"Especially you, Sabo!!!"

Haku deliberately pointed at Sabo, and while saying this, Haku even glanced at the dragon!

This wasn't just something said to Sabo alone; Dragon also heard it after meeting Haku's gaze.

He nodded almost imperceptibly!

Sabo frowned, not understanding why Haku would say such things to him.

Before he could ask, Haku said, "I know you're curious, but I still hope you'll handle the Revolutionary Army's affairs properly."

Sabo remained silent. As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, he naturally guessed from Haku's few words that what Haku said was most likely related to him!

So what could possibly be related to him?

Sabo thought about it carefully.

First, Haku initially said that the Four Blues was about to descend into chaos and told him, or the Revolutionary Army to get involved!

Moreover, the fact that Haku specifically mentioned him also indirectly proves that the events that caused chaos Four Blues are inextricably linked to him!

What could have prompted Haku to specifically warn him?

Sabo stared at Haku until his eyes lit up.

He'd figured it out: the only things he could get involved in were related to Ace or Luffy!

Haku understood Sabo's inner thoughts perfectly.

He couldn't help but admire Sabo's intellect as the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army!

To avoid future trouble, Haku planned to bring it up with Dragon later.

Haku glanced around, then said, "Alright, let's get down to business!"

He organized his thoughts and continued, "Although I haven't joined your Revolutionary Army, I didn't know you had reached such a level."

"However, as I said before, time is running out for your Revolutionary Army, and that's absolutely true!"

After a moment of contemplation, Long asked, "So, exactly how much time do we have left?"

Haku answered directly, "More than two years!"

The Crow strained its unpleasant voice and said, "What about two years from now? Does that mean we'll be at war with the World Government in two years?"

Haku snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, it's two years from now. That is, after the World Government meeting, your Revolutionary Army will declare war on the World Government!"

Dragon frowned and said, "Haku, isn't the time too tight? Based on our current situation, the Revolutionary Army's resources can't support declaring war on the World Government in such a short time!"

Haku turned to look at Dragon and said, "But in two years, there will only be one chance for the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the World Government! If you really want to stay in Baltigo..."

"Then this sea world will no longer have Stage for the Revolutionary Army!"

Betty scoffed, saying with a laugh, "You're talking nonsense. How can you be so sure the Four Blues Seas are going to descend into chaos? And what makes you think we should just declare war on the World Government because you say so?"

Haku retorted nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, I've already said it. Whether you do it or not is up to you, and I..." Haku shrugged, offering no further explanation.

Dragon glanced at Haku and asked, "Since we're going to war with the World Government, what about the Pirates at sea?"

"You should know that these Pirates aren't exactly peaceful people!"

Haku curled her lip dismissively and said, "They're none of your concern. When the time comes, I'll settle accounts with them!"

Dragon nodded, though he didn't say it aloud, he was actually somewhat skeptical of Haku's words.

However, he believed that Haku was not one to speak without reason; if she said so, there must be some truth to it.

Dragon took a deep breath and looked at Haku again, saying, "What are our chances of winning a war against the World Government two years from now?"

Instead of answering directly, Haku asked, "What do you think of the Revolutionary Army's strength right now?"

Long remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Although we have forces secretly supporting us in various places, our real fighting power is still concentrated in the army under our own command."

"Compared to the World Government, our strength is still somewhat insufficient."

Haku nodded in agreement. "That's right, your current strength is indeed insufficient to wage a full-scale war against the World Government."

"But things will be different two years from now." A glint of insight flashed in Haku's eyes. "The world two years from now will be a completely new world."

Betty listened to Haku's words, but she still felt very unconvinced.

After understanding Betty's personality, Haku didn't hold a grudge against her!

He understood that the Eastern Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army only distrusted him because he had not formally joined the Revolutionary Army.

Who can blame Haku for still being Marine Admiral!

Long took a deep breath and said to Haku, "Okay, we believe you. So, what preparations do we need to make over the next two years?"

Haku pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "First, you need to continue expanding your influence and secretly support more forces."

"At the same time, we must strengthen our military capabilities, purchase more weapons, and improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers."

"Secondly, you need to closely monitor developments around the world, especially those powers that could potentially become our allies."

"Finally, and most importantly, you need to remain vigilant to prevent covert infiltration and sabotage by the World Government."

"However, I don't need to worry too much about the last one. Since arriving in Baltigo, I haven't detected anyone from the World Government, which surprises me a bit!"

Dragon nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that what Haku said was crucial, and they would follow Haku's advice.

Betty retorted defiantly, "This is what we've been doing all along, and what about you?!"

"This woman..." Haku thought to herself, speechless.

However, he still said, "My situation is much simpler. I'll handle the Four Emperors of the Sea myself. And I'll also deal with the Three Ancient Weapons, Pluton and Poseidon!"

Betty was a little embarrassed; the Four Emperors Haku had mentioned already made her feel uneasy.

Now, add two of the Ancient Weapon.

Wait, two?

Sabo excitedly uttered the question Betty wanted to ask, "Haku, do you know the whereabouts of the Three Ancient Weapons?"

Haku nodded and said, "I know the whereabouts of Pluton and Poseidon. To prevent these two things from falling into the hands of the World Government, so..."
