One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 110: Dragon, learn from me how to GM
"Borsalino, the teacher doesn't have much advice to give you, because you and I are essentially the same kind of people."

After listening to Borsalino's words, Ross said this, with a tired tone, and then said:

"To put it bluntly, people like us who sit on the fence are the norm for most people in this world. The only difference is that we still remain steadfast in our kindness."

"Whether it's my good deeds or your justice, we are just a group of fence-sitters based on this, and we will take root wherever we can grow.

Compared to the real fence-sitters, the only thing we can be proud of or boast about is that all our actions are for good and righteousness, rather than simply leaning towards whichever side is more powerful. "

"The only thing I can remind you is to always stick to your own justice and don't get lost in the choices. There are many things in this world that are beyond your control, but there are also bottom lines that are worth sticking to."

Ross said a lot of things in one breath. Long and Borsalino felt a long-lost sense of relief from Ross, as if these words were also spoken to Ross himself.

Ross was telling the truth, because this world is too hopeless. Without destiny and absolute power, being a fence-sitter is the best and only choice.

Rocks is awesome, right?
Ross dared to conclude that even if he reached the level of a general king, he would not be able to defeat the enemy two against one.

But what was the final outcome for such a brilliant person? How was the territory of the Valley of the Gods wiped off the map?
These two things alone are enough to make all those who know the situation shrink into a corner, trying their best to survive without having any other thoughts.

His purpose of building Cloud Island was not just to create power. Ross was very clear about the future of this world.

The world will be submerged under the sea!
"I understand, Mr. Ross. I will remember your words well. I plan to work in the navy until I am old."

Borsalino spoke lightly, easing the originally heavy atmosphere.

Then, he turned his head to look at Long and said:
"Long, tell the teacher about your problem. We can't always let the teacher take the lead. We have to learn to grow on our own too."

"Ah? Oh! Okay, let me think about what to say first."

Borsalino's reminder reminded Long that he had many things to ask Teacher Ross.

Stroking his chin, he licked his lips with his tongue.

"Clap!"

He clenched his left fist and knocked it against the palm of his right hand, and Long blurted out his question:

"Teacher Ross, can you tell me how to form an organization? You know, I want to quit the navy and form a force specifically targeting the nobles!

But now I don’t know what to do except inviting some like-minded partners. I think with your wisdom, you should be able to give me some advice. "

Long humbly asked for advice.

A smile appeared on Ross's face. You finally asked the right person!
Although Ross considered himself a fence-sitter with no intention of resisting, the country he traveled to before destined him to know how to rebel.

Not to mention that the deeds of the predecessors are vividly recorded and their deeds are well-known to everyone. Even a layman knows the three elements of rebellion.

Right now--

Banner, people's will, and awareness!
Ross nodded, glanced at Jin, whose eyes suddenly glowed, and said:
"I am very happy that you have such an awareness, because you have done what I wanted to do but did not dare to do. Even though you already know that there is an abyss of no return ahead, you still resolutely made the initial decision."

"But you are still a little short of the mark, because you don't know what you are really facing. You just want to overthrow the aristocracy so that the common people on the islands can live a normal life."

“You think it’s a good idea to invite like-minded companions, which is the most critical and important point.

The second step is to clarify the ideas, plans and bottom line you want to implement. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Only with the right direction can you accomplish great things! "

Clear ideas, implementation plans, and bottom lines that cannot be violated.

In the original novel, the opportunity for Long to rebel was the Celestial Dragons, because in a sense, the Celestial Dragons were the most alien guys among the nobles.

If we say that Eagle and his father's curious behavior only accounted for one-tenth of the entire aristocratic group.

Then the behavior of the Tianlong people accounts for three-fifths of the entire group! Or even more!

Among the traveling Celestial Dragons, 90% of them behave like that!

It was perfectly normal for Long to want to encounter such behavior, and it directly stimulated what he wanted most in his heart, which was the justice he had always pursued and which was not allowed by the World Government.

Ross's trip only brought the result forward by three to four years.

"So Mr. Ross, what is the right direction?"

"Long, after you left the navy and overthrew the nobles, did you just leave, or what?"

"Of course, they left immediately! They returned the land and wealth to their true owners, and at most they took some of the stolen money to keep the business going."

Long's answer made Ross shake his head.

Sure enough, there are some ideals, but not many, and they are quite immature and simple.

It's no wonder that in the original novel, after so many years, the GMJ was almost the same whether it was released or not, and the waves it caused on the sea were not even enough to shake the balance between pirates and the navy. "You think too simply, Long, this will not get you the justice you want to execute in your heart. Have you ever thought about this truth?
When you have enough food and clothing, you will think about lust, and lust will become deeper and deeper."

Ross's words made Long confused and he had no idea how to respond.

The CPU of the Monkey family's brain was burning like crazy, trying to analyze the meaning of Ross's words. Even Borsalino on the side began to think seriously.

Ross did not rush to explain, but waited for the two students to give answers.

After a long while, the silent cool boy Jin, who had never spoken, spoke:

"It's greed!"

But after saying these three words, he shut up again, but anyone could hear the grief and pain in his words.

Long and Borsalino looked at each other, then looked deeply at Jhin, and finally turned to give Ross a questioning look.

Ross nodded and replied:
"Yes, it's greed, Dragon. Not everyone can restrain themselves. When you return the wealth to everyone, those who are greedy by nature will only take this opportunity to climb up the ladder and become the next noble."

“You can indeed bring temporary liberation, peace and happiness, but what happens next? After a few years, the place remains the same, and all your efforts become meaningless under the erosion of people’s hearts and time.”

Long's expression became obviously depressed, and he fell into deep self-doubt. He didn't say anything and remained silent.

That's why Yixiao disabled his own eyes, because he saw all this earlier than Long, and what he did seemed so meaningless in people's eyes.

But Long was obviously stronger than Yixiao. His determination and faith broke through his inner confusion, and an invisible momentum seemed to be brewing.

Not long after, Long shook off his decadence, raised his head with a determined look and said:

“If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it countless times! Failure is not a reason to retreat, but a guiding light on my way forward!

Teacher, just like training, if you haven’t suffered endless injuries, how can you gain all-powerful strength? ! "

"Peng!"

"Hey, Mr. Ross, why did you hit me?"

Ross tapped Long's head gently, and Long shook his head and replied:
"There is insight, but not many. The determination to learn from failure after failure and become better and better is a truth that only a few people can grasp. There was a guy who was desperate after being hit once.

Although this has a lot to do with his observation color, his ability to accept the mind is more sensitive and fragile than that of ordinary people. If it weren't for this, he would probably become the same person as you. "

Ross said to himself.

Although Long was very curious about who that person was, since Ross didn't say the name, it was better not to ask.

Distance creates beauty, and one should stop when necessary. Long knows this truth. Aunt He and Uncle Zhan Guo often teach him these truths.

But sometimes, when the relationship is serious, being shameless and getting close to someone is a way of getting close to them. This is another truth his father taught him through practice.

"It is never advisable to work in isolation. Failure is sometimes not a problem of action. It is very likely that your own thoughts are misleading you. This is why I tell you that thoughts are very important!"

“If you want to create an organization with the purpose of overthrowing the system, you can’t just think about being a dictator. But because of the rules of this ocean, you have to be a dictator!
Therefore, it is very important to absorb, summarize and generalize other people's opinions, so that you can find the ideas you want to implement more quickly and correctly, and firmly implement them in the process of continuous improvement! "

Long felt a little dizzy and confused.

Ross looked at him and could only use an example to illustrate his point. He said:
“For example, if you overthrow the rule of the nobles on an island, and then you implement the subsequent policies you have designated, this is practicing your ideas.

At this time, someone puts forward a different opinion, but you think some of the parts of this opinion are not good, while others are very good.

In this case, what you need to do is not to blindly practice your own ideas, nor to learn from others' strengths and overcome their weaknesses, but to first absorb the discussion, then summarize the possibilities, and finally summarize the rules.

This phase is endless and repetitive, understand?"

Long nodded half-knowingly.

He roughly understood what Teacher Ross meant, but sometimes, if he didn't put it into practice, it would be difficult for him to truly understand and comprehend even if Ross explained it very clearly.

"Hey, old man named Ross, is everything you said true?"

Jin's expression was a little awkward. He didn't know how to address Ross, so he could only follow Kaido's example and call him old thing.

　It feels like a lot of what the author wrote is in a state of half-understanding.

　　.........

　　At the age of eighteen, I feel it would be better to write some exciting articles, otherwise it always feels like showing off.

　　I know this thing, but I can't describe it correctly and comfortably. This is probably the feeling?
