From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 21 The First Lesson

The Grand Line, Blackrock Island.

On the deserted island, a black streak of light flashed and disappeared.

The next moment, more than twenty figures appeared on the open ground.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, using the body's Haki as a connection, transported more than twenty people from the South China Sea to the Grand Line; the energy expenditure was manageable.

"This capability is certainly convenient, but do we really need to hold a meeting every six months?"

Dragon said, looking at Kevin, "The Revolutionary Army has only been established for six months, and currently we are the only cadres. Meeting with the core members above the rank of squad leader every six months is still too risky."

Kevin replied, "The location of each meeting is uncertain, and even you and I won't tell you. With my mobility, it only takes me a few minutes to gather everyone together."

Ivankov, who was standing nearby, then said, "So, Kai, that's why the Fire Seed always wears a mask... Uh, right, I shouldn't have said your name."

Kevin looked over: "From now on, everyone in the Revolutionary Army only needs to call me 'The Spark.' As for the verification method..."

A black substance fell from Kevin's hand, flowed from the ground to Ivankov's feet, and finally landed on the back of his hand.

Then Kevin reached out and swept his hand across, erasing the spatial coordinates.

"Even the power of the Teleportation Fruit cannot create such spatial coordinates."

Kevin, wearing a white mask, glanced at the core members of the Revolutionary Army following behind him.

From this day forward, the name Kevin will never be mentioned again. As a spark of revolution, he must fulfill his duty to spread the flame.

……

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the center of the open space.

Kevin looked at everyone, and Ginny, as the recorder, had also prepared paper and pen.

Kevin then wrote two words on the ground with a stick: Oppression.

"Six months ago, when I met with Mr. Dragon, I mentioned that the revolutionary army needs to have its own core ideology and a firm will."

"We need to know why we are rebelling, and why we are revolutionizing! Whose revolution are we fighting for!"

Kevin looked at everyone: "Now I need you to tell me about the oppression you have suffered, or the oppression you have witnessed in this world."

Scattered around, seven or eight people looked up at Kevin.

This was their first encounter with the spark of revolution. In the six months since the revolutionary army was founded, they chose to rebel because of the flames of hatred.

But as time passes and they calm down, they begin to think of the colossal World Government. Under such pressure, they need new power.

At this moment, Dragon also discovered the fear in the hearts of this core group.

Ultimately, the Self-Reliant Army and the Revolutionary Army are simply different names; they are entirely different concepts.

But does Kevin's method really work?

"I……"

Suddenly, Big Bear's voice rang out. As the largest person present, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"call……"

Kuma glanced at Ginny, exhaled, and said, "I am a member of the Bakania race. You may not have heard of me, but in the eyes of the World Government, this race can only be enslaved or wiped out."

"And I was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons, just fifteen years ago. Not only me, but my father was also a Bakania, and although my mother wasn't, they were both captured and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons."

"In Mary Geoise, the reason I was able to keep going every day was the story my father told me, the story of Nika, the sun god."

"But later, Mr. Fireseed told me that a story is just a story, and if you want to change this unreasonable fate, you have to fight for it and start a revolution!"

At this point, Kuma raised his head slightly to look at everyone: "You may have all heard of the Celestial Dragons' slaves, but the experience on Mary Geoise was far more cruel than you can imagine. They never treated slaves as human beings."

"All life on this ocean is a toy to them. Insults, crawling, whipping, torture... even experiments with Devil Fruits."

"Eating two Devil Fruits will lead to death; I've witnessed it with my own eyes. At the time, they were happily discussing this topic, and the only ones who died were slaves."

As soon as he finished speaking, Big Bear lowered his head again.

Ginny, who was standing next to him, placed her hand on the back of his hand.

Is it because he was a Bakania that he was unwilling to accept her marriage proposal after witnessing the tragedy of his parents?

"Is there anything else?"

Kevin asked.

After a long silence, a boy raised his hand: "Me! Our country couldn't afford to pay the Heavenly Gold, so my family got poorer and poorer, and eventually, we were attacked by the allied nations. My father and mother were killed! The country was gone too, and the king, who used to distribute food to the children, was also... hanged after pleading not to harm his people."

Then, more than twenty people began to recount their experiences.

The majority of those who lost their families because of the Heavenly Gold were former slaves, and seven were plundered by pirates.

Clearly, 99% of the pirates in this world are vicious and ruthless.

Kevin, who stays in the town of Lasgap, rarely sees any pirates who set sail for their dreams throughout the year.

After everyone had finished speaking, Kevin finally said, "For the World Government, a balance between pirates and the Navy is necessary for them to collect the enormous Celestial Gold. Without pirates, no country would be willing to pay such a huge protection fee."

"Now I need you to know that if you do not resist, your future, or rather your future generations, will endlessly repeat this path."

"Being crushed by the heavenly gold, robbed and killed by pirates, captured and sold into slavery while searching for a way out at sea... This is the foreseeable future, and also the future of your descendants."

At this point, Kevin stood up, pointing his wooden stick at two characters on the ground: Oppression.

"The largest group in this world consists of us, those at the bottom of society, who have been oppressed generation after generation, just as our ancestors were!"

"If we don't resist, we might be able to eke out a living, living like corpses, starving every day. Until one day, we're drained of everything, and our descendants will still take over."

"In the end... they all died, dying insignificantly, like a speck of dust."

Kevin wrote two characters after the oppression in the countryside: Revolution

"Therefore... we are revolutionizing for our own future, for all the oppressed to live freely!"

Kevin looked at the boy who had spoken first: "Ah Hu, right?"

The boy immediately raised his hand and stood up: "Yes, Mr. Fireseed."

Kevin began, "After the Revolutionary Army helped you, your country was reclaimed. But tell me, what will your future hold?"
