Chapter 758: Split, representing the people on the right track! (Two in one)
In the dim cell, Crow and Mori's faces changed when they heard what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said.
The two men who had already planned to accept their fate did not expect that there would be a turning point the night before they were to be executed.
No matter who they are, when facing life and death, they will often look back on their lives. The period of waiting for death is the most difficult time for them. During this period, people will often question their own hearts and examine everything they have done before.
Some people will become more determined in their ideals and beliefs when looking back on their past, but there are also some people who will feel regretful and unworthy for what they have done.
In fact, neither Mori nor Crow were the original members of the Revolutionary Army. When they joined the Revolutionary Army, Long's Revolutionary Army had already made some achievements in the North Sea.
They were moved by Long's great ideals and impressed by his powerful strength and personal charm.
In their eyes, Long is a leader who takes action, and they firmly believe that under Long's leadership, the revolutionary army will be able to achieve results and overthrow the world government that has suppressed the world for 800 years.
To a certain extent, the world imagined by the Revolutionary Army and the world imagined by Yoriichi Tsugakuni have many similarities, and the enemies they target also have strong commonalities.
It's just that the paths they take are different, and compared to the Revolutionary Army's inaction over the years, the new navy under the leadership of Tsugumi Kuniyoshi is moving much faster.
The Revolutionary Army has been established for so many years, but their tentacles have never dared to touch the holy land or the Celestial Dragons. All they have done is to accumulate strength and overthrow one kingdom after another ruled by foolish and incompetent rulers. Although they have accumulated some voice, it is insignificant compared to the World Government.
However, the new navy under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugakuni was completely different. The strength of the new navy expanded very quickly. Even at the beginning of the establishment of the new navy, Yoriichi Tsugakuni had already targeted the Celestial Dragons. At that time, he was still inexperienced and caused the Celestial Dragons to suffer a great loss, which made the Celestial Dragons become cautious and restrained their behavior.
After Yoriichi Tsugakuni occupied Banko and developed his own power based on Banko, the New Navy became the number one concern of the World Government. The Five Elders tried to kill Yoriichi Tsugakuni with ancient weapons, but failed.
When Yoriichi Tsugumi returned to this world, the Celestial Dragons had already disappeared.
After Kuniyoshige entered the Naval Headquarters and became the Chief of the Navy's General Staff, the Revolutionary Army could clearly feel that the Navy's policies had undergone tremendous adjustments.
The original policy of the navy was to shrink and take a defensive posture. Since the loss of a number of strong men on the Origin Island that year, and with the departure of Zephyr and Aokiji from the Navy Headquarters, the world's most powerful military force has fallen to the second rate.
Before the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the new navy was still in its heyday, and the navy headquarters tried its best to consolidate its basic foundation.
Not to mention taking action against the revolutionary army, the navy during this period was simply unable to take care of itself and could not take care of Long's revolutionary army at all. This was also the fastest development stage of Long's revolutionary army.
But everything changed when Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared at the Marine Headquarters.
The Revolutionary Army generally believed that some kind of agreement had been reached between Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the World Government, because the Navy was now the one taking on the task of collecting the Heavenly Gold. From this point of view, their speculation was valid.
From the beginning to the end, the leadership of the Revolutionary Army never thought that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had completely destroyed the Holy Land and completed the unification of the navy. After all, such a thing was too sensational. Even if it was really spread, no one would believe that the "descendants of God" who had stood in the world for eight hundred years were eliminated so silently.
However, when Crow and Mori heard these words from Yoriichi Tsugakuni's own mouth, they realized how outrageous their initial judgment of Yoriichi Tsugakuni was.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi has no need to cooperate with the World Government at all, because the World Government has been dead in name only after the Celestial Dragons were annihilated.
The reason why the World Government organization can still exist is simply because Yoriichi Tsugikuni needs this organization to exist, nothing more.
"We've dealt with the Celestial Dragons, what the hell are you talking about?!"
"What do you mean by solution?!"
"Have you reached a consensus with the Celestial Dragons? Or have you?"
Crow naturally understood what Tsugikuni Yoriichi was saying, but at this moment he couldn't believe his ears at all and confirmed it again and again.
The same problem also exists for Mori. He is not very interested in the other information that Jigoku Yoshiichi said, but the Celestial Dragons
“Solution is solution.”
“Literally.”
"The holy land of Marinjoa has been destroyed by me."
"The Celestial Dragons living in the Holy Land, along with the Five Elder Stars, have all been defeated!"
"That's what I mean by solution!"
Although the Navy Headquarters has accurate information about the situation in the Holy Land, it is top secret and has never been revealed to the outside world.
Even within the headquarters, only a few people knew about this.
This is also what Yoriichi Tsugikuni did to avoid some unnecessary trouble. After all, the Celestial Dragons have ruled the world for eight hundred years. Even though the Celestial Dragons are not human, there are still some forces and races that can rely on the Celestial Dragons' system to gain benefits. These people are also the absolute main force supporting the Celestial Dragons.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi will not underestimate the power of these people and plans to slowly disintegrate them.
Not to mention the Celestial Dragons who have ruled the world for eight hundred years, even the Qing Dynasty in the real world only ruled for a few hundred years. After its demise, there are still people who summon its souls, and its power is still considerable.
Therefore, when dealing with the Celestial Dragons and their affiliated forces, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was naturally cautious.
However, in order to win over strong people like Crow and Mori, it is necessary to reveal some secrets.
Admittedly, the strength of these two people is not indispensable to the current navy, but Jiguo Yuanyi recruited these two people not to let them lead the army to fight against pirates.
They are the commanders of the Revolutionary Army and were once Long's most trusted partners and subordinates. If these two people had a conflict with Long and did not "accidentally" return to the ranks of the Revolutionary Army, the damage they could cause to the Revolutionary Army would probably be enormous.
Once the dragon's authority is shattered, it is not easy to regain it.
In a large force, there can only be one person who makes the highest decision. If this person cannot suppress other strong people in the same system, division will be the inevitable result.
In Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's view, the Revolutionary Army was already on the verge of collapse. If there was further division, perhaps Tsugakuin Yoshiichi would not even need to take action, and the Revolutionary Army would collapse on its own.
Long's personal strength is indeed very strong, but it is far from enough to rely solely on personal strength to rule a force.
Even if it was Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, his reforms would not have been implemented so quickly if no one in the Naval Headquarters supported him.
The reason why the Navy Headquarters was able to turn around so quickly was that in addition to the fact that the leader was Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the senior leaders such as Sengoku, Tsuru, and Borsalino all stood closely on Yoriichi Tsugakuni's side.
Even though Akainu and Yoriichi Tsugakuni have some ideological differences, once Yoriichi Tsugakuni's military order is issued, Akainu will still complete it without compromise.
These people represent different factions of the Naval Headquarters. When these people gather around Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, the administrative efficiency of the Naval Headquarters can naturally be fully utilized.
But the Revolutionary Army is different.
The system of the four navy captains itself gives these people considerable power and status. It can be said that Mori and Crow are equivalent to the "generals" of the Revolutionary Army.
If someone of this status turned against them, the revolutionary army would be out of control unless Long Guojue killed them.
Therefore, when communicating with Crow and Mori, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was very patient. While showing his strength, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also did not forget to paint a beautiful picture of the future for them, so that they could have no worries:
"You do things for me not just for your own consideration."
"I know you're not the kind of people who are afraid of death. People like us who have ideals have long since put our own lives and deaths aside."
"but."
"If you die like this, wouldn't you be too sorry for your comrades who fought alongside you?"
"I might as well be honest with you. I've always admired you, the Revolutionary Army. If you don't hinder our navy's operations, I have no intention of taking action against you."
"It's just that you, whose goal is to liberate the working people, attacked Cake Island for your own selfish desires. This has changed my opinion of you."
"Even an organization like the Revolutionary Army, which has ideals, will have a variety of ideas."
"I can't control your revolutionary army. In order to successfully implement my plan, the best thing the navy can do is to eradicate your revolutionary army completely!"
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's tone was resolute, and he did not hide his murderous intent at all. Even though many of the people who made up the revolutionary army were ordinary people who could not survive, this still did not change Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's mind.
If we want to end this chaotic world, all disobedient forces are threats and must be eliminated.
Crow and Mori are both smart people. Although they don't know what the plan that Jiguo Yuanyi mentioned is, they also know that Jiguo Yuanyi is not joking with them and that the other party will really do it.
A terrifying and powerful man who destroyed the holy land said such words, and they had no choice but to believe it.
"but."
"There's still hope!"
"I hope that all of you in the revolutionary army are those who fight for your ideals. If you can eliminate those with selfish desires, I don't mind giving you preferential treatment."
"The Navy needs talent to develop. I want to bring true peace to the world, and we need many talented people to join us."
"If you, the Revolutionary Army, can remain pure, the Navy will absorb you, grant you an identity, and assist you in doing what you want to do."
"Letting people take control of their own future—isn't this a great cause?"
Yoriichi Tsugikuni stood in front of the cells of Mori and Crow and talked freely. He did not belittle Mori and Crow to highlight his own status and superiority. On the contrary, he expressed his admiration and respect for the two prisoners.
In his words, he treated Crow and Mori as people like himself.
Although these words were not very nice, Mori and Crow did feel respected by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Maybe Tsugikuni Yoshiichi himself didn't feel anything, but in fact, in the eyes of some people, he had already become a totem-like figure.
Even though Mori and Crow belong to different forces, they have deep respect for everything that Tsugakuni Yoriichi has done. The respect that Tsugakuni Yoriichi shows to them is very beneficial to both of them.
Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi is young, his existence is really dazzling. Carrying the title of the future of the navy, he participated in the capture of Pirate King Roger when he was young, and killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion. Not only did he suppress the pirates in the New World with his own strength, he also gave up his bright future and fought against the Celestial Dragons just for the justice in his heart.
Although he was liquidated by the World Government and the Naval Headquarters after founding the New Navy, his enemies have disappeared one by one, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni himself has transformed himself into the Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters.
Along the way, Yoriichi Tsugakuni has never compromised with the World Government. On the contrary, Yoriichi Tsugakuni is moving steadily towards his goal.
Compared with Tsugikuni Yoriichi's achievements and dreams, everything their revolutionary army has done so far is really just a small thing.
Yoriichi's words were not that tempting to the two of them, but Crow and Mori also heard the hidden meaning in Yoriichi's words.
If the two of them work for the navy, the revolutionary army traveling with them will not be troubled by the navy, and may even be able to earn a future in the navy system.
They have already disregarded their own life and death, but they cannot ignore their comrades who are traveling with them.
and
After what happened, they no longer trusted Long and were not willing to entrust the revolutionary army entirely to someone like Long.
The revolutionary army is no longer Long's revolutionary army alone, but the revolutionary army of all revolutionary armies.
As Yoriichi Tsugakuni said, if we must find a leader for the Revolutionary Army, perhaps Yoriichi Tsugakuni would be the best choice.
At least Yoriichi Tsugakuni didn't have a son who was a pirate, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni never gave up his dream for someone.
On the road ahead for Yoriichi Tsugakuni, even if Garp blocked his way, he would still be killed by Yoriichi Tsugakuni's sword.
Everything he did was worthy of those who trusted him and walked with him!
This is also what Mori and Crow value most now.
"Mr. Yuichi Tsugikuni"
"If possible, I hope I can have the opportunity to bring the revolutionary army back on track!"
Crow was the first to express his opinion. He bowed to Ji Guoyuan with chains wrapped around his body. There was less despair and more determination in his tone.
"Me too!"
Mori is a man of few words, but his stance is firm enough.
“A wise decision!”
Ji Guoyuan nodded, said nothing more, turned around and left the prison.
