The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

That striking purple head also became incredibly large.

"Pirates, criminals, robbers—these are the very people who destroy peace and happiness, and now they've even raised the red flag and are pursuing this kind of faith..."

He blurted out some rather rebellious words without thinking: "Doesn't this count as carrying the red flag... eating the red flag?!"

"..."

The other army commanders remained silent as well.

Because they simply couldn't imagine what these guys would do for a revolutionary cause.

Honestly, we should be thankful they don't sabotage us!

"What will this ocean become...?"

Lindbergh whirled erratically in the sky, his voice sounding frantic and exhausted:

"I have a feeling that after the Marineford War, the times started to become incredibly turbulent."

"And besides the situation at sea..."

Bello Betty took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Our original base, Baldigo, the Island of White Earth, has also been destroyed."

The crow beside him, also using a megaphone, murmured out its message in a barely audible voice:

"It's as if someone has erased it from the map."

"Could it be that there are hidden forces within the World Government that even we are unaware of...?"

Wow~

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees, and also stirring the restless thoughts of everyone present.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

And right there under this heart-shaped tree, a group of army commanders looked at each other in silence, feeling lost and troubled, unable to grasp the times, their hearts heavy with sorrow because of the destruction of the base.

"The situation on the high seas is indeed very strange..."

Suddenly, a green gust of wind swept in from the sky...

At the same time, it was accompanied by a calm tone.

"Dorag?!"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present perked up, as if they had found a pillar of support.

Everyone looked toward the direction where the gale was gathering at the ground.

At that moment, countless strong winds surged and transformed into a man dressed in a green robe.

"leader!!"

There were also quite a few revolutionary soldiers nearby shouting excitedly.

"However, overall, we are still in a relatively advantageous position."

Dorag lifted his cloak, revealing a rather fierce-looking face covered in marks.

"I'm so glad you're okay, hee hee!!"

Ivankov bounced right up from the ground with a thud.

“When Baltimore was destroyed, I was very worried about you and Sabo…”

Ivankov breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put his mind at ease... Wait a minute?!

"Where's Sabo?!"

Ivankov stared wide-eyed, searching around, while Kerla, standing beside him, asked the question directly.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"He's fine."

Dragon 3.4 nodded slightly. "The situation was very critical at the time, and I used my abilities to rescue him as well."

"Now, because of the sudden and strange changes at sea recently, he is once again on the move."

"Especially Alabasta, as the first superpower to respond to our ideas and a member state of the world government, is of paramount importance."

"Sabot has traveled to Alabasta in preparation for the upcoming situation."

Dorrag explained, then pinched his brow, his face and eyes revealing an undeniable weariness.

774 Vegapunk, and his six female super-intelligent clones ~ The world's most useful man!

Clearly, the ability that Sabo and he used to escape together in the critical moment also took a considerable toll on him.

In addition, the journey here had taken a toll on his physical strength.

Even a ruthless person like Dorrag appeared slightly tired.

"How's the situation here right now?"

Dragon asked softly, "Are the other companions alright?"

"Yes, Chief, fortunately we all withdrew from Baldigo in time, and there were basically no major personnel losses."

Lindbergh recounted the situation, "However, the transfer was very rushed, which resulted in some data and intelligence not being sorted out."

"We are working hard to organize those contents."

He then added:

"Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be so bad, but recently, we've received what seems to be a connection from Vegapunk through [Aegokod]."

"The other party seems to also want to break free from the control of the World Government, so they specifically contacted us."

"Moreover, there seems to be a hint of Vegapunk's influence behind the Eight-Nation Revolution."

Vegapunk, who was imprisoned by the World Government and subjected to various kinds of research, was not exactly a law-abiding citizen.

After all, no one would willingly be imprisoned and subjected to research.

They might even be doing research they don't really like.

I understand that.

Dragon nodded without any surprise. "Big Bear has already informed me of this situation."

The bear, who had lost consciousness before being fully modified but retained its soul through Link's gadgets, pretended to be an emotionless robot and gathered intelligence in Mary Geoise.

Therefore, he would quickly find out what happened in that place.

However, the fact that even the Great Bear could detect this means that Vegapunk's whereabouts have been almost completely exposed.

This means that the World Government may also be aware of Vegapunk's restless thoughts.

It's unclear what measures they will take next in response to this situation.

"I will arrange for Sabo to contact Vegapunk."

Dorag casually asked, "When he contacted you before, did he come in person?"

"No~"

Lindberg shook his head. "It was his alter ego, the one who represents 'positive,' named 'Shaka,' who contacted us."

Vegapunk was incredibly intelligent, but also extremely busy, with endless research to do.

As the proverb goes, they even want to borrow a cat's paw.

It's truly a wish that you could split a person in two.

So, Vegapunk came up with a brilliant idea:

Why not just divide yourself into six different individuals and conduct different research in each?

In other words, Vegapunk has six artificial super-intelligent clones in addition to his main body.

They—no, they are—are like the pacifists, numbered from PUNK-01 to PUNK-06, a total of six artificial super-intelligent clones.

They represent: [Right] Shaka, [Evil] Lilith, [Thought] Edison, [Knowledge] Pythagoras, [Violence] Atlas, and [Lust] Koku.

These six clones have different names, and you can tell from their attributes that they each represent different personalities and wills.

Vegapunk's technique had reached an incredibly sophisticated level.

No matter how absurd the idea, once it's in that man's hands, everything becomes irrelevant.

Therefore, he was also known as "the most useful man in the world".

"Things like Vegapunk are fine, we can discuss those later..."

Ivankov, the transvestite king, slammed his hand on the table and said in a serious tone:

"What on earth just happened?!"

After Dorag caught his breath, Ivankov couldn't help but ask impatiently.

"What exactly happened in Baltimore?!"

"Why were they suddenly erased from the map, and why is there no sign of their existence at all?!"

"In fact, if we hadn't discovered some remnants of an island, we might have even doubted whether an island ever existed in that place at all!"

"What the hell does this happen?!"

What's going on...?

Upon hearing Ivankov mention Baldigo, Dorag's expression suddenly turned solemn.

He still can't forget the sixteen terrifying bolts of lightning that shone in the sky amidst the dark clouds, enough to destroy the entire island—a scene resembling divine punishment!

To be honest, even he himself didn't know what had happened.

It wasn't until he was on the run with Sabo that the latter told him some things.

It also allowed him to glimpse a small part of the true nature of this world, hidden behind the scenes.

"The specific situation is as follows~"

797 Immediately, Dorrag slowly recounted what had happened at that time, while everyone was almost holding their breath.

~~~~~~~~~

On the open sea, the ideology and revolution of communism stirred up waves that were indescribable and surging.

It can be said that the world is in turmoil, and the times are changing too fast. Almost overnight, different winds are blowing.

Whether it's member states of the World Government, ordinary countries and islands that haven't joined, or travelers, merchants, and pirates wandering the seas, etc.

Almost all of them were influenced and impacted by this wave, and thus made behaviors that were completely inconsistent with their previous ones.

Therefore, their actions have brought unimaginable changes to the world.

And those most impacted by this situation are naturally the supreme power over this ocean, the rulers of the world, the world government.

And their most powerful violent organization, the navy, which suppresses this sea.

And now~

[A huge thank you again to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the generous donation!!!]

775 Naval Headquarters Situation: A Demobilization Frenzy! Sakazuki's Head aching terribly!!

The entire Naval Headquarters, a place converted from the new G1 base.

It could be said that dark clouds were gathering.

No, or rather, it was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Those who originally joined the navy as soldiers were mostly ambitious individuals dedicated to protecting the world and eliminating evil.

Almost every one of them possesses a strong sense of justice in protecting the people, which is to say, a belief in and pursuit of justice.

Therefore, under this revolutionary wave and red ideology sweeping the world, the navy was naturally inevitably affected as well.

And, more importantly...

Because most of those who joined the navy were righteous people, they were also the most profoundly influenced by this ideological wave.
