Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 232 The Great Turmoil of the New World.

New World Revolutionary Army Headquarters - Baldigo.

This is a desolate white island. Like Punk Hazard, it is an island without a magnetic field. There is no log pointer to point here. To get here, you can only use special navigation methods, such as Vivre Card guidance.

At that moment, in the office building of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Dragon was sitting at his desk, looking at the news in his hand.

"As expected, faced with the Navy's overwhelming power, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido chose to join forces," Dragon muttered to himself.

Just then, the door to his office was pushed open, and the young and handsome Sabo walked in, smiling as he said, "Mr. Dragon, Eva is back!"

"Eva?" Upon hearing this, Dragon stood up excitedly and looked towards the door. Then, he saw a large-faced woman squeeze into the room first.

This face is so heavily painted, it looks like a ghost.

It was none other than Ambrio Ivankov, one of the veteran members of the revolutionary army.

"Hehe!" Ivankov swaggered in, striking a cross-dressing pose, and said to Dragon, "Long time no see, Dragon."

"It has indeed been many years since we last met, after all, you were taken to Impelton," Dragon joked with a laugh.

"Thanks to the traces left by Mori-chan there, I've done pretty well in Impel Down all these years," Ivankov said, swaying his hips.

Morrie, a transvestite among the giants in the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army, actually escaped from prison earlier than Shiki. A hundred years ago, he was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down, but at the time almost no one knew that he was a Devil Fruit user, and there were very few Devil Fruit users among the giants.

This guy used his abilities to dig a tunnel from Impelton and escape. Because it was so well hidden, Impelton initially thought he had disappeared and never found out anything.

While Ivankov was imprisoned in Impel Down, he found the 5.5 floor that Namori had created and lived there for quite a while. He was also listed as a missing person on Impel Down's list.

Recently, the Revolutionary Army has been trying to rescue him, and thanks to the experienced Maurice, they were finally able to secretly rescue him from Impel Down.

"Anyway, it's great to see you again, especially with all the big events happening lately. Our revolutionary army needs more cadres to do things," Dorag said with a smile, patting Ivankov on the shoulder.

"I heard quite a bit of news in prison. Whitebeard died in Marineford, and Shanks was recently taken down by the Navy. I also heard that a formidable figure has emerged in the Navy in the last two years, named Bane? Have you met him?" Ivankov asked.

"I've never seen him before. I never heard of him when I was in the Navy. But as you said, he's a formidable character. The Marineford War was triggered by him, and he also wiped out the Red-Haired Pirates. He even fought Kaido for two days and three nights to a draw, and during that time, he also took down Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You can imagine how terrifying his strength must be," Dragon said with great emotion.

"He's legendary in Impel Down too. They say his physique is monstrous, the strongest man on the sea. Is that true?" Ivankov asked, pausing slightly before Dragon could reply, then added, "Is he even more terrifying than Charlotte Linlin?"

"I don't have accurate information." Dragon shook his head, but quickly added, "However, according to a rumor that Kaido once made a drunken slip of the tongue, he believes that Bane's strength is indeed more terrifying than Charlotte Linlin's. Based on this, it's possible that he really is the strongest man on this sea!"

"These born monsters are truly terrifying," Ivankov remarked, clicking his tongue in disbelief.

"No, he shouldn't have been born with such terrifying power. During the Marineford War, he was overwhelmed by Kaido in the live broadcast. At that time, although we could sense that he had great potential, no one expected that he could convert that potential into strength so quickly," Dragon said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, none of the admirals are to be underestimated," Ivankov sighed.

At this point, Ivankov sighed, "When I was first brought to Impel Down, the navy was also known as the master of the sea, but it certainly didn't have the momentum it has now. The situation has changed so much in the last few years. When I heard these news in Impel Down, I felt like I had been abandoned by the times."

"It's not too late to come out now," Dragon joked with a smile.

After they finished catching up, Dragon's expression turned serious. "Speaking of which, you probably don't know about Bear-kun."

"A bear?" Ivankov frowned. "What happened to him?"

Dragon took a deep breath and said with a sorrowful tone, "According to our top-secret intelligence, Bear-kun has most likely been transformed into a war machine, lost his own consciousness, and has been sent to Mary Geoise to become a toy for the Celestial Dragons."

As he said this, Dragon's expression turned gritted and filled with resentment. Not only him, but Sabo beside him also had a solemn expression, his eyes seemingly burning with fierce fire.

In fact, because Ace's matter was downplayed and ignored, and he wasn't executed, Sabo wasn't affected by it or reminded of his past. Otherwise, he might have rescued Ace as well.

"What?" Ivankov exclaimed in surprise, "How could it have turned out like this?"

"It all started with Ginny," Dragon quickly began recounting the story of Bartholomew Bear, and Ivankov grew increasingly furious as he listened.

Ginny and Bear are his friends who escaped from God's Canyon with him!

"So we must go and rescue him, right?" Ivankov said in a deep voice.

"Of course, the World Conference is a great opportunity. Mary Geoise will be filled with people from all over the world, which will naturally create many loopholes. My plan is to launch a surprise attack on Mary Geoise during the World Conference and take back Bear-kun," Dragon said without hesitation.

However, after a slight pause, he changed his tone and said, "This matter is already being planned, so don't worry. The most important thing right now is to take a look at this news."

"I saw it on the way here. The alliance between Big Mom and the Beasts must be in complete chaos by now," Ivankov said.

"According to our intelligence, many royal families from member states in the New World have begun contacting the Navy to escort them to Mary Geoise to participate in the World Conference. Ha. They've really found a good excuse for them to abandon their people and run away," Dragon sneered.

Although the number of member states under the World Government has remained between 170 and 200 for most years, the World Conference, which is held every four years, only invites 50 rotating member states to participate in Mary Geoise.

While fifty may sound like a lot, the core of the world's legitimate governments is mostly located within the four seas, and there are not many member states of the New World.

As far as Dragon knew, only six countries in the New World were qualified to participate in this World Conference on a rotating basis. However, the intelligence he received indicated that the royal families of at least fourteen member countries had used the World Conference as an excuse to abandon their citizens and flee to Mary Geoise.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

This shows how despicable these royals are!

"The upheaval hasn't happened yet, but it's inevitable. A large number of people have lost the protection of their country and will be severely affected by this war. It's even foreseeable that the number of refugees in the New World will rise to a terrifying level in the near future. Those damned nobles can ignore it, but we, the revolutionary army, can't turn a blind eye. We'll be busy after this," Dragon said with some helplessness.

After a moment of silence, Ivankov suddenly said, "If we think about it more coldly, isn't this perhaps a good opportunity for us to strengthen ourselves? The nobles and rulers of those kingdoms have abandoned their people and fled the New World. For us, isn't this the best time to start a revolution?"

"I have thought about that, but I'm afraid the Navy will be the victor in this final showdown between the Navy and the pirates. So after the war, the prestige of the World Government will reach an unprecedented level. When they send back the royal families of those member states, everything we've done will... might even put us in direct conflict with the World Government." Dragon said with a slight headache.

"Should I say you've become weaker than before, or should I praise you for being more composed as a leader? But Dragon, you shouldn't have any more illusions. Once the pirate threat in the New World is resolved, no matter what we do, we will face the blade of the World Government head-on," Ivankov said mercilessly.

Dragon paused for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right. I was too hesitant. Things have come to this point; we have no way out. In that case, let's go all out!"

It is also a new world.

On a sky island in Melvure, Nicole Robin is sitting in her office, looking at the news in her hands.

Since joining up with Bane and the others in the New World, Baroque Works' headquarters have gradually moved from Alabasta to Melview. Due to its importance and uniqueness, Melview has set up an island specifically for them as the core area of ​​Baroque Works, where Nico Robin usually handles her work.

"Vice President, did you call for us?" Mr. 3 Galdino asked as he walked in with his partner.

"Have you read today's newspaper?" Nicole Robin asked in a very cold tone, without any change in expression.

He appeared very indifferent, even cold-hearted.

In front of her subordinates, Robin exudes the aura of a powerful figure in the underworld. Over the past two years, she has personally executed many people who have failed in their duties. Within the Baroque Works organization, she is privately known as the "Dark Queen" by many executives.

"I've seen it. The Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have announced an alliance. This is indeed a big event," Galdino quickly said.

"Therefore, the new world will become more chaotic and uneasy, which is a good opportunity for us in Melvure. I need you to prioritize the work of absorbing refugees and triple the target I originally set. Any problems?" Nicole Robin continued reading her newspaper, not even glancing at the other person, and simply expressed her thoughts in a very indifferent manner.

Galdino swallowed hard, not daring to offer any objection, and immediately agreed, "Yes, I understand. I will relay your orders and guarantee the completion of the mission objectives!"
