Chapter 209 The So-Called Revolution

The Chambord Islands were the gateway to the New World more than 200 years ago.

In the world of One Piece, there is a huge mangrove called Alkiman mangrove. The so-called Shampoo Islands are formed by its roots exposed on the water, which shows how huge it is.

More than 200 years ago, the Chambord Islands were composed of 79 trees. People used this as a standard to number the Chambord Islands, from 1 to 79. However, today, 200 years later, the Islands have shrunk a lot, with only 69 trees remaining. A mangrove tree, and the former islands 60 to 69 have all disappeared, because it used to be a naval station.

After escaping from Mariejoia, Sean and the three came here quietly, because this place is a real lawless place.

More than 200 years ago, although the Chambord Islands were also known as a lawless land, they actually still had a certain degree of order because there was a naval base here. The so-called lawless land actually specifically refers to islands 1 to 29, but Today, 200 years later, this place has become a veritable place of lawlessness.

"Boss, those bubbles are so beautiful. It's amazing that someone actually built a house on them."

Compared to Mengka's silence, Yoder seemed much more active, especially since he had just escaped from the cage. He was curious about everything.

"It's quite magical. Those bubbles are caused by the air expansion of the resin produced by the respiration of the roots of the mangrove tree."

Looking at the huge mangrove, Sean casually explained to Yoder. As a natural wizard, Sean is still very interested in huge tree species like mangroves. Although there are many huge tree species in the world of Boya. Tree species, but Sean has not encountered them.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first and get familiar with the situation."

After saying a word, Sean lowered the brim of his hat, took the lead in squeezing into the crowd, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people. Mengka and Yoder looked at each other, followed closely behind. In order to avoid possible pursuit, Sean three Everyone puts on a certain disguise.

After wandering around the Big Ax Tavern, the three of them stayed here.

There are no hotels specifically providing accommodation in the Shampoo Islands today, only taverns that provide accommodation.

Sitting comfortably in the corner of the tavern, turning a blind eye to the vague sights around him, Sean took a sip of the Rhapsody of the Night recommended by the boss, and then frowned slightly. This kind of wine was too strong and not suitable for him. taste.

Putting down the wine glass, Sean picked up the thick stack of newspapers on the table and looked through it carefully. Mary Joa had been isolated from the world for too long, and he needed to know more news.

While Sean was reading the newspaper,

Mengka remained motionless, always alert to possible dangers around him, while Yoder took small sips of the beer in the cup. Even though the irritation made his throat sore, the novelty of beer still made him unable to resist. Trying it again, he had never tasted this taste before.

As a tavern in a lawless place, the Big Ax Tavern is naturally not a clean place. It is completely normal to drink and cause trouble. However, at this moment, no one dares to cause trouble for Sean and the others, because those who dare to cause trouble have already He fell to the ground, but Mengka had only punched before.

"Things seem more interesting than I thought."

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Sean's mouth formed a nice curve.

Although the information in the newspaper was not systematic and had great limitations, combined with some of the situations Ouranos told him, Sean still understood some of the current situation of the world.

War is the prelude, chaos is the music, countries stand side by side, and many powers compete for hegemony, which is the current world of One Piece.

Although the forces headed by the Revolutionary Army successfully overthrew the World Government more than 200 years ago and realized what they called a revolution, in fact this revolution was incomplete.

The revolutionary army has been on the wrong path from the beginning. The reason why they were able to gather a powerful force in a short period of time actually relied on their hatred for the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, and even the nobles. The revolutionary goal seems clear, but in fact it is very vague and does not have a complete charter.

When the World Government was overthrown and the Celestial Dragons were trampled under their feet, the hearts of the revolutionary army dispersed, and they lost the goal of uniting.

Especially in the later stages of the war more than 200 years ago, a large number of kingdoms broke away from the World Government and joined the ranks of the Revolutionary Army, which paved the way for the disintegration of the Revolutionary Army.

It is true that the joining of these kingdoms has indeed greatly enhanced the power of the Revolutionary Army and even dealt a fatal blow to the World Government. However, from the beginning, these kingdoms did not join the Revolutionary Army because they agreed with the ideas of the Revolutionary Army. Everything was For the sake of profit, the revolutionary army at that time showed them the weakness of the world government and gave them hope of turning over and calling the shots.

In fact, for these kingdoms that joined the revolutionary army under the leadership of the nobles, there were serious differences within the revolutionary army, because a large number of people joined the revolutionary army because of their hatred of the noble class, but this kind of disagreement He was overwhelmed by the imminent war at that time.

At that time, although the revolutionary army had made progress in the battle against the world government, and even had an advantage in some places, it was still in a disadvantageous position overall. Without the infusion of new power, they wanted to overthrow the world. The government is next to impossible, so they have no choice, they need more power.

Finally, after the confluence of three powerful forces: the real revolutionary forces headed by the revolutionary army, the fake revolutionary forces in the kingdom led by the nobles, and the pirate forces who responded to the call of Pirate King Luffy, the World Government was finally overthrown, leaving 800 years of suffering. The oppressed people were finally "free".

But what is ridiculous is that in this war under the banner of justice, the inherently chaotic and evil pirate force is the main force that cannot be ignored.

After the war, the true revolutionary forces headed by the Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses. Even the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dorag, died in the hands of Im, which should have made the world brighter after the war. The future of the revolutionary army became uncertain.

The war was victorious and the goal was achieved. With the death of Dorag, different voices within the revolutionary army gradually increased. Some of them insisted on adhering to the previous concepts, united multiple forces, and established a huge country of equality and freedom. , so that all people can live a happy life, and some people quietly changed their stance and frequently contacted the kingdom forces led by the nobles, wanting to seek more benefits for themselves, or they wanted to betray their own class, became a member of the aristocracy that they hated in the past, and some saw the undercurrent and the nature of quiet changes within the revolutionary army, and chose to retreat bravely and break away from the revolutionary army. Such a choice seemed helpless, but no matter what Said their original idea had been achieved.

The revolutionary army fell apart, and the kingdom's fake revolutionary army led by the nobles took advantage of the situation to swallow up the achievements of the revolution, and carried out a covert purge of some die-hard elements in the revolutionary army. Since then, it has lasted more than 20 years, and millions of people have shed blood and sacrificed their lives. The Revolutionary War came to an imperfect end, and the Kingdom's forces became the biggest beneficiaries. While gaining a large amount of wealth, they also obtained many technologies left by the World Government. Since then, they have embarked on a path of rapid development. the way.

As for the pirates who responded to the call of Pirate King Luffy, they dispersed after plundering Mariejoia after the war.

Although this force is powerful, they are all gathered together by large and small pirates. Compared with the other two forces, their biggest shortcoming is their dispersion. Of course, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is As the Pirate King, Luffy did not try to control them, so in this war, although the pirates were powerful and seemed to have gained a lot of wealth, they actually did not gain much.

In fact, if Luffy at that time could use his reputation as the Pirate King to intimidate these pirates and integrate them, then maybe the current world structure would have changed. It is a pity that he did not do this, because from the bottom of his heart, he Just not that kind of person.

After Dorag died in the battle, Luffy experienced inner grief and set sail again with his pirate group to travel around the world. He no longer had any thoughts about the World Government or the Revolutionary Army. Perhaps for people like him, the sea is his destination.
