If someone were to pull out the bounty poster at this moment and compare it with this person, they would surely be shocked to recognize his true identity.
This person was recognized by the World Government as the world's most heinous criminal and was designated as the World Government's number one criminal.
He was none other than Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Behind the dragon, a girl raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, stuck out her tongue, and felt a sudden dryness in her mouth.
"Honestly, why did Yang Ming have to choose a place like this to meet?"
The girl had short, orange-yellow hair that reached her ears, and her shapely figure was concealed by a dark robe. Only her bright, sparkling eyes stood out, revealing a hint of intelligence.
Since their parting in Water Seven, Kera had not seen Yang Ming for a long time. At this time, at Yang Ming's invitation, he came with a group of revolutionary army cadres to secretly discuss confidential matters.
"The most dangerous place is also the safest place."
Long raised his head, his deep black eyes gleaming with wisdom, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, clearly showing his approval of Yang Ming.
"No one would have thought that Punk Hazard Island, which is highly valued by the World Government, would one day be set on by our Revolutionary Army."
"Furthermore, no one could have imagined that the renowned Shura General was actually an ally of our revolutionary army."
Kerla once traveled to Water Seven as a representative of the Revolutionary Army to make contact with Yang Ming.
Subsequently, at Yang Ming's request, Long secretly visited Water City and secretly signed an alliance agreement with Yang Ming.
The alliance stipulated that the revolutionary army must do its utmost to assist Yang Ming in becoming a naval admiral.
In fact, the dragon did as agreed.
How was Yang Ming able to accomplish what others could not during his year as Governor of the Western Sea?
How did he manage to integrate the West Sea Navy and the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Kingdom in just one year, and train a governor-general who was feared by all, and defeat those mafia, pirates, and bandits in a rout?
All of this was naturally achieved with the secret assistance of the revolutionary army.
You see, pirates have ships and can go wherever they want, but they never stay in one place for a long time. It's easy to kill a pirate, but it's very difficult to kill a large number of pirates.
Similarly, the Mafia can disguise themselves very well in their daily lives, just like ordinary people. If they don't expose themselves, it's difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people, which can easily lead to misjudgment and wrongful killing.
The revolutionary army has established bases in various countries in the Western Sea. Although they are small in number and weak in strength, they are no less capable than CP9 in terms of intelligence gathering. Moreover, they have been rooted in the region for many years and are extremely familiar with the local situation. They just lack an opportunity.
Yang Ming's arrival in Xihai did not require long-term intelligence gathering; he only needed to obtain ready-made intelligence from the revolutionary army to sweep through the enemy lines and achieve an unprecedented feat.
Of course, Yang Ming's contact with the revolutionary army was extremely secretive. Even among his many generals, only a handful of his confidants knew about it, so it was not described in detail in the previous text.
The revolutionary army cadres had great faith in Long. After listening to Long's analysis, they were not only convinced, but also secretly surprised by the Shura General they had never met before.
"leader."
A fishman cadre looked up, revealing a simple and honest face.
"Last year, we launched a rebellion in the Kingdom of West Kear on the island of Curegana, but it was stopped by the World Government. As a result, all the local people were secretly executed, and the entire kingdom was reduced to ruins. It is now occupied by Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"The failure of that uprising shows that our revolutionary army is not strong enough. If we ask that General Shura to keep his promise and help us establish a revolutionary base in Alabasta, will it further weaken our forces?"
Haku, though a fish-man, is also a senior officer in the Revolutionary Army. He has a close personal relationship with Jinbe, another of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they share a deep friendship.
Haku had dedicated himself to the revolutionary cause and had many merfolk under his command. He lost his life in the uprising war in the Kingdom of West Kear. Therefore, he had some doubts about contacting Yang Ming today, not that he questioned the dragon's decision.
“Haku, I’m glad you have this idea.”
The dragon continued walking without stopping. After a moment's hesitation, it spoke again:
"Last year's battle was the first truly meaningful shot fired by our revolutionary army."
"Although the truth is buried under the World Government's efforts to cover it up, as long as we keep launching uprisings, we can make more people aware of us, thereby gaining their recognition of our ideals and joining our ranks."
Yang Ming once said, "A single spark can start a prairie fire."
"The comrades did not die in vain. Their deaths will awaken those numb people who have long lost their fighting spirit, and make them realize that only by holding guns in their hands can they rise from slavery and sing songs of triumph!"
Long's words not only enlightened Haku, but also inspired the other cadres.
The dragon's eyes were deep, and there was something he didn't say.
Since the establishment of the World Government, eight hundred years have passed. Although the World Government has become rotten to the core, the dead camel, Bimad, still possesses overwhelming power. To overthrow such a formidable opponent, it is necessary to launch a continuous offensive against it and weaken the World Government's strength bit by bit.
And this will require many people to die!
"Look over there!"
Just then, Kera's words broke the slightly heavy atmosphere.
Everyone looked up in unison, following the direction Kera was pointing.
Ten Thousand Pillars Peak, Thousand Pillars Cliff.
The volcanic rock columns, as if carved by a knife and axe, form a magnificent and spectacular landscape near the crater.
On a remarkably thick volcanic rock pillar, a tall and imposing figure sat cross-legged. With each breath Yang Ming took, a wondrous spectacle of flames, lightning, and frost gradually materialized around him, as if forming an elemental forbidden zone isolated from the outside world.
Blazing flames engulf his body, lightning tempers his form, and frost covers his shoulders.
The young general was like a master of the elements, leaving a deep impression.
"Is he the newly appointed Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Yang Ming, who is known as the Asura?"
Revolutionary Army cadres, including Haku, had never seen Yang Ming in person. Now they finally got to see him in person. His control over the elements was even more exaggerated than the rumors suggested, making people wonder if he was still human. How could he master three completely different, even diametrically opposed, elemental powers?
Among the group of revolutionary army cadres, there was a burly man who was extremely silent. He did not utter a word the whole way, but just watched and listened quietly.
The burly man was tall and strong, wearing a trapezoidal white round hat with scattered brown spots and two cute bear ears, making him look like a large human panda, which added to his approachable charm.
Bartholomew Big Bear lifted his hood, revealing a head of black, curly wool hair and a PX-0 tattoo on his neck. He adjusted his frameless glasses and, with the scrutinizing gaze of an old father, looked Yang Ming up and down before a hint of satisfaction flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Perhaps it was Bartholomew Kuma's gaze that was too intense, or perhaps it was sensing the arrival of the Revolutionary Army, but Yang Ming slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and in a short time, he took in everyone.
"call!"
Yang Ming exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly stood up, and his stiff bones made a series of crackling sounds like popping beans.
Leaping down from the volcanic rock pillar, Yang Minglong strode up to the dragon and had a historic meeting with the revolutionary leader.
"Where there are leaves dancing in the air, fire will burn."
"The shadow of fire will illuminate the world, and the leaves will sprout anew. Humanity's true power is revealed when it wants to protect its most precious people."
Are you ready to usher in a new era?
Chapter 214 No Regrets Once a Move is Made, the Hunt for the Beasts Pirates Begins
The rocky tower stands on a sheer cliff, thousands of feet high and rugged.
From this crater area, you can get a commanding view of half of Punk Hazard Island.
"Where there are leaves dancing in the air, fire will burn."
The revolutionary army cadres, including Long, murmured Yang Ming's words repeatedly, their eyes gradually shining.
Those revolutionary army cadres who had never met Yang Ming originally harbored many resentments towards him because of his status as the newly appointed admiral of the Navy Headquarters. However, as they pondered his words, they suddenly realized how profound they were and how similar they were to the ideals of their revolutionary army!
In an instant, his sense of identification with Yang Ming soared.
If this were an online game, you might see a series of "+1 favorability rating" messages appearing above everyone's heads.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Naruto. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"
Yang Ming's attention was drawn to the lottery wheel that was out of sight of others.
Summoned characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi...
Ninjutsu/Taijutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Water Dragon Technique, Dark Travel Technique...
Limitations of Blood Succession: Ice Escape, Magnetic Escape, Melt Escape, Explosion Escape...
[Ice Release]: Bloodline Limit, allows control over ice.
Yang Ming gestured for them to proceed, then casually took out a stack of binoculars from his spatial ring and handed them to everyone.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.
Long stared intently at the spatial ring on Yang Ming's hand, his heart churning with turmoil, thinking to himself:
"What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?"
Unaware of what was going on, the crowd, led by Yang Ming, gathered around the binoculars and looked into the distance.
On a vast, open plain, a group of soldiers were moving swiftly.
If they were just ordinary naval soldiers, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The problem is that these naval soldiers are all equipped with exoskeletons. The heavy iron armor tightly wraps around their bodies, making them look like large iron lumps with considerable weight.
Beneath the feet of these soldiers were jet-powered shells from the Sky Island, which would have allowed them to perform Moonwalk. However, due to the excessive weight of the Mark 1's steel armor, they could only barely move as usual and could not ascend into the air.
Even so, the steel armor of the Mark I provided these naval soldiers with considerable defensive capabilities, enough to withstand ordinary solid bullets.
Opposite the naval soldiers was a group of prisoners transferred from a deep-sea prison.
"Go!"
"If you can defeat these soldiers, you will be free!"
After Tina and the others removed their shackles, the prisoners' morale soared, and they charged toward the soldiers with ill intent.
Since they were living a life worse than death in the deep-sea prison anyway, and even their corpses and souls would become materials for the Philosopher's Stone after death, they might as well fight it out here and maybe they could win a glimmer of hope.
The prisoners, grinning maliciously, rushed towards the soldiers, their fists raining down on the steel armor, producing a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.
These prisoners possess the strength to tear apart a fat ox with their bare hands; if it were an ordinary person, they would be no match for them.
However, when their proud fists landed on the steel armor, not even a dent was left.
The soldiers snapped out of their daze and immediately swung their heavy arms, lashing out with their whips at the nearby prisoners.
Like a battering ram, the blow twisted and deformed the body of the weaker prisoner, sending him flying backward at an angle.
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
"This is……"
Watching the naval soldiers swiftly and decisively execute the prisoners on the spot, Long was shocked, but he couldn't help but develop a strong interest in the steel armor of the Mark 1.
Dragon once held an important position in the Navy Headquarters and knew the strength of the soldiers in the Navy very well. He naturally understood that if those soldiers were to fight one-on-one, they might not be a match for those vicious prisoners.
