Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

In the chat group.

Whitebeard: "You want to hand over my territory to the Marine led by Black Arm Zephyr to manage?"

Lucas: "What do you mean by your territory? That's my territory. Besides, your sons aren't suited for governance, so just let them focus on training!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! So, you're planning to replace the World Government? If you have the ambition, I'm optimistic about you!"

An ambitious man like Shiki had never fulfilled his dream of ruling the world during his lifetime, but he found it thrilling to watch someone else attempt it after his death.

Fire Fist Ace: "I remember Luffy's father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Do you want to cooperate with him? Their goal is also to overthrow the World Government."

Lucas: "Fire Fist Ace, you're still too naive."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Foolish son, even if two groups share the same goal, that doesn't mean they'll cooperate. Look at all the pirates who want to find the One Piece—do they work together?"

Fire Fist Ace: "That's different! There's only one Pirate King position, but overthrowing the World Government is a shared goal."

Pirate King Roger: "No, it's the same! The real issue is leadership."

Lucas: "Exactly! The Revolutionary Army wouldn't accept me as their leader just because I'm strong, and I wouldn't follow anyone else. How much do you even know about the Revolutionary Army?"

Whitebeard: "Garp's son has been leading them actively in recent years, but they're still not strong enough. They've been forced to operate from the shadows, but their ideology of freedom has attracted many followers."

Lucas sneered. "Their ideology? Ideals are just slogans. People shout them, but they can't always be taken seriously. Do you know why the Revolutionary Army hasn't truly grown stronger?"

Pirate King Roger: "Why?"

Roger, as someone who once inspired dreams of freedom, was particularly interested in the topic.

Lucas: "Their leader encouraged his son to become a pirate. Can a group led by such a man really earn the people's trust? If they replace the World Government, will they solve the pirate problem that plagues ordinary people?"

Whitebeard: "I think so. The Revolutionary Army doesn't seem fond of pirates. Once they take over, they'll probably suppress piracy."

Lucas: "Oh? Will they suppress their leader's son, Straw Hat Luffy? The same son their leader personally encouraged to set sail as a pirate?"

Fire Fist Ace: "This..."

Lucas: "Exactly. There's a high chance they wouldn't. So, tell me—how different is this Revolutionary Army from the current World Government? If the leader's son gets privileges, how is that any different from the Celestial Dragons' privileges?"

Lucas: "If they're not much better than the World Government, why should anyone help them seize power? The process of overthrowing the government would cause massive destruction, yet in the end, nothing would really change."

Lucas chuckled darkly. The Revolutionary Army under Dragon was nothing remarkable.

Many people failed to understand that revolutions weren't inherently democratic. Simply toppling a regime, like overthrowing a king, could still lead to the same oppressive systems under a new ruler.

It was this flaw in the Revolutionary Army that had stopped strong, righteous men like Fujitora from joining them. Instead, he had chosen to remain with the Marine, hoping to reform the system from within.

Ace couldn't help but defend his brother's father.

Fire Fist Ace: "The Revolutionary Army isn't as bad as you make them sound. Many people on the sea believe in them."

Lucas: "Sure, they're better than the current rulers—for now. But when the World Government was first founded, it wasn't necessarily worse than the Revolutionary Army. Over time, corruption seeps in."

Lucas: "Let me ask you this—do you know Garp? The so-called Marine Hero, Iron Fist Garp? One of the few 'righteous' men at sea? Do you know his most famous quote?"

Whitebeard: "What quote?"

Lucas: "Pirates are unforgivable, but family is different. So he let his grandson go and indulged his son."

Lucas sneered. "What an incredible way to justify favoritism and corruption!"

Roger tried to defend his old friend.

Pirate King Roger: "That's a bit harsh. Forcing him to go against his own family is cruel."

Lucas: "You misunderstand me. I'm not condemning him—I'm pointing out a universal truth: those in power always have privileges!"

Lucas: "Do you all remember the Battle of Marineford? Straw Hat Luffy, despite his mediocre strength at the time, managed to wreak havoc in a battlefield filled with top-tier fighters. And yet, he survived. Why do you think that is?"

Lucas: "Because Garp is a Marine hero. Even when Luffy stormed Impel Down, freed dangerous criminals, and disrupted a major execution, the Marine still let him walk away!"

Lucas: "Isn't that ironic? The Garp family and the Celestial Dragons really aren't that different."

Lucas: "Garp dedicated his life to maintaining peace at sea, earning great contributions. Because of that, he could protect his grandson, no matter what crimes he committed."

Lucas: "The Celestial Dragons' ancestors founded the World Government and the Marine. Their contributions are even greater. So why is it shocking that they have even more privileges?"

Lucas: "Garp always insulted the Celestial Dragons, calling them trash. But what right does he have to look down on them when his own family enjoys unchecked privileges?"

Lucas: "The Celestial Dragons' ancestors made great contributions, so their descendants can abuse power without consequence. Garp's contributions aren't as great as theirs, so Luffy can only get away with slightly less."

Silence filled the chat group.

Ace hesitated.

 Fire Fist Ace: "Luffy hasn't done anything evil, though."

Lucas: "Do you even know how many dangerous criminals he freed from Impel Down? Do you know how much suffering those prisoners caused afterward? And let's not forget you—you're just another pirate who eats for free everywhere. Do you really have the right to defend anyone?"

Fire Fist Ace: "…"

Lucas: "I'm not mocking them. In fact, their morals are among the best in the world. But even they can't escape the reality—power grants privilege."

Lucas: "So, if someone is going to hold that power, why can't that person be me?"
