Revolutionary Army? Coulson!

"This is indeed a great thing for countries around the world."

Shakky looked at him and said, "But do you believe that a dark government that has existed for over eight hundred years would suddenly become so benevolent? I don't believe it."

"They say it's hard to change one's nature, and that applies not only to people but also to an organization. There must be a deep-seated conspiracy here, Rayleigh died because of it!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Gaban asked again.

Hatred flashed in Shakky's eyes, but she maintained a cold expression, casually smoking a cigarette and speaking softly.

"It's very simple: sabotage and hinder what they want to do."

"While the World Government's transformation is just beginning, gather the people who are extremely oppressed by the World Government and the nobles of various countries, lead them to take up arms and revolt to overthrow the king above them, spread revolutionary ideas to poor countries, small countries and every island where life is difficult, and completely stir up the waters of this sea!"

Gaban and the others were shocked by the woman's terrifying ideas, but when they thought about her status as a former executive of the Rocks Pirates, it wasn't so strange.

"Are you planning to start a direct war with the World Government?"

Gaban shook his head helplessly and said apologetically, "Although our strength is not bad, it's difficult to stop the Navy's top combat power."

The four Eye Dragon reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The Roger Pirates were not the Rocks Pirates, after all; unlike the latter, whose every officer was a super big shot.

"No!"

"There's no need to confront them head-on. We just need to use the intelligence network I've built over the decades to secretly incite and lead them. Once the navy's main force or top combat power is mobilized, we can receive the news in advance and relocate. They won't be able to catch us."

Speaking of this, Shakky's face was full of confidence. In this world, the only person who could rival her in intelligence was CIPHER POL.

But they were just rivals!

"As for top-tier combat power, we can cultivate it over several decades, or we can find strong individuals that we can utilize. I never thought that overthrowing the World Government was something that could be done in a short time."

"The important thing is the idea, to pass on Roger's ideas, Rayleigh's ideas, so that the organization we founded can continue."

To put it bluntly, Shakky's goal is to spend the rest of her life creating a force that will forever annoy the World Government; that's her current objective.

Gaban and his group were the first core members she used to build her power base.

"I see. Alright, count me Gaban. Rather than growing old doing nothing, I'd rather squeeze every last drop of value out of myself. If it's for Captain Roger and Rayleigh, I'm willing!"

"I'd love to!"

"This is much better than opening a boxing gym back home. I'll teach the younger members boxing!" Eye Dragon, wearing spiked boxing gloves, grinned.

"Then I'll teach you how to shoot."

Wearing a top hat and a gentleman's suit, Petermoo touched the long gun slung across his back and said without a smile.

"Leave the Swordsmanship to me; I am a swordsman after all!" Taro said.

"Good!"

Shakky had anticipated this outcome, so she wasn't surprised at all. It was she who had taken the initiative to contact Gaban and tell him about Rayleigh. She then looked at Crocus, who hadn't said a word.

"Mr. Crocus, we really need your superb medical skills."

Crocus hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused her.

"I'm sorry, but I'll pass. I need to treat and take care of Laboon. It's an agreement between me and the Rumbar Pirates. If it keeps crashing like this, it'll soon be sunk to the bottom of the sea. However, if you have any seriously ill or difficult-to-treat patients in the future, you can send them over. I will do my best to treat them, just out of consideration for our past relationship."

Shakky thought about it and felt that this would work. This place could be used as a covert point. Twin Capes is located at the Reverse Mountain, which can be used to monitor ships coming and going.

As for whether the other party would leak the information, she wasn't too worried. She had already thoroughly investigated Crocus's situation. The reason he gave earlier was indeed true, and the World Government hadn't paid any attention to him despite him being here for so long.

"Alright, in that case, we'll take our leave now. We'll be counting on you from now on!"

"Okay, go ahead, be careful."

Crocus didn't try to stop them; what these people were about to do was Seita dangerous. He didn't have such thoughts; he only wanted to spend his remaining years here with Laboon.

Ideally, I should outlive Laboon and wait for it to die of old age before passing away myself, so that I will have no more worries.

"By the way, the Rumbar Pirates you mentioned, as far as I know, they disbanded a long time ago. They might have been defeated by other One Piece crews, or they might have fled the Grand Line. In any case, they won't be coming back."

"Ah, I already know that."

Shakky said no more and then left with Gaban and the others. They were going to meet up with Mireley Payne, Max, Rangram, and others, and see if they could call for more companions.

This time, it's not about sneaking into Mary Geoise; I imagine many people would be willing to secretly join or help.

"Call----"

Once they had all left, Crocus breathed a sigh of relief and sat down wearily. Rubbing his temples, he sighed, "Isn't a peaceful life good? Why live in constant fear of death for some ideology?"

He felt that Roger's decision to disband the One Piece crew instead of letting Rayleigh take over as captain and continue leading the crew on adventures was probably to ensure they had a peaceful end to their lives.

But now, Rayleigh's adventurous death has made the crew restless, especially Shakky, whose cold glint in her eyes is unsettling.

"Never mind, go to sleep. I'm just a middle-aged man who knows a little medicine and keeps Lighthouse." He glanced out the window at Laboon, who had fallen asleep on the bed.

But when he opened his eyes again, bathed in the warm sunlight streaming through the window, as he awoke from his deep sleep, he suddenly heard some familiar music playing in his ears.

It seems to be coming from outside.

And there was Laboon's familiar call, but this time the sound no longer carried sadness and loneliness; instead, it was filled with joy.

Crocus quickly got out of bed, pushed open the door and went out, but the moment the door opened, the music suddenly became louder, and the cheerful music echoed throughout the Twin Capes.

"I'll send you Binks' Sake ~"

"Riding the waves, I roam freely!"

"The waves surge, the sunset stirs~"

Listening carefully, he realized that it was not a one-person song, but a chorus of many people!

That is...

Crocus looked up and saw a slender man in black standing on the edge of the Red Line, Laboon the sea, with his back to him.

Meanwhile, Laboon swam excitedly back and forth, swishing its tail and chirping at the person from time to time, causing large amounts of spray to turn into raindrops that fell down and then transformed into a beautiful rainbow under the bright sunshine.

He felt like he recognized him.

Just as Crocus was about to go down for a closer look, he turned around and saw three men in black walking up the stone steps, the one in the lead wearing a pleasant, gentle smile.

"Hello, Dr. Crocus, I am Coulson, Senior Director of the Administrative Department of the World Government's State Council. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"World Government!!"

Crocus's expression changed drastically, his body tensing instantly. He thought to himself, "Could it be that what happened yesterday has been discovered? Oh no!"
