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

Rosinante needs to go to Enies Lobby with Raleigh because he will be providing substantial evidence as a witness.

This matter has been solidified by Sengoku and Raleigh, and even a small group within the World Government cannot overturn it.

The only thing they cared about was that Doflamingo wasn't tried and sentenced to death, which was already a concession Sengoku and Raleigh made to the World Government. The World Government was well aware of this.

As for the others, they were all sentenced to severe punishments and imprisoned in Impel Down with Doflamingo. After Rosinante completed his mission, he chose to return directly to Marineford, with Raleigh responsible for escorting him.

But for some reason, the Don Quixote family's officers kept dying from their injuries, and all the officers who were captured before even reaching Impel Down had already died.

Regarding this matter, Raleigh only made up some reasons.

The Warring States period had no objection to this.

Doflamingo was furious and vowed revenge on Raleigh. However, Raleigh kicked him, breaking seven of his ribs, and he lay on the ground curled up like a shrimp.

I just said I wouldn't let you die, not that I couldn't hit you.

After seeing Doflamingo's miserable state, Raleigh said nothing and turned to leave Impel Down!

The Kingdom of Sobel on the Grand Line.

The tyrant Kuma is the current king of the Kingdom of Sobel, and he has not yet taken over as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, they came into contact with the Revolutionary Army and Dragon earlier than before.

At this moment, the dragon is a guest in the Kingdom of Sobel.

On the ornately decorated rooftop of the palace, a dragon stands alone, gazing into the distance.

This is a good place to think about problems.

Da da da

The voice came from behind.

Without turning around, the dragon knew who it was.

"Mr. Long, what are you thinking about?"

Behind him stood the enormous and imposing Bartholomew, nicknamed the Tyrant.

Long Wei turned his head slightly and said softly:

"world."

The bear didn't say anything; he just sat quietly next to the dragon and relaxed for a while.

"Kuma, the Revolutionary Army may need to consolidate its forces."

Long suddenly remembered a phone call from a few days ago, which jolted him awake.

It turns out that the seemingly enormous revolutionary army was just a collection of grains of sand forming a tower. The information came from his closest people, so he naturally did not doubt the accuracy of the information. Moreover, he was not even aware of some of the contact points, and it was only through his subordinates that he could verify them.

This shows that the power of the world government is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Bear, how much do you know about the World Government after all these years as king?"

The bear's face scrunched up as it searched its memory for information about the World Government. After a long while, it finally said:

"I haven't been king for very long, and my understanding of the World Government is insufficient; most of my knowledge comes from the newspapers."

"Because I hate the World Government's exorbitant fees and the World Nobles' inhumane treatment of people, I rarely take the initiative to learn about the World Government."

Upon hearing this, Long sighed. He had long known that Kuma didn't know much about the World Government, and asking was just a way of seeking hope.

If we're talking about who in the world has the deepest understanding of the World Government, then aside from those within the World Government itself, it would be the Navy.

Dragon was once a commander in the Navy. Even after so many years in the Navy, he knew very little about the information held by the World Government. He probably only knew that the Celestial Dragons had several CP organizations, each responsible for different areas. Among them, CP was the strongest and was known as the shield of the Celestial Dragons.

Where there is a shield, there is a weapon; the Celestial Dragons' Knights should be their weapon of attack, although the Celestial Dragons have never admitted this.

In addition, Dragon had heard from someone in the Navy that the Celestial Dragons possessed a power capable of destroying the world.

If the Celestial Dragons really make a move, then no force in the world will be able to survive.

"Mr. Long, what are you thinking about?"

Bear persisted, and after a moment's thought, Dragon replied, "I've always felt that the World Government possesses something capable of changing the world, and I need to modify my plans to counter it."

"But the revolutionary army is now like a high-speed train traveling at sea; I can only slow it down slightly, not stop it completely."

Therefore, before the train at sea derails, I must find a breakthrough, a breakthrough that can break through the current order.

After listening, Xiong couldn't help but worry about Long. He knew his ideas were no match for Long's, so he didn't offer any more advice.

The dragon paid no attention to the bear, but looked into the distance, devising a way to break the deadlock in its mind.

A few days later, Raleigh received a message from Belo Betty on the warship. He sensed something was amiss; the Revolutionary Army, which had been growing rapidly like a flood, was beginning to contract under Dragon's command.

Some kingdoms that could have been liberated were completely deserted, with not a single revolutionary soldier to be found.

"Why did you suddenly become so obedient?"

To be honest, Raleigh also secretly played a role in the development of the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army's current size is inseparable from Raleigh's manipulations.

According to Raleigh's calculations, the Revolutionary Army should have continued to expand its operations worldwide, and then erupted globally at a crucial moment.

Leveraging its existing size, it can snowball globally and confront world governments head-on.

Stopping now clearly indicates that the dragon has sensed something is wrong.

Inform the revolutionary army members not to reveal their identities recently, and not to believe any information that could expose them. Reactivate the revolutionary army only after the uprising has begun.

Raleigh has always considered Dragon a very important rival.

It's not just his strong abilities; what makes dragons even more frightening is their innate leadership qualities and brilliant mind.

This is why he was able to build a revolutionary army, something that no one else in the navy could have done.

"So what should we do now, Brother Raleigh?"

Enel asked curiously.

Raleigh laughed, put his legs up on the desk, pulled up his blindfold, and said:

Doing nothing is our current approach.

The world situation has become extremely strange.

In the realm of pirates, numerous battles have taken place in the New World, with Shanks, the Rookie King, being the most prominent. From the moment he entered the Grand Line, he garnered attention as the only remaining pirate from Gol D. Roger's crew still active in the public eye. As he progressed, he engaged in major battles with Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin. While he may not have escaped defeat, it's clear he wasn't severely beaten.

Even after leaving the territories of the two pirate emperors, he continued to write his own legend, and many pirates believed that Shanks would become the third emperor of this sea.

It's even possible that he will follow in the footsteps of the Pirate King Roger and become the second Pirate King.

Because of Shanks' high reputation, a large number of pirates flocked to the islands Shanks passed by, hoping to join Shanks' great pirate crew and support him to become the new emperor.

As for the government, the behavior of the Celestial Dragons and nobles remained unchanged, as they continued to spend money and find slaves all over the world. However, due to Tiger's disturbance in the Holy Land, security was even more stringent.

Even the people Lorian planted were frequently reassigned, making information transmission extremely difficult.

Therefore, Raleigh treated them the same as the Revolutionary Army.

On the naval front, because Sengoku and Tsuru trusted each other enough, and all kinds of conditions and resources were available, the naval intelligence department developed extremely rapidly. Many of the Revolutionary Army's contact points have been discovered by the navy, and even the true face of the dragon has been photographed.

If it weren't for the fact that Dragon is Garp's son, and Sengoku chose not to report the information to the World Government, the World Government would have already punished Garp by now.

Raleigh and Sakazuki fought pirates all over the Grand Line, and now the number of pirates who can successfully make it from Paradise to the New World is two-thirds less than before.

Within the navy, a new ideology-driven navy nurtured in the North Sea is also flourishing.

The list that Cleveland gave to Raleigh last time already covered the vast majority of the Navy's branches in the four seas, and even the G-class branch on the Grand Line had members admitted.

Right now, it's not Raleigh who should be worried, but rather the unstoppable Revolutionary Army leader, Monkey D. Dragon.

A few days later, in the far north of the North Sea, the dragon returned to the place where he started.

Before it was abolished, this place remained the headquarters of the revolutionary army.

On the return journey, he also figured it out.

Even if it's something impossible, he will do his best to accomplish it, otherwise the revolutionary army's progress will really come to an end.

Even if an uprising breaks out in the future, it will only be a fleeting phenomenon.

Upon returning to the far north, he immediately summoned high-ranking officers of the revolutionary army to a meeting at headquarters.

At the meeting, he resolutely explained to everyone a principle: reckless expansion leads to disorganization, and only when integration is completed can it adapt to new battles.

To Long's relief, no one in the audience had any objections to what he said.

They were basically the same people who started the Long uprising, and they didn't question Long's words.

The few people who were promoted after the large-scale expansion of the revolutionary army were only worried that such changes would delay the revolutionary army's uprising.

In fact, those who raised dissenting opinions were basically Raleigh's elite troops, which is why they were able to get to this point in such a short time.

They had to voice their objections, but they couldn't question the dragon's decision; only in this way could they avoid being suspected of loyalty by the dragon.

After all, it's really hard to trust someone who has just joined the Revolutionary Army and is already a staunch supporter of the Revolutionary Army.

After integrating the opinions of mid- to senior-level cadres, Long began to assign tasks to individuals, and the original configuration of only five armies was divided up by Long.

They were divided into more than a dozen smaller armies, each led independently by an officer at the meeting, who in turn reported directly to Long.

In this way, Long controlled all the military power of the revolutionary army, and even if one or two brigade commanders defected, it would not affect the overall situation.

For those bases and individuals who disagreed with the Revolutionary Army's will, Ryu was prepared to ruthlessly purge them. He wanted to resolve the internal problems quickly and decisively before officially launching a war against the World Government. In the two-story mansion in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders sat together again. Looking at the intelligence in their hands, the tall, thin Five Elder spoke first, saying, "The Revolutionary Army has probably discovered our movements. They've now abandoned many of the contact points we've been scouting."

Moreover, several of our personnel who were planted there have gone missing.

I can understand the revolutionary army's reaction, but what is Sengoku doing? Is he really not going to care about anything?!

Because the Revolutionary Army suddenly started changing personnel and contact points, the intelligence secretly collected by the Five Elders is becoming obsolete at an alarming rate.

When the intelligence was sent back, one-third of it was already outdated; now, perhaps two-thirds is outdated as well. Yet the Navy has made no response. How can this please the Five Elders?

The Five Elders, holding swords, adjusted their glasses. "Have we been too lenient with the Navy in recent years, making them forget that we are the masters?"

If this marshal from the Warring States period continues to act this way, then replace him with someone more obedient.

"Let Sora go to Marineford to find Sengoku. We'll only give him this one chance."

We need to act quickly, because if we don't, we'll have to expend all our energy gathering intelligence again.

The port of Marineford.

Without any warning, Sora appeared in the sights of the patrolling soldiers.

The soldiers wanted to salute Kong, but Kong waved them off and then used Moonwalk to rush up to the top of Marineford's fortress.

Knock knock—.

"Enter."

Sora walked into the familiar office with a blank expression, looking coldly at Sengoku who was engrossed in signing documents.

Warring States period originally thought it was a work report.

M

After a while, noticing no one was speaking, he picked it up and looked at it, then immediately put it off his seat.

He stood up from his seat.

"Marshal Kong, what brings you here so suddenly?"

Zhan Guo hurriedly arranged for someone to brew him a cup of tea.

Kong's eyebrows furrowed:

"I won't drink the tea. I came here for one thing: Sengoku, have you betrayed the Navy?"

The Warring States period was greatly alarmed and exclaimed repeatedly:

"No, how could that be? I would never betray the Navy!"

"Master Kongyuan, where did you hear this rumor?"

Kong's expression softened slightly, but he still spoke in a very unpleasant tone;

"Don't tell me you don't know about the troop movements of the Revolutionary Army. Anyone who pays attention to the Revolutionary Army can spot such a large-scale operation."

What I find puzzling is, given your vast military strength and intelligence network, why didn't you inflict a heavy blow on the Revolutionary Army when they were mobilizing? Instead, you gave them an opportunity to consolidate their power!

"I need an explanation, and the government needs an explanation too!!!"

Seeing Sora's insistent attitude, Sengoku sighed and then said:

Air Marshal, the government only allowed the Navy to supervise the Revolutionary Army, but did not grant them the authority to fight.

A cold snort escaped from Kong's nose, and he said disdainfully:

"You are the naval admiral I personally promoted, and I know your character."

"Sengoku, you should know that I am here representing the will of the Five Elders. I want to hear the truth, not lies to fools."
