The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

In Roland Harbor, officers of the Babao Navy stationed there gathered in a conference room.

"Our negotiations with that force are about to begin. What do you think? Should we make concessions or take a tough stance to gain more benefits?" The commander sitting in the first seat said to everyone.

"Commander, I think we should give in. I have seen their army with my own eyes. They have already proven their strength. All we have to do is respect the strong." said one of the people in the lower position.

"No, if we give in so easily, won't people underestimate our Babao Navy? We should teach them a lesson and let them know their position." Another person quickly refuted.

The commander who presided over the meeting frowned as he listened to the officers below arguing. The officers were almost divided into two factions around the two views. In the end, the commander knocked heavily on the conference table, and the room became quiet again.

"It is indeed not advisable to provoke the revolutionary army nowadays." As the commander finished his words, some people in the audience showed joy on their faces, while others looked embarrassed.

The commander went on to say, "However, the interests of the Eight Treasures Navy will never be handed over so easily. Let's test them during the negotiations. If they don't deserve this respect, we will crush them."

After hearing this, the expressions of those officers with grim expressions gradually improved.

"Call back our people stationed in Zaun, and send those pirates and mercenaries to Zaun City. It is not appropriate for us to have a direct conflict with the Revolutionary Army now. Everything should be discussed after the negotiations." The commander ordered again.

While the Babao navy was discussing, Ma En also led the negotiation team to Roland Port. In addition to the senior cadres participating in the negotiations, the Revolutionary Party also mobilized the Red Flag Army to escort them.

“The main goal of our negotiations this time is to resolve the remaining territorial issues on Roland Island and reach a friendly agreement. Everything is done to better develop the base.

The minimum goal of the negotiations is to take back Zuan City. Military force is also used in this regard. If the negotiations cannot even achieve this goal, then in order to maintain the territorial integrity of the base, the revolutionary army will need to take action. "Ma En said to the people participating in the negotiations.

The negotiation team headed towards their goal under the escort of the army, and soon arrived at the key area of ​​the negotiation. The revolutionaries only needed to pass through Zaun City to reach Roland Port.

Then, welcomed by the Babao navy, the negotiation team entered Zaun City, and the army that followed was led by Little Gus and stationed outside Zaun City.

Walking in the city of Zaun, Marn found that it was no longer prosperous because the city had not yet recovered due to the war.

At the same time, Ma En also discovered that the people who were in control of the city now did not seem to be the Eight Treasures Navy. These people were extremely scattered in the city, and it was more likely that they were not even regular troops. If they were in charge, the recovery of Zaun City might be even more distant.

Seeing that Ma En had discovered something, the Eight Treasures navy that greeted them took the initiative to explain, "These people are pirates and mercenaries, bastards on the sea. In the previous war, they were hired by the Kingdom of Deya under the guarantee of our army.

Although the war is over now, our army attaches great importance to promises. Since we have made a guarantee, we will definitely take responsibility. After discussions between the two sides, our army decided to hand over the city of Zaun to them for garrison, so that they can have a place to stay. "

Then, he turned to Galen who came with Ma En and said, "General Galen, you should know this too. After all, you have fought together, so you can be considered comrades-in-arms."

Faced with the ridicule, Galen did not get angry. Now he has found a goal to strive for. As someone who often deals with the Babao Navy, he was also selected into the negotiation team this time.

After passing through Zu'an City, everyone came to Roland Port, the most prosperous city in the entire Roland Island. Unlike the withered inland area that had just experienced a war, Roland Port was still very prosperous, and all kinds of goods were traded at the port.

However, what attracted the most attention of the negotiators was not these prosperous trade activities, but the defensive fortress of Port Roland.

The sturdy and tall fortress has a range of artillery fire that is enough to cover the entire port. There are densely packed gun muzzles on the fort, and it seems that there are no less than 200 of them.

In addition, the fortress close to the sea has the warships of the Babao Navy behind it. The warships’ cannons can also provide cover at any time. It can be defended both on land and on sea, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is almost impossible to be captured by external forces.

The Babao navy who led the way also had a proud look on his face. Everyone who saw this fortress for the first time was surprised. This was also the reason why the Babao navy dared to occupy the biggest piece of fat on Roland Island, which was rife with war.

Then, Ma En and the others were finally taken to a temporary resting point. The negotiations would be held the next day. After a day of trekking, the negotiation team also began to rest.

At this time, Garen found Maen and told him the intelligence about the pirates stationed in Zaun City, and told the Revolutionary Army to be careful, after all, that group of people had betrayed before.

"I understand, but our army is not unprepared. Before coming here, I asked Comrade Gus to order the troops to be on alert. If the enemy dares to act recklessly, it will not be our comrades who will suffer.

Of course, this is just a possibility. What's more important is tomorrow's negotiations. If the Eight Treasures Navy can make concessions during the negotiations, the pirates won't be able to cause any trouble. "Ma En said confidently.

The next day, the negotiating teams from both sides finally met.

At the meeting, the two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation and fully exchanged views. The Babao Navy expressed its appreciation for the Revolutionary Army's proposal, and the Revolutionary Army also expressed its respect for the Babao Navy's corresponding rights. Finally, both sides expressed serious concern about the problems in Zuan City.

"Haha, Mr. Ma En, we had a very pleasant negotiation this time. However, I think our conversation could be more frank." said the commander of the Babao Navy.

"Commander Brunn, we are not enemies. This negotiation is very beneficial. At least, we have gained a better understanding of each other." Ma En replied with a smile.

"Hahaha, Mr. Ma En, you are really good at joking. To be honest, I personally admire you very much for being able to create such a big business in such a short period of time. In the Babao Navy, everyone calls you a pillar of talent.

However, my personal respect cannot affect the overall interests of the Babao Navy, and I am also a military man.

Well, let's solve the sea problem in the sea way, let's have a fight, Mr. Marne, what do you think?" Bron suggested with a big laugh.

"Let's wait and see!" Ma En replied with narrowed eyes.
