Chapter 249: The Gold Content of Pure Gold

In the anime, after the Blackbeard Pirate crew member Jass infiltrated and leaked the location of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, the headquarters came under attack.

To avoid major losses, the Revolutionary Army voluntarily evacuated Baltigo and relocated to the Kamabakka Kingdom.

It is the legendary Okama Island.

At this current point in time, the White Land Island of Baltigo, located in the first half of the Grand Line, is the true location of the Revolutionary Army's main base.

Inside the large conference room within the central building complex of the island.

Thinking of the Revolutionary Army currently possessing: Red Baron Baroque, Old Man San-gomahabayi, Okama King Ivankov, East Army Captain Crow...

the smile on Dragon's face never faded.

It truly wasn't easy; the Revolutionary Army camp has finally reached a day where talent abounds. What bitter days they lived through before.

Dragon finally understood Saint Saint Saiwen's sense of gratification.

Doing nothing all day, just watching this group of top-tier officers, makes one's mood improve.

"Comrades, welcome San-gomahabayi Old Man and Red Baron Baroque Ledfield to the Revolutionary Army family."

Clap clap clap clap~ The applause surged like a tide.

Especially Ivankov, whose eyes burned with fiery heat as he looked at Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Old Man, you are this." Ivankov gave a thumbs up: "An unparalleled tough guy!"

The feat of breaking into Impel Down alone to assist the Red Baron in escaping prison was something Ivankov wouldn't dare to imagine, yet Old Man succeeded in doing it.

Truly an unparalleled tough guy.

I must try it myself if I get the chance in the future.

"Average, average." Saint Saint Saiwen stood up and smiled.

"Comrades, I am San-gomahabayi Old Man, and I am very happy to have finally found the organization."

When Saint Saint Saiwen was captain of the Morning Star Crew, he had to consider influences from all sides,

especially now that the family is large and the business is grand, and he still has to engage in a frantic tug-of-war with the old man Imu to win more time to develop.

Joining the Revolutionary Army is different; now Saint Saint Saiwen only needs to deal with the World Government.

He can deal with them whenever he wants, and wherever he wants.

Seeing Saint Saint Saiwen sit down, the Red Baron stood up.

"Just call me Red Baron. I have only one requirement for joining the Revolutionary Army: leave Saint Saturn to me."

Having successfully escaped Impel Down, the Red Baron learned from Saint Saint Saiwen that the initiator of the Pacifista Project was none other than Saint Saturn of the Five Elders.

This instantly gave the Red Baron a lost life goal: to kill Saint Saturn.

Also after successfully escaping prison, the Red Baron thought Saint Saint Saiwen would invite him onto the ship,

and indeed, an invitation was extended.

However, instead of returning directly to the ship, they joined the Revolutionary Army together.

At first, the Red Baron was somewhat resistant; he only agreed to the invitation to board the ship to repay the debt of his life being saved.

However, upon hearing that the Revolutionary Army's goal was to overthrow the World Government, that the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon was Koby's son, and that Saint Saint Saiwen produced a pure gold ring...

the Red Baron finally agreed to the plan.

The Red Baron admired very few people in his life; among pirates, only Roger and Whitebeard.

Among the Marines, only Koby.

One would think Koby's son wouldn't be too bad either.

And since the Revolutionary Army intends to overthrow the World Government, one day they will surely strike at Mary Geoise; at that time, I must personally execute Saint Saturn.

This damn thing actually dared to covet my body!

I must kill him completely.

After the Red Baron sat down again, Dragon continued speaking.

"Comrades, our recent efforts have not been in vain; in the areas where the Revolutionary Army has been active, the revolutionary tide has already taken deep root in people's hearts."

"Of course, it has also drawn the World Government's attention."

Dragon took out several wanted posters.

【Doraga, Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Army, a most vicious criminal, bounty 1.2 billion...】

【The High and Mighty Red: Baroque Ledfield, bounty 5 billion...】

【Old Man: San-gomahabayi, Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, bounty 1.2 billion...】

【Emporio Ivankov, Commander of the Grand Line Army, bounty 50.5 million...】

After distributing the wanted posters to the various officers, Dragon made arrangements for future actions.

"Comrades."

"What is revolution? Change from the bottom up is called revolution. What is reform? Change from the top down is called reform.

Which is harder, revolution or reform?

Reform will disturb the cakes and interests of the upper class; its difficulty is harder than touching the soul.

Therefore, we need revolution.

But we still need more time to develop and grow. For the next period, we will disperse into small units and spread the revolutionary tide to every corner of the sea."

The Revolutionary Army has recently made too much noise; it is time to lie low for a while and digest recent gains.

"In the future, unless it is a special operation, it will be carried out by the various officers leading the teams."

It was precisely because of the addition of Old Man and the Red Baron that Dragon made such an arrangement.

In fact, Dragon was very curious: how exactly did Old Man persuade the Red Baron to join the Revolutionary Army?

Personally executing Saint Saturn certainly wasn't the main reason; even if it were just the Red Baron alone, as long as he found the right timing, he could still take revenge on Saint Saturn.

Dragon could not figure it out no matter how much he thought; perhaps only the two parties involved know best.

The Red Count sat upright in his seat, his fingers occasionally rubbing the gold ring on his left ring finger.

If the Golden Lion were here, he would surely let out a few mocking laughs: You have this too?!

The grace of saving his life combined with the pure gold ring, both acting together to grant the Red Count maximum personal freedom, was the leverage Saint Saint Saiwen used to bring the Red Count under his command.

Who could refuse immortality?

Especially as the remnants of the old era gradually entered old age, watching their peak era approach its end, they found it even harder to refuse the permanence of that peak.

The gold content of the pure gold ring was still rising.

It was such an overpowered ring, yet Saint Saint Saiwen had consigned it to the trading platform for so many days, and no one had bought it.

This left Saint Saint Saiwen extremely depressed.

Almost at the same time, the one who felt equally extremely depressed was Navy Admiral Sengoku.

The latter half of the Grand Line, the New World.

The former Navy G1 Branch, now the Navy Headquarters at New Marineford, the smoke in the Admiral's office was thick.

Navy Admiral Sengoku sat with a frowning face, holding a Den Den Mushi, receiving a scolding from Saint Saturn.

The cigar was smoked by Akainu, but all the anger was endured by Sengoku.

Being the Navy Admiral was truly frustrating.

After a long while, Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and looked at Akainu, who was smoking a cigar.

"What is the situation with Marshall D. Teach?"

"There was a Fish-Man crew member on the Blackbeard Pirates' ship who jumped into the sea with Blackbeard, abandoning the ship."

Hearing "Fish-Man," Sengoku became even more worried.

Saint Saturn didn't know what had possessed him, demanding the conscription of ten thousand Fish-Man soldiers from the Fish-Man Island Ryugu Kingdom, which scared King Neptune so much he fell ill.

Seeing Akainu light another cigar, Sengoku asked with a furrowed brow.

"Anything else?"

Akainu nodded: "I have a suggestion."

"Speak."

"I think it is very necessary for the Navy to recruit some Fish-Man soldiers to deal with pirates jumping into the sea."

When the words fell, there was a silence that lasted for a long time.

For a moment, Sengoku actually didn't know what to say: Saint Saturn wanted to conscript Fish-Man soldiers, and Sakazuki also wanted to recruit Fish-Man soldiers.

Did you two plan this in advance?

Did you consider Neptune's feelings? He is the King of the Fish-Man Kingdom!

Plucking wool from a single sheep... is that really okay?

"Sakazuki." Sengoku waved his hand.

"I have no objections. If you have time, go and talk to King Neptune."

I'm tired; do whatever you want.
