"Oh, time really flies by. It's a pity that you are leaving now."
The mayor spoke in a hypocritical manner, but deep down in his heart he wished they could arrive at the South China Sea Federation the next day so that he could start working and earn money earlier.
Chapter 232 Ninja Revolution
The journey back was still not peaceful, with endless pirates appearing one after another.
It was the first time for Frankie and the others to encounter such a scene. It turned out that the sea was like this, with constant fighting. In the past few days, they encountered more than one group of pirates.
"Don't worry. The World Government's plan to recruit the Seven Warlords of the Sea has caused a lot of buzz recently. There are always some confused guys wandering around without even thinking about whether they are strong enough. Just leave it to Tyzog and the others."
Noah casually comforted the people who were away from the Seven Waters City for the first time.
In fact, Franky was not worried at all, and was even a little eager to try, it was too exciting. He only saw the diplomat madly beating the pirates with his fists as big as sandbags, and kicking them like balls, and the girl who had been silent all the time was holding a sword to finish off all the pirates lying on the ground, and her technique was very capable.
After killing everyone, the two men carefully looted all the money on the ship, even Gold Fang was not spared, and finally blew up the pirate ship.
After this set of smooth and smooth operations, the judgment will be is professionalism?Tactical lean back.
Taizog and Kuina, carrying the large package, returned to the Voyager to report to Noah.
"The total is less than 100 million berries, and several pirate ships have been hit by this. It seems that the employment prospects of the pirate profession are really bad. The average income of the bottom tier is not even 5 berries, and it is not stable.
Moreover, there is little room for promotion. At best, you can be a small captain, and the competitive pressure you face is also very high.
The most important thing is that the pressure of survival will become greater and greater under the suppression of the navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If the sea is not more distorted, this deformed product will not be born at all. "
Taizog discussed various issues concerning the pirate profession with Kuina in a serious manner.
Noah, who heard this, also interjected.
"Your thinking is incomplete. For one thing, the entry threshold for pirates is very low. Any normal person can be a pirate with a knife. When I was traveling around the world, some pirates who had just set out to sea did not even have a complete set of knives. Many of them still used forks and sticks.
Secondly, the lower limit of pirates is low, but the upper limit is not low. There are also many dragons and snakes among the grass. Don't underestimate them. Domineering qualifications and physical talents are difficult to change, but there are still devil fruits in the sea. If you try hard, you will have a way to success.
In addition, many of the reasons for the high pressure of survival are caused by our revolutionary army. In the past few years, every major incident in Mary Geoise was a purge of this industry.
Finally, when living is difficult, being a pirate is the only way to survive."
Everyone thought about it and realized that this was the truth. If there was a better life, only a few people would be willing to go to the sea to seek their fortune.
"So we still need to continue to vigorously fight against pirates?"
"Of course, the first step for most pirates when they go out to sea is to abandon their conscience and attack the weak. They don't have the courage to attack the strong, such as those who force them to live.
Our goal is to strike down guys like these and restore stability to the sea. To some extent, there is some overlap between our routes and those of the navy.
It’s just that we are fighting the World Government and pirates together.”
Listening to Noah's explanation, Tom also became interested. It was just an accident that he was too involved with the revolutionary army. Now that he was going to their lair, it would not hurt to ask.
"So if Roger was still in this world, what would you do?"
In Tom's eyes, Roger was the most respectable sea man he had ever met.
"If he retires, I won't care about him. If he still wanders the seas as the Pirate King, he must be arrested. The profession of pirate is wrong, and the king of pirates does not need to exist. Don't forget that his reputation as the Pirate King is not earned by doing good deeds."
Tom shut up. This guy is really like what the World Government said, the enemy of the world. Everyone is his enemy.
Franky's reaction was that Noah was so cool, and that young people were different from others by challenging authority. What is authority? One Piece and the World Government are authority.
Even if he is an iceberg, he is still a young man at this time. Although he looks steady, he is also very restless inside. In the original book, he only really calmed down after experiencing Tom's death.
Seeing Franky and Bingshan chatting around Noah, Tom felt a little sad. Although the men in the sea should go to their careers without hesitation, joining the Revolutionary Army is really not a good enemies on all sides and overthrowing the world is a matter of life.
But what can be done? Noah’s actions cannot be regarded as wrong, or even very correct. He is just walking on a road full of thorns.
Along the way, Noah did not take action, but just told stories to the young people. In his opinion, Franky and Iceberg in front of him are the future leaders in the field of science and technology of the revolutionary army. It is very important to reshape their world outlook at this time.
It is not enough to teach young people about reasoning. It is boring and tedious. It would be too embarrassing for a great writer to force reasoning on them.
It is necessary to integrate the truth into the story, so that the subtle influence can be effective. As it happens, Noah has a lot of stories. As it happens, he is very good at making magical changes.
A few years ago, Noah had told them the story of Prince Naruto. Just the first episode left a deep impression on them. Now, since they wanted to listen, they continued to listen to Noah's specially made, new version of the story of the Ninja Revolution.
In the story, Naruto is either a prince or a commoner of grassroots origin. The demon fox was sealed in his body just by chance. The children of other big families were unwilling to sacrifice, so they had to seal the demon fox in the body of this powerless baby.
Naruto, who accidentally learned the truth because of Mizuki's rebellion, did not betray his village. Instead, he continued to learn and improve, made contributions to the village, hoping to gain everyone's recognition with his enthusiasm.
But while gaining superficial recognition, he was still monitored and guarded by the village's top leaders. After countless oppressions, Naruto finally couldn't bear it anymore and started a revolution in the ninja world.
In the story, Naruto also met several like-minded friends. There was Sasuke, a proud and arrogant man who rebelled against his family in order to break the bloodline theory. There was Sakura, a girl of commoner origin but with extraordinary talent. Together, they ventured into the ninja world and defeated powerful enemies one after another.
He also received help from his predecessors in the ninja world, including the great scientist Orochimaru, who was both his teacher and friend, the ancient hero Jiraiya, and the great-looking older sister Tsunade.
With the help of many knowledgeable people in the ninja world who could not tolerate traditional rule, they finally broke the corrupt ninja world.
Chapter 233 If It Weren't For These Experiences
"Finally, Naruto became the first speaker of the Shinobi Federation, ending hundreds of years of conflict between nations and bringing a perfect end to this world."
wow~~~
Franky and Iceberg both had stars in their eyes. This Naruto was the person they longed to be. He had experienced so many ups and downs since childhood, but he still didn't give up hope. He also made so many friends on the way to growing up, and finally achieved success. It was so touching.
Frankie, who has always been very unrestrained in his emotional control, cried several times. Some scenes are really too touching.
For example, in the war, in order to fight against the big villains summoned by the leaders of various countries, Mr. Thick Eyebrows sacrificed himself for the victory of the revolution and severely injured the villains. He also left a sentence, saying that hard-working geniuses are not short-lived and left the world.
In the end, there was a grand display of sacrifices, and even the little brother Iceberg shed tears.
Although Tom felt that this story was a bit strange, as every world was in revolution, it was very interesting just from the perspective of the story. The spirit in it was also positive.
Noah also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been constantly changing the plot these days, and he had forgotten all the previous settings while talking about them. He had to quickly recall them and continue talking. It was too difficult.
In fact, later on, he referred to the plots of Sailor Moon and Iron Warriors, using sacrifice to exchange for victory, and slightly pointed out that victory was forged with the blood of everyone, even Naruto had to survive many times. This ending is more in line with reality.
We have just arrived at the South China Sea, so let's end it quickly. I really can't go on. I can't talk about Naruto's son~ that would be a shame.
While telling the story, Noah himself thought about it and realized that it was a good thing that he did not travel to the Naruto world. The survival crisis there was more dangerous than in the One Piece world, and the price of gaining power was higher.
When he traveled to the world of One Piece, he didn't think about revolution at first. What he wanted more was to succeed in his training, travel the sea, and explore what the great secret treasure was.
It was also forced by the times that he was involved in the darkest side of this world as soon as he came to this world. It was also after O'Hara was redeemed that he awakened his true power and brought red thoughts to the sea.
If his first stop in this world was Windmill Village or other peaceful villages, he would not have embarked on this journey. What a twist of fate.
After entering the South China Sea, Tom clearly felt that the environment here was much better than the Grand Line, not in terms of the natural environment, but in terms of the security environment. There were basically no pirates, and the few pirate ships that were occasionally seen were all fleeing for their lives, and I didn't know why.
Noah gave a clear answer to this question. Pirates are a relatively scarce resource in the South China Sea. Building the South China Sea Federation requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Material resources can be bought with money, but human resources are difficult to obtain. Ordinary families are short of manpower now. Because the South China Sea Federation is promoting universal education, all minors are sent to school, and it is considered good if they can find time to help their families with simple work.
Before this, many countries were still in the traditional farming era, and industry and commerce were not that developed. In addition, there were few means of production related to civilian farming, so the labor force could not be liberated.
The South China Sea Federation is moving very fast this time in terms of liberating the labor force. The main reason is that this world does not lack means of production and productivity is very high. It’s just that the world government has deliberately created barriers so that ordinary people can do nothing but low-end output.
This may make it easier to rule, as civilians will always be civilians. Occasionally, someone who breaks through the class will be absorbed and assimilated and become one of the oppressors.
In the early days of the Nanhai Federation, after the land reform, the ideological reform also continued. Compared with the land reform, the ideological reform was more difficult. After all, the distribution of land was a benefit, and people were very willing to accept it and were very positive.
But the education reform is to let each family set aside one or more laborers, and they are unwilling to do so. Noah will not tolerate this. When there are benefits, they are fine, but when there are no benefits, they want to follow the old calendar. How can that be possible?
Sometimes it is like this, it does not mean that a good policy will necessarily be followed. If it does not conform to short-term interests, there will be too many people who oppose it, and Noah understands this.
They were all civilians with traditional ideas. They couldn't force them to study. In the end, they had to use benefits to lure them. They first set an example, then gave them some benefits, such as tax exemptions and rewards, and then distributed some advanced agricultural equipment.
In this way, it was gradually promoted. Coupled with some easy-to-understand plays by the South China Sea Touring Troupe, people understood the Federation's painstaking efforts.
Let's talk about the pirates in the South China Sea. Most of them became pirates after they could no longer survive. Now they have land, people and books to study, so who would risk their lives for nothing? This has created a gap in the new generation. The South China Sea is supported by the 20 countries. Once the 20 countries are digested, the pirates in the South China Sea will really have no way to survive.
Now that infrastructure has been rolled out, some large projects are in dire need of manpower. Either you spend money to recruit workers, but this has been tried and there are not enough people. Ordinary people are unwilling to go overseas to work.
Then we have to think of other labor forces, such as these pirates running around. It is just a daily training. After finding them, we will directly encircle and suppress them, and if we can capture them alive, we must capture them alive.
Those who committed serious crimes were all executed, and those who did not commit serious crimes were all forced to work as laborers. Because of their criminal status, they were paid very little, and when their sentences were completed, their wages for all those years were paid in one lump sum, allowing them to return to their hometowns and start a new life.
Noah fought for the idea of paying labor remuneration to prisoners. Labor reform is crucial, and they will have to re-enter society after serving their sentences.
With such careful consideration, the South China Sea Federation launched a vigorous pirate elimination operation, which was more active than the navy. This made Zefa very depressed. After cleaning up the South China Sea branch, he was preparing to do a big job and let these newly promoted cadres fight more and make more contributions. As a result, the pirates were still hard to find.
In the past, you could run into them just by going out, but now you have to rely on the intelligence system to arrest them. The South China Sea Federation was particularly excessive, and they even tried the captured pirates themselves, and did not send them to the naval base.
Although it was all for the sake of order in the sea, it still felt very uncomfortable. We had no choice but to compete in speed with the army of the South China Sea Federation. It was really a fierce competition.
The 20 countries in the South China Sea were in a panic. They could see the South China Sea Federation's fleet passing by their gates all day long. Occasionally, they would cross the border to catch pirates. From time to time, there was chaos.
Chapter 234 Red Historical Text
"Has Bakerland officially settled on Batlila Island? Why hasn't it been done for so long? Why haven't our troops come back yet? Do you know how I felt when I saw the South Sea Federation's army passing by me?"
The liaison officer complained in his heart, even if your army is by your side, it is useless. Even if 20 countries are connected together, they will still be defeated.
"I heard that they couldn't find anyone who could make the decision. The person in charge of external liaison, Taizog, has been missing for a long time, so it has been delayed until now."
"What a South China Sea Federation! This kind of petty trick is not worthy of being used in public.
Forget it, let's make some more concessions on some conditions. Let Baker get it done as soon as possible!"
"it is good."
Baker, who was far away on Batlila Island, also felt very wronged. He really couldn't find anyone to talk to.
At the beginning, Taizog met with him a few times, and he argued with reason and showed the demeanor of a foreign minister. As a result, he was alone here playing single-player games for the rest of the time.
When you go out, there are guards following you, and you are not allowed to approach many places. Go to Taizog again, and the reply every time is that he has not come back yet, and he will let you know when he comes back.
Even without the urging of the 20 countries, he knew that the current situation was urgent. The military strength of some of the member states was not very strong, and the troops were sent this time with the idea of dividing the South China Sea Federation.
Now that everything is trapped here, the country is like an undefended country. How can we not be afraid? Not to mention pirates, even domestic troublemakers are difficult to suppress.
I went to Taizog's office again, and the secretary replied that he would be back in the next two days and would convey the proposal for a meeting.
God, there is finally some hope. Baker did not even consider what kind of harsh demands would be waiting for him in the future. Now, as long as they meet, they are already satisfied. They have to talk.
The Voyager took Tom directly to the Island of Resurrection instead of Batlila Island. Everyone on this ship knew Noah's identity, so there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, Tom was already a member of the same camp when he came to the South China Sea to build the sea train, and Noah had no intention of cheating him.
He would have been executed by the World Government in a year. Even if he had escaped Franky's battleship plot, there would still be other conspiracies and intrigues. With Spandam's shameless spirit, he would not be safe as long as he did not hand over the Pluto blueprints. He might as well come to the Revolutionary Army.
When we arrived at the Resurrection Island, Long was waiting for us by the sea. He was able to take time out of his busy schedule to wait for us, which showed his respect for Tom. The deeper the reform, the more we realize how serious the barrier of the sea is to human beings.
He was originally a great expert, flying everywhere, and even if he didn't fly, he was never afraid of taking a boat. It was not until now, when he was deeply involved in grassroots work, that he noticed a travel problem that stumped many people.
Noah had already explained the prospects of the Sea Train Project in great detail. Even though the funds required were an astronomical figure, Long did not hesitate at all. He had to build it. He had to build it even if he had to go to the Grand Line to rob or even attack Marijoa again.
The commander-in-chief of the three armies in Mary Joaquia, Kong Ganggu, sneezed, which made him alert. Could it be that someone wanted to come here and make trouble again? Humph, the Revolutionary Army, sooner or later, we must completely eradicate it!
After Tom got off the boat, he was warmly received by the leader of the revolutionary army, which made him flattered. On the left was the leader of the revolutionary army, Long, and on the right was the revolutionary lighting Noah. If it weren't for the smile on Long's face, he would have been a little afraid to leave. This is the most extraordinary, equivalent to walking with 100 billion Baileys around.
At the same time, Tom also knew that he would have to follow the Revolutionary Army in the future. The construction of the sea train had already closely linked him to the Revolutionary Army, which was a more serious crime than building a ship for the Pirate King. Before being exposed, he had to find a way to bring Kokoro here as well.
All the way from the Seven Water City to the Island of Resurrection, Noah had been talking about the various ideas and policies of the Revolutionary Army, as well as the ideas of the world's intelligent races to unite, which made him feel that it would not be a bad idea to change his lifestyle in the future.
Besides, Noah was really good to him, and he must repay his life-saving grace. Although he is worried about the future of Franky and Iceberg, they chose their own path, so let it be.
The most important thing is that the Revolutionary Army has a lot of friendship points for the fishmen. The good relationship and respect with the Fishman Island makes Tom, the ox-horned fishman, very useful. I heard that Princess Otohime and Tiger from the Fishman Street are working here, which is a very good basis for cooperation.
After a while, Tiger and Jinbei also came. They brought the red historical text back from the bottom of the sea with great difficulty.
The great hero of the fishmen, this aura could not be ignored even by Tom, who was well-informed and even had some connection with Roger. Several fishmen were chatting together and also talked about his younger brother, Dan.
"Is that guy still conducting research in the Sea Forest?"
"Yes, although he is a very good shipbuilder, he just likes to stay there and can't do anything. It's a headache."
When fellow villagers meet, there are too many topics to talk about.
Finally, the group came to the banquet hall for entertaining distinguished guests and held a simple welcoming ceremony to welcome Tom's official joining.
His job was simple, which was to build a sea train, first establish connections between several important cities, and let the economy take off. After all, the money was paid by the Seven Water Cities and the future 20 countries. If the stations along the way were all small countries, they would not be stupid and would not invest money.
The remaining remote routes will be handled by the Revolutionary Army itself, especially those in the outer ring defense chain, which are very critical.
The specific plan requires on-site investigation. At that time, Xiao Feng will follow to escort us. Tom's safety is the top priority.
