One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 779 Our People
Time flies, three months have passed, and the entire ocean has become extremely calm. Both the Four Emperors of the New World and the World Government seem to have lost interest in the struggle and have entered a state of silence.

And on the day before the New Year, on an unknown island in the North Sea, Sakaski, wearing casual clothes, lit a cigar, sat in a private room on the second floor of a bar, waiting for someone.

A breeze blew by, and like magic, a figure in a green cloak appeared silently in the seat opposite Sakaski.

"You're here." Sakaski said in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself.

"I'm here." Needless to say, the figure in the green cloak was undoubtedly Dorag.

"You're really silent. No wonder those CP0 bastards couldn't catch you."

Sakaski said, offering a cigar, but Dorag waved his hand to refuse.

"They are not really useless. Although the strength of each individual is insufficient, they still have the advantage of numbers. In addition, the resources of the World Government are indeed not comparable to ordinary people. The power of the Devil Fruit is extraordinary."

Dorag took off his cloak, revealing the scar tattoo on half of his face. Sakaski couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the scar concealed by the tattoo. Dorag was known as the youngest vice admiral of the navy and the most promising person in the navy in 800 years. He could cause such serious harm to the opponent. Obviously, the enemy he faced at that time was no trivial matter.

"It seems that I underestimated CP0."

Sakaski said after taking another puff of his cigar.

"Those guys used every possible means when they attacked. Not to mention you, even I didn't expect them to be able to hide so deeply. Among the five staff officers I was looking for, three were their men. In addition to the wounds on their faces, one of my chief staff officers almost died on the spot."

Dorag picked up the wine glass in front of him helplessly and took a sip, but this almost made him spit it out on the spot.

"Ahem, what the hell is this! Sakaski! The higher the alcohol content, the better! Besides, this is already alcohol!"

Dorag looked at Sakaski in shock. He felt the moisture in his mouth disappearing rapidly, all taken away by the glass of something in front of him that looked like wine but was actually no different from alcohol.

"If you don't appreciate it, don't drink it. Besides, it's my wine. If you want to drink it, buy it yourself."

Sakaski looked at his cup with disdain. This guy was still like this after all these years. It was clearly the wine he prepared for him, but this guy just picked it up and drank it without asking.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Let's talk about it. Why did you ask Borsalino to contact me at the risk of being exposed?"

Dorag shook his head and decided not to discuss this anymore. CP0 was biting very hard right now and he didn't have that much time to waste. He would only stay here for two hours at most and then leave.

"The World Government appointed me as the person in charge of wiping out the Revolutionary Army, and even gave me the right to conscript soldiers."

Sakaski didn't say anything official and spoke directly.

"What? Hiss——, could it be my bastard dad!"

Dragon's first reaction was that Garp had let the cat out of the bag, but then he realized that something was wrong. Although Garp was unreliable most of the time, he would never get confused about something like this.

"Probably not. Although I really want to beat you up for this, after all, we were scared by Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp because of this, but the World Government should not know about this. They should just want to use this to test my loyalty to the World Government. After all, in the eyes of the World Government, I am now a loyal dog to them, but they obviously don't trust anyone now."

Sakaski looked at Dorag with displeasure. This guy told Garp and them about something that almost made him and Borsalino resign and run away overnight. Well, it was just an exaggeration.

"I see. Tell me what you think. I can provide you with a list."

After all, Dragon is Dragon, and he immediately understood what Sakaski meant. Dragon, who had just experienced what happened before, just wanted to restore internal order. In addition, as far as he knew, many lawless people were doing evil under the name of the revolutionary army, so he could just use Sakaski to clean them up.

"At least you have some brains when it comes to serious matters. But a list alone is not enough. I need you to send out a cadre with enough weight, preferably someone with special devil fruit abilities, as the captive. I can guarantee that this person will not die, but will be thrown into the underwater prison. Can you do it?" Sakaski said, looking into Dragon's eyes, and faced with this question, Dragon was silent.

"I can't answer you this right away. The revolutionary army doesn't belong to me alone. I'm not a dictator. I have to seek their consent."

After a long silence, Dorag spoke softly.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can give it to me along with the list through Borsalino. But I have to say that regardless of whether you agree to this or not, I will find one of your cadres to take action."

Sakaski did not continue to press and chose to give Dorag some time.

"Tell me your departure time."

Dorag inquired.

"By the middle of next year at the latest."

Sakaski said.

"I see. I'll let you know through Borsalino when the time comes."

After saying this, Dorag stood up and prepared to leave, but he was stopped by Sakaski after taking only two steps.

"Dragu, can you tell me why you did this? Why did you choose this path?"

Sakaski looked at Dragon with curiosity in his eyes. Even Sakaski had to admit that Dragon was actually a stronger person than himself. If he chose to stay in the navy, then he would definitely have a place among the three admirals, and he might even become a marshal, the youngest marshal in the navy.

"Because I saw darkness, Sakaski, real darkness, which is ten thousand times darker than what is revealed on the surface. The Celestial Dragons are not as simple as we see them. The darkness they hide under the water is even more terrifying and disgusting than what we see on the surface."

Dorag didn't look back, but Sakaski was sure that he must have looked unhappy.

"What about you? Sakaski, it seems to me that you are the last one who will join us. What made you make such a choice?"

Dorag asked back.

"Me? I'm not joining you. We're just partners."

Sakaski raised his hand and lit a new cigar.

"But what I want to say is that I have also seen the darkness, the darkness behind the navy, and too many absurd things. I hope to make a change. I will not leave the navy because I want to change the navy!"

Sakaski's voice seemed to carry the determination of steel, and also had the heat of a volcanic eruption, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to be rising.

"Then you have joined us, Sakaski. Don't deny it. I'm not talking about the revolutionary army. We are the people who hope that the world will change and become a better place. We are all our people. Our methods are different, and our identities are also different, but our desire for change in the world is the same. As long as we have this, then we are our own people."

Dorag turned around and this time chose to look Sakaski straight in the eyes and spoke.

"Whatever you say."

Sakaski stood up, stopped talking to Dorag, and left the private room first.
