"You want to overturn the World Government!!!"
Nami's voice was sharp, clearly frightened by Jotaro's words.
Not only her, even Robin, who was somewhat prepared, still showed surprise on her face.
"In this world there are countless people who disturb the government's order, but very few dare to openly challenge the World Government."
"Because no one can bear the price of such an act. Even someone as strong as the Four Emperors can't!"
Robin fixed her gaze on Jotaro's light green eyes and asked seriously, "Do you really want to openly challenge the government?"
Jotaro's eyes showed no ripples, as if he were simply speaking about an ordinary matter.
"You've got it wrong. I don't want to challenge the government, I want to destroy the government!"
Nami hugged her head, on the verge of tears.
"He… he's gone mad!"
If anyone else had said "destroy the government," Robin would have sneered.
Because she had seen the military power of the World Government.
That was something no ordinary person could ever shake.
Just thinking of that scene again always brought her deep despair.
But when facing Jotaro, that despair inside her never appeared.
'Why is that…'
Robin thought for a long time but couldn't find the answer.
"From now on I'll be the enemy of the entire world. You should all understand the danger in that."
"So whether you stay or leave, that's for you to decide."
The moment Jotaro finished speaking, Bon-chan immediately said impatiently, "I already said, no matter how dangerous things get in the future, I will never get off this ship."
"If Little Jotaro is going to be the enemy of the world, then count me in too!"
Though he was an okama, he was incredibly bold.
Robin thought for a moment before saying, "I still don't see what chances you have of success, but if you're going to be the enemy of the world, then count me in as well."
Opportunities like this don't come twice.
In truth, she had always been searching for someone like this.
Her homeland destroyed by the World Government, her family wiped out, she hated the World Government more than anyone.
The hatred had always been growing in her heart. Not taking revenge was impossible.
Hearing their words, Nami squatted on the ground, hugging her head tightly.
"Crazy, they're all crazy!"
"Fine!" she suddenly stood up. "Count me in too! After all, without a navigator like me, you people wouldn't even make it against the World Government, you'd probably just die at sea first!"
Jotaro gave a faint smile.
"Then you'd better be ready, because everything we do from here on could cost us our lives!"
On this day, Jotaro's rebel organization was officially founded.
No one could have imagined this would one day become a world-shaking event.
The first meeting of the rebel organization began without anyone realizing it.
The final result, no one left the ship. They all chose to follow Jotaro.
Robin then asked a sharp question. "Destroying the government isn't as simple as just saying it. Do you have any concrete plans?"
Nami nodded in agreement.
"Even if there isn't a detailed plan, we should at least decide our next destination soon. We can't just keep drifting around the sea."
Time was limited.
Although Jotaro hadn't thought through every detail, because of his rebellion experience in the Tokyo Ghoul world, he still had a rough plan in mind.
The reason he had been so passive in Alabasta could be summed up in two main points.
The first was lack of manpower.
The World Government's military forces were vast. Even with his own great combat strength, he couldn't possibly deal with so many enemies at once.
Also, being the enemy of the entire world and destroying the World Government couldn't be done by him alone.
So next, he needed to recruit people and build his own armed forces to stand against the World Government.
The second was lack of intelligence-gathering methods.
The world of One Piece was much larger than Demon Slayer or Tokyo Ghoul, and its communication facilities were extremely backward. Getting intelligence was even more difficult.
And since this world was under the government's heavy rule, information was closed off. Any unfavorable or critical intelligence was tightly controlled by the government. Using normal methods, it was impossible to obtain the information he needed.
Up to now, Jotaro's only way of getting intel was through the newspapers brought by News Coo.
Anyone who knows the news business knows, it's unreliable. Too much false reporting, too many shady outlets, and even manipulation by major powers in the shadows.
If an organization with big ambitions relied only on newspapers for intel, then that organization was already close to destruction.
So Jotaro wanted to build his own intelligence agency, spreading its members all across the world to gather information.
The intelligence agency's priority was even higher than that of the armed forces, and of course that meant more manpower.
And to recruit manpower, money was needed.
How would the money come?
Jotaro had already thought of three paths.
The first, secure land, and develop agriculture on it.
For a stable regime, this was a must. They had to have a self-sufficient and relatively stable internal base.
The second, develop commerce externally.
The third, rob money.
The first two guaranteed the bottom line, the third raised the ceiling.
However, in this world, all three paths depended on one thing.
Ships.
As for the land problem, Jotaro already had some ideas in mind. Next was solving the transportation problem.
To get rich, first build roads.
That was the wisdom passed down to him.
"I need shipwrights who can build, to make me a large number of ships."
Jotaro voiced his demand, this was also what they needed to do next.
His first investment would be ships.
In this world, ships were the foundation of development.
Robin thought for a moment and said, "For shipbuilding, we have a recommended place, Water 7."
"That city has the best shipwrights in the world, and it just happens to be along our route."
