Chapter 96 Emotions [VIP]
——Kill everyone outside!
When Yale said this, Smoker felt a sense of relief as if everything was finally settled.
Before this, he had doubted himself, wondering whether his resistance was right or wrong, and whether he should break this beautiful dream.
Life on the islands is indeed good, and it is a utopia that ordinary people dream of, there is no doubt about that.
But Smoker always worried that Yale had other intentions. If he had the ability to build a utopia, he would also have the ability to destroy it in an instant. That was why he always insisted on resisting.
Now, evidence is before us, proving that Smoker's concerns were correct.
This outsider was indeed crazy and came with the intention of destroying them.
Let the residents of the islands fight the outsiders.
Let the people on this planet kill each other!
The funny thing is, they used to kill each other.
It’s just that in the past it was on a small scale, with one group fighting against another for interests, ideas and other reasons.
And now it is on a large scale, with nearly half of the population of a planet and the other half fighting to the death for a reason that should not be a reason.
But it shouldn't be like this, they must stop this war from happening!
Looking at the crowd standing in front of the bandit hut, Smoker's voice was cold and hard, with an unyielding determination.
"As those who remain sane under Yale's control, we have a responsibility to stop this meaningless war!"
Standing at the front with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, Coby and Bellemere have changed a lot compared to a few months ago. They have firm expressions and the fire of fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
Although he had wavered before, that hesitation completely disappeared when Yale said, "Kill everyone outside."
Everything Yale had done before—
Why did he occupy islands one by one instead of launching a war directly?
Why build a utopia instead of making the common people work like slaves?
Why was it possible to eliminate the Celestial Dragons in one night yet still allow the Navy and the Revolutionary Army to gather together? All the answers are now available.
The residents of the island group will fight with the government forces outside, and no matter who wins or loses, countless people will be killed or injured.
As for those who are still alive, do they have the ability to resist Yale's rule again?
This is a war that will ultimately benefit Yale regardless of whether he wins or loses!
"That's very well said."
A voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around to look, and the crowd quickly dispersed to make way.
Because Makino was with them, everyone was more curious about the four people than hostile.
"Ms. Makino, who are these people?"
Coby looked at the four unfamiliar guys.
Smoker recognized two of them - Ace the Fire Fist and Buggy the Clown?
How did these two people get together with Makino? And the other two don’t look like ordinary people either.
"Don't worry, these four are not under Yale's control."
Makino gave a reassuring smile and introduced the identities of the four people one by one.
When Sabo was introduced, he took off his hat and saluted, then spoke to Smoker in a very serious tone.
"Hello, Mr. Smoker. I have heard your story from Miss Makino. I am Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."
Revolutionary Army? Smoker narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to shake Sabo's hand.
While they were discussing how to stop the war in a harmonious and friendly manner, Ace walked into the bandit hut and took a quick look around.
good.
Although Smoker used this place as a base, they did not occupy or even renovate the bandit hut, but instead built new houses around it.
The bandit hut still remains in its original state and has not been moved. Even judging from the cleanliness of the floor, it seems that someone cleans it regularly.
Ace had a better impression of people like Smoker.
When he heard Luffy's name from Coby, he couldn't wait to hold a grand banquet with these people.
Too bad, now is not the time.
Sabo is talking to Smoker about how to stop the war.
It's impossible to stop the outsiders.
Now they can't go out, can't contact the outside world, and can't explain the situation.
The best approach is to start from within.
Now the islanders are planning to take up arms to fight against the outside invaders, but if we have to say that they are doing it voluntarily, it is certainly not absolute.
There will definitely be people who want to defend their good lives, but there are also people who are afraid of war, bloodshed and sacrifice. It is impossible for everyone to be willing to go to the battlefield and fight.
The only reason that could make everyone choose to go to the battlefield and fight without hesitation was that Yale used the means of controlling people again.
But Yale's mental control over people is not absolute.
Smoker and his team had tried various methods and gained a lot of experience.
Beating someone until they wake up or simply reasoning with them will definitely fail.
They must bypass those rational things and use the "human nature" and "self" that cannot be completely erased deep in the hearts of the controlled people, and use those problems based on human-specific emotions that cannot be understood by Yale to attack the inner defenses of the controlled people.
"I woke up because I couldn't accept the news that Mr. Luffy was defeated."
Coby explained the reason why he regained consciousness, using this as an example, "Mr. Luffy is my benefactor and the person I admire the most."
Bellemere was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he himself didn't know why he stayed awake.
"Maybe it's because... I really don't want to clean." He still had the temper of a spoiled brat at the time and couldn't accept the disparity of having to endure hardship.
"I see." Sabo didn't laugh at him, but just nodded, looking a little surprised.
"There's only one month left. It's impossible to learn everyone's past. The number of people we can recruit is limited, and that's just a drop in the bucket for a war."
"Well...isn't there such a person that everyone likes?" Yamato thought very simply. The environment she lived in before was actually very simple.
This is the case with the Beasts Pirates. The center of everyone's attention is Captain Kaido. Without the captain, the pirate group will fall apart.
Ace deeply agreed with this.
The center of the Whitebeard Pirates is Father Whitebeard. He believes that if everyone is controlled, then bringing out Father will definitely work.
"Uta!" Makino said suddenly.
Also wanting to go together were Bucky and other people who had lived here for a long time.
If we were to ask who the citizens of the island group love the most, apart from Captain Yale who relies on unfair means, it would be Miss Uta who hosts the "Half Hour Singing" every day.
The other person sings so beautifully.
Every day when I get off work, even the fatigue from a hard day's work will disappear with the singing of Miss Uta.
Although they didn't stay on the islands for long, Ace, Sabo and Yamato had heard the songs played on the radio.
The three of them also thought the song was beautiful, but it was only for a short time and they hadn't developed any strong feelings towards it yet.
"If Miss Uta could stand in front of me and smile at me, I would give her everything!"
Bellemere folded his arms, shedding tears of longing.
Smoker added: "There are also some special people whose family members have passed away, and they will be surrounded by visions that only they can see."
Such people either remain absolutely sober or sink to the extreme.
And there is no possibility of persuading those who have sunk to the extreme.
"Dad, aren't you going to the city hall to sign up?"
In the outer corridor of the dojo, a blue-haired girl was sitting on the corridor with her hands on the ground, looking at the middle-aged man sitting next to her in confusion.
Shimotsuki Koshiro was holding a cup of hot tea. Hearing this, he took a sip and then shook his head in response.
"Forget it. Dad would rather spend more time with you. It would be nice to talk to you."
Kuina was obviously unhappy. She pouted and looked depressed for a while before speaking again.
"But, if everyone thinks like you, then the island group will lose. If they lose, you will never..."
"Kuina." Koshiro interrupted her softly.
Looking at his daughter's still young face, he seemed to see her lying on the floor with a pale and bloodless face.
Time flies so fast. If Kuina were still alive, she would have grown into a graceful young lady.
But he would never see it again, so this illusion would always remain his last impression of his daughter.
"Do you hate me?" Koshiro asked softly.
Kuina tilted her head in confusion.
"Why should I hate you?"
Koshiro: "I once said... it's impossible for a girl to become number one in the world."
Kuina looked at him, her eyes full of a child's admiration for her parents.
She shook her head and said with a bright smile, "No, Dad, I understand. You are just afraid that I will leave you. You are doing this for my own good!"
Koshiro closed his eyes to hide the moisture, pain and struggle in them.
When he opened his eyes again, he had made up his mind, "I have to go, Kuina."
"Ah, do we need to go to the city hall to register?"
Kuina stood up after him and said excitedly, "I'll go with you."
"No need, you can stay at home." Koshiro said gently.
"I'm not going to go to city hall to sign up. We can't turn our weapons on our fellow citizens."
The smile on Kuina's face froze.
She tilted her head and her figure flashed abruptly several times, like a machine that malfunctioned due to signal interference.
"Dad." Her voice also became a little sharp.
"Don't you want to see me and Mommy anymore?"
Koshiro turned around and walked out firmly.
"I'll see them again after I die."
He did not look back, letting the images that had accompanied him for several months collapse and disappear.
With a depressed hum, Yale shook his head and closed the image.
"How heartless... We were so happy together before, but now he doesn't even turn around."
"After all, this is just a created digital life, and it's based on their own impressions. There are bound to be discrepancies between it and the real person."
Hongyi said with deep feeling: "After an important person dies, those who miss him/her will constantly glorify everything about him/her in their memories, and also constantly glorify themselves."
