The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Raven followed the merchant ship, but unexpectedly encountered pirates in the safe waters planned by the World Government. At this critical moment, several ships of unknown forces appeared and rescued them.

The captain of the merchant ship was a little worried. Although the threat of pirates was gone, those new ships were obviously more difficult to deal with than the pirates. The pirate ship that was just showing off its might had been sunk. In front of the merchant ship, they were collecting pirate prisoners.

"Hey, here, here." A voice came from the merchant ship, loud enough for the people on those ships to hear. Sure enough, after collecting all the pirate captives, those ships began to move towards the merchant ship.

The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became tense, but there was one person who seemed very relaxed, and that person was Riven who had just shouted.

At this time, Raven noticed the tense atmosphere on the ship, so he explained, "Don't worry, everyone. I know them. They are all very good people."

As he spoke, Raven picked up a little red book and pointed to the pattern on the cover, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the red flag opposite.

The old captain of the merchant ship took a deep breath and said, "If you are an old acquaintance of Miss Raven, then there will be no problem. Everyone has recognized your character after spending some time with you." The other people on the ship also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Slowly, the ships finally came over. From the nearest ship, someone stuck his head out and asked enthusiastically, "Hey, is there anything I can help you with?"

This made the people on the merchant ship feel a little guilty. After all, the other party had just rescued them and was still so enthusiastic, but they were still doubting each other just now.

The old captain was also a decisive man. Seeing that there was no danger, he extended an invitation to the people on those ships. At this time, Raven also shouted, stating that he was from the base and asked for help.

So, they successfully invited the Red Flag Army militiamen on several ships to the merchant ship, and a banquet began.

At the banquet held on the merchant ship, people from both sides were having a great time. What the people on the merchant ship did not expect was that these people, who they thought were more brutal than pirates, were actually very approachable.

During the dinner, Raven confessed to the captains of the revolutionary ships that she was not from the West Sea, but from the base in the South Sea. This time, she was going to her hometown, which was Roland Island, the center of the revolutionary base in the West Sea, at the request of an old friend.

Upon hearing that Riven was going to Roland Island, several members of the Revolutionary Army became a little wary. After all, the defense and security of Roland Island was also an important responsibility of their Red Flag Army fleet.

Raven saw that they were on guard, so he took out the little red book and waved it in front of them. "This book was given to me by my revolutionary friend in the South China Sea. It is said to be the original handwritten by the leader of the revolutionary party. This should be able to prove my identity."

When Raven said this, the people on the opposite side looked at each other, and then one of them said, "Miss, can you let us see the book? We need to confirm it."

Raven threw the book to them without hesitation. They hurriedly caught the book and then studied it at the banquet without paying attention to anyone else.

"Is it real?" "It seems to be real. There is Mr. Maan's signature on it." "How did she get it? I want this too."

The sound of several people discussing quietly could be heard, but Raven did not move, just watched them check the little book.

For some reason, Raven felt a sense of relief in her heart. She seemed to understand how Li felt when he took out the book.

After a while, several people solemnly covered the book and handed it back rigorously. "Miss, we have another question. Who is the friend who gave you the book?"

"My friend, I usually call him Li. You should be familiar with this name." Ruiwen said calmly.

Actually, Riven didn't think that he and Li were friends. After all, they didn't have much communication from beginning to end, but it was okay for him to take advantage of the power of others now.

"It's Commissioner Li." One of them said in surprise.

"That's no problem. Commissioner Li is also one of the founders of the party. It's normal for him to get the manuscript from Mr. Marx and Engels." Another person replied.

So, the three of them discussed for a while, and one of them said to Raven solemnly, "Since you are an old friend of our Revolutionary Party, then if you want to go to Roland Island, we can arrange a route for you, which is absolutely safe and reliable."

Raven looked at the captain beside him and said, "Look, captain, I have accepted your employment and I cannot leave now."

The captain faced the gazes of several people and could only bite the bullet and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. For safety reasons, merchant ships can only sail along the safe routes planned by the World Government. Other routes are too dangerous, and merchant ships cannot withstand any losses."

At this time, a captain of the Revolutionary Army said, "If you are worried about the threat of pirates, then please feel free to take our route. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the route, the party will send a team to patrol the route.

We are one of them, and we guarantee that there is no threat from pirates. By the way, do you remember the pirate ship before? It was one of the ships we drove away. But it was unlucky that it ran into us again this time. "

Hearing this, the old captain of the merchant ship was also a little moved, "So, you revolutionaries have been actively fighting against pirates, but what good does this do you?"

"Benefits? If it were for benefits, we would not join the revolutionary party. Our purpose is to serve the people. We firmly support everything that is beneficial to the people and firmly oppose everything that is harmful to the people.

Our route is open to everyone, and as a cost for maintaining the route, we only collect 2% tax from the caravans passing through the route." One person explained to the old captain.

"This... this." The old captain was speechless. Compared with the World Government, this amount of money was too low. Now he finally believed that the purpose of the Revolutionary Party was to serve the people. Normally, this amount of money was not enough to maintain the route. It could be said to be charity.

The facts are indeed not far from what the old captain thought. If it is a normal organization, based on certain losses, this money is indeed not enough for the most basic maintenance.

However, the Revolutionary Party is different. As a new and vibrant organization, it has achieved zero loss, which other organizations on the sea dare not think of. This is why the Revolutionary Party can operate the route at such a low fee. However, even so, it is only enough to maintain the balance of expenses on the route.

Finally, under the enthusiastic invitation of the members of the Revolutionary Army and with the guarantee of Raven, the merchant ship decided to accept the help of the Revolutionary Army and sail on a route that had never been navigated before.

After the banquet, the two sides said goodbye to each other reluctantly. The revolutionary army ships continued patrolling with the pirate prisoners, while the merchant ships sailed towards another unknown route.
