Chapter 207: Chapter 208: The Panicked World Government
Jotaro walked out of the bookstore, and already several hours had passed.
By now the person might have long since left Loguetown.
However, that tall man had not moved at all since he left, standing firmly inside the store, from afar looking just like a straight and tall pine or cypress.
After a long time, this remote and quiet place suddenly erupted with earth-shaking laughter.
The shop owner covered his ears, looking at him worriedly.
The great revolutionary leader, Monkey D. Dragon, was, for the first time in front of him, losing his composure like this.
After laughing, Monkey D. Dragon again began to sigh desolately.
"Pity, pity, that he seemed not to be interested in my revolutionary cause."
During their conversation, he had repeatedly hinted indirectly, wanting to pull Jotaro into joining.
In his view, Jotaro was truly a rare talent, not only rich in revolutionary experience, but also having reached a peerless level in revolutionary theory.
He really could not understand why a young man in his early twenties would possess such abundant knowledge.
Regrettably, faced with his repeated invitations, Jotaro declined them all politely.
Monkey D. Dragon pressed a hand to his forehead, saying in vexation, "What I’ve done is still not good enough... I am still far from a true revolutionary."
He felt it was the mistakes he made in the revolution that caused Jotaro to feel disappointed, and thus to reject him.
"That kid must be putting on a mysterious front. At his age, how could he possibly have such rich revolutionary experience?" The shop owner speculated.
"If he were really that capable, why have we never heard of such a person? The World Government would never allow someone like that to exist."
Dragon glared at him.
This shop owner was an intelligence agent of the Revolutionary Army. Though a member of the Revolutionary Army, his level was limited, and his understanding of the word "revolution" remained at the most basic stage.
"Impossible, he must have guided revolutionary work," Dragon believed firmly.
If he had not personally guided revolutionary work, he could not have summed up such meticulous theories.
These theoretical experiences were simply ear-splitting in their impact.
He paused and said, "Not being discovered by the World Government precisely proves his skill, his underground revolutionary work is extremely well-done!"
"This is a rare talent indeed!" he exclaimed again, then looked at the shop owner and sharply criticized, "As for you, I put you in charge of the East Blue’s intelligence network."
"Yet you actually knew nothing about such a person, I am utterly disappointed."
The shop owner broke out in a sweat, recalling Jotaro’s appearance, when suddenly something came to mind.
"Wait, I think I know who he is."
He took out the most recent wanted posters he had received, quickly flipping through them, and finally found Jotaro’s portrait.
"It’s him!"
Dragon looked closely, saying in disbelief, "He’s actually a pirate? How is that possible! There must be some mistake."
However, at least knowing some information about Jotaro still made him quite happy.
Putting away the wanted poster, Dragon instructed the shop owner, "Earlier, in our conversation, he mentioned a person called Teacher, someone he greatly admired as a revolutionary hero."
"He also said that many of his ideas came from Teacher. In the East Blue, you must not forget to investigate any information related to Teacher."
"The moment you have news, contact me first!"
Having said this, he hurried back to his own residence.
In Loguetown, he still needed to stay some more days, not only to wait for his son, Luffy, but also to seize the time to revise On Revolution.
Night was deep, the wind carrying the smell of rain slapped against the windows.
Monkey D. Dragon sat alone at his desk, writing under the dim lamplight.
"The primary question of revolution! In the past, our revolutionary struggle with the World Government achieved little result, the fundamental reason is that we could not unite with our true friends..."
"In my past revolutionary work, I committed three extremely serious mistakes, almost leading the revolutionary cause astray."
"Fortunately, Comrade Jojo timely pointed out the root of the problem, allowing me to rectify the chaos, re-examine the route and method, and bring our revolutionary cause onto a more correct path of development."
"One, over-reliance on a small number of elites, neglecting the initiative of the masses..."
"Two, failing to truly solve the problems of land and class..."
"Three, the essence of revolution is the process of the masses’ self-awakening, and not a few people deciding the future for the majority..."
He further added that the current revolutionary road was extremely dark, yet comrades must not give up.
Finally, he even quoted, "A single spark can start a prairie fire, Teacher," to encourage all revolutionary fighters.
On Revolution, compiled by Monkey D. Dragon in Loguetown. Once this book came out, it immediately spread widely.
Many cadres who had been hesitant about the future of the revolution had their passion rekindled.
Originally scattered uprisings in various places also began to gain organization and direction.
The release of this book pushed the world’s revolutionary wave to its first peak.
The World Government was extremely fearful of this book, issuing a comprehensive ban order, listing it as a "First-Class Forbidden Tome." Anyone possessing, spreading, or reading it was to be regarded without exception as committing a capital crime.
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Dark clouds pressed low, thunder rolling.
Twelve golden pillars supported the dome, a round table stood quietly, the Five Elders all seated.
"He’s changed, become more dangerous!" said Environmental God Marcus solemnly.
"Mm." Justice God Topman flipped open the book before him, it was indeed On Revolution, "He is no longer that fanatic idealist, but a mature thinker."
"That is precisely the terrifying part," said Finance God Ethanbaron, rubbing his palm, veins bulging. "The Revolutionary Army’s mobilization speed is now several times what it used to be, we must suppress this momentum."
Marcus said, "More than that, our top priority is to eliminate the two people Dragon mentioned, Jojo and Teacher."
"Their thinking is truly too dangerous!"
The others nodded in agreement.
"As for Jojo, we have obtained information, he is a certain pirate active recently in the East Blue."
"His full name is Kujo Jotaro, other details unknown."
"Previously, Smoker of the East Blue’s Navy Headquarters once called his classmate Hina, asking her to watch this person, and even in one move raised his bounty from thirty million to one hundred million!"
Ethanbaron said coolly, "It seems the Navy is not entirely useless, they at least know how dangerous this man is to the world. But one hundred million is far from enough, regard him the same as Dragon, as an arch-criminal."
"I hear he is sailing toward the Grand Line, then let him be completely buried there."
Marcus had no objection, "As for the other person Dragon mentioned, we have obtained no information at all."
Shepherd said coldly, "Notify all kingdoms, anyone whose name contains those two characters is to be executed without exception."
All their gazes met, nodding in unison.
Thunder roared and exploded above the dome, as if foretelling that some immense storm was silently gathering.
