Warning, Play a Game, and Save Big Bear, the Live-in Son-in-Law
"That's right, Boss,"
Morgans on the other end of the phone had already begun explaining to himself.
"Dragon and Ivankov seem to have a very important companion who has been captured by Charlotte Linlin, so they've decided to rescue him. They've even prepared for a one-way trip, and have already arranged who will replace them if they don't return! Do you think we should do anything?"
"What?"
Roa was horrified.
"You find it strange too, right?"
Morgans' voice was also filled with incomprehension, "How did the Charlotte Family get involved with the Self-Respect Army in the North Blue? None of the Self-Respect Army's officers have gone missing."
"No, I knew that all along. I was the one who asked Aunt Linlin to arrest that guy. He wasn't a cadre of the Self-Respect Army, but he was indeed Ivankov's close friend."
Roa sat up straight, his voice filled with shock, "What surprised me was that Dragon was actually prepared to go all out to rescue his companion from my Aunt Linlin's hands?"
"You knew all along?"
Morgans was suddenly startled; so what kind of despicable thing had the Boss done this time?
Then, after hearing the rest of Roa's words clearly, he asked in surprise, "Isn't it just rescuing a comrade? What's so surprising about that?"
Countless people would rescue their companions at sea, wouldn't they?
Roa then said meaningfully, "Morgans, you still don't understand that guy Dragon."
The Daimyo "King of Sweating" is no mere figurehead.
In the original work, Ginny is the commander of the East Army of the Revolutionary Army, a genuine high-ranking figure in the Revolutionary Army.
As a result, she was captured by the Celestial Dragons and tortured, Dragon didn't even utter a sound, did he?
You could say that the Revolutionary Army was still very weak at that time, and couldn't directly storm into the Reverie and declare war on the World Government like they can in the future, nor could they attack the food ships of Mary Geoise to cut off the Holy Land's food supply and cause the Celestial Dragons a lot of trouble, so they could only endure it.
Well then, isn't the Self-Respect Army Force even weaker now?
What's the major difference between the current Charlotte Family and the Self-Respect Army Revolutionary Army's perception of the World Government in the original story when Ginny was captured?
After all, apart from the Charlotte Family, all the big shots in the New World are nominally allies of Aunt Linlin!
"He's not the kind of person who would easily risk everything to save someone, even if that person is his closest relative! Let alone someone who's just Ivankov's friend! There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
Roa immediately said with absolute certainty.
I may not understand the friendships and bonds forged on the high seas, but I certainly understand Dragon!
This is something that guy wouldn't do!
Whether it's cowardice and ingratitude or prioritizing the greater good, in that guy's heart, the cause of the Self-Respect Army must be the top priority.
He doesn't even know Xiong yet, so why would he risk everything for someone who is practically a complete stranger?
Are you kidding me!
"Forehead..."
Morgans hesitated, unable to understand how Boss had made such a conclusion so quickly.
But since the boss said so, there must be a reason.
So Morgans immediately racked his brains, trying to figure out Dragon's possible purpose was.
Suddenly he exclaimed, "Now I understand, Boss! Dragon is well aware of our extensive infiltration of their Self-Respect Army, so this grand display is precisely to convey this message to us!"
"Oh?"
Roa's eyes lit up immediately. "So that's how it is! Knowing I wouldn't let them die easily, they're hoping I'll step in and mediate, right? That Dragon is such a baby!"
Even if they can't help rescue the bear, they should be content if they can help stop Aunt Linlin's revenge.
It must be said that Dragon's plan was not without merit.
He really didn't want to see the Self-Respect Army, which he had worked so hard to cultivate, just disappear like that.
That must be it!
Morgans was immediately filled with righteous indignation. "Boss, Dragon has really gotten too big for his britches! He's even trying to scheme against you! This time, we must teach him a lesson!"
That's true, but how should we discipline them?
Roa stroked his chin.
That's a real shame.
It's a pity that Aunt Linlin is already pregnant, otherwise she definitely wouldn't mind giving birth to Garp's grandson, and the name would be Charlotte D. Luffy.
Killing Dragon and Ivankov outright was going too far; they were hoping they'd bring some new excitement to the world.
Let's give them a warning.
Roa said, "Didn't the Self-Respect Army send people to infiltrate various countries in the North Blue to instigate uprisings? Then let them start ahead of time. Honestly, starting an uprising before they're fully prepared, Dragon, how many people are you going to kill this time?"
This will make North Blue even more lively.
"Hehehe, got it, Boss!"
Morgans chuckled. "Dragon's original intention was to encourage the people to launch their own uprising, with the Self-Respect Army hiding behind the scenes—that's where the name 'Self-Respect Army' comes from! He hoped the people would rise up and resist on their own!"
"But since you've put it that way, they naturally have to step up and take the lead."
"Um."
Roa nodded slightly.
The World Government is just bored and has to come looking for trouble. It's not a bad idea to let the Self-Respect Army share some of its attention.
I feel much better now.
By the way, when you talk about bears, you naturally think of Ginny, and when you talk about Ginny, you think of NTR (Netorare, a form of sexual intercourse).
Since the mission is to rescue the Big Bear, Ginny will definitely go too, right?
Xiong is already Aunt Linlin's son-in-law, Ginny has already been cuckolded. Wouldn't it be unfair to leave her to live a life of widowhood?
Sigh, what can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted.
How come someone as kind as me still has so many people trying to cause me trouble?
Indeed, kindness is often taken advantage of.
"You've been having quite a few troubles lately,"
Roa couldn't help but sigh, "I'm already overwhelmed."
"What?"
Morgans was suddenly taken aback. "Boss, there are still some reckless fools? Is it... the World Government?"
That was all he could think of.
The Boss's impressive performance in Logue Town had left him utterly captivated.
They thoroughly humiliated the Five Elders and easily escaped from the clutches of the unknown super monster that appeared later, leaving the World Government utterly humiliated.
It would be strange if they didn't retaliate, wouldn't it?
"That's outrageous, isn't it? The World Government is actually planning to win over Ochoku and his crew, as well as Elbaf and the Whitebeard Pirates, to join forces with them against me."
"Roa complained."
"What?"
Morgans was shocked. "Is this for real? I was wondering why so many CPs have been heading to the New World lately. Has the Shichibukai plan been launched?"
"Boss, how should we respond?"
"Of course, we'll give them a warning first, and then, how about we play a game of counter-espionage with the World Government?"
Roa raised the corners of his mouth.
"Oh! That's going to be so much fun! Hehe, Boss, I'm already looking forward to it!"
"Then let's just wait and see. By the way, since Dragon is counting on us to mediate, he must have revealed when they'll be rescuing their comrades, right?"
"As expected of you, Boss. Dragon did indeed leave time for the operation, ostensibly to reassure the higher-ups of the Self-Respect Army, but it's just a week from now!"
"Very good."
After ending his call with Morgans, Roa pondered for a moment, then summoned his Three Admirals.
"Boss, is there anything we can do for you?"
As Roa's true right-hand man, Dylan spoke first.
"Dylan, go to Elbaf. I have something to tell Harald. Please pass it on for me."
Roa said, "The World's Strongest giant, the captain's friend, Loki's father, is still worthy of respect. Sending you there in person is already quite a show of respect."
"Yes."
Dylan bowed and nodded.
As for Uncle Ochoku, he's a gossip, so a single phone call is all it takes to clear things up, right?
Oh, and there's also the Whitebeard Pirates.
That's none of your business, just kidding. It would be strange if Whitebeard who values his children's lives above all else got involved in this.
"As for you,"
Roa then looked at his right-hand men in terms of military strength, "Bullet, Abel, you two go to Totto Land."
"Totto Land?"
Abel paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "Boss, are we going to make a move against the Charlotte Family?"
"Then leave it to us, Boss!"
Bullet immediately laughed excitedly, "We'll turn the Totto Land upside down!"
"No, we're not going to start a war."
Roa couldn't help but find it a little funny.
To be honest, it has been a long time since they have had a serious war with a powerful enemy.
It's normal to have itchy hands.
However, their words now seem to be enough to turn the Totto Land upside down.
The two of them combined, while not necessarily able to defeat Aunt Linlin, should be able to hold their own against her.
Their mobility was something Aunt Linlin couldn't match at all.
"I need you to mediate a conflict and, while you're at it, bring someone back for me."
Abel and Bullet were both slightly taken aback, then nodded simultaneously, "Yes!"
Shortly afterward, on Beehive Island, inside the Skull Building.
Just Ochoku was pondering his next move, the Den Den Mushi) suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.
"Um?"
Ochoku, his thoughts interrupted, frowned slightly and answered the phone with a hint of annoyance, "Who is it?"
His voice inevitably carried a hint of anger.
"Oh, Uncle Ochoku isn't in a good mood?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was light and cheerful.
There is only one person in the world who would speak to him like that, and who would address him like that.
Why are you calling at this hour?
Ochoku's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This kid has done so many unbelievable things.
So the moment Ochoku heard his voice, he exclaimed inwardly, "Exposed? Has our collusion with the World Government been exposed?"
Wrong!
No matter how powerful this kid is, his connection with me should be a complete secret with the World Government. How could it be leaked so easily?
Ochoku calmed himself down and was about to speak when he heard Roa continue on the phone.
"Is he struggling with the idea that they're colluding with the World Government to betray me?"
Isn't this a complete exposure?
At that moment, Ochoku's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
It must have been leaked from the World Government!
Only he, Silver Axe John, and two others knew about this, so there was no reason for it to be leaked.
Damn it!
The World Government that ruled the world for eight hundred years—what a bunch of bullshit and makeshift organizations!
"Roa, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Although he knew it would be difficult to fool anyone, Ochoku was still prepared to try again.
"Oh? Don't say such insulting things to my intelligence, Uncle Ochoku,"
Roa's words carried a leisurely smile, "If you say such things again, I'll tell Uncle Shiki that it was you who was behind the attack on Roger, which led to Roger's eventual defeat."
"..."
Ochoku's face immediately turned ashen.
World Government of Dogs!
Even this matter has been leaked?
Just how far has that brat Roa infiltrated you all?
But seriously, just how powerful is Roa?
Leaving aside his overwhelming personal strength at less than seventeen years old, how did the forces under his command also become so incomprehensibly powerful?
Is this reasonable?
However, this is already undeniable.
Ochoku took a deep breath, sweat already beading on his forehead. "Roa, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to play along with the World Government and see if I could find another chance to outmaneuver them."
It's embarrassing to talk about.
Ochoku realized something: he was unconsciously afraid of Roa's anger.
That's probably why he's considering agreeing to the World Government's proposal, right?
Because he simply lacked the confidence to defeat Roa.
"Oh! I knew it! Uncle Ochoku, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Roa's voice was as light and cheerful as ever, revealing no trace of his true emotions.
Ochoku had known him for so many years, and he had never seen Roa truly angry or serious. Even when he was just a kid, Luo Ya always faced everything with a playful attitude.
Therefore, at this moment, Ochoku was also unable to determine what Roa meant.
"In that case, let's not waste this opportunity, Uncle Ochoku! Let's give the World Government a big surprise!"
In that instant, Ochoku seemed to see a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
The World Government is in trouble again!
Ochoku couldn't help but think this way.
Should we refuse?
Should we reject Roa?
Ochoku took a deep breath, and then he heard himself say,
"Good."
A few days later, in the central area of the sea controlled by the Charlotte Family, which is on the outskirts of the Whole Cake Island Sea.
A small boat quietly approached.
Four people were standing on the deck of the small boat.
"Ginny, are you really coming with us?"
Ivankov, with his large face, turned around, looked at his sister, and said seriously, "Totto Land is very dangerous. Why don't you wait for us outside?"
"No!"
Ginny shook her head seriously, "Since we're going to rescue Bear Cub, I absolutely cannot be absent!"
"Besides, big brother, don't underestimate me. I've been training all these years to protect the bear cubs!"
"Alright! We're already here, why are you even talking about going back?"
Crocodile said irritably, "This woman isn't a brat anymore; she knows what she's doing!"
"All right!"
Ivankov nodded solemnly. "Ginny, you must stay close to us and absolutely do not act on your own!"
"Remember this: we're here to rescue people,"
"Finding the bear is our victory!" Dragon said.
The bear's abilities allowed it to easily carry them all away.
"Then let's begin the infiltration!"
Crocodile grinned, "I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of den Charlotte Linlin, one of the Seven Monarchs, has in store!"
"The Charlotte Family's intelligence capabilities are second to none, and their control over the Whole Cake Island Sea goes without saying."
"A successful infiltration to Cake Island is by no means an easy task," Dragon said.
"But just like the Fish-Man logistics of the Calamity Company, we shouldn't have any problems going underwater."
The surface of the small boat was coated with a film.
In any case, the operation to rescue the live-in son-in-law, Big Bear, has begun.
