The Celestial Dragons' Revolutionary Flame
"The Celestial Dragons actually made way for someone else! My God, am I insane or has the world gone mad?" Someone slammed their head against the ground in a frenzy, as if trying to wake themselves from a dream.
"Even if the opponent is Shichibukai, given the Celestial Dragons' personalities, they would never back down."
"Could it be that Nightmare Roy's hidden identity is actually a high-ranking Celestial Dragons?" some people wondered, their imaginations running wild.
"It's really good that nothing bad happened." The Navy felt relieved but also somewhat disappointed. Subconsciously, they had fantasized about the Celestial Dragons suffering.
"Dad, I feel like something really important just happened, and I feel a bit empty inside," Charloss asked with a simple, honest look.
"Charloss, do you feel the same way? I thought it was just my imagination."
"It must be these lowly commoners who have polluted your vision. Come on, let's go and see that rare large-scale auction later," Rosward said.
The other end of the street.
Enel scoffed, "Can such trash really be called a descendant of gods?"
"To have the Celestial Dragons make way for us, this trip has truly been worthwhile." A smile crept onto Crocodile the Sand's lips.
"Is it because the captain manipulated their senses?" Robin asked, but she was actually quite certain.
"Haha, that's not all. I also left them a little gift." Roy said with a smirk, "If the Celestial Dragons join the Revolutionary Army in the future, it will definitely be Big News Morgans."
Everyone was shocked. They had clearly underestimated Roy's limits. Making these Celestial Dragons look bad wasn't enough; he was going to drag them down into an abyss.
But the thought of the Celestial Dragons cheering for the Revolutionary Army filled everyone with anticipation.
This isn't just Big News Morgans; it's earth-shattering! While Doflamingo's pirate identity is a stain on the Celestial Dragons, it's relatively unknown. If a Celestial Dragons were to openly join the Revolutionary Army, that would be a true Great Earthquake, undoubtedly putting the World Government in the spotlight. Even the Five Elders, with their excellent self-control, would likely be unable to contain their anger.
"However, we can't rush things, otherwise everyone will suspect me, and that won't be fun." Roy smiled sinisterly, a perfect villainous boss template. "Anyway, I've already planted the seeds of revolution in their hearts. As for when it will spread like wildfire, that's up to their fate."
"Captain, are you optimistic about the future of the Revolutionary Army?" Crocodile the Sand's expression was solemn. He knew that Roy was secretly an ally of the Revolutionary Army.
"No, in my opinion, the Revolutionary Army may be able to shake the foundations of the World Government, but it is still unrealistic to completely overthrow World Government. Without a revolutionary program and revolutionary ideals, a revolutionary wave stirred up by passion alone is difficult to sustain."
Everyone was completely bewildered. Wasn't the Revolutionary Army supposed to overthrow the unequal rule of the World Government? What kind of principles or ideology was this?
In Roy's view, Revolutionary Army without a revolutionary program and revolutionary ideology is not much different from the peasant uprisings of his previous life.
Even if the World Government is not so deeply entrenched that it is difficult to overthrow, and the Revolutionary Army ultimately wins, the most likely scenario is that it will still evolve into a second World Government.
Without the support of revolutionary ideals, these uprising forces inevitably fostered corrupt regimes as they grew and expanded.
Even if high-ranking Revolutionary Army like Dragon and Sabo can remain clear-headed, who can guarantee that the lower ranks of the Revolutionary Army can resist temptation? Who can guarantee that the successor of the Revolutionary Army will not become the next Celestial Dragons?
The Pirate World boasts formidable combat power and cutting-edge technology, but it lacks advanced ideologies. Under such circumstances, transitioning from feudalism to a more progressive level of civilization is undoubtedly unrealistic.
Moreover, even Roy's previous life did not achieve true equality. Roy did not believe that his wisdom alone could surpass the thinking of the sages of his previous life over thousands of years. Therefore, he never thought of throwing himself into the revolutionary wave of the Pirate World. He was just trying to realize his own ambition.
"If that's the case, why are you still helping the Revolutionary Army, Captain?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Roy explained, "No matter what, the Revolutionary Army is the only entity that can make the World Government feel troubled. Only when the Revolutionary Army grows stronger will the living space and voice of neutral parties like us expand further. This sea has been calm for far too long; perhaps it's time to let it start to riot."
Everyone was stunned by Roy's words, especially the information that Roy intentionally or unintentionally revealed, which seemed to indicate that their captain had a goal that was even greater than becoming the Pirate Kings.
"Captain, you really don't seem like a pirate." Robin looked at Roy with a half-smile; she had never had a good impression of the World Government.
"Overthrow the World Government'? That's a taboo that no one has dared to touch for centuries. One wrong step and you'll be smashed to pieces. But I like it." Crocodile the Sand felt his blood begin to stir.
"Is this the captain's goal? He not only wants to become the Nightmare of pirates, but also the Nightmare of the world!" Harvey couldn't hide his excitement, and at the same time, he was secretly moved. The captain's willingness to talk about such a taboo topic with a newcomer like him without any hesitation was undoubtedly a great trust, which made him feel the urge to die for a friend.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the reason Roy trusted him so much was because if he harbored any rebellious thoughts, he would instantly fall into an endless cycle of dreams.
The Sabaody Archipelago's 1st to 29th peninsulas are all dark areas of human trafficking, filled with bloodshed and violence. But with Roy's arrival, those underground forces quickly retreated into the shadows, and the streets were peaceful. This made those who came here for the first time feel strange. Could it be that the terrifying rumors about the 1st peninsula were all false information?
"Your Excellency Lord Roy, your arrival will surely bring great honor to our 1st Auction House. Someone, quickly prepare the most prestigious VIP seat for Your Lord Roy." The slave owner who had previously delivered the message to Roy performed a very practiced prostration, which aroused suspicion among many of the people who had come to participate in the auction. Could it be Celestial Dragons?
Roy nodded slightly and followed the slave owner inside.
Although Roy disliked these human traffickers, he had no intention of destroying this place. If the Celestial Dragons, the source of darkness, could not be eradicated, it would be meaningless to destroy any number of human auctions. New darkness would still grow on the ruins. They were simply transferring their suffering onto people who were even more miserable.
