Long and Ivankov's eyes became hotter and hotter, while Riden was still calm, even picked up the teacup and tasted the tea.

"Before I continue to communicate with you, I would like to ask you a question. On Fireworks Island three years ago, did you save me?"

Riden raised his head and looked at Long again, and Long was also a little surprised, as if he didn't understand why Riden, who was still "dreaming" them just now, suddenly became solemn.

“Yes, not.”

“How to say it?”

Long's answer was a bit beyond Riden's expectations, but looking at Long's eyes that were not as teasing as he was, Riden also patiently continued to ask questions.

"You were indeed rescued by a cadre from our revolutionary army now, but he did not join us at that time."

"I see."

After listening to Long's answer, Ruiden breathed a long sigh of relief. The questions that had been in his heart were also eliminated. His hands played with the teacup again, as if he was combing through this past time.

It took a long time before Riden opened his eyes again, and his eyes softened when he looked at Long and Ivankov.

"Since that's the case, please ask Lord Long to thank the gentleman in advance, and to thank him in person when we meet in the future."

"Is that true? It seems that you don't know nothing about our Revolutionary Army."

"On the contrary, I am very concerned about the situation of the Revolutionary Army, and even agree with your ideals."

"Then why?"

Ivankov's head was a little too turned. He looked at Riden, who had a sharp contrast between the front and back, and even suspected that the two were two completely different people. Long lowered his head slightly, as if he had experienced something.

"Monkey D. Long! What do you think of the power of the Revolutionary Army now?"

“…”

"Let me say this when you are alive. How about the Revolutionary Army compared to the Navy?"

"This! The gap is too big, it's simply a gap!"

Long shook his head helplessly. As the leader of the revolutionary army, he certainly knew his own side and the strength of the "enemy", and this gap even made him a little desperate.

"Yes, the gap is too big. The revolutionary army is causing a lot of controversy in some countries now, and the world government also wants to eradicate you very much, but the reason why you are not eliminated is not that you are strong enough, but that the situation is turbulent and the rise of pirate forces."

"You make sense, our revolutionary army still has a long way to go."

"Then let me ask another question. If the revolutionary army's power develops as strong as the navy at this time, can you complete your revolution?"

"this……"

Riden's questions always easily break through Long's imagination, and he kept thinking and considering it through all aspects. However, as Long became more and more concerned about the problem, the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more, and fear and uneasiness appeared on his face.

"It seems you already have the answer..."

Ruiden walked out of his seat and stood up, and walked slowly to Long, then climbed up to the table in front of the two of them, and sat cross-legged in front of them.

"The revolutionary army's current strategy is to rescue non-franchise forces and thus continuously absorb personnel to expand their own forces. Isn't that wrong?"

"Well, this is our only way."

"Yes... the only way. To be honest, at the beginning, like you, I was always unable to escape the shackles of thinking, and always believed that only by grasping the masses could we win. However, I was wrong."

Ruiden sat cross-legged in a ball, almost facing each other with Long.

"The voice of this world is always in the hands of the strong! The weak are not even qualified to participate in the game! Just like the 'trash' I brought me, although I can do a good job of leading the way, a bullet can completely end him! And the 'trash' outside the door, fighting and assassination? I can make them disappear in this world with my fingers! They are too weak!"

Long had heard of such crazy suggestions for the first time, and his brain was also trying hard to reject Riden, but his subconscious mind kept telling himself that what Riden said was the truth.

"But no matter what, civilians and ordinary people are us..."

"Of course they are important too! But for freedom and equality, sacrifices must be made!"

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Long sighed, sitting on the chair with a little depressed look, his fingers constantly rubbing his forehead. The Revolutionary Army's big and small things have been pressing on him. At this time, what Ruiden said had a great impact on him.

"Strengthen the overall quality, especially the quality of soldiers. Classify the absorbed personnel and assign different jobs according to different groups of people. The discipline must be strict, and it is not required to be stricter than soldiers, but at least it must develop the nature of obeying orders."

"We are also doing these things, but in order to take care of the population and maintain arms, we have already spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Some things are really too willing but not enough."

Ivankov looked at Long with some concern. He knew the situation of the Revolutionary Army and naturally knew the Dragon's plight. When he turned his head to look at Ruiden, the anger in his eyes had already melted away and he was much less alert.

"Ridenboy, sorry! I misunderstood you, please forgive me!"

"It's all small things, don't take it to heart."

Ryden waved his hand at Ivankov casually, and his eyes returned to the dragon. The dragon also recovered from the brief "rest", and there was a hint of thanks in his eyes when he looked at Ryden again.

"His Excellency Riden, thank you very much for your advice. Even if we cannot be allies, we can be partners on the same front."

"Hey, it seems you still don't understand completely."

Ryden jumped off the table and stood straight in front of Long. The Dragon also stood up quickly and looked straight with Ryden.

"I just said that my enemy is the world government, but you are not."

"this?"

Riden walked to Long and patted Long on the shoulder, then followed the trend and put his head into his ear. The extremely low voice only reached the ears of him and Ivankov.

"I am the navy, and I am under the control of the world government anyway. My relationship with the world government is already in a state of danger, and no matter what I do, I cannot distract them."

"You mean..."

"But you are different! Don't limit your vision to the world government! What you can fight for is not only the world government, but also the guys in the dark world, the most 'free' pirates on the sea, and even the ubiquitous gangsters! Before you get enough wings, it is the king to try to get 'nutrient' from them!"

Ruiden's words completely opened up Long's thinking, and a new path was constantly paving the way in his mind. Seeing that Long had already understood his meaning, Ruiden stepped back and made a gesture to the two of them.

"It seems that both of you have understood and hope to be a 'allier' in the future."

"Are you leaving? I'll send you there!"

"There is no need to be careful. By the way, there is another sentence I want to tell you..."

Ruiden tidied up his clothes, and a confident and determined light emerged in his eyes.
