Naruto's Journey to Training

In the crowded commercial district of the Sabaody Archipelago, Long almost covered his entire body in a black cloak.

Looking at this bustling neighborhood, Long was thoughtful at the moment.

The current revolutionary army has been in existence for two or three years, but apart from developing a few countries in the New World, it has been frustrated in other areas.

It’s not that the local forces are so powerful, but that those places are almost all within the occupied areas of the empire.

At first, before the empire attacked, their revolutionary army could rely on the oppression of the nobles to rally a large number of civilians, but soon the empire came, and the team they had gathered quickly collapsed.

Under the empire's series of people-friendly policies, they had no breeding ground at all, compared to their slogans of anti-aristocracy and anti-oppression.

The Empire was even more thorough in its implementation of this aspect.

Whenever a place was invaded by the Empire, the Empire would pull out the problematic nobles in the early stages, find out the evidence of their crimes over the years, and conduct public trials.

Compared to the nobles they killed due to riots and hatred, the empire's legal sanctions are undoubtedly more just and popular.

And after each public trial, the empire would launch a large-scale legal education campaign.

In the legal text, the empire clearly declared that the laws of the empire apply equally to everyone, and whether they are nobles or commoners, anyone who violates the laws of the empire will be punished.

Long Ye read those laws one by one, especially the opening of the law book, which gave him a great shock.

"You can't do anything without legal authorization, but you can do anything unless prohibited by law!"

When seeing this sentence, Long's heart instinctively trembled. This sentence showed the empire's obedience to the law and also showed the empire's enforcement of the law.

As for the more detailed content, Long read it for three consecutive days.

Because the laws of the empire are so detailed and cover almost every aspect, a complete encyclopedia of the empire's laws alone is half a meter thick.

At first, Long thought that many people would not be able to bear the fact that the empire had designed so many laws. After all, the more laws there were, the more restrictions there would be on individuals.

But after actually reading it, Long was silent for a long time.

Because of these legal provisions, dragons seem to have evolved from various morals and customs. As long as you don't do evil, these legal provisions will never be applied to you.

Only then did he understand the difference between the Empire and them. Some of them joined the revolutionary army out of hatred, while others could not survive the oppression.

However, it is precisely because of this that most of them are filled with hatred towards the World Government and the nobles, and have never thought about how to establish a complete system after the destruction.

But look at what the empire did: it established schools, improved local medical facilities, solved local employment problems, and promoted equality for all under the law.

This series of dazzling operations left many cadres in the revolutionary army, not to mention Long, speechless. They suddenly felt that their previous efforts had become useless.

Because what the empire did was almost everything they could think of, and some things they didn't think of were also perfected by the empire for them. With such an empire, what revolution could they make? Should they revolutionize themselves?

This time, in addition to wanting to travel more within the empire and see if the policies of other parts of the empire are consistent, Long also wanted to go back to the East China Sea because his hometown seemed to have not been occupied by the empire yet.

Along the way, he found that the closer he got to the core area of ​​the empire, the more prosperous it became. Compared with the areas outside the empire, he felt like he had entered two different worlds.

Outside the empire, pirates are rampant, slaves are rampant, and the nobles are still high and mighty. But within the empire, business is prosperous and there are laughter and joy everywhere. Children walking home from school along the way are all in high spirits, dressed neatly and cleanly, and in good shape. They walk on the street as if they were the children of the nobility.

Such changes made Long feel that if the Empire ruled the world, there would be no need for their Revolutionary Army to exist at all, because the Empire created a world that they could only dream of.

This is what they think and do. Now many cadres of the revolutionary army are seeking opportunities for development in the empire.

Long had no complaints about this. He returned to the East China Sea for two reasons: one was to see his son whom he had not seen for many years, and the other was to contact his father to seek an opportunity to join the development of the empire.

After all, he also wanted to serve such a capital city.

Thinking of this, Long gradually walked towards the port of Sabaody Archipelago.

Five days later.

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

In an open space not far from a tavern, many villagers were gathered in a circle, with different expressions, some nervous and some curious.

Among them, three parties were confronting each other.

On one side is Red-Hair Shanks and his crew, on the other side is Garp who followed Red-Hair Shanks, and on the other side is naturally Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army who had just returned home.

"Shanks, I was right. You came to the East China Sea with bad intentions!"

"Mr. Garp, Ace is already so old and he has the right to make his own choice!" the red-haired man replied helplessly.

"Hmph! What right to choose? I want to accompany you to become a ruined pirate? Don't even think about it. I advise you to leave the East China Sea as soon as possible and don't force me to do it." Garp said angrily.

"You can't stop a young boy from pursuing the right to freedom!" Shanks retorted a little guiltily.

During this period of time, he has traveled around the empire and has seen the development of the empire over the years. To be honest, he is becoming less and less confident about the future that the captain expects.

"Humph! To pursue freedom, you have to be a pirate? You think the Empire's adventurers are just a joke!"

"Yes, I think my father is right!" Long suddenly said.

Garp was stunned and looked at his rebellious son with some suspicion.

Long suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at by his father with suspicion.

At this time, Ace, Luffy and Sabo all looked confused.

The three brothers were training well on the island when suddenly a pirate wearing a straw hat came over and asked them if they wanted to be the Pirate King.

He also enthusiastically invited them to Masno's tavern for a big meal and told them a lot of exciting stories about pirates, which made the three of them feel very excited.

Just when the three of them were about to say that they wanted to be the Pirate King, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open.

His grandfather walked in angrily and punched the three of them hard without saying a word. The bumps on their heads haven't gone away yet.

Then the door of the tavern was opened again, and a mysterious man in a black cloak walked in. Garp, who was about to fight with Red Hair, was stunned, and then it turned into the current three-way confrontation.

"Grandpa, even if you try to stop me, I will still go out to sea, because we have already agreed that I will go out to sea to see this endless world when I turn 17!"

Ace yelled, holding his head.

Whether it's a pirate, an adventurer, or a navy, among these three, the navy is the only direction he will not choose.

As for whether he is a pirate or an adventurer, Ace actually leans more towards being a pirate at this moment.

Because Shanks is a good storyteller, the passionate stories about pirates he told really made Ace full of yearning.

"You can go out to sea, but you must not be a pirate!" Veins popped out on Garp's forehead, and his hands couldn't help but itch again.

"Why! Old man!" Ace yelled stubbornly.

"Because if you become a pirate, you can't leave the East China Sea!"

Garp answered confidently that in all these years, no pirate from the East China Sea had ever been able to enter the Grand Line from within the Empire.

Almost all the pirates who had this idea died under the Empire's powerful ships and cannons.

But Garp still doesn't understand why the Empire didn't take action against his hometown.

He has reported this matter to the Imperial Cabinet more than once. After all, the areas occupied by the Empire have now developed greatly. As a native of Donghai, how can he not be anxious?

The proposal was raised to higher authorities time and again, but was rejected time and again. Anyway, the cabinet’s comment was that the time was not right.

But it is true that the time has not yet come. The East China Sea is where the protagonist of this world lives, and it is related to many children of destiny in the future.

Once the empire takes action against the protagonist of this world without controlling most of the luck, the laws of this world will have to fight to the death.

Yu didn't want to fight to the death with the main consciousness of this world right now, and end up with a broken world, so the focus of the empire has always been on the new world.

But now, after gaining Whitebeard's loyalty, most of the world's fortune has fallen into Yu's hands.

So Yu didn't plan to be patient any longer. He had stayed in this world long enough, and he decided it was time to speed up his integration into this world.

Ace turned his head away in disbelief. He just wanted to be a pirate and become the Pirate King as Shanks said!
