The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

"In the final analysis, our homeland must be protected by ourselves." The villagers waved their arms and shouted. After what happened tonight, other villagers clearly believed this.

"I'm sorry. I took it for granted. I didn't know anything about you and planned to contact the navy without authorization. I am just a pirate hunter who makes a living by fighting pirates. When I saw that you were facing the threat of pirates, I couldn't help but think of the navy.

We usually communicate with them a lot, and we thought you needed the navy's protection. But from what you said, it seems that you trust others more than the navy." The submissive explanation came from the man with a resolute face.

If someone familiar with him saw this scene, they would probably be shocked. They didn't expect that Vice Admiral Akainu, who was always known for his toughness in the navy, would actually give in. And he gave in to an ordinary civilian in a remote village. Is this still the Vice Admiral Akainu who upholds "absolute justice"?

However, Akainu didn't have so many thoughts at this time. If he could achieve his goal, face would not be an obstacle.

He then asked, "Hearing you talk about how you fought against pirates on your own, I am very curious. Although it is a bit unfair to think so, but sometimes when I am working, I also think how great it would be if there were no pirates in this world.

If everyone had the strength and determination to fight pirates, this chaotic era of pirates would have ended long ago. By then, I wouldn't have to be a pirate hunter, and I wouldn't have to go to the front line to fight pirates every day.

Maybe I will do something else that doesn’t require such hard work. Then after get off work, I can enjoy the sunset freely at dusk. ”

Listening to Akainu's emotional words, the villagers looked at each other. Although they were strangers meeting for the first time, they could feel in their hearts that this strange strong man was not lying.

They even seemed to resonate with his words, seeing this man constantly fighting pirates in his life, and finally, after achieving his ideal, standing alone facing the sea breeze and watching the sunset.

“There is no doubt that you are sincere, and we feel your emotions,” said the leader among the villagers with some emotion.

Of course, it's not that Akainu's words can move ordinary people. Some of what he said was true, but if you want to resonate with the villagers, it's far from enough.

As early as when Akainu started to speak, he quietly began to guide his observation Haki to mobilize the emotions of everyone present. According to rumors, the people with the strongest observation Haki in the world can even use their observation Haki to change the will of others.

Although Akainu cannot do this, as a candidate for admiral, his level of Observation Haki cannot be weak. He can still guide the emotions of a group of ordinary people who have never been exposed to Observation Haki.

"Dear strong stranger, if you don't mind, we would like to invite you to be our guest as a token of our gratitude." The leading villager said again. Under the influence of his observation Haki, he had already let down his guard against Akainu.

"That's not necessary." Akainu looked at the ruined village, shook his head and said, "Hunting pirates is just my job, I can't thank you. I just have one humble request, I want to know more about the Red Flag Army you mentioned before, I think what you said about their philosophy can give me great inspiration."

"Well, well, our village probably can't accommodate you well given the current situation. As for the comrades in the Red Flag Army, I only have a superficial understanding and can only tell you some of the things I know." said the leading villager.

"It was an unforgettable time. About half a year ago, we first met our comrades from the Red Flag Army. At that time, our village was being harassed and threatened by pirates, and life was in trouble.

However, just when we felt helpless, comrades from the Red Flag Army appeared. They lent a hand without hesitation and helped us out of this embarrassing situation.

They were a few soldiers wearing bright red flags. Although there were only a few of them, they walked with firm steps and full of fighting spirit, and they walked out with the momentum of thousands of troops. Unlike other people we met, they never caused any harm to us.

They organized us, developed a detailed training plan, and led us to strengthen the village's fortifications. Most importantly, they also taught us how to fight and how to unite to fight the enemy. It can be said that the arrival of the Red Flag Army brought us hope.

Under the guidance of the Red Flag Army comrades, we became stronger and no longer afraid of the pirates' attacks. Finally, after a long period of hard work, the pirates nearby were driven away. Our own efforts were very important in this, and the village returned to peace.

The help of the Red Flag Army comrades made us understand that only by uniting as one and bravely facing difficulties can we overcome everything. They made us realize that we can be so strong, and as long as we are organized, we can overcome any difficulties. "

The villagers told the story of the Red Flag Army. When the person who was telling the story was lost in thought, the villagers next to him could naturally continue to tell the story. It was obvious that the influence of the Red Flag Army was very profound on this small island.

"Then, why did they leave?" Akainu asked this question after careful consideration.

“The Red Flag Army comrades also have their own things to do. It is impossible for such outstanding people to be trapped on our remote island forever.

Besides, they left behind enough things, the unyielding spirit of resistance. With this, we can all become excellent warriors like them. "The village leader, who had recovered from his memories, replied.

Seeing the villagers smiling when talking about the Red Flag Army, Akainu couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard on the sea, that the gods in the legend would bring laughter to all the people in the world. How coincidental it was to what he was seeing now.

At this time, the villagers continued, “Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This is the last thing they taught us before they left.

They said that the Red Flag Army has been fighting for the people and they will definitely come back. Let us not lose heart or be disappointed. We just need to hold on in the darkness and wait for the dawn to come. "

As the words fell, the villagers' story ended. All the villagers fell into the thoughts of the Red Flag Army. As an observer, Akainu was also deeply impressed by the Red Flag Army mentioned by the villagers.

As a vice admiral, Akainu had carried out missions in countless places on the sea and was well-informed. This scene was very familiar to him, and he remembered the natural phenomena he had seen when he was on a mission on a tropical island.

There is a tree on a tropical island whose fruit and seeds are wrapped in a thick hard shell. Under natural conditions, it is impossible to open it no matter what method is used. However, there is a bird that has evolved a beak that can break through the shell. Their food is that kind of fruit.

The tree and the bird therefore benefited from each other. With the existence of the bird, the tree could help the seeds wrapped in the hard shell to break free from the hard shell, allowing the tree to reproduce smoothly. The bird also obtained food in the process.

Now it seems that the relationship between the Red Flag Army and the villagers is like that between birds and trees. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

It is almost impossible to destroy the Red Flag Army. If you want to destroy them, you must first destroy the "trees" that provide them with food. However, the fruit that is the root of the tree, except for "birds", no one in the nature can open it.
