From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 9 Do you believe in One Piece?

Admittedly, Logia-type Devil Fruit users have an invincible advantage in the West Blue, where users of Haki are scarce.

The only way to control it is with seastone and seawater, which contain P.

However, the domineering aura, which originates from the heart, is controlled by the body, and manifests as a technique, can grasp the physical form of a natural type.

However, similarly, Logia-type Devil Fruit users who possess Observation Haki can also tear open the point on their body that is about to be hit just before the attack arrives, resulting in a miss.

Clearly, this guy, who doesn't even know what Haki is and thinks that Logia-type abilities can ignore all attacks, is completely ignorant about Observation Haki.

In this situation, Kevin's barely usable Armament Haki was enough to catch him.

"Ah!! You naval lackey!"

The pirate, who had transformed into a swamp, turned and attacked Kevin, but was instead punched directly in the face.

The entity was hit, and four teeth mixed with blood splattered out, causing it to fall flat on its back.

While unconscious, he struggled to lift his head and look at his companions who had run away: "Help...help me! You bunch of trash..."

Kevin walked past him, kicked his head off, broke his neck, and absorbed his soul.

His companions, who had already run far away, looked at each other but showed no intention of stopping.

People who gather together for the purpose of plunder will never be partners from the start; they are just a disorganized mob.

Kevin continued his pursuit.

As they approached the port, a man standing at the bow of the ship, with pupils like an eagle's, drew his knife toward the harbor.

"Who are you, you bastard? How did you get on our ship?"

Behind Hawkeye, several men pulling the sails roared angrily.

However, Hawkeye didn't even turn his head and said directly, "Hitch a ride with us, and your escape will be much smoother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the cross-shaped broadsword in his hand.

In an instant, a massive slash hurtled towards the port, even churning up the sea surface as if it were about to cleave the island in two.

The navy personnel who had just been aiming their guns were now frozen in place.

Is such power truly something that humans can possess?

"boom!"

A golden light shot straight down from afar, its impact sending all the oncoming waves crashing back.

The blue light exploded, shattering Hawkeye's slash.

The figure of a great general from the Warring States period appeared at the port, and the navy's morale soared once again.

When he was on the execution platform, the crowd gathered below included not only pirates but also many civilians from Loguetown, so he was unable to intervene.

Now, those already worthless scum have been killed or arrested, and those who left can no longer all be brought down.

However, the pirate who escaped Loguetown didn't actually care. What he cared about was the changes in the world of pirates after today.

The Great Treasure One Piece will become the target of all ambitious people in the world from today onwards, and this ocean is about to be engulfed in towering waves!

All of this was because of a single sentence the man uttered before he died.

The original plan was completely ruined because of this sentence.

"Kevin, is it?"

"General."

Do you believe that the One Piece, the great treasure Roger spoke of, truly exists?

Exists? Exists my foot!

What kind of treasure could a pirate crew that's penniless and focused on adventure possibly have that they'd leave behind in Laugh Tale?

Furthermore, if the Roger Pirates truly possessed countless treasures, why would they store them on the so-called final island? Could they even have children there?

The final island, Laugh Tale, may hold many secrets of this world, such as its hidden history, the giant straw hat in Pangaea, and the true origin and will of D...

And the experience of the former losers who overthrew the world.

But there is absolutely no treasure!

"Whether it exists or not, Admiral, while the whole world believes the One Piece is there, the number of pirates will increase exponentially year by year."

Kevin let out a breath: "The true Great Pirate Era was ushered in because of that man's words."

Sengoku frowned and remained silent; he too was aware of the outcome.

The reason I asked Kevin was simply to hear the conclusion I least wanted to hear from the little guy.

……

Three days later, the town of Loguetown, which had been in an uproar over Roger's execution, returned to calm.

The pirates who were initially interested in Kevin's head because of his status as the executioner quickly lost interest after Roger's dying words.

For all pirates now, nothing is more appealing than One Piece.

then……

Port of Rogge.

Kuzan's expression was somewhat complicated.

"So he refused?"

The major standing next to him was also surprised: "No navy officer should refuse an opportunity to study at headquarters, but that guy was very decisive."

Kuzan placed a hand on his eyepatch over his forehead: "So what does he plan to do next? Be an executioner at the Loguetown branch?"

As if remembering something, Storoberry's eyelids twitched: "He's going back to Rasgap Town in the West Sea to continue guarding the entrance to Upside Down Mountain, and..."

The scene from that time replayed in Strawberry's mind. He was clearly unambitious, yet he could still make even a great general of the Warring States period feel gratified. That was quite a skill.

"An era of pirate madness and rampage is coming. The Grand Line needs a Navy that upholds justice, but the four seas also need the protection of justice."

"Even the Pirate King Roger started out as just a boy in Loguetown who had never set sail. Upholding justice in the name of Rasgrove is just as important as becoming a Marine elite at Marine Headquarters."

Such an awareness of justice seems completely out of place for a private first class in the West Sea branch.

Furthermore, the Sengoku general was also present at the time, and his fighting prowess, demonstrated by his pursuit of the pirates below the platform during the execution, had already caught the general's attention.

This additional statement led the Sengoku general to personally grant Private Kevin's request to return to the West Sea to continue guarding the town of Lasgap.

After Strawberry finished speaking, Kuzan rubbed his forehead. So, Mr. Sengoku wanted to see what this young man was thinking?

Whether he takes shortcuts or truly upholds justice, he is only fifteen years old and has a long time to grow.

Roger has already started the Great Pirate Era. Ten or twenty years later, the Navy will truly be put to the test.

Kevin is just one of the Navy's future prospects that are being watched.

"In that case, let's go back to headquarters."

Kuzan turned and boarded the warship that had been prepared, and the image of Lomi flashed through his mind.

So this little guy didn't inherit Lomi's sense of justice?
