The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

After learning the news sent by Gus on the front line, Irelia quickly rushed to the location. Some things she had to handle personally.

When Daomei arrived at the scene, what happened before her eyes made her extremely sad. Men and women, young and old, all looked skinny.

These people all had lifeless eyes and were wearing tattered cloth called clothes. Each of them was unkempt. When Daomei arrived, they were wolfing down the food distributed by the revolutionary army.

There were several thousand people in total, all of whom were supporters of the Daomei Uprising back then. They did not expect to suffer such cruel oppression from the reactionaries.

Daomei learned from the prisoner's guard that all of them were working for the Kingdom of North, and because of what they did, they were regarded as non-citizens by the military government and could be attacked and oppressed at will.

The environment they live in makes Daomei angry after seeing it. It is said that sixteen or seventeen people are crammed into a large shack that is five feet wide and ten feet deep. They are forced to get up early in the morning to work and can only return to the shack to rest late at night.

All the treatment they received was the worst, even worse than that of the serfs of the Deya Kingdom. After all, serfs were considered private property of the nobles, and they were considered non-citizens, so no one dared to lend a helping hand.

Moreover, the crimes were far more than that. At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of non-citizens sent here, but now the number has dropped sharply. When the revolutionary army interrogated them, the guards were vague at first, and only revealed the truth after using some torture methods.

The remaining one third of the people who disappeared were all victims of oppression. If someone got sick, not only would they not receive any treatment, but they would also be subjected to even more severe oppression.

It is under this kind of high-intensity exploitation that many people have sacrificed their lives quietly in this unknown corner.

"My fellow villagers, I'm sorry that I'm late. Our revolutionary army will definitely avenge you for all the suffering you have endured!" Daomei promised sadly.

This matter was soon reported to Marx and Engels in the Kingdom of Germany, who gave them instructions. It was necessary to enumerate the crimes of the reactionaries, and we could first set up a framework and settle all the accounts when the revolution succeeded.

Next, this incident became evidence of the reactionary crime of the Norse Kingdom’s military government and aroused the indignation of the revolutionary army. Even the Norse Kingdom’s soldiers could not stand it anymore. Not to mention the prisoners of war who joined later, even the Norse Kingdom’s soldiers on the battlefield defected one after another.

Because, when suppressing the uprising, most of the rebels were civilians in the Kingdom of Norse, and they also received sympathy from a considerable number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Norse. The army even forced the government to promise not to threaten the lives of those who were not directly involved in the rebellion.

Now it seems that even the soldiers of the Kingdom of Norse were deceived. Before this crime was exposed, there was no news in the entire kingdom. After it was exposed, it dealt a great blow to the beliefs of many soldiers.

Including many stubborn officers of the Norse Kingdom army who had been captured before, they lost confidence in the military government because of this incident, and began to gradually accept the transformation of the revolutionary army, and even joined the revolutionary army.

Among these officers, even Draven, the second-in-command of the Norse Kingdom’s army, abandoned the military government and chose to serve the revolutionary army in order to make up for his mistakes.

With a large number of former Norse Kingdom officers, including Draven, supporting the Revolutionary Army, the entire Norse Kingdom's military deployment became transparent to the Revolutionary Army.

Daomei led the Red Flag Army directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Noth. Then, with the help of many surrendered officers, the revolutionary army easily captured the royal city just like they did in the Kingdom of Deya.

As for the other two encirclement and suppression armies, they had already chosen to withdraw when the news of the destruction of the main forces of the two kingdoms came out. In other words, the liberation war between the two kingdoms of Roland Island came to an end.

The war was over, and what followed was the reckoning of war criminals, as well as grievance meetings, in preparation for the reckoning of the entire exploiting class.

With the soldiers' identification, anyone who committed a crime in the base area had nowhere to hide, and a group of war criminals were quickly liquidated.

At the same time, Draven, who was pardoned in a solitary prison for his personal contributions, was allowed to come here.

"General, why do you have to do this? If you surrender to the revolutionary army, you will be free. Why do you still live here?" Draven asked puzzledly.

"No, you don't understand. Since our fathers' generation, both my father and I have dedicated our lives to the Norse Kingdom Army. Even if I die, I will die in my military uniform. You don't have to persuade me. I will not surrender.

Besides, the war is over now, and the Kingdom of Norse can turn over the old page and enter a new chapter. You who are in the new era should go to the new era, and I who are in the old era should stay loyal to the old era. "Darius replied with relief.

"But, General, many of the achievements I have made are due to your help. I am just an adjutant. How can I make so many soldiers lay down their weapons so convinced?" Draven advised earnestly.

"No need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. From now on, everything depends on you. You are the person I am optimistic about, and I believe you can go a long way on your own, even further than me." Darius refused decisively.

"General, alas! You are still too stubborn. It seems that the revolutionaries are right. I can only ask you to go with me." Draven said distressedly.

"Let's go, where to? Is this an order from the revolutionaries?" Darius thought to himself, this day has finally come, how could the revolutionaries tolerate a stubborn hardliner like him.

Moreover, although he was not aware of the mistakes made by the military government, he was indeed a beneficiary of the military government system. He had thought about this matter a long time ago, so he would use his life to wash away the sins of the military government.

"Let's go then." Darius replied calmly, and finally followed Draven out of the dark confinement room.

"We're here, right ahead." Draven led Darius towards their destination. As they moved forward, more and more people gathered in the same direction. There were shouts of fighting and killing in front of them, and the closer they got, the louder the sound became.

"Now that you are here, please sit down." A member of the revolutionary party said when he saw the two people coming.

"Huh?" Darius was a little confused. He was not taken to the trial platform or the execution platform, but was sitting behind the scenes listening.

Confused, Darius tried to ask Draven, but Draven stopped him with his eyes and motioned for him to listen.

Then, as the time came, the gathered people began to get excited.

Darius, who was listening, also felt the storm and anger hidden behind him, which also shocked his mind.
