March 18, 1511 (Sea Circle Calendar )
Morgans, hiding within the Sky Empire, also secretly controls the World Economy News Paper, regularly releasing various current affairs news to the world.
The News Coo that day devoted an entire page to the death of Garp the Hero of the Marines and the World Government's loss of another Affiliated Nation.
White Soil Island, Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
Dragon glanced at the newspaper in his hand, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes. However, he quickly composed himself and turned to Karasu, saying, "I need to go to the East Blue. For the next few months, headquarters will be in your hands."
"Chief, be careful." Karasu knew about the relationship between Dragon and Garp, which was why he reminded the other to be careful, and also to warn Dragon not to act rashly.
"I'll keep an eye on it. I'm entrusting headquarters to you."
The dragon transformed into a gust of wind and vanished from the underground room.
Karasu looked at the room after Dragon left, a hint of confusion and contemplation flashing in his eyes. As the commander of the North Army of the Revolutionary Army, he was not a simple person.
Of the five army commanders currently serving in the Revolutionary Army.
Although Ivankov is meticulous, she is psychologically disturbed. She only obeys the dragon and is single-mindedly hoping to establish a so-called new human kingdom.
South Army General Lindbergh was Mink Tribe, and although he was very intelligent, his intelligence leaned towards that of a scientist.
Although Bello Betty, the commander of the East Army, is very good at inciting others, his ability to incite Pump-Pump Fruit, rather than by his own instigating power to sway people.
The West Army Commander Morley, is Giant Tribe and also a transvestite. He is not good at strategy or thinking, but his combat strength and Devil Fruit ability are quite good.
Meanwhile, Karasu, the commander of the North Army, is currently the part-time chief of staff in the Revolutionary Army and one of the few Revolutionary Army members who has deeply considered revolutionary ideas.
It was precisely because he thought too much and saw too much that Karasu began to doubt his own understanding of the Revolutionary Army's core ideology.
In particular, the actions of Dragon, Ivankov, and Kuma have made Karasu re-examine the Revolutionary Army's ideology and begin to doubt whether the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon and others can truly change the world.
He took out a newspaper from his jacket; it was Noah's declaration of liberation, and he began to ponder it silently.
'Can you really change the world?'
'You could have easily infiltrated Mary Geoise and rescued Ginny, why did you choose to remain silent?...'
'Now that your father has been murdered, you've abandoned everything to return to the East Blue. In your heart, blood ties are indeed more important than camaraderie...'
Once a wise person begins to doubt, they easily fall into self-doubt, and the Karasu is in this state.
Clearly, the impact of Noah was not only physical, but more importantly, ideological.
Without comparison, Karasu might not have considered the Revolutionary Army's ideology or examined the actions of Dragon and others.
Now, with the Liberator Organization as a contrast, the Karasu is truly bewildered.
With Dragon's Logia Hurricane Fruit ability, combined with Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit and Morley's Push-Push Fruit, an open attack on Mary Geoise might not be enough, but a covert infiltration would have a high success rate.
After all, Fisher Tiger, who was of average strength, was able to climb up Mary Geoise with his bare hands, and with the secret help of Rayleigh and Shakky, he managed to escape from Mary Geoise unscathed with a large number of slaves.
There's no reason why a dragon and a bear working together couldn't take Ginny away.
Unfortunately, the dragon and the bear chose to remain patient.
The Liberator Organization hand, killed Fleet Admiral and heroes, and emptied the Affiliated Nation, making their actions seem meticulous and thorough.
Currently, the Affiliated Nation that have been captured by the Liberator Organization has reached as many as 26. Including the Affiliated Nation controlled by the Sky Empire and the Germa Kingdom, the World Government now only has 122 Affiliated Nation left.
As for the Revolutionary Army, it currently only has the Maka Baka Kingdom, a non- Affiliated Nation, plus a number of secret strongholds scattered throughout the four seas and the Grand Line.
The gap between the two sides was too large.
Karasu suspects that in a few more years, the Liberator Organization will be able to stand on equal footing with the World Government, while the Revolutionary Army is still biding its time.
Moreover, as Karasu born into slavery, he became increasingly skeptical of the dragon's model of overthrowing bad kings and supporting good ones.
This shift in thinking, like a virus, proliferated wildly in the Karasu' minds, and was simply unstoppable.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The wooden door creaked open slowly.
An ordinary-looking young man appeared at the door.
Karasu's hoarse voice slowly rang out. " Peter, is something the matter?"
" Army Commander, these are books that the World Economy News Paper has been secretly releasing these past few days. I bought a batch through Underworld channels, and I found that some of them might be sensitive. I'd like to have the leader review them." Peter handed the book list to the other party.
As the Karasu took the book list, it explained, "The leader has recently been away on business in other seas, so I'm temporarily in charge of the work at headquarters."
"I see." Peter nodded with a smile.
But as the Karasu looked at the book list in its hand, its expression began to change.
[Collection of Social Survey Reports of the East Blue Countries], [ The Celestial Dragons and the Aristocratic System ], [ The World Government's Governing Structure ], [ Five Volumes on Slaying Dragons], [ Quotations from Noah ], [ There Has Never Been a Savior ], [ The Republic 1600 ], [ Fight to the End!], [ The Sun and the Torch ], [ Charles IX, King of Utopia ], [ The Full Story of the God Valley Incident ], [ The Full Story of the Ohara Incident ]...
Peter the change in the Karasu's eyes, Peter quickly suggested, " Army Commander, should we prohibit the study of these books internally?"
Do you have a sample copy?
"Yes, we purchased ten sets of each book."
The Karasu solemnly ordered, "Alright, don't distribute it internally yet. Send it to me first; I want to study it and criticize its erroneous ideas."
"Truly worthy of being the captain of the Karasu Army Commander, I'll send it over immediately."
Half an hour later.
Peter carried a large box of books to the Karasu's office.
The Karasu returned to his own office from the dragon's office, and after dismissing Peter, he began to peruse the books.
Although he had previously learned about the ideology of the Liberator Organization, he did not have a deep understanding of it, mainly because he lacked relevant information.
Now that these books are available, the Karasu naturally wants to be the first to read them.
He first read [ The Five Volumes on Slaying Dragons ] and [ The Quotations from Noah ].
After reading all this, it was already more than ten days later.
Although the Karasu's eyes were bloodshot, it remained in a state of high spirits and had even filled a large notebook with reading notes.
Peter, who was criticizing these books with him, remained unchanged, still smiling, as if these books had no effect on him whatsoever.
The Karasu closed the last page, turned to Peter, and asked, " Peter, do you think these books should be forbidden for internal members to study?"
" Army Commander, how can we allow such erroneous books to corrupt the soldiers of our Revolutionary Army? They must be banned! All members must be solemnly informed that they must not buy or browse these banned books."
The Karasu closed its eyes. "You're right, these banned books should indeed be completely prohibited. Draft an internal notice in my name, requiring the headquarters and the five branches to strictly prohibit browsing and purchasing any books on the catalog."
"Yes, mission accomplished."
Go!
