Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"That's it?"

After hearing Bai Ye's words and looking at the slightly disdainful expression on his face, even a dragon's heart couldn't help but feel some fluctuations.

No wonder Sabo said that Bai Ye sometimes had some inexplicable bad tastes.

On the opposite side, after seeing the expression on Long's face begin to solidify, Bai Ye also knew that nothing should be overdone.

In fact, Bai Ye still admires the Revolutionary Army very much.

After all, in a world like this where people are brainwashed by the World Government, the emergence of the Revolutionary Army is itself a remarkable thing.

But it is obvious that without any historical reference, their so-called "revolution" was still too naive.

"It is true that I want to stir up hatred and lead to resistance, but that has never been my purpose."

With just one sentence, Bai Ye almost completely denied Long's guess.

"Actually, regarding the Revolutionary Army, I agree with Mr. Garp's views."

"If you keep provoking war, it will still be the civilians who suffer."

"More importantly, is the war started by the Revolutionary Army really useful?"

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at Long: "How is the country now that was led by the revolutionary army and successfully overthrew the original nobles?"

Long's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't understand why Bai Ye asked this question. Did Sabo tell him?

"It's not hard to guess that those islands are now either caught up in war again, or...there are new rulers who oppress the people."

Bai Ye directly answered Long's inner doubts:

“The revolutionary army may have taught those people to resist rule and fight for freedom, but what happened after that?”

"Tyranny needs to be overthrown, but freedom also needs to be limited."

"In order to restore order and redistribute benefits, they will naturally start wars again and again."

"The human heart... is greedy."

-

It has to be said that Bai Ye’s words had a profound impact on Long.

He even admired Bai Ye's ability to state the truth based on mere guesswork, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But for Bai Ye, these things actually all happened in history, and he just needed to match them to the relevant events.

After this, Long completely put aside his pride and began to humbly ask Bai Ye for advice.

Bai Ye also expressed his own opinion:

"To overthrow the World Government, we don't necessarily have to attack the member states. They are the foundation of the World Government. With the current strength of the Revolutionary Army, there is absolutely no possibility of competing."

"And it will be targeted by the World Government too early."

"Besides, that place has been ruled by the World Government's member country system for a long time. Even if they are liberated for a while, they will still choose the same way to distribute benefits out of inertia."

First of all, Bai Ye denied the revolutionary army's long-standing strategic policy.

"But how can we overthrow the World Government if we don't overthrow the Allied Nations?"

Facing Long's question, Bai Ye spoke again:

"Did I say bad things about the World Government all the time during my live broadcast?"

"I was just explaining the World Government's population auction and its member country system."

"As for whether these things will arouse hatred and resistance among civilians, it is not within my consideration."

“My key point is to give the whole world something to compare it to.”

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Long Ye instantly understood: "Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Yes, in fact, everyone is like this."

Bai Ye turned his wrist and took out a few small paper figures and placed them on the table.

Then he took out another piece of meat and placed it in the middle of the paper figure, and continued:

"If from the beginning, this piece of meat was distributed by one of the paper figures, then no matter how much he gave himself, the others would not have any problem with it."

Along with Bai Ye's voice, the paper figures on the table began to move.

"But what if these people could see that right next to them, there is another group of different people?"

Bai Ye took out the paper man and a piece of man again.

"These people share a piece of meat equally each time, and then the others will naturally..."

“They will raise doubts.” At this moment, Long finally understood Bai Ye’s meaning: “When their doubts are not met, they will face two choices.”

"Either overthrow the paper man distributing the meat, or take your own meat and join the group next door that is distributing it equally."

Long raised his head: "So from the beginning, the revolutionary army should start with non-member countries."

Bai Ye was very happy to see that Long had finally followed his train of thought. He even said to Long with some pride, "Have you heard of [Surrounding the City with the Countryside]?"

Next, Bai Ye explained to Long his vision of the world.

Of course, the core idea is to give the Revolutionary Army a facelift and organize troops to help non-member countries resist pirates, thereby forming a new interest group.

This approach actually has many benefits.

On the one hand, when the Revolutionary Army no longer threatens its member states and no longer uses the overthrow of the World Government as its slogan, the latter no longer has any legitimate reason to issue a reasonable warrant for the Revolutionary Army, which has changed its identity.

On the other hand, when the Revolutionary Army no longer focused on causing civilian rebellion, but instead on resisting and capturing pirates, they became a bounty hunter organization of some size for the Navy, and they didn't even need the Navy to provide a bounty.

At the same time, this interest group will also provide the revolutionary army with a steady stream of high-quality talent and operating funds.

In short, this interest group, which has no tyranny and oppression at home and no pirate invasion abroad, will develop in a more benign way and gradually become an existence that the civilians of other member countries will envy.

Of course, this is just the ideal situation.

In fact, the World Government will definitely impose sanctions on it. After all, how could they allow such a behemoth to appear?

But for the revolutionary army, this situation is definitely much better than a group of people hiding and always carrying the label of criminals.

Moreover, Bai Ye has other plans.

At the same time, with the military strength of the World Government, it is almost impossible to impose all-round sanctions on this interest group.

The price to pay would be too high.

It can be said that, at least for a long time to come, the world government will be unable to prevent the rise of this interest group.

The reason why Bai Ye helped the revolutionary army so much was naturally because he had his own little calculations.

On the one hand, the Revolutionary Army's actions of protecting and developing non-member countries will make civilians in these places who originally wanted to go to sea give up that idea.

At the same time, after the Revolutionary Army began to sweep the pirates, the pirates' living space would naturally be further compressed.

By then, the pirates in this sea will either be eliminated by the Navy and the Revolutionary Army, or they will have no choice but to flee to the New World.

In this way, Bai Ye almost fulfilled his promise to Garp with the help of Dragon's power.

And the most important reason is that once the Revolutionary Army begins to implement its plan, it will once again become a thorn in the side of the World Government.

In comparison, the Straw Hat Pirates kidnapping the Celestial Dragons doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?
