Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 408 No matter how bleak the future may be, it can't be worse than this world where life is worse than death!

Above the golden ark's proverbs.

The revolutionary leader, Monkey D. Dragon, arrived here, from where he could overlook the entire Apayado Hunting Grounds and see Sabo rushing towards the hunting grounds.

In such a situation, it would be inappropriate to act rashly.

However, Dragon didn't have time to stop Sabo, because he had already appeared on the Konoha Pirates' ship, and his gaze could only be fixed on a group of Konoha Pirates.

These pirates didn't look like vicious villains. In fact, the one who looked the most evil was a man with snake-like eyes. I think his bounty poster said he was named Orochimaru.

certainly…

It's only what it looks like.

This ocean is indeed judged by appearance, but if we're really only talking about looks, Monkey D. Dragon looks even more ferocious than Orochimaru.

"I've long admired your reputation, everyone."

Monkey D. Dragon, wearing a hooded blue robe, removed the hood to reveal a fierce, tattooed face: "I am Monkey D. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army. I met him once in Loguetown..."

Monkey D. Dragon had met the Konoha Pirates once in Loguetown, but at that time he had no idea that this small pirate crew could cause such a commotion…

"I'd like to talk to you all about..."

"The matter of joining forces to overthrow the Celestial Dragons..."

A smile appeared on the dragon's face, as if he wanted to appear more gentle, but the smile only made his face look more ferocious.

"..."

The Konoha Pirates fell silent.

This guy's appearance...

He looks more like a schemer!

"snort…"

Madara Uchiha was immediately displeased and stood up abruptly: "A schemer, plotting and scheming, trying to outmaneuver us?"

"Mr. Madara, calm down."

Sasori of the Red Sand stopped Madara Uchiha's actions and stepped forward, saying, "I've heard of your name, Monkey D. Dragon, the most dangerous man in the world..."

Dragon chuckled and shook his head, saying, "This title should now belong to you all under the World Government, after all, you just killed three of the Five Elders today..."

Compared to the revolutionary army he founded…

This group of pirates poses an even greater threat to the World Government!

Because the Revolutionary Army only wanted to propose a direct confrontation with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, the Konoha Pirates had already done just that, and even achieved quite a few fruitful results!

The fact that they killed three of the Five Elders today alone is something the Revolutionary Army couldn't achieve in over a decade. This pirate crew has truly taken down quite a few Celestial Dragons...

"but…"

"The Celestial Dragons' trump cards are not as simple as the Five Elders..."

Monkey D. Dragon's expression turned serious, and he solemnly advised, "The Celestial Dragons will surely have even bigger conspiracies against you all. They have ruled the world for eight hundred years..."

"snort…"

Madara Uchiha remained unimpressed.

conspiracy?

What other conspiracy could there be?

Is there anyone in this world who knows better than them how to orchestrate a conspiracy? Today's Skypiea incident is a massive conspiracy!

"Mr. Ban."

Sasori of the Red Sand gestured for Madara Uchiha to calm down, then looked at Dragon again: "But you should understand that only those of equal strength can become allies, right?"

"..."

The dragon clenched its fist.

at this point…

It was something he couldn't question.

The Konoha Pirates are widely recognized as the strongest pirate crew on the seas, even more terrifying than any pirate crew throughout history, and weaker than any other force...

Even the world government at its zenith pales in comparison to them.

In comparison…

The revolutionary army's strength was indeed not very good.

Despite being a formidable organization on the high seas, and even once putting the World Government on its guard, the Revolutionary Army ultimately fell short.

"The Revolutionary Army..."

Dragon narrowed his eyes, pondering whether he should leak some information about the Revolutionary Army, to show this pirate crew that they were not so weak as to be completely useless.

Yes…

The revolutionary army's fighting strength was inferior to theirs...

However, the Revolutionary Army was able to gather a large number of ordinary people from all over the world, completely overthrow the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. In terms of the number of troops in the future, they are enough to rival the military power of the World Government!

"Alright, that's settled then."

Sasori ignored Dragon's meaning and simply waved his hand casually: "Konoha doesn't need any allies. We won't care what you want to do. If you want to join us in overthrowing the Celestial Dragons, then join our ranks..."

"..."

Monkey D. Dragon turned to leave.

after all…

The revolutionary army is not a pirate army.

The Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow the World Government and rebuild a world of equality, not to become pawns of a group of pirates...

"Just a friendly reminder..."

"World governments have rewritten a lot of history."

Sasori of the Red Sand had no intention of allying with the dragon, but he wouldn't mind leaving behind a bait: "Only the history of Alabasta offers a glimpse into the past..."

"Monkey D. Dragon".

What you want to do will not succeed.

"As long as extraordinary powers exist in this world, a world where everyone is equal can never be realized. The strong will not be willing to follow their own desires and live as equals with mortals. The strong will only want to be like the legendary gods, freely above the ordinary people around them..."

"..."

A hint of hesitation appeared on the dragon's face.

"Is that so?"

A smile returned to the man's lips, a smile radiating confidence: "Then I will dedicate the rest of my life to this struggle, until I overthrow all the gods who seek to rise above mortals..."

"but…"

"Ordinary people aspire to become gods..."

Sasori shook his head again, a hint of regret appearing in his mechanical, lifeless eyes: "Just like the Celestial Dragons and Princess Kaguya back then, the Celestial Dragons were just mortals in front of Princess Kaguya. They joined forces with the liberators to seal Princess Kaguya and seized the position of god. And the Celestial Dragons, who usurped the divine position, acted a thousand times more cruelly than Princess Kaguya..."

"The brave..."

"One day he will become the new Demon King."

"..."

Monkey D. Dragon hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer, though he understood perfectly what Sasori meant.

This exchange…

The dragon felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.

Because he hasn't even managed to overthrow the Celestial Dragons yet, the Konoha Pirates are already reminding him of what will happen after that...

"I understand what you mean."

Monkey D. Dragon pulled his hood up, concealing his expression beneath it: "For me, all that is too far off. What I need to do first is overthrow this living hell..."

Monkey D. Dragon's voice came from inside the hood: "Perhaps in the future I will be criticized for a mistake, but we all know that no matter how bad the new world becomes, it can't be worse than the world now..."

"Where will the future lead...?"

"None of these things matter to me."

"It doesn't matter if I die, my thoughts will remain."

Monkey D. Dragon turned and walked to the edge of the Golden Ark. He stopped by the golden railing, his voice echoing across the ark: "As long as my thoughts exist in this world, there will always be people who realize they should do something when the world decays. They will follow in my footsteps, one after another. Perhaps I will never see it, but to build a new world where everyone is equal, those who follow will one day accomplish all of this in this world..."

"The revolutionary army must be short of money, right?"

Sasori opened his palm and continued softly, "This island was once the ruins of the golden city of Shandora. There is still a lot of gold on the island... Apart from a batch that was taken by a group of newcomers called the Straw Hat Pirates, you can take the rest of the gold."

"..."

Monkey D. Dragon's lips twitched.

His own son…

Did they take away the revolutionary army's military funds?

This trip to the Sky Island wasn't entirely fruitless. The Revolutionary Army was truly destitute, lacking even basic supplies. The Revolutionary Army was now comprised entirely of idealists who voluntarily joined to change the world.

Thank you.

Monkey D. Dragon nodded deeply, understanding the Konoha Pirates' attitude, and proactively provided some information: "The World Government has ordered Vegapunk, the world's best scientist, to revive the technology of the ancient kingdoms, which may pose a threat to you..."

"As far as I know..."

"Vegapunk once wanted a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, to be his experimental subject, perhaps in order to cultivate some kind of powerful weapon..."

"In the past..."

"There has been no trace of the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

Unfortunately…

"This time, the Navy has acquired a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Rumble-Rumble Fruit user will likely be sent to Vegapunk's side to develop a terrifying weapon specifically for you..."

"..."

The members of the Konoha Pirates fell silent.

this moment…

They didn't know what expression to wear...

If the World Government really considers Kagura Akihara, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as an indispensable researcher for some kind of weapon, then one can only hope their hearts are a little stronger...

Goodbye, everyone.

Monkey D. Dragon waved his hand, smiled, and leaped down from the sky, riding the gale towards the earth, leaving only his promise on the Golden Ark: "If there are any intelligence threats against you in the future, I will send someone to inform you..."

No matter what...

The Konoha Pirates can be considered to have supported the Revolutionary Army's work.

Although the Konoha Pirates were merely using the opportunity to give away the gold from Skypiea to the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army still felt indebted to them.

After Monkey D. Dragon left.

"Is the world's top scientist named Vegapunk?"

Orochimaru, recalling Dragon's words, looked at Sasori of the Red Sand and couldn't help but ask with a grin, "It seems we'll have a chance to meet one of the world's top scientists..."

"Technological exchange is the key to promoting scientific and technological progress."

Sasori's voice remained mechanical as he continued softly, "We should soon have the opportunity to communicate with the world's top scientists..."

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

Orochimaru laughed. He had always been very curious about Vegapunk, the world's most famous scientist, and wanted to know how far their scientific understanding could advance if they could communicate with him…

"interesting…"

Tobirama Senju also became interested.

Orochimaru possessed basic science, Tobirama Senju possessed forbidden science, and Sasori of the Red Sand possessed mechanics, representing the pinnacle of ninja technology…

only…

They don't yet understand the true level of technology in this world.

exactly…

Vegapunk represents the pinnacle of technology in this ocean.

When scientists from two different worlds collide and exchange ideas, they are bound to create brilliant insights that might even revolutionize human imagination...

"I won't let you down."

Sasori's voice echoed with Kagura Akihara's will: "Perhaps the White Zetsu army that we've always wanted to create, capable of accommodating multiple Devil Fruit abilities, will eventually fall to Vegapunk..."

"snort…"

As usual, Madara Uchiha wasn't interested in these scientific studies. He flexed his wrists and said, "Isn't it about time I can participate in the hunting games?"

"Half a day left."

Tobirama Senju glanced at Madara Uchiha and said coldly, "The people in the hunting grounds are strong enough to let you enjoy a bit of combat..."

"Alright, then you can prepare to wrap things up in another half day!"

Sasori glanced at the Conqueror's Haki surging within the forest and said coldly, "Don't mention my secrets during this time, lest the slaves in the cabin find out..."

"That guy..."

"It's still somewhat useful."

"Speaking of which..."

Hashirama Senju activated his Observation Haki to sense the situation and said softly, "In a month, the Celestial Dragons inside should have been almost all killed, right?"

"That woman named Boa Hancock killed the most..."

Orochimaru licked his lips: "However, that woman turned all the Celestial Dragons she killed into stones and kicked them to pieces. She didn't collect any Celestial Dragon identity chips, which violated our rules, so she probably won't get the prize..."

"The current number one..."

Tobirama Senju frowned. He had been monitoring everything in the hunting grounds: "It seems to be called Buggy the Clown. That guy has actually held on until now..."

"I'm about to give up..."

Orochimaru looked up at the dragon soaring into the air from the forest, unable to suppress his desire any longer: "Because that guy named Kaido is about to make his move... What an enviable body... a Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a dragon... and such powerful Conqueror's Haki..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A cloud of lightning dragged Charlotte Linlin's body into the air!

Orochimaru looked at Charlotte Linlin's plump body and subconsciously licked his lips: "That woman's abilities are not bad either... Conqueror's Haki... the Soul-Soul Fruit ability... which can just replenish the soul that will be fragile after reincarnation."

"You really don't hold back at all..."

Sasori of the Red Sand gave Orochimaru a disdainful look.

"After all, their strength is indeed quite good."

Orochimaru smiled as he watched Charlotte Linlin and Kaido chasing the Celestial Dragons, pointing out their shortcomings: "Unfortunately, they're too old, and not handsome enough, which doesn't quite meet my requirements..."

"..."

Tobirama Senju's eye twitched.

This guy…

They actually picked one here?

I checked...

The artificial human fruit was missing information about the green bloodline of King's race...

Fortunately, Lord Kaido is on Skypiea...

That race is also called the Someriya race, and the bear's race is also called the Someriya race. They are two different races, one that flies in the sky and the other that flies on the ground. Both can be used to make artificial human weapons. The bear's bloodline genes can be used to create Pacifistas, and Jhin's racial genes can be used to create an upgraded version of the Pacifista, the Seraph...

So what exactly does Lia mean?
