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

In the naval base office, Miles was busy serving Raleigh. If others saw that this usually resolute brigadier general could turn into a sycophant, they would probably be shocked.

Raleigh was somewhat helpless; he wasn't one of those noble lords and wasn't used to being served like this.

"Alright, Miles, don't be so polite."

Miles turned and brought over the tea he was holding. "Master, don't I know you? You'd rather lie down than sit up."

Raleigh felt a little ashamed that his past had been exposed, but he quickly regained his composure.

If someone else said that to him, Raleigh wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson with his fists, or simply silencing him.

But Miles is different; he's the one who documented Raleigh's time there.

If Miles hadn't insisted on staying in the North Sea, he might be even stronger now.

"Just how strong have you become, kid?"

Raleigh wanted to check on Miles's strength, as he hadn't seen his disciple in a long time.

Miles put down what he was holding and said respectfully;

Master, my current strength is between Brigadier General and Major General, but if I use a Devil Fruit, I can reach above Major General and below Brigadier General.

Raleigh nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to players like him who are overpowered and those with innate talent like Sakazuki and Borsalino, Miles is a more normal level of genius.

After all, Gion and Kakei have only recently been promoted to lieutenant general.

However, Raleigh was very curious about how well Miles had mastered his Devil Fruit ability.

Miles, to what extent have you mastered your Devil Fruit?

Miles thought for a moment, then explained everything to Raleigh:

Master, if I were to increase my speed and strength now, I could only achieve a maximum increase of fifty times, not even a hundred times.

"The number of cannons commonly used on warships can already be increased by up to sixty times, but the larger the shell size, the smaller the increase in power."

Inside the office, Raleigh felt increasingly satisfied.

Although Miles is not yet a trump card for Raleigh, he is still very young and has a lot of potential.

More importantly, everyone knows that Miles is Raleigh's apprentice, but what no one knows is that Miles is a Devil Fruit user.

This is a hidden move left by Raleigh.

After Miles stayed in the North Blue, Raleigh secretly gave him the Multiply Fruit, and from then on, Miles became a Devil Fruit user.

Furthermore, in subsequent promotions, Raleigh consistently assigned Miles the role of a naval admiral responsible for guarding fixed areas, rather than an admiral like him who was tasked with capturing pirates.

Firstly, it was to reduce the chances of Miles revealing his Devil Fruit abilities. Secondly, it was to make people in the Navy gradually forget about Miles's existence. You see, whether capturing pirates is successful or not, they will always be in people's sight. Only those generals who stay in their bases and don't go out will be slowly forgotten.

"Master, why don't we give it a try? You can also test my strength."

Miles was eager to try; his mentor was now a Marine Admiral, and he wanted to be the first person to make a move after Raleigh's promotion.

"Forget it. With your current strength, you can't withstand a single blow from me without using your Devil Fruit powers."

Raleigh pursed his lips, but his apprentice Miles, undeterred by any setback, still asked:

If I use the power of a Devil Fruit, does that mean I can fight you?

Raleigh scratched his ear and said irritably:

Are you underestimating the strength of an admiral? Let me tell you, even if you used your Devil Fruit powers to reach the level of a vice admiral, you could only block one attack.

Miles lowered his head in frustration, but he quickly rallied.

What's so shameful about being defeated by a general in a second? In this world, how many people can actually fight a general?

Moreover, his master was a general, and his senior master Borsalino was also a general.

With two generals standing behind him, how could he not be a little more arrogant!

So, thinking of this, Miles straightened his back and stood up again.

At that moment, a messenger in a naval uniform knocked on the office door. After receiving permission, the messenger handed Miles the newspaper in his hand.

Having received Miles's order, the messenger quickly left the office and closed the door behind him. "What's wrong?"

Raleigh put the perfectly brewed tea into his mouth and instantly felt refreshed.

"Master, the pirates in the New World are fighting again."

Shanks, the rising star captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, and Kaido, the veteran captain of the Beasts Pirates, clashed on an island.

There was no full-scale war between the two sides; Shanks and Kaido only fought, and Shanks left the island with minor injuries. Kaido did not order a pursuit.

A dangerous glint flashed in Raleigh's eyes:

"As expected of the key figure guiding the chosen one, he has grown so quickly."

A few years ago, Shanks didn't even have the strength to stand in front of Kaido. Now, he can fight Kaido and leave easily. You can imagine how fast his strength has improved in the past few years.

However, Raleigh wasn't worried about how it would affect his plans.

He's just an underdeveloped Yonko.

Even if they grow stronger, so what? It's not like none of the Four Emperors haven't died at the hands of the Navy.

The Navy could kill Whitebeard in his prime, so killing Shanks would be a piece of cake.

"It seems the new world is about to descend into chaos again."

Miles exclaimed.

He had dealt with Shanks before, when Shanks had passed through the island he was on, although Shanks was already quite powerful back then.

Without revealing his Devil Fruit powers, Miles could only watch Shanks leave.

"Alright, he's not someone you can handle right now. Besides, chaos in the new world might not be without its benefits for us."

Raleigh spoke calmly: "The current world situation is chaotic and tense everywhere."

Everywhere they go, there are powder kegs that could explode at the slightest touch, and everyone knows this but no one can solve it. The revolutionary army's influence extends to most kingdoms in the four seas, but they have not taken action to overthrow these kingdoms.

The pirates of the New World have been gradually brought under the control of a few powerful pirates, and someone has spread the rumor that the strongest pirates can call themselves pirate emperors.

Charlotte Linlin was the first pirate to declare herself emperor, followed by Kaido, who became the second pirate to do so.

Currently, the pirates of the New World are fighting like madmen in their struggle for the title of the third Emperor.

Meanwhile, Raleigh was comfortably asleep on the sofa in Miles' office.

In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Eryokobu in the North Sea.

The revolutionary army commander, Raven, stared in utter astonishment at the beautiful and charming new king before him.

He originally belonged to this kingdom, but left because he followed the Dragon Rebellion.

After learning about Long's plan, he wanted to see his hometown one last time, so he applied to return.

However, he did not expect that when he returned to his hometown, he would be shocked by the environment before him. The once severely polluted kingdom was gradually returning to the scene of his childhood.

To his surprise, his trail was discovered by the king's guards, and the kingdom's young queen invited him to the palace for a chat.

"Excuse me, Queen Belo Betty, I think I didn't quite catch what you said. Did you say you wanted to join our revolutionary army?"

The crow opened its beak wide.

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why the new queen would think of joining the revolutionary army.

Frankly speaking, most of the members of the revolutionary army were people from the lower rungs of society.

To survive and for dignity, they had no choice but to join the revolutionary army.

But Belo Betty was different; her wealth and noble status were unmatched by anyone else in the Revolutionary Army.

It's hard to imagine that someone like her would voluntarily join the revolutionary army.

"Yes, Mr. Raven, you heard me right. I did say that I wanted to join the revolutionary army."

Belo Betty smiled slightly and repeated her words.

Why?

The raven looked Belo Betty up and down, then pointed to the magnificent palace and said:

You own this kingdom, and you live in such a luxurious palace.

"You also possess immense wealth and a noble status; I believe even the world government would treat you with respect."

Belo Betty bit her lip and looked at the crow with her big eyes;

Being a king is not an easy job, especially for the king of the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

"Mr. Raven, you come from the Kingdom of Eryokobu, so you naturally know how important it is to the World Government. They would naturally want one of their own people to be king of such an important position."

Unfortunately, I am the only member of the royal family left in this country, so they plan to force me to marry another man in the World Government in order to gain control of the country.

But I absolutely will not allow myself to marry someone I don't like.

Belo Betty's words revealed an unwavering determination, and the crow also understood from Belo Betty's words why she thought of joining the revolutionary army.

If he were Belo Betty, he would most likely choose this path as well.

"Actually, before I met Mr. Crow, I didn't necessarily need to join the Revolutionary Army; I was planning to apply for the Navy's protection."

"However, the Navy refused, saying it wasn't their mission. Besides, Mr. Raven is from our country, and I wholeheartedly trust you."

Although the raven was moved by Belo Betty's words, as the commander, he chose to remain silent for the time being. He needed more time to investigate before he could introduce Belo Betty to the dragon.

Whether Belo Betty can join the Revolutionary Army depends entirely on Dragon's opinion.

Of course, it would be best if Belo Betty could join the Revolutionary Army, since this is still the place in the North Sea that produces the most refined iron and coal.

With the support of the Kingdom of Eryokobu, the revolutionary army's weapons and equipment will be fully upgraded in a short period of time.

"Queen Belo Betty, please forgive my rudeness. Whether you can join the Revolutionary Army is not my decision; the only thing I can do is introduce you to our leader—Dragon."

"You may only join the revolutionary army if our leader agrees."

The far north, the revolutionary army's stronghold, the intelligence center.

"What? What did you say? A queen of a kingdom wants to join the revolutionary army?!"

"Are you sure, Commander Raven?"

"Yes, I will inform the leader immediately!"

A shrewd-looking middle-aged man hurriedly ran out of the house with a Den Den Mushi and sprinted all the way to Ryu's office.

Reach out and knock on the door.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!

"What's the rush? Come in."

A questioning voice came from inside the house as the middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered.

Long, who was about to say something, suddenly froze. He had thought it was some naughty child who was in a hurry, but he didn't expect it to be his trusted subordinate, who had always been very steady.

Anything that can excite him must be something significant.

"What is it, Carlyle?"

Carlisle suppressed his excitement and quickly handed the Den Den Mushi to the dragon. "Our leader, the Queen of the Kingdom of Eryokobu, the hometown of Commander Raven, intends to bring the entire kingdom to join our revolutionary army."

This message came from Commander Raven himself, which is why I was so excited.

Upon hearing this news, the dragon could understand why Carlisle was so excited. The reason was simple: he was also a member of the Kingdom of Eryorobu.

In fact, most of the revolutionary soldiers in the far north are former miners from the Kingdom of Eryokobu, and they naturally have deep feelings for the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

If the Kingdom of Eryokobu can join the revolutionary army, it means they can return to their homeland at any time.

And they didn't return as rebels, but as comrades in a proper way.

The dragon, however, had many more ideas.

He was not from the Kingdom of Eryokobu, so naturally he didn't have such deep feelings for it, but the Kingdom of Eryokobu's mineral resources were extremely important.

With such a vast amount of mineral resources, the revolutionary army's weaponry will experience a qualitative leap, and weapons that were previously impossible to produce will now be available.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Eryokobu is a populous country. Although many people have been taken away by the dragon, there are still many people living in the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

For all these reasons combined, joining the revolutionary army was extremely beneficial for the Kingdom of Eryoko, and no one suffered any losses.

But the dragon simply didn't believe such a good thing could exist in the world.

Having witnessed the most evil dragons at the bottom of this world, I know that although their ideals are bright, they will also use dark means to achieve them.

So he directly called Raven, and after confirming that Belo Betty was indeed interested in joining the Revolutionary Army, Dragon immediately ordered the gathering of several hundred Revolutionary Army intelligence personnel to infiltrate the Kingdom of Eryoko in batches.

At the same time, he contacted several cadres in the revolutionary army and decided to work with the intelligence agents who had infiltrated the Kingdom of Eryokobu to investigate whether Belo Betty had truly joined the revolutionary army.

If it is ultimately confirmed that Belo Betty is a true member of the Revolutionary Army, then the Revolutionary Army will be greatly strengthened.
