Chapter 95 The Fourth Live Broadcast [VIP]
After the Navy Admiral and the leader of the Revolutionary Army finished their speeches, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Steel Bone, who was sitting in the middle seat, stood up.
He did not say any inspiring and passionate words, but instead confessed the mistakes of the old government in a serious tone and assured that the newly established government would absolutely stand on the side of the people to uphold justice.
Finally, he announced, "From today on, the government will be conducting a month-long worldwide conscription. Anyone who yearns for freedom and wants to protect their families and lands is welcome to sign up! One month from now, regardless of the outcome, we will send our troops to the East China Sea for the final decisive battle with Yale!"
The final showdown?!
Before anyone in front of the screen could react, the Den Den Mushi signal abruptly stopped.
The dark screen reflected a series of surprised and stunned faces.
Is this the final battle they understand? If the government really wants to send all its troops to the East China Sea, then if they win, it's fine. But if they lose, they really will have no power to resist.
After a brief silence, the whole world suddenly boiled over!
In the square of the Sabaody Archipelago, on the island occupied by the Four Emperors in the New World, in the desert of Alabasta, in every place where the live broadcast could be seen...
People were stunned at first, and then an unprecedented emotion surged, gathered, and exploded in their chests.
There was a buzz of discussion, some people looked anxious, while others became excited or even excited.
From the time Yale appeared until now, has he done anything good?
Even if the Celestial Dragons were caught, the final result would be a public trial, and none of the Heavenly Gold they handed over would be returned.
Now, with rising prices, food shortages, relatives and friends living on other islands disappearing, and merchant ships becoming increasingly rare - their lives are really getting harder and harder.
One thing after another made the common people hate Yale more and more.
The government is really going to duel with Yale.
So what should they do? Should they fight and risk their lives, or stay on the island and leave it to fate?
The navy soldiers subconsciously looked at the revolutionary soldiers around them, and what they saw were no longer enemies, but eyes that were also burning with fighting spirit.
No matter what the civilians think, they must obey the orders of their superiors and fight to the death with the outsiders who dare to invade this planet.
And the civilians...
Although fear still exists, there is more of a ignited courage.
They are willing to grasp everything in their hands as a weapon, even if it is not for such a grand goal, but simply to protect their families behind them and the islands under their feet.
The threat from the starry sky finally allowed the divided islands on this planet to find a common heartbeat.
In stark contrast to them are the civilians living on the East China Sea islands.
They also watched the live broadcast, and when they had only watched half of it, some impatient people started cursing.
They finally lived a good life - peaceful, equal, orderly, comfortable, and so comfortable.
Now there are people outside who are sour grapes and even want to gather troops to invade them. This is simply unreasonable!
Captain Yale's kindness to them is obvious to all.
The other party has never used their power to oppress them, nor has he coveted their money, nor has he used his power to do evil and treat people as slaves.
Such a good captain was slandered as an invader by outsiders, and they even wanted to gather together to attack him!
Can they bear it? They definitely can’t bear it!
"No, I want to sign up for Soldier School! I want to kill those guys outside!"
"Add me, I want to go too!"
"My child finally has a chance to go to school. I will never let those guys outside destroy our islands!"
Amidst the noisy roars, Makino's soothing voice seemed somewhat out of place.
The village chief pulled her and shook his head silently.
In this situation, unless Yale speaks up himself, anyone who dares to oppose will be treated as a traitor.
Makino could only shut his mouth, his face full of worry but he couldn't hide it.
She had a bad feeling. The captain rarely let the island residents know about outside intelligence, but this time he broke with his usual habit and let everyone watch the government's live broadcast, as if he was deliberately inciting everyone's emotions.
What happens after the emotions are aroused?
What will the other party do? Will they really let them fight to the death with their compatriots outside?
"Makino!"
Hearing his own name, Makino looked over subconsciously.
What caught my eye was a group of three men and one woman.
The young man wearing an orange hat raised his hand and waved with a bright smile.
Makino was stunned, and suddenly a boy's figure appeared in his mind.
The other person crossed his arms and said as a matter of course, "Because I am Luffy's brother."
Taking a breath subconsciously, Makino asked in surprise: "You! You are Ace, you are Ace, right?!"
It had been three years since Ace went to sea. The child had grown a lot and become much more mature. At first sight, Makino did not recognize him.
Ace smiled and nodded, feeling relieved when he saw that Makino showed no signs of suffering.
"It's good to see you again, Makino, look who this is." He pulled Sabor over again and asked Makino to recognize him.
Sabo took off his hat, revealing his slightly curly blond hair and scarred face.
"Hello, Ms. Makino, I am..."
"Sabo?!" Makino recognized him at a glance.
Although the Sabo in her memory had blond hair, a buzz cut, and was missing a tooth, Sabo was the only one she knew who could stand next to Ace.
But... Makino reached out worriedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after actually touching Sabo.
It's not an illusion created by Captain Yale, this Sabo really exists.
Makino hesitated and asked, "But Sabo isn't..."
"He was rescued by someone else, and we only reunited not long ago."
Ace explained with a smile, and then began to introduce Yamato and Buggy.
Bucky sneaked out.
For some reason, if he ran away alone, he would be caught by the metal ball immediately, but if he followed Ace and the others, the metal ball would ignore him.
Makino had too many questions to ask.
It just so happened that Sabo also had something to ask her.
However, just as the group was about to enter the tavern for a good chat, the dark screen lit up again.
But this time it was not the government’s live broadcast, but Yale’s 360° face without any blind spots.
Bucky took a deep breath and without hesitation rushed to hide in the bushes nearby.
Yamato was curious, as she had only known Yale through posters and newspapers.
This is the first time I have seen a living, young person like this defeat the entire Beasts Pirates. How strong is he?
"The fourth live broadcast, or is it just a live broadcast within the island group?"
Sabo's expression was serious as he pondered the current situation calmly.
Ace didn't have so many thoughts, he just prepared for battle in advance.
If anything unusual happens, he can protect Makino and the others immediately.
The audience, who were about to leave, became excited again because of Yale's appearance.
Through the thick filter, people could not only see his forced smile, but also his tearful look and pretense of strength.
"Don't be sad, Captain Yale, we will always support you!"
"People outside just don't understand your good intentions. Please don't be hurt by their words!"
On the screen, as if he heard their shouts, Yale smiled even more clearly.
His slightly narrowed golden eyes carried a condescending look, as if he could easily look down on everyone on the island.
"Thank you for your comfort," he said with a smile. "Thank you for believing that I didn't come here for war or aggression. I came to this planet for you—for every ordinary person struggling in hardship."
Listening to his high-sounding speech, Blackbeard Teach, who was moving bricks on the Music Island, snorted disdainfully.
The government actually wants to wait a month before officially sending troops, and his patience is almost running out.
"I am here to give, not to take. I can provide you with the endless energy you've always dreamed of, freeing everyone from poverty. I can share advanced medical technology to eliminate disease and suffering. I can bring you true knowledge, breaking the monopoly of the powerful on education. My friends, I want to give these gifts to all of you."
People looked enthusiastically at the man speaking on the screen.
He is like a light, just shining and making everything work.
"But the existence of the World Government has hindered all of this. Not only do those rebels refuse to accept my gift, they also want to snatch it from you and crush it! They want to enslave you once again—and you! You have the most precious choice: wait here and let them take everything away, or bravely take up arms and fight them to the death!"
At this point, many people had already started shouting enthusiastically.
Their eyes burned with surging fighting spirit and hatred, as if they had already seen the cruel future of their homes being demolished and the money they had earned being taken away again.
Yale closed his eyes in feigned pain, but his smile became more and more obvious, and he didn't look sad at all.
However, the people staring at the screen seemed not to see the malice on his face and continued to shout "resist" and "fight".
"I can no longer help you, my friends—stand up! Stop obeying those who treat you like ants! The choice is yours—will you continue to survive on your knees, or will you stand up and fight for a true future for yourselves and your descendants?"
"Stand up!"
"Stand up!"
The fanatical shouts gathered together.
The soul-shaking sound waves washed over the land of the islands again and again.
Yale watched their reactions with satisfaction. He waited until the crowd quieted down again before continuing, "Alright, I heard your cries—go, register at the City Hall, get your weapons, spend the last month getting used to them, and then—kill everyone outside!"
