Dragon truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
He had carefully considered both the long-term picture and the Revolutionary Army's future development.
Perhaps, to outsiders, the Revolutionary Army was no different from a pirate crew. They were all a bunch of bandits, only the Revolutionary Army had a clearer goal.
That goal was to overthrow the World Government.
But to those who played politics, the two were worlds apart.
Why did the World Government want to wipe out the Revolutionary Army so badly, both now and in the future, placing even more importance on it than on pirates? After all, pirates were the norm in this world.
Yet the Revolutionary Army was what the World Government feared most.
Because the Revolutionary Army was an organized, disciplined rebel force, an organization dedicated to overthrowing, subverting, and replacing the World Government. If pirates were a scattered pile of sand, then the Revolutionary Army was a rope—a very, very thick rope.
If allowed to grow, sooner or later it would bind the World Government hand and foot, then take its place.
That was an entirely different matter from pirate crews who killed, looted, and had no fixed home.
Dragon had never concerned himself with things that would only last for a moment. The Revolutionary Army was an organized force, and for an organized force to grow strong and endure, it needed more than just talent, money, and supplies. It also needed territory and room to develop.
What did development involve?
People's livelihoods, technology, order, and so on.
There were far too many things to consider and worry about. It wasn't like a pirate crew, which only used force to rule a patch of land or killed and looted in pursuit of some so-called dream.
