Uchiha's personal opinion

After all, the Revolutionary Army's strength is not particularly formidable. If its main combat power is committed to other sea areas, it is highly likely that the current controlled areas will be easily annexed. Especially after the news that the Eastern Republic camp had begun to distribute land and grants land reached the Revolutionary Army's sphere of influence, many civilians have become 'dissatisfied' and strongly demanded that the Republic camp's operations be copied.

But Monkey D. Dragon couldn't do that.

Because among his revolutionary army's supporters were a considerable number of members from merchant or even minor noble families, and while these people were willing to join the revolution and overthrow the corrupt world government, they absolutely lacked the courage and possibility to voluntarily turn their swords against him.

So the question became whether to stay or leave.

If they stayed, the development of the revolutionary army would be impossible; if they went out, the old revolutionary base areas would likely be occupied, not to mention the great risks involved.

Monkey D. Dragon was also struggling to make a decision.

But not long after, Kizaru, who had agreed to exchange messages with him, sent two Den Den Mushi to him.

A regular Den Den Mushi used for long-distance calls, and a white Den Den Mushi used to attach to the regular Den Den Mushi and emit interference waves to prevent eavesdropping.

"This guy actually..."

Monkey D. Dragon initially thought that Kizaru's parting words about 'exchanging information' were just empty talk, but now it seems that Kizaru is very serious...

He didn't hesitate for long before ordering someone to bring a plug-in module with fax functionality and attach it to the Den Den Mushi, and then sending over a photo of the room where Kizaru had been taken in to heal.

"Dudududu!"

Not long after, Den Den Mushi received a fax reply with Kizaru's selfie.

Furthermore, in the photo, Kizaru is making a 'V' sign with his mechanized left arm, and the clock and calendar in the background also indicate the current time.

Monkey D. Dragon breathed a slight sigh of relief, confirming that this was not a sting operation by a secret World Government organization, and immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi and began making a call.

"Dudududu!"

The Den Den Mushi was connected very quickly.

"it's me."

On the other side, Kizaru spoke up.

"I know……"

Monkey D. Dragon answered calmly.

"There is a traitor within the revolutionary army."

Kizaru didn't waste time with pleasantries and went straight to the point, recounting the information he had learned from Sengoku.

"...How did you know?"

Monkey D. Dragon's eyelids twitched.

"...CP0 agents have already written the report and personally brought it back to Sabaody Archipelago."

"It's Kizaru speaking slowly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi," Kizaru said.

Monkey D. Dragon was also unable to discern Kizaru's mood from his voice.

If what Kizaru said is true, then the existence of a mole within the Revolutionary Army is indeed a fact.

After all, when Kizaru was rescued, there were also mid- to high-ranking officers of the Revolutionary Army present. Although Monkey D. Dragon strictly controlled the news afterward, with so many people involved, some leaks were inevitable.

But he also harbored a secret sense of anticipation...

If Kizaru were to choose to leave the Navy because of this, wouldn't the situation be completely turned around at once?

But then he casually rummaged through the Den Den Mushi box, which was clearly marked with words like 'Marine Headquarters,' 'Top Secret,' and 'Valuable Items,' suggesting that Kizaru had no intention of leaving...

So Monkey D. Dragon didn't rush to give his opinion, but continued to listen to what Kizaru had to say.

"It's just a pity that the agent fell into the water and drowned..."

Sure enough, Kizaru changed the subject, his tone becoming both comical and somewhat gloating.

"That's truly delightful..."

Monkey D. Dragon then felt that offering congratulations might be inappropriate, so he coughed and cleared his throat, saying, "It's truly a sad thing!"

"yes……"

Kizaru, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, sighed, "But there's nothing we can do, that's life..."

"..."

Monkey D. Dragon was at a loss for words.

"You should prepare for the relocation."

Kizaru continued, "The peace in the East Blue won't last long."

"You're right..."

Monkey D. Dragon understood what Kizaru meant.

But now the newly formed revolutionary army has finally managed to carve out a territory, and it is surrounded by the navy and the 'remnants'. He is very worried that if he leaves, his existing sphere of influence will be immediately swallowed up.

"Let's go to the new world."

Kizaru said, "The North Blue and the West Blue are where we can achieve great things."

As for the South China Sea, which is also located in the first half of the Grand Line, it is the foundation for the Navy to expand its military in the future. The importance attached to it and the forces deployed there will be greatly increased. It is not suitable to become the next destination for the Revolutionary Army.

"why?"

Although Monkey D. Dragon was somewhat tempted, he still asked a question in return.

"...Don't make things difficult for Garp-senpai."

Kizaru remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a low voice, "Don't make things difficult for me and Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral."

"You mean..."

Monkey D. Dragon was somewhat surprised, unable to understand why this was related to Sengoku, who was the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

As for his relationship with his father, Vice Admiral Garp, it's easy to understand. After all, Kizaru's words have revealed the extent of the Navy's future actions in the East China Sea.

This is normal, after all, the World Government cannot tolerate a force—especially the 'remnants of a great kingdom' with whom it has an irreconcilable feud—occupying the territory of the East Blue for a long time.

"Hmm... Marshal Sengoku also put some thought into the matter of the CP0 agent falling into the water."

Kizaru said, "But that's all it can do. It definitely can't go on like this in the long run."

"Moreover, before the two major powers go to war, they will not tolerate the continued existence of a weak third party."

"I understand……"

Monkey D. Dragon took a deep breath and made a decision: "So, when would be a good time to set off?"

"Three days later."

Kizaru also gave a specific timeframe: "I will arrange the coating craftsmen in the Sabaody Archipelago for you by then."

"it is good……"

Although the time was very tight, Monkey D. Dragon agreed without much hesitation.

"By the way, here's a hint..."

Before hanging up the Den Den Mushi call, Kizaru suddenly added, "A power vacuum will soon appear in the New World. Seize the opportunity then."

After he finished speaking, all he heard on Monkey D. Dragon's Den Den Mushi was a busy signal.

The Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea—these are the three major powers of the New World…

So, how and where will the 'power vacuum' that Kizaru mentioned appear?

Monkey D. Dragon was completely baffled.

Chapter 535 The Pact of the Three Sovereigns

Although Minato Namikaze, now in the new world, didn't do much, he felt as if the heavens and earth were working together, and everything was progressing unexpectedly smoothly.

As the Navy continues to strengthen its troop deployment in the New World, the Four Emperors and the pirate crews scattered throughout the world are feeling the pressure.

And divisions began to emerge within the pirate group.

First, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who were 'recruited', clearly declared their armed neutrality and took the opportunity to recruit small and medium-sized pirate crews that had been forced to flee by the Navy. Then, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, began to clash with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which further exacerbated the division within the pirate community.

After receiving reinforcements, the Navy intensified its attacks on the Four Emperors' forces, especially targeting the Beast Pirates, who controlled Wano Country, making them the Navy's primary target for establishing its authority.

After installing heavy cannons and external armor, the pirates' ships were able to hold their own against the navy in terms of firepower and defense. However, due to limitations in training and the performance of the ships themselves, the pirate ships, which were also sailing warships, could not gain an advantage in naval battles. In addition, the navy's forces continued to grow stronger, and the Beast Pirates were soon suppressed.

While it may not mean annihilation, it is certainly not a good omen for Kaido.

Therefore, Kaido took the initiative to put the 'Four Emperors Alliance' proposed by Minato Namikaze on the agenda and began substantive negotiations with Whitebeard and Shanks.

As for why Charlotte Linlin, who is also one of the Four Emperors, has not been in contact, the reason is simple—Kaido's relationship with her is rather mysterious!

"That's just how things are, that's reality! I don't want to see her, and I don't want her to see me!"

Therefore, when questioned by Minato Namikaze, Kaido, who had a brief affair with Charlotte Linlin in his youth, said: "In any case, the Pirate Alliance can do either me or her!"

"...But three people might not be enough, right?"

Unaware of the grudges and entanglements between the two, Minato Namikaze persisted, saying, "If we can unite the might of the Four Emperors and fight together, what is there to worry about in terms of the destruction of the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Don't you understand human language?!"

Kaido, no longer caring about his status as a sugar daddy and arms dealer, immediately jumped up, kicked over the table in front of him, and roared furiously, "It's either me or her! Understand?!"

"We absolutely cannot involve that old lady!"

"Fine……"

Although he still didn't understand why Kaido reacted so strongly to Charlotte Linlin, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to accept the situation.

"But is there any chance to win among the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Minato Namikaze changed the subject, asking, "If they were involved..."

"No way! Those bastards are all government lackeys!"

Kaido flatly refused.

Minato Namikaze didn't dwell on it and simply shrugged, letting it go.

"Also, could you please expedite the delivery of those military supplies?"

Kaido continued, "The current supply is severely insufficient!"
