One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

As a soldier, Akainu's duty is to follow orders, which is understandable to some extent.

But there is a basic condition, that is, the order itself should not contradict people's basic morality.

Obeying orders is to maintain the combat effectiveness and unity of the army, but this force should serve the lofty goals of the army.

For example, the revolutionary army founded by Roya, his goal is to liberate the global proletariat and eliminate exploitation and oppression.

Based on this philosophy, all orders he issues must be consistent with this.

He couldn't possibly order the Revolutionary Army to destroy Frevans and exterminate all the civilians there.

Regardless of whether such an order was given or not, if the revolutionary army carried it out, it would have deviated from its original intention and become a pure tool of violence, losing its ideals and justice.

The navy has deteriorated in Roja's eyes. It is not simply built by the World Government, just as it cannot be said that the construction of a country depends only on nobles or leaders.

History is created by the people, and the birth of the navy should stem from the people's desire for peace and hatred of pirates.

Funds and personnel came from all over, including war orphans, farmers, craftsmen, and children of merchants, who together formed this huge organization regardless of region or class.

It should represent justice and serve the people of all countries. It should not become a violent machine that blindly executes orders, and it should not act solely at the behest of the world government.

On the one hand, they were accused of colluding with the revolutionary army and working with traitors; on the other hand, ignoring the deadly disease, blockading Frevans, and slaughtering the patients, wasn’t this against human nature?

However, it was these two absurd reasons that led the navy to gather a large army and declare war on a country in a mighty manner, treating life as worthless.

The Draco can be cold and callous, viewing humans as expendable, but the Navy cannot. They should remember who feeds them, who pays the price, and what they are protecting and defending.

Roya explained these ideas to Akainu, but to little effect. The stubborn man considered the Revolutionary Army traitors and did not accept his theories.

Perhaps Akainu also felt that what he said made sense, but he firmly believed that maintaining the laws and order of the World Government was more important to most people.

"The guardian of order in the navy and a staunch enforcer of principles." This is what Truben commented after Akainu left.

After much deliberation, Luo Ya still took the "majority principle" into consideration.

The so-called "majority principle" means that the navy believes that it holds the bond of peace and stability, and this bond is connected to millions of people.

When the world's ruthless leaders declare that someone has violated the order, their priority is not the rationality of the order, but to regard the lawbreaker as the opposite of the majority and sacrifice him.

However, from a class perspective, these sacrificed minorities are often part of the majority.

This choice is extremely inhumane. Over time, they think they are righteous, and become more and more determined and extreme.

“As a comrade, he has a strong will and a tough style. He is undoubtedly the strongest fighter and will become a firm pillar of the new order.

But as an enemy, he will be our primary target in the short term.”

“The greater the power, the stronger the will, the greater the influence.”

“When the revolutionary army is weak, he is the enemy; when the revolutionary army is in control, navy officers like Sakaski may still become staunch supporters.”

Roya did not completely deny Akainu. He joined the navy and hoped to establish peace, which was beyond many people in the world, even though his ideas were too extreme.

Therefore, he is treated differently from Kizaru and others.

Kizaru and others can be won over, and one day they may turn to the Revolutionary Army and show an amazing will to resist.

But people like Akainu are different. They will only appear when the Revolutionary Army has the upper hand. There are even extremists who are willing to coexist and die with the old order.

But once they join the revolutionary army, they will also become determined fighters, but they need to strengthen ideological guidance to prevent them from going to extremes.

Afterwards, Roya spent the entire day communicating with the rest of the officers.

Except for Kizaru and Akainu, the others can be divided into two categories.

One group finds it difficult to truly identify with a world government, or they just go with the flow, but they may temporarily compromise due to the lack of a better way to realize their ideals.

In the long run, they will become people like Kizaru, but at this stage they are easy to be won over and become outstanding comrades of the Revolutionary Army.

Another type is Vice Admiral Korg, who join the navy only for power and status. They are bureaucratic and abuse their power.

This type of people, whom Roya calls speculators, may join the revolutionary army when it rises, but they lack firm will and may affect the internal atmosphere of the revolutionary army.

This type of people must be carefully identified. Some of the corrupt ones can be won over, but they need to be suppressed and educated to prevent them from destroying the spirit of the revolutionary army.

Those who are thoroughly corrupt, such as local hegemons, are enemies and must be eradicated without mercy.

"That's about it. What remains is to investigate the captured naval soldiers. You should assign people to do this work." Luo Ya closed his notebook and stretched.

They were amazed at the internal analysis report of the Navy that Roya wrote from scratch in one day.

Although not as shocking as the first time I saw the class analysis of the Goa Kingdom, I still admire Roa's abilities.

Just by talking with captured officers, he was able to summarize the four characteristics of the navy and make evaluations of each type of people, which is rare.

Luo Ya's vision is as sharp as ever. He can always find perspectives that ordinary people overlook and hit the key points.

His investigation and analysis went beyond the norm and analyzed the Navy from within, which was also a successful investigation.

Following Roger's discussion on pirates, Roya put forward new insights on the navy.

Unfortunately, he was unable to discuss this with high-ranking naval officials such as Sengoku and Garp.

"Mr. Luoya has a very sharp vision. After just a brief conversation, he has analyzed me clearly." Kizaru said helplessly.

Although the conversation was short, Kizaru clearly felt that he had hidden a lot in front of Roya, but he still couldn't escape.

His precise summary made Kizaru feel ashamed, as he was unable to describe himself in such concise words.

"What a terrible person, so terrible." Kizaru said in a relaxed tone, without any rejection.

On the other side, Egghead and Aokiji were also shocked by Roya's report.

Although not as shocking as when they had analyzed the class of the Goa Kingdom, they still admired Roya's ability.

Roya did an excellent job of summarizing the four types of navy simply by talking to captured officers, and of providing different perspectives on each type of person.

He has a keen eye and can always find perspectives that others overlook and reveal the facts in a precise manner.

Roya's investigation and analysis went beyond the norm and started from the internal structure of the navy, which was also a successful analysis.

After discussing pirates with Roger, Roa came up with new insights about the navy.

Unfortunately, I was unable to discuss this with Sengoku, Garp and others this time.

"Mr. Luoya has a really sharp eye. After just a short conversation, he left me nowhere to hide." Kizaru sighed.

He clearly remembered that he tried to hide a lot in front of Luo Ya, but he was still seen through.

His summary that hit the nail on the head made Kizaru feel inferior, unable to describe himself in such concise language.

"What a terrible person, so terrible." Kizaru said in a relaxed tone, and he didn't seem disgusted.

On the contrary, he was looking forward to when he would actually join the revolutionary army.

Among the three of them, Aokiji is undoubtedly the most enthusiastic. He has already resigned from his position in the navy and is only one step away from joining the Revolutionary Army.

Although I am a prisoner, I have not yet made a decision.

Kizaru knew that he would not turn to the Revolutionary Army immediately because he did not believe that the Revolutionary Army had the ability to compete with the World Government.

He was not optimistic about the revolutionary army, even though it had just won a major victory.

"The Revolutionary Army still needs to work harder, there is still a big gap." Kizaru commented, "I hope they won't be carried away by victory."

Unconsciously, Kizaru had begun to think from the perspective of the Revolutionary Army.

In another sea area, Aokiji showed a relieved smile on his face.

He looked at the screen: "Have you finally decided to join the Revolutionary Army?"

He envied himself in another world, who could make up his mind quickly, leave the navy and take the right path.

Unlike him, he did not meet Roya and did not join the revolutionary army.
