Dragon told the Revolutionary Army that the Star Alliance was forcing them to reveal their position while dismantling the World Government’s enemies. He concluded that Ronglin meant to destroy the World Government’s rule and leave the nations to govern themselves, with Fish-Man Island prepared as a refuge.

• Dragon warned that the World Government might turn against the Star Alliance once the Yonko Alliance was defeated, and said the Revolutionary Army would act while the Star Alliance focused on that battle.

Dragon explained the Revolutionary Army’s plan to overthrow the World Government while Ronglin’s Star Alliance weakened Blackbeard and Kaido’s territories. The Marines blocked the Yonko Alliance from attacking Star Alliance civilians, and Ronglin questioned whether their intervention concealed a conspiracy.

• Dragon said Ronglin must have a plan to resolve the conflict between the Star Alliance’s world-order ambitions and its pirate members, then ordered the Revolutionary Army to move out.
• Ronglin’s Second Fleet raided Blackbeard’s territory, destroying strongholds and islands and damaging a reserve fleet while the rest of the Star Alliance forces prepared to ambush the Yonko Alliance.

• Ronglin received news of the Marines’ intervention and asked his commanders, including Momousagi, whether it was part of a conspiracy.

Ronglin and the Star Alliance suspected Sengoku was maneuvering the Marines to make the Star Alliance and Yonko Alliance weaken each other, but Ronglin chose to turn the returning pirates into targets for their Triangle Sea Area ambush. He rejected Blackbeard’s offer to join forces against the World Government, leaving his pirate-born followers unsettled.

• Momousagi argued that Sengoku had intervened to protect civilians, but Ronglin suspected the Marines were trying to drive the Yonko Alliance into a battle with the Star Alliance.

• Sabo told Ronglin that the Revolutionary Army had divided its forces, with three hundred thousand fighters attacking Mary Geoise to weaken the World Government for the Star Alliance.
