From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 66 Strength is the Foundation

West Sea, Ohara.

Kevin, who had been here just two weeks ago, came back again, but he didn't show any signs of familiarity.

The aroma of tea filled the air at a local market town.

Spandane clumsily brewed the tea: "I've always thought this stuff doesn't taste as good as alcohol, but the higher-ups seem to like it, and it's expensive, so it's easy to cater to their tastes."

"I made extra when I gave you a gift last time. See if you like them. If you do, you can take them all with you in a bit."

Kevin poured half a cup of tea, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

He smacked his lips and shook his head: "Looks like we have the same taste. This stuff isn't as satisfying as alcohol."

The two chatted for a while, and eventually the topic turned to the previous operations.

"How was your time at the youth training camp? You got promoted two ranks right after you came out, becoming a colonel at headquarters. I heard you even earned the nickname 'monster'?"

Spandam winked: "It was because of this title that I was able to help you smooth things over. In the Navy, whether it's the Fleet Admiral or the Admiral, strength is a necessary condition."

"Most of the others only got promoted one level. Also, since you're with me on this mission, you can get promoted another level."

Kevin handed over a slip of paper with a location on it, all smiles.

Spandam on the other side simply took it and pocketed it; a single slip of paper represented a box of treasure—the bargaining chip in their transaction.

"Are the scholars on this island really that valuable?"

Kevin chuckled: "To actually get the CP to openly create a situation requiring the Navy's cooperation, and for someone like me who was just promoted to Colonel, is there any way I can advance further?"

Spandam hesitated briefly.

However, considering that the person in front of him was an old friend, and that their relationship needed to be strengthened in the future.

After all, the name "monster" spread after the youth training camp, and his future value soared.

The golden Den Den Mushi that Sengoku obtained and could activate the Buster Call was actually controlled by a Marine Admiral.

The three admirals that the World Government will soon select, the Navy's top combat force, were once monsters from the youth training camp, and were the three before Kevin.

Thinking of this, Spandam's voice softened considerably: "Those scholars are touching a taboo. The century of emptiness in the world eight hundred years ago holds the secrets of ancient weapons. And the power of those ancient weapons will destroy this world."

Kevin feigned shock, but then quickly added, "A weapon that can destroy the world? How is that possible?"

Spandane choked on his words: "That's what they say, anyway. But you need to remember, it's a taboo that they absolutely forbid, for neither you nor I."

Kevin's expression turned serious: "Understood."

Spandam breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the reply, then said, "The investigation over the past few days is over. Those scholars are basically ordinary people. CP9 alone would have been enough, but the higher-ups still ordered the Buster Call."

"You know about the Buster Call, right? Five lieutenant generals and artillery fire that destroyed the entire island, and when all of this begins is up to me."

Overjoyed, Spandian grabbed Kevin's shoulder: "Once the operation begins, I'll have my men cooperate with you to arrest a bunch of people. When we get back, I'll write a report and highlight the key points for you."

"As for those navy men, let them fire their cannons outside. How it's written in the final version is up to me."

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Warships from the Navy Headquarters were approaching Ohara, and Spandam had begun its operations.

CP9 agents began sealing off all ports, while another group headed directly for the Tree of Omniscience.

Soon, all the defenseless scholars were arrested and gathered in front of the Tree of Omniscience.

Gunshots echoed throughout Ohara. Ordinary people ran around but were blocked and eventually boarded a ship at an abandoned port.

This scene nearly drove Spandam insane. He immediately pressed the button on his golden Den Den Mushi, attempting to have the surrounding navy blow up the ship.

Nobody knows if there are any scholars involved. Although the investigation results suggest there probably aren't, he will be held accountable if problems arise later.

however……

"Bru... Bru... Bru!"

The Golden Den Den Mushi just died.

"Clap clap clap".

Spandam kept slapping the Den Den Mushi, but the already cold Den Den Mushi was no longer of any use.

"What kind of garbage is this? It died at the crucial moment, it died!"

Kevin quickly walked over and whispered, "How could you say something like this out loud? Answer the call right away."

"Um?"

After gaining a clear understanding of his situation, Spandam quickly realized his predicament.

He glanced at his subordinates not far away, and after exchanging glances, they all looked away.

next second.

"Bulubulu...Bulubulu..."

Spandam quickly issued the order to begin the Buster Call upon the already dead Den Den Mushi and ordered the Navy to bombard the Scholars' ships.

After giving the notification, Spandam hung up. He thought for a moment, then tossed the Den Den Mushi behind him.

Then he rammed into a scholar who was looking down.

"You bastard! You actually tried to steal it?! Luckily, I've already issued the order, so you can all just wait to die!"

"Do you know about the Buster Call? This island will soon be ruins, and you will all die here!"

Dr. Clover slowly stood up and walked out from the crowd.

Along with him came all the scholars of Ohara who followed him.

"The Buster Call? So they're afraid."

"Huh? Scared? Scared that you'll die too quickly?"

Spandane arrogantly pointed his gun at the old man: "At your age, are you still dreaming? You'll all die soon, and this island will be destroyed! Understand?!"

The old man pushed aside the gun that was aimed at his forehead.

The scholars behind him also glared angrily at Spandain.

"History is the property of the entire world; no one can cover it up!"

"We did nothing wrong! And your master, you lackeys, is afraid!"

……

"Bang!"

A lead bullet was fired, piercing a scholar's heart and causing him to fall to the ground.

His companions helped him up, but the blood in his chest continued to flow uncontrollably, and he soon went still.

One of the CP captains grinned at the group: "If you make a mistake, you have to accept the punishment. The principle is that no matter what, you must recognize whether your strength is sufficient."

Dr. Clover sighed as he looked at the scholar who had lost his life, then turned around and said, "All possibilities must be built on the foundation of power. I see."

"I need to speak with the Five Elders!"
