Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Seeing this, Yan frowned and suddenly thought of a question.

Although this place is located inside the Red Line continent, its enclosed nature provides excellent sound insulation. However, the large number of slaves inevitably leads to various noises being made frequently.

If the world government were to discover this unintentionally, it would be a catastrophe.

Of course, Yann knew that the probability was very small, but it was still a hidden danger that could not be ignored.

After hesitating for a moment, Yann tried to use Corazon's own "Silence-Silence Fruit" ability, and immediately a silence barrier opened, enveloping the entire plaza.

Yann estimated the physical exertion of the "Silence Fruit" and found that it would pose almost no challenge to Corazon's current physique. He then simply expanded the Silence Barrier to cover the entire cave area, completely preventing the cave's sounds from leaking to the outside world.

In this way, the cave entrance is sealed off, sound is blocked, and apart from the narrow ventilation openings scattered throughout, there is almost no possibility of it being detected by the outside world.

As the revolutionary army members slowly lit up the lights in the square, the slaves, looking at Corazon standing above, gradually quieted down.

After a long while, as the entire square returned to silence, Yann, controlling Corazon's body, raised the scythe that the slaves were extremely familiar with and shouted.

"We... survived! We left the Holy Land of Mary Geoise alive!"

"Sing the praises of freedom, everyone!"

In an instant, the entire square turned into a sea of ​​cheers. With the appearance of Corazon, the slaves, who were in an unfamiliar environment, were completely at ease.

And Yan didn't say much more; that one sentence was enough.

As for the rest, the revolutionary army will be responsible for arranging and coordinating them.

After leaving the square, Yern turned to Dragon beside him and asked, "Is the meeting ready?"

"Everyone's here, except for you and me."

As Dragon led the way, he said, "It's a pity you can't come in your true form; I'm afraid many comrades will be disappointed."

"Until a real revolutionary result is achieved, for safety reasons, my identity should remain top secret."

"Ian said in a serious tone."

"I only did this in the past to allow the revolutionary army to take root smoothly. Now that I no longer need to take such risks, I will probably appear in this form from now on."

[Chapter 179 The Meeting]

In fact, the current World Government is unaware of the Revolutionary Army's existence; their attention is primarily focused on Dragon.

After all, Dragon demonstrated extremely strong combat power when he was a member of the Navy, and now that he has defected from the Navy, he has become an invisible threat to the World Government.

It was precisely because of Dragon's experience that Yann knew very well that the higher one's position in the Navy, the more closely the World Government would monitor them. Therefore, Dragon fully understood why Yann was hiding his true identity.

Sooner or later, the existence of the Revolutionary Army will eventually come into the open and be completely exposed to the World Government.

At that time, a large number of World Government spies will inevitably try every means to infiltrate the Revolutionary Army and investigate and collect intelligence about it.

It was precisely to prepare for this moment that Yan had already begun to erase traces of his true identity from within the Revolutionary Army.

"Understood, I will cooperate in concealing your true identity."

Dorrag nodded in agreement, then led Yan into a newly excavated conference room.

The meeting room was rudimentary, lacking tables, chairs, food, and anything else. Only a group of people stood quietly inside, watching the arrival of Dorrag and Yann.

Dorrag and Yann walked side by side through the crowd to the front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the person next to me..."

Dorag briefly explained Yann's identity and stated that he was currently only the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.

"Comrades, it's nice to meet you all. Please give me your guidance."

As Yarne, controlling the identity of Corazon, bowed slightly and said, "It's a pity that due to various unforeseen circumstances, we can only meet everyone in this way. Please forgive me."

None of the high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army, or rather, the key combatants, spoke; they merely bowed slightly in the direction of Yann to show their respect.

As Yann's gaze swept across the group, he spotted many familiar faces, among which the most striking was the burly, bear-like man—Bartholomew Bear.

Dragon, who was standing to the side, took over the conversation and said, "Then let's begin the meeting."

In fact, this meeting can be considered a supplement and extension of the "Revolutionary Army's First Five-Year Plan - Sparks Spreading Across the Seas", and it also makes detailed adjustments and additions to the entire strategic five-year plan.

The revolutionary army needs to expand from the North Sea to cover the entire sea, so the allocation of the revolutionary army's key combat forces is of paramount importance.

Otherwise, if the leader and combat strength of a revolutionary army region cannot even defeat or control the local gangs in a small town, how can they steadily recruit comrades and grow stronger?

So, just this one issue, discussed area by area, took a good half day to reach a preliminary conclusion.

In addition, the revolutionary army's development model, code of conduct, ideological expansion, organizational structure, and so on in various parts of the sea also need to be adjusted and established according to the current situation of the revolutionary army.

Fortunately, Yann had previously explored a suitable model for the development of the Revolutionary Army in the North Sea, which could serve as a reference.

More importantly, nearly 99% of the original citizens who survived throughout the Kingdom of Flevans have come to accept the revolutionary army's ideology and are gradually joining it, which has greatly alleviated the revolutionary army's huge talent shortage.

Just as the issue of personnel shortage was being discussed, Dragon suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"Chief of Staff, in fact, besides the original citizens of Flevans, the slaves we just rescued also deeply understand the darkness of the World Government. Perhaps they will also agree with the Revolutionary Army's ideals and become our comrades."

"This is the question I want to address later."

After a pause, Yann continued.

"I believe that all of you comrades have already come into contact with these newly rescued slaves. They are indeed the group of people on this sea who understand the darkness of the World Government the most deeply, and who hate and despise the World Government the most."

"However, one thing must be acknowledged: compared to the pure identities of the original citizens of Frevans, this group is a mixed bag."

"Pirates, explorers, kingdom soldiers, dancers, ordinary civilians, and various special races, etc., which leads to huge differences in their ideas and beliefs, and it is necessary to carefully approach and understand each one."

"Furthermore, being enslaved by the World Government, they are likely to suffer from various psychological and physical illnesses, which will require gradual treatment and recovery."

"In addition, they all bear the mark of the 'Flying Dragon's Hoof,' so they can be quickly identified as soon as they appear in the outside world."

"Given various factors, it will be difficult for these newly liberated slaves to integrate smoothly into the revolutionary army in the short term, let alone be sent out to carry out missions."

After Yann's detailed explanation, the Revolutionary Army members present nodded in agreement, while "Ivankov," the "Queen of the Transvestites," spoke up directly.

"Haha! The Chief of the General Staff is right. I secretly observed them and found that, apart from mental illnesses, almost every one of them has various physical health problems and needs a long time to recover."

Another revolutionary comrade said with some concern.

"However, there is a problem. It's fine for these slaves to hide here in the short term, but in the long term, it will be difficult to replenish various supplies, and they may not be willing to stay here."

"Won't……"

Yann waved his hand and said, "I'm sure you all know what this sea looks like as a whole. The Red Line runs across the Grand Line, dividing the entire sea into two halves."

"Now that I have Mori's Devil Fruit ability, I have an idea: to build a port for our Revolutionary Army on the Red Line."

"In this way, we can completely get rid of the problem that our Revolutionary Army has to risk and go through the Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters deep in the sea, if we want to travel from the first half of the Grand Line to the second half. Moreover, the port will become more and more strategically important as we go on."

"And this port will be the new home for these newly freed slaves. With the flow of various supplies, their survival needs can be easily met."

"Of course, if possible, I would also like to send these slaves back to their homeland and regain their freedom, but that is almost unrealistic for most slaves."

"After all, once they show themselves and the 'Dragon Hoof' is exposed, the World Government will inevitably eliminate it in order to cover up the slave system."

[Chapter 180. Another Purpose]

"Therefore, it is necessary for you to arrange for your comrades to do ideological work with the slaves, so that they understand that returning to their hometown now will not only lead to their own danger, but may even bring hidden dangers to their families and hometown."

"Furthermore, if some slaves are recaptured by the World Government and their location is exposed under torture, it could very well lead to annihilation."

As Yann began to explain, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of helplessness.

"Let them be patient for now. Once the time is right and the 'Dragon Hoof' mark on them is removed, we can make arrangements based on each person's specific situation."

After a moment's thought, Dragon agreed that this was the most appropriate course of action. "The Chief of the General Staff is right. Let's proceed with this arrangement for now."

"Furthermore, continuing with the previous topic, the personnel arrangements for the latter half of the Grand Line are crucial. That's where the strongest individuals from across the entire sea gather, and their actions can profoundly impact the situation on that sea, so..."

The meeting continued as Yann spoke.

Two full days had passed between intermittent breaks, during which all the problems that the revolutionary army had accumulated were discussed and studied in the meeting.

……

Meanwhile, while the Revolutionary Army was holding a far-reaching meeting, the World Government, CP0, and the Navy thoroughly searched every corner of Bubble Cable Car Port.

However, no!

Not a single trace of slavery was found.

"Could it really be that the so-called 'Lord of Hueco Mundo' instantly took away tens of thousands of slaves?"

Kong looked at the two Marine Admirals, "Aokiji" Kuzan and "Kizaru" Borsalino, and asked.

Facing their superior's superior, the World Government's Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Kong, Kuzan and Borsalino maintained a calm and indifferent expression, giving perfunctory answers.

"There's nothing we can do if we can't find it."

"What do you mean 'we can't find it and there's nothing we can do'? Borsalino, do you know how serious this is?" Steelbone Sky, who was always tough, roared as he reprimanded him.

"Once tens of thousands of slaves are dispersed throughout the world, it will instantly create a huge wave of public opinion and trigger a series of chain reactions..."

"At that time, it might even escalate the 'Great Pirate Era,' leading to large-scale chaos around the world and the secession of member states..."

However, no matter what Cyborg Kong said, Kuzan and Borsalino remained as if they were either still half asleep or completely deaf.

Does this have anything to do with them?

It doesn't matter!

They didn't lose the slaves; the responsibility doesn't lie with the navy.

Even if the Five Elders wanted to hold someone accountable, they would only target Cyborg Kong. Therefore, Kuzan and Borsalino understood that Cyborg Kong was just venting his anger in a pointless way.

Ultimately, Cyborg Kong had no choice but to kick Kuzan and Borsalino out of the office.

Outside the office, Borsalino, wearing brown sunglasses and constantly clipping his nails with his head down, asked Kuzan beside him as if he were on vacation.

"Go back?"

Kuzan yawned, his eyes still sleepy, and said, "Wait a minute, I need to see Yann. Marshal Sengoku asked me to bring him back with me."

"Ya'en, oh, that North Blue Inspector General, right? I heard he was also involved in the Celestial Dragons' attack this time."

Borsalino thought for a moment, then followed Kuzan and said, "And he's been unconscious for two days and two nights."

"Perhaps."

Kuzan spoke ambiguously as he walked toward the Mary Geoise Hospital.

When two of the Navy's top three combatants visited the Holy Land Mary Geoise Hospital, even in a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries were everywhere, Kuzan and Borsalino, standing out from the crowd, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
