Chapter 28 Inspiration

After a brief acquaintance on the way, Geer urged Long to pay for the meal first.

Back on the boat, Chef Fate had already prepared a feast.

Everyone sat around the dining table enjoying the food, chatting and laughing in a nice atmosphere.

Whenever he sat down to eat with his family, Geer couldn't help but sigh that it would be nice if life could continue in such a peaceful way.

Traveling and adventuring with this group of interesting friends, experiencing different customs and cultures, tasting local delicacies, eating, sleeping and playing, and then marrying a beautiful wife, starting a family and having children when you grow up, isn't this a happy life?

What else are you pursuing?

But Gel understood better than anyone that in this turbulent era, it was not easy to live a peaceful life.

The strong prey on the weak, and those who fall behind will be beaten. Only by constantly increasing his own strength can Gel maintain the warmth on the boat at this moment.

Long was not polite at all, probably because he had already paid for the meal and it would be a bit of a loss if he didn't eat more.

The ingredients currently used on Gel's ship are all produced by the system, and their taste is far superior to ordinary ingredients. The gap between the two can no longer be made up by cooking skills alone.

The top-quality ingredients combined with the meticulous cooking of top chef Fate make this dish truly one of the rarest delicacies in the world.

Long has been wandering alone for a long time recently and has not had many proper meals.

They couldn't stop eating such delicious food at this time. The eating gene of the Monk family was instantly awakened, and Long suddenly felt that the one million Baileys were well worth it.

After dinner, Geer bought a can of high-quality oolong tea and a set of Kung Fu tea sets from the mall. Soon, a fresh tea fragrance filled the room.

Long was very satisfied with the meal. The warm, cozy, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere on Gel's ship made him immersed in it, and he almost forgot why he came here.

"Mr. Gill, I..."

Long finally remembered the important matter, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Geer:

"No hurry, drink tea first."

Several people picked up the steaming teacups and drank. Geer squinted his eyes and tasted it, with a kind smile on his face, thinking in his heart:

Since the comfort zone is comfortable, why do we have to jump out of it?

Then Geer bought a bunch of snacks and put them on the table for everyone to share.

Bi Ya took a piece of cake and ate it with cream all over her face.

Uncle Fate frowned as he ate, trying to decipher the secret recipe.

Weeble and Moria each had a big bag of spicy strips, and they had a very good understanding when it came to eating.

Senior took a pack of egg rolls and ate them like a big shot smoking a cigar.

Gel was calmly drinking tea, cracking melon seeds, and preparing to listen to Long's story.

Long suddenly felt a little dazed. He felt that the aura of this young man, Geer, changed after drinking the tea, giving him the illusion of a retired old man.

"Crack, bang."

Long took a handful of seeds of some unknown plant that Gel handed over to him and started eating them just like Gel did.

"Hmm! It smells so good! Um, no, I want to ask, Captain Gill, what do you think of this world?"

After Long came to the boat, he took off his cloak. He was now wearing a black suit with an orange lining. His black hair was casually draped behind his head, and his facial expression was extremely serious and solemn.

Gel looked at his face without any shoe sole marks and felt that something was missing. He put down his teacup and smiled:

"Haha, how do you see the world? Of course I see it with my eyes! Dragon."

Although he knew that the guy in front of him would become the leader of a revolutionary army that would rebel against the World Government, Gur didn't know whether Dragon had already rebelled against the Navy and was starting a revolution, or was just confused and looking around for the answer in his heart.

In either case, Geer would not immediately state his position.

Although Long looks big and strong, he is a meticulous man. He soon realized that he and Geer had only known each other for less than a few hours, and it would be inconvenient for the other person to answer such a sensitive question.

Long continued:

"I'm sorry, I was so rude. I wonder if Captain Gill is interested in listening to my story first?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Gel thought to himself, the tea is ready, and the melon seeds are already being cracked, am I not just waiting for you to tell a story?

It would be great if I could gossip about your love story so that I can solve the mystery of the Straw Hat guy in advance.

Perhaps because he felt that what he was about to say was a bit shocking, Long looked at the foodies next to him hesitantly.

Gel understood what he meant and waved his hand:

"No need to avoid it. There are no outsiders here. Everyone present is my family whom I can trust with my life. Just speak up."

The people who were eating snacks nearby felt warmed in their hearts when they heard Captain Gel's words.

Long nodded, somewhat envious of Geer for having so many reliable companions, and then he began to speak slowly:

His father Garp is a famous naval hero. Garp has arranged for Long to undergo various inhuman training since he was a child. Garp and a group of uncles and aunts in the navy are very optimistic about him and try their best to train him into a future pillar of the navy.

Long is also very competitive. He has been determined to eradicate the darkness in the world and implement the justice in his heart since he was a child. He is very talented, trains hard, and studies very seriously. He soon possesses the strength and character that far exceeds his peers.

Gel thought to himself: When Long was in school, he was probably the most hopeless hard-working genius.

Long devoted himself to the navy, a cause full of glory and justice, with full of passion and longing.

But as his military rank rose and he was able to access more insider secrets, he became more disappointed with the navy. Long saw the incompetence and compromise of the navy and realized that this was not the justice in his mind at all.

"Captain Gol, do you know? The navy that represents justice is actually the running dog of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Even if it is an order that goes against justice, the navy has to obey orders no matter how reluctantly! It's really ridiculous!"

Long became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he clenched his hands and roared in anger.

"The navy that claims to be righteous is also dark! The greatest evil in this world is the group of arrogant Celestial Dragons. Only by overthrowing their rule can the world have equality, freedom, harmony, and be full of hope again!"

"Captain Gul, I can feel that you are also a person with justice in your heart, so I would like to invite you to join me in overthrowing this corrupt world government and creating a brand new world together!"

Gel muttered to himself:

You can feel shit, you can feel it, are you a time traveler or am I a time traveler? Is this how you deceived Daxiong and Ivankov into being loyal to you?

Geer drank his tea calmly and did not speak in a hurry.

...

"Hahahahaha!"

The room was silent except for the sound of Weeble chewing spicy strips. He was still young and didn't know much, so he had no idea what this man was talking about for so long.

Bi Ya was concentrating on eating snacks and was not listening at all.

Moriah and Senior both had fanatical looks on their faces, waiting for the captain's order to lead the charge and attack Marijoa.

Moriah likes to stir up trouble, he wants to take part in a big event like overthrowing the world government, he will surely become famous!

And Senior simply thought that this kind of horrifying thing that most people would not even dare to think about sounded very manly! Going head-on with a giant like the World Government! Just thinking about it made him excited!

Only Uncle Fate was shocked.

Everyone's abnormal reactions made Fate, the only one with a normal reaction, seem a little abnormal.

Fate picked up the teacup and took another sip, confirming once again that it was tea, not wine, in the cup. He didn't know why this guy Long got drunk after drinking and started shouting that he wanted to overthrow the World Government.

Fate hurried out to check if there were any ears behind the walls. If someone heard these remarks and reported them, a new bounty order for everyone would be seen in the newspaper tomorrow.

“Pah, pah…”

Ger held his chin and tapped lightly on the table with his index and middle fingers.

Long did not disturb the other party's thinking. It was already very good that he could remain calm after listening to his words and did not chase him away. This meant that there was still a chance to win him over.

Gel spoke slowly:

"Well, you are going to kill the Celestial Dragons!"

Long's eyes lit up when he heard this! He said in surprise:

"Yes! Revolution! That's a good word. You are worthy of being Captain Gill. It's decided! The organization I want to establish will be called the Revolutionary Army!"

Gel was stunned at first. It turned out that you have been shouting for a long time that you want to overthrow the World Government, but you haven’t even thought of a name for the organization. You are just a commander without troops.

"Ahem, Long, you are right. The greatest darkness in this world is the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. So it's fine if you want to overthrow their rule, but why do you think that after the overthrow, there will be a new world of harmony, equality and freedom?"

"Hmm? Captain Gill, what do you mean?"

Long was a little confused. If the corrupt world government was overthrown, wouldn't a new world be born?

Geer went on to explain:

"The young dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon. After your revolutionary army or other organizations replace the World Government, there is a high probability that they will slowly become as corrupt as the World Government and the Celestial Dragons."

"I will never betray the justice in my heart!"

Long patted his chest and assured:

"I can trust your character and your personality, and I have no doubt about your determination. You are willing to devote yourself to the cause of liberating the world without asking for anything in return, and even to sacrifice your life. But how many people can be as selfless as you are?"

"How can you guarantee that those who are not just and willing to contribute to this cause will not betray this great cause halfway? Or become new Tianlong people after reaping the fruits of victory? Even if they don't, what about their descendants? The Tianlong people were not a bunch of good-for-nothings 800 years ago."

"this…"

At this time, Long had only witnessed the incompetence of the navy and the darkness of the world government. He resolutely chose to leave the navy and wanted to overthrow the corrupt world government, but he did not have a mature idea, so he was suddenly stumped by a series of questions from Gol.

"The vested interests currently under the rule of the world government will never voluntarily give up the privileges they enjoy."

Just after saying "absolutely", Gol suddenly thought of his good brother Doflamingo's father and the future second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo, and could only add one more sentence:

"Well, unless you have a problem with your brain! So the only people who can join you are the lower class people who have been exploited and oppressed to the point where they can't survive."

"Yes! That's right! We can incite those oppressed people to rise up in rebellion. They are our natural supporters, and there are many of them!"

Long pounded his right hand on the palm of his left hand, looking as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

Gel shook his head and asked:

"These people are oppressed to the point where they can't survive and won't resist. Why do you think that is?"

Long thought for a moment and said:

"Because they have been oppressed for so long, they have become numb and have completely lost their fighting spirit."

"No, that's only a small part of the reason. The main reason is that they are too weak! If they resist, they will die. If they don't resist, they may not die. What do you think they will choose?"
