Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"Chief, what's going on?"

The crow and Swall were somewhat bewildered; in their minds, things shouldn't be like this.

In theory, after the successful uprising, they should stand on the high ground of the palace as victors and announce the removal of the king from the throne.

More radical revolutionaries might even eliminate the country's original king and nobles.

But the dragon didn't seem to object at all!

The dragon did not interfere with the change of kings in the kingdom.

Swall walked up to the dragon and cautiously asked:

"Chief, what should we do?"

The dragon showed a helpless expression and said softly:

We ordered the rebels that those who wanted to come with us should pack their things, and those who didn't would receive as much help as possible.

At the same time, the dragon pulled the crow over and whispered in his ear, "..."

"In the treasury of this kingdom lies all its wealth. Take a group of men and unload it onto our ships."

"But you must remember one thing: you can only take 40% of the wealth in the vault; don't touch the remaining 60%."

Although the crow didn't know that the dragon's purpose in giving such instructions was for AEEZ

But they still chose to believe that the dragon had quietly slipped away from behind the crowd, leading a group of people straight to the kingdom's treasury.

Dragon and Swall, on the other hand, were enjoying the farce in the palace. "Chief, can you tell me what's going on here?"

The dragon replied with a sigh:

"Before we launched the uprising, I met a man. At first, I thought we were like-minded people, but later I found out that we just happened to be on the same path for a while, so we temporarily cooperated."

"That's why, one day, I suddenly had revolutionary theories in my hands, and I suddenly had several boxes of enormous wealth. That's why we were able to make contact with the Don Quixote family, the underground arms dealers in Beihai."

"Was all of this his doing? And what exactly does he want?!"

Swall exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and asked in a low voice after calming down.

The dragon's gaze swept over the little girl who had come up on stage, and he spoke.

Don't you understand? He's already got what he wanted.

Swall stared in disbelief as the little girl walked step by step toward the throne in the hall, and Edward III held the king's crown in his hands, preparing to place it on his head.

A chill ran from his feet straight to his head, and the coldness made him break out in a cold sweat.

"He—he"

Swall was somewhat speechless; they were nothing more than a peasant uprising.

However, what that person wanted to do was to replace the king of the Kingdom of Eryoko with his own person right under the nose of the World Government.

How could that possibly happen? The World Government isn't stupid, and neither are the members of CP.

Long sighed and said:

"The members of the CP organization are not idiots, but dead people."

I had vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and I spent a long time deducing his logic.

If we want to succeed, then the members of the CP organization in this country absolutely cannot stay.

The World Government isn't stupid, but they're far away in Mary Geoise and have no idea what's going on here.

Moreover, as long as they can collect the celestial gold and mineral resources, they don't care whether the king has been replaced.

A slight sense of frustration welled up inside the dragon.

This was his first successful workers' uprising. With little involvement from him and the Self-Defense Forces, the workers themselves overthrew the kingdom's rule. Although much of the support came from Raleigh's outside efforts, the uprising itself significantly deepened Dragon's understanding of revolution. While the corrupt aristocratic rule was overthrown, Dragon didn't actually gain any substantial benefits.

Behind them are many more rebel armies, who are the core of the dragon's forces, but now they are a very heavy burden for the dragon.

Although the raven carried out his orders to move the treasure vault, he could only control 40% of it. Even after leaving the Kingdom of Eryo, the food, drink, and shelter of tens of thousands of people required a large sum of Berries. Overall, while the dragon achieved his ideal, his gains were far less than Raleigh's.

Because this guy used a revolutionary program and Bailey to make the dragon his sword and wipe out all the stubborn nobles in the kingdom.

The king of the Kingdom of Eryoko was not considered a threat by him, so he spared his life to assist Belo Betty, who was sent by Rory.

After the dragon left the Kingdom of Eryorobu, what Raleigh got was a resource-rich country without old nobles, without the supervision of CP organization members, and with 60% of the national treasury's funds.

Long couldn't help but feel depressed.

This guy is so ruthless; he's reaped far too many benefits.

If there's a next time, I'll definitely try to negotiate a better price with him.

Dragon made up his mind in his heart.

"Senior Long, I think you should leave now."

Behind the group, in a secluded corner where the mist swirled, Rat's right hand rested on Dojigiri Yasutsuna's waist.

He calmly watched Long and his group.

"Oh, it's you, Rat Ang. How have you been lately? I remember you should be in the East China Sea."

Long looked surprised and recognized the man in the navy uniform.

Mouse was a junior in the same year as Rowley.

Although we weren't familiar with each other back in military school, the limited space meant we all eventually got to know each other's names.

I've been busy capturing a criminal lately. She crossed the Red Earth and came all the way to the Kingdom of Eryokobu. I'm looking for her now.

The rat answered with a relaxed expression, but his right hand remained on the hilt of the knife.

The dragon saw the rat's movements, raised an eyebrow, but did not show any other expression.

That's good. I hope you succeed soon. I still have some things to take care of, so I'll have to go now.

Long led the rebel army and the Self-Reliant Army out of the palace, knowing that many things were about to happen.

The mouse's actions were clearly intended to drive him away; it didn't want him to see it at all.

After the dragon and his men left, the rat used his Devil Fruit powers to cover the entire palace.

This allows the rats to sense everyone in the palace, preventing secrets from being discovered.

Only after the rat had finished its search did it walk into the main hall.

Grover remained by the king's side, holding a very ordinary sword.

Edward III didn't seem afraid; instead, he comforted Grover:

"Grover, don't be afraid, they promised to let us live safely."

Grover didn't answer; he didn't believe anyone would be so kind.

A gift!

The rat drew the Dojigiri Yasutsuna from his waist, the cold blade flashing with a series of glints.

This caused Grover, who was already very nervous, to sweat profusely.

Edward III, you know what our conditions are, don't you?

"Know."

"That's fine. We'll set you free in three years."

"Thank u."

Edward III gave the rat a noble salute, then pulled the bewildered Grover away from the palace.

The nobles, already terrified, shouted as they saw King Edward III leave with Grover, "Sir, we are willing to agree to your terms!"

"Please spare us, Navy Captain! I'm willing to offer up all my possessions."

Belo Betty sat on her throne, stuck out her little tongue, and sighed, "You bunch of idiots, you already know who Brother Rat is, how could I possibly let you live?"

Upon hearing this, the nobles awoke with a start and immediately banged their heads on the ground, shouting:

"Sir, we know nothing, we know nothing!"

"Okay, I'll tell you earlier next time."

The mouse's sword, Dojigiri Yasutsuna, flashed through the air, landing on the heads of those fat, pig-like nobles.

A moment later, the once magnificent and splendid hall was transformed into a blood-soaked slaughterhouse. The rat lowered its head, holding a clean white cloth in its hand, and was carefully wiping the boy's knife.

Belo Betty walked over to the rat, smelled the blood in the air, twitched her nose a few times, and said;

Brother Mouse, why can't they stay?

After wiping the knife clean, the mouse took Belo Betty's hand and led her out of the hall, explaining as they walked.

They were different from the king. Edward III hadn't done anything wrong, and of course, he hadn't done anything at all, so Raleigh had said that if he knew what was good for him, they could spare his life.

"But these nobles are different. They're the ones behind everything in the Kingdom of Eryokobu, whether it's oppressing miners, human trafficking, or any other kind of transaction—they're the ones manipulating it all."

Their relationships were complicated. Raleigh said that trying to subdue them all would take too long, and there was also the risk of them turning against them, so it would be better to just get rid of them all.

"A clean country is easier to manage."

The mouse gazed at the distant stars, a look of reminiscence in its eyes.

The current scene is just like what Raleigh casually said in class a few years ago: if you want to change a country, you must first eliminate its aristocratic class.

Back then, Raleigh was severely criticized by the instructors at headquarters, but now, they have truly done what they said they would do.

On Rubek Island, in the square of the Don Quixote family's residence.

The navy personnel, who were previously enjoying meat and alcohol, are now fully prepared for battle.

Sengoku, his face ashen, held up the Den Den Mushi, staring at the nonchalant Borsalino and Raleigh in front of him, his anger rising. Just now, a message came from the navy stationed at the Kingdom of Eryorobu.

Because a large number of naval forces were mobilized from the surrounding areas of the Eryoko Kingdom, their strength became very weak.

Taking advantage of this moment, the workers' rebel army within the kingdom launched a major uprising. According to intelligence brought back by informants, the rebel army has defeated the king's guard and is marching towards the capital of the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

"So, you just left, and they immediately started their rebellion, right?"

"Sengoku said, barely suppressing his anger."

He is hailed as a strategist, and although there are inside stories he is unaware of, the timing of these coincidences clearly indicates a coordinated effort.

Both the navy and the rebel army cooperated seamlessly.

However, both Borsalino and Raleigh are thick-skinned and don't care about Sengoku's gaze unless they can produce evidence.

"Alright, let's set off now."

After thinking it over, Zhan Guo decided not to say anything more.

After all, he was indeed an admiral of the Navy Headquarters, but the person in charge of the situation in the entire North Blue was Borsalino, who stood in front of him with an indifferent expression.

There was another one, Raleigh, who looked completely indifferent.

Neither of the two admirals of the North Sea Navy took their jobs seriously, so there was no reason for him to be angry.

In the pitch-black night, amidst the salty sea breeze, Sengoku and his entourage boarded a warship bound for the Kingdom of Eryokobu, though they knew it was already too late.

Inside the office of a warship during the Warring States period.

Sengoku sat at the table, reading a report on everything that had happened since Raleigh arrived in the North Sea.

To verify the truth of the matter, he also had Gion and the mouse each write a report and submit it to him for review.

After a long while, when the candle was about to go out, Sengoku finally let out a long sigh.

Intelligent, ambitious, cunning, ruthless, and adept at manipulating people.

"What kind of monster are you, Christine Raleigh?"

Perhaps the name mentioned in the Warring States period was taboo, or perhaps it was just a passing breeze; in any case, the candle on the desk was blown out, and in the darkness, only a pair of bright eyes were gazing into the darkness ahead.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford's Grand Marshal's Office.

Kong was still working overtime in the office long after it was time to leave work. He had just received a distress call from the Kingdom of Eryue and a report call from the Kingdom of Zhan.

Fortunately, these things have been covered up and have not yet been discovered by the World Government.

Sora was also curious as to why the World Government hadn't reprimanded him, assuming it was because they were quick enough to block the news. But what he didn't know was that the CP members in the Kingdom of Eryorobu had either been dealt with by Dragon or by people sent by Raleigh.

"Take a look, everyone. This is a telegram from the Warring States period; it's a very troublesome matter."

Kong handed the telegram in his hand to He in front of him.

Currently, only He is at the naval base.

Upon hearing that Roger had appeared somewhere in the New World, Garp excitedly led his men to chase after him.

"Marshal Kong, I don't think this matter is beyond repair."

"The Kingdom of Eryorobu has seen many uprisings throughout history. Besides, we were ordered by the World Government to capture Bondi, which left Wald with a weak garrison."

Kong nodded, then said:

The matter of the Kingdom of Eryoko isn't particularly troublesome; the real importance of this telegram is that Sengoku wants to know my opinion of this Christine Rory.

"Christian Rory? Borsalino's brother?"

Crane asked curiously, it seemed the last time he heard this name was when the king and nobles of a kingdom in the East Blue were massacred by pirates.
