Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

"Donghuang, we have no ill intentions, I just want to talk to you."

"Jin, don't scare the child."

Barrett patted Jhin on the shoulder.

"Boss, how about I take the kids over to play and you guys chat." Jin nodded and left with Kuina and Olga.

"Ivan, you wait here for me, I want to talk to Donghuang." Seeing Jin leave, Long breathed a sigh of relief, instructed the two people behind him, and walked towards Barrett.

"Long, what do you want to talk about? I remember Ling Xiao doesn't have any deal with you guys." Barrett said with a smile.

"Donghuang, I have been to Lingxiao Empire. It is very prosperous and the people there live and work in peace and contentment. So I would like to ask you for advice on what we should do next." Long was very sincere and bowed slightly to Barrett.

Hearing this, Barrett frowned. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Garp and Luffy, but he still had a certain good impression of Dragon. It's just that although this man has great ambitions, he lacks wisdom. He can only incite randomly and want to use the power of the grassroots to overthrow the Celestial Dragons, but he can only incite and has no strategy at all.

However, if he helps Dragon, with the great ideas and strategies he knew in his previous life, even if it doesn't help the Revolutionary Army achieve great things, it will definitely cause headaches for the World Government.

Thinking of this, Barrett narrowed his eyes, looked at Long and smiled, "I can give you some advice, but what benefits can I get?"

"To be honest, whether you develop or not doesn't have much impact on me."

"Donghuang, what do you want?"

Long frowned and spoke in a deep voice. He knew Barrett well and knew that Barrett's tricks wouldn't work, so he might as well try something practical.

Barrett smiled and said, "It's nothing, three devil fruits, but don't embarrass yourself with trash, but what I give you, I can guarantee that you will benefit greatly."

"Okay, one superhuman cold fruit, one ancient giant wolf fruit, and one fusion fruit." Long pondered for a long time, with a painful look on his face. He had just obtained these fruits not long ago and was preparing to strengthen his team. He didn't expect that they would be gone in such a short time.

"Can--"

Barrett narrowed his eyes and was very happy. He didn't expect that there was another fusion fruit.

This made him sigh at the accidental fate. The fusion fruit turned around and around, and finally fell into his hands.

"Dong Huang, please tell us about your help first. If you can't help us, then the deal will naturally not be established." Long continued with a sullen face.

Barrett smiled and said, "Don't worry! I told you I can definitely help you."

"Then thank you for your advice." Long said with a smile.

Barrett nodded and said directly, "Long, I know your plan. You are going to use the power of the lower-class civilians to resist the eight hundred years of rule."

"To be honest, what you are doing will not only fail to bring relief to the civilians, but will even make their already miserable lives even worse."

"How is this possible? We led them to overthrow the tyrannical kingdom and provided them with food. How could we make them suffer more?" Long had a look of disbelief on his face, and there was suspicion in his eyes towards Barrett.

Barrett said, "I admit that you led them to overthrow the current country's rule, and indeed let them live a good life for a few days, but what will happen if you leave? After you leave, the overthrown country will lose its order, and the people's morbid psychology caused by long-term oppression will expand. It won't be long before it becomes a lawless area, or even a hell on earth."

"And it turns out that! Although they are oppressed, they are always suppressed in an orderly manner and will not cause unrest. So what you are doing will not only fail to save people, but will instead lead to a deeper level of persecution."

"No, it won't be like that."

“Did we really do something wrong?”

Long was not a fool. He quickly thought of the possibility that Barrett mentioned and his face turned pale. After all, this was his lifelong ideal, but he never thought that it was a wrong choice.

Barrett didn't say anything, just watched quietly. In fact, he was quite touched. Long was half a saint, and he had fought for the people for many years. However, after decades, there had been no progress, and in the end he had to rely on his son.

"Barrett, you have to help me, help those people." After a long time, Long grabbed Barrett's arm, with pleading and tears in his eyes.

Barrett nodded and said, "Don't worry! Since we have reached a deal, I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing this, Long let go of Barrett and looked at him seriously.

Barrett said, "Long, in fact, your idea of ​​gathering the lower-class civilians is not wrong, but your operation method is wrong. After all, you are just inciting and not thinking about accepting it, so no matter how you develop it, it will all be in vain in the end."

"Mr. Donghuang, please tell me what we should do." Hearing this, Long understood a lot and bowed to Barrett.

After receiving Long's greeting, Barrett couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and spoke generously.

"Long, first of all, you need to understand what ordinary people need. What they need is not high and mighty, nor wealth and glory, but simple three meals a day and a happy family."

Hearing this, the mist in Long's eyes cleared away and he listened more attentively.

"So, don't always think about inciting civilians to overthrow other regimes. Instead, you should first establish your own regime and base. This way, you will no longer be rootless. You can use the time to develop your base to absorb civilians."

"After all, population is the foundation. Only when the foundation is strong can more talents be born."

"Secondly, you should form your own armed forces and defend your base."

"After all, truth is only within the range of cannons, and dignity is only on the edge of swords."

……

"Also, the base's laws and criminal laws must have a sound system, because order is the foundation of human survival. Without order, humans will be in chaos, and the desires in their hearts will be magnified, causing chaos. Order is the sharp blade that restrains desires. Only by controlling order can your base grow stronger and gain the recognition of the people. You must believe that since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

"Finally, if you want to start a revolution, one base alone is definitely not enough. You need to spread out your people, surround the city with villages and towns, gradually strengthen yourself, and finally connect all the bases and guard them with weapons. Only then will you have the power to shake the world government."

After hearing Barrett's remarks, Long realized how ridiculous what he had done before was. He looked at Barrett with eyes full of admiration and had an urge to kowtow and become his disciple immediately.

After saying this, Barrett suddenly stopped and said to Long, "By the way, Long, I know you are from the navy. You might consider rebelling against the navy."

"Inciting the navy to rebel." Long was shocked and his eyes widened.

Barrett smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised. The original justice of the Navy was to protect civilians. In fact, it coincides with your philosophy in general."

"Among the navy, although most are loyal to the World Government, there are some who have always insisted on justice in their hearts. As far as I know, Admiral Aokiji, Instructor Zephyr and his wife, and Admiral candidate Fujitora Ichisho all insist on justice in their hearts and protect civilians. You may try to get their support. Perhaps in a few years, you will have the strength to compete with the World Government."

Long's heart was pounding when he heard this. If they really did as Barrett said and got these people to join them, then they would really soar to the sky.

But soon, his face fell, because for such a long time, the development was indeed not very good. He smiled bitterly and said, "Donghuang, if it weren't for your advice today, I would still be confused now, so it is impossible for me to recruit them now."

"That's true."

Barrett nodded.

Long smiled bitterly, and then continued to ask, "Donghuang, can you tell me where we should choose our base?"

Barrett thought for a moment and said, "The best place to build a base is actually in the New World, because it belongs to the Five Emperors' territory and the World Government cannot interfere. But now the Five Emperors' territory is stable. If you want to go in, you will inevitably have a big battle. If you want to develop, the best place is actually in the Golden Lion, because the Golden Lion has been exploiting people for many years, and the civilians there are suffering. Once you defeat the Golden Lion, it will be easy to win the hearts of the people."

"Let's talk about other places! The Five Emperors Domain is really not something we can enter." Long had a bitter look on his face. He had thought about the new world, but it was not realistic. With their current strength, no one could defeat them.

Barrett nodded. What Long said was indeed right. Long’s strength had not yet reached its peak. Now he was at most at the admiral level and could not defeat the emperor.
