The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

"Are we just going to withdraw like this?" A revolutionary cadre with a red silk tied around his arm said unwillingly, "This is a city that our comrades have finally taken with great difficulty. We have finally liberated this city from the greedy nobles."

Darius looked at the excited rebel cadres and could only comfort them, "This is caused by objective laws. With the strength of our party, we still cannot challenge the military power of the World Government head-on. Avoiding its edge is the choice that best suits the interests of the people."

"But didn't we defeat the Navy's Demon Slayer Order head-on in Ohara? If we can even defeat the Demon Slayer Order, why should we still be afraid of the World Government?

The worker comrades have risked everything to follow us in the revolution, so are we just going to let them down?" Even after hearing the explanation, the insurgent cadres still raised a deafening question.

"We revolutionaries will not abandon our comrades, except for the logistics troops of the rebel army who will break out by boat. Other comrades will break out inland. The sea is so vast, as long as the comrades can retreat to a more remote place, our fleet will naturally be able to take everyone back to the base." Darius explained.

Finally, the rebels had no choice but to accept Darius' proposal. However, there was still one thing to deal with. "By the way, what should we do with the prisoners? Our revolution has captured many stubborn elements, but we can't take care of them now." A rebel cadre asked.

"We have to take emergency measures. We should give tit-for-tat to those who have the blood of our comrades on their hands. As for those other stubborn elements who are resisting, let's let them go this time. Of course, you have to think of a way to not let them get away so easily." Darius thought about it and decided to give the power to deal with the prisoners to the local revolutionaries.

"Well, let them experience the normal work of us workers. It's really a good deal for them." The rebels accepted the proposal.

Then, a large number of the insurgents' rear personnel, including a large number of skilled workers, and a group of core revolutionary party backbones boarded the fleet brought by Darius. The government army's attack could come at any time, and they were about to retreat.

As for other matters concerning the port, the revolutionaries still left some key members in the city to lead, and the city still retained considerable armed forces. They would attract the enemy's attention when the government army attacked, and use the artillery to buy time for Darius's fleet to retreat.

When the Red Flag Fleet reaches a safe distance, the troops in the city will break out. They are responsible for the rear of the entire army. Compared with the fleet that has already retreated, they may face more dangers, but no one is afraid.

Then, the rebel troops in the city went to the captured enemies in the prison. Among them were the gangsters who had oppressed the workers in the past, the capitalists who had madly exploited the workers, and the nobles who had eaten people without leaving any bones.

Of course, the crimes committed by those who were captured were not yet to the point of being outrageous to both humans and gods. Those who were truly guilty of heinous crimes had already been tried and executed by the rebels.

"Listen carefully, you blood-sucking cysts. After research and decision by the Fascist Committee of the Revolutionary Party, your lives will be spared this time." Upon hearing this, the detained people suddenly became noisy.

"Quiet, quiet. Listen to me, although you can be forgiven, you also need to alleviate your own sins through action. Go to work, and atone your sins through labor." The rebels who announced the resolution then finished reading out.

As the revolutionaries were evacuating, the government army began its offensive, with tens of thousands of soldiers on hundreds of warships attacking the port of Genoa.

Led by six navy Demon-Slayer warships and backed by hundreds of other warships, the government fleet launched a terrifying firepower that exceeded that of the Demon-Slayer Order and madly tilted towards the opposite port.

The revolutionary army that was still guarding the fort did not show weakness, and relied on the fort to directly fight back against the government fleet, and for a while they were even at a disadvantage with the government's large fleet. Seeing this situation, Akainu no longer hesitated and directly signaled Aokiji beside him to take action.

As for why Akainu didn't take action, it was because he had a more important mission. The Celestial Dragon who came to inspect the front line was on Akainu's flagship at the moment. In order to ensure the safety of the Celestial Dragon, Akainu could only watch over him on the warship and let Aokiji take action to deal with the offensive of the rebels.

Aokiji also became serious for a rare time and did not slack off. He jumped into the air and said, "Freeze time capsule." As Aokiji took action, countless cold air projectiles directly intercepted the incoming shells and froze them in mid-air. The artillery's artillery offensive was thus resolved.

Seeing Aokiji take action, the government army cheered. Now that the enemy's attacks have all been intercepted by their own high-level combat forces, the soldiers, who have no worries, are immediately boosted in morale. The recruited mercenaries and bounty hunters were also driven to attack on landing ships. The government army wanted to take this opportunity to win the war.

As for why Aokiji didn't use his fruit ability to freeze the sea directly, and then the troops took advantage of the situation to attack, it was of course because the Celestial Dragons didn't allow it. You have to know that after retaking the port, the World Government will continue to use it. The fact that it was occupied by the rebels for a few days has already caused the powerful to lose countless benefits. If the sea is frozen again and waited for the thawing time, it would simply be a death sentence for the powerful.

Therefore, the dignitaries at the top of the world government would rather sacrifice human lives to force a landing attack than allow a simpler solution like freezing the sea. After all, the death of a few horses is not a big deal, but if the masters cannot make money for several days in a row, it will be more painful than killing them.

Fortunately, Aokiji was there to provide protection, which gave the attackers some comfort and saved them from having to use their flesh and blood to touch the sturdy fortress.

In the city, after seeing the navy's advanced combat power take action, the remaining revolutionary party cadres completely gave up the idea of ​​a decisive battle with the government forces in the city.

Originally, they had planned to resist to the end in Genoa if the attacking enemy was not strong, even if it meant disobeying Marne's orders. But now, seeing the powerful force of the navy's top brass, the rebels had no choice but to break through and retreat. Fortunately, all the troops had been assembled, and even the troops at the artillery fort had withdrawn.

Everything was ready, except for the east wind, waiting for the revolutionary cadres to lead the troops to break through. According to the original plan, the rebels would not confront the government troops surrounding them from the sea, but would break through from another direction.

Compared to the government army, which has a large number of naval forces as its backbone, the Italian National Defense Force, which is supported by the gangs, is obviously much easier to fight. This is also in accordance with the instructions of the central government. You have to pick the persimmons and squeeze the soft ones.
