Chapter 491: Asking For Information And Enlightening Sabo
After returning to the Dragon Hunter Pirates, Ryuunosuke imdiately handed Roy and Imu over to Najenda to receive them.
After all, Najenda was already very familiar with that kind of work.
Ryuunosuke then headed straight back to his own cabin.
"Beru beru..."
He took out a Den Den Mushi and connected the line.
"Brother?"
"What is it?"
"Aren’t you on your way to Raftel right now?"
"It cannot be that hard if you still have ti to call ."
Sabo’s voice ca from the Den Den Mushi, the snail’s expression twisting to match his tone.
"Sabo, I told you to go to Impel Down and find Vegapunk."
"Can you tell in detail what happened back then?"
Ryuunosuke got straight to the point.
If Sabo knew anything unusual, he would be able to judge it from this conversation.
"Vegapunk?"
"Wasn’t he taken away by the World Governnt?"
"At that ti, we saw the World Governnt ship that took him."
"What is wrong?"
"Why are you suddenly bringing him up now?"
Sabo was clearly taken aback.
That incident had happened a long ti ago.
For Ryuunosuke to bring it up now, did it an sothing important was connected to Vegapunk?
Even so, no matter how important Vegapunk was, it was hard to imagine it tying into the massive war they had just gone through.
So much ti had passed. Any ripple from that event should have faded long ago. It should not be enough to make his brother worry now.
"Are you sure he was taken by the World Governnt?"
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
"Or did soone tell you afterward?"
Ryuunosuke asked again.
"I saw it myself."
"I took part in that operation."
"I still rember the battle that day clearly."
"Brother, why are you acting so strange? What happened?"
Sabo could not help asking.
"I see. I get it now."
"It is nothing serious. I just reached a cooperation with Mr Roy, and during our talk Vegapunk’s na ca up."
Ryuunosuke briefly explained what had happened on his side.
"Mr Roy?"
"Wait..."
"Brother, this Roy you are talking about, he is the one behind the World Governnt, right?"
"The one who holds real power above Imu?"
Only then did Sabo realize that the Mr Roy Ryuunosuke ntioned was a central figure of the World Governnt.
Not only that, he was the man pulling the strings in the shadows.
The clash between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the World Governnt had caused a huge storm across the seas.
And now, under those circumstances, Ryuunosuke had actually chosen to cooperate with Roy.
For a mont, Sabo was so shocked he did not know what to say.
"Yeah."
"There are no absolute enemies in this world."
"Before, our conflict was simply a clash of interests."
Ryuunosuke said calmly.
Then he told Sabo everything that had happened this ti.
After listening, Sabo fell silent.
"Brother, then what is the aning of our existence?"
"Does the Revolutionary Army still need to continue?"
"The World Governnt is already in tatters, right?"
"Then what are we even doing..."
Sabo’s thoughts were in chaos.
According to Ryuunosuke, the current supre ruler of the World Governnt had entered into cooperation with the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
In other words, the World Governnt could now be considered a partner of his brother.
In that case, would the Revolutionary Army’s actions from now on conflict with what Ryuunosuke and the Dragon Hunter Pirates were doing?
Just thinking about that made Sabo feel suffocated.
It was completely beyond what he could accept.
"The Revolutionary Army?"
"How exactly does your Revolutionary Army have anything to do with what we are talking about this ti?"
Ryuunosuke asked, genuinely puzzled.
Sabo, who had already been feeling conflicted, was stunned even more when he heard that.
"How can it not be related?"
"Brother, if you cooperate with the World Governnt, won’t what we do clash with you?"
"If there is a conflict like that, then everything we have done before, and the path we followed under your guidance..."
Sabo’s voice rose as his emotions spilled over.
He blurted out everything bottled up in his heart.
After listening, Ryuunosuke felt a little embarrassed.
He really had not explained himself clearly just now.
Anyone hearing that he had joined hands with the man behind the World Governnt would think the sa way Sabo did.
The Revolutionary Army’s goal was to overthrow the World Governnt’s rule over the world.
Yet now, the elder brother Sabo admired most had chosen to cooperate with the boss of that sa World Governnt.
It was only natural for Sabo to feel lost.
"Sabo, the purpose of your Revolutionary Army is to overthrow the rule of the World Governnt, right?"
Ryuunosuke took a deep breath and asked slowly.
"Yes."
Sabo answered without hesitation.
He had devoted more than ten years of his life to that cause.
Even if Ryuunosuke and Roy were now working together, that belief had not changed in his heart.
At least, that was what he thought.
"Then why do you want to overthrow the World Governnt?"
Ryuunosuke asked again.
Sabo was stunned.
There were countless reasons for wanting to topple the World Governnt.
First, there was its brutal rule, squeezing the lower classes dry, wielding cruelty against ordinary people without restraint.
The Heavenly Tribute, the plundering of slaves, the seizure of the wealth of countless nations.
To Sabo, all those things were written in blood.
If Dragon had not saved him back then, he would have already died under the boot of those World Governnt scum who treated human lives like trash.
As long as the World Governnt continued to exist, more lives in this world would be crushed.
That alone was enough.
"So this is the kind of regi you want to overthrow, right?"
"Not just the World Governnt."
"No matter what governnt, no matter what kingdom."
"Whenever a rule like that appears, the Revolutionary Army should rise up against it."
"The World Governnt is only a symbol of that system."
"What the Revolutionary Army needs to do is change the world completely, not just let this sa system repeat under a different na."
"It is the system that needs to be overturned, not the people themselves."
Ryuunosuke spoke quietly but firmly.
Sabo, who had been so agitated a mont ago, fell silent.
He had always thought he understood the ideals of the Revolutionary Army better than anyone.
But compared to what Ryuunosuke had just said, he suddenly realized how shallow his own understanding still was.
Whether it was enlightennt or insight, there was a huge gap between them.
