From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 91 was quite fruitful.

Nighttime, prison space.

As he walked into the passageway, Rodnaz, who had already accepted the prison rules, was like a humble reptile, begging Kevin for forgiveness.

When he was alive, he was terrified by the gruesome state of Summit's corpse. Now, he thought he had come to hell, but he found that even his soul was being controlled by that demon.

The education he received from birth made him see himself as superior, a descendant of gods, different from ordinary people.

Everyone is a lowly commoner, and everyone should serve themselves. The Navy and CP, the World Government's army on the Red Line, are nothing but dogs.

But this understanding was shattered by the sight of Saint Samit's corpse after it had been torn to pieces.

Only when facing this demon did they cease to be aloof, because he didn't care about their bloodline or their Celestial Dragon status.

And now, death is not the end, but merely the beginning.

Outside the cage, Kevin looked at the pleading Rodnaz, his mind replaying the scene from God Valley eighteen years ago.

The public, like prey, even an infant, are marked with points and become targets for hunting.

The baby in swaddling clothes thought it was a new toy when a gun was pressed against its forehead, and giggled as it tried to play with it.

After the gunshot, came the bastard's arrogant laughter. All he cared about was points, and he was willing to shatter a life that had just arrived in this world.

Now, the Celestial Dragon who laughed so wildly eighteen years ago is kneeling in his cage, begging for his forgiveness.

"Rodnaz".

Kevin reached out and removed the mask, revealing his original face.

"Look at this face. Do you really think a survivor from God Valley eighteen years ago would accept your pleas?"

Rodnaz stood there, stunned.

Eighteen years ago, in the Valley of the Gods.

This country with such a unique name is the most special and the most memorable of all the islands destroyed by their school trips.

But what I remember most vividly is the chaos caused by pirates, not how many commoners they killed.

"you……"

Kevin let out a breath: "Although I know you can't possibly remember, I think you should know that this is revenge from the Valley of the Gods before you experience real pain."

Real pain?

Rodnaz collapsed to the ground, then lunged at the cage, pleading incessantly.

But Kevin ignored him.

The sin value of 620,000 would take more than a year to burn.

However, there was an unexpected surprise this time.

Kevin looked at the other cage in the passageway.

The passageway where Celestial Dragons are imprisoned has a very high sin value, and the guy codenamed Chameleon, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user and a CP0 admiral-level fighter belonging to the World Government, is also here.

Sin value: 123,000.

Adding in all other miscellaneous items, and the remaining amount after opening the diamond treasure chests, a year later, the total sin value is currently 1.39 million.

Three Celestial Dragons died in the Sabaody Archipelago, and with Seastone no longer effective against him, hunting anywhere else won't be so easy.

There are many big fish on Mary Geoise, but there are also those whose Observation Haki has been developed to the point of predicting the future, and even the five immortal beings among the power holders, who knows?

Most importantly, the attack on Mary Geoise was a complete declaration of war. If Im of the Flower Realm were to launch a purge, even if he himself were to emerge unscathed, the Revolutionary Army's forces would be wiped out.

Ninety-nine percent of them are ordinary people, and they will even die, which is not the result Kevin wanted.

"The executioner... Kevin?"

Inside the cage? The CP0 members' souls were shaken, their eyes filled with disbelief.

His voice also brought Kevin back to his senses.

With a wave of his hand, black flames enveloped Rodnaz's entire body, abruptly ending his pleas, followed by agonizing cries of pain.

The black flames are a pain that penetrates straight to the soul. Before the sin value is completely absorbed, one cannot faint or collapse; one can only endure this kind of suffering.

Kevin walked toward the cage to the side, ignoring Rodnaz Saint's wails and curses.

Do you know me?

The CP0 guy seemed to realize something: "So you knew from the beginning that Sabaody Archipelago was a trap, and that your intelligence source was CP. Spandam from CP9, right? You were one of his, from the very beginning of your promotion..."

Kevin interrupted him with such outrageous words.

"Do you think someone who is the core of the Revolutionary Army would be a member of CP? He is just a pawn I'm using. After all, whether it's food supplies or the special equipment Vegapunk needs, we need his help to get things moving smoothly."

These words caused the chameleon's expression to change, and in an instant, it understood many key points.

"So Vegapunk was captured by the Revolutionary Army, and that's why those five countries were so easily overthrown, and the transportation of supplies and weapons was all your doing..."

"Wait! The biggest reason you stayed there to stop me and Borsalino was..."

Kevin continued, "In order to ensure that the revolutionary armies of those five countries all withdraw and take away all valuable resources—let me think—there are nearly 60,000 people, and the wealth of the royal palace."

After he finished speaking, the CP0 guys fell silent.

He never imagined that this person, whom the CP was so proud of and who was considered a future admiral who had infiltrated the Navy, would actually be the core of the Revolutionary Army.

After a moment, Kevin yawned: "Anything else you want to ask? If not, let's begin."

Chameleon glanced at Rodnaz Saint, who was wailing and screaming in the cell next to him, and couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the information that the prison had instilled in him.

"I...I can join you."

Kevin chuckled softly upon hearing this.

"Join? I don't think you have the prerequisites to join the Revolutionary Army. Your will didn't belong to most people in this world from the beginning. You're used to being a dog."

"Only by accepting the Celestial Dragons' superiority as a truth could your Armament Haki reach its current level. If you want to preserve your strength, you need to accept my superiority as a truth, otherwise your unwavering will will crumble."

Kevin's eyes were full of mockery: "If you can switch, you're still a dog; if you can't, you're just a toothless dead dog. So... you're completely useless."

Despite such ridicule, CP0's chameleon did not give up.

Because he heard something different from these words: the other party really could bring him back to life, even if he had already died.

During the final blow in Area One of the Sabaody Archipelago, he was even able to use Rodnaz's corpse as a shield. He would do anything to survive.

"I...I can be a good dog, believe me!"

"From this day forward, you are the only one who is right! You are the supreme god! I can do it! Believe me!"

Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Kevin asked, "Didn't you seem pretty tough when you died? Saying you'd be waiting for me down there?"

The chameleon remained kneeling, its thoughts churning within it.

Over the years, he had become accustomed to flattering Celestial Dragons, but the person in front of him who had a chance to live was not a fool like the Celestial Dragons.

Kevin the Executioner, a man who has climbed his way up from the West Blue step by step, meticulously planning his way to where he is now, even setting his sights on Mary Geoise, how could he possibly be a fool like a Celestial Dragon?

"When you think death is the end, it doesn't matter what you say, sir. Being tough at that time would only be self-deception."

The kneeling CP0 member continued, "I know many secrets within CP, and I am a great swordsman, possessing top-tier dual-type Haki..."

Kevin waved his hand: "I'm not interested in CP's secrets. You probably don't know anything about those five old geezers on Mary Geoise, let alone Im between the flowers. Finished?"

"No!"

Just as he was about to activate the black flames, the chameleon hurriedly spoke up, "I know about the arrangements for collecting the Heavenly Gold! And! There's also a special passage that was abandoned due to its distance—a special passage that crosses the Red Earth Continent!"

"Your Revolutionary Army needs Pele for its development. You have Vegapunk's machinery for the special passageway gantry; that location is very well hidden, and the army rarely searches there!"

After he finished speaking, Kevin fell silent.

Perhaps we misunderstood this guy's will; it shouldn't be about placing the Celestial Dragons on a pedestal, but rather about survival.

If that's the case, perhaps by using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive him, his Armament Haki and Observation Haki could still be preserved.

A great swordsman's swordsmanship might decline due to a lack of wrist and arm strength, but it's still good enough for a dog.

He couldn't keep the secrets of the Heavenly Gold and the abandoned special passage under the scorching black flames, but his understanding of CP was exactly what the Revolutionary Army needed right now.

With the death of an admiral-level fighter and the addition of teleportation abilities, the five old fogies on Mary Geoise will definitely be wary of him and the Revolutionary Army.

Before launching a solo attack on Mary Geoise, Im would not have chosen to carry out the Great Purge, but it was inevitable that the World Government would mobilize the majority of its resources to investigate the Revolutionary Army.

So a dog that can't betray you, a dog with teeth that is completely loyal to its owner, might be of some use.

With this thought in mind, Kevin had an idea.

The next moment, black flames erupted instantly, scorching the creature in the cage.

"ah!!!"

The piercing screams and Rodnaz Saint's wailing blended together as Kevin turned and left the passage.

The moment the passage closed, the world finally became quiet.

If the dog's will to survive is its own, then it needs to know whose hands its life is in. Burn it for three days first, and then this dog will truly obey.

In addition to being obedient, one also needs to be sensible.

……

A new day begins, and after Smoker is knocked away again, Kevin picks up his knife and starts a new training session.

At noon, they ate enough food for twenty people at the Navy Headquarters mess hall, leaving the trainees in the youth training camp speechless once again.

Not long after, a figure sat down next to Kevin.

"You're back?"

Kevin didn't even look up, but he knew it was Kuzan.

"Something happened in the Sabaody Archipelago. Borsalino was questioned by the World Government, and I was called back here as well."

Kuzan's gaze was somewhat profound as he spoke, and the large book in his hand made him feel that perhaps he should do something.

But at this time, he knew nothing about the situation over there, and the cloaked man had never contacted him again since then.

I don't know how, but after he came back, he found Kevin here.

It's worth noting that Kevin's reputation at Marine Headquarters is terrible; he's often called a lackey of the World Government. This reputation initially stemmed from his exposure of Kuzan during the South China Sea incident.

Because of his old friend Lomi, he always felt that there was something wrong with Kevin's character, including some coincidences and the Kevin he saw, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Over in Sabaody? The Celestial Dragons are in trouble again?"

Kevin turned around and met Kuzan's gaze.

This is it!

Kuzan frowned.

Celestial Dragon?

No, the first thing this kid thought of was that something had happened to the Celestial Dragons.

But it's perfectly normal to make that connection because of Borsalino.

Kuzan lowered his voice: "Another one died. This time Borsalino teamed up with one of CP's top fighters, but it was still ineffective, and another one died."

Kevin frowned, then threw down the bone in his hand: "I'm going to Enies Lobby!"

After saying that, Kevin left the cafeteria.

Behind him, Kuzan kept watching Kevin's back.

The fact that he rushed to Enies Lobby like this suggests that he was looking for Spandine of CP9, which is the correct course of action for his character. But why does something feel off?

……

The following afternoon, Kuzan once again found Kevin, who had just beaten up Smoker.

"Did you go see someone from CP yesterday?"

Kevin glanced at Kuzan: "You and I aren't on the same side. Our superior-subordinate relationship will end once I'm promoted to lieutenant general. Why are you keeping an eye on me all the time?"

Kuzan was somewhat taken aback, then paused before speaking, "Because I feel that your attitude towards pirates is not like that of the World Government, or rather, not very different from that of CP. Lomi is a close friend of mine from the same generation, and I don't think someone recommended by him would be a loyal dog of the World Government."

Kevin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then waved his hand and replied, "Something's happened at CP9 too. That guy's very busy right now, probably because of what you said yesterday."

At this point, Kevin's heart stirred, and he smiled at Kuzan: "I've never been a loyal dog; I'm just doing things to achieve my goals. The World Government was able to help me get promoted, and that's the biggest reason."

After lunch in the cafeteria, perhaps because of what had just been said, Kuzan started following Kevin.

This left Kevin, who originally wanted to go to the East China Sea, with no other option. After all, if this guy suddenly decided to use his shadow clone, it would explode into smoke and expose the deception.

"Kevin, I remember you were an orphan, right?"

"Life must be very difficult for people at the bottom of society, right?"

"After gaining power, have you ever thought about changing all of this?"

"Do the hardships we've witnessed make you feel bad? For example, do they remind you of your own childhood?"

Do you think they've already given their all just to stay alive?
