Konan's appearance made the Marines' hearts jump into their throats. Looking at Konan's beautiful and captivating face, and recalling her past deeds, their faces paled.
This angel-like woman was absolutely the biggest demon in the entire world.
She wasn't an angel at all, but a fallen angel!
"They seem to be very afraid of you."
Ranzuki spoke, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.
He seemed to be in a good mood because, starting today, this world would undergo a complete upheaval, and he would also be able to complete this training and return to the Sage Shinobi World.
"There are quite a lot of people, but I wonder how many will still be alive after today."
Ranzuki continued, then looked towards the large ship on the other side.
"That guy, Minato, has already reached this level without making a sound. It's truly admirable."
He said, looking at the Revolutionary Army's fleet with deep emotion.
He himself had caused such a huge commotion, stirring up the entire sea into a turbulent storm, creating a super-melstrom that almost swept the entire world, nearly capsizing before finally creating this current situation.
And since entering this world, Minato had been incredibly low-key.
Yet, without a sound, he had become the king of the East and South Seas, becoming one of the three major powers in this tripartite world.
"Everything is just for self-training and growth. There's nothing to compare. After today, this training should be over. If we really want to compare, let's do it in the next training ground."
Konan spoke, then took a step forward, rising into the sky.
With this movement of hers, almost all the Marines below subconsciously moved as well. Some involuntarily gripped their weapons tighter, while others took a step back.
"This will be a war that will change the entire world. After this war, the world will be completely different.
"There will be no more oppression, no more privileges, no more people placed high above others.
"In this world, life will become equal, people will become free, and there will be order to maintain peace.
"This is the general trend, the wheel of history. No one can stop it.
"Marines, you call yourselves the upholders of justice in the world, yet you are protecting those Celestial Dragons who despise justice and destroy it.
"This runs counter to your ideals and beliefs.
"Therefore, the justice you once upheld is not true justice at all.
"What you uphold is just an excuse within your hearts.
"When you swing your butcher knives at ordinary civilians, have you never felt uneasy in your hearts?
"When you help the Celestial Dragons bully ordinary people, don't you feel that you are wrong?
"Now, we will destroy this decaying, sick world and rebuild a new one.
"Do you really want to continue your wrongdoings, continue to go against your ideals and beliefs, and protect those Celestial Dragons who destroy and trample on justice?!
"Lay down your weapons!
"Or, turn your weapons towards the Celestial Dragons!
"Marines, join us in breaking down this corrupt regime and building a new world!
"Let us together overthrow those privileged who stand high above! This world should be equal. No one should be able to stand above and look down on others!
"For justice, for all the oppressed people in the world, for all those who have suffered unfair treatment, Marines, please help us, please do the right thing for the people!"
Konan spoke in the sky, her words amplified by jutsu and spreading throughout the area below, allowing every Marine to hear.
At this moment, countless Marines fell silent, looking at Konan in the sky with confusion in their hearts.
They couldn't help but wonder if the justice they adhered to was truly true justice.
They thought about those high and mighty Celestial Dragons, those who destroyed and trampled upon the people of this world. Were they truly worth protecting?
"Celestial Dragons, they claim to be descendants of gods. They tell us that gods created this world!
"But in reality, that's not how it is."
Just as the Marines were feeling lost, a sunny, gentle, yet charismatic voice rang out.
People looked over and saw a young man with golden hair. He was truly warm. Looking at him, people would even think of the rising sun, which made people feel warm all over.
It was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Minato.
"I used to think that the Celestial Dragons should be high and mighty.
"Because they are descendants of gods, because their ancestors created this world.
"But, one time I personally witnessed a Celestial Dragon ruthlessly shoot and kill a child simply because the child blocked his path. At that moment, doubt arose in my heart.
"Descendants of gods can enjoy wealth and honor, and can accept the gratitude of all of us.
"But, how can they arbitrarily decide our lives?! We are all living beings, and we should be born equal!
"But why, when we are all living beings, can they decide our lives?!
"If they are gods, if gods truly created this world and created us, then their decisions over our lives would be justifiable.
"But these Celestial Dragons are not gods!
"They are only descendants of gods!
"Moreover, their ancestors, those they call gods, are not gods!
"The ancestors of the Celestial Dragons were invaders. They invaded our world, they killed our ancestors, they changed our history, and they made us treat them as gods!
"And that history they changed is the void of 100 years in history.
"Those are the 100 years they tried to completely erase, but how could they possibly succeed?!
"Because the history of those 100 years has been protected, passed down, and recorded by countless of our ancestors.
"Even though they constantly destroy, even though they continuously erase, there are still some things that they cannot erase.
"The 12 Poneglyphs record the events of those 100 years, record the invasion of our world by the ancestors of these Celestial Dragons, and record our bloody history.
"Celestial Dragons, they are not gods!
"They are a group of robbers, a group who not only occupied our world but also want to turn us into their slaves!
"Marines, stop being obsessed with delusion!
"If the ancestors from hundreds of years ago knew about your current actions, how heartbroken and despairing they would be.
"It's not terrifying to die for what you protect. What's terrifying is that the hope you once protected has turned into the despair that continuously erases the hope of others!
"Marines, think carefully about the things you once dared not think about. Think about the impulse and confusion in your hearts when you see the Celestial Dragons destroying justice and taking lives!
"Stop numbing yourselves and escaping from reality!
"You should stand up again, you should pick up the justice in your hearts, you should point your weapons at the true invaders, the Celestial Dragons, not at your compatriots!"
Minato spoke loudly, revealing the truth of history.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was in an uproar.
Not only the Marines, whose hearts were filled with confusion and wavering, but also the natives of other Shinobi Nations and the numerous members of the Revolutionary Army.
Almost everyone was shocked by this history.
Then, doubt, anger, confusion, daze... all kinds of emotions emerged, and people's hearts could no longer remain calm.
Even the high-ranking Marine generals, even Aokiji, Kizaru, and Zephyr, even Sengoku!
