【Orange Town, a town larger than Shells Town, just without the presence of a Navy base.】
【As a result, it was slightly more chaotic. When Luo Ya and his companions first arrived, they encountered pirates trying to plunder the town.】
【Several pirates with bounties under ten million were easily dealt with by Nagli, their bounties becoming Luo Ya's group's expenses.】
【This town was also under the jurisdiction of a small affiliated country, but it was essentially left alone by the nation. The defensive forces here were very weak, relying mostly on villagers organizing themselves to resist pirates.】
【Luo Ya took notes here, stayed for a day, and before leaving, left behind several Revolutionary Army fighters to help train the militia to resist pirates.】
【“Did you discover something again?” Fujitora asked from the side.】
【He had spent the most time with Luo Ya, so he could tell from Luo Ya's expression that he had a new discovery.】
【It was like when they were in the Red Line, and when they decided to revamp the Uncertain Object End Station in the Goa Kingdom.】
【“I have found something useful, but I'll keep you in suspense for now. I need more verification before revealing it,” Luo Ya said with a smile.】
【“Something very useful?” Fujitora asked.】
【“Yes,” Luo Ya's face was filled with a relaxed smile: “Something very useful.”】
【“If my verification is correct, the overall direction and grand strategy of the East Blue Revolution can be formulated.”】
【“Even under the very eyes of the World Government, I can ensure the covert expansion of the revolutionary forces to every corner of the East Blue without them noticing.”】
【Luo Ya's words drew surprised expressions from both Fujitora and Nagli.】
【“You two can also carefully think about what you’ve seen and heard along the way. I’ll share my conclusions with you later, and we can verify them together,” Luo Ya said to Fujitora and Nagli with a smile.】
【The two just chuckled and pondered hard.】
In the chat room.
Luffy: Hahaha, Monka is so young at this time!
Zoro: I can't believe that Monka was once a hot-blooded, righteous marine. Who knows how he turned into that guy later.
Usopp: Next up is the East Blue voyage, I wonder if we’ll see Syrup Village, if we’ll see Kaya.
Nami: Cocoyasi Village, I wonder if Bell-mère is still there at this time.
Sanji: I wonder if we’ll meet the old man. He was still a pirate at this time, right?
Many members of the Straw Hat Pirates were excited. Most of them were born or grew up in the East Blue.
It had been two and a half years since they left their hometowns.
Seeing their hometowns from the movie was undoubtedly moving.
Even more so, because Luo Ya and his companions were passing through islands they had previously visited.
Seeing these places twenty-eight years ago brought a strange feeling.
Compared to them, the Revolutionary Army was more focused on Luo Ya's discovery.
Ivankov: Can anyone tell me what Luo Ya has discovered? To be able to expand the Revolutionary Army's forces across the World Government's watched waters?
Koala: As expected of Mr. Luo Ya, it feels like he knows everything.
Sabo: I still don’t understand.
Dragon: I seem to have some clues, but I’m not sure yet.
The Gorosei’s blood pressure was rising.
They hated seeing Luo Ya's smug smile, which they found infuriating.
And his ability to always find the World Government's weaknesses in the most unexpected places.
The discussion about the Red Line's openness and closedness from last time was something the Gorosei still couldn't forget.
The class struggle theory and investigation report from the Goa Kingdom were on the level of dragon-slaying.
Now, what had he discovered on this voyage? The key was that he claimed he could fully expand the Revolutionary Army's forces in the East Blue. How was that possible?
Were their CP organizations just there to eat for free?
【After leaving Orange Town, Luo Ya successively visited Syrup Village, Cocoyasi Village, and a number of small islands and towns.】
【During this process, Fujitora and Nagli seemed to have also discovered something, becoming thoughtful.】
【On this day, they came to a small island separated by a mountain range.】
【This small island looked similar to the terrain of the Goa Kingdom, but it was much smaller, with a small mountain range separating two small villages.】
【This island was not shown on the map because it didn't belong to any affiliated country.】
【Luo Ya knew about it because he and Fujitora had accidentally come to this island while capturing pirates some time ago.】
【Luo Ya and his companions landed from the eastern port. The village on the east side was called Shimotsuki Village, the same village Luo Ya and Fujitora had visited last time.】
【“Isn’t this Mr. Luo Ya and Mr. Izo? We meet again.” Luo Ya's ship had been spotted long ago.】
【The village headman, Kousaburo, had led the villagers to the port, thinking it was a pirate raid. But when they got closer, they realized it was a familiar face.】
【Kousaburo, the headman, greeted Luo Ya and Fujitora with a bright smile when he saw them. 】
【Behind Kousaburo was a young man with round glasses who looked gentle and introverted. He was Kousaburo's son, Koshiro. 】
【Unlike Kousaburo’s old-fashioned nature, Koshiro was very interested in the Revolutionary Army's ideology that Luo Ya had brought when he last visited.】
【“The aristocratic class in the Goa Kingdom has now been completely eliminated by the Revolutionary Army. It is now the first proletarian country. If you are interested, you can visit the Goa Kingdom.”】
【After entering the village, Luo Ya said to Koshiro, and handed him a newly printed book about the Revolutionary Army’s ideology.】
【“That's great,” the gentle and introverted Koshiro couldn't help but smile, as he cherished the book Luo Ya had given him.】
【“Mr. Koshiro, would you be willing to become our comrade?” Luo Ya asked Koshiro.】
【“I hope I can answer your question after visiting the Goa Kingdom once, Mr. Luo Ya,” Koshiro said, “Didn’t you say it yourself? No investigation, no right to speak.”】
【“You’ll love it there,” Luo Ya also smiled.】
【That night, Luo Ya sat at a simple desk, opened his notebook, closed his eyes, and the things he had seen and heard since leaving the Goa Kingdom came to mind.】
【A moment later, he opened his eyes and wrote with a sharp stroke of his pen on the paper.】
【A Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire: On the Replicability of Shimotsuki Village.】
