to his health.]

[“No problem!” Jack laughed heartily.

[Afterwards, they all came to the open space in front of the warehouse, and Jack announced loudly: "Friends are here, it's time to have a party, guys!"]

[“Alright!” The members of Jack’s Pirates raised their glasses in response, and cheers echoed through the night sky.]

[The party didn't end until late at night.]

[Under the influence of alcohol, most members of Jack's Pirates were drunk and fell to the ground. The Seven Water Islands are like spring all year round, so even if they lie in the open air, they will not feel cold or uncomfortable.]

[Not to mention the Jack Pirates, who have monster-like physiques.]

[Jack is a little tipsy, Carl is quite drunk, but Ryan remains sober.]

[Also awake are Angus and Constantine.]

[Under the bright moonlight, Jack stood up and suggested: "Let's go for a walk together?"]

[Constantine beside him also stood up, and Carl, who was a little drunk, wanted to follow, but Ryan dissuaded him and told him to have a good rest.]

[The three followed the moonlight, passed a huge abandoned ship, and finally came to a dilapidated old ship on the beach with a cracked hull and rusted masts.]

[“Let’s go aboard and take a look.” Jack looked at the ship with a hint of sadness in his eyes, recalling the past.]

[Ryan and Constantine followed him aboard.]

[“This is the ship I first sailed on. I think you stole it from a noble, right, Constantine?” Jack recalled with a laugh.]

[“Yes, he is the richest nobleman in our hometown.” Constantine also responded with a smile: “The experience of stealing the boat that day was really exciting.”]

[“That was more than 20 years ago. It makes me nostalgic. Good times are always fleeting.” Jack stroked the rusty mast, feeling deeply moved.

[“Jack.” Constantine looked at his old friend, hesitant to speak.

[“Sorry, Ryan, for making you listen to so much of my nagging.” Jack retracted his gaze from the mast, looked at Ryan and smiled: “There is a question I have always wanted to know. From the perspective of the revolutionary army that liberates the lower classes, how do you view us pirates?”]

[“Is he a villain who burns, kills and loots? Is he a criminal who violates the laws of the world government? Or is he a fool who only shouts slogans of freedom and adventure?” Jack asked with a smile, his eyes fixed on Ryan, full of expectation.

[“In my opinion, pirates can be divided into three categories.” Ryan did not hesitate.

[As a growing and increasingly large social group that cannot be ignored, Ryan conducted in-depth research on pirates as early as the Nova Kingdom period.
