Give Them a Lesson! Dragon's Fury

A massive swarm of snails connected on the sea surface to form an enormous floating island, its size easily surpassing that of some smaller islands.

The buildings on the floating island are densely packed, with almost no gaps visible at a glance. All the buildings are crammed together, creating a somewhat nauseatingly crowded layout. People with trypophobia might faint if they looked down from above.

At that moment, huge waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface on one side of the floating island.

Boom!

A gigantic monster suddenly burst out of the water, raised its head towards the sky, and let out a powerful roar.

This is a huge lion, with a lion's mane and claws, but its lower body is a huge fish tail.

It was not alone; one after another, enormous monsters burst from the water, roaring impatiently.

They are sea monsters, wild beasts living in the sea. They are far inferior to Sea Beast in size and intelligence, but they have one advantage: Fish-Man can communicate with them and thus tame them.

These sea creatures dragged thick iron chains that pulled huge ships out of the sea. The ships were surrounded by huge bubbles, allowing them to sail in the sea.

The sea creatures roared impatiently toward the shore of the floating island.

The shore seemed to be prepared, with identical Clone soldiers throwing large fish off the bank.

The sea creatures immediately began to feast, causing the sea to churn and ripple.

On the large ship at the back, Fisher Tiger stretched. "We arrived safely. Now I can finally take a vacation."

"I'm afraid my vacation will have to be postponed again."

Just then, as if they had heard Fisher Tiger's words, a voice came from the shore, "Fisher Tiger, the Boss wants to see you."

"Ah?"

"Every time I come here, I feel very depressed!"

Fisher Tiger, with Jinbe by his side, followed behind Dylan as they walked among the buildings of the Germa Kingdom. "Couldn't they have made the buildings a little more spaced out?"

He grew up on Fish-Man Island, an island with some of the world's most beautiful scenery, stunning landscapes, and pleasant views.

Compared to Fish-Man Island, this country called Germa Kingdom is simply not a place for humans to live.

It's all just houses, and they're incredibly crowded.

"Unnecessary."

Dylan simply replied, "This country doesn't need beauty, nor does it need comfort; it just needs to operate according to the Boss's vision."

Fisher Tiger smiled nonchalantly.

He had visited this country several times, so he certainly knew its true nature.

The Germa Kingdom is not a country at all.

It was a large military camp and a huge arsenal.

Aside from the executives of the Calamity Company, there are only three types of people in this country: soldiers, workers, and servants.

There were no shops, no schools, not even families.

Because the original inhabitants of this country did not need entertainment, education, or even procreation.

All that's needed is clones; even professions like chefs and doctors have gradually been taken over by clones.

The fate of the indigenous people was simply to quietly disappear.

Of course, before it disappears, the work that needs to be done in the factory must not be reduced in the slightest.

To be honest, Roa is indeed a madman.

Fisher Tiger had never seen anyone so indifferent.

But when I think about it being Roa, it seems reasonable.

After all, he was the most evil person in history.

I wonder what this guy wants this time?

Fisher Tiger sighed softly, "My vacation, oh my god!"

Soon, Dylan led the two to the center of the floating island, where Roa's palace was located.

Inside the palace, Roa was leisurely flipping through a book when he noticed them enter. He immediately sat up straight with delight. "Fisher Tiger, you've come back just in time!"

"Lord Roa,"

Fisher Tiger's tone was very respectful.

Although he was technically Roa's partner, Fisher Tiger, who had a clear understanding of himself and Fish-Man Island, knew very well that if he didn't understand his place and angered Roa, Fish-Man Island would soon face a disaster.

It doesn't matter how much you want to cricket in your heart, but you must show the utmost respect to Roa!

Fisher Tiger kept his head down, avoiding even looking at Roa. "What kind of mission is it now?"

"There's an unexpected situation,"

"There's this guy who keeps delaying payment; it looks like he's trying to renege on his debts," Roa said with a hint of complaint.

"Fisher Tiger, don't you think he's going too far? Our weapons are among the best in the world, high quality and low price, and he still wants to get them for free. Shouldn't such a heartless guy be punished?"

Fisher Tiger thought to himself, "You've forced so many countries and powers into an arms race by selling tons of weapons. Isn't it normal that you're short on funds?"

How many times do you think we've helped you transport troops to militarily collect debts?

"Understood,"

Fisher Tiger nodded slightly. "Where is the target this time?"

"Wow! As expected of Fisher Tiger, he's so reliable!"

Roa chuckled and offered a couple of compliments, then said, "It's the North Blue, but this time the target is a bit different. The Clone soldiers alone aren't enough, so..."

Roa gestured to one side with his chin, "They're going with you too."

Fisher Tiger looked in the direction Roa indicated.

Standing there were the stern-faced Bullet and the more gentle-looking Abel.

Fisher Tiger felt a chill run down his spine.

Roa's two strongest subordinates, Mercury Barrett and Abel, the descendant of a demon, are both world-renowned monsters—one Logia and the other a Mythical Zoan!

Is there anything in North Blue that would warrant their personal involvement?

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Why go to such lengths?

"Should we take care of that guy, Boss?"

Bullet said calmly.

"No, no, no,"

Roa waved his hand repeatedly, laughing, "I have high hopes for that guy. Well, a lesson is enough. Let's bring those androids along too; they'll get some real combat experience."

"Understood."

Abel nodded seriously, "Please rest assured and leave it to us."

Fisher Tiger realized he seemed to have overheard a secret.

What does it mean to place high hopes on someone?

Fisher Tiger didn't understand, but despite his incomprehension, the deep-sea fleet set off immediately, heading towards the North Blue at top speed.

However, when boarding the ship, Fisher Tiger noticed the five Artificial Human Soldiers seemed particularly different from the others.

Although he shares the same face as a regular Clone soldiers, his youth is obvious, and his flamboyant hair is certainly quite distinctive.

Are these the androids that Roa mentioned?

It looks like an evolved and upgraded version of a regular Clone soldiers.

Are there significant differences in abilities?

This speculation was quickly confirmed in subsequent casual conversations with the Clone soldiers.

Mentioning those specially made androids known as Calamity Knights, the ordinary Clone soldiers all wore a twisted look of jealousy.

Fisher Tiger then learned that the five newly born androids possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary clone soldiers, and their lifespan was more than twice that of them.

They became leaders of the Scourge without going through any selection or testing.

However, what the Clone soldiers envied most was that those androids known as the Calamity Knights had no emotions.

Fisher Tiger was initially puzzled, but then he heard the Clone soldiers say with a complicated expression,

"Without emotions, we wouldn't feel pain in our lives, nor despair about our future."

Fisher Tiger remained silent.

What's the point of living if there's no emotion?

Like a walking corpse among colleagues.

But this zombie-like life was something these soldiers longed for.

Roa, that guy seems to derive pleasure simply from watching people suffer.

But despite his lamentations, Fisher Tiger did nothing and couldn't do anything.

North Blue is an island far from major shipping routes, where almost no ships pass by normally.

This should have been a deserted island where no one lived.

But unbeknownst to anyone, a sizable settlement quietly sprang up deep within this lush island.

Tens of thousands of people live here.

They built houses and cultivated farmland here.

But more importantly...

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

A ring road had been built around the settlement, and soldiers in neat uniforms were now panting and struggling to walk along it.

"It's finally starting to look somewhat like it."

Standing by the roadside, Doctor Trafalgar spoke with a touch of emotion.

Dragon stood aside, quietly watching the soldiers training diligently.

A hint of relief was visibly revealed in his eyes. "A lone, scattered force has absolutely no chance of winning against the World Government."

What we need is a truly powerful army!

It may sound harsh, but the Flevance were indeed a very suitable source of soldiers.

Even the moderate Flevance have no doubt about their hatred of the World Government.

Now that someone is leading them, this hatred can be transformed in a suitable way into motivation to move forward.

Soon, Dragon had indeed assembled a qualified army.

However, the Flevance alone are not enough.

Mr. Zephyr is right. To defeat the World Government, we must rely on those in the world who suffer because of the government.

The next step is to use the Self-Respect Army as a foundation to liberate more people, thereby shaking the foundations of the World Government's rule.

"Once the next batch of weapons from the Calamity Company arrives, our army will be fully armed!"

Doctor Trafalgar was somewhat excited, "Now we can begin the next step of the operation!"

"Yes."

Dragon sighed, a hint of joy in his voice, "The period of dormancy should come to an end."

"Haha, speaking of which, I have to thank Roa!"

Doctor Trafalgar suddenly spoke with a hint of mischief, "Without these weapons he sponsored for free, it would probably be a long time before our team could form a fighting force."

Even the usually aloof Dragon couldn't help but smile.

Trafalgar certainly made a good suggestion.

The weapons from the Calamity Company are indeed very useful.

The most interesting thing is that when Roa wants to recover the payment later, he probably won't even know where to look for the person.

For each transaction, they deliberately chose an island that was very far from here.

Brub brub brub.

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi rang.

Um?

Dragon was somewhat surprised; there weren't many people in the world who had his contact information.

He answered the phone.

"Dragon! Let's go!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Zephyr?"

Dragon was taken aback, a sudden urgency rising within him. "What's wrong?"

"Your location has been exposed! Someone reported your whereabouts to the Navy! They said that traces of the Flevance extremists were found on your island!"

Zephyr spoke on the other end of the phone, "The nearby Marine Base is already organizing a fleet to head to your island. If you don't want to clash with them, leave now!"

Dragon's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face became extremely stiff.

"How could this happen!"

Doctor Trafalgar screamed in utter disbelief, "The base we finally managed to build..."

"A base can be rebuilt, but if people are gone, you have nothing left!"

Zephyr instantly snapped, "Don't hesitate, leave now!"

Dragon gripped Den Den Mushi tightly; his earlier cheerful mood had vanished completely.

He didn't even notice the hoarseness in his voice when he spoke, "I understand, Mr. Zephyr."

Soon, one after another, huge ships set sail from the island, heading straight into the depths of the North Blue.

Shortly thereafter, a naval fleet visited the island.

However, the navy, arriving too late, found only an empty settlement on the island; they didn't see a single other person.

Earlier, at Marine Headquarters, recruit training camp.

Zephyr remained frowning even after ending his call with Dragon.

Who exactly is it?

The location where Dragon and his group were situated was completely unknown to outsiders.

Even Sakazuki didn't know the exact location.

Who leaked their whereabouts?

Could it be that there's a traitor among Dragon's ranks?

If that's the case, then that's a real problem!

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Zephyr wasn't surprised; he had been using his Observation Haki and had already sensed someone approaching.

But to complete the act, he still asked, "Who?"

"Professor Zephyr, I have a few questions about Tekkai that I'd like to ask!"

A somewhat loud male voice came from outside the door.

"Come in, Kuzan."

In a certain area of North Blue, amidst the hastily fleeing fleet, Dragon was caught in a deep dilemma. "There might be a traitor among us."

"Traitor..."

Doctor Trafalgar closed his eyes in anguish. "So, someone is actually colluding with the Navy?"

He couldn't accept that someone among his compatriots was involved with the World Government!

Dragon understood Trafalgar's pain.

But the most urgent task now is to find the traitor, otherwise...

Boom!

The enormous roar naturally came from one side of the fleet.

Not far out at sea, a series of ships are approaching.

"They've really come! They actually dared to stop us from taking our revenge on the world! Have you forgotten the hatred of Flevance? Then you deserve to die too! Hehehehe!"

At the bow of the large ship that had fired its cannons, a man who appeared to be insane was laughing loudly.

A gust of wind suddenly swept into the sky, Dragon gritted his teeth, "Bastard!"
