Chapter 335: The Revolutionary Army's Infiltration

The Revolutionary Army's mobility is second to none in the entire One Piece World; it is far faster than the administratively chaotic Pirates, the bloated and cumbersome Marine, and the sluggish World Government.

Just one month after the plan was formulated, six members of the Revolutionary Army had already become "beauties" offered as tribute in various remote small countries.

Well, three were genuine beauties, while the other three were artificial; never mind beauties, they weren't even women.

The Hormone Fruit ability of the Queen of Okama, Ivankov, is indeed perverse; not only can it help people change their gender, but it can also perform beauty treatments to a certain extent. Otherwise, there would be no way to directly turn Sabo, Karasu, and Morley into beauties.

Sabo still had burn scars on his face; seen from a man's perspective, these scars naturally just added some masculinity, but after turning into a woman, they were nothing but thorough scars.

If not for Ivankov's miraculous healing, it would have been impossible for him to turn into a beautiful woman—the things Ivankov's Hormone Fruit can do are actually numerous, it's just that this guy doesn't really like doing serious work.

Although the One Piece World has been in a constant state of war, the development of technology has never stopped. Uchiha Feiyu may not act like a human, but he is still much better than the World Government and the Celestial Dragons; he won't suppress the technological development of those below for some inexplicable reason.

Many technologies created by Vegapunk have already spread through the World Government to its directly controlled countries. Uchiha Feiyu himself also possesses some high technology obtained from the Dragon Ball World, and regardless of whether it is useful in this world or not, he has thrown it all to Vegapunk for research. At the very least, in terms of basic technology, these countries directly under the World Government are all approaching the 21st century.

The original Sail Battleships of the Marine and the World Government have now all begun to undergo mechanical retrofitting; the new Mechanical Warships are much faster than those Sail Battleships.

Right now, Uchiha Feiyu's affairs are the top priority for the entire World Government, so the fleet used by the World Government to pick people up is naturally the fastest. With these new ships, it only took three to five days for this group of Revolutionary Army members to gather together again.

"I didn't expect... the World Government's ships feel much faster than before!"

Marine Staff Officer Sabo, now transformed into the appearance of a wild beauty, stroked the steel railing on the outer edge of the warship and frowned as he said:

"I remember that in our wars, we never encountered this kind of steel warship..."

"Could it be that they were kept as a trump card? But if that were the case, they wouldn't be brought out so easily, right? Or used for this kind of purpose..."

Koala glanced at the ship full of beauties, her expression somewhat strange as she spoke.

Such a powerful warship, not being used on the battlefield but instead being used for this kind of thing, is completely incomprehensible to the consistently frugal Revolutionary Army.

"Hmm... perhaps it's because what we faced in the past were only the allied forces of those countries! The World Government hasn't truly made a move against us yet!"

Belo Betty, with a heavy face, uttered these depressing words.

In reality, regarding things like ruling the world, Uchiha Feiyu hasn't put much heart into it at all; he simply issued a goal and then became a hands-off manager.

It can be said that the current Uchiha Feiyu, aside from creating more female powerhouses in his spare time, spends the rest of his time cultivating or setting up Arrays. He only enjoys the power of ruling the world, while all responsibilities are left to his subordinates.

The women under Uchiha Feiyu are indeed loyal to him, but they don't get along very well with each other. Plus, the retrofitting of the ironclad warships does take some time, so until now, Hancock, Momousagi, and the others have not yet used the ironclad warships.

However, this is just harmless jealousy; even if Uchiha Feiyu knew, he wouldn't say anything. In any case, at most, the speed of unification is just a little slower.

"The World Government doesn't take us seriously at all... but this is also a good thing; at least the possibility of our plan succeeding has increased a little."

A look of indignation mixed with relief appeared on Belo Betty's face, and after a moment, she sighed.

The ship traveled very quickly, and in less than a week, it arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. This prosperous island, which once hid filth and corruption, is now free of the slave trade.

The "right of the first night" policy that Kozuki Hiyori implemented for Uchiha Feiyu might not sound any better than the slave trade in terms of its name, but the only person who can exercise this right is Uchiha Feiyu himself. Distributed across each country, it actually only amounts to a few dozen or a hundred people, which has no major impact at all.

As for others smuggling slaves... Heh, although Uchiha Feiyu himself is a rotten-to-the-core guy, that doesn't mean he can tolerate others shaking his rule! A villain in a high position finds it hardest to tolerate their own kind. In any case, everyone on the Sabaody Archipelago who dared to engage in the slave trade, as well as those who dared to keep slaves in private, were all wiped out by Uchiha Feiyu's subordinates.

The group from the Revolutionary Army looked at the now much more prosperous Sabaody Archipelago with great emotion. Koala said in a low voice: "Come to think of it, although the current World Government is more cold-blooded and dictatorial than before, the only thing they did that was truly satisfying was slaughtering all those Celestial Dragons!"

Koala had once been a slave to the Celestial Dragons and had no good impression of Mary Geoise or the Celestial Dragons. Since the Sabaody Archipelago was the centralized trading hub for the Celestial Dragons' slave trade, she naturally didn't like the original Sabaody Archipelago much either.

"In fact, under the rule of that guy named Uchiha Feiyu, the lives of the people under the World Government are actually much better than before..."

Belo Betty glanced at the Sabaody Archipelago and also said in a low voice: "Unlike the World Government's original brutal ruling policy, Uchiha Feiyu's won't push people to the limit. Occasionally, when encountering natural disasters, he will even provide relief."

"But... under this guy's rule, ordinary people are limited to just not starving to death; they can't see a glimmer of hope at all!"

The high-level members of the Revolutionary Army have not studied political textbooks, so they are unaware that Uchiha Feiyu's current political system is gradually approaching a dystopian rule similar to that of a "final owner" or a "totalitarian."

So-called dystopia does not refer to a slave society of total exploitation; on the contrary, it is an ideal society that appears fair, orderly, and free of poverty and strife on the surface.

However, the channels for upward mobility are completely blocked. Aside from the totalitarians and the upper echelons, ordinary people have no possibility of advancement other than working and waiting for death. At the same time, the upper class controls decisive military force, so even if the lower-class civilians are in an uproar, there is absolutely no possibility of resistance.

This kind of society, which sees no hope, is dead and stagnant, and serves entirely for the superstructure, is what can be considered a true dystopia.

However, although this group of Revolutionary Army members doesn't know much about political systems, years of experience in resistance have made them vaguely feel what kind of terrifying society Uchiha Feiyu's rule will be once it takes shape.

This is precisely why, even though the lives of the civilians have improved, the Revolutionary Army is resisting even more fiercely. The lower levels are muddled about this, but the higher levels truly feel immense pressure. Departing from the Sabaody Archipelago, they arrived at the bottom of the Red Line via the newly built Sea Train, and then boarded an elevator—compared to the original "human-powered" elevators of Mary Geoise, the elevators that fully utilize mechanical power far exceed them in speed, stability, and load-bearing capacity.

In just a few minutes, the elevator crossed the 4,000-meter height and arrived at the top of the Red Line.

From afar, the group saw Mary Geoise. The city was still as bright and beautiful as before, it was just that the various facilities that originally used slaves for design had now all been changed to mechanical power. From the surface, there was no difference from before.

"Strange... why do I always feel that this city is a bit wrong?"

Sabo muttered, frowning slightly. Using just his eyes, he didn't feel anything, but when counting his keen Observation Haki, he always felt that the city before him gave him an incomparably dangerous, terrifying, and incomparably dark and profound feeling.

Although the original Mary Geoise was full of wronged souls and resentment, due to the laws of the One Piece World, nothing was manifested, so naturally, it wouldn't make people have any special feelings.

But after Uchiha Feiyu's Array design, and placing the entrances to the Nether Bone Banner and the Pure Land here—these are things that can truly affect reality—the originally intangible and traceless resentment naturally transformed into a kind of dark and sinister energy. Therefore, some keen powerhouses can indeed feel that something is wrong with the city of Mary Geoise.

"I always feel that the city before us is like some kind of beast that will devour everything... and we are walking right into its mouth."

Koala shivered slightly and gave Sabo a look of annoyance: "Alright, Sabo! Everyone is already nervous enough; who doesn't know that the Mary Geoise before us is a den of tigers and a lair of wolves!"

Sabo scratched his head and opened his mouth:

"No... I mean... oh, anyway, it just feels very different!"

"Alright, your feeling that something is wrong might actually be a good thing! This shows that Uchiha Feiyu's secret might just be hidden in this city."

Belo Betty patted Sabo on the chest, causing Sabo, who was still not used to his female identity, to blush, and then she said with a smile:

"No matter what kind of danger this city has, we have already reached this point, so we definitely cannot back out."

"Hey, what are you few talking about?"

Just at this moment, one of the female team leaders turned her head, looked at the group of Revolutionary Army members, frowned, and asked.

"Ah, nothing, just that we are getting close to Mary Geoise, so we are a bit nervous!"

Belo Betty hurriedly spoke up. These leading beauties were all Uchiha Feiyu's subordinates, with strength at least at the level of a Marine Vice Admiral. There was one on each ship, and there were five or six of them in total. They also possessed Two-Color Haki and had very keen perception, so she didn't dare to arouse these people's suspicions.

Fortunately, that woman only took a glance and didn't pay much attention to these women. In the past, at the beginning, there were plenty of beauty spies sent by the countries under the World Government, and even she herself was one of them. In the end, didn't she still become the master's loyal dog? It wasn't that she hadn't suspected the behavior of these few, but she knew that everything they did was just futile. Once they entered the city, they would naturally have their minds twisted by the Array surrounding the entire city and eventually become loyal dogs just like her.

"Alright, let's go now!"

The leading beauty shook her head, didn't pay much attention to them, and led the group of uneasy women behind her toward Mary Geoise.

However, they did not step directly into the gates of Mary Geoise, but stopped at a small town at the entrance of Mary Geoise: "Wait here for a period of time first, I will teach you some rules, and in a few days, you can go to Mary Geoise."

The group of beauties who had been offered up from various countries didn't feel too surprised and quickly accepted this request.

Mary Geoise had always been called the Holy Land in the One Piece World, and that bunch of Celestial Dragons were a difficult group to serve; although all the Celestial Dragons were dead now, wasn't Uchiha Feiyu also recognized by the World Government as a Celestial Dragon? It would be good to learn the rules properly, so as to avoid being beaten to death for committing some taboo later on. Many of the beauties even breathed a huge sigh of relief upon knowing they did not need to enter Mary Geoise immediately.

The six members of the Revolutionary Army looked at each other, and Inazuma was the first to speak: "Be careful, if there is any method to control others, implementing it at this stage is undoubtedly the easiest!"

"Understood, Inazuma!"

"Rest assured, we will remain on guard the whole time!"

"Actually, this is also a good thing. If we can discover the secret outside of Mary Geoise, then it will be easier for us to retreat!"

Things having reached this point, the group from the Revolutionary Army could naturally only accept it and entered the small town.

The facilities in the small town were very complete; the cafeteria, lodging, and clothing were all free, and there were even several parks and playgrounds available for them to enjoy. At the very least, spending a few days here would absolutely not make anyone feel bored or stifled.

The beauties who had just entered the small town were all very satisfied; not to mention how pleasantly surprised they were, at the very least, the setup here was already very sincere.

Moreover, for some reason, a very relaxed atmosphere permeated the small town. All the beauties who entered felt very happy just by staying in the town, as if their entire beings had completely relaxed.

If these ordinary women breathed a sigh of relief, then the six-member group of the Revolutionary Army were each relaxed on the surface, but their eyes were filled with vigilance, frequently scanning the entire town with the corners of their eyes, wanting to see what exactly was different about the town.

However, after looking around, it was just an ordinary small town. Except for Sabo, whose Observation Haki was the most acute and who still felt somewhat uneasy, the other Revolutionary Army members had already slowly set their minds at ease.
