Chapter 174: Doflamingo: I Cannot Let You Revolutionary Army Leave
"Is that so?"
Dragon revealed a gratified smile, somewhat similar to the look Garp had given him when they first met.
It was mixed with pride.
He stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "I am your father, Monkey D. Dragon, I am the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, and my dream is to overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, to create a dream world where everyone can stand tall."
The voice echoed through the street.
From Colonel Nezumi's Den Den Mushi came Sengoku's angry voice: "Do not continue to bewitch people's hearts; you are the most evil Organization in the world, demons who subvert justice and peace, and you should be wiped out from the long river of history forever."
"The Revolutionary Army, which stirs up the flames of war everywhere, actually calls itself justice?"
"It really is laughable."
The Navy soldiers all showed expressions of disdain.
They were also aware of some specific incidents involving the Revolutionary Army, how they were chased and hidden by the Navy, inciting the public everywhere to resist the Nobles and instigating slaves to smash their countries.
Marshal Sengoku was right; this was a group of evil Organizations that stirred up war.
Some Navy soldiers had even personally participated in battles to suppress rebellions, having comrades and companions killed by bewitched slaves and civilians.
Therefore, their attitude toward the Revolutionary Army was extremely hostile.
"How terrifying."
"Go to hell, Revolutionary Army!"
"The Navy is truly trash, they can't even catch the Revolutionary Army, causing me to live in fear every day."
Behind the Image Den Den Mushi,
Countless eyes revealed disgust and dislike for the Revolutionary Army.
Some of them were Nobles, some were civilians, and others were Pirates and ambitious people who burned, killed, and looted.
The Nobles hated the Revolutionary Army to the bone, fearing that one day while they were sleeping soundly, the slaves incited by the Revolutionary Army would break down their doors, steal all their assets, and destroy their manors.
Civilians were also afraid of the Revolutionary Army; even if they were harmed by Pirates and oppressed by Nobles, they had long since resigned themselves to their fate and did not believe that any Organization could truly change the current situation.
Especially with the Navy and the World Government, who controlled the mainstream media, sparing no effort in their negative propaganda against the Revolutionary Army.
In the eyes of the civilians, the Revolutionary Army was nothing more than a rebellious Organization that wanted to overthrow the World Government.
Pirates and ambitious people were equally disdainful,
They possessed powerful strength and could wantonly enjoy gold, silver, jewelry, and the power of beauty; the Revolutionary Army's childish and ridiculous philosophy could not move them at all.
Especially since they were clear about the powerful strength of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, they did not believe at all that the weak Revolutionary Army could succeed.
"The weak have no right to speak."
Fang Yi looked toward the center of Death Island with great interest.
From the perspective of the original work, the Revolutionary Army seemed like a very powerful Organization, with a Leader, Monkey D. Dragon, who was suspected of being able to control gale winds, with Bartholomew Kuma who infiltrated the World Government to provide information to the Organization, and with various cadres with powerful abilities.
But in the real Pirate World, the Revolutionary Army was just a small Organization that had been established for a few years.
They were surrounded, intercepted, and weakened by the Navy all the way, hiding everywhere, struggling to support themselves by relying on the firm willpower of the Revolutionary Army cadres.
In front of the World Government, whose forces were spread across the Si Hai, they were not even as threatening as the Four Emperors.
The reason they targeted the Revolutionary Army was simply because this philosophy was too lethal to the World Government, and they did not want anyone to vie to imitate it.
Facing these accusations,
The young people who had just become members of the Revolutionary Army showed panic on their faces, but when their eyes turned to the Leader, after seeing the Leader's firm gaze, they seemed to be encouraged, and the panic gradually faded away.
It was not just Dragon, but also the two Revolutionary Army cadres who followed closely by his side.
Even though they had been imprisoned in Tui Jin Cheng for several years and had been away from the Revolutionary Army's base, Baerdige, for a long time, the firmness in their eyes had never faded.
Dragon just stood there expressionlessly.
"The Revolutionary Army?"
Luffy laughed and raised his thumb, saying: "That's amazing!"
He did not understand the Revolutionary Army, and it could not be explained in a few words.
But as long as it did not violate the principles Luffy identified with and did not harm others, any dream was worthy of his respect.
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Dragon did not expect to hear such an answer from his son; he also laughed out loud and said: "Therefore, I will not give the reward at the center of Death Island to anyone, even if you are my son."
This was the truth; he would absolutely not go easy on the matter of competing for the Tower Lord.
Luffy also replied with a firm gaze: "No need, adventure is only interesting if you go all out."
Just at this moment,
A sword aura burning with emerald green flames flew toward the Revolutionary Army, who were preparing to leave.
Dragon reacted quickly, directly raising his arms and condensing a Wind Dragon Claw to block it.
The scorching flame sword aura and the gale wind collided, merging into waves of fire that made the entire street shake.
"Leader of the Revolutionary Army, I am Qiaolakeer Mihuoer; you are strong, you have the qualifications to make me draw my sword."
Mihawk did not like this kind of boring battle,
But if it were a strong person, he would be more interested; the only regret was that Dragon was not a Great Swordsman who used a blade.
"Mihawk?"
Dragon's expression changed slightly.
There was no need to deliberately collect information; no one in the entire ocean was unaware of the news about the World's Greatest Swordsman, and even the Four Emperors Red-Haired had only fought to a draw with him.
Garp and Smoker alone could not stop the Revolutionary Army.
But if Mihawk were added, the consequences would be unpredictable.
What to do?
Dragon felt a bit troubled.
The power of the Wind Dragon is extremely formidable; the Feng Yuansu Moha he released is merely a fraction of it, and if it could be fully unleashed, the predicament before him could be smoothly resolved.
However, wanting to unleash its full power is not something that can be achieved by just shouting with conviction and having a sudden burst of potential.
In this Trial Tower, any method to become stronger cannot be separated from Reward Points.
It is just that,
the Reward Points he currently has remaining are simply not enough to allow him to become stronger by leaps and bounds.
Unless he gathers all the assets of the Revolutionary Army to perform an exchange; if that were to happen, the Revolutionary Army's scope of activity in the Si Hai would have to be minimized for a period of time, prioritizing the collection of funds as their main activity.
Just as Dragon was about to make the exchange,
an arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
"Hehehehe."
Accompanying it was a bullet thread as thin as a strand of hair,
which struck the blade of the Black Blade, emitting a crisp sound.
The Heavenly Yaksha, draped in a pink feather cloak like a flamingo, and also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo, sat on the wall at some unknown moment with his legs crossed.
"Mr. Hawkeye, the Navy's influence is too great; if we leave the Revolutionary Army here, lone wolves like you and me will be used as cannon fodder by the Navy in subsequent hunts."
Doflamingo glanced at the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He had no affection for the Revolutionary Army.
After all, although he had already been expelled from Mary Geoise, the blood of a Celestial Dragon had always flowed through his veins, and this was an unchangeable fact.
And he had always been thinking about being able to become a noble Celestial Dragon once again.
This kind of force that treats the Celestial Dragons as enemies is, in his heart, an existence that must be eliminated.
But not now.
