Passing the Buck Like Pros
Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
"The Revolutionary Army Dragon, this man's thoughts are terrifying. In five or six years, he will definitely be the greatest enemy of our World Government'..." A king solemnly warned, holding a picture of a dragon.
Although the World Government had long been aware of the Revolutionary Army's threat and was pursuing them at all costs, in order to maintain their dignity, they rarely revealed or publicized this man, whom they defined as the world's most vicious criminal.
But the world has never lacked intelligent people. As the Revolutionary Army's momentum grew and the revolutionary wave continued to rise, the corrupt rule of many kingdoms was overthrown. Naturally, some people realized the threat this force posed to the World Government.
The other kings were either dismissive, cautious, or indifferent, and the hall soon became noisy and chaotic as they expressed their opinions, leading to a variety of conflicting views and no consensus.
Cobra, however, remained aloof, observing the situation with detached indifference and silence, giving off an air of detachment from the world.
But upon closer inspection, one can see a human-shaped reflection deep within his pupils, mysterious and profound.
"It's all the same old stuff, just endless bickering. It seems this Reverie won't yield any valuable information." Roy shook his head, having little hope for the Reverie. After all, these kings all knew very little, and it was practically impossible to glean any valuable information from their discussions.
"Fortunately, this Reverie will last for seven days, which is enough time for me to 'manipulate' and operate it."
As night fell, all was quiet.
"This is the seventh one. What kind of things are these Celestial Dragons thinking?" Roy, who was wandering in the dream, was speechless. The memories of these Celestial Dragons were basically just three things: eating, sleeping, and playing with women (men). There was no valuable information at all.
"It seems we have no choice but to go deeper? But..." Roy, in his illusory state, stepped out of the Celestial Dragons' dream, leaned against the window, and looked at the deeper God Realm, his eyes filled with apprehension. "A mental barrier? I didn't expect the World Government's technology to have developed to this level. Is it always like this, or is it simply to guard against me? Whatever the reason, my plan to directly infiltrate the dreams of those important figures among the Celestial Dragons has completely failed."
"It seems we still need to find a scapegoat and inhabit his body to sneak in. Even the kings attending the Reverie can't enter the Celestial Dragon Gate leading to the God Realm. If we want to sneak in, we can only find Celestial Dragons or one of the CP0 members to be the scapegoat."
"If it were Celestial Dragons, it would be too conspicuous, and every move would easily attract attention. If it were CP0, it would be much better. After all, even the big figures among the Celestial Dragons, such as the Five Elders, still need CP0 to handle their affairs, making it much easier to infiltrate."
"Although some of CP0 members are my people, it's best not to use them now. It would be easy for them to trace it back to me." The CP0 Fursis, who is controlled by Roy in Alabasta, has helped him develop many subordinates in the past two years. But the Five Elders aren't idiots. If Fursis really gets into trouble, it would be easy for them to suspect me. "Therefore, the best way is to find a CP0 member with a questionable background who has no connection to me."
Roy quickly sprang into action, leaping among the vibrant dreamscapes around him, carefully avoiding the central area shrouded by the mental barrier.
"Huh? This guy is actually... Revolutionary Army?" Roy was surprised. He didn't expect that even the most loyal "hounds" of the World Government had been recruited by the Revolutionary Army as comrades. You know, for such die-hards, Talk no Jutsu is almost useless. Even he could only control a part of CP0 by relying on his Devil Fruit Ability. It seems that the Revolutionary Army's brainwashing ability is really amazing. Compared to it, those pyramid schemes in his previous life are child's play.
Roy lingered in the dream of this guy who had successfully infiltrated the enemy, hesitating to move forward. "Someone with two identities like him is undoubtedly the best cover. Even if my operation fails in the end, the World Government will only suspect the Revolutionary Army."
"Very well, it's your choice, Pikachu..."
Although he was an "ally" of the Revolutionary Army, Roy remained calm. Aren't teammates just for betraying?
Besides, the Revolutionary Army is already so weak that they don't care about the debts anymore. Even if this didn't happen, would the World Government not attack the Revolutionary Army? He did this just to give the Revolutionary Army's "allies" more experience. They will surely be "deeply grateful" after they know his good intentions.
After thinking it over, Roy quickly accepted his "ally's" legacy with a clear conscience.
"Is this guy named Kivis? Looks like he holds a pretty high position in CP0!" Kivis suddenly woke up on the ship, his eyes flashing with a seven-colored light, which quickly subsided and he returned to normal. "CP0 also has its own system. If we compare it to the Marine Headquarters, 'I' am now at the level of a Vice Admiral, specifically responsible for guarding the Holy Land and also for passing messages to the Five Elders and other big shots. No wonder I can infiltrate the God Realm."
At the same time, Roy also learned from Kivis's memories that CP0 has one Chief of Staff, corresponding to the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and four Deputy Director-General, corresponding to the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. Among them, the two who attacked Roy on Whole Cake Island were two of CP0's four aces.
In some respects, the CP0 Deputy Director-General's direct combat strength is inferior to that of Admiral, but his difficulty in dealing with him is no less than that of an admiral.
Because Marine Admiral are promoted as the world's highest fighting force, they cannot afford to fail. Therefore, each of them has extremely balanced strength and almost no weaknesses.
But the Deputy Director-General of CP0 are different. They are lurking in the shadows and follow an extreme path. They are abnormally strong in their strengths and pitifully weak in their weaknesses.
Logan, for example, has a healing ability comparable to Kaido, but his attack and speed are not even as good as Enel and Katakuri. His soul is also a fatal weakness. Floyd is similar. He is extremely weak in direct combat, but if he controls a powerful "puppet", he can even have the combat power of Four Emperors for a short period of time, which is unpredictable.
"CP0's two Deputy Director-General have fallen on Whole Cake Island, and the other two have gone to rescue them. The only one still in the Holy Land is the most mysterious president, who can only be contacted by the four aces." Roy read through Kivis's memories and pondered, "The Holy Land is undefended, which is indeed the best time to infiltrate. It seems that we can set off tomorrow."
Notice: I should finish writing the World Government part of the story tomorrow, and then we can officially enter the Great Pirate Era the day after tomorrow.
