Looking at the boy on the observation deck, everyone couldn't imagine that these words could be spoken by an eight-year-old child.
It wasn't that they were profound, but rather, they were simply too correct.
In this chaotic and dark world, they felt like a clear spring flowing through everyone's hearts.
Roger: This child is a natural-born leader.
Roger had to admit that he was somewhat impressed by the boy.
Not to mention anything else, just these words alone, even with Roger's experience, he had never heard anyone say them.
Compared to the dreams and freedom that pirates chased, they were more realistic and simple.
Compared to the Navy's empty, lofty, and restricted justice, they were more grounded and resonated with people.
Compared to the World Government's cruel and dark rule under the banner of order, they were more bright and desirable.
Compared to the self-proclaimed gods, the arrogant Celestial Dragons and nobles, they were more humane.
Even though their positions, identities, and even ideals differed, Roger deeply acknowledged the boy.
And he firmly believed that he could truly change the world.
Not through the chaos of the Great Pirate Era he had sparked, but by truly re-establishing a new order for the world.
Kaido: Hmph, just empty words. Understanding the lower classes? What use are weak people? The wars instigated by the strong are the source of change and decision.
Big Mom: So-called people only need to coexist peacefully under the guidance of the strong. That's enough.
Kaido and Big Mom did not accept this line of reasoning.
Instead, they felt a strange, instinctive disgust.
How could Kaido, who worshipped power, and Big Mom, who controlled everything with absolute soul fear, care about the lives of the so-called lower classes?
They wouldn't even consider these people to be the same creatures as themselves, viewing them as mere ants.
Just like pirates.
Within the Navy, there were completely different interpretations of Roa's words at this moment.
"That's really well said, that kid."
Karp said with a smile.
He didn't overthink it. He simply felt that Roa's words were correct and simple. That's what makes good words.
"How can it be that simple? To put it bluntly, ultimately it's still a destroyer of order. The destruction of order only brings war, and in the end, the people are the ones who suffer."
Sengoku shook his head.
He knew that Roa's words were correct.
But being correct doesn't necessarily mean you should do it. Who doesn't long for an ideal world?
However, radical revolutions only bring chaos and war. Compared to destruction, Sengoku preferred to maintain the existing order. At least there's still a basic order in place.
"You're absolutely right."
Under the cherry blossom tree in Kamabakka Kingdom, Dragon opened his mouth and almost squeezed these words out of his throat.
Not because he couldn't accept it, but because he was deeply impacted by Roa's words, by his thoughts.
No research, no right to speak. It sounds simple.
But what about actually doing it?
Dragon had felt no guilt when he previously heard "no research, no right to speak."
Because he felt that he had conducted research.
But now?
He realized that his so-called research was too rudimentary.
He only saw that the people were living poorly, that there were slaves and beggars, and that the nobles were cruel.
But how poorly were the people living?
He didn't know.
He didn't know the basic expenses of a person, how much grain an acre of land could produce, or how much taxes were collected in different regions.
Thinking about it carefully, did he really understand the lower classes?
As Roa said, for those of them who had already transcended a certain class, when looking at the lower classes from the outside, were they not seriously harboring subjective assumptions?
"The Revolutionary Army has a huge problem. If we can't solve it, I'm afraid we'll never overthrow the World Government, or we'll become another World Government."
Dragon took a deep breath and said.
He unknowingly started sweating.
He didn't think anything of it before, but now looking back at the Revolutionary Army, he realized that their thriving Revolutionary Army had always been a castle in the sky.
"Indeed."
Even Emporio Ivankov, the King of the Okama, broke out in a cold sweat.
Although she was a king, Kamabakka Kingdom, the Okama Kingdom, was inherently different from ordinary kingdoms.
Her kingdom was probably one of the most special among all kingdoms, so it didn't apply to the other countries under the control of the Revolutionary Army.
"I may know why he was able to replace Mr. Dragon and become the leader of the Revolutionary Army in another world."
Sabo said with a long sigh of relief.
This wasn't a slight against Dragon, but simply an expression of admiration for the Revolutionary Army leader in another world.
Their leader, Mr. Dragon, had done a great job.
But it must be said that in terms of the depth of their thoughts and their correct understanding of the Revolutionary Army.
This eight-year-old boy, like a natural-born leader of the Revolutionary Army, surpassed even Dragon.
"Yes, it's truly shocking. Now we'll see how he carries out his detailed operations."
Dragon's eyes were filled with anticipation.
A single word, "comrade."
A realization about the research of revolution.
He had already benefited greatly from this.
If he could see the actual operation process afterwards, then for the Revolutionary Army, that would be worth more than any resurrection card reward.
【"Where do you plan to go for your research?" Fujitora asked.】
【"The East Blue." Roa blurted out.】
【"Oh, why?" Fujitora wondered. "The East Blue is the most peaceful and prosperous place under the World Government's rule."】
【"Precisely for this reason, we should start our investigation in the East Blue. The most peaceful and secure place is also where the World Government's system and order are most complete."】
【"Only from this place where the system and order are most perfect can we see the problems with the system and order that the World Government has established."】
【"If we can find the necessity for revolution in the most peaceful East Blue, then in other places, the will and need for revolution will only be stronger."】
【"Similarly, in peaceful places, the economy and people's livelihood have not been disrupted. Izo, there's a lot we need to learn. Revolutionaries not only need to know how to overthrow the nobles, but also how to establish a healthy country and order."】
【"Our goal is not to overthrow the existing order and cause chaos. Our goal is to break the dark order system and establish a better order."】
【"Learn through investigation, progress through practice, and ultimately give back to the people."】
【"Therefore, the first step is to investigate the East Blue."】
