The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Just as Ma En was leading his men towards the North Sea, another revolutionary group was also heading towards the South Sea, led by Li and Crow. Their elite level was no less than that of Ma En's group.

"Old Li, do you think things will really be as Mr. Maan said? Will the world government really shamelessly persecute those innocent pregnant women?" Crow said in a serious tone.

Li knew that Crow didn't really believe in the ethics of the World Government, but was still unwilling to give up and still had a glimmer of hope for what might happen soon.

After all, if what Mr. Marx said is true, then what the world government has done is such that even animals would spit on it and feel inferior to it.

"Comrade Karas (Crow), we cannot pin our hopes on the enemy's mercy. Don't forget what happened in the Kingdom of Andorra and Roland Island, don't forget our brothers in the coal mines and the exploited serfs on Roland Island." Li replied seriously.

"Alas." Crow sighed. He heard Li calling him by his real name instead of the nickname that everyone usually called him. He knew that Li was trying to enlighten him and told him not to dwell on trivial matters.

"I understand. Isn't this what our revolutionary party is supposed to do? Now that we have escaped from the darkness, we must guide more people toward the light." Crow said firmly.

"Get ready, we are almost at the South China Sea. We won't have much time left, so we must be prepared before the World Government takes action and resolutely prevent the World Government from succeeding." Li said solemnly.

Soon, after a few days, the revolutionaries finally arrived in the South China Sea, and everyone began to act according to the plan.

South China Sea, Batelila Island.

After several days of trekking, Li and Crow brought most of the members of the Revolutionary Party to Batirila Island in the South China Sea. After arriving here, Li and Crow looked around and saw a peaceful scene.

"Do we really want to build a base centered here? It seems that life here is happy, the people are prosperous, and there is no oppression." Crow said with some doubt.

"Yes, this is what Mr. Ma En told me before we set off. It is best to build the party's sphere of influence with Batirila Island in the South China Sea as the center.

Although the class contradictions here are not acute, there are some things that we, the revolutionary party, cannot overcome.

According to Mr. Maan’s intelligence and calculations, the bloodline of Pirate King Roger may be hidden on this island. "Li explained to Crow.

"The bloodline of Pirate King Roger?! It's here!" Crow was a little surprised.

Before the revolutionary team set out for the South China Sea, Ma En only told Li about this secret, and let Li use it as the main basis for the revolutionary party to carry out work in the South China Sea. At the moment, Li felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he decided to tell Crow.

"If things are as Mr. Marx said, then Baterila Island will be the focus of the world government's attacks in the future. It will also become the main battlefield of our revolutionary party, so we must never retreat." Li continued.

The revolutionaries were persuaded by Li and decided to rely on the clues provided by Marne to develop the power of the revolutionaries with Batirila Island as the center. "We must act quickly, the world government will not wait for us.

Also, comrades, you must be careful when you act, and be sure to watch out for suspicious people. According to Mr. Maen, the World Government will definitely send out CP agents to investigate in order to find out information about Roger's bloodline. Comrades, take care of yourselves. "

Next, the revolutionary group officially began building the base.

On the island of Batalila, the revolutionary party's actions were relatively moderate, mainly by working with the island's people to get closer to the masses. The effect was also very significant, and the revolutionary party quickly integrated into the island's masses.

"Come from the masses and go back to the masses. Mr. Marx and Engels never lied to me." Li said with emotion as he looked at the good situation on the island.

"According to the plan, the comrades concentrated on Baterila Island should be dispersed. Now, the foundation of the base on Baterila Island has been laid, and the next step is to expand the depth of the base." Crow suggested.

Li thought that the work on Batirila Island had basically been completed and agreed with Crow's suggestion.

"Also, Comrade Crow, we must also focus on building the militia in the base area. In order to cope with possible violent oppression in the future, the establishment of mass armed forces is also urgent." Li added.

In this way, many revolutionary party members began to spread around Baterila Island, bringing the seeds of revolution to many oppressed regions and people.

The militia formed by the revolutionary party also provided strong military support for the subsequent expansion of the base area.

The militias established in various places usually claimed to be local people's self-defense forces. After gaining the trust of the masses, the members of the revolutionary party stationed in these places began to train young and strong people to form militia teams.

These newly formed militias did not have very good weapons and relied on the weapons brought by the revolutionaries from the West Sea. A village or town might only have a few guns and no more than a few hundred rounds of bullets.

However, under the training of the Revolutionary Party, the militia still had a certain degree of organization. At least, there was no big problem in defending the village. In a short period of time, the Revolutionary Party established a grassroots militia organization covering the surrounding areas of Batirila Island.

These militias soon showed their strength. At the beginning, they simply defended the village from the invasion of pirates. (Digression: With Roger's words, the Great Pirate Era arrived. The number of pirates going out to sea increased dramatically every day, and countless villages were deeply affected.

This is also the reason why the revolutionary party was able to form a militia organization so smoothly when it arrived in Nanhai without any foundation. This is also mutually beneficial for the local people.)

Although this was enough to satisfy the local people, Lee and Crow were not satisfied with it. In order to cope with future challenges, the militia that simply defended themselves would not be able to cope.

Soon, under Li's plan and Crow's implementation, the revolutionary party organized all the militias in the controlled area and attacked the pirates, mercenaries and criminals in the controlled area.

It must be said that the organized masses are not easy to mess with. Before, they just lacked some ideas and guidance. After the arrival of the Revolutionary Party, the ordinary masses who were weak and predictable in the past became the warriors that the pirates avoided.

Those pirate organizations entrenched in the area were soon dealt a devastating blow. The only ones that could be considered troublesome were the roaming pirates.

Because the revolutionaries were unable to build good ships, apart from the warships coming from the West Sea, the revolutionaries could only rely on small sampans, which often could not keep up with the speed of the pirate ships.

The pirates who escaped became a big threat to the base. In desperation, Crow led the only large ship to chase them.

"We've spotted the pirate ship, set sail and chase them at full speed. For the safety of the people, we must not let these pirates go." Crow encouraged everyone on the ship.

In this way, after chasing for a whole day, the warships purchased by the revolutionaries at a huge cost were still superior, and the pirate ship could not hold on.

"Report, the pirate ship has abandoned its cargo and increased its speed. It looks like it is going to stop at the port ahead." The observer in charge of Ding Shao reported.

"Well, where is that? Let's go over there too." asked the crow.

A local militiaman who had just joined the group and served as a guide came up to Crow, pointing at the map and saying, "Report, we and the pirates are both in this sea area. That port should be... the Kingdom of Solbe!"
