Konoha's task master

Free City·Office of the Governor of the Council.

There are mountains of documents placed on the antique desk. Two capable secretaries are sitting at the two tables on the side. They are conducting a simple screening of the documents. The more important documents need to be handed over to Long for processing.

Deep in the office, Long sat at the desk, handling documents with his fingers, and the pen quickly wrote down lines of text under the control of his wrist.

One and a half years have passed in the world of pirates.

There are a few strands of white hair on the dragon's head, and the whole person looks a little thinner and bookish. In addition, his eyes become brighter, like two deep black pearls.

Swish.

When Yakumo appeared, he changed the airflow in the study room. Almost instantly, Long's body became very tense, and his body directly entered the elemental state, like an invisible breeze.

"who is it?"

"It's me." Yakumo said softly.

The familiar voice made Long's tense body relax slightly, and he immediately began to observe with a domineering attitude. The familiar face, the specific strength that could not be seen through... He was sure that the person in front of him was his good brother.

Of course, if he wasn't his good brother, then today next year would be his death anniversary. After all, if you can't see clearly, you basically can't beat him.

Naturally, other people's Observation Color Haki does not have such abilities, but he is a dragon, and he uses the ability of the Wind and Wind Fruit to strengthen his Observation Color Haki, reaching an extremely terrifying level.

After Yakumo left, Ryuu recognized himself as the most powerful person in Haki.

"Is it really you?"

Although his eyes and feelings told him that the person in front of him was Yakumo, Long still felt a little unbelievable.

But this is the depths of the Free City, and a dragnet is deployed on the road leading here, covertly and covertly. If it hadn't been for Yakumo... the others wouldn't have been able to sneak in so easily.

Before Yakumo left, he once said... that he would not return to the pirate world unless something big happened. The last farewell between the two of them was basically equivalent to an eternal farewell, but unexpectedly they met again within two years.

"Of course, I did something wrong, and I came back this time to make up for it."

Yakumo sat calmly on the seat in front of Long.

Kakashi secretly looked at the middle-aged man with tattoos on his face. He had a very elegant temperament, which reminded him of his father, Hatake Sakumo.

But his face revealed a very fierce look.

Two extremely contradictory feelings were mixed in one person, which couldn't help but attract more of Kakashi's attention.

"Is this your friend?"

Dragon did not ask what Yakumo meant by the mistake, but noticed Kakashi's observation and the young woman as gentle as water standing next to Kakashi. He couldn't help but think of Luffy's mother.

The two have the same temperament.

Realizing his gaffe, Long quickly asked Yakumo.

"This is my sister, and that is my good friend."

Yakumo noticed the change in Long's mood, but did not delve into it and simply answered Long's question.

"I see, everyone, please take a seat."

Long stood up and said politely. He knew that there were no simple people who could follow Yakumo. Among them, Masako Mori and Qianyue Qianyue were not weaker than him in any way.

"Okay, dragon, you guys talk... I'll take them out for a walk."

Masako Mori showed no interest in the ensuing conversation between the two and directly asked Long to go out for a walk.

Although the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army all knew Masako Mori, now there are new people joining the Free Federation. Long called two secretaries to guide them to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When the two secretaries saw so many people in the study, their first reaction was panic, but they still showed their strong professionalism.

After everyone left, there was a smile on Long's face.

Hey, he doesn’t pretend anymore!

"I really didn't expect you to show up so soon."

Long put down the work in his hands and leaned on the soft sofa, his tone was somewhat emotional, and he hid his tiredness well.

"I'm here to correct the mistake. I was a bit too idealistic. I thought that as long as I overthrew the Celestial Dragons, I would be able to bring freedom and peace to the world. However, the Celestial Dragons' tit-for-tat assassination, the red-haired pirates' broken promises, and the

The Pirate King is regarded as a god by all pirates."

"These people are making the situation in this world less stable. Pirates still exist...the killings still continue, and the Tianlong people still wield their butcher knives in secret." Yakumo replied in a low tone.

"The death of Roger, the previous Pirate King, started a wave. It was the torrent of the times and the general trend of the world. Millions of people became pirates. Now the new Pirate King's ascension to the throne has reignited the wave. How can the pirate group be like this?

It will take a few years to completely eradicate it.”

"The results we want are still in the future."

Long closed his eyes and rubbed his brows. The current situation in the world was far different from what he expected, but he did not lose confidence because of this. After all, the most difficult level had been passed.

"Actually, our biggest enemies are the Red Hair Pirates, the remnants of the Celestial Dragons, and... the Straw Hat Pirates." Yakumo analyzed.

Long nodded and spoke.

"I have sent the navy admiral to encircle and suppress the red-haired pirates. As for the hidden location of the Celestial Dragons, the intelligence department is also intensively searching for it. As for the Straw Hat Pirates..."

When he talked about the Straw Hat Pirates, his tone changed significantly, becoming deeper and more complex. Luffy was his son after all.

"The Straw Hat Pirates have already made plans to retire. After all, the reason why they went out on adventure in the first place was to become the Pirate King and for the secret treasure left by the legendary Pirate King Roger."

"In this case, the Straw Hat Pirates can no longer be considered enemies."

This is good news for Yakumo. After all, he doesn't want to personally kill the character he has been a fan of for many years.

"By the way, do you know what the Pirate King's secret treasure is?"

"I have no idea."

Long then said with some surprise.

"I thought you knew."

"Why do you feel this way?" Yakumo asked curiously.

"Whitebeard is one of the few strong men in the past generation... who knows what the secret treasure is. You have helped Whitebeard many times, and I thought he was taking the big secret treasure in exchange." Long replied matter-of-factly.

"He did intend to offer this in exchange, but unfortunately I rejected him outright at the time."

Yakumo said with a regretful expression.

At that time, what Whitebeard planned to exchange was that he would protect the Whitebeard Pirates for two years. Yakumo had no reason to stay in this world for too long at that time, so he naturally refused without hesitation.

This also caused Yakumo to lose the opportunity to obtain the ultimate secret, which was not very sad. Even if he chose Yakumo again, he would not stay for two years for a secret.

"That's the ultimate secret of the world, aren't you curious?"

Long asked in surprise. After all, he had been curious about that secret for a long time, but there were many gaps with what he planned, so he had to give up exploring the secret.

Now he is closer to his goal, but he no longer has the energy to explore the secret. Now he seems to be very close to real success, but in fact he is walking on thin ice.

One wrong move and you could lose everything.

"Curious, of course curious, definitely curious."

Yakumo said of course, after all, this is the core secret of the One Piece world, and it is also the great secret treasure that runs throughout.

"But this secret is not enough for me to spend two years waiting."

"Then why didn't you figure it out?"

Yakumo continued to ask. Logically speaking, with the current influence of the Free Federation, it should not be difficult to figure out this matter.

"This secret has nothing to do with the goal I am pursuing."

Long opened his eyes and replied calmly.

"Currently, the biggest problem in the Free Federation is the remaining forces of the Red-haired Pirates and the Celestial Dragons, right?"

Yakumo did not dwell too much on that issue, but redirected the question to his goal of coming to the pirate world.

Not for tasks, not for gold coins.

Just for the sake of inner peace and ordering things out of chaos.

"Those big pirates in the New World are also very difficult to deal with, especially since we have been distracted too much by the remnants of the Celestial Dragons."

Long stood up and lifted off the beige cloth covering the wall next to him. Below was a transparent glass plate, and under the glass was a world map.

There are many sticky notes affixed to the New World, representing the pirate forces that are fighting against the Free Federation. Among them, the red-haired pirates specially drew a circle with a red carbon pen.

This represents the importance Long attaches to the Red-Haired Pirates in his heart. In addition, there is a lot of information on the table next to him, including the abilities and characteristics of the major cadres of the Red-Haired Pirates.

In fact, the Free Federation does not intend to completely eliminate the Red-haired Pirates. It only hopes to restrict them to a certain area as much as possible and force them to take the initiative to engage in peace talks.

Although they wanted to destroy the red-haired pirates, the Free Federation could not bear the price of destroying the emperor-level forces. Back then, the navy sent out its strongest lineup to deal with Whitebeard.

In an era when many strong men were withering, the Free Federation simply could not assemble a lineup of that level. Coupled with the constraints of the Celestial Dragons, the Free Federation could not put all its efforts into the new world.

Yakumo looked at the world map under the glass plate. Except for the New World, only the Windless Zone was specially marked, and several huge black circles were drawn on a certain area.

"Are the Celestial Dragons hiding in the windless zone?" Yakumo asked.

"There is this speculation, and during this period our intelligence department has begun to explore the Windless Zone, not only to find the Celestial Dragons, but also to find traces of Vegapunk."

Before disappearing, the Celestial Dragons not only took away many treasures and devil fruits in the treasure house, but also took away the research team of Vegapunk, the greatest scientist in the world.

Maybe that day, the Tianlong people will return to the stage with a fully mechanized terrifying army and regain their dominance.

It is precisely because of this speculation that the Free Federation focused more on the task of finding traces of the Draco. Unfortunately, no results were obtained within a year and a half.

On the contrary, the Tianlong people sent assassins to assassinate the top leaders of the Free Federation, and even massacred civilians to achieve certain goals.

"I heard that the Celestial Dragons even sent people to massacre civilians. Is there any point in doing this?"

Yakumo asked very puzzledly. The purpose of doing this seems to be that it will only make the Tianlong people bear the name of cruelty and cruelty, without any other benefits.

Mentioning this, Long's eyes showed anger.

"The Celestial Dragons left a threatening letter in the massacre place. As long as I am willing to take the initiative to commit suicide, they will give up massacring civilians."

"This is too despicable..."

Yakumo sighed, revolutionaries started from the common people, and their own propaganda slogan was to seek real freedom and fairness for the common people, which was equivalent to seeking welfare for the basic class.

What the Celestial Dragons do is... If you care about civilians, then I will force you to make a choice. Should you sacrifice yourself and save tens of thousands of people, or should you ignore the life and death of those people?

If you choose the former... Tianlong people will definitely make money.

If you choose the latter, in the long run... the Free Federation will lose the hearts and minds of the grassroots. After all, when fear is not alleviated, people will have many negative emotions that need to be vented.

When they are unable to influence the violent party, their target will shift to the innocent person on the other side.

This is how the theory of the guilty of the innocent was born.

When the dragon is alive, tens of thousands of people will die. Then for the vast majority of people in this world, the dragon will become the one who deserves to die, because they don't know when the butcher knife of the Celestial Dragon will come.

Kind people are most easily threatened.

It's a pity... Although Long is kind-hearted, he is still a tyrant, the kind of werewolf who is even willing to give up the lives of his family for his own goals.

Such people will not be threatened and cannot accept threats.

The Tianlong people will continue to massacre and will not waver him.

In addition, there are those civilians who were captured by fear and willingly became slaves just to obtain the lives that belonged to them. In fact, fear is the most intuitive and simple way to gain dominance.

Yakumo could imagine how much pressure the dragon was under. Of course, his pressure was also not small. Every civilian massacred by the Tianlong people was related to his annual gold coin income.

Even if it is not linked to gold coins, just in terms of the weight of life, the Tianlong people must be eliminated. There is no need for such a horrible and sinful group to survive, and their continuation is some kind of harm to the rest of the world.

"Are you sure that the Celestial Dragons are in the Windless Zone now?" Yakumo asked.

"Basically... the same thing."

Long's tone was not firm, it was just the result of speculation by the intelligence department based on a lot of intelligence information.

"Then I will be responsible for the Celestial Dragons."

There are indeed many loopholes in the plan that Yakumo once designated, or it may be that he has become overconfident and even a little arrogant after being tempered in the world of One Punch Man.

This not only gave Red Hair the opportunity to break his promise, but also gave the Celestial Dragons a chance to escape from their shells, which created the current situation.

At that time, he should have gone directly to Marigio and settled everything.

"Red Hair, I will let Mori Masako and the others deal with it. Their strength is enough to destroy the Red Hair Pirates." Yakumo continued.

"Okay, actually the resistance of the red-haired pirates is not fierce, it's more like a test by us. Unfortunately... he shouldn't break his promise."

Dragon's consciousness is very simple...

If you don't want to obey, then you can only destroy it.

This is a battle between ideas and systems, and sacrifice is inevitable...
