I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Chapter 314 Bulma: You’re causing trouble without me?
The answer to this question is, of course, self-explanatory.

The so-called "Heavenly Gold" is actually the "tribute" that the 170 member states under the World Government pay to the Celestial Dragons on a regular basis every year. In theory, it is not limited to money, but also includes specialties from various countries. After all regions have gathered, they will be handed over to the navy and escorted to Marijoa, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

In the original work, there were several plots about "Gold in the Sky", but they only occupied a small amount of space.

Therefore, except for Uchiha Hikaru, Bulma, and Eri who have carefully read the entire comic, the other group members, even if they have read a little bit of One Piece, all feel unfamiliar with it.

So……

Why did Brand suddenly think of asking this?
Is it...

Did he happen to encounter senior officials of member countries plundering property from the people somewhere recently?

【Brand: That’s true.】

【Brand: Akahime, Leone, Tanjiro and I have been traveling to the Kingdom of Sara these days... the country on the island where we recently stayed. We have traveled a long way and heard some things from the people. Although some of them have not been verified, from what we know, the behavior of these high-ranking government officials is no different from those insects in the imperial high-ranking officials.

They actually took away the food that the people depended on for survival in order to pay tribute to the nobles. I think this is very bad. 】

【Wuming: So... do you want to start another revolution here? 】

Uchiha's eyes flickered.

She knows the general situation of the pirate world.

Beneath the surface of freedom and passion, this world actually has a rather heavy background.

——From the Four Seas to the Grand Line, from Orange Town to Wano Country, the vast majority of people in this world live in dire straits and suffer oppression. Some of this oppression comes from pirates, some from the navy, and some from the Celestial Dragons.

Strong people like Whitebeard and Kaido are rare.

There are only a few people like Luffy and Ace who have extraordinary backgrounds, have a lot of connections since birth, and are lucky enough to eat useful devil fruits.

The vast majority of ordinary people are being robbed, exploited, forced into slavery, hard labor, eating radioactive food and drinking water, and even being used as guinea pigs for human experiments. In Wano Country, there is a secret base for such experiments, which is maintained by Quinn, one of the Three Disasters, the "Plague".

A very absurd, but cold fact is:
Under the rule of the Four Emperors Big Mom, the Wanoku, where one has to extract lifespan in exchange for residency, is actually one of the most suitable places for ordinary people to live in the pirate world.

As a time traveler, Uchiha Hikaru can also put himself in a higher dimension and observe these situations with a cold eye.

However, people like Brand and Leonie all came from the lower classes, suffered similar injustices, and used this as a reason to join the revolution.

It is really difficult for them to ignore these situations.

but……

Because the Pirate World is Yamato's home turf, and the situation on Ace's side is more urgent, Brand was a bit conservative in his wording:
[Brand: It's not a revolution, I just want to do something to help these people, even if it's just to help them get rid of a few incompetent officials and temporarily free them from the oppression of "Tian Shang Jin"... Miss Bulma, can I, Akame, Leone and I ask for a few days' leave from you, if there is nothing urgent on the Pirates' side for the time being? ]

[Bulma: Um... Of course it's no problem to ask for leave. ]

[Bulma: But...Brand really doesn't intend to start another revolution here as Xiaoguang said? ]

[Brand: ...Ah? Are you serious?]

[Bulma: Ahem, although it may be a bit bad to say this, but... I am still quite curious about what you did in the Akagi world. It was a pity that I couldn't participate in person that time. Why don't you take me with you this time, and let's all make a big scene here together? ]

[Bulma: Well, of course, we still have to prioritize Yamato and Mr. Whitebeard.] Bulma wasn't kidding.

She is a person who likes to make trouble. She chose to come to this world to experience the life of a pirate, which put her on the opposite side of the world government. If she can make a big splash in the pirate world, Bulma is happy to do it.

can.

Brand was a little confused.

Although he had talked about politics several times in the group, he hadn't really thought that far ahead for the time being.

[Brand: This... "revolution" is not such a simple thing, it needs a popular base. With just a few of us outsiders from another world, I'm afraid...]

[Bulma: It doesn't matter. We can join forces with the Revolutionary Army here. I remember that there seemed to be several Revolutionary Army cadres in the Undersea Prison? Otherwise, Luffy's father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. As long as we find him, we should be able to find clues about the Revolutionary Army! ]

[Wumi: ...By the way, Mr. Brand, have you found out when the Sara Kingdom paid tribute of "Heavenly Gold" to the Celestial Dragons?]

[Brand: It seems to be in the near future, but the exact date is unclear.]

[Wumi: In that case... let's do something big. "Heavenly Gold" is not just for the exploitation of a certain country, but for all 170 member states, so even if we rescue the Kingdom of Sara, it will only be a temporary solution. How about looting all the "Heavenly Gold" of those 170 countries at once? ]

There are precedents for this kind of thing.

——Donquixote Doflamingo did this once, and used Tenjo Gold as a bargaining chip in exchange for a spot in the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But for Uchiha Hikaru and his party...

The title of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" is worthless.

They just want to make a big splash in this world and turn the ocean upside down.

……

In a few words.

The plan of "plundering 'gold from the sky'" has been temporarily finalized.

It must be done.

However, the specific action plan remains to be discussed.

After all, they don't even know the basic information such as the tribute time of "Heavenly Gold" and the naval escort route.

After a brief discussion, Brand, Akagi and others took on the responsibility of collecting intelligence.

After finishing the business at hand, Uchiha Hikaru once again traveled back to the pirate world, and together with Esdeath and others who were guarding here, as well as the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, welcomed a belated guest:

More than half a month after Rockstar failed to deliver a letter to Whitebeard.

Red-Haired Shanks' fleet appeared in this sea area.
