The Navy and the World Government are dealing with the aftermath of their defeat, and the Revolutionary Army is also holding a huge internal meeting.

The Revolutionary Army is an anti-government organization led by Monkey D. Dragon, whose goal is to overthrow the unequal rule of the Celestial Dragons who control the World Government.

The unexpected turn of events in the world, with the four Affiliated Nation breaking away from the World Government, also caught the Revolutionary Army off guard.

If the Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow the World Government, it naturally needs to weaken the World Government's allies, namely the World Government Member States the World Government that provide it with Heavenly Gold support.

Therefore, they constantly plot to overthrow and destroy the Affiliated Nation.

However, the secession of the four Affiliated Nation undoubtedly meant that they were no longer enemies of the Revolutionary Army.

Taking action against these kingdoms would go against the original purpose of the Revolutionary Army, as these kingdoms no longer have any connection with the World Government.

The defection of these kingdoms dealt a fatal blow to the World Government, greatly reducing the number of its World Government Member States and weakening the overall power of the World Government.

This was naturally advantageous to the Revolutionary Army, making their tasks much easier.

However, the Revolutionary Army cannot attack the kingdoms of the four seas. Since the Revolutionary Army previously wanted to overthrow the World Government, it was understandable that they would overthrow the rule of the Affiliated Nation.

Now, if we were to attack and overthrow those kingdoms again, we would definitely be wanted by kingdoms all over the world and become a thorn in their side.

When the various kingdoms get serious, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army's current base is all over the world. At that time, let alone overthrowing the World Government's rule, it will be a question whether it can even develop.

Previously, these kingdoms had not deliberately targeted the Revolutionary Army, but instead trusted the power of the World Government and handed over the Heavenly Gold. Naturally, they needed the World Government to help them deal with this trouble.

The power of a large part of the world can be restricted even by the World Government, let alone the relatively young Revolutionary Army.

With Dragon, a top-tier powerhouse, the Revolutionary Army is different from previous small rebellious groups, naturally making other kingdoms more vigilant.

So, what should the Revolutionary Army do next? This was also a topic of discussion at the meeting; at the very least, the strategy for their next actions needed to be changed.

The Grand Line, Baldigo, the White Earth Island, the base of the Revolutionary Army.

"How is the situation in Sihai?" Long asked an intelligence officer beside him. There were other important Revolutionary Army cadres around as well.

Bear, and "Okama King" Emporio Ivankov were also present.

After all, this is an important meeting that will affect the Revolutionary Army's next moves.

"Yes, the Affiliated Nation of the Four Seas have broken away from the World Government and no longer rely on the Navy. In order to resist pirates, each kingdom is strengthening its military capabilities, and cannons produced in the West Blue are being shipped to the Four Seas and even the Grand Line."

"After annexing the local Marine Branch, the military strength of these kingdoms has greatly increased. Coupled with the powerful weapons they have purchased, the effects are already beginning to show. In a short period of time, clashes between kingdoms and pirates have occurred all over the world, with the kingdoms winning more often than losing. Now, some pirates are no longer willing to invade these kingdoms and have turned their attention to other places."

"It is foreseeable that, as time goes by, the role of the navy will be completely replaced, most of the four seas will soon stabilize, and the trend of pirate expansion will be gradually suppressed."

"Among them, many kingdoms have demonstrated astonishing military strength, and some even possess hidden powerhouses who could stand out in the Grand Line and the New World. It is conceivable that the power these kingdoms possess is not as great as it appears on the surface. They have even been keeping a low profile and hiding their strength under the suppression of the World Government. Now that they have broken away from the World Government, they no longer need to hide."

At this point, photos, videos, and various collected evidence were presented to them, causing the surrounding Revolutionary Army to look on in surprise.

This is not what they imagined.

This is normal. There are all sorts of traditions and secret manuals in this world. For example, the Happo Navy of the Flower Country in the West Blue has a tradition called "Hasshoken".

The other naval forces were naturally not bad either. Although their leaders were not as good as "Chinjao" who had fought in the New World, they could at least deal with the pirates of the West Blue with relative ease.

There are many large and powerful countries similar to the Flower Country in the world. The World Government has existed for nearly eight hundred years, and the kingdoms that have survived have all had a rich history.

Even if they don't, they will discover the importance of the strong later on.

At the very least, hiring powerful individuals is far too easy for the kingdom.

Having witnessed the vastness of the world and the divine capabilities that human beings can achieve, these kingdoms, for the sake of that sense of security, will constantly recruit strong individuals or cultivate them themselves.

Training requires methods, and under someone's secret guidance, the training methods of the Marine Six Styles spread to all corners of the world, which is exactly what these kingdoms need.

And this person was Doflamingo. The heavy blow dealt to the World Government made Doflamingo happy for a long time. He had seen the hope of the Celestial Dragons falling from their pedestals.

Furthermore, with his own vision and insights, he perceived the important position of the world.

Furthermore, the current situation is unstable. The World Government still has hope of reclaiming the four seas because the number of pirates is skyrocketing, and naturally some of them are powerful. Doflamingo is worried that the kingdoms of the four seas may not be able to suppress the pirates, leading to a deeper and deeper entanglement and creating a situation similar to that faced by the World Government.

Given such a stark precedent, Doflamingo's concerns were not unfounded.

Therefore, he wanted to strengthen the power of the kingdoms in the four seas. With the kingdoms in the four seas stronger, it would be easier to deal with pirates, and naturally, the navy would not be able to return to the four seas.

And when it comes to strengthening the combat power of these kingdoms, there is naturally nothing better than the Marine Six Styles.

The Six Powers are universal, anyone can practice them, and there are clear training methods and techniques.

During the training process, your strength and physique will improve. Moreover, as long as you learn just one or two techniques, you can become a formidable fighting force.

Therefore, Doflamingo specifically sent people to trade with various kingdoms using the secret manuals of the Marine Six Styles, and they generally agreed, except for a few powerful kingdoms that may have already possessed such things.

While achieving his goal, Doflamingo also made a fortune, selling each volume for a high price of 50 million Beli, successfully amassing billions of Beli.

What Doflamingo brought out was naturally not an ordinary manual; it was much more detailed and could help others learn the Six Powers more efficiently.

Meanwhile, after the success of this plan, an even more insane idea was born in Doflamingo's mind: to completely make the Six Powers a common, ubiquitous phenomenon.

This will undoubtedly enhance the world's overall strength, as well as the overall strength of pirates, leaving only the World Government and the Navy in an awkward position.

Among the pirates are many ambitious individuals, who will inevitably pose a threat to the World Government. The stronger the pirates become, the greater the impact on the World Government.

This is a world of the strong, where the law of the jungle prevails. Even Doflamingo himself is no exception; he has to keep a low profile when facing many monsters in the New World.

The spread of these images has led the world to accept this ideology, which has gradually taken root in people's hearts. This is a broken world, and the World Government has clearly collapsed.

What Doflamingo wants to do is turn this idea into reality, that is, to give everyone a way to acquire power and become stronger.

This is just his idea; it will take at least a few years, until the power of the Four Seas Kingdom increases, before this situation can be completely stabilized.

Doflamingo racked his brains to destroy the World Government and the Celestial Dragons; even the Dragons never imagined they would have such an "assistant."

The Revolutionary Army's meeting continued, and the powerful forces of various kingdoms were displayed before them.

It's truly astonishing that the four weakest sea areas actually harbor so many powerful individuals.

Many arrogant pirates were killed on the spot, which deterred a large group of pirates.

Among them, the Tiresfa Kingdom, one of the largest kingdoms in the West Blue, has nearly a hundred warships patrolling the surrounding waters. Any pirates who dare to approach are eliminated, and the kingdom even has the resources to send people to help other kingdoms.

Their military strength is terrifying, with millions of troops and such a formidable naval fleet.

These kingdoms have bared their fangs, and no amount of pirates can withstand them.

Even the dragon was slightly shocked.

The true nature of the world began to emerge after the World Government lost power. These kingdoms, which had been suppressed by the World Government, no longer hid themselves and began to become an important force influencing the world.

Before this, Dragon was focused on overthrowing the World Government and the Affiliated Nation, and had not properly understood the power of the various kingdoms.

They overthrew only relatively weak countries, which were incomparable in size to powerful and large nations.

If we were to deal with these truly powerful nations, even the entire Revolutionary Army's current strength would likely be insufficient to cause any trouble. Besides the fact that these kingdoms are inherently powerful, their domestic situations are stable and they are not affected by the Great Pirate Era.

In these kingdoms, there was simply no fertile ground for the survival of the Revolutionary Army or the spread of their ideas.

The Revolutionary Army's main areas of activity are still those corrupt, internally chaotic Affiliated Nation that have been heavily influenced by the Great Pirate Era.

There are many kingdoms in this world, about three hundred. Among the non- Affiliated Nation, apart from the very weak ones, there are also powerful ones that have been able to maintain stability during the Great Pirate Era.

Following the Paramount War, as the Great Pirate Era progresses further and the seas become even more chaotic, the Affiliated Nation of the World Government increases from over 170 to over 220. However, these countries are unable to sustain themselves in the increasingly turbulent seas and therefore require the protection of the World Government.

In the coming period, the military strength of these kingdoms will increase, as they are the main buyers of arms. In such a chaotic era, they will do their best to arm themselves.

Technological advancements have led to the development of powerful cannons that even pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million wouldn't dare to take on head-on, as both their power and accuracy have been greatly improved.

However, the dragons quickly realized that their enemy was only the World Government, not these kingdoms.

They still strive to overthrow some of the more corrupt kingdoms where people suffer, but the dragons also harbor fear towards other kingdoms.

Even if those kingdoms are overthrown, it cannot be revealed openly, as this would provoke their hostility.

Long thought carefully, then gently tapped the table. "Let me explain our future development direction."

"I've decided to shift my focus to the East China Sea, the Grand Line, and the Red Line," Dragon said calmly.

"Why? Dragon, I can understand the Grand Line and the Red Line, but why choose the East Sea out of the Four Seas?" Ivankov asked, somewhat puzzled.

This was also the question on everyone's mind. They didn't question the dragon's decision; they just wanted to hear the dragon's reasons.

"Given the current situation, it's impossible for us to rely on the Four Seas for development. However, we need a sea far away from the World Government to develop, and the best of the Four Seas is the East Sea," Long explained quietly. "The North Sea is chaotic and wars are frequent, the South Sea is secretly controlled by the Emperor, and the West Blue is secretly controlled by the Night Pirates. The East Sea is more suitable for our development."

"What? The Night Pirates have taken control of the West Blue? How is that possible?" The key members of the Revolutionary Army around them couldn't believe the news.

"Yes, the Dark Council was established by the Night Pirates and controls the dark world. With the Dark Council's current influence, it's no different for us than controlling the entire West Blue." Dragon said, shaking his head.

"The Grand Line, as the World Government's main territory, is primarily for intelligence gathering."

"Besides the East China Sea, the target of this operation is the Red Line. From now on, the Revolutionary Army will penetrate deep into the Red Line, recruit members, help them, and organize the inhabitants of the Red Line to resist."

"This is a tremendous force, and we must seize it. In the short term, development should be our priority. The revolutionary forces on the Red Line need to be strengthened, but they also need to remain hidden."

Direct resistance is impossible; the World Government would easily suppress them. They need time to develop, they need weapons, and they need food—all of which are in large quantities.

The same applies to launching wars against the World Government; the current weakness of the army presents a good opportunity for them to develop.

The army was also in turmoil, with many of its members being residents of the Red Line. The complete annihilation of the Golden Sea, coupled with the rebellion on the Red Line, led many army members to break away and turn against the World Government.

The World Government's rule over the Red Line involves rallying one faction to deal with another, using incentives to win over some of the greedy individuals, and then using their power to combat the rebels.

This is why not everyone is resisting. Some residents of the Red Line, influenced by the World Government and driven by self-interest, are willing to become its pawns to fight against those who were originally on the same side.

The Red Line was thus divided into two parts.

Some were unwilling to leave the Red Line for survival; among them, 30% were rebels, and 20% became henchmen of the World Government.

The remaining 50% have basically begun their escape, wanting to leave the Red Line.
