One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 203 I searched high and low, but found it without any effort.

The Revolutionary Army is known as the only organization capable of overthrowing the World Government, and is also the World Government's greatest threat.

Its nature differs from that of pirates, because pirates generally do not provoke the Navy and the government, but the Revolutionary Army will plot to overthrow the government of a country, so it has a long history of fighting and winning against the World Government.

Its leader, Monkey D. Dragon, is known by the World Government as the most vicious criminal.

But this is all for later.

Right now, not only are other people unaware of the existence of such an organization, but even the world government is unaware of its existence.

But who could have imagined that the organization that Dragon built would later pose a real threat to the World Government?

The Revolutionary Army also appeared in the bounty list issued by the Navy.

It's really hard to say whether or not someone will rebel.

If you fail, you are a traitor; if you succeed, you are the savior of the world.

This is almost a complete consequentialism.

If the situation of the revolutionary army is reported, then this organization is likely to be in big trouble.

However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, Roman gave up.

The dragon's identity is too sensitive; it could easily create a political vortex, and the dragon himself might get caught up in it.

Moreover, to be fair, the world government has not done a good job, and it is normal for the people to have grievances and for their calls to action to be answered.

However, without the ability to confront hostile organizations, it only increases pointless sacrifices and serves no purpose.

Judging from the current situation, the revolutionary army is in the process of recruiting soldiers.

Is the target Fishman Island this time?

It seems that Long Guang's plan to plant spies is not enough; he wants to make even bigger moves.

I have no idea what else they want to do.

……

“Bru bru…”

"Ivankov, how's it going?" The Den Den Mushi immediately mimicked the majestic face of a dragon.

"Don't worry, this is a small matter that we have completely under control. However, it's a bit unfortunate that some naval personnel have arrived," Ivankov reported truthfully.

"Navy? What is their purpose?"

"It seems to be a large-scale family visit, but it also seems to be preparation for the next merman recruitment drive. And it seems that some merman navy family members have already decided to go to Marineford. Dragon, it seems the navy has really succeeded. But this situation is not good for us," Ivankov replied again.

The Navy is under the World Government's control. Regardless of the extent of the underhanded dealings between the two, they are outwardly united.

If the navy's prestige and strength are enhanced, this can also be reflected back to the World Government.

"We'll talk about that later. Since you're on Mermaid Island, do you know anything about the naval personnel coming and going here?"

Although Kuma has been placed in the Navy, he is, after all, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his time in Marineford is limited, so the intelligence he can gather is currently very limited. Furthermore, allowing him to contact the Fish-Men would be far too obvious.

Ever since the Navy began recruiting soldiers from Fishman Island and intentionally erased the basic information of the participating Navy personnel, Dragon knew that there was more to it than met the eye.

"Speaking of which, there is one person among them that I am very concerned about. A navy officer went directly to the Merfolk royal palace, and I heard that the king and queen personally received him."

Hearing this, the dragon understood what was going on.

So the last recruitment drive was probably facilitated by this naval officer.

Dragon is equally concerned about both existing and future combat capabilities within the navy.

Kuzan, Borsalino, Sakazuki, Gion, and Kakei are all on Dragon's watch list.

Because in the future, there is a high probability that we will have direct conflict with them. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"He must be very young."

"Absolutely right. They said she looks exactly like a little girl. But this little girl managed to teach all the bullies in Fishman Street a lesson."

Sure enough, Long immediately understood.

With youth and strength, they represent a major future force for the navy.

If Long Xin were more ruthless and unscrupulous, he would most likely order Ivankov to kill Roman here to prevent this future threat from interfering with his organization.

However, Dragon deeply understands that his enemy is not the Navy. Even if this person is a member of the World Government, he should not kill him unless there is something else going on.

Many things cannot be done simply because there is a reason.

"Let's observe for a while and see if we can get any information."

"That's a surprise. I thought you would coldly order me to kill that child."

"If there really is a conflict, it will be in the future, but before that, we must be clear that our enemy is not the navy."

“I know, you mean the World Government? By the way, should we use one of our newly recruited fish-men to test her? Wouldn't that help us understand her situation faster? Speaking of which, I'm also curious. Why would a little girl be used to advance this recruitment drive? Isn't that strange? Either it's ordered from above, or it's her own idea. If it's the former, then it means that the recent naval policy has changed again. But if it's the latter, the trouble she might cause us in the future is greater than we think.” Ivankov analyzed the situation and told Dragon again.

Long also agrees with this view.

If this young naval officer is not only talented in combat but also has the ability to plan affairs, then her future cannot be regarded as that of a general, but rather as a marshal or chief of staff.

Thinking of the Warring States period, who was on par with his old man, and the Crane, Long also felt that it was a very troublesome situation.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Although it was a bit risky, Long didn't object. Taking risks had been a daily occurrence for him ever since he started the revolution.

"Don't worry, there's a kid named Haku who's not bad, and he's a soldier in the royal palace. He should be able to make contact with that marine, so there shouldn't be any problems. And although it's an ideal situation, wouldn't it be even better if that girl didn't have any loyalty to the World Government?"

……

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

I was still figuring out how to approach you, and then you just showed up at my doorstep.

What a coincidence!

Roman smiled as she looked at Haku, who had come to her of his own accord.
