From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 244 New Era Newspaper [The Truth of the World II], the world is shocked
One week after the Dressrosa chaos, unlike the vague mention in the World Economic Times, the front-page headline of the twelfth issue of the New Era News directly exploded in the ears of all member states.

[The new king, Shichibukai Doflamingo, attempted to occupy the allied countries but was killed! 】

The front-page content that appeared in newspapers in front of the kings of the member states around the world made them tremble with fear.

The first page of the newspaper begins with an explanation of Doflamingo's arrangements and plans to seize power in Dressrosa.

The identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea means that even the allied countries cannot allow the navy to take action against them before their purpose is exposed.

The bloodline of the Don Quixote family also represents that Doflamingo can smoothly take over the power of Dressrosa.

He then used force to eliminate the guards, used the String-String Fruit to control the king to massacre the people, and finally appeared as the savior himself and gained the trust of all the people of Dressrosa.

The process given in the newspaper was not long, but just these few paragraphs made the kings who read the newspaper unable to think of any way to resist.

The power disparity is too great...

Even though they were just losers in the New World, the power they displayed was something that even a powerful country in the New World like Dressrosa could not cope with.

In the Drum Kingdom, Wapol also felt threatened when looking at the newspaper in front of him.

At this moment, he also began to regret not agreeing to the proposal to abolish the Seven Warlords system during the World Conference, but it was obviously too late to regret now, and he did not want to admit his mistake.

And the content of the New Times...

King Riku of Dressrosa seemed to have been prepared for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and paid a huge fortune to obtain the protection of the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

It is also because of this that when Doflamingo controlled him to kill the people, the Beasts Pirates landed in Dressrosa and killed them all.

Doflamingo, who had just been invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was no exception. His heart was pierced and he died.

Afterwards, although he killed the people under his rule with his own hands because he was controlled, King Liku still felt that he had made a big mistake and decided to return the king's power to the people.

"What a stupid fellow."

Wapol sneered, then thought of his own country.

"Then I will control the life and death of all the untouchables. In this way, everyone will be under my control!"

After muttering to himself, the Drum Kingdom began to order the expulsion of doctors. Twenty doctors were selected from the entire country to be stationed in the palace, and all other doctors were to be expelled.

From today on, all the untouchables who need medical treatment must pay me and sincerely thank me for my mercy!

"Wa hahaha!!!"

The loud laughter in the palace spread far away, and Wapol was very proud of his new policy.

However, the Drum Kingdom, located in the first half of the Grand Line, has been in darkness for a long time due to its arbitrary policies and ruthless exploitation since Wapol took over the throne from his father.

As the commander of the Revolutionary Army in charge of the first half of the Grand Line, Ivankov had arranged for a team to infiltrate here long ago and had developed quite a number of members.

The Drum Kingdom only needs a detonation point to ignite the fireworks of liberation.

……

Dressrosa, Royal Palace.

Likudold and Kevin had a private meeting.

After today, Rikudold will leave the palace, truly resign from his royal status, and participate in Dressrosa's policy making as a ruler.

Likudold put down the newspaper in his hand, looking relieved.

"Then there will be no problem. If the world knows about your existence, Dressrosa will be in danger."

Kevin looked at him and said, "How much do you know about the World Government?"

Likudold shook his head slightly.

"Eight hundred years ago, the Donquixote family, as one of the twenty kings, moved to Marijoa. The Riku family took over Dressrosa, but all I know are some fragments of information passed down by our ancestors."

"In fact, it shouldn't be the World Government... According to documents, the Don Quixote family that ruled Dressrosa eight hundred years ago had the ability to eliminate even natural disasters."

Natural disasters can be eliminated...

Kevin pondered this sentence.

O'Hara's historical documentation is very limited, and indeed the historical texts themselves are also very limited in their descriptions of world government.

But what Doflamingo said before his death made him think for a long time.

The weapon that can turn an island into an abyss and cause the world's sea level to rise by one meter does not seem to be the true power of the Celestial Dragons.

And now Rikudold has also mentioned the point of natural disasters, and it was the Don Quixote clan eight hundred years ago that had the ability to eliminate natural disasters, not the World Government.

"gentlemen……"

Likudold hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Even now, I still find it difficult to realize the ideals of the Revolutionary Army."

"Excuse me for being blunt. Even if all the members of the Revolutionary Army are strong, as strong as those of Doflamingo's cadres... it will be of no use to the World Government."

At this point he sighed: "Sir, you were able to kill so many Celestial Dragons and make them start to restrain themselves. This is already very good for ordinary people. But it is still very difficult to overthrow the World Government and change the world."

Kevin looked at him and smiled, "How do you know that the revolutionary army you saw is definitely the whole army?"

The two looked at each other.

"First……"

"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, Dressrosa will not have anything to do with the Revolutionary Army until the end."

After he finished speaking, Kevin stood up and left the palace.

In addition to explaining the contents of the New Era Newspaper to Dressrosa, this trip also provided Don Quixote with the power to eliminate natural disasters, which once belonged to him.

It seems that the twenty kings eight hundred years ago, including Alabasta, all seemed to have their own secrets.

……

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

After several years of inner tempering, Zhan Guo felt that his heart's ability to withstand stress had improved a lot.

But every time this newspaper appeared in front of him, his heart would beat faster, without exception.

"Since this morning, nearly 60% of the member states have inquired with the Navy's branches in various sea areas, asking if the Seven Warlords of the Sea can protect them if they plot against the member states."

Zhan Guo looked at the people in front of him.

The Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tsuru, General Aokiji Kuzan, and General Zephyr, the chief instructor of the youth training camp.

Zefa was the first to speak: "I am only an instructor now, and the rank of general is just a title. Sengoku, you should know whether you can protect yourself or not."

These words made Zhan Guo pause, and the guy who picked his nose came to his mind again.

As the four top fighters of the navy back then, only he and He are still fighting, while the other two have been in semi-retired state.

Vice Admiral Tsuru rubbed his forehead and said, "The report of the Revolutionary Army has torn down the shame cloth of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Since Dressrosa is one of the member states and is eligible to participate in the World Conference, it will naturally be paid attention to by the member states and used as a warning."

"But Sengoku... the navy cannot take action against the Shichibukai members. This is the foundation of the Shichibukai system of the World Government."

He paused for a moment and said, "So this is where the contradiction arises, and it is also what the kings of the allied countries are worried about."

As the words fell, the Marshal's office began to quiet down.

After a long time, Zefa stood up and walked out the door: "Don't ask me for advice on this kind of thing in the future, Sengoku, we all know that resistance is impossible, right?"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

This made the mood in the office a little lower again.

"Aokiji, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Kuzan raised his head and looked at Sengoku: "From the perspective of justice, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are naturally wrong, but from the perspective of the Marshal, we can do nothing to maintain the basic balance. However..."

"Didn't the King of Dressrosa come up with a good solution? We can give them an answer, or let them ask the World Government."

"The Navy is just a knife. Whether this knife can stab the Seven Warlords of the Sea depends on the person holding the knife, not the knife itself, right?"

The tone was almost teasing, but Zhan Guo did not get any emotion.

Asking the allied countries that paid the Sky Gold to seek help from pirates? Who knows if this will lead to a wolf entering the house? At the same time, this is also a humiliation to the navy, and the headquarters may be in chaos again.

King Riku of Dressrosa has already resigned from the position of king, and no one knows if there is any secret in this.

"Kuzan."

Crane's voice sounded: "Justice will not allow this to happen. You know what our responsibility is. If the sea falls into chaos, countless people will die."

Kuzan looked over and said, "But in this world... many people are living... it's better to be dead."

For a moment, He Du, who was serving as a staff officer, was blocked and retreated.

Is it a world where life is worse than death?

But only if you are alive can you have hope...

It wasn't until Sengoku spoke that Kuzan left the office, the admiral's cloak of justice fluttering behind him.

……

Zhan Guo turned the newspaper over, and the headline on the second page of the New Era made him even more nervous.

【The Truth of the World II】

【A year ago, due to the discovery of underwater ruins, we speculated that the world used to have several continents, but they were later submerged by the sea.】

[Now, we have confirmed this speculation. This world had continents 800 years ago, but the sea level rose during that period, causing the continents to be submerged, and also forming today's geographical location.]

【After confirming this, we also discovered some common features of the national palaces. 】

[The King's Highlands of Dressrosa, the capital of Alabasta, Albana... and most importantly... Marijoa, the place where the Celestial Dragons live.]

[Without exception, the royal seats of these kings, that is, the locations of their palaces, are all built on high ground. And the Celestial Dragons live at the highest point in this world: on the Red Earth Continent.]

[Interestingly... King Rikudold before Dressrosa didn't know this, because the Riku family has only been a royal family for 800 years...]

[Before this, the king of Dressrosa, who built the King's Highlands, was the Don Quixote family. This family was one of the twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, and is also one of the surnames of the current Celestial Dragons. ] [In this case, can we guess... they knew that this world would sink into the sea, or they... made this world sink into the sea! ]

The content of the second edition ends here, but its content has caused panic and anxiety throughout the world.

[The Truth of the World II] directly states that the authenticity of the previous series of reports has been confirmed, while also providing new clues and new speculations.

These almost apocalyptic remarks are closely related to everyone's life. No one can ignore them, and no one can ignore them.

“Has it grown to this point?”

Lieutenant General He looked at the newspaper in his hand and said, "Since ten years ago, their actions have become more and more blatant. The report more than a year ago seemed to be just a test, but now it is a follow-up."

Zhan Guo nodded with a heavy face: "Indeed. It is obvious that their power has accumulated to a certain extent in the dark, otherwise this report would not have appeared."

"Tsuru... The Revolutionary Army is too radical. If this level of force leads to a purge, everything we have done will be meaningless."

After a moment's silence, He said, "We need to have a dialogue with the Revolutionary Army. Although they are still enemies at present, if we let them continue... the consequences will be irreversible."

Zhan Guo looked at him, and they both thought of a name at the same time.

Bartnomie.

……

In the past three days, the twelfth issue of the New Times spread all over the sea.

In the sea of ​​nations, BiGMOM slammed the newspaper on the table, his eyes dark and scary.

She doesn't care about the fate of Dressrosa, nor does she care about the losers in the New World.

But even though she was once a member of the Rocks Pirates, all she knew was burning, killing and looting, and she had no idea what the past of this world was like.

“Hmmmm… What a terrifying statement. So, those idiots in Marijoa are hiding this secret?”

As he spoke, BiGMOM pulled Thundercloud Zeus over, and with his other hand he did the same with Prometheus.

"What do you think... should we build Cake Island high as well?"

The two soul creatures looked at each other and nodded quickly to show their agreement.

If they sink into the sea, they will be gone.

……

In the New World's Whitebeard Pirates, Newgate is still enjoying the so-called family happiness with his sons.

Marco put away the newspaper in his hand, and he and Thatch looked at each other and then looked at their father.

"Dad, is everything the Revolutionary Army said true?"

"In that case, we'll need to build a very tall building. There are so many people with special abilities, and they're all landlubbers."

Newgate glanced at the newspaper and shook his beard: "That kid is too much. Such a report will drive those guys crazy."

Marco asked in confusion, "Didn't we have an article about the truth of the world before? I didn't see the World Government do anything. Sir, you are very powerful."

Thatch added: "Of course, it's far inferior to my father."

“Kulalala…”

Newgate laughed, then looked at Marco and explained, "That time it was just a test and suspicion, but this time it directly pointed out the secret and left clues for people to think about."

think?
On the Moby Dick, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were thoughtful.

Yes, the reason why they naturally believed the content of the report was because those countries also had Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent as an example.

Let people think for themselves and get the answers they want, which will be more convincing than telling them directly.

"Alabasta... this country is in the first half, right? There's a reason why this country isn't mentioned here."

Thatch looked back at the newspaper.

Newgate replied directly: "The current royal family of that country is also one of the twenty kings who once formed the World Government. The Revolutionary Army concealed this fact and put Dressrosa in the front and gave an explanation in order to prevent that country from being targeted."

The captains also reacted.

The several countries mentioned as examples will certainly attract attention, but the royal family of Dressrosa is no longer the family that once built the King's Highlands. If you want to ask, you can only go to Marijoa and ask the Celestial Dragons.

Since Alabasta did not mention it, everyone naturally assumed that the reason was the same as Dressrosa.

……

An article [The Truth of the World 2] made the entire ocean boil in just three days.

People were worried that the world would be completely submerged by the sea, and some people dived to the bottom of the sea to witness the ruins.

The kings of various countries, fearing that the Seven Warlords of the Sea would target them, began planning to build their palaces at higher places.

Soon, the civilians, who were already oppressed by the gold from heaven, were ordered to build new palaces. Without exception, they were all at the highest point in the country, and they were piled higher and higher.

Compared to the islands of various countries, the pirates have also begun to take action.

Be it the minions of the four seas or the pirates of the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, they all began looting more crazily.

The city of Water Seven suddenly became a gathering place for many pirates.

However, they came with money or knives not to build ships, but things like submarines.

……

Following the chaos caused by the Four Emperors as bait, the pirates on the sea once again began a crazy scene.

But this was also expected by the Revolutionary Army. The members of the Revolutionary Army who had been lurking as indigenous people for several years quickly formed a team and started fighting the pirates.

The seeds of courage to resist sprouted and grew after the victory, and for a time the ranks of the revolutionary army expanded again.

……

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

In the pub, Red Hair was reading a newspaper, while his friends around him were still drinking, bragging and chatting.

Jesus Bu is making a bet with the four members of the Imp Team that he can hit the antennae of an ant a thousand meters away.

Luffy, who claims to be the captain of the hero team, thinks he is bragging, the real captain Ace thinks it is impossible, but Uta says that the sniper of his own pirate group can really do it.

So after confirming the information with Uta, Nami opened the market and let Ace and Luffy place their bets.

At the bar, Shanks frowned and sighed.

Makino, who was wiping his wine glass, smiled and said, "Captain, are you also worried about the flood?"

Shanks looked up: "This is what everyone is discussing today. Only those few heartless people are still betting."

Hearing this, Makino looked at Luffy and said, "As long as the children are happy. But even if the sea water rises, it shouldn't be as high as the mountain behind, right?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Shanks also looked at Luffy and the others: "That's not necessarily true. But that gentleman shouldn't let something like this happen. He should have been prepared to publish this report."

Beckman, who had been silent, hesitated: "Our plan has been interrupted. Do we still have to stay in the East China Sea?"

Prior to this, the Red Hair Pirates returned to the East China Sea from the New World to avoid the chaos of the battle for the Four Emperors, and also to get the Rubber Fruit and give it to the captain's son.

But now that the rubber fruit has been taken away by that gentleman and the situation in the New World has gradually stabilized, there is no need to stay in the East China Sea anymore.

After thinking for a moment, the red-haired man stood up and put his straw hat on his head: "Let's have a party, Beckman. The party will be tonight, and we will set sail tomorrow! Destination: the New World!"

Beckman agreed, and after the notification was passed on, all members of the pirate group were excited.

At this time, after the money he owed Nami doubled again, Luffy had already reached here.

"I heard it!"

"Are you leaving? Going on a sailing adventure?"

"I want to go too. Although I don't want to be a pirate, I don't think you guys are bad pirates. So... can you let me on board? I'm pretty good!"

Shanks looked at Luffy and said, "Everyone has his or her time to show up, but it's not your time yet, Luffy. If there is a chance, I will wait for you on the sea."

Luffy pouted: "Humph! If you don't want to take me, then I won't take you. I will definitely find my own partners when the time comes, and become a man like the Black Arm General and the fishman hero Fiers along the way! Eradicate the darkness and adventure the world!"

Uta, who was also walking over, said disdainfully: "If you are bullied, just say my name. If you haven't heard of it, just say my father's name. Just don't get beaten up and cry."

"would not!"

Luffy clenched his fists: "I will eradicate all darkness, circle the Grand Line, and then hold a party for the whole world to attend, and everyone will dance happily, cheer and laugh!"

"boom."

The glass fell on the bar, and Shanks looked straight at Luffy.

This kid said something similar to the captain...

"Ok?"

Shanks' observation Haki flashed and he suddenly looked out the window of the tavern!
How can it be?
At this moment, Shanks would rather his observation Haki was wrong than believe the breath he had just sensed.

It was only for a moment, but it was so familiar.

"Beckman, I'm going to go out for a while."

Wearing a straw hat, Shanks went straight out of the tavern.

The observation Haki quickly covered the entire windmill village, but still found nothing.

But he did not give up, but searched area by area, even the back mountain was not spared.

It was almost midnight when Shanks suddenly turned around and walked towards Ace's house.

Yes, if the aura that I sensed is correct, then many things are self-evident.
