Chapter 109 Protracted War



Cao Ya organized her thoughts:

"Mr. Yixiao may have wondered if the Celestial Treasure system were abolished—although that's impossible, let's just assume it—would there still be so many pirates? Even if the One Piece attracted some people to set sail, it wouldn't have the same influence as it does now."

Yi Xiao nodded. He was extremely disgusted by the two major systems of the World Government: the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and the Celestial Gold system.

Cao Ya continued:

"To that I can say with certainty, no!"

A smile of curiosity:

"Oh, why?"

If the system of celestial gold could truly be abolished, and such immense oppression were eliminated, many countries could theoretically return to normalcy.

With a stable life, how many people would choose to risk going out to sea?

People like the Straw Hat Pirates are ultimately a very small minority.

Cao Ya smiled and explained:

"Celestial Gold is something the Celestial Dragons exploit to extract wealth from the world. For those nobles and royalty, exploiting the common people... ah, isn't that just how it is? Without Celestial Gold, the nobles of those countries would probably be even happier, since now it's their turn to plunder the wealth of the people."

He smiled and pondered.

Cao Ya isn't just talking nonsense; countless historical examples have proven that the rate at which those who wield power can fall into depravity is beyond imagination.

Similarly, the nobility generally viewed ordinary people as not being human.

Can you expect an exploiting and oppressive class to sympathize with the exploited and oppressed class?

That's unrealistic! There may be individuals who betray their class, but there will never be a class that betrays its own interests.

As long as class differences persist, widespread poverty will gradually become a common phenomenon. This is an objective law of historical development, and individual goodwill is of little use.

The only solution is to eliminate the gap between classes.

The revolutionary army may not be able to do it either, but at least they can move in that direction.

When the revolutionary army degenerates and begins to oppress and exploit the people, a new revolutionary army will emerge.

Cao Ya sighed:

"We must always maintain a critical perspective on ourselves and our enemies."

He smiled thoughtfully, even forgetting to eat his noodles.

Cao Ya left, certain that Issho would no longer be Fujitora; he would become the Revolutionary Army's top combat force, on par with Dragon and himself.

The revolutionary army's combat capabilities developed very rapidly.

In fact, after hearing that Aokiji had left the Navy, Cao Ya went to see him, but unfortunately they couldn't reach an agreement.

Aokiji's attitude was subtle; he didn't want to stay in the Navy, but he also didn't want to join the Revolutionary Army.

But he didn't say he was dead.

"Well~~~ I've finally got some peace and quiet, no work to do, so I need to rest for a while. I also want to see the world and travel around as an ordinary person." Aokiji rode his bicycle lazily across the sea.

Although he lost a leg, he could still use it by activating his Devil Fruit power to condense an ice leg.

Seeing that Aokiji had made up his mind, Cao Yafei, who was in the air, did not continue to ask questions.

He believed that Aokiji, having left the Navy, would not be on the side of the Revolutionary Army, but he would certainly not be their enemy.

Logically speaking, Cao Ya shouldn't have pinned his hopes on a few individuals in a war that has swept the entire world.

That's correct.

The problem is that this is a world where extraordinary individuals exist. For the top-tier combat power of the Four Emperors and Admirals, the human wave tactic is ineffective. Only the attack of equally skilled masters can stop them.

And there is no doubt that compared to the World Government, the Revolutionary Army's top combat power is... not enough, far from enough!

With Da Xiong absent, it's just Long, Cao Ya, and the newly joined Yi Xiao.

Sabo hasn't reached maturity yet.

How could these three top-tier combat forces possibly be qualified to engage in a decisive battle with the World Government?

This war is destined to be protracted and cannot be decided in a short period of time.

Perhaps two years later, when the Straw Hat Pirates reunite and set sail again, the war between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government will still be ongoing, and may not have even reached its peak yet.

Moreover, there is currently no way to deal with the Heavenly King in Im's possession.

If we can't solve it, then we can only stall for now.

"So you're trying every possible way to win over those top combatants?"

Within the system space, Cao Ya from [Naruto] glanced at Cao Ya from [One Piece].

"What can I do? If I'm not at three stars, facing the Heavenly King is just suicide. I can only try to win over top-tier fighters, keep pace with the World Government, and fight a war of attrition. Meanwhile, I'll spread my ideas and influence the whole world." Cao Ya from One Piece rolled his eyes.

He didn't want to either. If it could reduce casualties and overthrow the World Government as soon as possible, who wouldn't want that?

The problem is that the revolutionary army can't do it!

Even now, the revolutionary army is still the weaker party.

The World Government has ruled for eight hundred years. Who knows what secrets it holds? Is Im and Uranus all there is? Cao Ya thinks it might not be.

In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Cao Ya approves of his decision.

"This is the only way we can do it. The only ones who can stand up to Uranus are Poseidon and Pluton. Pluton is nowhere to be found, who knows where he is? Poseidon is Princess Shirahoshi of Fishman Island. If we want to get her help, there are really no suitable candidates in the Revolutionary Army. We still have to rely on Luffy."

[Dragon Clan] Cao Ya, waking from the pleasant memories shared by Cao Ya in [Enjoyment Tutoring Street], asked in bewilderment:

"Luffy's personality means he won't join the Revolutionary Army."

Cao Ya, from [Global Martial Arts], laughed:

"But Luffy is close to the Revolutionary Army, and there is absolutely no possibility of an alliance between him, the World Government, or the Celestial Dragons."

Cao Ya was also smiling in "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty":

"No matter what, Luffy and Dragon's blood relationship is inescapable. Garp's side certainly has one too, but Garp has never recognized the Celestial Dragons and is dismissive of some of the World Government and Navy's decisions. On the contrary, the Revolutionary Army was built up by Dragon himself. Not to mention people like Sabo and Robin, who have already joined the Revolutionary Army and hold important positions."

[Entertainment] Cao Ya nodded:

"One is the Chief of Staff, the other is the 'Light of the Revolution,' and with Dragon as the leader and commander-in-chief... Holy crap, Luffy is practically the 'crown prince' of the Revolutionary Army!"

[One Piece] Cao Ya shook his head:

“We are a revolutionary army, we have no ‘prince’.”

[Entertainment] Cao Ya shrank back. Okay, it was a slip of the tongue. The title of "Crown Prince" was indeed an insult to the revolutionary army.

There were no new faces this time; it was all the same group of veterans.

[Primordial Era] Cao Ya, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke:

"When I go back this time, I plan to go into seclusion and not come out until I break through to the Gathering Void and Merging with the Dao."

[Detective Conan] Cao Ya asked in surprise:

"So urgent?"

[Primordial Era] Cao Ya sighed and said:

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is getting closer and closer. The calamity aura that permeates the world is bewitching and maddening. I am very afraid."
