Chapter 209 The So-Called Revolution
Chambord Islands, the gateway to the New World more than 200 years ago.
In the world of One Piece, there is a huge mangrove called the Alchiman mangrove. The so-called Chambord Islands are formed by its roots exposed on the water, which shows its hugeness.
More than 200 years ago, the Chambord Islands consisted of 79 trees. People numbered the Chambord Islands from 1 to 79 based on this standard. But today, 200 years later, the archipelago has shrunk a lot, leaving only 69 trees. No. 60 to 69 islands have all disappeared, because there used to be a naval station.
After escaping from Mary Joya, the three of Sean came here quietly, because this place is a truly illegal place.
More than 200 years ago, although the Chambord Islands were also known as illegal places, they still had a certain order because there was a naval base here. The so-called illegal places actually refer 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 built a house on them."
Compared with Mengka's silence, Yoder seemed much more active, especially after he escaped from the cage, he was curious about everything.
"It's quite amazing. Those bubbles are produced by the expansion of the air in the resin produced by the respiration of the roots of Alquiman mangrove."
Looking at the huge mangrove, Sean casually explained to Yoder that as a natural wizard, Sean is still very interested in the huge tree species of mangrove, although there are many huge trees in Boya World Tree species, but Sean has never encountered it.
"Let's go, let's find a place to live and get familiar with the situation."
After saying a word, Sean pressed the brim of his hat, squeezed into the crowd first, and disappeared into the sea of people. Monka and Youde looked at each other, followed closely, in order to avoid possible pursuit, at this moment Sean three Everyone does a certain amount of camouflage.
The Big Ax Tavern, after wandering around, the three of Sean stayed here.
In the current Chambord Islands, there are no hotels that specifically provide accommodation, only taverns that provide accommodation.
Sitting in the corner of the tavern relaxedly, ignoring the vague sights around him, Sean took a sip of the Rhapsody in 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 his wine glass, Sean picked up the thick stack of newspapers on the table and flipped through them carefully. Mary Gioia had been separated from this world for too long, and he needed to know more news.
And while Sean was reading the newspaper,
Mengka remained motionless, always alert to the possible dangers around him, while Yoder took small sips of the beer in his glass. Even though his throat hurt from irritation, the novelty of beer still made him unable to hold back once. Try again, he has never tasted this taste before.
As a tavern in a place of lawlessness, the Big Ax Tavern is naturally not a clean place. It is quite normal to drink and make trouble, but at this moment, no one dares to trouble the three of Xiao En, because those who dare to make trouble have already He fell to the ground, and Mengka just punched him before.
"Things seem to be more interesting than I thought."
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Sean's mouth outlined a beautiful arc.
Although the information in the newspaper is not systematic and has great limitations, combined with what Uranus told him, it still allowed Sean to understand some of the status quo of the world.
War is the prelude, chaos is the movement, all countries stand side by side, and the multi-power struggle for hegemony is the current world of One Piece.
Although the forces headed by the Revolutionary Army over 200 years ago successfully overthrew the world government and realized what they called a revolution, in fact this revolution was incomplete.
From the very beginning, the path of the revolutionary army was wrong. The reason why they were able to gather a powerful force in a short period of time was actually the hatred of these people for the world government, the Tianlong people, and even the nobles. The goal of the revolution seems to be clear, but in fact it is very vague, and there is no complete charter.
And when the world government was overthrown and the Tianlong people were trampled under their feet, the hearts of the revolutionary army were scattered, and they lost the goal of being united.
Especially in the later period of the war more than 200 years ago, a large number of kingdoms turned their backs one after another, leaving the world government and joining the ranks of the revolutionary army, which planted disasters for the disintegration of the revolutionary army.
It is true that the addition of these kingdoms has indeed greatly enhanced the strength of the Revolutionary Army, and even dealt a fatal blow to the World Government, but from the very beginning, these kingdoms did not join the Revolutionary Army because they agreed with the Revolutionary Army's philosophy. For the benefit, the revolutionary army at that time let them see the weakness of the world government, and let them see the hope of turning themselves into masters.
In fact, for these kingdoms that joined the Revolutionary Army under the leadership of the nobles, there are serious differences within the Revolutionary Army, because a considerable number of people join the Revolutionary Army because of hatred for the noble class, but this difference Overwhelmed by the imminent war at that time.
At that time, although the revolutionary army had improved in the battle with the world government, and even had an advantage in some places, it was still at a disadvantage overall. Without the infusion of new forces, they wanted to overthrow the world Government is near impossible, so they have no choice, they need more power.
In the end, after the confluence of the three powerful forces, the real revolutionary forces headed by the revolutionary army, the fake revolutionary forces led by the nobles, and the pirate forces responding to the call of Pirate King Luffy, the world government was finally overthrown, causing 800 years to suffer. The oppressed people finally got "freedom".
But what is ridiculous is that in this war under the banner of justice, the inherently chaotic and evil pirate forces are the main force that cannot be ignored.
After the war, the real 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. The future of the Revolutionary Army became uncertain.
The war was won and the goal was achieved. With the death of Drago, different voices within the Revolutionary Army gradually increased. Some of them insisted on adhering to the previous ideas, united multiple forces, and established a huge country of equality and freedom. , let all the people live a happy life, and some people have quietly changed their positions, frequently contacting the kingdom forces led by nobles, wanting to seek more benefits for themselves, or they want to betray their own class, became a member of the nobles that I hated in the past, and some of them saw the turbulent undercurrent within the revolutionary army and the nature of the quiet change, 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 devoured the achievements of the revolution, and secretly cleaned up some diehards in the revolutionary army. Since then, it has lasted more than 20 years, and millions of people have shed blood and sacrificed for it. The Revolutionary War came to an imperfect end, and the power of the kingdom became the biggest beneficiary. While gaining a lot of wealth, it also acquired many technologies left by the world government. Since then, it has embarked on a rapid development path. the way.
As for the pirates who came in response to the call of One Piece King Luffy, after the end of the war, they robbed Marie Gioia and then disappeared.
Although this force is powerful, they are all gathered from large and small pirate maps. Compared with the other two forces, their biggest shortcoming is their scatteredness. 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 gain a lot of wealth, they didn't actually get much.
In fact, if Luffy at that time was able to deter this group of pirates with his reputation as the One Piece King and integrate them, then perhaps the current world structure would have changed for it. Unfortunately, he did not do this, because from the bottom of his heart he Just not that kind of person.
After Dorag died in battle, after experiencing inner grief, Luffy set sail with his pirate group again and traveled around the world. He no longer had any thoughts about the World Government or the Revolutionary Army. Perhaps for a person like him, the sea is his destination.
