The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The next morning, Raven got up immediately after a good rest. She wanted to take a good walk around the base and find the answer to what she was thinking.

The other people on the merchant ship also got up. Unlike the leisurely Riven, the crew members were busy today. They would try to sell some goods on the island, or see if they could purchase some specialties on the island.

Of course, the old captain who had an argument with the staff yesterday did not join in. It seemed that what happened yesterday made him a little depressed, so these matters will be handled by the first mate.

Raven also walked out of the room and was about to leave. However, before leaving, Raven thought about it and decided to take one more person with him.

Raven rushed into the old captain's room and called out the old captain who was in a daze thinking.

Under Raven's strong request, the old captain had no choice but to agree to her request and visit the base controlled by the revolutionaries with her.

According to Raven, "It's best to witness everything with your own eyes. Without investigation, you have no right to speak."

The old captain pondered over what Raven said and thought it made sense, so the two of them wandered around the island. For the captain, it was a day off, a chance to relax from the stress he had accumulated since sailing.

The two started their tour from the port, which was quite prosperous. The merchant ships that had arrived earlier were now transporting goods down to the island to sell. Before entering the island, they stopped at the toll booth and paid the taxes they were supposed to pay before continuing on.

At this time, the old captain who was observing nearby opened his eyes wide and checked the entire process of collecting taxes on goods, as if he wanted to take in all the details.

Raven could understand, after all, the old captain's life experience had led to his Waterloo here. He must be very eager to get the factory back now, and his expression seemed to be determined to find loopholes in the process before he would give up.

After a while, in Raven's eyes, the old captain's observation had become somewhat powerless. It seemed that he still hadn't found any evidence. Raven's expression also became meaningful.

At this time, the old captain's eyes seemed to become dry. He quickly retracted his gaze, squinted, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Raven's meaningful expression.

The old captain suddenly gave a helpless smile, he really hadn't found any evidence, the toll station had been collecting taxes in accordance with what the revolutionary army members had said before, only 2% of the taxes.

As for those gangsters or thugs who existed everywhere and followed the unspoken rules as he said, there was no trace of them at all.

The fairness of the toll station set up by the revolutionaries at the port was beyond the old captain's expectations. He had never seen this anywhere else.

"Perhaps the port's performance is just to deal with people outside. We still have to look at the real situation on the island. Let's go around the island now." The captain's old voice sounded.

Raven didn't comment, but this was her plan of action, so the two of them left the port and headed towards the town deep inside the island.

When entering the town, there were more people, and the streets were bustling with traffic and people. The surrounding shops were also very prosperous, and there were sailors on the ship selling goods on the street.

The two of them were also observing this peaceful scene, and Raven couldn't help but sigh, "I really miss it. This is a town with normal conditions."

After leaving the revolutionary party's base in the South China Sea and going to other places where there were no revolutionaries, Raven realized the difference between the two sides. The ordinary life in the South China Sea before was actually a rare luxury in other waters.

Hearing Raven's sigh, the old captain couldn't help but curl his lips. He had traveled all over the country for so many years, and now he was half buried in the ground. How could he not know that this was a normal town? He could only see such a peaceful place in some remote towns of the member states.

He recalled the towns the merchant ship had encountered along the way. The bureaucrats in those places were ruthless and ruthless. Not to mention the gangsters everywhere. Those people were like hyenas. As long as you showed the slightest sign of fatigue, they could not help but come forward and bite everything.

He sighed and carefully observed the town in front of him. Bureaucrats? Apart from the toll booth, he had not seen anyone who could be called an official.

Gangs? There weren't even any thugs here. The only thing worth noting was the few soldiers carrying guns who seemed to be maintaining order. However, they gave people a strong sense of security.

After a brief observation, Raven saw that the old captain did not agree with her, so the two continued to go deeper. This time, Raven wanted to see what the revolutionary party government in the base was like. Speaking of which, she missed the people in the South China Sea base.

The old captain followed Raven and continued to walk around. He didn't know where Raven was going. The two of them wandered around and came to what looked like the town's administrative center.

This place is quite far away from the port, and it can even be said to be at the edge of the town. If you go any further, you will be out of the town.

When the two arrived here, unlike the lively situation in the old town, the hustle and bustle here was not lively.

In their opinion, the municipal district at this time could be described as a large construction site, with a large number of workers building a new town around the center of the town. The workers' shouts resounded through the sky, which also made Raven very excited.

This is a familiar scene, Raven thought, just like when he was in the South China Sea. As long as it is an area controlled by the Revolutionary Party, they will definitely continue to build. The situation of using towns as construction sites is very common in the base area of ​​the South China Sea.

Raven then walked into the party government building, and the old captain, who was shocked by the workers, followed subconsciously.

Unlike the outside world where there were no citizens, the inside of the city government was a different world. The service hall was packed with people, which surprised Raven and the old captain.

Therefore, under Raven's strong request, the old village chief had no choice but to line up. After a while, two people finally got in line. However, what surprised the old captain was that no one cut in line during this process, and everyone lined up quietly.

When it was their turn, Raven immediately pushed the old captain out, and the old captain had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his questions.

However, what the old captain did not expect was that the revolutionary party officials sitting in the city hall were surprisingly approachable and answered all his questions carefully. After that, they also explained to him in detail the preferential policies of the base for merchant ships.

After the old captain learned about it, he had a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the situation in the base. The mysterious veil of the base began to be revealed before his eyes.

Finally, the two left the city hall. Because they had been waiting in line for too long, they decided to return. Unlike Raven who wanted to revisit his old place, the old captain was obviously more shocked.

Raven looked at the old captain who was lost in thought, and remembered the book given to him by the revolutionaries. "It seems that someone will not sleep all night tonight." Raven thought to himself.
