The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Then let me offer some advice."

As soon as Mary finished her statement, an old man with a long beard stood up from his seat.

"Xihai, Oklai, the president of Xihai Free Association."

Long immediately introduced it to Mary.

Mary nodded:

"Please tell me."

"From what you said, you prefer ideological struggle rather than armed struggle?"

Oakley stroked his beard and said: "As long as the values ​​​​constructed by the world government can be shattered, the revolution can be successful even without violence. Is this true in your opinion?"

"No, I do not ignore the importance of violence."

Mary replied calmly: "As I said just now, the foundation of the world government is their power. And after suppressing the resistance with force, they began to subtly shape the identity."

"If we want to defeat the values ​​of the world government, we must crush them violently."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Oakley had a rather aggressive attitude: "What should we do after violent resistance? Building a country through violence will not follow the old path of world government. Strength will breed power. When the violence that breaks the balance is controlled by a few people,

I’m afraid a new world government will be formed, right?”

"First of all, establishing a country through violence does not mean that strength is the foundation of the country."

Mary raised a finger: "Violence, the law of the jungle, is indeed a law of nature. But the reason why people establish civilization and countries is to transcend simple violence."

"Our revolution is to reduce the impact of violence in life and create an order that transcends pure violence."

"But how to do it?"

At this time, another middle-aged man wearing a cloak spoke.

"People like Mr. Long, the Four Emperors, and Generals can turn the entire war situation around with their own personal power. With people like this existing, how can we neutralize the impact of violence?"

This time, before Long could speak, Mary answered directly:

"Power is of two kinds, destructive and creative."

"It is undeniable that the power of destruction is in the hands of a very small number of people. But what about the power of creativity?"

"The so-called violence is destructive power, and we must not only make good use of destructive power, but also emphasize the importance of creative power in the world."

"Creative power?"

The middle-aged man frowned.

"Yes." Mary nodded, "This power is not in the hands of a few people."

"Just think about it, whether it's cities, bases, or various trades, the things we are familiar with every day, were they built by a few people?"

"The value created by the majority of people has built the world we live in. However, before this, the vast majority of people did not realize the precious power they hold. We need to let the majority of people understand their abilities and let them

They learn how to talk to powerful people."

"The things they create are their weapons."

"I see."

At this time, a woman sitting at the bottom of the table also spoke.

She gently clasped the table: "Suppose all the ordinary people under the rule of the world government die, then all social functions will stop in an instant. Then the entire world government will be ashamed of itself. Is this the so-called creative power?"

"You understand correctly. Of course, there is no need for such an extreme form of resistance as death."

Mary smiled: "Going on strike, or joining us, is a way of resistance."

"The World Government has been emphasizing the importance of violence, so much so that it uses it to shape the image and identity of the Celestial Dragons. If we let this concept spread, let alone whether the rule of the World Government will be shaken, whether it will happen again in the future

It’s hard to talk about a world government.”

"But what we can understand cannot be understood by anyone in the world government that has ruled the world for eight hundred years."

At this time, the woman asked Mary: "Is it possible for the world government to use such power to check and balance us?"

"No, after a real war, the people will only stand on our side."

Mary said confidently.

"Why?"

"Because no matter how high-sounding the World Government makes its claims, they are still fighting for the interests of a few people. For example, the Tianlong people, such as the Five Old Stars, this range covers all the ruling classes."

"And our revolution, to put it simply, is to liberate the world and make life less difficult for ordinary people."

"So, if you stand on the side of the minority, why do you think you can get the support of the majority? By violence?"

"But now the world has been turbulent for a long time, and ordinary people's resentment towards the world government has reached a level that is difficult to suppress with violence. And we are going to light this fuse now."

She faced the woman, and although the other woman still thought Mary was blind, she could feel a sharp gaze falling on her.

"They will help whoever is good to them, and whoever gets their help will win."

The power of violence is not absolute. Even if Mary now has the strength of the Yonko level, she still firmly believes in this view.

She didn't feel this way before she experienced so much blood and fire, but the more battles she experienced, the more deeply she understood the power of the group.

She had also thought before that in the world of One Piece, where one person could surpass thousands of armies, whether the theories from her previous life could be applied in this world. But after carefully recalling her past battles, and last night, she carefully recalled

After looking at some of the struggles in her previous life, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Although the world of One Piece has extraordinary power, there is actually no substantial difference from the previous world in terms of social nature.

It's simple, because more than 99% of the world's production is still in the hands of ordinary people.

The people's view of history believes that the people create history, and the same is true in the One Piece world. Although there are elves and other things, there is no so-called "Creator". The world has developed step by step and is still created by ordinary people.

In the people's war, the people themselves are not at the forefront, but provide various logistical assistance as the rear of the army. This is the [creative] force that Mary just mentioned.

Once these two core issues are clarified, the idea will be very clear.

What the lady said before was that they can understand the importance of the people, and there will be people in the world government who understand it. Although Mary continued following her words, she actually did not agree with her point of view.

In the world of One Piece with extraordinary power, even dragons rely on their personal power to lead the revolution without paying attention to the importance of the people. Otherwise, they would not have been working for so many years and still be just a "revolutionary army" instead of a "revolutionary government"

.

Mary felt that if she hadn't mentioned it, most of the people present would still be unable to realize the power of the masses.

Everyone has a simple desire to bring happiness to the masses, but they all ignore that the masses themselves can strive for happiness for themselves. Even those who think about the masses are like this, let alone the world government.

After settling the lady, a bespectacled scholar stood up and asked Mary questions non-stop:

"So since the power of the masses is so important, then we don't need the power of individuals? Your Excellency Wenyue, there is a loophole in your words."

"You said that the masses are putting up with the World Government. However, if we did not destroy the authority of the Tianlong people, then this kind of rule may continue to exist. So what role do a few of us, or Mr. Wenyue personally, play in this situation?

How does it compare with others?"

"Without your leadership, perhaps nothing would have happened."

Faced with this question, which was almost a word game, Mary was not angry.

There is no room for loopholes in the theoretical system. As long as questions are raised, she will try her best to answer them. This is also her own improvement.

What's more, it is very simple to answer this question. The question raised by the other party is a very simple debate between the heroic view of history and the people's view of history.

"There is no possibility." Mary replied, "History is destined that without me, there will be another person like me. It's not that I caused the power of the masses to appear, it was already there."

"Even without me, the fighting of the revolutionary army will destroy the rule of the world government. Once there are problems with the other party's rule and the areas that lose their rule begin to fall into chaos, people will naturally discover the power they have."

"And as long as there is oppression, the revolutionary army will appear."

"Instead of saying that I brought about such a change, it is better to think about it: if the world government worked hard to govern, would there be a revolutionary army today, and would I be there?"

"Individuals cannot change history."

"What about Roger the Pirate King?"

A bald man immediately asked, "He is the man who started the era of great pirates. Doesn't he change history?"

"Was it Roger who brought about the great pirate era, or was it the countless pirates?"

Mary responded tit-for-tat: "What an individual can do is to guide, but it will never be an individual who truly creates history."

The glasses were silent.

Long's face remained expressionless, but he still couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Mary.

Too exaggerated...

Staring at the scrutinizing eyes of dozens of people and facing the extremely sharp words of several people, he was able to resolve them one by one, rendering the questioner speechless.

It's hard to find fault with the logic, but at least they can answer each other's questions perfectly.

Let alone how clear the other party's thinking is, just this kind of eloquence...

Weiwei, on the other hand, lowered her head to prevent her smile from appearing too rude.

Compared to others in the venue, she had a deep understanding of how powerful Mary's mouth was.

Now Mary's tone is much softer than before the liberation of Alabasta, but even so, it is difficult to match her momentum or confidence.

This is normal for Mary.

Anyone who has lived in the information age, as long as they have been on the Internet, they have more or less experience of being in contact with people. To put it bluntly, debating with these few people now is more difficult than debating with a dozen people at the same time on the Internet.

It's much easier to line up.

After all, these people are still reasonable.

Just after the venue was quiet for more than ten seconds, and no one had spoken for a long time, Long was about to move on to the next agenda, when a somewhat lazy voice suddenly came.

“Is this goal really achievable?”

"Tap."

The long table shook slightly, and everyone looked around, only to see a young man with his eyes half-squinted, his legs resting directly on the table.

In such a meeting, this gesture is undoubtedly extremely indecent and offensive.

"He is the leader of the Northern Citadel resistance organization, Garit Vargas. A quite famous leader of the martial arts faction."

Long introduced in a deep voice.

However, even as a martial arts sect, this style of conduct is still a bit rude.

Mary didn't care whether his behavior was polite or not. But she could feel that as soon as this man named Garrit spoke, the atmosphere in the entire conference room changed.

Specifically...

The other person made her feel very uncomfortable. After the blood came close to him, she could feel a subtle natural repulsion.

"What's your opinion?"

"Mr. Wenyue means that we need to let ordinary people know that they can threaten the powerful, and use this method to complete the changes of the times."

"But unfortunately, the biggest difficulty in this problem does not lie with the world government or us, but rather with the masses, who are the biggest obstacle to achieving this goal."

He spread his hands and his tone was quite carefree and cynical.

"The masses will endlessly separate those who have made achievements from themselves, try every means to find differences, and then label them as aliens. This is not only true for Celestial Dragons, pirates, and officials."

"And a hero is also a kind of person."

"If we lead them to victory, then this should be a victory for the entire group over another group. But ordinary people will not care. They will divide those who resist the world government into heroes and civilians, and those who have the ability will be classified as heroes, and those who have no ability will be classified as heroes.

Those who are capable are civilians. When civilians become successful again, I am afraid there will be civilian heroes and civilians, and the cycle continues."

"For ordinary people, civilians can only be the most incompetent group, because civilians cannot have the ability to achieve things. Those who achieve things cannot be civilians, and their deeds will automatically be classified as heroic epics. Even if you are just because of your brain or even

It’s not possible to do things by luck, because ordinary people shouldn’t have this kind of brains or luck.”

"This is human nature. Civilians and heroes are relative to them. Those who are capable cannot be civilians. This is human nature. So in this case, how can we let others understand the power of the masses?

After all, as you said, no matter how history develops, people like you must be born to ignite the fuse of the masses."

"Then, aren't heroes indispensable to history?"

Looking at Garrett's deep eyes that didn't match his appearance, Mary suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, she revealed a strange smile.

"Mr. Garrett...did you ask this question?"
