Due to an unexpected incident at sea, several military commanders delayed arriving at Kamabaka Kingdom for several days.
"Hip-!" Ivankov greeted several people: "Everyone, it's been a long time no see!"
Bello Betty, holding a cigarette in his mouth, asked: "Ivankov, how was your prison life in the past few years?"
"Hmm~" Ivankov winked and replied: "Thanks to Mori-chan, prison life is comfortable and couldn't be better!"
"Oh, I would be embarrassed to be praised like this by Ivan~" Morrie said with a shy look. Everyone in the Revolutionary Army has long been accustomed to the cowardly behavior of a male giant with hair all over his chest.
"Then..." Bello Betty rolled his eyes and cast a stern gaze on Sabo: "Why did our future chief of staff arbitrarily participate in the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Headquarters?"
"This..." Sabo was speechless and could only tell the truth: "Ace is my sworn brother..."
"I know, but that's not the reason for you to act without permission." Bello Betty interrupted Sabo and asked him: "Do you understand your responsibilities?"
"Leaving the organization without authorization..." Bello Betty scolded, while Sabo lowered his head and remained silent.
He himself also understood that what he did might cause irreparable losses to the revolutionary army.
Kella said hesitantly: "Miss Betty, I already scolded him a few days ago."
"Oh?" Bello Betty raised her eyebrows.
"Indeed, he even took action. Sabo was chased all over the island by Kerla..." Drago added on the side.
Kerla shrank her shoulders and said with a blush, "Here, don't talk about this..."
In order to chase Sabo, the two traveled to many places and saw many eye-catching scenes.
Belo Beti asked Dorag: "Dolag, have you ever criticized Sabo?"
"Of course, it is no small thing that the incoming chief of staff left the headquarters without saying a word," Dorag said.
"Just a word?"
"I revoke my previous order appointing Saab's chief of staff."
"Alas..." Bello Betty sighed and looked sideways at Sabo: "Do you regret it?"
Sabo replied firmly: "Of course not!"
"..." Bello Betty scratched his forehead as if he had a headache, and sighed: "How many sins have you committed because of your brotherly love?"
Sabo grinned: "It doesn't matter. It's better that they are fine than anything else."
"You..." Bello Betty didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, as long as there are no big problems!" Ivankov smoothed things over.
"And you, Ivankov!" Bello Betty pointed the finger at Ivankov: "You actually took Straw Hat Luffy to participate in the war..."
"Eh? Is it my turn?" Ivankov pushed his hand outside and explained: "No matter what, I can't watch Dorag's son die, right?"
"You don't know, the character of Straw Hat Boy is exactly the same as Drago!"
"..." Ivankov's words made Dorag close his eyes.
"Are you stronger than him? Can't you force him back?"
"If Firefist Ace dies in Marinevando, the Straw Hat boy will definitely bite his tongue and commit suicide!" Ivankov crossed his arms: "I believe he can definitely do it!"
"Huh? What is that?" Ivankov pretended to look behind Bello Betty.
"Huh?" Bello Betty turned around to look, and found that there was nothing. When he turned around, Ivankov was already sitting on the chair.
"..."
Lindbergh patted the chair next to him: "It's getting late, come and sit down quickly, Betty."
"Indeed." The crow's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Betty-chan, if you are always angry, you will get wrinkles?" Mori stroked his face: "You see, there are no wrinkles on other people's faces."
"..." The cigarette on Bello Betty's lips jumped up.
"The lifespan of giants is three times that of humans, right?" Lindbergh retorted.
Ivankov asked aloud: "Speaking of which, why are you so late?"
"Marinfando sank, the navy headquarters was almost completely destroyed, and the sea is now in chaos."
"Indeed." Ivankov nodded in agreement: "On the way back, I encountered many more pirate ships than before."
"We happened to pass by a few towns that were being plundered by pirates, and we helped out a little bit..."
"It turns out that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it."
Dorag frowned and asked, "Aren't the armies of those countries in charge?"
"No." Betty took off the burnt cigarette butt from her mouth and lit a second one casually: "The royal families and nobles of those countries only sent troops to protect their own personal safety and property, and sat back and watched the civilians being ravaged by pirates.
.”
As the king, Ivankov angrily shouted: "Excessive!"
"yes……"
"However, these civilians finally took up arms to resist and finally protected themselves on their own, which can be considered a good thing."
"Well——" Dorag nodded.
"And after that?"
"After?" Betty was stunned, and then said: "I left them a note and left there. They will call if they are in danger."
"Well..." Dorag lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Crow: "Crow, tell everyone what you saw and heard in Beihai."
"Yes." Crow nodded and said, "After the Dawn Pirates occupied Beihai, Beihai has undergone earth-shaking changes."
The top leaders of the revolutionary army present listened attentively.
"Maybe you who are not from Beihai may not feel it deeply, but for me..." Crow raised his head and said: "Perhaps it is most correct to let the Dawn Pirates... Shenzhou Kingdom rule Beihai.
s Choice."
"..." After a short moment of silence, Betty asked proactively: "What exactly happened?"
"Due to the temperature and other reasons, the entire North Sea is not prosperous. In the eyes of the royal families and nobles, civilians are just raw materials that can be squeezed out of oil and water."
"Well... all sea areas are the same." Ivankov said something pertinent.
"But after Shenzhou came over, everything changed."
"Enact laws, lay maritime tracks, and improve regional construction... After the two-year tax holiday, taxes will be reasonable, allowing local residents to live a prosperous life without having to worry about other exorbitant taxes."
"How is the administration?" Betty is more concerned about this point. Officials who enforce the law often flatter and bully their subordinates, and are sometimes more hateful than the nobles. After all, the nobles at the top are not willing to talk to the civilians at the bottom, but the officials are different. They often treat them like
Punish civilians for various reasons.
"The official system implemented by the State of China is relatively complete. Law enforcement officers are supervised by other departments. If there is any behavior of abusing power for personal gain, they will be dismissed from office and convicted."
"And citizens have the right to report with their real names. Once an official uses his power for personal gain, civilians in the area may jointly submit a letter. There has been such a case before."
"..." Many top leaders of the Revolutionary Army were surprised. Their goal was to overthrow the Celestial Dragons who dominated the world government. Unexpectedly, Eric actually delegated the power of supervision to civilians.
This was an idea they had never imagined, but Eric made it come true.
The scene fell into silence.
"Seriously... this is so shocking." Ivankov said hesitantly: "Kui Long, is he really a pirate?"
"I was also surprised when I heard it." Dorag smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What he did redefined revolution."
"Looking at it this way, our revolutionary program does look like a clown in his eyes..."
"There is no detailed development plan, there is no change in the lives and status of civilians, there is only a goal of overthrowing the Tianlong people. What should we do after overthrowing the Tianlong people..."
Dorag sighed: "We fell into a misunderstanding before. The revolutionary army established to overthrow the Tianlong people did not achieve complete changes!"
"From the inside out, from the top to the bottom, a huge change in the entire world!"
Crow continued: "The Kingdom of China has also set up a civil service examination to select officials. Only those who pass the examination can become officials."
"This not only eliminates the hereditary system of official positions, but also eliminates incompetent people."
"..." Betty's mouth was a little dry.
"In short, I can't finish the changes that have taken place in Beihai for days and nights." Crow shook his head and said: "Many comrades who joined the revolutionary army not long ago have also given up on the revolution."
"..." Everyone was silent.
After a long time, Dorag took the initiative and said, "What do you think?"
"..." Betty opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Betty, you have been to China before. How did you feel?"
"The faces of civilians are full of smiles." A short comment is enough.
"Ever since the Draconians seized power in the world eight hundred years ago, the suffering people have made long-term and multi-faceted efforts to fight for freedom and equality. However, these heroic struggles have been unsuccessful and have repeatedly failed."
"The fundamental reason is that there is no advanced theory and no strong organization to unite the power of the world."
"Today, China has advanced legal and management systems, strong armed forces, and is able to resist the world government..."
"So," Dolag cleared his throat: "I am planning to join the Chinese Kingdom, not to form an alliance, but to make the Chinese Kingdom the main force."
"Although the Revolutionary Army was originally established by me, it does not belong to me alone." Dorag looked around: "Today, I want to hear your opinions."
Dorag and most of the cadres of the revolutionary army are not careerists. They are idealists who dream of a better world. What they have in their minds is not the struggle for power, but simple and pure revolutionary beliefs, but they are ridiculously pure.
"The Tianlong people are our common goal, I have no objection."
"Ivankov, the Dawn Pirates have killed many royal families and nobles, aren't you worried?"
"Uh..." Ivankov was stunned.
"Lindbergh is scaring you. Some royal families have not been liquidated, and some kings with good reputations have been reused." Crow exposed Lindbergh's joke.
"I have no objection, as long as the Tianlong people can be overthrown and the people will no longer be oppressed." Betty shrugged: "The Kingdom of China meets my expectations."
Mori said in a rough voice: "Elbaf has formed an alliance with China, and I don't have any objections."
"Saab, what are you thinking about?" Kerla noticed Sabo who was bowing his head in thought.
"nothing……"
"Saab, you'd better say what's on your mind. There's nothing you can't say."
"...Okay." Under the eyes of everyone, Sabo confided: "One of Luffy's comrades died at the hands of the Dawn Pirates. Based on Luffy's character..."
"I know about this, Ivankov has already told me." Drago sighed: "Although I'm sorry for Luffy, we have more important things to do."
"At that time, I will stop him myself."
Sabo didn't know whether the adopted brother who would help him at that time was still the companion he had lived with for so long.
"Is that all you're worried about?"
"Um……"
"Luffy is not a child anymore. He has his own path to follow."
"...I understand." Sabo sighed and said, "I don't have any objection either."
Let’s talk about what it will look like when the time comes.
"Dolag, did I hear you correctly?" After receiving Dolag's call and understanding his purpose, Eric asked in surprise: "You actually want to lead the revolutionary army... to join us? Join the Kingdom of China?"
"That's right." Dorag explained directly on the phone. Even if he installed a white phone to prevent eavesdropping, he wouldn't be afraid of being discovered by the world government.
Eric had always thought that the Revolutionary Army was the kind of revolutionary organization that overthrew the feudal system, similar to the Liberation Army, and allowed people all over the world to take charge of their own affairs. Unexpectedly, Dolag led the entire Revolutionary Army to defect to him?
"..." Dorag felt a little uneasy. In front of a country with perfect rules like China, the revolutionary army is more like a loose and roaming organization.
"I'm very happy to be recognized by Dorag." Eric didn't intend to refuse. Several people in the revolutionary army were very useful.
Mori can use his abilities to dig tunnels, and the work done by one person is enough to put the National Railway Construction Corporation to shame.
Bello Betty's Inspiration Fruit can greatly increase soldiers' combat power.
And with Lindbergh’s level of weapon development, the flying troop unit in Red Alert is no longer a dream.
Finally, Eric and Dorag set a meeting date and ended the call.
Afterwards, Dolag informed all members of the revolutionary army of his decision, and the entire army was immediately in an uproar.
The incorporation of the revolutionary army into the Kingdom of China will inevitably involve some disputes over power and interests. Some people may be dissatisfied, but it is of no use at all...
The truth that whoever has the bigger fists will have more weight in his words becomes even more true in this world where the strong can break mountains and seas.
The few commanders who could defeat an army all agreed, and the remaining people could only secretly retract their hands on the abacus even if they had small calculations in mind.
As for the whistleblower, didn’t you see that the most powerful naval headquarters was wiped out by the Dawn Pirates? Who would join the World Government’s broken ship?
Kerra entered the kitchen and said apologetically: "Sorry, Miss Jessica."
"...I'm fine." Jessica, who had her back to Kerla, looked up at the ceiling and said, "I can understand."
"..."
"I'm really fine..." Jessica, who was in tears, turned around and comforted herself: "At least, that person helped rehabilitate Jonathan..."
"Woo...wuwuwu——!" Jessica sat on the ground and burst into tears.
