On a distant island.

Sabo and his comrades were Teleport together.

"Is this the power of the Door-Door Fruit?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

Sabo took out his pocket watch.

"Second Uncle..."

His eyes were red and filled with tears.

"Sabo, try to take it easy..."

Hack patted him on the shoulder. "He went to such lengths for you, you should hold on to your love and cheer up!"

Sabo nodded, though his heart was filled with anguish, he had to suppress his grief and pull himself together.

He was the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.

Now, in addition to righteousness, personal feelings have also taken hold, and Sabo vows to personally bury this distorted era.

"Although there were many unexpected events and sacrifices, but..."

Sabo's gaze was resolute. "We have not failed this mission!"

He took out Den Den Mushi) and turned on the live stream of the military recruitment broadcast...

Hannyabal's eyes were filled with tears of regret.

"It's all over, everything's over!"

"My plans to get promoted and make a fortune are completely ruined!"

Hannyabal was even contemplating his miserable end, being demoted to a lowly jailer and forced to clean Magellan's chamber pot.

He was horrified to discover that the live stream signal had been hijacked.

Akainu arrived too late; the Revolutionary Army had already succeeded!

I should have involved the Navy in the live broadcast project from the beginning; maybe then we could have shifted the blame to them.

Hannyabal covered his head, and the horns on his forehead drooped.

In the live broadcast, the signal from the recruitment site was cut off, and the scene was replaced with footage of the World Government organizing slaves to build a massive bridge that would last for 700 years.

Countries unable to pay the Heavenly Tribute are enslaved, their people imprisoned for life on this massive bridge, engaged in a perpetually endless and meaningless engineering project.

The scene shifts to a welfare home somewhere in the East Blue.

Gangplank, the Shigure of the East Blue, with a scimitar at his waist and Fire Pistol musket in hand, pressed the muzzle against the head of a priest.

Beside him was a brown-skinned girl wearing goggles and a nun's habit. (See picture)

The video includes timely text explanations.

She was none other than Ahiru, the deputy commander of the Revolutionary Army's "East Army," who had infiltrated this so-called "welfare home" under the guise of a nun.

Ahiru looked at the burly man beside her with a bandit-like air, but her eyes were full of admiration.

"I never expected that you, the 'Overlord of the East Blue,' would discover the evil here before our East Army even made a move!"

The camera rotates.

Behind the two were dozens of abused, emaciated children covered in wounds.

And those protecting them were actually members of the Gangplank Pirates.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me! I work for the World Government!"

The priest, trembling, made the sign of the cross on his chest. "God will punish you! God's descendants live in Mary Geoise, God's descendants will punish you!"

Bang!

Gangplank pulled the trigger, ending the sinful life of this seemingly respectable Human Traffickers.

The scene then shifts to the next location...

Hannyabal watched the video and slumped back in his chair.

At that moment, he desperately wished the network in the live stream would crash.

However, Big Bird Technology is trustworthy.

The network was not only not lagging, but incredibly smooth.

The live chat was already exploding with all sorts of comments, from the suffering victims to the ambitious individuals stirring up trouble, and even many ordinary people expressing their anger and joining in the commotion.

"The Revolutionary Army, they're going to kill me!"

Hannyabal felt that the issue was no longer whether he would be devalued.

He had a premonition that after this major incident, he might not even be qualified to serve Magellan, and might end up in prison with Shiryu of the Rain.

At that time, I'll see how those prisoners bullied me in return!

Hannyabal was terrified.

In contrast to Hannyabal's mood, Sabo and his comrades were in high spirits.

They accomplished their mission, exposing the ugly side of the world to the public.

Revealing these facts is not enough to shake the foundations of World Government.

Because the world of One Piece is not a harmonious, loving, or law-abiding society to begin with.

Only in a society with a certain foundation of the rule of law and basic etiquette and morality can exposing darkness cause a great uproar.

However, if the world is inherently dark enough, or if it is a society where the strong prey on the weak and follow the law of the jungle, then people's threshold for tolerance will be much higher.

Even so, this operation was a major victory for the Revolutionary Army in the battle for public opinion, raising the banner of the Revolutionary Army.

According to the video produced by Koala, the next character to appear should be Monkey D. Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, making his final declaration.

However...

Galley-La Guesthouse Restaurant.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Ma Qiao is such a kind person, he actually ordered so many delicious desserts for me before he left!"

Marshall D. Teach sat on a wide bench, dipping white Sugar into glutinous rice-stuffed pork intestines wrapped in bamboo leaves, and stuffing them into his mouth in large mouthfuls.

The other Jianghu arts practitioners from all over the world who were stranded in the City of Water 7 for various reasons all avoided this big, fat, dark-skinned man.

Teach is a low-key person and has always played the role of a nice guy, which is true.

However, his low profile was relative to the other crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Or, when facing figures like Ma Qiao's gang who are clearly not to be trifled with, Teach would choose to put on a warm and friendly face.

As for these cats and dogs that came from who-knows-where, Teach wouldn't give them a friendly look.

Many people have been Riot Games by Teach for disturbing his sweets.

So now, Teach has the best spot all to himself, enjoying his meal while watching TV.

Although it was called a television, the screen was actually showing a live broadcast of conscription taking place several kilometers away in the city's central square.

"Hahaha!"

"That little wench who leaves traps everywhere is really something. When I get rich, I'll take her home as my wife!"

While eating his large intestine rice dumpling, Teach stared at Caitlyn's long, fair legs on the screen with a lecherous look on his face, unaware that sticky rice was leaking out from the gaps between his front teeth.

"Who does this guy think he is? Do you think young and pretty female sailors from the Marine Headquarters would be interested in you?"

In a corner, the other pirates whispered among themselves.

"Snort!"

Teach scoffed, "Do you even know what dreams are? What romance is? A man's dreams... they never end... huh?"

Just then, Teach suddenly noticed that the live stream footage began to distort and freeze violently.

A short while later, the video returned to normal, but the content was no longer a recruitment scene.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious, so incredibly funny!"

"Let chaos reign! Let madness reign! Let revelry!"

"Only when this sea becomes increasingly chaotic can the venomous snakes lurking in the shadows find their most delicious prey!"

Teach didn't even have time to peel off the bamboo leaves before stuffing the rice dumplings into his mouth, watching the live broadcast with great interest as the situation suddenly changed.

The turmoil in the world situation is perfect for a schemer like Teach.

The more chaotic things are, the greater the opportunity to profit from the chaos.

"If only I could get that fruit... if only I could get that fruit..."

Teach pulled the exquisite card from his pocket.

Who is the most well-informed person in the world?

Those are journalists, of course.

Although it was just a fleeting moment without any close-up shots, Teach had already seen Ma Qiao chatting and laughing with various news moguls via live stream.

"Brother Ma Qiao is a really honest guy!"

Teach sucked a piece of intestine back from between his teeth, weighing in his mind whether or not to ask him to help find out the whereabouts of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

After much deliberation, the naturally shrewd Teach ultimately decided that he still couldn't trust anyone.

Only by continuing to keep a low profile and lie low can we remain invincible.

However...

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a very familiar laugh snapped Teach out of his reverie.

Who's imitating my laughter?

Teach looked around, trying to find out which petty thief was up to no good.

However, Teach noticed that almost everyone's gaze was rapidly switching between themselves and the screen.

Moreover, the more they switched between these expressions, the more their eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions, including greed, reverence, admiration, and shock.

Teach realized something and quickly looked up at the screen.

Who else could it be but himself standing on the podium on the screen?

No, absolutely not!

Although that person's appearance is absolutely identical to mine.

But that person's figure...

At this moment, Blackbeard and Da Sima, who had just seen "Muscle Golden Wheel," shared a similar feeling.

The big, fat black guy has turned into Muscular Teach!

His head was pressed onto the dragon's body!

AI face-swapping could fool many people even in the era before Ma Qiao's time travel. But if it were the early days of the internet, around 2000, and a muscle-bound Golden Wheel appeared, Teacher Ma would be in a situation where he couldn't clear his name no matter what.

Teach the same way at that moment.

"You have to believe me... The person in the video isn't me, it's not me!"

Teach desperately tried to explain to the people in the cafeteria who were looking at him with increasingly strange expressions.

It wasn't that Teach was afraid of these people, but rather that he subconsciously wanted to distance himself from them.

I have absolutely no connection with the Revolutionary Army!

In his plans, if he wanted to dominate the seas in the future, both the Revolutionary Army and the Whitebeard Pirates would be targets to be eliminated.

"I am Marshall D. Teach, a veteran member of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

In the video, 'Teach' introduces himself.

Everyone in the cafeteria gasped in astonishment. "You're actually a member of that legendary pirate crew, the Whitebeard Pirates! Brother Teach, you've been hiding this for a long time!"

"No, I'm not... well, I really am just an insignificant nobody in the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Teach was on the verge of tears, "But I really didn't film any video like that!"

"Hahaha, a person's dreams never end!"

In the video, 'Teach' says the same things that Teach had said just three minutes earlier.

Even Teach was speechless now.

He slumped down on the bench, looking dejected.

Thirty years...

They kept a low profile for a full thirty years...

How so...

Teach couldn't understand why those beasts in the Revolutionary Army would want to kill an honest man like him!

But what 'Teach' said next almost scared Teach out of Teach wits.

In the video, the 'Teach' appears quite passionate and speaks eloquently:

"I once fought against two Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks and Emperor Clown Buggy, single-handedly and held my own."

"The three scars on Red-Haired Shanks' left eye were inflicted by me; that guy even uses them as a symbol of his pirate flag."

"My strength in the Whitebeard Pirates was enough to make me second, but I was relegated to the subordinate position of that newcomer, Fire Fist Ace, who was ranked last among the Worst Generation in the East Blue, and I had to call him Captain Ace."

"But I don't care about any of that, I'm happy with it!"

"Because for the past thirty years, I've been silently protecting my Pops's pirate crew and Pops dream!"

"I am the number one filial son of that Whitebeard Pirates!"

"And today, I have no choice but to step forward."

"Because a new era has arrived, I, the dutiful son Marshall D. Teach, must find a new era's ship large enough to carry my Pops!"

"Therefore, I was the one who facilitated the alliance between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army!"

"..."

In the video, 'Teach' is still talking incessantly.

In the cafeteria, Teach collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Teach! I never knew you were such an amazing person!"

"Brother Teach! I was so presumptuous of me to mock your dream before, please forgive my foolishness!"

"Brother Teach! I admire Pops too, and I want to be his son, no, his grandson! Brother Teach, can I ask you to be my father?"

"Brother Teach..."

A group of lowly pirate lackeys surrounded Teach like fervent fans seeing a celebrity.

Teach's old face, stained with grease, had lost its luster, and he let the fans crowd around him.

"Brother Teach, help! The Red Dog!"

"Brother Teach, the alliance between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army depends entirely on your mediation! You can't abandon us, Brother Teach!"

Just then, two voices came from outside the cafeteria.

Teach finally snapped, shoving aside the rotten fish and shrimp around him and yelling towards the door, "Are you guys ever going to stop? What kind of bullshit Red Dog is this? Why doesn't it go eat shit? What does it want with me... I'll boil it!"

Upon seeing the scene outside the door, Teach turned and ran.

But Tahm Kench's big feet were incredibly fast; with a leap, he landed right beside him.

And what followed closely was:

"Hell Hound!"

Akainu's molten arm, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of melting everything, unleashed a heatwave that distorted and warped space itself, striking towards Tahm Kench and the others, including Teach.

Teach instinctively took a step back, trying to hide behind the crowd.

But Tahm Kench was faster than him.

Abyssal Dive, and when they reappeared, they were already pressed tightly against Teach's broad back. "Brother Teach, you're so kind! We're so grateful!"

"I'll blanch your grandma!"

Boom!

Teach cursed, but before he could even raise his arms to protect himself, Akainu's "Hell Hound" slammed into him.
