The second objective was to find Luo and have him join the Blood Sword Pirates as their ship's doctor.
Unfortunately, even after dispatching hundreds of thousands from the Freedom Alliance to search, there was still no news of Luo. Ryan gazed northward and waited for the results.
The next day, Jinbe arrived at Ryan's residence with a stack of plans. Ryan carefully flipped through them and wore a satisfied expression.
Jinbe's plan called for the Freedom Alliance to continue developing under its current model. Rather than carrying out sweeping reforms, it would simply rely on the Germa Kingdom to develop faster.
Ryan was truly pleased with this, because the Freedom Alliance was different from other organizations and factions. Its foundation lay with the common people. If they merely wanted to expand their power, then by joining forces with the Germa Kingdom, unifying the North Blue would be within reach.
But what would be the point of unifying the North Blue? The moment the Freedom Alliance did that, it would have changed in nature. During the process of unifying the North Blue, it would inevitably have to violate some of the Freedom Alliance's fundamental principles. That was not the Freedom Alliance Ryan wanted, because its purpose would then become the pursuit of power.
Ryan wanted to change this world from its roots, and the Freedom Alliance was the fulcrum. If even that fulcrum betrayed its original purpose, then had this world truly changed at all?
In Ryan's eyes, that would merely be a unified world; the things at its roots would remain unchanged. All his efforts would have been in vain.
Jinbe had not chosen the shortcut. Instead, he would follow their original purpose and change the world bit by bit.
That was good!
"Very good. Do it this way!" Ryan
